OBSTRUCTION ON RAIL HOLDS UP PASSENGER
 ON |. & N. HALF-H0URI

MOBILE, Ala, Dec 1s.-(Special)- A heavy piece of iron was found wedged between the rails of the crossing of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad and the Mobile Light and Railroad company at Monroe park shortly after , o'clock yester- day afternoon. causing southbound passenger train No. l to be delayed 35 minutes. Coming right behind the throwing of switch at Navaco last Sunday morning, nine miles from Mo mile, caused some excitement. The iron bar in the crossing was an aeci- dent, falling from a freight train.
 The fact that there was something wrong at the crossing was made known when freight train passed over 1t, making an unusual noise and heavy sparks coming from under the wheels of the passing freight cars. Police Officer James, on duty in Oakdale, was notified of the inei- dent and he, in turn, notified the rail road officials. Passenger train No. 1 was stopped this side of the cross ing and after working for 90 min utes the object was removed.
 Railroad detectives at work on the case of the throwing of the switch at Navaco, which q southbound pas senger train ran into. say that the work was done by a demented white man who was seen in the vicinity of venetia and Navaco Tuesday night hiding In tree. This man was also seen, according to the detectives, on Cedar Point road several nights ago.

How Black Cats Got Bad Repuee.

The origin Of the superstitious aver.
sion to black cats is believed to date
back 900 years to the Sevennes noun
tain district Of France. At that time
one William, abbot Of monastery be-
side the river Herault, and before then
a warrior in the Crusades, decided to
build bridge across the swift, noun
tain stream. But as fast as the foun-
dations for the piers were put down
they were swept away by the torrent.
He persisted for long time and ANAL
ly decided that his lack of success was
due to interference by the devil.
He is supposed then to have invoked
the Evil One and made a compact
with him by the terms Of which the
abbot would complete the bridge, but
the frst animal to Cross 1t would be-
long thereafter - the devil. So It

Civ Has Natural Trap.

A peculiar traplike appendage, called
q mask, enables the young dragon fly
to capture the mosquito wriggler on
which it feeds. The mask consists
OF a jointed, articulated arm that is
attached to the under side Of the
head. At the extremity Of this arm
is the mask proper, which consists OF
two folding parts like hands, each OF
which is provided with a row Of small
sharp teeth on itx outer edge.
When a tiny insect passes within
reach of the young dragon fly 1t
suddenly thrusts out the mask, grasps
the insect within it and backs 1t into
the mouth. When this organ IL not
in use it folds back over the head,
covering it like mask.
The young dragon ~ Lives in ponds
and streams; and as 1t II very slow
moving, this trap is Its salvation.
