Iraps In French.

A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning
III similar phrases. For example,
"faire feu" NEAR to fire a gun, while
"faire du feu" means to light a fire;
"tomber par terre" conveys the idea
of falling to the ground from ones
W height. whereas "tomber a terre"
means to fall from any height-in
other words. to tumble down and to
tumble off. In the same way "t-aiter
de fat means to call a man Il Cop
and ''traiter en- roi" to treat him like
a king. The English word "bore'
may be expressed in two ways-'un
raseur" gives the idea Of an active
bore and tune bassinoire" Of a pas
sive bore.-London Saturday Review.

Indian Landmarks In Ohio Woods,

ZIG No III OflIO tVoOOSs
In the vicinity of Defiance can be
found trees that many would think
freaks of nature. Such they are in q
way, but they are created by the hand
of man.
According to the stories of some of
the old timers. these trees are much
older than the present generation has
any idea of and at one time served as
Indian guideposts. 1t is said that in
the early days. when the Maumee val
ley was one vast woods. the Indians
bent these saplings to indicate certain
paths. The trees because of their de-
formity grew slowly and. although
they are many years old. never attain
ed the size of their brethren in the for
ests. Similar trees exist near Fort
Wayne.-Toledo Blade.

v7HE KOOTENAY DISTRICT first ca me
into prominence about 1898, the period of
the great Rosslard mining boom. Since
then it's development in both the mining and
numbering industries has been very rapid but it
is only of comparatively recent years that the
Fruit Industry iii Kootenay has assumed large
proportions. Ten or a dozen years ago most of
the residents in this district were of the opin-
ion that fruit could not be successfully grown in
Kootenay and yet we find that it is fast becom-
ing one of its most important industries while
the doubling Thomases of yesterday are the en-
thusiastic, successful growers of today. 1t is
ever so. You have to make a determined try
before you can really find out what can be done.
In the prairie provinces they are growing bump
er crops of No. 1 hard wheat, where only a de-
cade ago a prominent Canadian politician said
that only buffalo should tread and that no white
population would ever remain here. Everyone
familiar with the development of Western Can
ada knows what is being done today.
We do not, however, wish you take our state
1nent, alone, with regard to the possibilities of
Koote1lay. We propose to assemble a few facts
and figures which speak for themselves.

Former County Ordinary

hopes he is not ont of order in writing

state in which they have discovered the error
Of their way and defects in the law. There

honestly believes he is forced to work the pun

$4,000 VERDICT FOR
NURSES LOST LEGS
New York Iimes.


With tears in her eyes Miss Addie M.
Hunt a trained nurse, thanked each of
the twelve jurors yesterday as they filed
out of the courtroom after they had re-
turned a verdict in her favor for $5S.0OO
against the Long Island Railroad COM
pany.
About two years ago Miss Hunt was
boarding a train at the Great Neck sta
ton of the company and had barely got
on the footboard when the train began to
move out and she slipped to the track.
Before the train could be stopped several
of it's wheels had passed oevr her legs,
and both had to be amputated.
The case was tried about four months
ago. and a jury before Justice Hendrick
awarded SOS, 900 damages to Miss Hunt.
The court set the verdict aside on the I'M
usual ground that it was inadequate.
The second trial. which was before Just
tice Brady and jury, finished yesterday
after lasting a week. Ex-Judge William
N. Cohen appeared for Miss Hunt, while
Col Beecher was counsel for the railroad
company.
Miss Hunt who can walk with the aid
of crutches, gave a clear account of the
accident and gained the sympathy of all
as she told how, despite suffering excru-
ciating agony, she remained conscious
from the moment the accident occurred
until she was put under ether some hours
later on the operating table at the Flush
ing hospital.
The verdict is one OF the largest given
in an accident case for a long time. Miss
Hunt was the recipient of many congratu-
lations, including that of Col. Beecher,
who, however, told her that he was afraid
1t was only the beginning Of her troubles,
for, he said, the verdict will be appealed.
But" he added by way of consola-
ton, IF you are successful in the end you
will get interest on the money"
Among the witnesses for Miss Hunt
were Raymond Hitchcock and his wife,
Flora Zabelle, both Of whom witnessed
the accident.

