 A peculiar yet spectacular accident occurred last week Tuesday morn ing. when H. D. Moulton's water ing cart, driven by Oscar King, ac. cidentally broke off the pipe where the cart is filled, at the corner of
 Main and Wast ington streets. The approach is a difficult one for a two horse team, on account of the gutter. The cart was driven up from the north preparatory to filling it, when the back wheel struck the pipe and broke it of. Immediately a geyser of water arose into the trees, and proved quite pleasing spectacle to the crowd which gathered. Superintendent Boucher and two men. who were working near by, shut off the water after several minutes had elapsed.
 Clayton Lyon escaped from what might have been a serious accident last week Monday evening. MT. Lyon was driving up the academy hill. when an automobile frightened his horse The animal ran up the hill to the bridge, when it went on to the sidewalk and up the walk as far as the home of Milton E. Howe, where the wagon struck hitchirg post. MT. Lyon was thrown heavily out. The horse was freed from the
 wagon by the contact with the post, and continued to on the Dr P. w Soule's block. where it stopped.
 MT. Lyon was taken to Dr. o. w.. Jackson's, where it was found he was somewhat bruised and badly shaken up, but not seriously injured. Mir
 Lyon lost control of the horse because & part of the bridle broke when the horse first started.

HE SOUGHT DEATH.
The Unfortunate Napoleon lII. at ths
 Battle of Sedan,

 Battle of Sedan.
 Sarah Bernhardt mentions in her me molrs that Napoleon III. had two horses shot under him at Sedan. Some having thrown doubt on her statement and denied that the emperor was ever In personal danger at the time, Baron Verly, son of the late colonel of the Cent Gardes, gives what he afirms to be the authentic account of the unhap- py sovereign's persistent attempts to court death when he saw that defeat was unavoidable. On Sept. 1, 1870, at o'clock in the morning, Marshal MacMahon, returning wounded to Se- dan. met the emperor riding out to Bazeilles. Napoleon III. realized that the situation was desperate. He rode slowly out, depressed and thoughtful. he inspected the positions. BulletR rained on his escort. Captain d'Hende court was killed few feet away from the emperor. The latter, deliberately seeking death, alighted, ordered his es cort to remain behind an embankmene and walked up to a cemetery on a height, where he stayed for another hour, exposed to fire. He mounted again and rode to another part of the field. General de COursOn and Captain de Trecesson were dangerously wound ed by his side. but not bullet hit him. The emperor at last seemed to despair of meeting his death as he sought 1t and rode back to Sedan at noon. In the town itself shells fell thick. and while the emperor was riding with his escort up the Grand Rue one burst just in front of him, wounded one of the Cent Gardes and killed the horses of two aids-de-camp. Napoleon HI. looked on stolidly. understanding, per haps, that 1t was not his fate to die in action. The story that he had two horses killed under him is, therefore, not correct But there is no doubt that the unfortunate emperor, beaten and i'll, a pathetic and tragic figure. did de liberately seek death on the field to escape the disgrace of Sedan which he fOresaw.-Paris Letter.

Osmoeie Im Medioina.

OsmOsis is the passage of . liquid or gas through a membrane. Some times medicines are administered in this way. But how far we are from understanding the details of this sub ject as related to the human body is indicated by some experiments of Pro- lessor Louis Kahlenberg. All attempts to introduce lithium salts into the sys- tenn by absorption through the skin have failed, and yet the same salts make their way readily through the mucous membrane. When the feet are soaked in solution of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, an alkaline reaction quickly takes place internally. But citric acid refuses to act the same way, although both of the acids have a sim- liar effect when taken through the di- gestive tract. Sulphnric acid, then, has quite a different physiological ef- feet when 1t enters through the skin instead of through the mouth. Living membranes act differently with regard to OsmoSis from dead ones, and the same membranes which behave alike with regard to some substances behave very differently from one another with regard to other substances.

A Fee to Malaria.

That most animals have some spe- eiHc function to perform is well known. Now scientists claim that a species of fish exists in Australian waters which feeds on the larvae of mosqui- toes and so reduces the prospects of malaria. It belongs to family of car nivorOus or flesh eating fish which is frequently found in the temperate and troplc zones and usually in shallow water. Very small in size, being only about one and half to two inches in length, 1t has. in the male, yellow and black striped fins, while the eye is of . bright blue.

Terrifying Experience With . Deadly
 Lancehead.
 The Paris Eclair tells a blood cur ding serpent story, the scene of which was the island of Martinique and the dramatis personae Sergeant Legrand and Private Durand and the snake a deadly lancehead.
 The soldier had been punished with a night in the cells for some. trivial Of- fense, but as the night was very hot the sergeant had left the door open. In the morning at o'clock Legrand went to wake his prisoner and. to his horror, beheld lancehead snake coiIed up and fast asleep on the mans breast.
 The sergeant did not lose his presence of mind. He stole nOiseleSsly away, ran to the guard room and. followed by all the men on duty, returned to the cell with bowl of milk and 8 tin whis- tie. Placing the bowl of milk at the entrance to the cell. the sergeant began to play the Blue Danube" 1t is need less to remark that the weakness of the lancehead is milk and music. The serpent, which was a six foot speci- men, awoke. glided from the soldiers body toward the bowl. but 1t had no sooner buried its head in its beloved drink than ten cudgels descended on 1t with terrific force, killing it outright.
 The soldier Durand, who was in a swoon, was taken to hospital. where he lay for many days on the verge of madness. He finally recovered and re Iokod hfo hOrrlhlo oxOnrinncA-hOw he had awoke in the middle of the night as the serpent was coiling itself on his bare breast and how he had lain there in an agony for hours. not daring to move 8 muscle.
 Durand was sent back to France as soon as he had sufficiently recovered The only trace of his terrible experi- ence. adds the Eclair. is that his hair Is now snow white.

A Wise Critic.

 His criticisms were honest, fearless and independent, and. it is remembered of him that he refused the honor of belonging to the French academy lest he should come under obligation to fa- vor the plays written by other mem bers.
 Sarcey's good sense was often put to the test. One day friend came rush. Ing into his room waving a paper.
 What Is the matterY inquired the critic.
 Here's some one," cried the other. "who has been calling you an fmbe- cile' in print! Are you going to chal- lenge himY
