FROST SEIZED HIS FEET
William BELL, Pensacola Bank Clerk,
Stole s55,OOO, hut Hadn't the
Nerve to Keep It

Pensacola, Sept 26.-"I just couldn't
resist the temptation. Now all / want
| Is for the prosecuting attorney to ac-
cept my plea of guilty, let the court
sentence me TO the penitentiary, and
the sooner it is done the better I'll be
pleased"
This was the explanation made by
William Fl. Bell, the 19-year- bank
clerk, who confessed to taking a pack
age containing s55.0O0 which the First
National Bank was preparing to for
ward to Flomaton, Ala, by express,
substituting therefor a similar pack
age containing waste paper. while
half dozen bank clerks were with
him getting the shipment ready.
Detectives were put to work and re-
Gently the negro janitor OF the bank
building found the package containing
the money against the grating on the
rear door Of the bank. In his confess
sion Bell said that he returned the
money.
Until the robbery, Bell had been re-
garded as model young man, with no
bad habits and with a comfortab BILE
bank account for a youth of his age
He had never been known to stay
away from his home at night.
Bell was not regarded as suspect
when he approached President Brent
of the bank in his office Tuesday night,
and said: "Mr. Brent, I'm the man
that got the fifty thousand
President Brent, almost dumfounded,
asked Bell to be seated. The official
called in the police, and Bell was put
in prison, where he dictated a state
ment after rallying from a breakdown.
II admit taking the money" said
Bell. Il made up the phony package
at my house Sunday night, September
Is, and Monday placed it in my locker
at the bank. My first thought of TAX
ing the money came on the previous
Saturday, when 1 read letter from
the Louisville and Nashville regarding
the shipment. 1 began thinking about
it / don't know why 1 took it.
Tuesday, when the two packages
were made up and labelled by the boys
walked over and picked up the larger
one, containing the $4,000, and pass
ing in full view of half dozen of the
boys. walked to my locker and sub
stituted the phony package for it. L
put the phony package with the other
package containing the smaller amount
and we put both in the suit case. and
left for the Southern Express Com
panys office. There the clerk receiv-
ed the phony package and receipted
for ii.
Tuesday night l took the package
containing the money from my locker.
put it into the suit case and boarded
the car for home. The package re-
mained at home until Saturday night,
when / got to thinking and decided
that l didn't want 1t. Saturday night
1 again put it into my suit case, car
ried ii to the rear of the bank and
placed the package at the rear door
Stepping into a Greeks store, 1 called
up Mr.. Roberts, assistant cashier, and
told him the money could be found at
the rear door of the bank.
II was uneasy about the money, and
went Sunday morning and afternoon to
see If it was still there. / don't know
why 1 took the money. L suppose it
was in a moment of weakness"

INSECTS HAVE ACUTE SENSES

High Order, ls Not Easy for
Us to Understand.

The mental processes Of the horse
and the dog are those Of man in much
lower degree. In the view Of Prof A.
n Harvey Of Michigan. but the intelli-
gence Of insects must be Of very diff
ferent kind. The double nerve cord
and ganglis differ both in structure
and position from the brain and spinal
cord Of man Insect eyes are immov-
able and compound. and perceive mo-
tion and color. but not form. Ants.
bees, wasps and other insects have no
hearing. Taste and smell cannot be
Identical with those senses in man,
and feeling IL . perception through
touch-hairs instead Of the skin. But
insects have very acute senses that
we do not possess. A eecropla moth
can perceive a female a mile or more
away. although man could not detect
Il under the same conditions at a dis
lance Of more than six inches, and
Rnts. bees and wasps seem to have
Pther senses located. like this, in the
antennae Differing from man In gen.
eral structure. with shorter lives and
different living, the insects have in.

It is supposed that the wild man got
tired Of staying in cage and eating
raw meat and sleeping in hay. So he
pushed the door Of his dugout open.
and walked 1s miles to Washington to
get something that would take the
taste Of the meat out of his mouth.
When the news spread through
Rockville that It probably had a wild

Like Henry Of Navarro at Ivry, the

invading sparrows, but without avail,
for the charge Of the five hundred

RADIUM CAUSE OF CHANGES

Intensity Of Heat.

Radium has revolutionized the
geologist's world. Before its discov-
cry the supplies Of heat furnished by
chemical changes in the earth were
considered Insignificant. And nothing
was thought to replace the heat which
flows from the hot interior Of the
earth to the colder crust.
Now when the earth first solidifled
It only possessed certain amount Of
capital In the form Of heat, and II 1t Is
continually spending this capital and
not gaining any fresh heat, It Il evi-
dent that the process cannot have
been going on for more than a certain
number OF years or the earth would
be colder than It is; less than . hun
dred million, as estimated by Lord
Kelvin. Though the quantity OF ra.
dium In the earth is thought to be
only about FIVE grams In a cube whose
side is 100 miles, yet the amount Of
heat given out by this small quantity
Of radium is so great that 1t is more
than enough to replace the heat which
flows from the inside to the outside
Of the earth.
The radium gives out so much heal
that we do not quite know what to dc
