KILLED MAKING TEST
TAILOR's JUMP FROM EIFFEL TOWER WITH PARACHUTE.
Device Designed to Save Life Failed to Work and the Inventors Body Smashed Hole Seven Inches
 Deep In Frozen Ground.

Paris-Francois Reichelt, aged 33.
 A ladies tailor, was instantly killed re-
 gently when a parachute which he had
 Invented failed to work, as he jumped
 from a stage of the Eiffel tower. near
 y 200 feet from the ground.
 Reichelt had been working two years
 on his invention, which he intended
 for use by aviators when aeroplanes
 begin to tumble because of accidents. It was his idea that the affair, which was on the order of a parachute, should be a sort of lifeboat for an air nan whose machine was wrecked.
 The parachute was made of silk and was attached to the back like soldiers knapsack. It weighed less than 20 pounds and the inventor fig 1red that an airman would hardly no- ice it on his back Reichelt had ire luently tested the affair by attaching t to a dummy and dropping the dunn my from various heights in the court yard of his home
 About a year ago, Reichelt attached he parachute to his back and made irop of 36 feet The parachute fail ed to open. but the inventor escaped injury because he had taken the pre- caution to cover his landing place with straw.
 Reichelt was convinced that the fail ure of his device to work on this oc- :asion was because the distance from which he jumped was too low and also because of an absence of personal con- rol
 He worked hard to get permit from the prefecture of police for a personal test or, as his friends called it, duty lest, from the Eiffel tower and finally secured the privilege.
 According to the official report Of the prefecture of police. Reichelt as- .ended to the first stage of the tower. which is about 1S7 feet from the | ground He placed a table near the | edge, facing the Seine, and got ready | Tor the jump, while crowd of report CTS and cinematograph operators | awaited him on the ground.
 Reichelt's friends implored him, | even at the last moment, to use a for the test, but he disregard ed their advice and jumped out from -LC ldDAG N4lu lAC Be-A eN(LGNC OA AA1 | pack.
 For a second 1t seemed as if the par lchute was about to open, in accord lnce with the theory of the inventor. ,ut it shrunk together again. and he ell like a stone, striking the ground n less than four seconds
 The weight on his back accelerated lis fall. He struck with a terrific rash and was picked up dead. His egs and the spinal column were 'roken and his body made a hole seven nches deep in the frozen ground.
 The accident was not because of an diverse wind, but because a piece of 'aper. which had been dropped before eichert jumped, fell vertically.
 One of the earliest victims of avia- ion was another ladies tailor. Fer andez, who was killed on November , 1909, in an aeroplane of his own in- entiOn

MAKES MISCOUNT; KILLS SELF
Rich CattIeman Thought He Was Pulling the Trigger on RevoIVer's
 Empty Chamber

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Gen, Frank Canton of the Oklahoma National Guard, has returned from Benjamin, Texas. where he attended the funeral of his nephew. Roy Burnett. a rich young cattleman of New Mexico
 "The cattlemen of the range coun- try" says General Canton. place only five cartridges in their six-shooters and keep the vacant chamber under the trigger. to lessen the chance of accident at discharge But Roy had habit of playing with his revolver by slowly pulling the trigger so as to turn the cylinder without firing, and counting the chambers as they passed before the trigger place. After count ing five he would give the trigger a hard pull and snap the weapon on the vacant chamber, soaring some friend the while by pointing the re- volver at him.
 Roy and his wife and two young men of New York who were visiting them had been to party few miles from the ranch the evening of March 12. When Roy and his wife retired to their room Roy said he would like to give her a pistol exhibition. He did the usual counting of chambers, or thought he did. and then placed the muzzle to his temple on what he thought was the vacant chamber ani pulled the trigger The chamber had a cartridge in 1t and he was shot A~>A !"

HAD RATS IN TRUNK THE OPENING OF WHICH WAS
 CAUSE OF SCRAMBLE.
After Making Voyage Across AtIantlG In Packing Case Owned by Family of Germans, Over Score of
 Rodents Are Killed.

Baltimore.-Customs inspectors-a, least some of the old-timers like Will. fam H. Richardson, Charles H. Bran nan, Levin J. Heathcote and others expect to run across things that are strange-and sometimes dutiable-in the baggage of steamship passengers from the other side. Even the young CT members of the force are on the lookout for experiences that are out of the ordinary; but in the more than a quarter of a century of service under Uncle Sam Inspector Richardson the other day encountered something new under the sun, as far as the United States customs regulations are con- cerned.
 Examination of baggage, especially that of immigrants, is not the most pleasant occupation in the world. Ask any customs inspector about this. But to open a box of personal belongings and then to jam one's hand into a nest of rats-or rather three of them lis just a little bit more than even a blase inspector cares to go through. And because of this. there hangs a tale-or, to be more exact, nearly two dozen tails-and the following Is the yarn:
 The Breslau, with 1,153 passengers from Bremen, docked at pier 8, Locust Point, the other afternoon. where the cabin passengers were landed that night. and the steerage kept aboard until the next morning. There were 1,105 in the steerage, the majority of whom were men, but there were number of women and several fami- Hes among the immigrants. One of the families was that of Heinrich Popken, a thrifty German, who had with him a splendid family of seven full-grown children, in addition to his wife-six handsome daughters and one son-each of them well dressed, apparently well educated. and. need less to say, the cause of considerable comment The family had numerous packages containing household goods and personal belongings. Inspector Richardson opened the first box and found nothing dutiable While he was taking out the belongings of the Pop kens. second case had been opened. AS soon as the lid was lifted the in- spector saw that nothing but ruin lay before him
 "Rats!" he cried Sc what rats have done"
 With the cry the case was sur rounded by customs officers, railroad men and immigrants. And 1t was a sorrowful sight to the Popkens The case had been filled with clothing; but not even a ragman would have taken the articles as they lay.
 Inspector Richardson took charge of the situation and there began a search for the marauders. They were soon uncovered. First one and then an other of the rodents was unceremoni- ously chased out of his comfortable quarters. The cry spread among the immigrants. and in a few seconds the whole pier was in an uproar. The cry of "Ratsi" in half a dozen languages rang through the building Here and there scurried the rats. After them sped former Cossacks, Austrians, Rou- manians. Bulgarians. Germans, Poles and Hungarians. Not one rat man. aged to escape. and when the carnage was over there were 23 of them stretched lifeless on tie hard, cold floor

Evil of Worryinu,

By constant worry the power of self control is lost. The ability to be cheer full, courageous and sometimes even interesting, is gradually undermined. Eventually this affects the health, the appetite is banished and the diges- ton and probably the heart affected. The unhappiness shows in the face. Lines appear between the eyes, the eyes look dull, and the skin unhealthy aud probably wrinkled.

Willows as MournIna Symbol.

The Babylonian willow, with its long dropping branches, has come to be the symbol of mourning the world over. Even in China it is planted as such.
