TO STUDY MORTGAGES.

New York. March 6.-Vice Presi-
dent Frank Bailey of the Title Guar
antee and Trust company will sail
for Europe tomorrow and while
abroad will make an exhaustive
study of the Credit Foncier and
French methods of loaning money
on real estate. Mr.. Bailey declares
that real estate mortgages are better
Investments in times of financial
trouble than so-called conservative

Il hope" said Mr.. Bailey, that
as result of existing conditions the
managers of the great trust funds.
such as life insurance companies and
savings banks, will come to see that
part of their duty is to help and aid
the thrifty people to obtain a home
and will give them the same rate of
interest as the man who wishes to
borrow 100000. If there is any
one thing that the City of New York
needs 1t Is greater number of home
owners, but If each home owner
must borrow where he can at any
old rate. paying more interest than
the fellow who wishes to borrow
100000 or 100000. then the man
ayers of trust funds are not doing

A DEAD FACE WAS
SEEN AT THE WINDOW.

New York, March 0.-Although
Mrs. Margaret Dunn died, physicians
say, while seated in a big chair gaZ-
ing out of the front window of her
house in Berry street, Williamsburg,
some time on Saturday last, the fact
Of her death was not discovered until

Passersby in the interim who saw
Mrs. Dunn in her accustomed place

the familiar sight. and thought moth
ing of her constantly maintained po-
sition there.
According to the story now told
by her acquaintances, 1t had long
been habit with Mrs. Dunn to main
tain her vigil at the window. She
was not without reason for it. Her
aged husband, they said. disappeared
about a month ago, while apparently
temporarily deranged forgetting
where he lived, while out walking
1t was several days before he came
home, finding the place at last be-
cause while passing through the
street he happened to see his wife
at the window watching for him, the
sight apparently restoring his senses
When he disappeared again last
week, Mrs. Dunn notified the police

dow. Yesterday two little girls of
the neighborhood. getting no re-
sponse to their accustomed greeting,
wave of the hand, entered the
house to speak to their friend. When
she failed to answer them they be-

vealed the fact that the aged woman
had been dead in front of the window
since Saturday. Her husband is still
missing.

The daily sentinel., 1908-03-06

San Antonio, Tex, March 6.-To-
day is the anniversary of one of the
greatest battles in the history of
America-the final scene in the trag-
edy of the Alamo, when David Crock
EFT, William Travis and James Bowie,
with their few devoted and fearless
followers. yielded up their lives. 1t
was seventy-twO years ago, on March
4, 1868, that these heroes wrote
their names in blood on their coun-
try's roll of honor in letters that time
and change will never dim.
Interest in today's anniversary Is
heightened by the warfare that is
being waged over the custody of the
historic church building, and whicn
recently led Miss AGina de Zavala,
leader of one of the factions of the
daughters of the Texas Republic TO
maintain a seige OF three days and
nights in this cradle of Texas lib
erty.
The Alamo still stands pretty
much the same in appearance as it
vas seventy-two years ago, or a hun
died years before that. From time
tC time movements have been set on
foot to make some special use of it,
with view of making 1t a national
memorial, and there have been sew
erai attempts by 'enterpr1S1ng per-
sons to get hold of it and turn 1t to
some sort of money-making purpose
but these have all been defeated.
The latest is tentative proposition

the historic spot, with a tourists ho-

NEW LOCOMOTIVE
ENGINES ARE TESTED,

A new locomotive engine u~ndergoes a
thorough test before it is sent out on
the road to take its share of work.
When a new engine is taken into a shop
1t is turned over to a mechanic whose
duty 1t is to fit it up and make all con-
nections and adjustments of the interior
mechanism. This completed, the engine
is turned over to a fireman, who steams
it up and blows it off in order to re-
move any grease that may have accu-
mulated in the boiler, or such foreign
substances as might cause a boiler to
foam" while in service. The engine is
then turned over to an engineer, whose
duty it is to break it in. The engine
is steamed up again, and II it will run

yard. If all goes well and there is no
heating in the journals or brasses, the
engine is worked for a few hours, and
then the steam is again blown off. 1t is
XXI sent out on a long-distanoe trip, at
a speed varying from one to twenty
miles an hour, and drawing about half
its full load. Heating is one Of the
principal diseases of an engine. and it
is this feature the engineer looks to
more than anything else. The mechan-
ical sense of the experienced engineer
is so developed that he can detect the
least defect about his engine.-Scientiic

SNAIL IN BOX LIVES
YEARS WITHOUT FOOD.

