FALL IN BIG BRIDGE TRAP
Chicago Express Driver With His
Horse and Wagon Meet With
Singular Accident.

Chicago.-A man with his horse and
wagon was imprisoned in the pit of
the half-opened 'jack-knife" bridge at
Van Buren, street for almost two hours,
during which time the man faced
death, first by being hurled into the
depths of the pit and drowned, and
again by being kicked to death by the
frightened animal. which sought to
free himself in vain.
Firemen finally rescued the driver
and extricated the horse by means of a
derrick.
The man, G.. II. Powers, driver for
the United States Express company.

opened. He said he was in a hurry
and did not hear a warning signal,
neither did he notice the red lights,
which the crossing policeman and
bridge tender said were burning.

FOOD CONSUMPTION GROWING
American People Are Not Eating
More, but the Number TO Be Fed
Increases Rapidly.

In 1899 the American hen laid eggs
in sufficient numbers during the cal
endar year to amount TO seventeen
dozen for each inhabltant OF the
United States Omitting all thought
of adding a single egg to the individ-
ual share of eggs, but merely TO main
tain the 1900 proportion OF eggs to
population the hens of the United
States in 1910 must be laying annual
they laid in 1899.
The per capita product of milk In
the year 1899 was 95.6 gallons per
annum. To maintain this per capita
for the benefit of our increment or
population, says the Atlantic, the milk
supply in the year 1910 must exceed
that OF 1899 by 1,242, 100000 gallons.
To maintain butter, OF which the
per capita amount produced in 1899
was fourteen pounds, at the same per
capita in 1910 the aggregate produe-
tien must exceed the former figure
by 1S2,O00.00O pounds.
OF potatoes, that other staple of hu-
man consumption, the per capita prod
uct at the last census was about four
bushels; hence in 1910 to maintain

there must be raised 100000 bush
els more of this homely but useful
vegetable than were reported in 1899.
What this product means is best
noted by observing that to supply it
would consume the entire potato crop
as reported at the last census of the
state of California, Colorado. Illinois,

Good Qualities Of Electric Clock.
The electric clock is self winding
and will remain in accurate opera
ton for a period of at least one year.
The winding operation is performed
by a dry battery, and II this is Of
good quality there is no reason why
the clock should not run much longer
than one year The movement Of this
clock is greatly simplified as com
pared with the springdriven clock
The winding arm consists of a lever
with a weight on the end. and as this
winding arm drops to a certain point
II closes an electric circuit and ener-
gizes an eiectromagnet. This mag
