Since the slugs spend the greater

follows that thorough stirring Of the

WOOD LEG DRAWS LIGHTNING
iron Braces on Artificial Limb Attract
Electricity Which Badly Burns
Railway Signal Man.

Kansas City, Mo.-During a severe
thunderstorm G. Richards, fifty-eight
years old, 3019 Durham avenue,
signal man for the Kansas City Belt
Railway company, was struck by
lightning In his tower at Twenty
fourth and Penn streets. He is in
the General hospital being treated for
serious burns.
Richards was at work at the time
the lightning struck the tower. The
bolt first struck the stove pipe that
extends through the roof Of the signal
station and it followed the pipe to the
interior, where the lightning contin-
ued its downward course with Rich
ards in its path,
'If Richards had not worn an arti-
fetal leg I don't believe the lightning
would have struck him." Dr. G. G.
Remley, police ambulance surgeon,
said. His left leg is cut off below the
knee and his artificial leg has iron
braces which are held in place by a
belt that encircles his body. 1t is my
opinion that this metal attracted the
electricity to the man..
The effect of the lightning is shown
in burns over the lower portion of
Richards abdomen and legs. The
lightning followed the artificial left
leg from a point a few inches below
the knees The limb was splintered
and at the toe of the shoe a hole was
torn in the leather, giving appearance
of something having been thrust
through from the inside. The pipe
from the stove was wrecked, window
knocked out and the contents Of the
room were scattered about.
The police was notified of Richards
injury and the ambulance from police
headquarters was sent out. The in
jured man had to be carried from the
! tower.

NYMPH PROVES TO BE MAN
Caught by Police, Gives Strange Rea-
son for Fondness for Wom-
ans Apparel.

Livingston, Mont-After a weeks
effort marked by seven failures to
capture Livingstons wild woman"
the strange creature, whose actions
have excited this city as nothing else
ever did, was run down by Chief of Po-
lice Frank Swindlehurst and Police
man Hansen, and to the amazement of
the officers was found to be a we'll
known clerk.
The prisoner under cross-examina-
ton broke down, telling the officers
that he had been marked" before
birth, his mother having fallen into a
stream and when dragged from the
water was laid upon pile of women's
clothing by his father.
The passion, declared the prisoner,
to attire himself in feminine garb and
disport himself in the water at night
for hours was ungovernable. He be-
came so proficient in the water that
though the Yellowstone river was
high and the waters turbulent, he
would dive under the logs and easily
swim to safety when pursued. His
garments led to the belief he was
woman. He repeatedly escaped the
officers even at night, and during the
winter he would splash and swim.
Chief Swindlehurst refused to di
yulge the mans name, as he fears l
would cause him to lose his position
but he will be kept under police SUI
veillance.

would also be of value in disturbing
the cocoons.
According to DR.. L. o. Howard
chief of the bureau Of entomology at
Washington, the slugs may be easily
washed off of small trees by strong
stream of water applied from a gar
den hose under heavy pressure. When
washed to the ground they are unable
to regain their places on the leaves
Such a measure as this would be quite
feasible on a small scale in cities, OF
where water pressure is available.
Spraying is undoubtedly the best
remedy for the pear slug. OF the two
generations the first is the harder to
combat, especially on cherry trees,
since the fruit is present on the trees
at about the same time that the slugs
are abundant. Consequently due care
| must be taken in the use of arsenical
poisons at that time. Arsenical poi
sons may be used freely for the sec
ond generation in the late summer.
The pear slug is rarely destructive
in any locality for many years at
time. This alternating abundance ant
scarcity of the insect is due for thu
most part to the activity Of it's natura
enemies, the most abundant OF which
are two small egg parasites.

unconscious of what was going on, sat

Members of the Ware family had
been to a railway station to meet a

to their home they set the talking ma

twice while the songs were being

nothing of it. Soon the family retired
