Wonderful Strength of Insects.
Hsrper's Weekly.

harper Q weekly.
Nothing ia more wonderful to in
vestig ators than the display of strength
OF insects compared with that OF man.
Ants will carry loads forty to fifty
times as heavy a. themselves. The
beetle can move q weight ll2 times his
own weight. The house fly gives 600
strokes Of its wings in one second, and
this enables 1t to 60 q distance OF IS
feet.
Probably the most wonderful of all
ts the dragon fly. 1t can speed
through the air At the rate OF sixty
miles An hour, and, more wonderful
still. can stop instsntaneously In its
flight or move backward or sideways
without changing the position of its
body.
Hundreds Of bees can hang one to
another without tearing away the feet
of the upper one.
1t has been estimated that II an
elephant were as strong in proportion
to Its weight as q male beetle in would
be able to overturn a skyscraper.
In leaping great distances this
strength Is shown in another phase.
If q horse could jump as far In pro.
portion to his weight as q flea q to
his, the horse would jump about 2,OO(
miles.

Pumps That Run Themselves.

In many Of the mines throughout the
west it is necessary to keep the water
pumped out of the different levels in
order to permit them being worked.
In the olden days it was necessary to
keep q man stationed at the pump to
turn on the steam power when the
water reached a certain level. Now
this Is done autom atically by cleo.
tricity. A float works the controlling
device and the instant the water
reaches q predetermined level it con.
meets the electricity with the motor
driven pump which Immediately starts,
and the water is forced out.

nothing is known as to Castro's inten-

YOUNG DEBTOR IN JAIL
JERSEY JUSTICE LOCKS UP A
TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY.
With Assets of Seventy-Five Cents
He Will Take Advantage of the
Bankruptcy Act.

NEW YORK, February 11.-Jersey JUS
tice has furnished the youngest inmate
of a debtors prison on record in the per-
son of Bronislaw Niemaszek, ten years
old, of 1886 West Kinney street, Newark.
He was locked up in the Newark jail yes
terday on a body execution issued by
Judge Benjamin F. Jones of the Orange
district court for debt of $685..
Duane E. Minard of Orange, attorney
for the Public Service railway. has inter-
ested himself in the case and says he will
spend any amount of money in fighting it.
He told the history of the case last night.
Several months ago, he said, young
Niemaszek and some other boys were
playing in the streets of Orange, when
Edmund Wilmanski, sixteen years old,
and several other big boys began teasing
the smaller one. Finally they grabbed
the youngster by the wrist. Mr.. Minard
! twisted his arm.
Struck Assailant in Back.
When NiemasZek got free he picked up
a missile and threw it at his tormentor.
Wilmanski was hit in the back and cut.
AS result his father brought suit against
tHe smaller BOY anu the dCtlOn was begun
with a warrant for assault. The damage
claimed was $500. The jury brought in a
verdict for $75 for the plaintiff, which,
with the costs attached. made the judg-
ment for $685..
Several weeks ago the attorney for the
plaintiff asked for body execution in
supplementary proceedings. Judge Jones,
to whom the petition was made. saiu he
tried in every way to get out of granting
the execution because of the boys age.
He made careful search to find some au-
thority by which he would have diScre-
tionary powers, and then he would have
refused to issue the execution, but he was
unsuccessful.
The boy was arrested late yesterday
afternoon and taken to the Newark Jail.
Goes Into Bankruptcy.
There was one way to get the boy out
of Jail. That was for him to take adj
vantage of the bankruptcy act and to give
bond for double the amount of the judg-
ment in the meantime. Mr.. Minard,
local attorney, became personal surety
for the boy. Last night the inventory OF
the boys assets and liabilities was pre-
ferred. Here 1t iS
