Fair Overseas visitor-And, my
dear, they're just the cIeanest boys

day they sent their things to the laun-
dry. for the major took us all over the
barracks and there wasn't a sheet or
pillow slip in sight anywhere! And

HER LAST EXPERIMENT
Old Story Of the Fatal Attraction Of
Fire to the Childish Mind 10
Repeated-victim Dies
In Delirium.

Chicago.-Despite the prompt at
tempts of two boys to save her,
Wealthie Lunde, ~fve-year-old girl,
who played with a match, lies dead.
The accident occurred Sunday.
About even o'clock Wealthie, who is
the daughter Of a railroad bookkeeper
living at 1927 Norwood street, came
into the house.
"It's time for you to go to bed"
she was told, but Wealthie wanted a
few minutes more of play. There
was a great experiment which she
must try before she could sleep-an
experiment with a match, which she
is thought to have, takenefrom a neigh
boris apartment.
Found Writing on Craze
In about ten minutes Miss Lasette
Calmelat, a guest of Wealthie's moth
er, heard screams coming from the
direction of the alley. She rushed to
the rear door, but by that time the
sounds came from the front of the
house. Hurrying to the sidewalk, she
found little Wealthie writhing on the
grass, severely burned. Two boys
ere bending over her.
Miles Devine, fourteen-year-old son
f John J. Devine, 1913 Norwood
street, was playing ball with James
Fitzgerald, 1852 Norwood street, who
= H
is two years his junior.
Suddenly" said Miles, 81 heard
screams, and she came running out
between the houses. She was all
afire.
"'I'm burning she called. Put me
out! Put me out!'
James was the nearest to her and
she ran toward him. He tripped her,
and we both rolled her on the grass
to smother the flame. l beat out
some of it with my hands. Then a
man came along and carried her into
the house"

BOILING WATER IN OCEAN NEAR
 THE INDIES

That a large area of the sea living north of the South American coast an dsoutheast of the West Indies is now a seething mass of boiling wat CT from which clouds of vapor rise and which hinder navigation, and the temperature of which is hot en- ough to cook eggs and spoil cargoes of fish, is the remarkable story being brought to Freeport. Texas, by Capt Isaac German, of the fishing smack Isabel last week.
 Captain 0or--.an declares that he sailed for six hours drought the boil ing seas and that during that time his cargo of several thousand pounds of fish spoiled and had to be dumped overheard. He also says sailors on the Isabel cooked eggs in the sea as his vessel passed through the boiling water and that life on the ship be- neune almost unbearable because of the extreme heat and the nauseating stench which filled the air.
 Clouds of vapor.
 ''We struck the boiling waters when some 500 miles from our port" said Captain German We had cap tured large amount of fish and since our ice was limited, were mak- ,ng all speed for home. Early one morning I noticed clouds of vapor rising straight aehead The heat be-

came more apparent. We thought the vaIpor was but fog which we frequently find in that part of the sea-and sailed into it.
 "As We struck the area overhuns by vapor We learned our mistake. In. stead of being an ordinary fog and an ordinary sea We found iboiling water Thinking that a small area had become affected by volcanic ac. tion We steered ahead and continued to so steer, believing every moment that We were about to clear the seething seas. until we covered al- most 100 miles.
 Cargo Ruined.
 During our passage through this boiling area the entire cargo of tho Isaba was ruined. The waters so heated the sides and bottom of the vessel that the fish rotted and the
 
 sea, made many of the sailors sick. We were compelled to dump the car. % overheard and return home empty.
 During cur run through these boil ing waters-a'bout six hours -sever. al of the men on board dipped small sacks Of eggs into the sea. These were cooked in short time. Sailors drew water up in buckets and found it to be heated to a high degree"
 Captain German declares he has sailed the gulf for thirty years and never saw anything like the discovery he has just made, nor experienced any thing like what he had just gone through
