A Death turo.

According to tradition, ZENITH, the
legendary king of Scotland, was allured
to his death in a most novel manner.
Zenith had slain a son and brother Of
Fennella, who to be avenged ordered
Wiltus, famous silversmith, to con-
struct death dealing statue of silver.
In its right hand the statue held a ba-
sin and in the left hand an apple Of
pure gold, both set with diamonds and
other precious stones. To touch the
apple was to defy death, it being SO ar
ranged that any one guilty Of such van
dalism would be Immediately riddled
by poisoned arrows shot from openings
in the body Of the statue. ZENITH was
invited to inspect the wonder, and, as
Fennella had hoped, he tried to pluck
the precious imitation fruit. When his
hand touched the apple he was wound
ed by the arrows and died where he fell

THE MINE-LAYER
SAN FRANCISCO
STORMS VICTIM

Boston, May 1.-THE mine-laying ship
San Francisco was stranded for several
hours today on one Of the Nantucket
shoals, but freed herself without assist
ance and tonight lay at anchor In deep
water waiting for the fog to lift before
proceeding. According to wireless mes
sages from her commander, r. r. Bel
KNAPP. the mine layer was apparently In
jured but slightly by her pounding on the
shoal, but a divers examination will be
necessary to determine the precise dam
age. For a time today the San Francis
co.'s officers feared they had lost eight
members Of her crew. The men, who left
the stranded cruiser in a whaleboat to
place a kedge anchor, were blown off
by the gale and lost their bearings in the
heavy fog. After rowing about several
hours they sighted the Grand Round Shoal
lightship and were taken aboard, where
they awaited tonight a coast guard cute
ter or some other vessel which would re-
turn them to their ship.
The San Francisco was bound from
Portsmouth. N. H.. for Newport. r. I.

THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS HARM
NEAR ROCHESTER

Rochester, n. Y, May 17.-Thou-
sands Of dollars damage has been done
in Rochester and vicinity by heavy
rains and cloud bursts of the past As
hours. Street cave-ins occurred in va
rious parts Of the city, hundreds Of
cellars are flooded, trains on branches
of the New York Central and Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg are still held
up by washouts, and service on both
urban and interurban lines ismo re or
less disrupted. Flood conditions also
developed on the Erie canal and the
Genesee river rose three feet. With
the cessa ton of the downpour early
this morning conditions were expected
to improve, although the flood of wa
ter up the valley will send the river
higher and the crest may not be
reached until tomorrow.
Sixty feet Of the Erie canal embank-
ment near Mount Morris went out last
night, causing the cancellation Of
train service on the Erie between that
town and Rochester. The Delaware,
Lackawannan & Western tracks be-
tween Mount Morris and Groveland
and the Pennsylvania tracks between
Mount Morris and Piffard are under
water and traffic has been abandoned.
A cloudburst at Brockport caused con-
siderable damage.

On tho Contrary, II Has the viIest OF
All Viie Drug odors.
The vilest smelling drug known to
the chemists is called cacodyl. 1t is a
combination Of one atom of arsenic
with two atoms Of methyl. 1t was first
made in 1860 by Cadet de Gassicourt,
but Bunsen gave 1t it's name, which has
three roots-cac, meaning vile; cd.
emitting odor, and VI. substance, the
substance emitting a vile odor.
DR.. Douglass W. Montgomery Of San

the Journal Of the American Medical
Association:
"Our forefathers imagined sulphur
compounds to be the worst smelling
things and so, in creating a hades.
plentifully supplied 1t with them. In
comparison, however, with the preduc-
lions of modern chemists the sulphur
compounds Of our forefathers are as
altar Of roses, and from this one may
imagine what a substance must smell
like when a chemist such as Bunsen
would feel impelled to baptize it with
the name cacodyl.
Cacodyl combined with iron or 60
dium-iroM, or sodium, cacodylate-is
sometimes given in cases Of profound
anaemia. but it makes the breath and
skin emit strong odor resembling that
of garlic.

