LDT AS BIG AS ft HATI I ■ ■ Tabulation in New York Discloses Odd Corner. Has a Frontage on One Street of One ' Foot Four Inches, on Another of One Foot Two Inches and Back of One Foot. New York. —As a result of the tabu- i latlon of the city’s most unusual pieces of property, what is probably the most freakish bit of real estate In the world has just been discovered here ,ln the shape of a corner plot in the lower part of the city where corners i Are generally sold at hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. The corner in question, however, is valued at only SSO. The low valuation explained by its size, or, rather, lack of size, since it is believed ■ to be the smallest corner lot in the world, and on this to a great extent depends its claim to freakishness. A derby hat would almost cover the property in question, which is so small that a baby could not stand on it without encroaching on city property. It . would be impossible to erect any sort , of a structure on it, and yet it is a corner and is taxed by the city as ■uch. According to the records of the tax department, this tiny property has a frontage on one street of one foot and four inches, on the other of one foot and two inches and a rear line of just * one foot. The mite of land, which Is within half a mile of the center of the world s greatest financial district, is what was left as the result of street extensions put through by the city. A search of the record? of the tax department has revealed the fact that

k Exists on Apples From New York to lowa. When Refrigerator Is Finally Opened Passenger Is Unable to Stand Up, and Both Feet Are Frozen. Sioux City, la. —Almost dead on account of his sufferings, Andy Gorchitz, a Hungarian, was removed from a B refrigerator car in the Sioux City yards,. He had been in the car thirteen days, and had traveled from Spencerport, N. Y. He said he had been working at Newburg, »N. Y. The ear was filled with apples, loaded in barrels. During the long trip Gorchitz lived on apples, consuming one barrel of the fruit. The man’s feet wrere frightfully frozen and swollen, The discolora- , tion extended almost to his knees. I The restraining bands of his shoes left i deep marks in the frozen feet. Every effort being made to restore circulation. Gorchitz was removed, to St. Vincent’s hospital, where he was attended by Dr. J.' P. Doughertyj police surgeon. He revived under the treatment given him. The latest report indicated that his life will be saved; although it z probably will be necessary to amputate the feet. He is fifty-two years old. • ■ j / The case is an exceedingly strange one and is made more complicated because the man is unable to speak English. The word “sick” comprises > his entire English vocabulary. The car was filled with apples in barrels and was consigned to Sioux City. When employes opened the car they fount the sufferer stretched across two barrels. He was too weak to arise. He mumbled continually the ■word “sick." The Palmer men called Herman Schmaltz, special agent for the Chicago and Northwestern line. Schmaltz removed the man to the police station. Doctor Dougherty ordered him to the hospital as soon as he made an examination. In a Coma for Days. .. Officer Schmaltz found an interpreter, and through this agency managed | to learn the man’s name, fie said he had quit work at Newburg and boarded the car, thinking it would go only a short distance. Shortly after the car was sealed and started on its long journey. He was unable ' 1

SEA COW BREAKS FROM CAGE

■ ■? Monster of 1,500 Pounds Smashes ! Way Out of Exhibition Tank —Is Lassoed by Wire Cable. Chicago.—The sea-cow —a strange animal on exhibition in a "loop” store —broke loose from its moorings and created a small panic in the immediate neighborhood of State and Van Buren streets. The creature, which, according to the best authorities on the subject, ought to be extinct, wabbled from its tank past the attendants and proceeded’ to stroll toward x the State street door. i Sunday it was decided to feed the animal on fish, and on Tuesday the <diet was changed to Florida oranges, spinach, tomatoes and other delicacies. That night the sea-cow fell into a deep sleep. The climax came when there a sudden upheaval of the water in the tank, a loud hissing noise, and an indignant sea-cow arose in its wrath. One thousand five hundred pounds of adipose tissue collided with the steel

DEER THAT WEIGHS SIXTY OUNCES rW', ~ > '' ' i Mr In a miniature crate there arrived at the Bronx Zoo, New York, the other day, a mouse deer that weighs just 60 ounces and is eight and three- ; quarters inches high. The mouse deer is a true member of the deer family and is known to the natives of India, whence it hails, as •’chevrotain." These creatures are very shy. They never venture into open spaces but keep in the densest portions of the jungle. They have a peculiar way of i walking on the extreme tips of the hoofs, which gives, one the impresston that the mouse deer is stiff-legged. The specimen at the Zoo is the gift of M. Taylor Pyne, who got him from a Hindoo. It is almost pure white, save for a slight reddish tinge to a line of hair along the spine. It has no antlers, but two sharp tusks grow from the upper jaw and hang below the under lip.

