Collapses Wheo He Face? the Wring ~ Squad?German Paper Gives Ac' count of Execution. 1 Amsterdam.?With two hours given - In which to prepare for the end, Nicho" las Romanoff, former Russian emperor, " was taken out by his executioners in a state of such collapse that it was necessary to prop hira against a post, t says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, which claims to have received from a * high Russian personage an account of ? the emperor's last hours. 1 Nicholas was awakened at five r o'clock on the morning of the day of his execution by a patrol of a non"> commissioned officer and six men.

After a few min1 rates he asked for a priest, with r whom he was allowed to remain nnf attended. Subsequently he wrote sev eral letters. When the escort arrived to take him 1 to the place of execution Nicholas at3 _ . ? , t , , , 1 tempted to rise trom nis cnair, nut - was not able. The priest and a solr dier were obliged to help him get to - his feet. The condemned man de1 scended the stairs with difficulty and " once he fell down. As he was unable to stand without 5 support when the place of execution s was reached, he was propped against a b post. He raised his hands and seemed - to be trying to speak, but the rifles ? spoke and he fell dead. * BEE STINGS KILL QUICKLY Aged Man Succumbs in Ten Minutes \ After Being Wounded in Wrists. e Philadelphia.?Ten minutes after he had been stung on both wrists by bees, ,f Clarge L. Hume, sixty-six years old, a ,r resident of Santa Ana, Cal., died. j) The bees' stings acted as a violent n poison, physicians stated, probably because of Hume's unusual physical U condition. Hume was stung by the s bees when he attempted to destroy a hive close to his home. Physicians, when told of the peculiar case, stated that there was a probabill_ ity that rhe poison injected by the bees struck an nrterv and was inmiediately conveyed to the heart, causing death. It was also said that tiie bees' stings may have acted as a violent poi0 son because of an unusual physical con0 dition. The physicians said that so sudden jp a death from bees' stings was very ? unusual, ft " SERVED AS GERMAN M !

ONLY CHANGE IN MACHINERY ^ind Knitting Now Do.te In Exactly the Same Manner as It Was Many Centuries Ago. . There are a few touches of humor in the countryside revival of knitting, , such as the over-large and the envious feminine group about the lafly who, with practiced skill, deftly tarns the heei of a sock, but behind ft ill is a 1 fin? display of aerrice, says a writer lot the Detroit Free Press. When you see a sweater er muffler in proceed %f , evolution it may interest you to knew that the work ia being done Just abo?t as it wa? when the art was in it* I*- i fancy. There have been great improve- : ments in knitting machinery, however, and 4ha first of them wa? directly due to a somewhat common malady??reciprocated tore. , The Rev. William Lee ef Cambridge university, as the story goea, was deej)ly smitten with a maiden of his native town, Woodborough, Nottinghamshire, hut In spite of his ardent wooing could make no impression. The fair oMi calmly kept on with her knitting, then the common occupation of English women. In revenge Reverend William swore he'd Invent a machine which would destroy the iflarfcet fo. hand work. He kept his word, but Queen Elisabeth ra fused to grant a patent and to give her financial support because too many of her subjects would be deprived of their means of livelihood. So the Inventor took hte machine to France. Thi? story may b? entirely fanciful, but in 1588 William Lee did revolutionize hosiery making by producing the knitting frame or stocking frame. American names In the list of those who have labored to perfect knitting machinery are W. O. Gist, Almet R'eid and Griswold. PUN AIR POSTAL SERVICE Is Expected by Englishmen to Be One of the First Innovations When Peace Is Declared. Airplane postal service will be one of the first innovations of peace In England. The problem ta already being worked oat in detail, even to Ifce cost of postage and hours of collection and delivery. It is also said that within the first few months after peace a +ronc!.o*l<inH/> filrnlnno sprvipp will hft 14HO U^iKlllLlV Ut. ?w ..... _ established. Airplane engineers say that the problem of constructing a machine for transatlantic flight has been solved in theory, and machines which would cross the Atlantic could be built to-day if It were not that the long distance busse* of war time must also be heavy weight carriers. The most interesting result of these peace plans is that it has been found possible to arrange the collection and delivery of lett#rs between London and Glasgow with such dispatch that a correspondent in London will be able to receive a written answer within the working day. Applied to the middle West, an exchange says, this means that a Kansas City business man will be able to send a document to St. Louis, Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis, Sioux Fails, Omaha, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Texarkana or Little Rock when he reaches his office In the morning and receive It back duly signed before he goes home. The estimated postage for this service works out at 8 cents per ounce. And Spain, Too! Although neutral Spain may not be In the war, the Spaniards are certainly in it. The French have been perfectly well aware that hundreds of - Span 3 ? J T anr?

The Spanish colony patriotically welcomed them with fiery speeches, while the French loaded them with medals. Three received the reward of the Legion of Honor, and scores the Croix Millta ire and the Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strictly lpgal point of view, the Spanish legionaries have imperiled their nation's neutrality, it will be interesting ti\ know what Berlin will have to say about it; or rather about the 56 sinkings of Spanish ships and the 56 protests marie by Spain, which "friendly" Germany has consistently ignored.?
