TWO SETS OF ORGANS Man Can Swallow Water and Tfien 8ath? In It Russian, "Oi?cov?r?d" by French Acad, ?my, Used Peculiar Talente U Foot Germane* During War. '?> .'aria.? The French Academy of Medicine, announces the discovery of what it terms it "man most fortunate ly con st rut ed pl?ya!ologtc?lly for brav ing the torrid heat* wave." The man la Vladimir Bolgarsky, formerly a cap-, tain In the Russian army and since the Bolshevist revolution a refugee In Paris. According te the report, ltol gawky haw a "dual personality of di gestive organs." I * The multiplicity of talents possessed ,Uy these organs lend themselves to tunny practical uses. For Instance, shower baths are scarce and over patronised lu Paris at present, but this does not annoy Bolgarsky. He simply drinks 80 glasses of Ice water, which feat occupies him some three minutes, thon, being thud cooled In side his trick organs return the water by wny of the mouths In the same con dition as when swallowed, and with ych force and velocity 'that the ?stream rises to a height of six feet, falling hack upon him In tiny needle tike Jets like a shower. . llolgarsky put blft talents to g pod use while fighting on the side of the illles. The Russians had an Impor tant battery well camouflaged, but be iqg worried that the Germans might discover it, they constructed a dum my battery at some distance. Bolgar sky was placed In a well-protected spot in front of the dnmray battery and, having smoked many packages of cig arettes and swallowed the smoke, he j emitted smoke In such spurts that the Germans concentrated the fire on the dmnmy lustead of the real battery. STICKS IN FIRE HYDRANT Boy Is Held Prisoner by Suction Half Hour ? 'Six Firemen Work to Free Him. New York. ? The Dutch boy who plugged up a hole in the dyke With hi* ' bend and saved Holland from flood was a prototype of five-year-old Darey Mc viuatvq/ ut uttiiviui Dutv/'s ,aroi |oi': stuck la a fire hydrant for half an hour before six firemen took, the hy drant apart and freed him. Davey and some chums found the cap of the hydrant lootle and un brewed It. Davey shoved his left arm >|q up to the shoulder. When he tried [to withdraw it he couldn't, because of the suction. He didn't oven whimper whllo being rescued, and the firemen shook hands with him and called him a "game little kid." Bui MrC'luskey, Sr., happened along, and Davey's reward was different from i lint of the Dutch boy. ONE X-RAY MENACE UNREAL Rays Not Likely te Injure Persons In Adjoining Rooms, Say* Report.

A report to the Academy of Medicine held that modern appliances and con ditions generally enstlng -? In X-ray rooms sufficiently protect atl but the operators. [ The report waa prepared by a coin rtaission after recent fegj&tii to the Academy that X-rays were, a serious menace to people In buildings housing laboratories. It was contended that rsys would penetrate walls with force enough left to cause serious in rjary.

Whan ? district school board In Mis aourt tod* Itself shy of funds to put tu ft fnrnace or start ft library needed to bring the Institution up to the approved school standard there Is an unfailing resource in ftu energetic anil pretty young school teacher: a "pie supper." Some call 'em pie sociuis or pie recep tions. It's all the same thing. Three pis suppers were advertised for the same night in one of the north Missouri papers recently, ? one in the Stone district* <me at TewoU school and another at Ely school ? "Every body Invited ? no charge for admis sion," so ran the announcement, says Edgar White in the New York Evening Post. But never make the mistake of going to such an event without your pocket or check book. 1 If you do, you'll simply be on uninteresting subject, a "wallflower," as lonely as a man from the country on Broadway, True, it costs you nQthlng to get in?not ft pen ny ! But oiiee in you're expected to take part in the proceedings, which means the bidding. "Oh, well, that won't cost much -a pie lit a pie. A quarter ought to let me out." 4 But pie social pies don't sell for any such lnslgulficant sum. You see. the girl who made the pie stands by the auctioneer while he is crying the sale. It would take an awfully contracted soul to bid only 25 cents for a pie when tl>e pretty maker, lu her best bib and tucker, Is standing near, her blue eyes fixed steadily on the bidder. She'd feel that you weren't very anxious to eat that pie with her, which is the re- ; ward of successful sportsmanship ot the auction. The open season fi>r "pie raids" be gins about the time autumn starts palutlug the forests, an^nkeeps on un til all the ready cash of the lovelorn youngsters Is in the school treasury^ There's no limit to what a pie may cost you, It the creator of the pie hap pens to be the belle of the neighbor* hood her production may bring from The Grant] View Consolidated Idgh School, lu northwest Macon county, liquidated in two mouths a $400 debt |S i a new piano. The salesman had offered the school six months' time. Be couldn't understand how the hill had been discounted so quickly. "'We sold pies," smiled the teacher. "But It would take a carload of pies to rsise $400," the salesman said. "Not the way we sell 'em," explained" the teacher. J When a country . teacher wants to start something she invites a lot of town boys' out to her school. The fun comes when the town, boys and the couptry boya get to bucking each oth&r. One night 'a lot of town hoys went out from Linneus to Owl Creek school. Uacli of them liftd a big roll in his pocke^ and when., the auction was pulled off all the pfetty girls' pies were bid In- .by the town boy*, who sat down with the pie(u?kers and had ? gopd thne. The couutry boys silently withdrew, leaving the field td their beted rivals. They felt that the town boys wars poachers and decided to "clean up on them." S9 about midnight tbeyiWung red lanterns across the POj^w^J. the town, boys came Honking atonj? they slowed up for the danger elgrisl* and were greeted by ?, dnusXUa of tomatoes, potatoes, eggs, Cfgrrete,an?ether dainties, tossed their wey hy hiMky arms.
