Appetite Is For
Razor Blades and
Formaldehyde! F!
Native of Barbados Says He Ate
Them for the Pleasure
Also Liked Hot Iron.

Spartanburg, s. C.-Newspaper
men and physicians of this city have
discovered a colored man who eats
razor blades for fun and Is said to
have often drunk quart of en-
balming fluid just before going to his
work as stoker of a furnace at the
local telephone exchange. The man
Is Smith Thomas, and he comes from
the Barbados.
There is no trick or necromancy in
Thomas strange appetite. He simply
eats razor blades because he enjoys
them. A newspaper man, inclined to
doubt the stories of Thomas appetite,
made an investigation. Thomas ad-
mitted his unusual preference for
sharp steel. The newspaper man
bought a package of razor blades and
game them to Thomas. He immedi-
ately crunched them between his
teeth, TIE cracking blades making a
sound resembling the crunching of
parched peanuts.
Doctor Makes X-Ray.
DIR. C. w. Barron of Columbia Uni
versity was called in to make an
X-Ray examination of Thomas stom-
ach, and found minute pieces of steel
scattered throughout his system.
The newspaper man also watched
Thomas eat glass and run a sharp
pin through his arm. He was in the
British army during the war, ,and al
though wounded several times, de-
clared that the wounds never bled.
Thomas declared that he began eat
ing razor blades when boy of eight.
He is now nearly fifty. He declares
that in his younger days he used to
lick red hot iron, dance on glass and
sharp swords, eat tacks and the like.
While talking to- the newspaper man
he swallowed a lighted cigarette he
was smoking to prove that he can
stand such pain-provoking acts with
out flinching. Wood alcohol, it seems.
is like so much water to him.
Physicians will make further in
vestigation of the strange case.

Sir George Sitweil, the dis
tinyuished antiquarian, formerly OF
Oxford, who has made several visits
to the ancient Indian centers OF this
continent, has recently begun the am
bilious work of restoring n fortified
Italian castle of Dante's day, and re-
producing the domestic life of that
turbulent period. This is the castle
OF Montequifons. about twelve miles
from Florence, and the stronghold
of the ilIustrious family of Accea-
cuoli, now extinct This memorable
pile, which figures in the most san
culinary struggles Of the Guelphs and
scribed by Dante. has been the prop
erty OF Tuscany since 1892. when the
last OF the limo died. and H. was de-
scrlhed as "tenantless" when Sir
George Sitwcll purchased IL as mu-
scum for Etrurian and medieval
curios. But on taking possession he
found IT far from lacking tenants.
for In the ninety odd years since the
last lord of Montequijons had passed
away, the peasants on the place had
gradually taken possession and built
houses on the roof. between the
the inner court until more than
three hundred had found shelter in
the castle proper, with about nifty
others in the crenalted tower, which
is the most modern part of the struc-
ture. This was built by Donata

is always an incongrUous object, and
until recently neither furniture mas

which pleased those who wanted a

not wish to spoil the artistic beauty

parts are dull gold, while instead of
the usual shining surface Of ma

S1,5lO,O)C IN PLAN
FOR STREET LIGHTS
Engineer Commissioner Bell
Considering Scheme for
Improvement of System.

Engineer Commissioner Bell yes
terday began an intensive study OF
the S1,50O,O0O plan recently prepared
for the renovation of Washington
street lighting system.
The major conferred at length with
several members of the committee
which aided Capt. John T.. Noou,
assistant engineer commissioners, III
working out the scheme.
The Commissioners in framing thelr
original estimates for next year con-
sidered an item of several hundred
thousand dollars to begin the new
street lighting program, but whether
this item has survived the cutting of
the estimates could not be learned
definitely yesterday.
Additional sum Estimated.
The belief prevails, however, that
the Commissioners have asked for
some additional funds for street light
ing in their supplemental estimates.
In his conference with the COM
mittee yesterday Maj. Bell had be-
fore him the map. showing the i'm
provements in lighting contemplated
Tor each section of the District.
Under the plan as il now stands
there would be a dozen different types
Of light, placed according to the char
acter of the street.
Water and sewers Also Considered.
Although Maj. Bell is keenIy in
terested in seeing the lighting pro-
gram carried out as rapidly as pos
stble, he is known TO be of the opinion
that the demand for sewer and water
main extensions is more imperative
TO the health and comfort of the com
munity.

NIGHT SCHOOL RULING
TO SATISFY TEACHERS

An arrangement through a ruling.
which will preclude those teaching in
both the day and night schools for four
years consecutively from taking night
school classes again this year will
be worked out by school officials. Super
intendent Frank w Ballou said yester-
day afternoon following a lengthy con-
/ ference with the teachers and night
school principals. The ruling is de-
signed to conserve the teachers now
in the service and affects about 25 per
cent of the night school teachers.
DR.. Ballou was urged to set the
ruling aside until Congress passes a new
salary bill. The teachers pointed out
that they are forced TO take extra work
in the night schools in order to make
livelihood. If forced out Of the night
schools by the ruling the teachers con
tend that they will be compelled to
turn to other employment and thus
inadvertently defeat one OF the aims of
the ruling.
The superintendent will confer with
Walter B. Patterson and W. S. Mont
gomery, officials of the white and colored
night schools, respectively, before talk
ing any further steps to modify the
ruling to make it satisfactory with the
teachers.
