Crew Abandon* Ship With $1,000,000 Fur Cargo. Winnipeg.—One of the most amaz ing tales of hardship and adventure that has come out of the Far North In yeara—a tale of hopeless battles with Ice and sea, of a hair-breadth escape from starvation In the wilderness be low the pole—was told by Capt. Gus Foellmer and members of the crew of the Ill-fated Hudson’s Bay company’s ship Lady Klndersley when they ar rived here after abandoning their ves sel to the engulfing ice floes off Point Barrow. “Well, If we had stayed with the Klndersley another day we wouldn’t have had a chance,” That was the brief way In which Captain Foellmer, a big, gaunt seaman, whose home Is the Arctic ocean, described the escape of the Klndersley’s crew. Ills ship, he added, probably is at the bottom of the northern seas now, with her mll- llon-dollar cargo of furs. * 8hlp Abandoned. Not until all hope of saving her had gone did Captain Foellmer reluctantly give the order to abandon his stout little ship—and then It was with faint hope of reaching shore. Many times the skipper and sailors of the Klnders ley had attempted to make their way to shore across the Ice floes after she had become wedged solidly In the slow ly moving scum that covered the northern sea. Each time they had failed, turned back by yawning crev ices in the Ice and bewildered by the heavy fog which had settled down upon the surrounding whiteness. When they started on tlielr flnul dash It was not for shore, but for the open sea, where they knew, by wireless advices, that the United States steamship Boxer was standing by, somewhere out In the fog. Tossed about in their three little slrln boats, not knowing when they woqjd be crushed between the groan Ing hills of Ice on all sides of them, the sailors gradually made their way northward, traveling so slowly that It seemed at times they would never reach safety. Blindly they stumbled on, carrying their boats across the Ice. with only a vague Idea of the Boxer’s position, gained by their wireless com munication with her. Lawrence M. Hight and Mr«. Hweetin have been found guilty of the poisoning of Mrs. Sweetin’s husband, whose presence on earth interfered with the illicit love affair between those who conspired to take his life.

During the time that he was coveting his neighbor’s wife and was planning to get that neighbor out of the way, Mr. Hight, in his capacity as a pastor, joined couples in tho holy bonds of matrimony and admonished them that the tie was to hold “unto death part. ’ ’ Mr. Hight evidently was a cui- tured man, one who should be oxpected to shrink from a great crime, even though he were not preaching obedience to the laws of Hod and man.

London.—The use of monkeys In warfare by the Chinese dates back to the time when the Mongolians cap tured Peking. The monkeys used are the ‘‘Wah-Wahs," called after the pe culiar call they make when angry. They are tailless, always walk upright, and when fully grown are about 4 feet tn height, says a writer In the Dally News. The monkeys are captured when quite young and are kept In a small hut situated on a lonely plain, The training of the animals is a long and arduous task, and only such as the Chinese, with their Infinite patience and utter disregard of time, would at tempt The animal is let out of the hut at the end of a thin cord about ten feet long and made to go forward and take out of the ground a little flagstaff with a yellow flag on it. This flagstaff forms the center of three fiagstaffs, the two outer flags being blue. When the monkey brings back the yellow flag he Is la rewarded with food, but if he attempts to touch the blue flags the cord Is drawn tight and he is chastised. Gradually the cord is lengthened, and after years of train ing the monkey Is capable of going distances up to two miles and bringing back his colored flag. Other monkeys are taught to take blue flags, others red, until an army commander is in possession of several hundred monkeys distinguished by th* color painted on their backs. Every Chinese division Is distin guished by colored pennants carried by bannermen, soldiers noted for their bravery. When a commander wishes to make an attack and desires to strike terror Into the enemy, he selects about 20 monkeys of the enemy's color. The animals are starved for several days and kept in a position where they can see the enemy. The night of the attack the monkeys are covered all over with luminous paint and let loose., They immediate ly make their way over Into the ene my’s lines, where their appearance and the savage way In which they bite and scratch In their efforts to capture the flags strike terror In the heart of the enemy. When the commander hears the loud "Wah-Wah” of bls beasts he knows the enemy are In con fusion and launches bls attack. Plant TNT in Snow to Open Drifted Highways Loveland, Colo.—Incased In a tube of lead, a ribbon of powerful TNT, known as a Cordeau fuse, Is being stretched along the trail of the Rail River road, In the Rocky Mountain National park, west of Loveland. This fuse will be burled under snow drifts 15 to 25 feet deep on both sides of Fall River pass, and in the spring drifts of snow will be blasted from the trail.

Even a speed of 20 miles an hour is dangerous if it requires ab lcei io Oring yuui car to a stop. Watch your brakes. Tests of 175 cars for brake performance concluded by engineers of the Bureau of Standards at Washington, D. C., show that automobile brakes in active service are not up to the standard set by engineers. Emergency, or hand-brakes, chief reliance of many motorists, especially on cars not equipped with modem four-wheel brakes, when a sudden stop is required, failed to come up to specifications by a wide margin. Foot, or service brakes were better, but not sufficiently good to insure a great margin of safety. Seventeen per cent of the foot brakes were marked excellent. Forty-one per cent were registered good; nineteen per rent were described as poor. Only three per cent of the emergency brakes were marked excellent. Sixteen per cent were good and 67 per cent poor. In the tests the driver was required to drive his car 20 miles an hour on a smooth, well-traveled asphalt highway and then come to a sudden stop.
