boys and severely burned several of the
others. The lad. who lost his life was
Carl Baker, nine years old and his
mother, Mrs c. r. NJ Baker, is pros
trated with grief and may die.
The boys in the party were Leonard
King. Paul Potter. Carl Baker. George
Kettner, William Corcoran. Carl Stats,
Clifton Collins. James Woods and two
or three younger children of the
Heights, and Charles Macoboy of
Washington. who was visiting in the
neighborhood. The lads made pile of
rubbish near the residence of William
Corcoran. and about sundown set fire
to it. The fire did not burn brightly
enough to suit them, so one of the
boys obtained an old tin can and filled
1t half full of gasoline. He wet a
paper with it and threw it in the fire,
then poured a little gasoline on the
ground and lighted it. A moment later
the blaze communicated to the can of
gasoline. and some one in the crowd
kicked il.
Flames Envelop Him.
The result was an explosion and the
blazing fluid enveloped Carl Baker, set
ting fire to his clothing. Outcries sum-
moned the neighbors from all sides
Charles MacabOy caught hold of the
child and endeavored to throw him to
the ground but Carl broke away and
ran. He was caught by Mrs. Corcoran
Mrs. Collins and his mother who was
visiting nearby, and was wrapped in a
blanqet, which smothered the flames. Mr.
Corcoran, Mr.. Williams and others
brought oil and lime water and applied
Doth to the patient after the burned
clothing was removed. This relieved the
suffering somewhat and the boy was able
TO walk to his home, a quarter of a mile
away
Was Horribly Burned
DR. W. c. Welburn Of Ballston, who mad
been called by telephone responded
promptly and dressed the burns. He
found the flames had burned off the skin
over half the surface from the boys eyes
and ears to his knees. There was little
hope of recovery, though the boy seemed
to suffer but little till IL o'clock. AT
about that hour. however. he began to
moan and complained of feeling cold. DR..
NJ. Hunter, the family physician, was
called from Georgetown, but could do
little, except to relieve the pain. The boy
sank into stupor toward II o'clock and
about :, O'Clock death relieved Lis suffer
ings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker had lost five Or six
children previously and Earl was their on
ly one The shock of his death leaves
the home desolate and both parents are
grief stricken.

WIDOWS woo RICH RANCHER
Farmer Receives Wheelbarrow Load
of Letters from Unattached Who
Seek Mate.

Spokane, Wash.-The Wilson Creek
(Wash.) bachelor rancher, Edwin w.
Hyde, who won a homestead valued
at $4,000 in the drawing for Indian
lands in the Flathead reservation in
western Montana, is carrying his mail
home in a wheelbarrow these days,
and the local postmaster threatens to
resign because of overwork.
He is besieged by widows, spinsters
and romantic young women who are
eager for the position of housekeeper
on his new ranch. He has also re-
ceived half hundred proposals Of
marriage from women in New York,
Chicago, Boston and other large CEN
tiers.
He says the flood of letters was
started by the publication of his pho
tograph in eastern and western news
papers at the time of the drawing,
when the correspondents announced
that he needed only a helpmate to
make life complete.

ELEPHANT HAS TOOTH FILLED
Big Animal in Bronx Zoo Chained
Down while Keeper Fills Large
Cavity in Molar.


New York-Gunda, the big male
elephant at the Bronx ZOO has had
tooth filed. His keeper, William
Thumann, entered the cage alone and
persuaded Gunda to lie down. Then,
with the help of the keepers outside,
chains were thrown over his head and
finally he was pinned securely to the
floor of the cage.
Next his mouth was pried open and
wooden blocks were inserted to hold
the jaws apart. When this had been
accomplished Thumann got an AK, sat
down on the elephants head, and DR..
Reed took a look inside. He found a
great hole in the first molar on the
right side. The tooth was in bad
shape, and before anything could be
done to fill the cavity it had to be dug
out and cleaned properly. When this
was done medicine was put in to
stop the pain, the hole was filled up
with cement and polished off, and
everybody but Thumann left the cage
while the latter undid the chains and
straps and things and let Gunda up on
his feet again. The elephant was a
bit unfriendly for few minutes, but
soon Gained down.

HOUSE FLY COSTLY.
Almost Incredible What Damage
Is Being Done by Pest.
Expert Says People Lose 17o,oo0,ooo
Years of Life and $2o,oOo,ooo 900
by Insect - determination
Huge Task.

