DROWNED PERSONS.
Absence Of Water In the Lungs Need
Not Indicate Murder.

Several cases have been reported in
the newspapers recently in which the
absence of water in the lungs of per-
sons found Immersed In ponds and
rivers has led to the conclusion that
death had occurred before immersion
and that the crime was therefore muir
der and not suicide. AS the matter
is Of great criminal Importance, per-
NIT me to call attention briefly to the
report in 1862 of committee appoint
ed by the Royal Medical and Chirur-
glcal society of London to investigate
this question. 1t was well known
fact that in most drowned persons
water was not found In the lungs, and
1t was supposed by many that in
drowning a Epasmodlc contraction of
the entrance of the windpipe took place,
which prevented the entrance of wa
ter. The committee made very care
ful and prolonged investigation and
came to conclusions which | sum-
marize as follows:
First.-Water does enter the lungs in
drowning. In animals drowned by
immersion in water the lungs, If exam
ined Immediately afterward, are full
of water. If a dog be drowned in
plaster of paris the plaster Is found
In the smallest tubes. In guinea pig
whose nose only has been immersed
in mercury the globules of mercury
penetrate the finer tubes.
Second.-If the examination be de-
layed for several hours or longer, as
Is generally the case. no water may
be found in the lungs, absorption hav-
Ing taken place even after death. In
experiments upon animals it was
found that forty or fifty ounces Of
water could be introduced into the
lungs without any of the liquid being
detected there an hour or two after
ing in human beings, when the exam
nation was delayed for several hours
after death, fragments of water plants
and other foreign substances may be
found in the windpipe and larger
tubes without any water being de-
tected in the tissue of the lungs. Alb
sorptlon of water takes place In the
lungs even after death, and therefore
the absence of water in the lungs
many hours after death has no bear
ing upon the question of murder or
suicide. 1t is very important that this
fact should be generally known.-A.

A SECRET DIvULGED.
Whereby Hint Is Given to Wives and
Warning to Husbands.

"Oh, dear" sighed the pretty caller
aa she viewed her friends new bon
net, fresh from the store, Il wish my
husband would allow me to buy such
a love of a bonnet!'
He would, my dear, If you knew
how to handle him." answered the lady
Of the house.
No; 1t is Il waste Of words to try
to talk with him." said the pretty
caller. with another sigh. Il saw a
dream of bonnet downtown the 9TH
er day. and the price was just what
you say You gave for yours-S25. But
when ! mentioned the price my hus-
band flew into rage and declared
that $40 was every cent that he would
advance me TO buy bonnet with and
If couldn't make that do | would
have to do without"
>"Exactly," commented the lady of
the house dryly. You can't expect
any other treatment when you ap-
proach your husband like that. My
husband acts just the same way when
ever | ask him for money. But this
creature called man Is very easily
handled If you go about it in the right
way Now, when | saw this bonnet
downtown | made up my mind that
would be the happy possessor Of 1t, so
that night at the dinner table began
going into raptures over bonnet that
had seen while shopping, the price of
which was only $50, and then added
as an afterthought that | had quite
made up my mind to buy it.
What! roared my husband. Fifty
dollars for a bonnet? | guess not!
You'll have to put up with $25, and
not cent more do you getp

that wanted | am afraid that the
tears | shed were somewhat forced.

Unique Straw Hat.

The proprietor of a fashionable cafe
at Marienbad is the possessor Of a
straw hat which he values at $1,000.
The hat is not costly variety of pan
anna, but is rather rough looking
straw hat. Yet it is the pride of the
proprietor's life because 1t Is woven
of straws through which the crowned
heads of Europe have at various times
sucked cooling drinks dispensed In the
owners establishment. For many
years this king worshiper had been
collecting straws from the royal lips,
scorning mere mobiles or statesmen.
When the collection was large enough
the hat was manufactured.

four cavalry regiments Of the Berlin
garrison. Arrived at point where the
Spree is very wide, the guardsmen, as
sisted by dozen pioneers, constructed
in forty minutes bridge of steel boats
and plates 10S feet long and ten feet

was the first to try 1t, riding twice
across. Then loaded baggage wagon

Proceedings.

There was a pretty exhibition of

acting as Iapidary in shaping the cut

High Sheriff William Henry had adj
vertised sale of land by execution,
in the case of City Mill Co. against
Akana, the judgment being for 1919.
The sale was to take place at the
front of the Capitol at u noon.
An hour before the time C. W. Ash
ford rushed into Judge De Bolt s court
and procured stay of sale until fur
ther order of the court, on the ground
that tlM execution was levied on real
estate when there was enough personal
property to satisfy the judgment. Ten
precious minutes elapsed before the
staying order had been fled, but it
was served on the high sheriff in time
to blanket the sale.
Mr.. Ashford had, however, reckoned
without his host Before the ink was
dry on the return of service J. Alfred
Magoon, out of breath, appeared at
the wicket of the clerk s Office of the
Judiciary, where he almost shrieked
a request for returns on former exeeu-
tions against Akana which showed no
personal property wherein to leyy.
Whether he secured this evidence or
not does not matter, as he had a
stronger card up his sleeve. Plunging
down the corridor he had Judge De
Bolt again on the bench. Mr.. Ashford
had scented trouble and was also in
the arena.
There was short wrangle and then
the judge set aside his order of fifty
FIVE minutes before, on the ground
shown that Mr. Ashford had neglected
to file the necessary indemnity bond
for stay.
Perhaps few minutes late, yet High
Sheriff Henry held the sale, disposing
of lot containing 1850 square feet,
on the east side of River street, to
c. K. Al, president of the plaintiff com
pany, for $500 and subject to two
mortgages.
