Barn Hit by liqhtninu

Charles w. Chase, Jr., had narrow
escape, and as it was he sustained a
partial lightning stroke at the barn on
his farm in Fairfield opposite the sana-
torium during the thunder shower of
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Chase was
holding pair of horses in the middle Of
the barn floor when the bolt struck the
end OF the barn. learning off the finish
and scattering the shingles all around.
The bolt entered the barn and passed
down through the floor, the horses being
evidently slightly shocked and Mr.. Chase
somewhat stunned but not thrown off his
feet. The barn was full of smoke and
had smell as though gunpowder had
exploded. Thinking the barn was afire,
the horses, machinery and other animals
were quickly removed, but search fall
ed to reveal any fire. The damage was
slight

when he went home, Mr. Edison re-
turned to work after dinner and it
was stated at his home tonight that
he had suffered no i'll effects.

FOUND MANS BONES IN SHARK
Fish Caught Off Florida Held Skull
and Part of Skeleton of
White Man.

A skull, a right shoulder blade, a
left thigh bone, an upper arm bone
and one finger bone were found in
the stomach of a 12-foot shark cap
tured by Henry Sanford Of New
York and Richard Conn near Sol
der Key, twelve miles from Miami,
Fla. Nine other sharks were caught
by Sanford at the same time.
The shape of the skull and the size
Of the bones indicate that the shaHk's
victim was a white man. From the
condition of the bones it is believed
they had been in the sharks stomach
for months. The shark was cut open
at the Royal Palm hotel. 1t was the
first man-eating shark ever found
on the south Florida coast. No but
tons or pocket trinkets were found,
and there was no possible means Of
Identification. There has been no

FRENCH TEACHERS IN WAR.

Twenty thousand Of the $4,000
school teachers Of France are in the
army, and the frequency with which
they are cited in the orders Of the
day has been marked. Even those
who remain with their classes are
contributing in an original way to
the support Of the army. They re-
quire their pupils to bring to school
at least once each week two potatoes,
two carrots, two turnips or other
vegetables to be devoted to provision
ing the military hospitals. No child
is allowed to bring more than two,
IN order that no jealousy may be Gre
ated. The object is not so much to
assure supply of food as to teach
the children generosity and let them
feel that they are filing their role
ID the war. 1t has also had a level
ing effect between the different
classes. From the department of the
Deux Sevres in one day more than
sixty thousand vegetables were thus
collected.

coming on right along, the loss by
death of 38 trotters with marks better
than 2:17, and 46 PAGERS with records
of 2:15 or better during the year 1914,
would appear as startling loss to
light harness racing. OF course all
good race horses must die sooner or
later, but had such a thing as this
occurred few years ago in single
year it would have meant much more
to the racing game than it does today
The fastest trotter in the 1914 death
list is Colorado E., 8 (2:0524), and the
foremost PAGER was Sir r (2:03H)
In the list are many great race horses,
one of the most famous and popular
of which was Effie Powers (2:08 1-8).
A lot of fellows would go into the
business of driving race horses if they
were convinced that they could pro
duce as great a record as Ed. Geers
has. In the last 25 years-from 1890
to 1915-this veteran driver has won
81, ,178,452 in races, his greatest harvest
being in 1902, when he raked in $116,-
$40. Last season he had to be salts
fed with only $45,385. There are
very few Ed. Geers
