WRITES HIMSELF TO DEATH
Anaaram Writing From shakespeare's
Works Takes Vitality Of Noted
British Author.

The death Of Capt. Basil Willett
Charles Hood, the British author, was
brought about by his excessive at
tempts at anagram writing from Shake
speare's works, according to testimony
at the inquest in London. He was
fifty-three years old and former Off
Ger Of the Prince Of Wales West York
shire regiment.
The coroner according to the Lon
don Times, said 1t was evident what
caused death. Captain Hood was en-
gagged in a laborious undertaking, con-
structing writing out of the crypto-
grams which he alleged that he found
in Shakespeare.
"There are reams of writing here"
said the coroner. "Every single let
ter is written most carefully, and it
must take months to file all this stuff
about secret writing and various mes
sages which he purported to have
found concealed by means Of cryptic
grams in Hamlet and other plays. 1t
seems to me that he has been working
very late at night and all day at this
rubbish-it cannot be called anything
else-and has been exhausting himself
and wearing out his nervous system by
going without a proper amount of
nourishment because he thought his
brain more active on an empty stom-
ach. All the time he was using his
strength in this way he was exhaust
ing his strength"

CHAPTER III.

It was, after all, the assistant rector
of Saint Jude's who came up the hill
that hot August day. The news of old
Hilary's death had come down from
the city on an early train. The rector
was away on his deferred fishing trip
where, having exchanged his clerical
collar for none at all and having blis-
tered the end of his ecclesiastical nose
he was quite happy.
The assistant, Mr.. Ward, whistled as
he climbed the hill. AS the hill was
steep, this proved two thlngs-his
youth, and his llghtness Of heart. True,
old Hilary Kingston was dead, and vio-
lently done to death. But to Mr.. Ward
death was but the gateway to a larger
life; and only very sad in the young,
who have not yet lived.
Mr.. Ward was young, broad-shoul-
dered young man, with clear, rather
deep-set eyes, and firm mouth. The
people of Saint Jude's prophesled that
the world would hear of Mr.. Ward
There was only one bar to his progress
he had too much humor. 1t seemed to
the people of Saint Jude's that religion
is serious thing, forgetting that good
cheer is one of the things it must bring
and 1t be religion.
Boroday met Ward in the hall. Ole
Hilary was upstairs by that time, lyins
in his great bed. All the doors ant
windows were open, and sunshine filleC
the rooms. Ward thought 1t an un
usually sane house Of mourning.
"Tm glad to see the sum-" he said
$50 many people close things up"
miss Kingston wished things undls
turhed."

If you, drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the truth, you will feel as
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets of New York. So says Rog-
er w. BabsOn, the eminent stats.
tician, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ of
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such high hopes for the lieuten-
ants, sergeants and corporals, the
death rate being very much greater
among officers than among privates.
Also, the mortality is higher among
volunteer corps than among drafted
men. Sixty men per thousand are now
being killed in the war, and about 15O
men out of each thousand are
wounded.

SHORE BIRDS ARE MYSTERY

ton and the annual gift to Saint
Jude's.
As a matter Of fact, the Agrarlan af-
fair was calamitous In several ways. 1t
bore too close q resemblance TO a st.
Louis matter of several years back, In
which Boroday had come under sus-
picion.
On a Tuesday morning, the cash be-
ing more than the bank cared to have
about, two hundred and ten thousand
dollars was sent to the clearing house.
Two clerks from the bank accompanied
the messenger, who went by taxicab.
There are two direct routes to the
clearing house: one along one OF the
great avenues, the other through the
newspaper district. Here, at ten-thirty
in the morning, things are rather quiet,
and except for vans delivering rolls of
paper, there Is little traffic.
The taxicab went by this latter route.
Opposite the Record Office, where the
presses stood, silent monsters waiting
to leap. old Hilary Kingston was
standing, kidglOved and wearing the
gray derby hat he affected. AS the
taxIcab bore down toward him he
hailed 1t.
Taxi I" he called.
The taxicab slowed down. Old Hill
ary, seeing 1t occupied, waved 1t of
with his stick. But 1t had come to
full stop. There was an alleyway be-
side the Record building, and now three
men ran out from there. and thrust re-
volvers through the open windows Of
the cab. After that II was hot work.
Marshall Of the bank went back with a
bullet through his lung. The bank
messenger fred pOintblank, and missed
his target; but old Hilary, gray derby
and all, went down where he stood,
twenty feet away. The uninjured clerk
had an automatic gun, and swept a
circle with 1t over the bag which lay
at his feet. There was no getting in
side that ring Of death. The bandits
retreated, firing as they ran, and
climbed into an automobile up the
street. When the reporters in the Rec
ord office wakened to the fact that
there was a story under their windows,
the street was clear. Only old Hilary
lay dead on the pavement, with bullet
in his head.
The chauffeur of the taxicab drove
madly to the hospital with Marshall,
who was dying, and then to police
quarters, where he gave himself up. He
was released, of course. His name was
Walter Huff. He was shown to be q

cATERPILLARs CAUSE Rash
Several Cases Of Blood Poisoning Re-
ported at Emergency Hospital ef
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood pol.
soning and body rash caused by a
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the emergency hos
pItal, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean R. Daynes of S76 South West
Temple street, appealed to the city
officials for advice In regard to rash
that had broken out on her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call In a physician Immediately.
"Caterpillars are the larvae of a
lepldopterous insect, not necessarily a
butterfly. in the first stage Of meta
morphosls," according to Webster. The
larvae of such insects as the geom-
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have a pencil
of hairs that look like horns and a
fasicule of hairs that resembles tall.
1t is the sting from these hairs that
pOisons, as it is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case Of a caterpillar sting has
proved fatal, so far as the officials OF
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them.
George williams, thirty-eight years
old, of 537 South West Temple, also
of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by a caterpillar while in bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
WAS treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar witt
him.

One Year to Travel 25 Miles.

Rudolph Henderson, chief of the
Southern party of Stefensson arctic
expedition, has received letter from
Rev. H. Girlin& Emanuel, Saskatoon
who for the last three years has been
trying to reach the so-called blond
Eskimos. The little boat in which
three missionaries comprising the
party were travelling was blown up
by an explosion last spring, and they
lost the greater part Of their supplies.
In years time the party had sue
ceeded in travelling only 25 miles along

Tatooine Horsea' Ears.

AS a means of identifying horses
and other animals, many breeders tat
too a number on the inside of the ear
of each animal in their studs, flOcks or
herds, this number serving as an in
dex to the record of it's pedigree. Fig
ures which are to identify the animal
are put in the slotted jaw of q punch
made for the purpose, and after the
jaws of the punch have been closed
down on the ear india ink is rubbed
into the punctures. When the skin
heals over this ink the animal is
marked for life.
With some kinds of horses, such as
Percherons and Suffolks, which often
are all of one color, without distin-
gushing white marks, some such Sys-
tenn of marking is essential to keep ac-
curate records for registration. APP
piled to race horses and trOtters, it
prevents the substitution of one horse
for another, or ringing" as 1t is
called, and makes it possible to iden-
tify animals with certainty wherever
they are found.-New York Herald.

Thunder is the sound made by the
lightning, which in turn, is momen-
tary electric current through the air.
The air in the path Of this current Is
heated very quickly, expands and hits
the surrounding air. This causes a
sound wave to travel outward from all
parts of this path. Sound goes at the
rate of 1000 feet per second in air,
being more than this in. heated air.
The rumble is made by only one flash.
But as this has a path all of whose
points are not the same distance from
the observer, the sound made at the
more distant points gets in a little
later than that made at those nearby.
All thunder has some rumble, for the
