LIVES AFTER FALL INTO MT. VESUVIUS

Rome, Sept. 12. -- While taking motion pictures of Vesuvius, Baron Parisch, director general of the Myriam Films of Rome, slipped off the edge of the crater and plunged headlong into the depths, but struck a protuberance, where he clung desperately to some shrubbery.

He was rescued by means of a rope dropped to him.

LIGHTNING BOLT CURES PARALYSIS

Jacksonville, Vt., Sept. 12. -- Mrs. William Paddock of this town recently experienced a remedy that is certain to kill or cure. The results to her were of the happiest nature. Some months ago Mrs. Paddock suffered a stroke of paralysis, and had since been unable to walk. During a severe thunderstorm the other day a bolt of lightning struck near where she was sitting, and she jumped up and ran. Her legs have been all right ever since.
