Three Miles a Minute by Rail.

Foremost among the countries con-
stantly engaged in railroad improve
ment which has high speed for its
object is Germany. Connecting Zos-
sen with Marienfeld is military rail-
road, fourteen and one-half miles in
length and as straight as a rule, and
on this line the worlds highest
speed records have been made. The
cars are about seventy-two feet long
and weigh ninety tons each. Each
car is fitted with four electric mo.
tors, two at each end, developing
1000 horsepower in all.
Day by day the speed was increas-
ed, until the velocity of 130 miles
per hour was reached. 1t was the
opinion of conservative engineers
that $50 miles per hour could be had.
Less conservative engineers placed
the limit at 200 miles per hour.

BLIND MAN
Nav Practice Surgery and Will Use
His Fingers as Eyes.

Surgical operations may be perfom-
ed by blind man if Jacob W. Boil
otin succeeds in passing the examin-
alton for a physicians license which
he took before the State board of
medical examiners, says a Chicago
special. He has met every test that
has been given him, and the examin-
ers believe he will qualify and be-
come the first blind medical practi-
toner in the State of Illinois.
Bolotin, blind from his infancy,
will complete a course in medicine in
the Chicago College of Medicine and
Surgery this month.
"a blind physician" exclaimed
the young man after he had finished
debating his answer to the final ques-
ton. "Well, is there anything so
remarkable about it? Because a
man hasn't eyesight is it any sign
that he hasn't any brains?'
"They laughed at me when I asked
for a chart and said that was going
in the regular class for dissecting.
But there wasn't a nerve, a sinew, a
vein, an artery, a tissue that the eye
could behold, but I could feel with
the tips of my fingers. My fingers
are good eyes. With them I can de-
tect pulsations, irritations and tenn
peratures instantly.
my ears are keen to every little
sound within the human body. They
tell me unquestionably and prompt
ly when the machinery of the heart
or digestive organs is not running
smoothly. Or if there is catch or
obstruction in the lungs my ears tell
me Immediately what is the cause,
and then I know what to do.
II am to specialize in heart and
lung diseases, and am sure that |
shall succeed, for already have been
practicing as assistant in the College
Municipal tuberculosis Sanitarium. "
Bolotin was born in Chicago "a
years ago. His parents were poor
and he was sent to the State School
for the Blind at Jacksonville. He
wanted to be physician, but was dis
couraged, both because Of his blind
ness and because he had no financial
resources. He said he would make
matches. He made cents the first
day, IA cents the first week, and af-
ter that, he says, he never made less
than So a day. Last year he went
out on the road selling typewriters.
and made nearly enough to carry him
through his last year of college.

GLAD HE WENT TO PRISON.
Youth Learns Trade, Gets Education.
Plays Baseball.

Peter Muller, aged 20, self-con-
fessed safe blower, is grateful to
everyone who had any part in send
ing. him to the reformatory at Boon
vile. Mo-, says Denver, Colo., specl-
al.
He has a regular berth on the re-
formatory baseball team, is rapidly
learning his trade as bricklayer, Is
attending church every Sunday and
getting the rudiments of an educa-
ton. For these things he writes But
Ter Disman, assistant United States
attorney, that he is grateful.
Muller was sentenced to the re-
formatory by Federal Judge Lewis
for taking part in the robbery OF the
postoffice, at Bellevue, near Fort COL
Inns. George McWilliams and Wayne
Douglas, his companions, were given
three and five years, respectively.
Muller writes that he is glad he is
in jail, says that he is making fine
record and feels that had he not been
arrested and sent to Boonville he
would have become a social outcast
and made safe-cracking his life busi-
ness. The Bellevue robbery was his
first offense.

UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE.
Swarm of Bees Settle on MIR. Hus-
KEYS Head and Badly Stung Him.

A very unusual thing happened at
Beaverdam last Saturday that came
near costing Mr.. Bee Huskey his life.
He and his son were plowing when
Mr.. Huskey's attention was attracted
to a swarm of bees that were coming
his way. To his surprise they began
to settle upon his hat and crawl down
on his face. He began brushing them
away and the bees resented this in
reference to their plans and began
protesting with their stingers. Mr..
Huskey snatched off his hat and the
bees settled on his head, getting
down under the hair and stinging
him. Mr.. Huskey snatched up
guano sack and covered his head,
running to the house, crushing the
bees with his hands through the
sack. Directly after reaching his
house whelps as big as a mans
thumb began to appear all over his
body, caused by the poison from the
bee stings. Mr.. Huskey 'phoned for
a doctor and DR.. Darwin fastened
down, telling Mr.. Huskey over the
phone to bathe his face and hands
in a strong solution of soda water.
This undoubtedly saved his life. Mr..
Huskey was very weak when the doc
tor reached him and administered
medicines.
Fortunately Mr.. Huskey received
no permanent injuries and was able
to be up town Tuesday. The sting
of a bee is very dangerous in some
instances and Mr.. Huskey was stung
in so many places that it is a miracle
that he is alive.
The bees also stung Mr.. Huskey's
son several times but no suffering
resulted. The bees settled on the
mules, causing them to break loose
and run out of harms way.-Chero-
kee News.