ASQU|TH PLANS
new Government
FOR THE IRISH

Dublin, May 17.-Premier Asquith
has reached the conclusion from i'm
pressions gathered curing his Irish
visit that the old form of government
IN ireland has had it's day. The AS
ISOLATED Press learns from sources in
the closest touch with the Premier
that Mr.. Asquith's conversations and
conferences have convinced him that
the future government must be con-
Quoted on an entirely different sys-
tenn.
The Premier himself does not know
What form his proposal will eventually
take, and, in fact, it will probably be
fully developed only at the cabinet
meeting. His visit to Belfast gave him
good hint that the Obstetrics would
not accept a direct proposal implying
home rule. But it is believed that they
might be induced to enter into a con-
certed plan which could possibly be
arranged to meet their most serious
objections Mr.. Asquith will visit Cork
tomorrow to gather further opinions.
He has, however, not arranged to see
the politicians. Most Of those with
whom he will confer are of the literary
and educational classes.

FANTASTIC GOLDFISH.
Some Curious Shapes Produced by tn.
Experts Of Japan.

Some Curious Shapes Produced by tho
Exports Of Japan.
Japanese fish breeders took advan-
tage Of one Of natures FRANKS to obtain
this much decorated goldfish. Years
ago a Jap found in his aquarium q fish
with two tails. He was so well pleased
with the novelty that he undertook to
make it the basis of new type. Thus
the one accident by nature became the
grandfather Of race of two tailed fish,
We call them Japanese fantails.
Not satisfied with the double tail, the
breeders next set about molding the
bodies of their fish into round balls.
Breeders first picked out the fish with
the shortest bodies and bred them ev-
cry year by painstaking selection. Fish
with shorter and shorter bodies were
produced until today the accepted type
of japanese fantail has body as
round as a ball.
Not all fantails are alike. One with
the ends of the tail cut off fat is called
the square tail. Another with slight
inward curve to the edges Of the tail is
called veil tail. A third, with deep
cut out tail, is named the ribbon tail.
All these varieties have long tails and
fins. You will recognize them instant
ly when you see them in an aquarium
floating about like bits Of lace in the
Philadelphia North America"

Of the execution, a heavy fog came
over London. accompanied by thunder
and lightning and torrents Of rain.
These conditions lasted for nearly for
ty-eight hours, and many people be-
lieved that the last day had arrived
When the time fixed for the execution
arrived the assembled crowd cried
shame on the sheriff for hanging man
when the world was coming to an end
AS he persisted in his preparations
they burst through the barriers and
stopped the proceedings, shouting that
the culprit might as well wait few
minutes, when the grand summons
would come to all. The sheriff had to
obtain the assistance of a force of SOL
diers before the execution could be car
ried out.

submitting the proposition to vote OF
the full membership, which comprises vir-

1t was said that Mr. Buchanan conceiv-
ed the idea and that officials of the
American Federation Of Labor welcomed
it with enthusiasm.
I'VE feel.'' said Secretary Schiller to-
night, that with the backing Of the q
100000 members of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor our efforts to improve
conditions in the literary world will OBJ
tain more respectful hearing. Already
we have accomplished many reforms, but
there still are important corrections to be
made. Broadly speaking, the relations OF
authors with publishers, theatrical and
motion picture managers hitherto have
been one-sided and what we aim to do Is
to make them two-sided."
The Authors League of America was
organized in December, 1912, and now has
more than 1900 members. According to
Secretary Schiller plan is being worked
out to invite newspaper writers to join

and the boatmen will not receive theil
The National Gamers Association has
appointed inspectors to visit all sardine
factories with strict orders to reject al
herring containing red feed, which is the
natural food of fish at certain times in
the canning season. If, however, schools
of herring are allowed to remain in the
weirs for II hours or more all the red
feed will have become digested and the
herring are then fit for canning.
Two boatloads of herring have been
recently seized and condemned at East.

telligent enough to judge what is the
proper kind Of herring to take into his
boat from the Canadian weirs.
