THE PRINCIPAL ESCAPED

THE PRINCIPAL ESCAPED
Miss Anna Moran the principal of the school.
and two of the teachers, Miss Gollmar and Miss
Rowley escaped by one of the windows In the
rear They remained with the panic-stricken
children until they could do no more Tor them
and then sought their own safety.
Miss Laura Bodey the only teacher on the
third floor formed her pupils in line and
marched them down to the second floor, Where'
finding the flames rushing up the stairway she
turned them around and hurried them back
again to the third floor. She here broke WIN
dow with chair and getting on to the platform
of the fire escape lifted out her pupils one by
one and sent them down.
-Four or five children who broke from the line
she had formed and ran down the stairway
were killed.
One of the herones of the catastrophe was
little Marie Whitman. of No. 5211 Lake street.
She ran through the smoke filed halls and
grasped her little brother, whom she managed
to drag from the room and take out through a
window both of them being nearly strangled
with smoke
Miss Pearl Lynn, teacher. narrowly escaped
death She was carried toward the rear n
trance by the rush of the panic stricken pupils
and fell at the bottom Of the stairs with num-
bers of the children top of her, She lay
there unable to rise because of the weight Of the
bodies upon her. She was dragged from the
mass of dead children just in time to her
own life.
One of the worst scenes of horror that at
tended the fire occurred at the rear doorway
of the building before the firemen arrived This
door, like the in front, opened inward, and
il locked. The children we're piled up high
against it. and when it finally was broken down
by their weight and by the fire that had partly
burned and weakened it The who had
gathered outside saw before them a of
white faces and struggling bodies The flames
swept over the aisle, while the women stood
helpless, unable TO lend a hand TO aid the chill
dren. Many of the women were unable to
withstand the sight. and dropped fanting to the
ground. The fire department was late in
reaching the building, and when it came the
apparatus was inadequate and the men were
volunteers, there being no paid fire department
in the suburb. The water pressure was
sufficiently strong to send a stream TO the sec
ond story windows. Moreover. the fremen had
no ladder that would reach to the third floor.
The volunteers did what they could. but within
a few moments after their arrival the task was
one for ambulances alone.
At the office of the firm of architects which
designed the building the plan exhibited to-
night showed that the doors were originally de-
signed TO open outward.

FISH CUT IN TWO LIVES HOURS
Strange Experiments Of Russian
Psychologist as to the Nature
OF Dez&h.

A curious series of experiments on
the persistencies of life in fishes has
been conducted by Prof Konliabko,
Psychologist at Tomsk, from which he
deduces that even decapitation does
not produce instantaneous death OF
the tissues, but merely cessation OF
functioning for lack of nutrition and
oxygen supply conveyed through the
blood
His most conclusive experiment
was performed by cutting fish in
two just below the heart. The two
parts of the body showed signs of
life for two or three minutes, in the
form of muscular contractions in both
parts and attempts to breathe by the
upper one. Then they became mo-
tionless, but even yet the upper sec,
ton was far from dead.
The professor had ready nutri.
tive solution strongly charged with
oxygen, and using this he started ar
tificial circulation in the upper sec.
ton of the fish. The heart began to
beat and the gills to vibrate; the
muscles became active and the mouth
opened and closed. In word, the
functions of all the organs seemed
to be completely restored. The fish
had not been dead at all. but had
merely been suffering from extreme
anaemia.
This stimulation was maintained
for several hours, the fish exhibiting
but in diminishing degree, all the
characteristics of life. Real death
gradually took possession Of the or
ganism. The cells became diseased
or old The power of the heart, how
ever, was marvellous. 1t retained its
power to beat, Prof. Konliabko as.
serts, sometimes for an entire day
after all sensitiveness had disappear
ed from the nervous centres. These
died themselves after different peri.
DDS of resistance, the more highly or
ganized ones in the surface of the
brain losing power long before the
deeper seated ones.
The professor hopes to formulate
from his observations important theo-
ries as to the essential nature Of life
and the causes Of death. He thinks
they may help physicians to find
means Of preventing death in cases
where the general tissues Of the body
have not lost vitality and where the
danger arises from injury or organic
lesion or a condition of disease which
can be eradicated if life can be main.

Of the. Well-Inforned Of tho World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

PLANS U. S. ARMY OF 100000.
War Department Would Analga-
mate the Regulars and Militia.

The War Department has perfected
q plan for the virtual amalgamation Of
10000 men, comprising all the regular
and national guard troops in the United
States, into an army ready to answer
the call of the President. Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver has given out
this information.
The War Department plan means
nothing more nor less than that the
moment this country gets into trouble
the so-callef nahocal guard organiza-
tons will cease to exist as such and
Immediately become units of the regular
army absolutely under the control of
the President and the Secretary Of War.
This scheme said Mr.. Oliver, sis
the first move in the plan to make this
country military power. Before this
we have had no authority over the
State troops, better known, perhaps, as
militia and national guard organiza-
tons. What we propose to do is to or
ganize these State troops and all the
| regular forces into eight army corps,
and the New England States, New York
and other States in the military diyi-
sion known as the Department of the
East will constitute the first army
corps. AS at present planned the War
Department will be able to- put into the
field almost Immediately an army of
100000 men. Part will be perfectly
trained and the efficiency of the rest
will be so increased that they will form
smooth working force"

How 10 Deal with anarchy.

That the policy of severe punishment of
avowed anarchists and the making of
martyrs of them will only feed the men
tai alteration which results in anarchy
is the position taken by Walter 2. Nc
CURE in a thoughtful article for the June
Van Norden's Magazine. He asks if it
is not possible for the government to as
sumo a sympathetic attitude toward this
unfortunate class and insists that the
progress made by the anarchists is due
largely to the neglect of the problems of
the poor by those who have intelligence
and time enough to study them He pro-
poses that men be sent among the poor to
preach that 'where law ends tyranny be-
gias'' and that the theories of the anarch-
list are self-contradictory. Besides, much
of the anarchist susceptibility is attribut-
ed to the brutal methods of the city police
in handling the poor people of the slums.
