Crawford avenue, and one of his boy friends of aJboiit the same age were severely injured at 8 o'clock evening while coasting on the pavement Sixth and Seventh avenues on Twelfth street, when they ran Into the corner of G. iL. Dwyer'a plumbing shop.

The boys were riding on the same sled and it gained such speed that they became excited and lost control. Mr. Dwyer was in his office at the time of the accident and ran to the assistance of the boys, bringing them into his establishment, where first aid treatment was applied. It was round that the Curry boy was unconscious and a local physicial was im- mediately summoned. A thorough ex.

amination of the boys was made with a view to ascertaining the extent of their injuries, and it was found that John Curry had two teeth knocked out, his tongue and left hand severely lacerated and possibly internal injuries. His companion, however, was more fortunate, having sustained only a number of minor contusions at different parts of his body. The boys were removed to their respective homes, and while it is not thought that John Curry is seriously injured, special medical attention will be necessary in order to prevent the development of any infections.

So the Honorable Thomas R. Marshall never hesitates to tell this on himself: It was at a reception in Indianapolis which took place when the Bulgarian army was driving the Turks out of Thrace.

The battle of Kirk Kellsseb had just been fought "Odd name that Kirk Kellsseh," said the then governor of Indiana. "It means 'Forty or, rather, mosques. Now, Isn't it queer that the word which, as we all know, stands for 'church' in the Scotch vernacular, and which appears in German and other languages of northern Europe, should have precisely the same meaning in Turkish! It makes us wonder whether all tongues may not have had a common source, and if that is so It would probably be found that that source was in the There was murmured applause from every one except an unobtrusive little professor, who had been hovering near the group. "Pardon me, governor," he piped up, "but your conclusions, while interesting, might be called er, a little misleading. It is perfectly true that Kirk Kelisseh is the Turkish for 'Forty but it is the word 'kellsseh' that means a place of worship, while 'kirk' means And tbe prof essor was right New York Sun.

A South Pole Hero. Captain Roald Amundsen, the Nor wegian who put the south pole on the map, was born in Sarpsburg, Norway, July 10, 1872. His youth wa3 spent in Chrlstianla and on board sealers and whalers commanded by his father, Captain Jens Amundsen. He was twentv-fivo when ho entered on' his first south polar trip as the first officer of the Belgica expedition. This journey lasted two years and filled the young sailor with aspirations for further explorations in the frozen regions.

His parents wanted him to become a physician, and he spent a year in a medical college. Later he went to Germany to study sciences that would aid him as an explorer. His first notable feat was to take a ship through the northwest passage, and on this trip ho twice wintered in the ice. New York World. Not Catching.

GIGANTIC SEA WAVES. Force of Those Raised by Earthquakes or Violent Storma. The term tidal wave is erroneously applied to almost any unexpected wave that Inundates the seacoast or tbe shore of a great lake. These waves are rarely it ever due to the tides since the real tidal wave Is a phenomenon admitting of exact calculation and prediction, but they may be traced usually to some distant earthquake or violent storm. When an earthquake occurs beneath the sea the vertical movements of the sea bed generate a great wave, which is propagated outward from the center of tbe shock and reaches the land after the arrival of the earth wave.

In the open sea this wave is so broad that it cannot be perceived, but when it reaches shallow water near the shore it rushes forward as an immense breaker, sometimes sixty feet or more high and overwhelming everything in its course. The sandy beach deposits and loose' bowlders are swept away, while inland the surface is strewn with debris. The velocity of these great sea waves is greater than the ordinary waves raised by the wind. A submarine earthquake near the coast of Japan in 18o4 gave rise to sea waves which traversed the whole breadth of the Pacific at a rate of about 370 miles an bour. At Smoda, Japan, the waves, were thirty' feet high, while at San Diego, they measured only six inches.

Such an earthquake wave near the coast of Peru once lifted a gunboat of the United States navy and landed it a mile inland. Kansas City Star. What It-Instinct? Instinct is a generic term comprising all those faculties of mind which lead to the conscious performance of actions that are adoptive in character, but pursued without necessary knowledge of the relation between the means employed and the ends attained. It is hardly necessary to remark that sometimes "instinct" comes so close to "reason" that' it is almost impossible to distinguish between them. New York American.

Kean's Contrivance to Make the Shade of Banquo Realistic. I think it was Charles Kean who first resorted to illusion to make a stage ghost a little transparent, says a writer in London Tit-Bits. When he produced "Macbeth" at the old Princess' theater lie manufactured a contrivance, which allowed Banquo's ghost to appear through a transparent column. Later when Mrs. Ann Radcliffe's "Romance of the Forest" was staged at Covent Garden theater, those responsible for its production arranged that the spook In tbe piece should be seen by the audience through a gauze of bluish gray color, so that the too corporeal effect of a live actor might be removed.

When the old playhouse in Drury lane opened, in 1794, with a performance of "Macbeth," Banquo's ghost was omitted. Although Mr. Kemble's acting, was fine enough to make the audience almost believe that they really the, ghost, yet the people were not satisfied until the system they had' been used to was readopted and Banquo's shade allowed to trot bodily across the boards. Reflecting mirrors and the cinemato graph are coming in general use at the theaters, and with them it has been- found possible to manufacture ghosts capable of striking terror into the hearts of all followers of the occult Rudeness About Doors. Never mind if you do not happen to know the person who is coming behind you.

But in scores of instances recently observed doors and gates have been slammed in the faces of those following by boorish men and women, apparently out of iheer. Sometimes the person thus insulted. may. happen to be one-whom-you may wish to please. It pays to be a lady or a gentleman, even when you think you are among strangers.

A matter of great importance AUoona that will be considered to by the city council will be the suit of the city with the Altoona and Logan Valley Railway company for damages to the city water system by electrolysis. It has been before the city fathers for the past eight or nine years and still continues to be a prob lem. city, suit was brought, engaged 0. If. Hewit as special' attorney in the case.

He was secured for the reason that Thomas H. Gree-vy, then city solicitor, was the' attorney for the trolley company. The matter has hung fire for several years and in order to effect a settlement the trolley company offered to Install a mitigating system to carry the escaping electricity from the trolley lines, back to "the power house -and i prevent its coming in contact with the pipes Of tho, city's water -system Then came the matter of a settlement. Then several weeks ago the city council held a session at city hall at which Attorney Hewit suggested a settlement of the case on the basis that the Altoona and Logan Valley company pay $7,500 as damages and guarantee that the mitigating system would prevent further, damage. Four of the counoilmen voted to accept the offer but Director Rooney objected on the ground that the meeting was Irregular.

The matter is now to come before the council again In a regular way, after Attorney Hewit has again suggested that the city effect a settlement with the trolley company on the $7,500 terms.
