FIGHTS FOR LIFE
IN RAZOR BATTLE
BARBER GOES MAD WHILE SHAW.
ING PATRON AND ATTEMPTS
TO CUT HIS THROAT.
WHY ONE BARBER SOLD OUT
Samuel Hull Tells Of a Fiendish De-
sire He Had TO sIsy with His
Razor Which Forced Him
10 Quit the Business.

hiladelphia.-Samuel Hull. keeper
Of a restaurant in West Philadelphia
probably was the most interested Of
any person who read OF the desperate
battle William Porter. a Mckee port
business man, had with James Robin
son. barber. who suddenly went in
sane while shaving Porter few days
ago.
Hull formerly was a barber and he
gave up his trade because OF the fear
that he would some day cut the throat
OF one OF his patrons. He read with
interest the story about Porter's fierce
fight for his life and does not share in
the theory that excitement due to bas-
ketball games made Robinson insane.
Mr.. Porter entered the barber shop
and took a seat in a chair to be
shaved Robinson began talking very
fast while whetting his razor, and
Porter by the aid of glass saw a
strange look on the barber's face. He
started to raise his head just as Rob
inson with a wild scream. threw him
self on him trying to slash his throat
The keen blade laid open Mr.. Por-
ter's cheek TO the bone. and as he
tumbled TO the floor OF the chair Rob.
inson dashed to the door and turned
the key in the lock. II was fully ten
minutes before the police arrived to
batter down the door and rescue Por-
ter, who had fought like a demon to
keep the crazed barber with the razor
from his throat.

comment. I've been expecting II for
years and knew II would come. | was

BUSTING Of Iron.

An American physicist, DR.. Cush-
man, announces that the rusting of
iron is really due TO electricity. He
has found that the first attack on the
metal is made by hydrogen in the
form OF exceedingly small particles.
but not. as the text books have taught
us. by oxygen This is in agreement
with the modern theory that many
substances, when they are Dissolved in
water, are dissociated into ions. or
minute particles smaller even than
atoms, all carrying electrical charges.
Even pure water contains a number
of these. Acid impurities multiply the
hydrogen ions and strengthen them in
their corrosive effect upon iron. The
action is purely electric. and involves
an exchange OF the electric relations
between the hydrogen and the iron.
BY immersing the iron In a concen-
trated solution OF chronic acid and
then washing and wiping 1t. says DR..
Cushman, the metal Is rendered pas
sive, so that It becomes capable OF
resisting electro-chemical attack. This,
n true, remarks the Circle. means that
a method has at last been found for
protecting structural iron work and
