platform, returning over and over
again to the same cities, always at a
higher fee than before, until now he
refgns as headliner. His powerful
lecture, 'The Burden of the Nations

100000 VOLUMES OF RECORDS
House of Commons In London Has
Unique Collection of
Blue Books.

London.-To many people the
House of Commons library would pre-.
sent the spectacle of shelves laden
with good looking books but never a
book to read. The collection of Off
cial records is the most complete of
its kind, with the exception of that
in the British museum.
The busting alone of the 100000
volumes occupies nearly six weeks.
All the latest blue books and the
legislative enactments of every self.

to the miles of shelves and catalogued
in readiness for the first unexpected
query.
The Federated Malay states, for ir.
stance, may cable at any moment for
the words used by statesmen a cen
tury ago on colonial expansion.
In many respects the House of
Commons library is unique 1t con
tains all the parliamentary journals
from 1547, the earliest records being
in manuscript There is the original
death warrant of Charles l. and the
journal from which Cromwell tore

LIVE WIRE SINGED HIS HAIR
Pennsylvania TFainman In Great
Good Luck He Was Not Half
Inch Taller.

Glenside, Pa.-All the hair on top
of the head of William Tennent, &
tra4nman on the Trenton Cutoff rail.
road, was singed off when his head
was grazed by an electric wire
charged with 1900 volts The accl-
dent happened while Tennent was
standing on top of a boxcar of his
train as it passed beneath a bridge
at Corsons station.
AS the wire grazed his head Ten
nent was hurled fat on the top Of the
car, partly conscious. He fell parallel
with the car, but not to the ground,
and when the train reached White
marsh station other trainmen were
sent back to investigate They found
that heavily charged wires of an elec.
trio company passing under the
bridge bed had sagged at least three
feet, and that the gases and SCOT
from engines had eaten away the in
sulation.
Tennent's head as he stood on the
boxcar, was flush" with the sagging
wires, and If he had been half inch
taller or If the wires had sagged half
an inch more he would have received
the full force of 1890 volts and been
instantly electrocuted.
