BROWNS AMID APPLAUSE.
Moving Picture Models "ReaIistic
Pose" Was Genuine.

PARIS, July Tt is not often that
one hears of the death of a model for
cinematograph pictures while posing
for the incidents depicted on the cen
vases. The other day crowd on the
Seine watched the performance of a
young acrobat and applauded his re-
alistic pose as a drowning man. Late"
they discovered their mistake.
He was engaged to fall into the
Seine ana pretend to drown after =
fierce struggle for life. He accord
ingly tumbled into the river, and, on
coming to the surface, splashed and
threw his arms about in such real
istnc fashion that the operator on the
bank encouraging1y shouted to him
"Bravo! Keep 1t upl Splendid"
The crowd about the operator, TAX
ing in the situation. also cheered the
model struggling in the water. A
steamboat loaded with passengers
stopped to watch the scene. After
few minutes the man in the water
threw up his arms in a last frantic
and disappeared. MurInure
of admiration at his acting were heard
and all made ready to applaud the
performer upon his temperance. 1t
was many minutes before the people
became suspicious of the mans con-
tinued stay under the water. His body
was recovered half an hour later, and
Il is believed he had been seized with
/ cramp.

afternoon first oEe and then another
would pretend he was drowning and
would cry to his companions for help.
This was great fun for while.
Thus it happened that when Walker
Stuart of No. 256 West Seventeenth
street and Louis Payne, of No. 24S
were seized with cramps while out
near the middle OF the river. Harry
Mcdonald, of No 81 West fifteenth
street, and Robert Russell, of No. 244
West Seventeenth street, who were
standing on the bank made no effort
to go to their assistance.
Help! Help" cried Stuart and
Payne.
"You can't fool u.s." said the two
boys on the bank.
Again the cries for help came, weak
er than before. Then the two went

ZEPPELIN POLAR PROJECT.

Journey.

Believed His Airship Can Make the
Journey.
BERLIN, July THE proposal to
reach the north pole In "a Zeppelin
airship is regarded as feasible by
Eric Won Drygalski, the we'll known
geographer and polar explorer, who
says that the accomplishment of tie
project lies within the radius of &C.
ton which Count Zeppelin already
has demonstrated as possible for his
craft.
The dangerous and severe Arctic
storms must be reckoned with, al
though these are not so threatening
in summer, and another condition to
be taken into consideration is the rays
of the sun, which develop great
strength in the summer time and are
continuous. Herr Won Drygalsh re.
CARDS the geographic and scientific
aims of the expedition as fully JUS
tifying the venture and the expense
entailed.
Professor Penck, director of the
Oceanographic Museum, explained to-
day that the distance from Spitzber
gen to the north pole is about equal
to that from Friedrichshafen to Koe
nigsburg, and he takes IN optimistic
view of the probabilities of success.
Prof. H. Hergesell, of the Univer-
sity of Strasburg, has turned over to
Emperor William complete plans for
the proposed Zeppelin trip to the
north pole. He explained the idea
also to the Prince of Monaco, who
probably will give financial assista re.
The professor recently has been en-
gagged in carrying out geographic ani
oceanic research work of the Prince
of Monaco in Scandinavian waters.

All Consumers Asked to Give Opin-

Early in January.

The Commissioners would like to see
every fousekeeper that can crowd into

come to the bread law hearing to be held
some time after January I.
The weight of a loaf of bread and the
conditions surrounding the sale and bak-
ing of bread have not been formulated
into set of standards by the Commits
sioners. although judging from one or two
letters received recently at the District
building the impression seems to have
gone abroad that the Commissioners have
taken some such action.
At the recent hearing on the proposed
bread law no one appeared to champion

the we ght of loaves and arranging to
make it legal to sell loaves in halves.
three-quarters, doubles, etc, up to sex

the Commissioners that the trade object

very clear reasons, but there was

hearing, despite the fact that several

Escared.

NORFOLK. Va. December 27.vThim-
BILE shoal lighthouse in lower Chesapeake
bay was burned early today. While de-
tails are meager. the keeper of the lisb,

one of several tugs or relief boats that
hurried from hampton roads to the res
cue. The cause of the fire is unknown.
