According to the police, the father
left his family in New York some
time ago and came to board at New
Rochelle. He told his fellow hoard
ers to warn him if his daughter put
in an appearance as she would make
trouble. When the girl came from
New York, last night, Comiskey was
warned. He went directly to the po
lice station to ask for protection. As
he left the station he met his daugh
ter who had followed him. She drew
a revolver and opened fire. She
wounded Comiskey slightly in the
head. The girl was locked up. She
said she was emulating Sarah Koten
in shooting her father, because he had
deserted her mother and herself. She
is thought to be demented.

CHICAGO, July 16-Louise Pruss
ing, the 15-year-old daughter of
Eugene Prussing, a prominent attor
ney, disappeared last night and at an
early hour today no trace of her had
been discovered by her relatives or
friends.
Miss Prussing was last seen by her
'sister Margaret sitting on the front
When a mem
ber of the family went to call her to
supper a few minutes later she had
disappeared.
At first it was believed the girl
might have gone to visit some of her
school friends, but careful invesiga
tion failed to show that she had done
so. '
At midnight it was decided to no
tify the police and a general alarm
was sent out all over the city, the
theory of friends being that the child
may have been kidnapped. With
daylight a thorough search of the
entire city was started.
' Louise is a tall child -for her age,
being five feet seven inches in height
and very beautiful.
Mr. Prussing is in "New York and
was notified by telephone of his
child's disappearance.
They May be Relics of the Revolu
tionary War.
NEW YORK, July 16.-Human
skulls and parts of skeletons found
by workmen digging a cellar at Stap
lcton kindled much interest among
State Island residents. They are sup
posed to be relics of the revolutionary
war, but whether they are the bones
of aptriotic soldiers or Hessians of
the British army is hard to determine.
If the bones are those of soldiers
of Washington's army it is held they
should be re-interred in the National
Cemetery with military honors,
whereas if they belong to Hessians
who held part of Staten Island during
1778-9, it is uncertain what disposi
tion should be made of them. An ap
peal has been made to the local
chapter of the Sons of the Revolution
to determine if possible their identity
and arrange for their disposition.

WIRELESS MESSAGE,
A development is now in progress
in the adopation of wireless tele
graphy to baloons. At first thought
to be impossible, save with captive
baloons, on account of the necessity
of a ground connection, wireless
work from baloons was demonstrated
a possibility 'without doubt, when
Major Edgar Russell of the signal
corps, equipped the big service bal
loon number 10 with a wireless re
ceiving apparatus and, at heights
varying from one to five thousand
feet, succeeded in receiving, strongly,
messages transmitted from Annapo
lis, Md., at a distance of twenty-five
miles, i
In this ascent, no attempt was made
to send any messages. The trans
mission of wireless messages from a
baloon require certain special appara
tus, for a reason most carefully con
sidered by those who are to go tip,
Wireless sending apparatus makes
electrical sparks. The spark gap it
self produces a spark big enough and
hot enough to ignite gas without dif
ficulty, and even the little sparks in
the make-and-break . and under the
key will ignite either illumination gas
or hydrogen.
No one cares to go up in a baloon
with a piece of apparatus so closely
resembling a candle in a powder
magazine. "
In the receiving test recently made,
Nfajor Russell covered the outside of
the basket with a wire netting, which
formed the "ground" of the system.
A long wire three hundred feet in
length, depended from the basket,
bare, and insulated from the netting.
This was the "antenna of the system,

The Japanese Are Searching For Suit
( able Architecture.
NEW YORK, July 16,-Represent-
mg the Japanese government in a
search for an appropriate form of ar
chitecturc for the projected capital
building at Tokio, K, Hayashida, sec
retary general of the Japanese Diet,
has been studying architectural mon
uments in this country and left for
Europe on the Odriatic.
While in the United States has has
visited most of the large cities includ-
ng Washington where he wa9 shown
through the capitol.
Approximately $6,000,000 will be
spent in giving to Tokio a capitol
building and it is the wish of the Japr
anese government that it represent
the best efforts of the western na
tions. Mr. Hayashida said he had seen
.many beautiful buildings in the United
States but that the most beautiful was
the capitol at Washington while the
next was the New York , custom
house. He will inspect buildings in
Paris, Berlin and other European
capitals before returning to Japan.

THE PLANETS
Civilization is not hand-made. The
cliff-dweller rose by clinging to the
tail of i wolf. Society became pos
sible with the spinning of the first
water-wheel. Modern Democracy is
a machine-made product. Race , pro
gress depends on mechanical power,
The steam engine was the great
emancipator. It doubled the produc
tive energy of the human race; made
serfs unprofitable; abolished the gal
leys; stopped the treadmills; drove
the harper out of the king's palace
and put Caruso on the mable-topped
table of every cottage. It made each
man his own Columbus; sent stay-at-homes
around the world: started a
universal correspondence school in
all the arts and science.
Every advance in dynamics is a
new declaration of independence.
With every step forward the "indi
vidual withers and the world is more
and more." The power engineer is
the poet and prophet of the greatest
good to the greatest number. He is
an unconscious socialist. He decreed
the eight-hour day and the Saturday
half-holiday. On the Pacific coast he
has harnessed the glaciers which
cover the high top of Mt. Ranier and
set them to running the street cars in
and Tacoma. Across the
middle west he has
stretched copper power wires. Tap
ping these magic filaments, the farm
er straightens his bent back and sits
down to read Bernard Shaw while
the cream is churning.
Merely scratch the earth's surface
for a depth of 12,000 feet and water
will turn, instantly into steam. The
dream of the power engineer is the
sinking of two pipes to that depth.
Once in place he will drop high ex
plosives to the bottom of each and
discharge them simultaneously, until
a connection has been formed between
the bottom of the pipes. Then into
the mouth of one pipe he will divert
a stream of water, At the bottom of
this pipe the column of water will
exert, a pressure of, say 5,000 pounds
to the square inch and the steam re
sulting from its contact with the su
per heated rocks will automatically
rise to the ton of the other, nine.
Harness this steam to turbines at the
surface and exhaustless power will
be humanly speaking forever avail
able. V: . ;

with planning to turn the earth itself
into, a great power plant. He has
