As A. c. Bedell was returning from
North Troy Monday night by automo-
bile, where he had been to carry a party d,
he met with an accident which resulted
in badly damaged machine, consisting
of two broken wheels and broken head
lamp. Mr.. Bedell was also injured about
the chest, being thrown against the steer

distance and ran into the ditch after
crossing the bridge above the mill. In
pulling the car back into the road, Mr..
Bedell lost control and ran into the op-
posite bank, striking a tree. The car
was brought home today.

ON EGYPTs FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on Its Placid Waters Rowers
weirdly Chant as They Tug
at Their Oars.

As we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
of night. throwing a strange pink light
over the city's buildings, Archie Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The mimosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background, cir
cled over our heads, owe the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dehabeahs that were floating
along in the breezeless night, propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oar
Dimly, we could see the black draped
figures of numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water were caused by
the dropping of their heavy jugs,
which they twirl around till they are
filled, after which they raise them
laboriously to their heads and then
skip up the banks and disappear in
the darkness of the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and
all was quiet. All but the plaintiVe
lay of a piper who must have been
somewhere not far off on the bank of
the river. 1t seemed that he was play
ing the love song of Larbi of Benz
Mora. 1t was monotonous and drowsy
and invoked sleep. In the morning
before dawn I heard the boys pulling
the stake ear my window. l had
fallen asleep to native music and now
| was awakened by their song. AS
we started up the river, the clarion
call of the muezzin rang out from the
minaret. For good Mohammedans it
meant that a new day had begun-but
for infidel Americans, there were sew
eral additional hours of sleep.

Speaking of feas-and they r a
common topic of conversation in some
parts of the United States-as COM
mon a subject as mosquitoes in New
Jersey or flies in other places-certain
British and other scientists have late
ly discovered that a flea becomes old
and infirm within twenty days after
it's birth, although some feas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well-fed. Up to
the fifteenth day of it's career the flea
Is able to do a considerable amount
of execution. After that length of
time it becomes rather sluggish and
Indifferent. These are important ad-
ditions to the literature of the flea.
1t has long been known that the flea
is no respecter of personals, in fact,
very promiscuous in its associations;
that 1t is extremely agile; that a
settlement of fieas anywhere soon be-
comes o~vercrowded; that fleas thrive
