District Attorney Lewis this after
noon questioned George II. hccui-
Tough. the taxi driver who drove
the two robbers from the Hotel
Navarro IN Manhattan TO within ono
block OF the Bast Brooklyn Savings
Bank. Mccullough " being held on
a homicide charge.

Is telling all that he knows Of the
afrair," said Mr. Lewis later. q can
not understand why Mccullough
steered such xig-zag course through
the streets OF Brooklyn after the hold
up. He says he did so because he
was afraid OF being shot.
"McCullough's car is not equipped
WITH a self starter and while standing
at th corner near the bank he kept the
motor running. I think II a suspicious
circumstance that, when he saw the
two men coming toward him with
smoking pistols and the crowd scat
tering in all directions, he speeded
up his motor and held the taxicab
door open when he might easily have
made his own escape without them"
WOUNDED DETECTIVE TELLS
STORY OF ROBBERY.
There was no revolver pointed at
Mccullough when the automobile with
tho two bandits drove away after the
robbery, according to Detective Al
bert c. Doody. who was wounded in
the running fight between the bank
and the car. There are bullet wounds
In Doody's left side and in his left
arm. which Is fractured.
81 was standing at Myrtle and
Franklin Avenues when l heard the
burglar alarm outside the bank" said
the detective to-day in the williams
burg Hospital. Then heard a
woman scream that the bank had
been robbed and that the robbers
were running toward Kent Avenue.
II drew my gun and chased the two
men, closing in on them near Kent
Avenue. They fired at me and felt
hot sting In the left side returned
the fire just as the short man climbed
into the taxi. He was carrying the
money bag. Close behind him was
the tall man.
Just as the tall man stepped on the
running board he turned and fired at
me again. I continued TO return the
fire and closed in on the machine,
shouting to tho chauffeur to throw
up his hands. He did not do 1t and
before i had a chance to say any
thing more the tall man fired again
and got bullet in my left arm.
IT continued TO fire as the car
drove off and l am almost sure that
one o my shots went through the
back OF the car and hit the man
inside.
"The last thing l remembered was
trying to reload my gun. After that

arms OF a passing man. When re-
gained consciousness another man ran
up to me and asked me for my gun,
saying: TN finish It for you

Early History of Gas.

Gas for street lighting was first
used in PAIL Mall. London, more than
a century ago. A few experimental
gas lights previously had been used in
Golden Lane, but 1t was not until q
few years later that the new form Of
illumination was generally adopted In
London streets. The first attempt to
introduce the use of gas in America
was In Baltimore in 1919, The project
was unsuccessful. In 1922 1t was in
troduced In Boston. and In the follow.
Ing year New York streets were light
ed by gas. The system did not prove
successful. however. until 1921 The
use of gas spread rapidly to other cities
in the United States and Canada.
Rosin and oil were used for producing
gas IN America In the early days OF
the industry. Until half a century ago
the price thousand feet ranged up "a
ST, the average being about $3.50.

Interesting stories have been told OF
the quaint social features of bird life.
The social intercourse OF birds Is a
subject which bird lovers study with
especial consideration. Man was not
the first, 1t appears, TO devise a tri-
bunal for the trial of some one accused
of crime. II the ornithologists are cor
rect, he was at one time In medieval
history far behind the feathery tribes
in the system of melting out justice
10 wrongdoers.
Rocks hold court when one OF their
number Is caught in theft or other
misdemeanor. The culprit sits within
a circle Of rocks who cry out against
him. He proclaims his innocence or
guilt, as the case may be, by shrieking
loudly. II he is considered guilty by
the bird assembly, at signal the fock
pounces upon him and tears him 10
pieces.
Justice IS not done halfway by the
birds.
The rock court has been actually Oh
served many times by bird students.

FORCED RIVER BELOW GROUND
Clever Piece Of Work Which Must Be
Placed to the Credit of English
Engineers.

