SCHOOL BOARD HAS FIGHT FOR ENGINEER (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAQB.J the report first read should hav prior consideration. President Wanner said he could not aee that the report referred to was in the minority, inasmuch as each was signed by seven, members of the committee.

However, if it was elected to designate it as a minority repart parliamentary usage prescribed that such report1 has the privilege of prior consideration. A vote was then taken, after which a division was demanded. A viva voce vote resulted in the passage of Mr. Lotz's motion, 38 years to 18 nays. The report designated as the minority was then read again, after which Mr.

Lotz moved its adoption. Mr. Becker said he considered the matter a strange one as, in committee, only five votes had been cast for Mr. Schoellkopf, while there were eight for Mr. Noonan.

At this Juncture Mr. Witman moved that the entire matter be referred back to committee. This found a prompt second, but, when put to a vote, the motion was lost.

The aboriginal blacks of Australia have a queer tradition about the flood They say that at one time there was no water on the earth at all, except in the body of an immense frog, where men and women could not get it.

There was a great council on the subject, and it was found out that if the frog could be made to laugh the waters would run out of his mouth and the drought be ended. So several animals were made to dance and caper before the frog to induce him to laugh, but he did not even smile, and so the waters remained in his body. Then someone happened to think of the queer contortions. into which the eel could twist itself, and it was straightway brought before the frog. And when the frog saw the wriggling he laughed so hard that the whole earth trembled, and the waters poured out of his mouth a great ilood.

In which many people were drowned. The black people were saved from drowning by the pelican. This thoughtful bird made a big canoe and went with it all among the Islands that appeared here and there above the surface of the wattr and gathered in tli 3 black people and saved them.

July 17. Robert Cruit, a New York: advertising agent, got a divorce from his wife, Nellie Jewett Crult. Chancellor Magie signed the final decree In Trenton. In his application for a divorce Cruit alleged that his wife eloped with the Rev. Henry Jescheke, formerly the pastor of the Unitarian church, of Ridgewood, Bergen county.

The testimony was taken before Town Attorney Edwin B. Good ell. of this place, who acted as a special master in chancery. Cruit declared that his wlfa had left him more than a year ago. There are three children, ranging from 7 to 13 years old.

Cruit testified that his wife made the acquaintance of the preacher two years ago, when she and her family were guests at the old Can istear House, near Stockholm. Benson F. Snyder, the proprietor of the hotel, then took up the story. He testified that he had seen Mrs. Crult and Mr.

Jescheke out driving together, and Mrs. Cruit, in order to escape identification, hid behind a rain curtain. Snyder kept a watchful eye upon them, and noticed that the minister visited Mrs. Cruit often. He also surmised that he came to the hotel at night' and.

with the aid of two neighbors, he watched in a log cabin on the lawn and awaited developments. They did not have to wait long when they noticed some signals made wit. a lamp at Mrs. Cruit's window. Shortly after midnight a man walked, across the lawn toward the front door of the hotel and was about to en ter when the landlord pounced upon him and threatened to shoot "him if ua insisted upon going into the house.

The visitor attempted to enter by another door, and Snyder fired four shots at him, none of which took effect, and the man escaped through the door. Then the three men made a rush for the house, and discovered the Rev. Mr. Jescheke under a table in the dining room. He was almost prostrated with fright.

Mrs. Cruit came down stairs and begged the landlord to let him re main in the house. She confessed her infatuation for the man, and said her nusoana Knew sne could never care tor him again. She also added that her church taught that as long as a woman cared for only one man there was no sin. Mr.

Snyder said he was induced by the entreaties of the woman and the condition of the clergyman to let him stay in the house, with the result that Mrs. Cruit kept him in her apart ments for two days, bringing him food and other necessities. This testimony was corroborated by Albert S. Leeper, of Sussex, and Charles D. Day, of Canistear.

Neither Mrs. Cruit nor Mr. Jescheke offered any evidence in rebuttal, and allowed the case to go by default. Mr. Cruit is at present spending the summer at St.

Anthony Park, Minn. The custody of his three children was given to him. DETAILS OF THE FIGHTING. New Tork, July 17. Details of the fighting between Guatemalan and Sal vadorean troops have reached this city from San Salvadorean sources.

