BICYCLE CRASHES INTO TRAIN; BOY LOSES RIGHT LEG John Cornell and Robert Ault, each 8 years old and inseparable companions, lie on adjacent beds at the Evanston hospital, as the result of a serious accidemt Tuesday after- noon when a bicycle they were rid- ing crashed into a Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee limited train. The playmates were having the time of their lives Tuesday afternoon riding on the smooth pavements on John's new bicycle. John was on the seat and Robert perched high up on the handle-bars. At Ninth street and Greenleaf avenue the boys notic- 1 a big steel electric train ap i southbound. John his coaster brake, slackening thz speed of the bicycle as'the big train passed. The first two cars of the train had ch- appit passed when John lost control of the wheel and it crashed directly into the steel body of the rear coach. The Cornell boy was thrown under the car, .a wheel passing over his right foot crushing it off just above the ankle. His companion v thrown back to the curb and badly bruised, the hard pavement cutting a deep gash in his forehead. The little fellows were rushed to the Evanston hospital where it was found necessary -to amputate the Cornell boy's leg above the knee. It was first thought his injury would prove fatal but physicians, following an examination, expressed confidence that the boy would live. The Ault boy, though painfully bruised, was not seriously hurt, according to hos- pital attendants. He is suffering from the shock, it was said. A blood transfusion operation was performed on the Cornell boy Tues- day evening, his father furnishing the blood. John Cornell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cornell of 835 Oakwood ave- nue. Robert Ault is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Forest F. Ault, 918 Oakwood avenue. Famous Gretna Green. Gretna Green is a village of Dum- fries, a border county of Scotland and neer the border line between Scotland and England. Formerly a common re- sort of runaway couples from England, the practice was broken up by an act of 1856, which provided that no mar- riage should be valid in Scotland un- dess one of the parties had lived in Scotland for the 21 days next pre- ceding the marriage, or had his or "her usual residence there at the time. First Known Use of Glass. At Pompeii we find the first example of the use of glass, the window at the south 'end of the trepidarium of the Forum baths being filled with a frame of bronze and glass. It was not until the first and second centuries, how- ever, that the window came into com- mon utility in all buildings. 1 | reception. {ered to meet the famous sons were {9 years) Sherwood Nelson. | M.

Gulls as WMice-Catchers. A writer in California I'ish and Game says that gulls when visiting the rivers and marshes of the interior valley of California. do not appear to be wholly scavengers or piscivorous. A California gull taken on March 12, 1912, along the San Quaquin river near Mendota, Fresno county, was present- ed to me. Upon dissection I was as- tonished: to find its stomach filled with common black crickets and three whole field mice. Dancing Has Deteriorated. Dancing in its earliest form among primitive races, was a mode of ex- pression for strong emotions, such as joy or sorrow, love and passion, and even for the most solemn religious sentiment, but in later ages it has be- come an amusement and has lost its high significance.
