Sly Rats Kill Turtle.

Attacked by swarm of rat. a big
land turtle belonging to Frank Single
ton, of No. 1926 Chestnut street. OAR
by, put up a desperate battle with the
hungry rodents for it's life, but the rats
proved too many for the turtle, which
finally succumbed to mere force Of
numbers. That the turtle fought GAL
lantly for it's life and gave the rats
more than their share of the battle
there is no doubt.
The fact that the turtle was almost
impregnable in his shell, but finally
succumbed before their onslaught. iu-
dicates that the battle was a long one
and that the rodents waited their OPP
portunity each time it cautiously stuck
out its leather-lik head.
The fact that three clearly severed
front legs of the rodents were found
beside the dead turtle in the cellar
proves that the victim MANNED many
Of it's enemies before it was killed it
self
Singleton had kept the turtle in his
cellar to drive away the rats. and be-
lieves that this was a concerted at
tack to rid themselves of their enemy
After killing the turtle the rats ate off
it's head.-Philadelph Record.

SPECTACULAR FIRE
On New Manhattan Bridge Damages
Structure to Extent Of S25000

New York, March 25.-FOr the sec
ond time within a week there was -
spectacular fire in mid-air today 120
feet above the East river at the
Brooklyn end of the new Manhattan
bridge which. although open for foot
traffic, is not yet completed. A kettle
of hot tar boiled over, caught fire from
the embcrs under the kettle and
dripped in liquid flames to huge
stack of railroad sleepers below
These sleepers are impregnated with
Il waterproof solution which makes
them highly infiammable. Once on fire
they burned tiercely and the flames
crepl rapidly out over the river along
the right of way. Huge clouds of dense
black smoke hid the outlines of the
bridge and falling brands rained on the
waters below, while thousands gather
ed oil house tops and at pier ends to
watch an exhibition which in impress
siveness almost rivalled a volcanic
eruption.
Fire boats from below were unable
to reach the blaze. Workmen let down
ropes with which lines of hose were
hauled up to point where they could
be brought into play and then the COM
bined power of the land engines and
the fireboats quickly got control. The
damage to buckled Orders and warped
lattice work added to the loss in burn
ed lumber. was later estimated at $685.

no way impaired.

statements.
Formal notice has been issued that
steps will be taken by the society To
repudiate any statement alleged to

dorsing the feasibility Of signaling
Mars. Many such stories have been
circulated regarding this project, and
in nearly all instances L. c. Pickering,
professor of astronomy of Harvard
University has been made to sanction
it. This is denied by Pickering
through the Astronomical and As

Mars the notice says.

Boston the Best Liqnted City.

The city of Boston has just contract
ed for $500 new magnetic arc lamps
which, when installed, will make Bos-
ton the best lighted city in this coun-
try. 1t was only after lighting engi-
neers had thoroughly investigated the
question and tested out all kinds of ar
titicial iluminants, including the new
press gas systems imported from
Germany and the very best gas and
electric lamps made in this country or
abroad. that this new arc lamp, an
American invention, was selected.
Superintendent of Streets Guy c
Emerson visited a number of large
cities collecting information before lie
decided to recommend the new type
of arc lamp. The results of this in
that the cities of today are all planning
for more brilliantly lgnted streets.
the Boston Edison Company offered
to demonstrates any lamp. either of for
eign or domestic manufacture. A NUM-
Der of lamps were submitted, from
which the present General Electric
flaming arc and its &C. amp magnetic
arc lamp were selected as the basis of
the new contract. The magnetic was
regarded with special favor on account
of the brilliancy of its light and the
character OF illumination given. The
flaming arc lamp was considered as a
very valuable lamp for large open
spaces. to he used in very limited num-
bers In November, 1908, there We're
about 10000 four amp. magnetic lamps
in operation in so cities and towns of
the United States AMI since then this
nu,nber has been largely increased.
Among the more prominent cities using
these were Baltimore 1926; Fall River.
1000. Toledo, 1900: Portland. Ore. 1725;
Syracuse. 1900. and Worcester. Mass,
1000.
n'lmoer Of these lamps were tested
in Boston street service. and in every
case they fulfilled entirely the claims
of their makers. These magnetic
lamps show by Mr. Emerson's tests
about three times the candle. power of
the old style arc lamps.

ments be found against Klein or Was
son for any of the crimes to which
they have confessed The grand jury
declares that it is convinced that
Charles Stewart and William Brand
are in position to disclose the names
Of all guilty parties.
1t is recommended that the court be
as lenient as possible in sentencing
those who confess.
Indictments are recommended
against Charles Stewart, William
Brand and Hugh Ferguson for conspi-
racy: against Stewart for soliciting
brides from the six banks: against
Stewart for distributing portions OF
tine money to several councilmen;
against Brand for soliciting a bride
from the Columbia National Bank, re-
caiving bride money directly or indi-
rectly from Max G.. Leslie. receiving
bride money from other banks, and for
distributing brihe money in various
sums to various other members of
councils. against Hugh Ferguson for
soliciting, demanding and receiving
money from banks to be used to obtain
votes to get the city deposits for these
institutions, and with distributing bride
money to other councilmen.
A paragraph in the presentments
which was adopted at the last moment
declared that councilman Jacob
Soffel refused the tender of $4,000 which
was set apart as defence fund in
case any of the members of the clique
got within the grasp of the law.
Upon the receipt of the presertments
Judge Josiah Cohen ordered the dis
trict attorney Immediately to draw the
indictments against the men hereto
fore named and the others WHO are
named in the presentment, to whom
it is alleged the money was distrib-

er's father and mother lived in West

where he was born. We lived in Bos-

Westhampton was about 10 miles.
We children expected to make the
journey every summer to see West
hampton, our grandfather and grand
mother, our uncles, aunts and cousins.
To compass this visit an open carriage,
such as we then called a barouch.e,
came around to the house in Boston at
6 o'clock in the morning. Two trunks
were fastened on it behind, or perhaps
one trunk swung by straps from the
hinder axle.
On the back seat of this barouche
sat my father and mother and one OF

opposite seat sat two, and on the high

What Dropping Water Can Do.

One of the Chinese modes of punish-
ment is to place the culprit where drop
of water will fall on his head for hours.
long. The torture this inflcts is proved
by an experience that Col. Fred Burnaby
had in Vienna several years ago. A
school teacher bet him that he would not
be able to let a pint of water drop by
drop, fall on his hand. Burnaby laughed
at the very idea of his not being able to
stand it and the test began.
Although the strong man talked and
tested gayly at first, it was not long be-
fore he began to show signs of distress.
At about the two hundredth drop-for the
school teacher kept tally-an expression
of pain crossed his face.
When the third hundred had been en-
tered his hand began to swell and grow
red. Then the skin burst and the pain
grew more and more excruciating. Final
ly, at the four hundred and twentieth
drop. Burnaby gave up and acknowledged
himself beaten.-Tit-Bits.
