the cleat against which he was rest

over the edge Of the roof. To avoid
spiked iron railing below he made
desperate Jump into space An ex-
press train was rushing by. and the
man landed on the roof Of q car. His
outdung hands found and clutched q
venttl4tor chimney. He was carried
on -four miles to the next station and
descended unhurt
More tragic was the occurrence on q
Rocky mountain railroad Four en-
ployees of the Great Northern were
speeding down a precipitous grade on
a hand car at thirty miles an hour
when a special train confronted them
around curve. There was no avoid
ance OF a collision. Two of the men
Jumped to death on the rocks below.
The others stuck to the car, and one
was crushed by the wheels Of the ad-
vancing Engine. but the other man
was tossed uninjured into a clump of
bushes which grew on projecting
rock twenty feet below the edge of
the Cliff. 1t was the only safe place
whore he could have fallen.

American ambassador, in fulillment of
his letter to President Roosevelt last
September, in which he said that he
would ask leave to resign early next
summer, has now fixed the date at
June 1 and has so informed the presi-
dent. Mr.. Tower gave legal notice
last October to the owner of his resi-
dence here that he would give up his
house on May 1 and it has been ad-
vertised for rent. The occupancy of
this building is now under discussion
as suitable for the Japanese embassy
