Full Days .

Was in Richmond. Several Miles from
Cottage - Searching Party Planned
to Leave BrattIebor0 This Morning
Probably Lost His Way.

John J. Eekles of TSrattleboro, who
disappeared Monday morning from
cottage which he and his family were
occupying at Forest lake, Winchester.
\. H., was found early this morning by
4 farmer in Richmond, N H., few
miles from the lake, who saw him
walking along the road. He appeared to
be in fairly good health, but was ner-
yous and somewhat weak
Notice was sent to the family at the
cottage and an automobile was secured
and Mr.. Eckels was taken to the cot y
tage, where he viii remain until the
family returns next Tuesday He re-
members leaving the cottage for a walk
Monday but scarcely can believe that
he was gene three days. 1t is thought
he lost his way and fell asleep When
found he was walking toward Winehes-
ter and was called into the farmhouse
and was given d breakfast
NJ. j. Moran, who was notified yester-
day afternoon of the disappearance of
Mr. Eckels, had gotten together a party
OF searcheTs who were to leave the 5.
A. Smith Mfg. Co.'S factory at clock
this morning to go to Forest lake to
search, but news that Mr. Eckels had
been found was received Just before the
time set for leaving. Mr.. Eckels has
been employed by the S. A. Smith Mfg.
Co.. many years.
Mr.. Eekels and family went to Forest
lake last week Tuesday for a vacation
of two weeks. On several occasions
when he left the cottage for a walk he
| inquired of different ones the way back,
| SO 1t is not considered strange that he
lost his way this time.
| Between 8 and Q O'Clock Monday
morning as Mrs Ecilels was leaving the
home of DR.. A. ]. LobdeH, where she
| had been after milk, she met Mr.. Ec-
| kels. who said he was going for a walk
| Later that forenoon Mrs Loring Tay-
| lor, who lives on Taylor hill in Rich
| mond, saw Mr. Eekels in that town.
| about four miles from the cottage, GO
| ing toward the lake She watched him
and saw him turn down a erossroad,
which would have taken him to the
| lake. There is no question from the de
scrlption she gave but that the man
WAS Mr.. Eckels
| Glenroy W. Scott, who has cottage
only few rods from the cottage where
| the Eckels family is staying, went there
| from keene yesterday and he and

CALLED DIRECT GIFT OF. GOD
Arabs Have Pretty Legend Concerning
the Origin Of Their Famous Breed
~ AoraAR

" fNVf0Sos
Abd-Nl-Kader, q man Of rare intel
ngence, descendant Of Mahomet and
valiant leader Of the Algerian tribes
against the French for Is years, wrote
a book ON the Arab horse. A French
general once questioned him regard
ing the origin of that splendid breed
and received the following reply, says
Our Dumb Animals:
"Know. then, that among US it Is
admitted that God created the horse
out of the winds and He created Adam
out of the dust. This cannot be dis
puted. Many prophets have proclaimed
that when God would create the horse
He said to the south wind: I will
bring forth out Of thee creature; be
thou, therefore, condensed
"Then came the angel Gabriel. and,
taking a handful of the matter, pre-
sented 1t to God, who formed there
with q brown bay horse and said: I
name thee Horse and create thee
Arab and give thee a bay color. I
attach blessing to the forelock which
falls between thine eyes; thou shalt
be lord Of all the animals. Thou shalt
By without wings, and from thy back
shall proceed riches Then marked
He him with a star on the forehead,
the sign Of glory and blessing"

Wars Effect on Domestic Animals.
Even the cats and dogs Of Central
Europe have degenerated as result
Of the war, says Prof. Balkanyl, direc-
tor Of the veterinary school Of Buda-
pest. who is investigating how the
habits Of domestic animals have been
influenced by that cause. Most Of the
town-bred cats in this part OF the
world refuse to drink milk because
it Is unknown to them, due to lack Of
milk during the war, the professor
asserts. '-'i.i i+S|H|s
Both dogs and cats are relapsing to
the savage ways Of their untamed an
cestors," he says. 'The vagrancy Of
dogs is startling. Pet dogs elope from
heart-broken mistresses. Joining packs
If many village dogs, where they live
in communist equality"
The same authority says that, be-
sides hydrophobia, nervous diseases
arc very frequent among animals. i
am afraid domestic animals in eastern
Europe are degenerating and that the
stock must be replenished from over
seas.-N1change.