not far from this corner is another which is probably the second smallest and cheapest in the city. This chip of land Is hardly noticeably to the passer-by, but it Is valued for tax ' purposes at SIOO, and has the distinction of being the only corner at that price in the city. Directly across from this corner is another, on which is located what is

Stanhope, agent for the ■ Merchant’s Dispatch,' interested himself In the case because his company had charge of the car during its shipment. Mr. Stanhope learned that the car had been opened when the temperature was tested. The man evidently was too weak to make an outI cry. Doctor Dougherty expressed the i opinion that the man is in no immedi- : , ate danger if the feet can be saved, j The dlot of apples relieved the hun- ; ger, although there .was not sufficient i nourishment to maintain strength.

BABY FORTUNE CASE TANGLED *

' Witnesses at Hearing Offer Astonishing Contradictions in Testimony. San Francisco. —Conflicting testimony given here before the district ■ attorney deepened the mystery in the : Sllngsby baby institution case, which hinges on' the question of whether Mrs. Dorothy Sllngsby, wife of Lieutenant Charles Slingsby of the British navy, substituted the illegitimate child of Lillian Anderson for her own son, which died at birth. So varied are the statements of witnesses that it would have been difficult to gather, from the testimony, whether the absent Slingsby heir bears relatioiwtip to his putative mother, or even whether Mrs. Slingsby ever gave birth to a son. Mrs. Amanda Koch, who was living with Mrs. Slingsby in the fall of 1910, swore that no child was born to Mrs. Sllngsby on Sept. 1, the date of the announced birth. On the other hand. Dr. Martin Regensburger, president of > the state board of health, testified that he had attended Mrs. Slingsby just prior to that date, and that an heir was expected. Still another witness, Mrs. O. H. Bain, declared Mrs. Sllngsby had giv-

With one sweep of its tail it demolished the rest of the tank and the imitation grass that surrounded it. All was chaos, and the exhibitors were at their wits’ end. Finally a cowboy, by name Frank Leonard, proved himself the real hero, lassoing the animal with some telephone cable that had been left in the •back of the building. Now the seacow lies peacefully in a newly-made and much stronger tank. " Finds Warm Water Current. Sydney, N. S.

They have also engaged the services of a detective bureau, and are i endeavoring to trace Lillian Ander- j son, alleged by the opposition to be the mother of the child the Slingsbys are now claiming as their own. Local officials frankly admit inability to determine whether Lieutenant Slingsby and his wife are the victimb of a w’ell-planned conspiracy, designed to deprive their child of his rightful inheritance, or are themselves the conspirators. Lieutenant Slingsby has already come into the possession of his own inheritance, a large English estate, but the disposition of property valued at about a half-million dollars, vested In their supposed son, depends upon the success of their attempt to establish his legitimacy.

