A curious fact about the child Is
that he was born with q couple Of
small wings on his shoulder blades.
This bare fact would have meant
little since, the mother and nurse
thought it made him look rather like
q little angel. But 1t bids fair to
give the nurse and mother constant
. trouble in the future.
Samantha johnson, colored, the
nurse who has raised all the children
in the Hermes family since she moved
here from Virginia, was preparing to
give the child its bottle Of pasteurized
ambrosia early today, when its atten-
tion was attracted by q solitary fly
fitting about the nursery. To the con-
sternation Of its nurse. the baby hap-
ped its wings and fitted away in pur-
suit OF the fleeing insect.

articles of furniture In hopes of Turing

sought. he would be in Imminent dam
ger Of catching infantile paralysis or
scarlet fever.
With great presence Of mind she ran
and borrowed q butterfly net from a
student Of bugology that lives across
the street. Still the child deftly eluded
her. 1t was NOT until she had lured
the ny with piece OF sugar and laid
him low with q well directed swat
from q patent screen paddle, that she
| succeeded in getting her hand ON the
young boy again.
She went to the mother late this
evening and asked leave to take the
scissors and clip the child's wings for
his own good. The mother would not
allow this, however, and the nurse had
| to be content with incarceratink the
troublesome infant in an abandoned
parrot cage, or hobbling him with

SWEDISH PRESS DENIES
ANY AID GIVEN GERMANY
Refutes Charges Of London Times
That Contrabrand Goods Are
Being Exported.

Correspondence OF Associated Prcss.)
STOCKHOLM. October 20.-Public
suspicion in England that tho Scandi-
navian countries are supplying Ger
many on u large scale with such com
moditles as wool. petrol and grain. ha,
aroused tho most energetic protests
In tho Swedish press. The suspicion is
wholly unfounded. Since tho beginning
of tho war and the declaration OF
Swedish neutrality, the expectation of
these commodities has been prohibited
by the Swedish government. Tho Or
der has been rigldly enforced
Regarding the increase In Swedish
imports OF corn, which tho London
Times quotes ns one basis OF tho sus,
picion that Sweden IL -scnding corn
to Germany. II is explained here that
this Increased Importation Is due sim
ply to the fact that Sweden's harvest
OF common fodder this year has been
very poor. The corn is to q great ex-
tent given to pigs. Thus the Swedish
papers point out that the Swedish and
Danish export of pork and ham to
England depends largely upon the
supply OF corn. which Is n reason Eng
land should look upon this import with
sympathy.
When the war broks-out Sweden was
short GO per cent OF her usual pc
troleum supply and Denmark was IN
II still worse plight. which accounts for
tho present importations. lInving the
opportunity to import, Sweden IL de-
termined to cover her own require
ments. for there Is constant fear that
traffic may be stopped ut any time.
England's prohibition OF tho export
OF wool and some specified WOODEN
manufacturers Will Cause some incor-
venience TO Swedish factories. The
need OF the British action is not well
understood here, since Sweden. a
long time ago, had stopped tho cSpor-
tation OF any wooden articles TO Ger
many.
A result OF this restriction, IL is said.
will be~that Swedish manufacturers
Will buy their wool directly from the
Argentine. and In future pass by the
British merchants. Preparations al
ready are being made toward estab
fishing such direct ipportations.

NEW AND SAFER BATTERY
FOR USE IN SUBMARINES
Navy Department liz Experimenting
With an Invention of Thomas
~ A. ISdfson.

WASHINGTON. November s.--A
danger which is over present In subma-
rines to-day, that OF asphyxiation by
chlorine or other poisonous gases
thrown Off from the batteries, will be
done away with, it Is believed by naval
officials. by the use of storage batteries
which Thomas A. Edison has invented
and which the Navy Department has
begun TO test. With the lead batteries
now in use In submarines. sea water
coming into contact with the batteries
Jig likely to cause the formation 4 Of
gases which would bring death to the
men In the vessel.
L tho tests being made in the shops
at the New York Navy-Yard with the
new battery provo it's worth, it will be
Installed on IA submarine. In a month
or less the value of the invention, 1t
is said here, should be known. On ac-
count of the greater cost of the Edison
battery, as compared with those now
used. and the fact that no funds are
available, it was said the new battery
could not be put on the old submarines
unless IL were necessary to tear out
one Of the old ones.
Another feature which naval officials
here believe Will make the new battery
desirable IN that it should have a long
er life and require less repairs than
those now in use.
