MOUSES NET IN
A Many Stockinged Com-
motion in a Car
WHEN THE NEST FELL OUT
Newark, Deo, 9. A woman who
thought oho would woar her last
winter's hat just one more Seasion
cautied ructioas the other tlay in a
Clinton avenue trolley car. Before
sztarteta downtown for lier shopp.ne
she went to the attic and droggee
out the old hat natd put it on with-
out a Close thspeotion, Then She
boarded the car, In which there wat
nothing left but standing room. All
tile paseentgers except Sergi:. Brown
of the Vourth street police, and it
small boy were wemen. And of °Wee
they all vetted the new corraMe
hat and knew its vintage ret a glome
"She's it parlor trick lady," sud-
denly exclaimed the small bay to ble
mother. "She cam move hoe bonnet
without sbaking her lima"
The bonnet was ;surely wabbling a
little and there was also an uncaune
upward movement. The bey's mother
culled the attention of hoe nelghboi
to the moving hot, and the word
passed down the line of seat, so ev-
erybody was more or less prepared
when tbe real oalantity came. That
was when the passenger, nuspeeted
of being it parlor trick lady, felt
something aerself and began to
wriggle. A moment later she shelek-
ed and then site threw laet winter's
hat on the floor of the oar, thereby
releasing five email, but very lively
mice that had been eorn in the hat
and might have been raisea in it if
the woman hadn't tried to make it do
for two winters.
There were twenty women in the
car, and no two of themworo tbe
menet coior or design in stockings, as
Sergt. Brown discovered when they
all jumped upon the mate and began
to scream. He had emir a mind to call
out tho reserves, but the car was
going too fast to get help then, so
the sergeant fell to alone to slaugh-
ter the mice and save the women.
Ho killed four or the beasts on tbe
floor of the ear and caught the
fifth as it was shaken down on it
seat, from an elevation to which it
had climber], and despatched it with
hie club.
The woman who had con -el the ea-
ettement left the car at the not
eorner, and was last seen going into

TO BUILD FING lACHINE
The Balloon Theory Should
be Abandoned,
ONE HUNPRFA MILES AN HOUR.
London, Dec. 0. -Sir Hiram
of tho Dom of Viekers, Sons Se Maxim
will sail shortly for the Unites)
States, whore he intends to remain
for about two years, primarily to
try by breathing Ws native air (he
is a native of Maine) to cure it trou-
blesome throat complaint, the re
suit of an attack of bronelatie and
laryngitis six months ago. The ace
ondary object of his visit is to peco
steatite experiments with the view to
the building a flying machine. He
contemplates making an experiment -
Ing ground In Conneeticut, or on
Long Island. Sir Hiram believes
that the era of successful flying
machines, with which he has made
many experiments, is very near, al-
though much work will be necessary
before tree high flight' is pereetleable.
Ho adheres to his often expressee
view that the eolution of the prob.
lam will not be found In lighter -than -
air machines. He says that a major-
ity of the present experimenters,
numbering about a hundred, are
working on ;the balloon theory, but
he is convinced that inventors have
otemo to the end of their tether in
that direction. He does not think
that anyone will do better than San-
tos Dumont, who is entitled to every
credit. Ho has done muesli better
than the French Government experts
under Col. Renard and his brother,
Mnjor Renard.
A successful machii.e, Sir Hiram
Maintains, meet travel fast -tet it
speed, indeed, which would tear
any balloon to pieces, The mini-
mum speed of a true flying nue:thine
well hare to be 42 miles an hoar,
and the maxiinum 100 miles. The
average speed probably will. have
to be that of an express train.
Sir Hiram adds that if he dorm; not
build it machine lihnself he nuty be-
come a eonsciting englimer on tin
subieee at the sit. Louis Exhibi-
boa, although if he compotes for
the prime offered by the exhibi-
tion management 11 10 obvious that

tion. Sir Hiram will sail al about

• In conversation ;with MoK.ohis brief
statement was to tbe effeet that
while swimming near the boat, he
suddenly felt himself dragged under
water by some powerful force. Not
realizing eohat It was, his first im-
pulse was to resist and swine to the
surface. He then felt a terriale

as the onset, he lett himself released,
an,d then he swam with all his re-
nwining strength to the kcal, some
ten or fifteen yards away.,He then
understood that his leg was gone,
but dauntlessly Impt np bis one and
only alit, to regain the boat lf pos-
sible. He rwas hauled aboard, and his
companionse by pressure on the
femoral artery. ;temporarily con-
trolled the hemorrhage.
The patient was rowed in this
condition a distance of a'hout two
miles to the ship, and sorer after
his arrival the surgeon amputated.
The next ease occurred in the
middle of October, 1901. A Molu.ssa
Moro by the name of Dalikus was

with his hands, When a shark Mali -
ed by the Mores kayton), whioh had
become entrapped, bie dem in the
right thigh, carrying away a
large part of the extensor remotes
of the leg.
This shark that bit Dahkus was
caught by the other fishermen
about, and the fact that Daltkue
was bitten is vouched for by thess
oye witnesses, in addition to which
there were prints of teeth that
proved their statements. I men-
tion these facts with such explicit-
ness, as a certain gentleman has
published the offer of a reward or
81,000 fon the production of an au-
thentic case of shark bite. Tile
muscles on the front of the thigh
wore torn through quite down to
the bone, leaving an ugly gap about
ten inches by six incites in area.
The next case is very similar to
the foregoing as to the method of
receiving the injury, namely, 4 IIC

Sir Edward Russell, writing on
this subject hi the Liverpool Post,
says:

society themselves write paragraphs

five peeresses who do not scruple

Dr. David Lingle Is the diecoverer.

Prof. Jacques Loebes' announcement
made two years ago that a solution
of 'Katt wouhl start a licart to pul-

that the heart is extremely sensitive
to oxygen and carbon dioxide, the
gore ',roamed in vitiated air. But
earetolore the action of oxygen has
been thought to bo confined to the
prat:leaden of the blood. Dr. Lingle
shows this gas has the power di-
rectly to eustain the beats of a
etrip of heart muscle removal from
the boly of a turtle, and to keep it
going for front 24 to 7e hours. Even
:then the muscle stopped may becaose

atalp continued to beat for 24 bower

dead.,
CZAR WAS AFFECTED.
Signed First Death Warrants for Four
Penitent Murderers
Livadia, Dec. 7. --For the flrst
time since the beginning of his
reign, Czar Nicholas signed it
death warrant, or rather four of
them at once, for the Ruston leer
imposes the death penalty only ht
it very few- extreme eases. The
bangman's victims were deported
criminals, who on the way to Si-
beria had murdered several guards.
A telegram from the place Pr ex-
ecution, Krasenoparsk, informed
Nicholas that the marderers were
very penItent, and on the scaffold
begged the forgIvenese "of the lit -
tie white father," asking that he
write to their parents that they
died by disease.' no the news of
their execution might kill the old
folks." The Czar caused this last
request to be carefully executed,
end personally placed a itundrea-
rouble note in each lettet.
Ho was much affeeted by the
criminal's penitence, and told the
court that ho would never have
signed the death warrants; heel 001
the Governor advised him that
such was absolntely necessary in
the interest of discipline.
