DEAD FROM LACK OF SLEEP
Russian Lives Six Years After Frao
turing Skull In Railroad
Accident.

st. Petersburg.-A puzzle to ply
sicians was M. Petronovitch, a lawyer
who died a few days ago at Nikolsk
Ussurisk. M. Petronovitch had hardly
enjoyed a wink of sleep since he frao
tured his skull six years ago in q
train collision.
For some weeks he was at the
brink Of death, but his strong constt
tuition triumphed and he recovered
and was discharged as cured from thu
hospital. A curious phenomenon then
manifested itself. He found he could
not sleep, but that did not worry
him, as he did not feel the need of It
After while, however, he began
to be uneasy under the strain of thii
unbroken wakefulness. The strongest
soporif1cs had no effect on him. They
made him Ill but did not bring sleep
For weeks at time he never CLOSED
his eyes. Then he would drop of into
light doze of two or three hours
duration and wake apparently re
freshed.
This lasted some years and then b,
began to complain of intense fatigue
the only remedy for which, he dis
covered, was vigorous massage o
the head. As he was fairly well to d.
he could afford to consult several emf
nent specialists, but his case baffle(
them all. After his death his skull
and brain were dissected, but the sur
geons could ind nothing to explain hi

PLANS AMERICAN AIR LINE
Capt. Baldwin Says Aeroplane Service
Between New York and Chicago
Is Practicable.

Mineola, L. Count Zeppelin's feat
OF inaugurating a passenger-carrvina
airshtp line may soon be duplicated In
the United States, If the hopes Of
Capt. Thomas 8. Baldwin, who built
the United States army dirigible No
I, are fulfilled. Given the necessary
capital, Captain Baldwin is confident
that fleet Of dirigibles could be put
into commission within three months
to travel on a regular schedule be
tween New York and Chicago.
TN spite Of Zeppenn's success" said
Captain Baldwin, II still pin my faith
to the nonrigid type. BY this, mean
the balloon type made of rubber silk
instead of an aluminium envelope, with
many compartments. The bag meas
uring $50 feet would hold $4,000 cubic
feet of hydrogen gas in three compart
ments.
Personally, I think the first dir1g
ible to make the trip will be the small
est in the world ever built for endur
ance work. In my opinion this craft
will not be over $50 feet long and will
be driven by a 50-horse power engine
with such ship could transport
six persons and their baggage from
New York to Chicago in 80 hours, and
would be able to navigate in winds
up to 30 miles an hour with perfect
safety. A craft of this kind would
not exceed in cost $4,000, against the
100000 which is the price of Yep
pelin."

Or less serious nature.
He was arrested and taken before
The juvenile court. There he was ex-

The court and his teeth found to be in

She gave SO to be used in fixing

not punish him, but would send him

he could work and If he were willing
to do so could save enough money to

Bejlovec went to the farm. The

offices Of the Children's Day associa-
tion In the Woman's Temple. When
It was opened five-dollar gold piece
rolled from the envelope. It was from

don of American cattle into England,
the city of London corporation has
big scheme on hand. It is proposed
TO construct a huge slaughter house

With the Metropolitan meat market at
Smithfeld.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars will be spent on the scheme, and
when they are completed the build.
lngs will constitute one of the finest
establishments Of their kind in the
world. They will be equipped with all
the latest appliances and are ex.
pected to create q revolution in the
Importation of cattle into this coun.
try.
The scheme is viewed with conster
aation by the railroad companies here.
who receive large proportion of their.
income from the carriage of frozen
meat from Liverpool and other ports
to London. Under the new scheme
cattle will be shipped direct to Lon.
don.
This scheme will have double ad.
vantage. The meat of foreign cattle
killed In London will fetch as high
price In the market as If the cattle
had been of English origin, while 1t
Will reduce enormously the necessity
tor consuming frozen meat.
There are already two great slaugh.
ter yards in this country-at Birken.
head and Deptford. near London-but
their capacity is not equal to the de.
mand which any considerable increase
In the importation of live American
cattle would make upon them.
