SChoo|house Walls Fall.
Walls of the New Burkittsville
School Building Go Down.
Several Injured.

While bricklayeIs were at work on the
new school building at Burkttsville, Md. I,
Monday of last week, and while specta-
tors were standing around, the girder
supporting the first floor gave away and
the brick wall fell in. Eddie Baumgard-
ner, aged II years, of Frederick, son Of
Edward T. Baumgardner, who has the
contract for the masonry, was hurt the
worst. He fell distance of about IA
feet and was struck by number Of
bricks and material, being cut and bruis-
ed A number of other persons working
about the building were injured.
Three walls, comprising 20, 600 bricks,
fell One wall was 81 feet high and the
other two walls 5 feet. One of the brick
layers when he heard the crash grabbed
a supporting piece and thus saved him
self as the walls fell in.
Contractor karn who is building the
new schoolhouse, attributed the cause of
the accident to the heavy weight of the
bricks placed at one end of the floor,
causing the girder supporting the floor
to give away.

Three-Headed Elephant.

or the many curiosities to be seen
In the wonderful temples OF Mandalay,
says the Wide World Magazine, few
arrest the attention of the travelling
westerner more than the three-headcd
elephant in the Arakan pagoda, which
is regarded by the burmese as one Of
the most sacred of their many shrineS.
The principal object of alteration in
this temple is seated image of
Buddha 1917 feet high and heavily
coated with gold-leaf. This gold-leaf
is constantly being renewed with the
offerings of pious devotees; you can
buy leaf for rupee, follow the pill
grims who flock to the temple up the
steps leading behind the image, and
place the glitterng morsel on Buddha's
back, thus performing an act of great
merit in Burmese eyes. The three
headed elephant is Buddha's guard,
and occupies the sanctuary that leads
into the holy of HOLES. This strange
statue is made of bronze, and apart
from its freakish character Is a cleyeI
piece Of work.
