IMMIGRANT IS 7FT. 2 INCHES
Ship Has to Provide a Special Berth for Giant Pole, Twenty-Five
 Years Old

Philadelphia, Pa.-Ignatius Ziemaz- us, who arrived here with 514 other immigrants on the Prinz Adalbert Of the Hamburg-American line, from Hamburg, came to the United States to grow up with the country.
 His ambition would seem to be doomed to disappointment, for Igna- tius, who is twenty-two years old, has thriven so we'll in his native land that he stands seven feet two inches above the earth
 Ziemazus comes from Poland, and is a farmer. He had to occupy spe- cial berth because of his size. and at table no one could sit opposite him be- cause of the length of his legs.
 To the immigration inspectors he said he would go west to purchase a farm. and if he met a suitable young woman he would make her his wife. Ziemazus was well supplied with money.
 Bad weather is chronicled for near ly every day of the voyage in the log of the Adalbert, which arrived one day late. Its 138 cabin passengers. most ly tourists returning home after so- lourn in Europe, remained below decks during greater part of the passage.
 The dark hold of the big liner was veritable chiId's toyland, there being nearly three hundred big cases filled with playthings.

pr. Forbes Winslow Declares There Will Be More Insane Than Sane
 in 800 Years.

London.-There will be more luna tics in the world than sane people three hundred years hence was the prophecy Dr. Forbes Winslow made. This prophecy is based upon the pres ent rate of the growth of lunacy as revealed by recent returns.
 Doctor Winslow expressed strong disagreement with the statement made at the Eugenics congress by Doctor Mott to the effect that increase in lunacy was more apparent than real, and told press representative that in making such a statement Doc tor Mott apparently referred to Lon don only Dr Forbes Winslow said that from his knowledge of the prog ress of lunacy in all parts of the world he had come to the conclusion that i've are rapidly approaching a mad world" He added: Tn every part of the world civilization Is ad yancing. and so insanity is also bound to advance. There were 36,762 regis tered lunatics in 1859, but 135,000 at the present day. That showed the alarming increase"
 If Doctor Mott's theory is accepted we shall wake up when it is too late to prevent a further increase What happened to the pauper class in Lon don, as an alleged proof against the

Columbus, Ohio.-Ye wild-eyed vic. tims of insomnia, who woo the sooth. ing goddess sleep by all the means which fertile minds suggest, read this unadorned tale of an everyday event and wonder.
 The strange phenomenon of an au- tomobile running at a rapid rate, hit ting the rear end of vegetable wag- on, lifting a sleeping boy out of the rear of the wagon, tossing him into the machine, which sped on for dis tance, all without awakening the boy, occurred here.
 The boy was Stanley Cramer, living fourteen miles northeast of the city. The automobile belonged to Walter J. Jeffrey, a local manufacturer. IL was not known at first that the boy had been transferred to the automo- bile unharmed, and pedestrians rushed to the demolished wagon, expecting to find the boy dead and a search was commenced of nearby alleys and streets. In about an hour the boy returned and told of how he had awakened to find himself in a rap idly moving automobile

Oh, yes; it was raining-had been all day. But they didn't mind that so much; you see, they were fishermen. All the same, they were trudging home, with weary steps and very weary-looking faces.
 Their baskets were empty, and, to be candid, they were in very bad temper
 As they entered the little village large dog ran at one of the party. The dog had ferocious look and was barking furiously. But the fisherman did not take much alarm at the ani- nal. He just kicked it away care lessly.
 Aren't you afraid he'll go for your" inquired another of the party, some what anxiously.

Polar Discovery,

One of the strangest dramas in the whole story of exploration has just been played to finish, says an ex- change. In two and a half years both the north pole and the south pole, after centuries of effort and sacrifice, have been reached.
 We all know what is meant by the poles. There is no actual pole. noth- ing protruding from the earth. The earth Is constantly revolving, and we say that 1t revolves upon its axis that is, an imaginary line running from north to south through the cen ter of the earth. The two poles are the points at the earth's surface where this imaginary line, or axis, is supposed to terminate. As the suns rays strike the poles at considerable angle their heating power is less than at other parts of the earth, and so the regions round about the poles have the characteristics of extreme frigid- itv

mick came to me with a story that chot's home. They met in Bill Mur- rays gambling house on Broadway, and Teddy staked the butler who had lost his money in the game. The in- formation that Teddy got was that Ro- chot carried big bank roll in safe In his house, which was In 65th street, near Madison avenue.
 T thought maybe 1t was a ghost story put up by the butler to give Ted dy an idea that he was secure In his loan. But it was worth investigation, and l went to look the ground over with Reddy Ward and Bill Hendrick.
 The house was ! dead easy one to beat, and I saw from the outside that the safe was there. l learned that Rochot was very heavy dealer in for eign securities. There was also bit of a scandal connected with his meth ods of doing business, which gave a color to the story told by the butler. l decided to work the game, and fixed upon a Saturday night for the trick, which is the night that all honest folk sleep the soundest.
 We entered the house through the bathroom and reached the office, which was in the rear of the parlor, on the first floor. In the gang was Ted dy Mccormick, Reddy Mack, Bill Hend- rick, Abe Moses and Billy Reilly. Mack and Reilly were to do the safe work, Moses was left outside and Mo- Cormick, Hendrick and myself were down to make tour through the house to pick up anything that was lying around loose. It would not do to blow the safe, so the drag was used to force out the back of the strong box. This took about two hours.
 We got the stuff together, and start ed to leave the house.
 Suddenly, without the slightest warning we were met by a shower of lead. Everybody jumped for himself When We lined mp on the outside Reilly was missing. 1 concluded that he had been shot, We hauled a big poodle, but million would not pay for the loss of Reilly"