The length of time which an animal
can fast is an interesting problem, and
facts seem to show that certain species
can go a very long time without food.
A writer in English Country Life
cites the case of a fasting spider. This
animal, accidentally imprisoned be-
tween the glass and the mount Of q
picture, remained there without food
for min months. The same writer has
also a fasting larva of the fiy-bug. an
insect which is said to feed on the bed
bug. 1t was in a pill box with a glass
top on September 10 last, and has re-
manned there since without food. Thus
it is undergoing the sixth month of its
fast, and is still active and healthy.
These remarkable facts, however, are
totally eclipsed by that Of a snail in the
British Museum. This was a specimen
of the desert snail from Egypt. which
was fixed to a tablet in the usual way
on March %, 1916. On March Z, 1859.
it, was seen that it must have come
out of its shell in the interval, for the
paper was discolored. Finding it could
not escape, it had retired again, and
closed it's shell with the usual film.
These signs of life ledto the immersion
OF the shell in tepid water, and the re-
covery of the animal. On March 10,
1850, it was alive and well, and sat for
its portrait.

UMBRELLA AS A LIFE BUOY.
Middle Aged Cook Paris Heroine
for Saving Two from Drowning.

Paris has been pleasantly surprised
by the exploit Of a stout, middle-aged
cook named Madeleine Duprat, who
saved two lives with an umbrella.
A dressmalser's apprentice, a pretty
.I1S-year-old girl, Julie Jallini, having
been deserted by her sweetheart,
Jumped into the Seine. Finding the
water too cold for comfortable suicide
she set up a wall, in response to which
a man-who of course could not swim
jumped in to her rescue from the DUAL
Malaquais.
Then they both began screaming, the
crowd on the bank screamed and the
French police ran up and down gesticu-
1ating with great efficiency, but Made
leine Duprat was on the job. She was
crossing the Pont du Carrousel with a
big green umbrella-Parisian variation
of the g~amp-under her arm when she
heard the screams, and looking over
the parapet saw the two drowning peo-
pie drifting In her direction.
With Madeleine to see was to act;
she hoped on the parapet and raising
the umbrella by way of parachute
jumped into the water.

two others; but the umbrella hitting
the water concave side down held her
up.
The two others as they came drifting
down with the stream grabbed it also
and between them they balanced it SO
that it did not capsize. AS they were
swept under the bridge an eddy brought
them close to the shore, whereupon the
~gendarmes reached over the bank and
hauled them ashore and hustled them
to the nearest brasserie, where ponies
of brandy could be administered.
When the matter vas reported to
Project Lepine of the Paris police he
wrote a letter of congratulation to
Madeleine, and it is understood that
the municipality Of Paris will vote a
sum of money and a life saving medal
to her for her Original explolt.-New

CURIOUS MISSOURI FARM.
No Fences Required-WheeIed
Vehicle Never Upon 1t.

Within sight of the town of Jasper,
Mo, in the Ozarks. a settler has a farm
which probably is unlike any other i n
the world.
This farm occupies the tableland ON
the summit of al ridge and is enclosed
with a fence which no animal has ever
broken through. 1t does not rise above
the surface of the farm, but falls sheer
from the edge a distance of many feet.
The man who homesteaded the table,
land had a hard climb up the face of a
perpendicular cliff to reach the COM
paratively level summit.
At one point a ledge extends out a
few inches and along the face of the
cliff at an upward grade. By following
this ledge and making use of occasional
points of rocks and of shrubs growing
in the assures the ~discoverer PUZZLED
himself to the summit and found a sur
face we'll covered with soil and a luxu-
RANT vegetation.
Gradually he improved the ledge until
he could carry up tools and seed. BY
blasting and drilling he cleared a mar
row trail, up which he was able to take
first some pigs and then a COW. Later
on he too up a horse.
And that today is the condition of
this curiously protected farm. No We
hicle has turned a wheel within its
limits of palisades. The live stock has
multiplied and consumes the grain
raised. Some stones thrown across the
trail completely fence in the hogs and
cattle. When the farmer has stock to
sell he drives the animals down the pri-
waite trail and strikes the road to Jas
per. kansas City Star.
