Hi
How He Runs After Information
in Germany.

The school children Of Germany now
furnish a favorite and i~nexhaustible body
OF subjects for the German doctors to ex-
pertinent upon. These indefatigable ex-
perts have been for a long time examining
the eyes Of the school children-fnding
out just how many to the thousand are
long-sighted, how many are short-sighted,
and how many are color-blind what pro-
portion Of each class comes from the coun-
try, and what from the city. and what
from the city suburbs. Now they have
begun on the children's ears. DR.. We'll
OF Stuttgart has already examined 4,500
children in this respect-probably, there
fore, 5000 ears. The aurists find out how
far the normal ear can hear whispering.
and how far the abnormally dull or acute
ear can hear it they have also discovered
that defects Of hearing are common"
that the percentage Of defective hearing
increases with age" and several other
wonderful things. 1t Is at least to be said
that the children profit by these minute
examinations. For the occulists some
times succeed in having the seats so placed
that the light will fall properly for the
stu dents, while the aurists insist that be-
fore a child Is punished for habitual mat
tention it's ears should be tried. to see
whether they are not dull OF hearing.

A REVOLVING CRIME.
A Heartless Father Guilty OF In.

fanticide, Arson and Suicide.
The Butte Miner OF Tuesday morning
gives the details OF Q horrible crime in the
following language: civilian Busch fred
his house, murdered his boy and killed
himself, at the Colorado smelter, near
Butte. about 4 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The whistles and the fire bells sounded the
alarm at 4 o'clock, and crowds Of people,
excited by the late deplorable fire. rushed
to the scene, little knowing that the burn
ing walls concealed the traces Of the most
detestable crime known in the annals Of
the Pacific Coast.
civilian Busch has resided in Butte
since 1876, and kept q boarding-house near
the Colorado smelter, southwest Of Butte.
A number Of men working at that smelter
boarded with him. Tired with Q hard
days work, they were sleeping, when
aroused by the roar. OF flames. Many of
them barely escaped with their lives,
leaving their clothing and effects behind
them. One OF them bore out the body Of
the murdered boy. Another plunged
through his window, leaving his watch,
money and clothing behind him, and cut
ting and ~injuring himself severely. After
the fire was ~extinguished, a shapeless and
hideously burned human body was found
in the ruins. This was what was left Of
the murderer and suicide.
John Duress, a boarder, heard a shot,
rushed into the bedroom and found it in
flames. A strong scent of kerosene per-
vaded the air. The little boy lay on the
bed encircled by flames. There was no

body Of the child, but in the meantime an
other hidden witness OF the crime had
heard more particulars of the most tragic
scene on record. When Busch rushed into
the room where his handsome, innocent
boy lay peacefully sleeping, another boarder
in the room overheard the father, O to
become a murderer, sobbing and crying.
When Duress ran in and found the boy
bleeding and wrapt in fire, he (Duress)
cried out, "Oh, he has killed his child p'
Then the hidden witness overhead heard
the miserable wretch (who had set his own
house on fire and who was then crawling
under the bed cry out, ooh, no; he did

agonized utterancei The father had come

ousy. He had fred a ball through the
body Of the sleeping innocent. Then the
boy, waking, seeing the flames, and gladly
recognizing in this hour Of pain and dan
ger that his father was standing by his
side, had called out, as heard by the wit
ness overhead, "Oh, father p Then the
monster in human form had shot him
again through the head, killing him in
The body OF the child was un-
burned, but he breathed his last a few
minutes after being carried to the house
Of Mr.. Williams. The first shot entered
on the right side Of the body, just above
the stomach, and came out about two and
a half inches to the left Of the spine. The
second shot entered on the left side OF the
and was taken out Of the right Of
the base of the skull, being necessarily and

The Baldwin Elevator Gives Way
and Drops to the Ground Floor.
Whether the reason Of it be bad luck or
bad management, it is a fact that the ele-

all over the lower portion of the building,

HOPE.
Something Of value Must Soon BE
Found.

The Enterprise does not despair OF the
situation on the Comstock. II says stocks
showed an encouraging upward tendency
Wednesday. Explorations are o being
carried into very interesting and prom
ising ground from end to end OF the lode.
It will be very strange IL something of
value is not ere long found at some point.
A development In n one OF the leading
mines just at present would cause lively
times in stocks. In scores o. places drifts and
erosscuts are being run into metal-bearing
material. This shows that the conditions
are all that could be desired. What is
wanted Is to hit upon a spot where the
metal-now scattered through such great
areas Of rocks concentrated or massed.
The vein is the same as in places where
rich bonanzas were found in the past, and
In the past there were times when there
were long and expensive hunts for bonan-
zas, but they were found at last. Our best
guide, as we cannot see into the ground,
Is the past. We must Judge as to what
Will be seen by what has been seen.

JOKE.
A Review Of that Nocturnal. As
sauIt Upon LeOnfdas Haskell.

The SENTINEL published yesterday
morning an account Of an attack upon
Mr.. Leon Haskell the evening before. The
publication was made in good faith and
upon information Enthusiastically given
to a highly respectable gentleman, who re-
ported the story at this Office as he got it
from the lips of Mr.. Haskell. Mr.. Has
kell, we are informed, told the same tale
at the skating rink during the evening to
a number of ladies and gentlemen. Even
now we are unable to make up our mind
whether Mr.. Haskell intends his original
story for a joke or whether there is a joke
somewhere concealed in his denial. II he
did get up the "josh" that he is credited
with, he is entitled to the satisfaction that
he made a success Of it. The Sheriff and
two other officers, putting implicit faith
in Mr.. Haskell's statement, went to work
Immediately and theoretically, and secured
the town for hours in quest OF the ioker's
myth. This sort Of "joshing" may be adj
missible; it may be a harmless, boyish piece
Of mischief; it may be pardonable for a
boy to startle q whole town with a cock
and-bull story in which there is nothing to
laugh at; but when q young gentleman
rises to the dignity of Secretary Of q Sun
day school, he ought to put such trivial
things behind him.

Gold Robbery from n Museum.
The London Mining Inurnal Ia infnrmad

Gold Robbery from n Museum.
The London Mining Journal Is informed
by the Rev. DR.. Honeyman, D. G. L., the
curator Of the Provincial Museum, Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, that the museum has
been entered at night. and two magniA-
cent specimens Of auriferous quartz stolen.
They were exhibited at the Centennial Ex-
hibition in the Canadian Department, and
also at the last Paris Exhibition in the
same department, so that they will proba-
bly, be known to most dealers. They were
obtained from the Oldham gold mines,
Nova Scotia, and contain about So ounces
OF gold. Their intrinsic value was esti-
mated at $1,000. but they were highly
priced as specimens, as the opinion was
unanimously expressed by Australian and
Californian gold miners that nothing like
them had been seen. As it is not at all
unlikely that they may find their way to
England it is desirable that the robbery
should be made known, so that not only
dealers but those invited to interest them
selves in gold mining speculations may be
on their guard.
