QUEER CHARGE OF FRAUD

Shipping the corpse of his mother
as ordinary goods, a retired telegraph
official at Emden, Germany. has to
answer an extraordinary charge Of de-
frauding the railway authorities. A
few weeks ago his mother died at
Nice. France, after expressing a de-
sire to be buried In her native land.
While anxious to fulfill this last wish.
the son was either unwilling or unable
to pay the high charges which are
made by railways for the transport
OF human remains, SO he packed the
body of his parent in a large case
and put 1t on the line ass ordinary
goods. He himself made the journey
in advance to Emden, and when the
corpse arrived he took 1t from the
station to the hotel where he was
staying. There he was embarrassed
for some time as to what should be
done with 1t, but the case was even
tually carried to the house of cousin.
where an attempt was made, on the
strength OF quite regular death GER
tificate issued at Nice. to induce the
doctor to testify that the woman had
died in Emden. This, however, the
medical man refused to do, and so the
matter got out.

FAITHFUL DOG IS PUNISHED
Lashed for Barking While Burglars

Aaron Silverman's brindle bulldog
Spot is the only living creature around
Silverman cafe at 141 West Twenty
seventh street that is in any condi
tion to SMILE. but Spot is physically
too sore to smile.
Some time after midnight the bark
ing of Spot awakened the Silverman
family in their rooms above the sa-
loon. Silverman thereupon arose, got
trunk strap and walloped poor old
Spot into silence and went back to
bed.
When Silverman went behind the
bar about $50 he found that burglars
who doubtless had started Spots un-
precedented barking had ripped open
the cash register and taken $50 and a
ring from 1t, and then had attacked
the safe and got away with one dia-
mond ring worth s125. two more worth
500 each. a S75-dollar watch, la
valllere worth s75, a s45 locket and
chain and four Russian gold pieces

NO NEED TO "HoLD PHoNEn
Sound masnifyins Trumpet which
Will Tell You When It Is Time
to Talk.

There is sound magnifying trum-
pet OF fiat shape. behind which is
small attachment intended to support
the telephone receiver. When it be-
comes necessary to hold the line,
when calling up or replying. instead OF
the person standing with the receiver
glued to his ear he places the receiver
upon the time saver, bringing the ear
piece into position with the sound
magnifier. He is then at liberty to re-
sumo his duties until such time as
the person required at the opposite
end attends his instrument.
This is notified by the speech trans
mitter being magnified by the time
saving device SO as to be perfectly
audible at distance The receiver
may then either be withdrawn and
held to the ear In the usual way. or
left In connection with the magnifier,
hearing being quite as simple and
easy as under normal conditions. An
other advantage of the invention is
that the users two hands are left free
to carry out any other requisite task,
such as the turning up OF documents.

FLOWERS THAT EXPLODE

There are certain kinds OF flowers
which explode. in order to scatter
their seeds about. but these are silent
explosions brought about every seed
Ing time by Nature. For a flower to
actually explode with detonation
that can be heard long distance Ia
quite another thing. and rarity.
Such an explosion, however, occur
red short time ago in the botanical
gardens at Algiers. 1t was the spathe
or the covering of the bunch OF bios
SONS on great palm tree. This
spathe was nearly three feet long. and
when the explosion occurred 1t was
hurled to great distance, while the
shattered blossoms arose like cloud
OF golden smoke and covered the top
of the palm.
The cause Of this was the suns
heat, which was unusual. and had
actually roasted the flower to the
color of rust. The excessive dryness
of the air had caused fermentation
inside the spatEe. A great sirocco,
or hot wind from Sahara. had just
blown over the palm and agitated
the fermenting contents of the spathe.
Such explosions are very rare. but
several others are recorded. especially
In that part of the world. 1t is said
that an ostrich egg will sometimes
explode in the same manner and from
the same cause.