Salvador, it is stated, though illy prepared for war, won every battle. The fighting was unusually hard for Central Americans, as can be seen from the casualties. Salvador lost about 700 killed and 1100 wounded. Guatemala had 2800 killed and 3900 wounded. General egaldo, it is stated, was killed while on a reconnoltering trip and while a mile in advance of his main a rmy.

He had but 60 men and officers with him and every man of them was killed. The advices state that Regaldo and his men gave a good account of themselves before they were exterminated. After the main force came up and routed the Guatemalans more than 600 dead Guatemalans were found on the field. In that battle Salvador captured Guatemala's artillery. The result of this fight was that Gua temala asked for peace, but Salvador refused.

The two a rmles were face to face, prepared for more fighting, when President Roosevelt's telegram was received and conditions changed. The armies are still in the field awaiting peace developments.

Will Birds am Itlsmras. Far up In the mountains of Ceylon there Is a spider that spins a web llko bright yellowish silk, the central net of which Is five feet In diameter, while the supporting lines or guys, as they are called, measure sometimes ten or twelve feet. The spider seldom bites or stings, but should any one try to catch him bite he will, and, though not venomous, bis jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak. The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. So strong are the webs that birds the size of larks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim.

A writer says that be has often sat and watched the monster measuring, when waiting for bis prey, with his legs stretched out, fully six inches striding across the middle of the net and noted the rapid manner In which he winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the colls about the bead until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the Jungle you come across skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snares. ENGRAVED PICTURES, Their Romantic Origin Dates Illicit to the Fifteenth Century. The art of engraved pictures dates its romantic origin to tho chamber of a Florentine goldsmith, Maso Finlguerra, In the fifteenth century, about the time that Gutenberg was struggling with his printing from movable types.

Before that day pictures were drawn or painted by hand. Finlguerra was a celebrated worker in metals, and, being commissioned to make a pax of gold engraved with a coronation of the Virgin, he sought to test his design by filling in the lines with a preparation of oil and lampblack, which threw the picture into relief. By chance the face was laid face downward on a piece of damp linen, and when taken up it was discovered that the picture was printed. Sheet after sheet of damp paper was impressed by the same plate and the good news that the art of printing pictures was born spread like wildfire throughout Europe. The collection of old prints Introduces Albrech Durer, the "father of line engraving" (1471) in four brilliant impressions of "Adam and Eve," "Little Horse," "Melancholia" and "St.

Gerome." "Melancholia" is a strange composition of extraordinary originality, and has been a mystery for over four centuries. This bit of yellowed paper, possibly pulled from the plate by Durer's own hands, has lost none of its fascination. Chicago Post. NO SENTIMENT IN SIGHS. They Are Slmplr Caused ty m.

Desire For More Breath. The sigh, which from time immemo rial and by all the poets whoever sung has been regarded as a matter of sen timent and connected with the emo tions, is declared by physicians to be as purely a physical phenomenon as is the sneeze or cough. A well known Philadelphia doctor, speaking of this the other day, explained that the sigh Is nature's method of making one take a deep breath. When the lungs have been getting insufficient air a sigh Is the means by which they are replenish ed, or when the air has been Impure the sigh which one often takes in stepping out into the open air is from the same cause. The doctor admitted that people sometimes sigh from sorrow or other mental 111, but maintained that this is partly because it has been accepted as the expression of grief through ages a long as kissing and handshaking have been accepted as signs of affection or friendship.

Another reason why a sigh follows a sorrowful thought is that such thoughts are often concentrated and Intense enough to cause insuffi cient breathing. When the lungs suffer for a certain time from this insufficiency the sigh follows. Sighs are often caused, too, says the same authority, by certain sorta of indigestion, Philadelphia Record. An Asielesit Recipe. ancient recipe for making a sweet perfume for the ladies runs as follows: Take storax, calamlto and benjamin of each half an ounce, laudanum one ounce, musk two grains, and put them together in a fair brass mortar, which you must first warm so hot in the fire that with the beat thereof and beating with a little pestle it may work like wax.

which, being thoroughly wrought, you may make it in little cakes or balls and so lay it up. Homo Notes. A Marine Fire Alarm. Many ships have a pipe running from the bold to the deck. It Is a precau tion against fir.