INIEIMIONAL siwrsoiooi Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve- I ning Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 23 ABRAM AND LOT. LESSON TEXT—Gen. 13:1-15. ? | GOLDEN TEXT—"The blessing of Je- | hovah, it maketh rich; and He addeth no : Borrows therewith.’’—Prov. 10:22. — During the time that intervened be- | tween this and last week's lesson we read of Abram’s journey “down into Egypt,” a story that is rich with sug ’ gestive typical lessons. Abram’s deceit is discovered by Pharaoh and he is driven from Egypt. Fear is the ■ root of unbelief, and when we fall we are sure to carry some one with us | But a man’s sin is sure to be discov I ered. so it was that “Pharaoh com manded his men, and they sent him ; away, and his wife, and all that he | had.” Egypt, a type of the world, I turned Abram out (12:20) when he ! tried the “good Lord good devil” mods of life. Compromise and separation are not compatible. Lesson’s Picture. I. “Up Out of Egypt,” vv. 1-5. Again we have presented the lesson of separation. This portion is a great picture of repentance. Abram carried j with him not only his own possessions | but also those of his nephew Lot. Notice, Abram’s wealth did not make him acceptable in Egypt. The world desires not alone the wealth of a man, but also the man, back of the wealth. Again Abram turns from conflict un- I to Bethel, the house of God, that place of confession, of consecration, and of I encouragement. Abram had to return j “unto the place of the altar which he I had made at the first/’ the place of his j first disobedience. Just so we have to go back over the track of our disobedience to that place of our departure, < to the point of reconsecvation, and fol- 1 low the abandoned path of obedience. 1 Our security is to maintain our separation from the world. These returning pilgrims were not ordinary men, no more is the man who is in CHrist, and God was already given evidence of the blessing promised to Abram (12:2) and of that material blessing so definitely promised to the descendants of Jacob. We | read (v. 6) “their substance was great.” But there is far greater danger however in material prosperity than in adversity. This was a greater i danger to these pilgrims than that of the Canaanites who dwelt In the land. 11. “And There Was Strife,” vv. 5-9. The evidence of this danger manifested Itself when It was found that the land could not support both Abram and Lot (v. 6). Paul calls Timothy’s at- | tention to this same danger (I Tim. 6:9). and we are constantly seeing it Illustrated all about us. Lot’s History. Lot was journeying with Abram rather than with Jehovah (12:3), doubtless in a great meastire he was governed by cupidity and selfishness when he beheld Abram’s prosperity. Millions In America profit by the security and the prosperity of this which ; so nearly approaches a Christian nation and yet .In scorn or in neglect refuse to believe In or to serve the God who sends the blessing. The whole history of Lot is one of selfishness, which later resulted in sorrow and sadness and In his being Ihorn of all I of his selfishly acquired prosperity. Lot had no particular claim upon Abram nor have we In our own right, or because of our own merit, upon Gqd. By right of promise this land belonged to Abram (12:7). There was however a greater right that governed Abram, viz., the right to be magnanimous and right nobly did he respond to that demand when he said: “Let there be no strife for we be brethren.” Abram walked In the counsels of God, Ps.l:l, and of course was blessed. We dare assert that every so-called “problem of the day” those questions of capital and labor, of intemperance, Impurity, housing, sanitation, graft, penology. the whole array, would cease if mankind would obey God as brethren. What made this strife all the more reprehensible was that It took place In the presence of their common enemy, the Canaanite. Denominational strife, standing for our rights, defending our principles, etc., finds but little commendation In the scriptures. | There Is so little that divides most of us and so much that we hold In common that It is but little short of criminal to waste our energy upon that which Is ephemeral or of slight importance. What a difference In the choice of Lot and that of Abram. One entered into the path of the wicked, Prov. 4:14, 15, while the other Into the path that “shineth more and more unto the perfect day,” Prov. 4:18. HI. “And Lot . . . Beheld All the Plain of Jordan,” vv. 10-13. Lacking the counsel and guidance of Jehovah Lot followed the choice that which was pleasing to the eyes and made a sorry mess of it, for In the end he was a great loser. Already the land was doomed (v. 10) and so today the man who chooses the world In preference to Christ makes a bad bargain (T John 2:17) and the greater condemnation Is his for he makes his choice In the blazing light of nearly twenty centuries of the Gospel. Lot made a willing compromise, a superficial choice and came near losing his own soul, Matt, 16:26, 6:83. He deliberately entered Into danger when he “pitched his tent towards Sodom.” The believers peril Is worldliness. Lot’s journey (v. 11) led at last to Sodom ▼. 12. Abram aspired to know God, Lot had an ambition to possess the things of time and sense. Abram coveted righteousness (Matt 5). Lot soveted success In this life only. Well has Goethe exclaimed, “Choose well; your choice is brief and yet it Is endless.” Eternity alone will reveal the results as our choice of surroundings, upon lurselves, upon our families and upon our friends.

TRUCK GARDENING AND POULTRY RAISING THESE, AS, WELL AS OTHER MIXED FARMING BRANCHES, PAY IN WESTERN CANADA. Truck gardening and poultry growing are two branches of agriculture in which the farmers near the main lines of the three transcontinental lines traversing Western Canada are much concerned. The abundance of sunshine during the long days from May to September, and adequate moisture in the spring and early summer permit of a wide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attention to cultivation has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and small fruits which bring good prices in the cities J and at the numerous railway construe- ■ tion camps. Mr. Harris Oium, aji Alberta farmer, came from South Dakota eleven years ago and hombsteaded the first 160 | atres in his township in 1902, which I was divided between grain and pasI ture. He earned sufficient money to i buy a quarter section of railway land I at sll an acre. The half section netted : proportionate profits and he gradually ‘ Increased his holdings to 1,920 acres, ! which was devoted to mixed farming : last year. He values his land at SSO I an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125 | hogs and a similar number of beef : cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China. 25 I head draft horses and 35 head of pure ' bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar- ; ley to hogs he estimates that the grain j i nets him 80 cents a bushel, as com- i I pared with 40 cents, the average mar-' ket price when delivered to the ware- ■ house. His average crop of barley is I 40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-I erage 80 bushels.
