CREEK Sent BACK TOOHIO
Man Who Prayed for Bread on Third
Street Is Returned to His Home
From the Jail

After wandering for five months in
the mountains of Pennsylvania, sleep.
ing in the snow ON nights when he
could find no convenient barn, John
SissiS, Greek from Canton, o.. dis.
heveled and hatless, fell down before a
woman on Third street near Walnut last
Saturday morning and prayed in his
language for crust of bread His ac-
tions were those of crazed person and
the woman called policeman and the
man was locked up.
He was thought to be a Turk as the
word "Allah was frequently used in
his ambling talk. 1t was discovered
in Jail that he was almost starved to
death After several days Greek in
terpreter spoke to him and his story
came out. He was sent to his brother
in-law in Canton, o., yesterday by local
Greeks who interested themselves in his
case.
Sissis had left home bound for his
native Greece, having $3.50 and dia-
mond ring to pay his expenses. He
became confused in Pittsburgh owing to
the transfer of the trains and believ-
ing that he was on the wrong train he
jumped off and began his five months
wandering orer the wilds of the State
finally ending in the Dauphin county
Jail.
He slept in barns and ate scarcely
anything but apples when he could find
them and crusts of bread. He begged
from the farmers when winter set in.
He can understand no English and his
lot was hard one. His hands and
feet froze during his wanderings.
When he got to Harrisburg he was
erazed from hunger and prayed for a
crust of bread. Nobody could under.
stand him and he was committed to
Jail. After "a day he ate ravenously
and when Warden Caldwell saw his ra.
tional mind returning he made efforts
to locate the mans home and finally the
Greek interpreter secured the informa-
tion.

COAL MINERS CLOCKS.
Telling the Time of Day by Lamp or

'eH'n9 the 'lrne OF LAY oy Lamp or

Do you know that every miner when
descending into The pit to work takes
with him Il couple of clocks? These
are not ordinary timepieces. for they
have neither wheels. springs. dials nor
any Of the usual appurtenances, The
clocks" are simply his lamp and oil
flask. BY noting the quantity of oil
consumed-or that left-the miner can
tell to within few minutes any hour
of the day or night.
When miners lamp goes out, as it
not infrequently does, in almost any
circumstances he must not relight it
himself. Instead. though he may be
left in pitch darkness. be must grope
his way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. He does the Crop
ing with his hands, STOPPING down
until he touches the tram lines along
which the Goa is taken. and sliding
his hands along the metal until he
reaches his destination or meets some
: one going In the same direction.
A coal hewer's earnings depend on
the weight of coal he gets and also on
the number of fathoms cut. A cubic
yard Of coal weighs about eighteen
hundredweight. and the outstretched

about one fathom. By these measure