LIGHTNING MADE A SNAPSHOT
Picture Of Railroad Yards Formed on
Window-Expianation Given
by Photographer.

The recent stories of the picture OF
q wreath that appeared on window
pane IN a Columbus residence, and
which glass experts pronounced moth
ing more than a defect In the glass;
which had been there from the time
it was made, but only noticed after
there had been death In the resi-
dence, recalls to a prisoner In the
penitentiary a similar case that came
to his attention when he was en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad
at Altoona, Pm. It was traced to an
other though equally scientific cause.
One night the private car Of Presi-
dent Roberts of that railroad was
shunted onto a siding In the yards at
Altoona and before morning there
came q heavy thunderstorm with In
tensely vivid lightning. Next morn
ing when the cleaning crew began
cleaning the car there was found on
one Of the window panes a very good
picture Of the yards that lay directly
in front Of It. 1t was just like a
fairly well-developed Photographic
plate, and there could be no question
but that the scene in the picture was
the yards before 1t.
A photographer who was called to
look at 1t, concluded that there had
been q thin film Of oil on the window,
which in some way became sensitive
to intense light and fash Of light
ming had imprinted the scene before
the window on the pane. - Columbus

BISHOP RUSSELL MAY
SUCCEED GIBBONS
One of Three Who Probably Will Be
Recommended By Provincial
Conclave.

Baltimore, Nd, March 26.-Balti-
moreans probably will continue to
call the gray home it Charles and
Mulberry streets "The Cardinals
Residence" for many years, but in
the opinion of persons we'll versed
in Catholic church affairs it is likely
to be a long time before the house
will be able to claim another cardi-
nal as its permanent occupant. In
view of the fact that there are two
American cardinals now, and both
in the seat such a probability seems
remote, they are convinced.
The throne in the cathedral upon
which Cardinal Gibbons, who died
yesterday, performed the ecclesias-
tical functions of his high Office
since receiving the red hat in 1886
will be divested of it's brilliant hang
ings of cardinal red which will be re-
placed with the deep purpose of an
archbishop.

MILITARY ALLOTMENTS
WILL EXPIRE JULY 81

Washington, March 26.-Military
allotments and allowances under the
war risk insurance act will expire au-
tomatically on July 81, Comptroller
Warwick, of the treasury holds in a
ruling made public today.
The ruling was based on the
resolution adopted by the last con-
gress repeating most of the special
war time acts. War risk insurance
bureau officials were unable today to
give accurate figures concerning the
number of soldier, sailor and marine
allotments which would be affected
but they said thousands of men still
in the service, both at home and in
the American army on the Rhine.
were maintaining the allotments to
their relatives and that the govern
lment likewise was supplying an equal
amount.
Mr.. Warwick holds that the resolu-
ton repealed the war risk insurance
act within four calendar months after
it's adoption by congress and that
consequently the allowances, made
by the government to equal the allot-
ments of members of the military
forces must cease after July 81.

New Street-Car Idea.

The objections to the so-called
safety cars" which were introduced
during the last few years. have been
met in Seattle by the invention OF
what is called a one-man-two-man
street car. The design Of this car per-
mits Of its being operated in the
slack hours by one man, while in the
busy hours, with a little rearrange-
ment of the interior, 1t is changed
to make provision for the addition
Of a conductor. This Is said to meet
the great criticism Of the safety"
in that SO much time was lost In the
stops when the single attendant was
compelled to take the fares, answer
the questions and attend to the va
rious other matters, with the entrance
