This chum r. T. Noodle, also of Gaines
vile. Both men gave their ife-belts
to steerage women just as the Lusi-
tania sank. Timmis, who is strong
swimmer, remained in the water,
clining to various objects, for nearly
three hours Then he was taken into
boat which he stin had the strength
TO assist in rowing.
The boat began picking up from the
water all those showing signs of life
and the first person rescued was the
halfunconscious steerage woman to
whom. Timmis had given his life-belt.
Noodle sank when the ship went un-
der, and although he was good
swimmer, he was not seen again.
Noodle was all ready to jump when
Tinlmis- who had previously given his
belt to a woman. said:
There is q sIeerage woman here
with six-months-old baby Noodle
promptly stripped off his left-belt. bur
lit seems both he and the woman
sperished.

doctor Houghton, the liner again was

Bees Have No Common Sense.

Henri Fabre, the Insects Homer"

bees have no reason, only instinct, and
gives many proofs of his assertion.
For example, he opened the bottom of
a cell in course Of construction, but
the bee that was building up the cell
and storing honey in it, quite uncon-
scious of the fact that the food for the
future generation was oozing out, final
ly sealed up the top of the cell, never
paying any attention to the hole in the
bottom.

WOUNDED ATTRACT CROWDS.
London People Daily Witness the
Arrival of Soldiers From Continent.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 20.-One of the sights
Of London is the arrival of wounded
soldiers at Charing Cross station. The
crowd gathers there about o'clock
every afternoon. Although not a day
has passed since the early part of the
war without the arrival of a varying
number of victims of shot, shell and
gas, the crowd never lessons.
Charing Cross station used to be the
brightest and most interesting station
in London, for most of the travel with
the continent passed there. 1t stands
just off Trafalgar Square in the
Strand, near the center of the west end
shopping district. Before the arrival
of the Red Cross train the ambulance
motors form in a line in a narrow
side street. Ordinary motor cars are
used for the slightly wounded, and
ambulances for the badly wounded
The platforms in the great station are
kept clear, but the sightseers. who are
largely women, gather in the fore
court, waiting for the big iron gates
to open and let out the stream of slow
moving cars, which pass from the side
street into the station and then out.
People are attracted to Charing Cross
less from curiosity than to show their
sympathy. The men in the crowd
always raise their hats as the wounded
go by.

EXAMINE ALL TRAVELLERS.
Germans Seek Useful Information
From All Enterinp Country.
of the. Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ROTTERDAM, July 17.-So that no
useful information may escape atten-
ton, the German government has in
stituted a very thorough system of
examination Of travellers crossing the
frontier from Holland.
To deal with Americans there is on
the staff of the commandant of the
station on the border three officers
who speak perfect English and have
a thorough knowledge of the United
States and Canada. One of them halls
from Milwaukee, where he was edu-
Gated in the public schools; another
from st. Louis. and the third from
Montreal.
After the traveller has undergone an
examination at the hands of a German
non-commissioned officer, whose chief
aim seems to be to find out whether
he can speak or understand German,
for Germans are suspicious of German
speaking foreigners, he is handed over
to the three Engiish-speakin officers,
who entertain him lavishly and pro-
coed to extract all the information
that they can, especially If he has
spent any time in England. When, as
it often happens. the traveller scents
the object of the inquiry, the trio seek
another and probably more voluble
passenger.
