AUTO BROWNS MAN.
Breaks Boys Lee, Bursts Both
Gates and Goes Overlooked.

New York, Nov. 26. "A runaway auto
mobile on the West Shore ferry boat
Oswego ran over a boy, breaking his
leg, knocked a man overheard and
plunged to the bottom of the North river
this afternoon as the boat was entering
her slip at the foot of West Forty
second street.
The man was drowned. His body has
not been recovered, and nobody on the
boat knew who he was. The boy was
Henry Heitmann. Z years old, of 1877
Union street, Union Hill, N. ]. He was
with his brother William, Is years old.
The automobile belonged to Edward
Barry of Jersey city. With him was
his friend, William Lawlor, a clerk in
the freight traffic department of the
New York Central railroad.
Barry and Lawlor left the car for the
trip across the river and they said to-
night that neither of them was in it
when it started. Lawlor had cranked it,
as the boat drew near the New York
shore, and the engine was going. There
was strong tide running out'and Capt.
William Thompson headed the ferry
boat well upstream in order to bring her
into the slip. This brought the boat in
at an angle and she bumped heavily into
the piling at the south of the slip.
At this moment the automobile start
ed. Barry and Lawler think the force
of the impact threw the clutch and as
the engine was running the car jumped
forward at full speed. 1t knocked
down Henry Heitmann and ran over
him. The unidentified man was stand
ing near the iron lattice gates as the
car bore down on him. He tried to
push it back and Lawer hung on at the
rear. The engine was too strong for
them, however, and the automobile
broke through the iron lattice gates and
literally pushed the unidentified man
overheard, following him with mighty
splash. 1t was later located in the bot
tom of the river, 20 feet below. -Bos-

Of the latter mines are down to depth
of more than 200 feet. Both here and
there, the deeper into the rock the
miners go the better the asbestos grows.
The average percentage of fiber. in the
Canadian mines runs at about eight per
cent. In the Lowell mines it runs as
high as IL per cent, and very little is
milled that does not run 10 per cent, or
above.
The waste that now goes into the
dump, as it would not pay to haul it to
the railroad, is of commercial value
for making asbestos slate and shingles,
and would pay good profit were a
railroad within few rods of the mills.

4 VICTIM OF

At Times Unable TO Work -
Many Medicines Failed.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the Great
Blood Purifier, Cured.

scrofula, causing large punches under
my arms. which sometimes broke open
and discharged. At times l was un-
able to work; not only were the
punches and sores very painful and
disagreeable. but my health was so
run down that had no strength.
MANY medicines failed to do me
any good. and when a friend recon-
mended Hoods Sarsaparilla l had
made up my mind that nothing could
cure me. and should simply have to
bear my affiiction. But Hoods Sarsa-
parilla worked like charm. 1t drove
out the impurities or the germs, or
whatever may be the cause OF scrofu-
la The punches disappeared, and
when had taken six bottles all signs
of scrofula had vanished, and there is
not even a pimple or blotch on my
body.
of course am glad to recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla to any sufferer
from scrofula or impure blood, as it
has absolutely proven to be in my case
a wonderful purifying medicine"

VERMONT ASBESTOS MINES
Railroad Would Aid Greatly in De-
veIopins Industry.
From Burlington Free Press. I
Concluded.