ITALY IS STRICKEN
BY PELLAGRA EPIDEMIC

WASHINGTON, July 24.-In a view of
reports of pellagra in some parts of the
south, and the Investigations which have
followed, a report just issued by the pub
lie health and marine hospital service
bearing upon the spread of the disease in
Italy is of special interest as showing
the methods that country is following to
stamp out the contagion. .A
Deteriorated maize and corn smut are
regarded as the special etiologic factors
in producing the specific poisons Pella-
grins in Italy. it is stated, number about
fifty thousand, and during 1906 and 1907
the disease was the cause OF 1878 deaths
and 1898 cases of insanity.
A movement is now on foot to combat
the present evils by establishing muni-
al milling service In communities ar
hicted with pellagra, and to make I'M
lawful the milling Of deteriOrated maize.
Already the italian government has
given financial aid toward operation of
curative institutions for the care and
treatment Of pellagrins and also for i'm
proved agricultural processes.

NEW RECORD MADE
BY ORWLLE WRIGHT
Daring Aeronaut Stays in Air for
Twenty Minutes and Thirty
Seconds and Makes Successful
Landing at Fort Myer.

WASHINGTON, July 24-With the
avowed intention of carrying a passen-
ger today the Wright aeropiane was
made ready for flight at few min
utes before Z O'Clock. The strong wind
which blew across the parade ground at
Fort Myer all day prevented any at
tempt before that late hour.
Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm, OF the signal
service, was to be the passenger for the
day and he was at the starting point
ready to take his seat. AT the last mo-
ment Orville Wright determined TO make
a preliminary flight by himself and start
ed Off Whether this change of plan
was due to the presence of moving pic
ture man on the scene or because at
the last flight, two days ago, the motor
had been speeded up several miles an
hour over its former performances and
he wanted to be sure of its proper work
ing, could not be determined tonight.
The fact is that Orville started on
alone at 6:55:4O and made beautiful as
cension. The moving picture man was
busy at work getting the start and
after the first round he was given an
unusual opportunity to record with his
camera some fancy flying.
MAKES SHORT CIRCLES.
Keeping close to the ground Orville
circles, smaller than any ever attempt
ed by a flying machine of the size One
complete circle was made in "A seconds
and another in AZ seconds. To the OBJ
server it looked almost as though the
machine was turning within its radius
and all the. time It was tilted at what
seemed to be an impossible angle with
out overturning.
The moving picture camera was hard
at work during the performances and II
Is supposed got a good impression, as
the photographers say.
After this Orville widened his circles
and at the same time lifted the ma
chine to higher level, as high as $50
feet at one time. He made many rounds
of the field covering his usual course
of about four-fifths of a mile On an
average of IS seconds, and proving con-
clusively the increase. of speed already
mentioned The faster gait was easily
perceptible to the eye and without any
wind to aid him it is the general opin-
ion that Orville made over so miles an
hour this afternoon.
When he had completed his twenty
fourth round, Wilbur waved his hat and
OrYiIle began to descend. He passed
his starting point, drove to the lower
end of the field and on the back track
along the Arlington cemetery side, stop
ped the motor and swooped downward.
RUNNER is CRACKED.
Unfortunately the left runner fell into
a ruT or slid alongside a stone embedded
in the earth. This caused the aero
plane to slew sideways and its impris-
oned runner was cracked just at the
bend. It was then just 7:16:1O. making
20 minutes, 80 seconds for the flight.
Both Orville and Wilbur made hasty
departure from the field after the fight.
1t is expected that one of the official
tests will take place Monday. There
will be no fight tomorrow.
