WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 13.-The
lifeless bodies OF eight high school
students, six girls and two boys, tell
the story of tragedy In the old Pep
per Mil dam, 20 miles below this city,
yesterday.
Twelve students OF the Huntington
high school secured two boats at the
noon hour and started for a row on
the dam The dam is nearly half
mile in width and when the two craft
had reached the center OF the body
of water II was noticed that one or
them had sprung a leak. The two
boats were then pulled together by
the young men in the party and an
effort was being made to transfer the
girls from the leaky boat TO the safer
craft. The last one OF the party had
scarcely set foot in the boat when IL
began TO sink owing to the combined
weight of the party
The girls were helpless to save
themselves and the boys OF the party,
with the exception of Dodson, being
expert swimmers, struck out for the
shore, which all reached in safety.
Minnich, In the excitement, Ii Is pre-
sumed, thought that all the young wo-'
men had succeeded In reaching land.
He had no sooner gained the bank
than he noticed the girls hanging TO
the rapidly sinking boat. The boy
dashed into the water and swan
swiftly to the water-filled craft Only
two Of the girls were clinging TO the
boat, the others having gone down for
the last time. SEEKING Miss DaveiI-
port, Minnich again started for the
shore, but the exertion was too much
for the gallant lad and the two went
down together when they were within
stones throw of the bank.
| When the boat sprang leak there
was no excitement among the mem
bers Of the party, but as soon as the
sound craft began to I'LL with water.
! 1t appeared as though every member
became terrorstricken The shricks
OF the drowning girls could be plainly
heard on the bank OF the dam, but
There was no one near who could
.llaunch another boat and go ston the
Irescne OF the impeTiled party
The accident cast a gloom over the
lower end OF Lnzerne county, where
the families of the victims are promi-
Inent.
Three of those who were drowned
would have graduated this summer,
young Minnich and the Misses Bon
ham and good.

TEACH CHILDREN

CHICAGO, May 13.-All children

belief of Fannie Bloomfield Jeisler,
one of the greatest women pianists in
the world-many cities believe her the
greatest. Nine. Zeisler speaks not
only from the standpoint of a mu-

lustrate her point she cited the fol-
lowing.

up the block are quarreiing over who

Frank partially squared himself. The
Prairie Dogs had nothing behind them
but long row of disheartening ciphers
when the Monitors pitcher went UP in
the air" himself, while the jeering
Prairie Dog rooters yelled derisively to
the aeronaut to take him aboard" This
ratified him out OF all control for few
minutes, just long enough for the
Prairie Dogs to land on him for six
clean hits, among which was Franks
two bagger, for total of four runs
The Monitors slab artist was chased
TO the bench but his successor could
not stop the Prairie Dogs, for they
made another run off his delivery in
the next inning. tying the score. which
now stood in the seventh inning:
Prairie Dogs. $50 0 0 As
Monitors ..0 0-5
Then both sides settled down to an
errorless and brilliant game: Frank did
not share in the brilliance; he didn't
have anything to do. In fact Franks
only chance had been the fly" he
muffed and so disastrously turned into
a home run early in the game. He
glanced at the Flyover, still lowering
above him, and vowed he would never
play with an airship in the game again
1t was a hoodoo.
The eighth and ninth innings passed
without run, and the crowd cheered as
it became apparent an extra inning

describe the great work performed by

give Frank any credit for 1t. as he

to bat, aggrayating his offenses by
making three wild swings at bad balls

the Kisses of the wildly excited fans
And Captain Slater of the Prairie Dogs
said mean things and audibiy. re-
preached himself for not taking Frank
out Of the game and sending some one to
bat in his place-all of which didn't

Much confusion has existed in re.
gard to the gauges of wires, no fewer
than SIS different gauges being men,
toned by a recent writer but since
1884 what is called the imperial gauge
has been established, ranging in As
sizes from half an inch to thou
sandth OF an inch I'm diameter.
The wire industry is actively carried
on In Germany, Belgium, England and
this country
The consumption of wire netting is
enormous, and the annual output in
America and Europe OF the one item of
barbed wire for fencing-a compara-
lively new adaptation-is estimated to
exceed 100 900 tons.
The world wide use of wire for tele-
graphic and other electrical purposes
is too we'll known to need comment
one company owning no fewer than
64S,000 miles in their own system.
Perhaps, however, as striking a fig
ure as can be adduced in relation to
wire is its consumption in the pin maxi
Ing industry. With but few exceptions
all pins are made from brass wire and
the daily production of pins is placed by
competent authorities at $5O, 900, 900.
How this stupeRdous output Is con-
sumed affords matter of no small won
derment. and when the proverbiaI tri-
fling value OF each individual pin Is
further borne in mind. the interest
in this branch OF the wire Industry
VIII be still further augmented.

aeronaut to the spectators. concluding
his speech thus:
And now a word about aerial base
ball. Aerial baseball is still in it's in
fancy as sport, so I'll be able to
show you only bit of it before we be-
gin our regular Legitimate baseball
game.
we will now start the exhibition
aerial game Mr.. Rogers has q
baseballs In the basket up there The
Prairie Dogs will take the field while
the Monitors will go to bat"
And the new game began, while the
crowd laughed at the batters antics in
trying to hit the balls dropped directly
down on the home plate from above.
Each batter had three chances. and IL
he didn't hit the bali at all had to
run for first just as on the third strike
of "a regular game. OF course 1T was
impossible for the catcher to catch any
of the dropped balls. so this was where
the batter got his chance to run.
The game consisted OF but one in
ming, the whole nine going to bat on
each side and the team having most
runs winning. | can't report that much
skill was used Few OF the descend
ing balls were hit but it was awfully
funny and amused the crowd especially
as the Flyover wabbled whenever a
breeze struck her. and then how the
batters would duck as they saw the
balls come down. But the balls were
all soft and no one was hurt.
When the Monitors were retired with
seven runs the Prairie Dogs came to
bat. The originator of the game
failed dismally at 1t. though his team
mates did better. but were not quite
good enough to win.
The first aerial baseball game in
history ended in tie. to 7.
Consequently the regular game that
followed was most bitterly fought out.
Foor Frank didn't shine as a star in
that either Perhaps the fact that the
Fiyover5 was stationed directly over
him in left field as a delicate compli-
ment made him nervous How else
could you account for his muffing fly
in the third inning that let in three
runs?

THE WIRE INDUSTRY

nOSSIBLY but few persons realize the
enormous strides made OF late years
by the wire industry or the constantly
increasing consumption of an article
which. in one form or another. enters
into almost every art and industry and
ministers directly and Indirectly In no
small degree TO the comfort and well
being OF every civilized community.
The manufacture of wire as now car
ried out may be briefly and concisely
stated, and consists in alternating or
reducing in section thin rods OF the
metal under manipulation by drawing
them cold through holes In drawplate,
usually made of hard steel.
The wire drawers bench is furnished
with a horizontal cylinder, driven by
steam or other power, on which the
wire is wound after leaving the draw
plate.
The holes in the drawplate are ar
ranged in decreasing diameters, and a
fine wire may require some 20 or 80
drawings ere ii is reduced TO the size
desired. Much friction is generated in
the process. Notwithstanding the use
OF lubricants. and ''annealing" is neces-
sary TO counteraet the brittleness pro-
duced in the wire.
Where great accuracy Is requisite
the wire is drawn through rubies or
other hard stones in the drawplate.
The speed OF the drawing cylinder is
increased as the diameter OF the wire
dlminishes.
