York. Neh.. Has a Flood.

Lincoln, July 5.--On the anniversary
of the worst flood In its history, a
year ago, Lincoln last night had an
other terrific downpour without how
ever, any loss of life and only minor
damage. The whole of southeast Ne
braska got drenching, and the town
of York, fifty miles west, is eXperien''
ing the worst food for nineteen years.
At that place five and half inches OF
rain fell In an hour and quarter
with steady downpour continuing
late in the night. This amount OF
water was unable to find an outlet ana
the streets were under two feet oil
water. The western part of the town
is almost drowned out. A fire alarm
was turned in in order to secure alo
for the people who had to leave their
homes for place of safety

Rural Carrier Buys Auto.

Clearwater, Neb., July Especial to
The News: Clay Babcock, rural car
rier on route No. /, out of Clearwater,
has made a deal for ten-horse power
automobile with which to make his
daily rounds of the mail boxes. Mr..
Babcock made a trial trip week or
two ago in a seven-horse power ma
chine and arrived home in four hours
instead of the customary eight hours
drive with a team.
The thirty miles were covered at
an expense of only about 30 cents for
gasoline which shows marked saw
ing over horse feed. If repair bills are
not too numerous the auto promises
to be great saving to rural car
riers, not only in feed bills but in
time, as with good auto the mail
carrier can get back home for dinner
and have the afternoons free Tor
other work.

Thrown from a Gravel Train,

Neigh, Neb., July Especial to The
News: The only accident to mar the
celebration on Saturday in this city
was that of Frank Belmer, who re.
sides in the extreme west part OF Ne.
ligh He attempted to get on an ex-
ira gravel train going west to the cell
ebration at Clearwater. He was seen
thrown from the fast moving train by
Ben Burton, who went to his assist
ance as soon as possible.
The young man was taken to hos
pital, where 1t was discovered that his
right foot was badly crushed and brok-
en-. The attending physician reports
that the small toe was entirely pealed
to the bone, and the instep also frac-
tured. 1t is the hope of the doctor to
save the foot If possible, but at this
time 1t is impossible to state what the
condition will be in the next twenty
four hours. 1t required twenty-one
stitches to get the mass of broken
bones and flesh together to resemble
the appearance Of human foot.

Electrical Discharge. From Plants.

The atmosphere surrounding our
earth is known to be electrified, and Its
charges are bound to play an impor-
tant part in many phenomena. Atmos-
pheric Identification thus is RESPONSE
BILE for the formation of rain and hail,
and. while fine weather generally Is
characterized by the presence of posi-
tive electricity. change In the wealth
er is generally accompanied BY
change in the sign of atmospheric cleo
tricity. That the electrification of the
air does exert some influence on plant
growth is inferred from the fact that
electrified plants, under the influence
of sunshine. can give off electricity
from the leaves. and as the air is nat
urally electrified relatively to the soil
all plants are bound to be In n constant
state Of slow electrical discharge which
is made active on the rising Of the sun

EuIer's Wonderful Memory,

Leonhard Euler. who was born In
1907 and died in 1888 at St Peters
burg. where he spent his life as a
teacher of great power and as pro-
life writer, was an instance Of the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject and the bulk of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then he carried in his memory
table of the first six powers Of the
"series of natural numbers up to 100."
1t is related that on one occasion
two Of Euler's students attempted to
calculate converging series. AS they
advanced they found they disagreed
In the result by unit in the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euler, who decided to make the calcu.
lation. He did this mentally. and his
result was found to be correct.-New

BABY SCHOOL FOR A CHURCH
Amuses Them With Playthinss While
Mothers Attend Service.

An excuse for not going to church
which has been valid for several gen.
erations among mothers of large fam
lilies, though its precise value in the
minds of pastors has been somewhat
vague, will no longer apply among the
mothers Of Calvary Methodist Episco-
pal church, at Seventh avenue and
One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street,
New York city, in the heart Of Har-
lem, where gocarts abound. The
church has established Sunday morn
ing kindergarten, to which children
more than two years old may be taken,
in house adjoining the church. It
is being provided with sand tables,
blocks and the other equipment Of a
kindergarten.
The announcement was recently
made in the bulletin Of the church,
and the mothers of ten children took
advantage of the offer The children
were all over four years old. and no
difficulty was found in amusing them.
A well known candy manufacturer
recently purchased the two houses 200
and 211 West One Hundred and TWEEN

vsnatian coffaa housas.

