The French liner Caroline from
Havre via Halifax, suffered worse
than the big White Star liner. The
Caroline was swept necessarily by

CINE room with hot water and steam.
Seven men were badly scalded and
were in the ships hospital when she
arrived

of II, today was arraigned in munich
pal court on a charge of forgery. The
young woman, who is believed to have
given a fictitious name, was stunning

in respect to her identity. They are
that she is a. clever female forger,
that she is the wife of a. wealthy New
Yorker, and that she is the wife of a
prominent New Hampshire business
man, who is very i'll. She forged the
name of William Terry to a $25 check
and passed it on a Back Bay phar-
macist. In her room where she was
arres ted Saturday were found several

practically that Of the moon in its or

This is roughly half Il mile a second
Now, if Il person were TO be stationed
on a mountain whence he could see
for some miles he could actually watch
the approach of the shadow and keep
his eye on its edge. OF course the
Shade would cover the whole landscape
for any one person.
From the testimony of many men
who have Witnessed the phenomenon
