SCHOOLS ARE NOT TO
Be NEGLECTED NOW
Close inspection Being Made
Of Chicago Buildings.

Chicago, ILL.,, March IA close in
vestigation Of the Chicago schools will
be made by a committee which has
been appointed to examine the fire es-
capes, stairways and exits, test the
efficiency Of the fire drills and to in
vestigate violations of the city fire
ordinances that may be found. The
school house horror at Collinwood,
Ohio. had a peculiarly vivid interest
for Chicago people because of the Iro-
quois theater disaster which in this
generation will never be forgotten by
Chicago people. The investigations
are in accordance with recommends
lions Of the secretary of the Illinois
state board of health, who, in all the
country was one of the first to ad-
wise all local authorities to visit and
inspect school houses and to see that
provisions we're made for the safety OF
the children. Similar Investigations
are being made all over the country,
and in most cases are necessary. Ey-
en- under the rules of the various city
bureaus, it has been discovered that
many of the Chicago school buildings
are not at present duly protected, and
in smaller cities and in rural districts
the danger, il is believed, is cores
pondingly greater as the ordinary in
spectiOn is less.

cage of 11,,O8O.6O.
SYSTEM is PROGRESSIVE.
MANY THOUSAND MILES HAVE
BEEN ADDED IN THE PAST SEW
ERAL YEARS. INDIANA HAS
THE THIRD LARGEST MILEAGE.

Philadelphia, March 14.-An idea of
the extent Of the Pennsylvania rail
road system may be obtained from fig
ures in annual Record of Transpor-
tation Lines" just compiled by the
maintenance of way departments of
the systems. These figures show a to-
tai mileage of 11,0S0.60, of which c.
154.63 is the amount east of Pittsburg
and Erie, and 4,92597 west Of Pitts
burg.
The lines penetrate thirteen States
and the District of Columbia, the great
est mileage being in Pennsylvania,
where the system has 4.061.4S miles of
line. Ohio is second with 1,S3t13
miles and Indiana is third with
1.541S2 miles There are S23.06 miles
of line in New York, and 1913 miles
in New Jersey. Illinois has 635.24
miles; Maryland, 552.70: Michigan,
1885, and Delaware, 274.05 miles In
the District of Columbia and each of
the States of Kentucky, Missouri, Viz
ginia and West Virginia-termini of
different portions OF the systematic
mileage is less than 100
The total trackage of the system
amounts to 23,572 miles, 1878 east of
Pittsburg. and a,7S41o west OF that
point. The development Of the sys-
tenn to meet the requirements of COM
merce, in recent years is to be seen in
the fact that while the mileage has
increased only 51S.15 since December
81. 1903. the total trackage has in
creased 1927 miles. The system at
the present time has 3,241s0 miles OF

TERRIBLE MONSTERS
They Fought for the Body of a
Girl Who Came to Life
Again.
IT is AN UNUSUAL STORY,

Paris, March 14-Comte de Lar
mandie, a we'll known scientist, is re-
Sponsible for the remarkable story
told of the apparent revival of a girl
three hours dead. He said: "A young
girl apparently died from natural
causes, and the physicians with the
consent of the family secured the body
few hours after the death After
three hours treatment the girl opened
her eyes. Further stimulated, she was
able to speak. When l fell asleep at
the hospital said she, there was an
indefinite period of complete prostra-
ton, and then l became conscious OF a
growing sensation of cold. Suddenly
there was a delicate shock. The last
tie uniting me and my body was brok-
en-. At the same instant, as though
gifted with new sight, l witnessed a
terrible spectacle. Ny body was the
theater of terrific struggle, nameless
monsters fighting for its possession.
At this juncture the girl became hys-
terical and savagely attacked the
physicians. To quiet her, one OF them
gave her an injection Of morphine
The dose was overstrong and her
heart-action ceased. Efforts were con
tinued throughout the night and most
Of the next day to recall her again tc
life, but they were Intellectual. l was
not present during the experiment,

! clans are men OF undoubted integrity
The only rational explanation is that

HOPE TO HARNESS
GREAT MISSISSIPPI
Realization Plans of Water
ways Commission a New
Source of Revenue.
UNUSED WATER POWER.
This Is Estimated at an Enormous
Fisure-PIan Calls for construc-
ton of Many Monster Dams.

Chicago, March IA new source OF
revenue to Uncle Sam that may event
ually run into millions of dollars an
nually. is part OF the latest plans of
the International Waterways commits
sion. This is the utilization of the
immense water power that will be de
velOped by the construction of dams
in the Mississippi and other rivers in
connection with the proposed govern
ment waterway projects. The annual
the United States at present is placed
by experts at the enormous figure of
nearly 200O.6D.O0o or more than
the annual value of all the mines in
the country, including coal and iron as
well as the precious metals. 1t al
ready has dams at the headwaters of
the Mississippi and elsewhere, but few
of them are now utilized. The deVel-
opment of the great internal river pro
jects, which President Roosevelt urg-
ed in his last message, will call for the
construction of dams which will pro
duce hundreds of thousands of horse
power as an incident to making the
rivers greater highways of commerce.
A way is thus opened for Uncle Sam to
take u hand in the exploitation of ma
tional resources. Whether this water
power will be leased or used direct has
not yet been determined, but in either
case it will provide revenue which
should go far to take care of the up
keep of the canals and river channels
when once these are completed.

HUNGRY SHARKS
TOOK PITY ON HIM.
Veracious Tar Who Fell Over.
board Made Such Motions Some
Of Them Fled.

With a cargo of Oriental curios
and stirring tale OF battle for life
with nineteen man eating sharks
count 'em, nineteen-the Lawhill. a
four masted British schooner, under
Captain Jarvin, arrived in New York
Harbor from Hong Kong and other
Eastern ports, having crossed five
oceans on the way.
It was on March IL that the shark
episode occurred, according 20 this
same crew. The Lawhill was in the
South Atlantic, running free in the
wind, when Jacob Miller, an able sea-
man, was sent aloft. A few minutes
later he missed his footing and fell
overheard. For several days a school
of man eating sharks, the number of
which all the members Of the crew
place at nineteen. had been following
the ship, hoping for just such an ac-
cident.
Miller fell right among them. He
let ont a cry for help, but it was i'm
possible 10 stop the schooner in the
spanking wind, so a life belt was
thrown to him. He contrived 10 get
1t around him and made such mo-
tions that he scared some Of the
sharks so that they ran away, while
the others just stood by and watched
his maneuvers.
Meantime the schooner had swung
along until she was two miles away
before she was hove to. A boat was
lowered with six seamen in it TO go
10 Miller's rescue, and instantly they
found themselves surrounded by an
other class OF the shark school.
Another lively battle followed with
the man eaters and several times the
boat was nearly capszed. One OF
the sailors tried to beat off the sharks
with a huge boathook, but gave that
up when one of the sharks got the
hook and made a meal of it. Event
ually, however, the boat got free and
pulled for Miller, who was found still
soaring off his sharks, but unhurt and
fairly comfortable in the circum-
stances. He was picked up, taken
back to the schooner and the voyage
was resumed.
