tress, shows you forgive me for the
killing of the Englishman. your hus
band, the one who murdered An
tonic in the duel" and the flickering
light revealing Barnes face, he ex-
claims: THE American who saw your
brother slain. All, now you agree with
me this accursed Anstruther's death
was just"
THANK God, you didn't murder
him!" cries the girl. Your stiletto en-
tered the heart of Musso Danella, who
deserved death for his lies"
II killed poor Musso Danella?"
stammers the old Corsican. Then he
mutters as If he can't believe: mo,
no, l heard his groan as l struck
through the curtains"
"'Twas the groan of Musso Dan
ella" answers Marina. THAT you
killed the right man proves my hus-
band innocent. Twas the hand of God
directed you" The girls voice is very
reverent.
Then If it was the hand of God,
Danellas death is sure proof your
husband killed not Antonio" says To-
masso solemnly, making the sign OF
the cross; but again breaks forth:

both you and me made us believe this

But" interjects Barnes, while
you jabber here, your darling mistress

'Oh, my heart is warm enough with
Joy at seeing Tomasso live to make
me forget the icy wind" and the en-
thusiastic girl kisses the rugged face
of her old servftor.

American, and half drags Marina into

Carpenters Limb, Crushed Out q
Shape, Made Nearly Whole.

Oakland, Cal.-To piece together
the bones and flesh of mans leg and
foot after they have been mangled be-
meath the wheels of freight car is
the unique experiment being made by
Drs. Hamlin, Smith and Reinle, who
were called TO attend John Wright. a
carpenter after he had been run over
by train. Two wheels of box car
passed over Wright, crushing his right
leg between the ankle and the knee
and smashing his right foot from the
arch to the toes.
Wright is 40 years of age and re-
sides at 1866 Thirteenth avenue. He
was injured while walking from Mel
rose toward Oakland. He had taken
the wrong train from the Mole and
was walking back to East Oakland
A box car. which had been shunted
down a switch, struck him, knocked
him down and both front trucks ran
over him
The injured man protested against
the amputation of his leg and foot
claiming that If he lost them he would
no longer be able to follow his trade

EFFECTS OF THE FOG.
Even Blind Men Lose Their Way
The Ground sounds Different"

Nothing has such bewildering ef-
feet as fog. Only animals which fin.
their way by scent can get about In
1t with any certainty, says Chums.
Birds are entirely confused by it.
Tame pigeons remain all day motion
less and nalf-asleep, huddled up. eth
er in or just outside their houses.
Chickens remain motionless for hours
during heavy fogs No bird sings or
utters a call, perhaps because it fears
to betray its whereabouts to an I'M
seen foe. During one very thick fog
blind man was found wandering
about a certain district of London,
This man was in the habit of carrying
rotes and parcels, and had scarcely
ever lost his way before. Asked why
he had gone astray, for he was quite
blind, and it was supposed that wealth
er would have made no difference. he
said that in fog the ground sounded
quite differently"

POLAR FLOW CAUGHT

and electricity are now conceded to be
the fundamental principle of all life
on this planet. The relation between
electricity and magnetism can be de-
fined by saying that electricity is mag
netism concentrated. and magnetism
Is electricity diffused.
While the Bachelet invention at
present is useful principally for the
cure of various diseases, 1t is stated
that the application of the method TO
catch and utilize he magnetic polar
waves will eventually open up vast
field for other scientific study.
In the North American Journal OF
Homeopathy for January DR.. Theodore
G. Virgins, prominent Brooklyn
physician, published an interesting
article of the Bachelet invention, and
gave instances of cures that have been
made by 1t.
DIR. Bachelet is in Washington fol

old to learn a new one. Drs. A. G.
Smith and George G. Reinle decided
to experiment and see If the injured
member could be saved. They called
in DIR. o. D. Hamlin, chief surgeon at
the Emergency hospital, and the three
surgeons are handling the case.
The shattered pieces of bone were
taken by the surgeons and placed in
the position where they had been be-
fore the accident. After each vestige
of the bone was in its proper place
the mangled leg and the crushed foot
were inclosed in splints. BY artificial
means circulation was restored be-

shattered bones will ultimately heal
together and Wright will be saved the
use of his leg and foot, although they
will necessarily be weaker than for

derful development of electricity and
its application to commercial and
curative uses, investigators have
sought to discover and apply the
waves that connect the poles with an
invisible and never ending stream OF

That this has been done is the be-

scientist, recently from Europe, and
now in Washington, claims to have

That the claims of Bachelet are in

Duration of Animal Life.

A great variance as to length of life
appears among different animals.
Some insects live only for few hours,
while FISH, elephants and turtles are
frequently centenarians. The average
life OF the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the age of about
10 years, while carp have been known
to reach hundred and fifty. Chickens
live from II to Is years; dogs to the
age of 10 and occasionally 10, and par
rots to extreme age. These birds have
been known to pass the age of 200
years. Turtles are also frequently cen
tenariaus, as are storks, and elephants
are said to reach the age of 800 years.

hermit, who has so accurately fore
told the weather conditions that work
men on the Midland Valley railroad
regard him with superstitious awe.
Three times he has predicted foods In
the Canadian river and every time his
predictions were accurate.
While workmen were completing .
new bridge to replace one washed

bridge workers silently. Then he
spoke to the foreman of the gang
You see little water in the river
bed now" he said; "but in thirty days
the floods will come and the bridge
will be carried away"
Exactly 80 days later the flood came
and the railroad bridge was swept
away. The bridge was rebuilt twice
and twice washed away on the exact
dies predicted by the hermit.
Undaunted, the company again re-
built the structure, completing 1t on
December g. and the hermit prophe-
sled that no trains would go over it
until December is. This prophecy also
proved true.