Chrysolite asbestos, such as is mined
in this vicinity, is white or greenish
white, with separated fibers of lus-
trous white, soft and silky. These vary
in length from quarter of an inch to
more than three inches. Single threads
are often found that measure five or
six inches in length. The veins run
irregularly in different directions in
the serpentine rock. The crude or vein
asbestos is the most valuable by weight,
but the faky fbrous substance that i'm
pregnates the rock in all these mines is
found in much larger quantities than the
crude asbestos and makes up the greater
part of the commercial output of all
asbestos mines. This is commercially
known as "fiber," or mill asbestos. "
When milled and ready to ship asbestos
appears as light and feathery as cotton,
but in fact it is as heavy as the rock
in which it is found. 1t is so delicate
that it can be spun so fine that a
single strand or thread will measure
80, 600 feet to the pound.
Cloth may be woven from it that will
weigh less than eight ounces to the yard.
Paper can also be made from it for
deeds, valuable documents, ETC., that
neither fire, water nor time will affect.
Such paper is now made by hand in
China and is being made in a small
way in this country, lack of material
alone preventing its manufacture COM
mercially. Asbestos was used by the
ancients for spinning and weaving into
incombustible rope and cloth and its
value was known for these purposes to
the ancient Greeks and Romans.
There is a growing demand for
asbestos and not a month passes in
which some new use is not discovered
for it in the manufacture of new in
destructible fireproof articles. One of
the latest is the use in making non
carbonizing, indestructible insulator
for electrical uses. This is only possible
when the metal oxides in the asbestos
fiber are extracted by new process
just discovered. 1t is claimed that with
the use of insulation of asbestos thus
prepared there is no loss of electricity
whatever.
Few realize the enormous demand
there is for asbestos for making fire.
proof roofing, shingles and asbestos
slate. 1t has also been discovered that
an asbestos wood can be manufactured
that possesses all the qualities of the
natural product, being susceptible of
manipulation by machinery and car
penters and cabinet makers tools and
makes finished product as beautiful as
natural wood and absolutely fireproof.
There are two varieties of asbestos
known to the scientific world, amphi-
pole asbestos, short in fiber and of little
tensile strength, and chrysoite asbestos,
with hong silken fiber of great tensile
strength and having high commercial
value. This latter kind is the one pro-
duced in all the mines on Belvidere
mountain. In these mines the ore is
taken from the mine on slight grade
down the side of the mountain and only
few of the openings are in more than
so feet. In the Canadian mines much
of the rock has to be hoisted from con-
! siderable depth to the surface. Some

they deem it necessary, cause a grand

FRIDAY. DECEMBER l, 1911
WANTS SAFETY LAWS FOR
PROTECTION OF PUBLIC.
L. =. Foster. Real Estate Man,
Says Boston Regulations, "
Made Law Of Land, Would
Re Of Great Benefit.

L. F. Foster. the well known Boston
real estate man, is anxious to see the
automobile organization which Moor
field Storey recently started, take up
the question of uniform laws for
vehicles in all the States of the Union.
Mr.. Foster believes that if the Boston
traffic laws, which he considers excel
lent, were Incorporated not only as a
State law but as national law with
some notifications, it would prove
beneficial both to vehicles of all sorts
and to the pedestrians as well.
In talking over some of the more
fragrant violations of the law. Mr..
Foster said to Journal man:
"There is no question but that the
large majority of those who drive au-
tomobiles have little or no regard for
the safety of pedestrians, drivers of
vehicles or equestrians.
81 am perfectly familiar with the
reckless running of automobiles in the
park system and elsewhere. Boston has
excellent traffic laws, which, if lived up
to, would be of great benefit to those
who ride, drive or make use of the
highways, and in the congested part of
the city where officers are stationed on
corners the laws are generally enforced,
but in the park system and elsewhere
automobile drivers violate the law with
impunity. Nearly every day l notice
the majority of automobile drivers cut
corners, thus crowding equestrians and
drivers of vehicles off the street to
avoid being run down.
''Police in the park and suburbs give
little or no attention to these violators
of the law. In my opinion, every po-
liceman should be notified and call at
tention to those who ride or drive and
fail to keep to the right when using the
highways.
''lf this fact were to be impressed on
every mind there would be less acct
dents. Another matter of Importance is
the law concerning the use of the high
ways. This law should apply to all
cities and towns in the United States.
Of what benefit is law in Boston when
in Brookline and other places one can
use the roads at his discretion? The
plan suggested by Moorfield Storey is a
wise one and should receive public
support and immediate attention.
"The report of the Highway Commits
sion for ten months in Massachusetts
tells shocking story. Fifty pedestrians,
twenty-six occupants of cars, five BIZ
cycle riders and twelve carriage occu-
pants, a total of ninety-three people
who have been killed by automobiles
since Jan. l, 1911; and over 1857 acct
dents caused by motor cars. The per
cent. of accidents and deaths far exceed
the previous year.
Imagine the figures for the whole
United States-why, the list would be
appalling. In my opinion, the passing
of law to protect the public would be
an impossibility. The automobile man
and others have so much at stake they
would use every possible means to de-
feat such law. "-Beston Journal
