Hindus on board the Japanese steamer
Komataga Maru in the harbor here.
Showers Of coal and other missiles

New York.-More than 100000 per-

burning of the Gen. Slocum IN the

shortly after 5 o'clock, when there
came q sudden burst Of flames through
the upper works amidships. where the
after funnel rose from the oil tank
room in the hold.
The passengers, frightened nearly
into Mysteries, were kept from panic
only by heroic work Of the squads de'
tailed to look after them, but as the
smoke grew denser and settled about
the decks, 1t became apparent It would
be unable to control them for any great
length Of time. At last the steamer
crawled into the Wallabout Market,
directly between the Manhattan and
Brooklyn bridges, and made fast. The
smoke soon died down, and when tne

A sign on the barn Of John J.

following in large white letters OF a

"A thief is in possession of farms
and lands hereabouts. Law, court
and p%erjurers are friends OF the

Pigot, who is apparently an edu'
Gated man, past middle age, and rep
uted to be wealthy, came here from
Brooklyn two years ago. He bought
q farm on Mill Pand, the water rights
Of which are controlled by the River
head Electric Light company.
Soon afterward he complained TO
the company that his land was being
flooded because the water was held
back for power. This was denied.
Then Pigot hired hall, invited the
public, and made an address. he
said Riverhead was controlled by a
ring" and assailed several leading
citizens.
subsequently he sued the electric
company for 1000, alleging that his
farm had been damaged. The action
was decided by Justice Blackmar IN

Doll Too Much Like Baby.

This Is a true story: There Is q little
girl on the East side Of New York to
whom a beautiful woman wanted TO
give a doll. The woman brought the
little girl into her luxurious home n
day and put into her arms a doll
such q doll as Is popularity supposed to
be dear to the hearts Of little girls
who live on the East side. But the
little girl drew back with an ugly
scowl. She didn't want the doll, and
she said so. The beautiful woman
thought her a very %ungrateful child.
It was not until sorne time after
ward the little girl explained. Shed
always had babies to take care OF. she
said. Shed had them to lug around
with her almost as oon as she was
able to walk. She loved them, OF
course, but at play time-when there
was such a thing as play time-she
really didn't want a doll. It was toe
much like the babies.

SALVAGE FROM LOST SHIPS
SpecIe In Quantity Has on Occasions
Been Recovered From the Victims
of the Oceans Fury.

Although the chances Of being able
to do SO are considered doubtful, since
she lies in II fathoms Of water, the
Canadian Pacific railway has not
abandoned all hope Of relocating the
Empress of Ireland. At any rate, every
effort will be made to recover the
s200,0 900 worth of silver, In 16S bags
which is still In the specie room OF the
sunken liner.
The most notable salvage OF silver
during recent years was made after
the Oceana sank in the channel In
March, 1912, through collision with the
Pisegua. The work was hindered by
strong currents and tides, but during
the succeeding three months silVer
worth over 100000 was recovered at
a very low cost. The Oceana was ~
ing quite upright: the Empress OF Ire
land turned turtle-obviously a very
much more difficult position for sal
wage work.
The 100000 worth of silver, now
ever, represents but a small portion
Of the money which went down with
the Inflated vessel; for thousands OF
pounds belonging to the passengers
themselves must have been lost. The
average passenger on n OF these
liners usually carries q plentiful sup
ply Of loose cash and bank notes with
him, and 1t Is estimated, as in the cas-
of the Titanic, that the loss OF paper
money belonging to passengers them
selves must have been enormous.
The banks, it might be mentioned
are the gamers in such cases. Inc
usual procedure when bank notes are
lost is to at once inform the Bank OF
England, giving the numbers. Then II
is necessary to wait u months. II by
that time the notes have not been re
turned to the bank, you may obtain
the cash on again presenting the mum
bers and giving the bank a letter o.
indemnity, guaranteed by your bank
ers, to refund the money should the
notes ever be presented, in which case
| the bank Is Bound to pay again.
II the numbers on the bank notes
are unknown, and the notes are never
found, the money goes to the I'm
claimed bank balances, in which there
are always huge amounts OF other peo
pies money.-London Tit-Bits.

pAN7s WoE ON HIS BARN HOPE FOR THE BALD HEAD
SEWING Hairs on Scalp 10 Proving
SuccessfuI-Fine Gold Wires
Are Used.

A method of sewing hairs in the
human scalp in cases of partial or
total badness has, been successfully
used in several instances by Doctor
Szekely, at the hospital Of Saint Ste
phane at Budapest, and a report ap-
pears in the London Times.
The number Of hairs planted" IN
the head Of q patient has been as
many as $4,000. One hundred hairs
are drawn through punctures In the
scalp at every square centimeter, and
as both ends are left free. the num-
Der is thus 200, or over one thousand
to each square inch. Very fine gold
wires are used, one hve-hundredth OF
an inch in diameter, and fine Ions
hairs from a woman's head are at
tached to the middle Of these. The
gold loop or knot acts as an anchor
and after sterilization is introduced
into the simultaneous tissue, where
It is slightly twisted, and holds the
hair permanently in position. It is
stated that 500 hairs can thus be In
troduced into the scalp within three
quarters Of an hour.
Doctor Szekely has designed q spe'
cial instrument for introducing and
fixing the gold wires. The latter are
40 light and 80 fine that the total
amount of gold in the scalp after
planting" $4,000 hairs Is only one
gramme. The hair is stated to appear
perfectly natural, and a sapcule Of
tissue appears to form around each
gold wire knot. The Inflammation
resulting from the treatment entirely
disappears in form ten to twelve days
and In no case so far has any IN
tense Inflammation or suppurauon re
suited. The hair a be washed
brushed and treated with oil IN the
ordinary way. and one Of the earliest
patients so treated, q lady, has re
tanned her hair intact with the orig
inal luster and %f1exibiity, for ove'
seven years.