The first cup Of coffee was drunk in
Europe at Venice toward the end Of
the sixteenth century. The Venetian
chronicler Morosini In his records OF
the events in the year 1885 mentions
the beverage called "cavee" drunk by
the Turks and noted for its anti-sopo-
rife qualities. In the year 1891 a
Venetian doctor introduced the berries
from Egypt, taught bis countrymen
how to crush them and brew the bev-
erage, and the use of coffee soon be-
came general--so much 80, in fact, that
Venice was full of coffee houses where
the people idled away their days drink
ing the aromatic beverage. A pecul'
iarity Of the Venetian coffee houses
was that their patrons did not pay for
each cup of coffee they drank. but
settled their bills for all the coffee
consumed at the end OF each year.
The regular price Of q cup of coffee
was soldi. about 21s cents. and In
some Of the old cafes Of Venice today

a Oueer Fish.

In European fresh water Is to be
found a very large siluroid known as
the wells. Its head Is large, broad and
depressed, fully as long as the trunk
itself, while the tail is compressed
and longer than the head and trunk
together. The entire fish is destitute
Of scales and covered with a smooth,
slippery skin like an eel. The snout
Is very short. the mouth broad, with
the lower Jaw longer and very extern
sible. There are six barbels around
the mouth, two Of which. situated on
each side Of the upper jaw before the
eye. are very long. extending nearly
to the tail. The other four are much
shorter and arranged in pairs on the
chin. Owing to its poor eyesight and
sluggish movements the wells would
be badly handicapped in the race of
life II not for these barbels, especially
those OF the upper jaw, which can be
moved voluntarily In every direction.
In moving leisurely about the fish uses
them constantly in feeling Its way,
and at the same time they serve TO at
tract other fishes, which mistake them
for worms. When the wells perceives
Its prey close enough to be seized II
makes a dart and rarely fails to cap
ture it.--New York Tribune.

Tho Codmoppe.

Herrings are still eaten as much as

where is the codmoppe gone. and what
was 1t like when kings dined of It in

voy menu. More original still would
be the ''rostid perpes" Of Henry v.

Of the unrefned Saxon. the "porco ma
rino" Of the medieval ecclesiast. A
master coke gives an early receipt

seen that enterprise extended also to

Mrs. Schavland Sues.

Lincoln, July 5.-Suit for $4,000
damages was instituted in district
court by Corine B. Schavland, widow
of and Administrative of the estate of
Christopher Schavland, deceased,
against Fred w. Joers, Floyd r. Raw
lings and Frank Rawlins. The action
is brought on account of the death Of
the husband of the plaintiff, who was
killed on the night of May 16, last, at
the corner of Fourteenth and H
streets, by an automobile, alleged to
have been the property of defend
ants. Herman Bernecker and Bertha
Fritts were in the car at the time
and a charge of manslaughter in con-
nection with the killing is now pend
ing against them. Plaintiff in her
petition alleges that defendants kept
a livery or garage where automobiles
for the transportation of passengers
were kept for hire and that it was
their duty to have such machines in
good repair and condition. They had
at that time a machine which was not
in safe condition nor equipped with
proper appliances. They did not fur.
nish driver of experience, but an in
competent and immature youth, and
in the regular course Of business, on
the date in question. rented the faulty
machine, which killed Schavland. 1t
is further asserted that the car was
going at dangerous rate OF speed at
the time of the fatality and that 1t
was being driven on the wrong side of
the street. Deceased was AZ years of
age, a successful business man and
was earning $4,000 per year. He left
widow, aged A and three minor
children.

Old Whaling Law Applied TO TWICE
Caught Cod.
That etiquette is observed among
the fishermen that journey to the fish
ing banks was discovered by an ANA
teur angler on his first trip.
The amateur hooked a Goldfish. but
his line parted just as the fish was
above the water. Back fell the cod.
fish. carrying with him two sinkers
and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured a cod
with two sinkers and hook. The
amateur went up to the angler. who
appeared to be an old salt, and asked
for his hook and sinkers. which had
his name stamped on them. He was
surprised when the old salt told him
to take the fish also.
According to the rules generally fol-
lowed on the fishing boats. the second
angler was entitled to the fish, but the
hooks and sinkers should be returned
to their owner. The old angler ex-
planned why he wanted to give up the
fish.
1t seems that he had followed the
sea a great part of his life When a
young man he was whaler, and, ac-
cording to whaling law. dead whale
belongs to the ship whose name ap-
pears on the harpoon that killed 1t.
Therefore the old salt figured that the
amateur owned the Goldfish he had
taken.-New York Sun.