A novel piece Of engineering has
been completed In connection with the
building IF an aviation field in Eng
land. The site selected was @ pleas
ant piece OF countryside. consisting Of
a wooded park. bisected by little
stream about 30 feet wide and : feet
deep. This waterway Is largely artt-
fetal In character. 1t was constructed
mainly along a branch Of the River
Colne in 1898 and 1889. between Long
ford and Hampton Court palace, with
the object Of supplying the palace with
ornamental fish and water ponds. and
It was used for this purpose up 10 the
present time II is II miles long.
The decision TO convert the park into
an aerodrome made II necessary to d.
vert this river, which, being raised
above the level of the ground where it
crosses the park. presented an obsta-
Gle as well as a danger. Had the river
been running In natural bed below
the level Of the ground. instead of In
an artificial channel above the ground
level, IL could have been merely COW
cred over The need for putting II at
lower level led to the decision TO
carry ii underground through the aero
drome by means of REINFORCED con-
crete inverted syphon, and this plan
having been approved of, a detailed
scheme was got out.-Scientific Ameri

WHY ADVERTISE ONES WoES7

Common Among unthinking Pec-
pie Of Both Sexes.

It is surprising TO see how quickly a
overcast the fair blue sky of lovely
summer day. Just as swiftly can the
Ill hunor or iii health OF one or two
persons put damper on a group Of
people.
We all know the woman who IL con-
stantly complaining of her chronic
headache, her rheumatism, or the
trouble she has with her servants; We
stand in awful terror of the man who
with almost demoniac gee-goes
into all the grewsome details Of his
last operation; we groan-mentally. at
least--when made TO listen to the
youth or maiden whose personal dis
tresses monopoiize the conversation.
Each one Is as welcome to an assem-
bly, of congenial souls as Is the pro-
verbal flea TO the equally proverbiai
three-legged dog.
1t Is q capital idea for each of Us to
remember that our own experiences
are rarely as interesting to others as
TO ourselves. unless told with the touch
Of an artist; and that fewer things are
more difficult or more unpleasant to
listen to than the recital of another s
woe, particularly If that other is not a
intimate friend" In need OF special
advice and sympathy.
Let us keep the accounts of our
grievances locked within our breasts
until the tiny golden key Of fitting op-
portunity is presented, and face the
world with the countenance Of q cheer
full stole and the consideration of Sir
Philip Sidney, Only thus may we be
sure OF creating about us an atmos-
phere Of gentle breeding and good
manners. Elizabeth Van Rensselaer,.

TO ASCERTAIN OCEANS DEPTH
Scientist Has Suggested That Method
Of Sound May Be Employed With
Good Results.

Three-quarters of the earths sur
face is submerged and has not yet been
explored to any great degree, Alexan-
der Graham Bell writes In the Youths
Companion. The only way we have OF
reaching the mountains and valleys at
the bottom of the sea is by sending
down sounding line and bringing up
specimen of the bottom attached to
the sinker. It is not easy, however, to
reach the bed of the sea through a
mile or two miles of water and 1t re-
quires several hours to take single
sounding. 1t il therefore expensive
both In time and In labor to ascertain
the depth Of the ocean
Why not send down sound Instead
and listen to the echo from the bot
tom? Knowing the velocity Of sound
In water Give times It's velocity In air.
and the time taken for the echo to
reach the ear, we should be able to as
certain the depth OF the deepest part
of the ocean In few seconds.
Here is an idea that would certainly
appear to be worth trying. / have sug-
gested 1t several times, but I do not
know that It has ever been acted upon.
The experiment might reveal not only
the depth Of the ocean but something
Of the nature of the bottom. A fiat
bottom should give single sharp re-
turn, whereas an undulating bottom
should give n multiple echo, such as
you hear when pistol is fred among
hills. Many important conclusions
might be drawn from the facts so OBJ
tanned.

BY ARTHUR T.. MANN


LONDON. Sept 17.-There will be
no peace conference in the ordinary
historic sense of the term-much
less the kind proposed In the Austro-
Hungarian note.
The United Press learned today
that this is substantially the allied
attitude toward the Austrian commu-
nication. The deails OF the allies
peace terms already have been form
ulated. Most OF them have been stat
ed. The most intricate and detailed
questions, particularly with regard
to Russia, the Balkans and Turkey
are now being studied in the allied
foreign offices. and their positions
thereon are in the process of formu-
lation.
When the central forces yield to
military and naval pressure. and
show reason to make a general CON
ference worth while. the allied and
American delegates will consider the
Teutonic pleas.
