DENT PROVES FATAL,
Explosion Due to Frozen Pumps Ends
Fatally This Morning.
Unconscious to the end, Albert Han
son, the young man thrown against the
boiler of the Perry sawmill engine by
an explosion of the heating tank with
such force as to crush his skull, died
at 1 o'clock this morning. Death was
expected, as at the expiration of the
twenty-four hours required to deter
mine the seriousness of the injury, it
was detected that the hurt was too
serious to be remedied. The -accident
occurred early Monday morning while
the men were working on some frozen
pumps.
Hanson is survived by his mother
and father, a brother and sister.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
at 2 p. m. at the Presbyterian church.
Deceased was about nineteen years
of age and well known In .Perry,
where he made his home, He had sev
eral intimate friends In this city as
well. '. - V . . '

. Stopping a Train by Wireless.
Electrical science has achieved a
new triumph. A Toronto railroad man,
Frank -W. Prentice by name, has
perfected a device by wlfch a rail
road train going at a high rate of
speed can be brought to a standstill
by brakes operated by electric power
transmitted by wireless.
The device ha3 been put to practf
al tests." At Ottawa the other day
hundreds of persons Btood by and
few a powerful locomotive drawing a
train of twelve heavily loaded can,
with the throttle wide open and run
ning at the rate of forty miles an
nour, brought to a standstill with as
much ease as a cowboy stops a steer
with a lariet. ; 1
The electric brakes on every one
of tne twelve cars had been applied
by a wireless wave of electricity.
The Invention will eliminate the
dangers of headon collisions between
railroad trains. A train dlsuatche
who gives the wrong order may cor
rect his error if he discover it In
time by simuly turning un electric
switch on . hi? desk and sardine a
wireless wave of electlrcai enertry
leaping into space to the train in
danger of coil'slon.

SIIINN OF BAKER HURT.
Badly Scalded by Ten Galons of
Boiling Water Yesterday. -Leland
Shlnn today lies at his
home on Bridge street suffering se
verely as the result of having a ten
gallon bucket of boiling water spill
ed on his neck, shoulders, back and
one arm. Very fortunately tha burn
was not dee,p enough to do any great
Injury and It will net be necessary to
do any grafting, relates the Baker
Herald.
The accident occurred yesterday af
ternoon In the round house" at South
Baker. Leland and some other friends
had been out skating and went Into
the boiler room to get warm. Leland
was standing beside the large sheet
iron stov and had stooped to fix his
Bhoe when someone stirred up the fire
and put in fuel. In fixing the fire a
large ten gallon bucket of water that
was on top of the stove was upset,
and it fell over toward Leland, the
water striking him on the back of the
neck, shoulders and all down his back.
One arm was also badly scalded.
He was immediately rushed to the
office of Dr. Barton where the clothing
was removed and the burns dressed.
He suffered intense agony for sever
al hours but is resting much easier
today, It will be several days before
the burns will heal sufficiently;, for
him to he around , again. A large
amount of cuticle came off with the
clothing when ' It was - removed, but
the burns was not deep enough to
destroy the subcuticle.
RAILWAYS IN SPAIN.
Their Methods Are Not Those of the
Strenuous Life,
A Spanish railway seems an excel
lent place for a rest cure. "I remem
ber," writes Mr. S. L. Bensusan. "when
going ou -a-sliprt Journey In Andalusia,
the train that carried me stopped at
short Junction. Whilex we were ul
rest here, after some hours of travel at
the rate of at least twelve miles an
hour, the driver-uncoupled his engine
and proceeded down the line with It In
the direction we were not to take.
"The passengers walked contentedly
up and dowu. smoked countless ciga
rettes, ate oranges, resisted the Impor
tunities cf beggnrH. At last I became
uneasy and asl;d where the driver
had gone. 'P(?dro has run down the
line on his engine to take a birthday
gtt to his mother, who lives over
there,' explained the station master;
'he Is Indeed a good son and will not
trust his parcel to the post Spain is
full of thieves.' And when the good
sou had come back from his mission
be restored the engine to its proper
position and we re-entered the train,
which went on its Journey after three
quarters of au hour's delay." London

The Monkey and the Book. .
A story la told of uu eminent nat
uralist (I forgelt his name) who was
hoping to develop the intelligence of u
monkey to whose education he was
devoting himself. One day he saw
with delight t'ant the monkey was sit
ting at the other end of the room turn
ing over the leaves of a valuable book
on entomology and looking at the
plates with apparent Interest But on
going nearer he saw, with dismay, that
the monkey was turning over the
plates in order that when he came to
a particularly large beetle or butterfly
he might pick it out and eat it As
the paper could not have hod a nice
taste, I think he may nave been actu
ated rather by the fun of the thing
than by a mere depraved appetite.
Perhaps he was verifying the like
method cf learning among the philoso
phers of La puta. London Spectator.

"Memories of Sixty Years" tells how
Fox, then editor of the Monthly Re
pository, settled the fate of Robert
Browning's "Pauline" when K first ap- f
peured by the mere word "balderdash."
The explanation given is that "a sin
gle line was required to complete the
page, and the editor," taking' tip the
first book on which he could layhls
hand and thinking it Insignificant and
pretentious, described it as I have stat
ed above," , .