New York.-One hundred and sew
enty million years would be added to
the lives of the people of the United
States, or 100000 lives of the pres
ent average length, and $20,000,000,-
600 would be saved if the house fly
were annihilated.
In these startling figures DR.. Daniel
d. Jackson, member of the Mer-
chants association water pollution
committee, told the New Jersey SAM
tary association his estimate of the
damage by the common household
fly.
1T is almost incredible what dam
age is being done by the pest" DR..
Jackson said. Figures help to con-
vey 1t in way, but no figures can tell
the whole tale. However, when l tell
you that if the pestiferous household
fly could at one swoop be annihilated
two years would be added to your
life, my life, and that of every man,
woman and child in the world. That
means something. And when we go
further and find that this means the
saving of 100000 lives of the present
average length, or a total of 100000
600 years Of life, that means a great
more"
DR.. Jackson is an authority second
to none on the subject For years he
has investigated the fly in its bearing
on disease, and he is convinced that
in doing away with the pest we will
also do away, in a very large degree
with typhoid and other contagious fe-
vers.
In investigating the pollution of the
waters of New York harbor, DR.. Jack
son found flies were most numerous
in the neighborhood of sewer outlets,
and that in the same neighborhoods
typhoid fever and other intestinal dis
eases were most prevalent. Thou
sands of flies were caught and exam
ined, and upon them millions of dis
ease germs we're found.
In the paper delivered before the
Jerseymen, DR.. Jackson told of one
model tenement block in Manhattan
where more than 100 cases of typhoid
fever developed in the recent epidem-
ic. The health authorities were in.
clined to ascribe the fever to milk,
but it was shown that other neighbor.
hoods geeting milk from the same
source had little fever.
Investigation showed that two
stables in unsaDitary condition were
Immediately behind the model tene
ment and millions of flies swarmed
from the two places, carrying on their
legs and wings the filth from the
stable refuse. So it was shown that
the flies had caused the epidemic.
AS to the possibility of eXterminat.
ing the fly family, it is shown by sta
tistics that the task is monumental
if not impossible, one. A few months
ago State Entomologist Bruner of Ne
braska said single house fly could be
the progenitor of one hundred and
ninety-five quadrillions of flies in ter
generations, which means in one
years time. One hundred and ninety
five quadrillions is about 195,000,0 0C
bushels of flies.

BENNETT CUP TO ENGLISHMAH
WAS IN LE9LANc's GRIP BUT
LOST IN ACCIDENT.
Frenchman Had 80 Miles an Hour
Speed, When His Gasoline Tank
Feed Pipe Loosened.

New York.-Claude Grahame-White,
flying for the Royal Aero Club of the
United Kingdom, lifted the Gordon
Bennett international speed trophy
from the custody of America Saturday
in the fastest time ever covered for
the full distance of 100 kilometers,
6214 miles, around five-kilometer
course. His average speed was frac-
ton better than 81 miles an hour and
his fastest lap was minutes 55.77 Sec
onds. The captain of the French team,
Alfred Leblanc, flying in a similar ma,
chine, 100-horsepower Bleriot mono
plane, was making each lap on an aver
age of twenty seconds faster than Ora
hame-White and would have won the
cup if he had not met with disastrous
accident when he had the race seem.
ingly well in hand.
His first lap was new worlds rec
ord in itself for five kilometers, min
utes 45.63 seconds, but he subsequent
ly exceeded it with lap done in two
minutes 44.32 seconds.
Leblanc's Misfortune.
Leblanc was running with the wind
under full power at an estimated speed
of eighty miles an hour when the feed
pipe from his gasoline tank to his mo-
tor loosened under the -incessant jar
ring of the engine and he suddenly
found himself with nothing but mo-
mentum to carry him. 1t is a peculiar
ity of racing aeroplanes that they are
trimmed down so fine they can not ex-
ecute volplane or glide If the engine
shuts off. They must come to the
earth under and even then they bump
severely in landing. Leblanc was help.
less and panic-stricken. He tried to
lift his planes so that the last few drops
of gasoline might filter down into the
engine and lend him strength enough
was gone and when a puff of wind
caught him he drifted sideways, still
drifting at tremendous speed, and
crashed head foremost into telegraph
pole.
The pole was fourteen inches thick.
but he broke it in three pieces as If it
had been toothpick. The first frag-
ment was sliced clean off twelve feet
up and snapped again at the bottom Of
the stump. The third and topmost frag-
ment fell over backwards and smashed
down on the fragile planes The chas-
sis and steel shield which incloses the
motor were completely crumpled, but
the solid steel of the motor itself with
stood the shock. Had Leblanc hit the
pole in any other manner 1t is difficult
to see how he could possibly have es-
capped death.
His accident was accepted on every
hand with the greatest regret.
