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.

A report to the Academy of Medicine
held that modern appliances and con

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

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

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
