SESSION OF SENATE
LIKELY IN OCTOBER
Treaties With the Other Ma
tions, Washington Says, is
Given as the Reason.

Washington, Sept. 20.-President Will
son may call the Senate In extra ses-
sion next month for the consideration
of pending treaties.
Senator Stone Of Missouri chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
has arrived in Washington and Will
have a conference with the president
on the subject of an extra session of
the senate for this purpose 1t Is
thought probable that some announce
ment will be forthcoming after the
senator's visit to the White House.
The treaties pending are those with
Colombia and Nicaragua. They were
both vigorously opposed during the last
congress. 1t is expected that If spe-
cial session is called for consideration
Of these treaties the administration will
also place before the senate the treaty
with Haiti signed last week providing
for an United States protectorate over
the negro republic.
1t became known here today that
many senators have been under the
definite impression that the president
would convene the upper house six
weeks or two months earlier than the
date for the regular session Of con
gress, the first Monday in December.

KALLEEN HURT AS
HORSE RUNS AWAY
Superintendent of Home for
Boys in Jamesburg is
Thrown Out of Wagon.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, Sept. 20.-A fractious
horse driven by Superintendent John
c. Kalleen, of the Home for Boys,
Saturday took fright at an automo-
bile and a putting locomotive, ran
away and threw Mr.. Kalleen from
the vehicle. The buggy was demol-
ished as it turned into SedgW1ck
street in front of the home of Mil
ton l. voorhees, and Mr.. kalleen
thrown cut at this point.
He suffered bad laceration Oh
his hand and bruised on one of his
legs and was rendered in a semi-con-
scious condition. After being carried
to the Voorhees, home and DR. Shinn
summoned, and soon ha,' him back
to consciousness.
Ross Dearborn, secretary to Mr..
Kalleen, was in the carriage at the
time and he stuck to his seat and
held the reins and was instrumental
in saving the horse from injury.
This is the second runaway in
week that Mr. Kalleen has figured
in, Harold Bennett catching the ami
NAL on it's attempt to run away at

the shock Mr.. Kalleen was confined

ing both sexes, may be conservatively
estimated~at $4,000 and the number Of
injuries involving a disability of more
than four weeks, using the ratio of
Austrian experience, at approximately
100000.
These numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
of industrial accidents, for such studies
as have already been made show that
Of the accidents involving disabilities
Of one day and over at least three
fourths terminate during the first four
weeks.
THE injuries which contribute the
greatest number of fatal accidents.
according to Science for Aug. 80, 1915
are railroad employments and agricul-
tural pursuits, each group being re-
sponsible for approximately 1920 fatal
titles each year. Coal mining contrib
utes more than 1900 and building and
construction work nearly 1000. Gen
eral manufacturing, while employing
large numbers, produces only about
1900 fatal accidents.
"When the fatality rates are consid-
cred, metal mining ranks as most haZ-
ardous, with a rate of four per thou
sand coal mining comes next with &
rate Of 35, and fisheries and navigation
following with a rate of three per thou
sand.
Manufacturing industries as whole
rank lowest, with rate OF 0.25 per
thousand, but the fact should not be
overlooked that this low average rate
covers manufacturing groups varying
widely in hazard, including on the one
hand boilermaking and the various de
partments of the iron and steel indus
try, In some Of which fatality rates as
high as those In metal and coal mining
have prevailed, and on the other hand
the textile and clothing industries, In
some Of which the risk Of fatal acci-
dent is practically negligible.
"These estimates are derived from
the best sources available. AT the pres
ent time there are no entirely complete
and trustworthy industrial accident
statistics for even a single important
industry in the United States, This
lack of trustworthy industrial accident
statistics is due to the absence of any
uniform requirements in the various
states as to the reports of industrial ac
| cidents."

THE abolition Of the principle Of

Many people believe that the aurora
borealis Is phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this is not true.
The ancients used to call it chasmata,
bolides and trabes, names which ex-
pressed the different colors Of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
upon by the supersdtious barbarians
as an omen Of direful slaughter; so 1t
is not unusual for descriptions of
bloody battles to contain illusions to

Cannon and Thunder Compared.

Cannon and Thunder Compared
The comparison between the sound
Of cannon and heavens artillery Is
hackneyed enough. But the human in
vention can at least claim great su-
periority as regards the area over
which It is heard. There is no doubt
about cannon fire being heard well
over 100 miles away. The guns OF
Waterloo were heard at Creil, fifty
leagues distant from the battlefield.
But 1t Is doubtful whether thunder
can be heard at greater distance
than twenty miles. When the church
steeple of Lostwithiel was destroyed
by lightning, to the accompaniment OF
such a roar of thunder that the Oldest
inhabitant could not remember, Smea-
ton, the engineer, who was about thir-
ty miles distant, heard not the slight
est noise.-London Standard.
