The Mystery of Caspar Hauser.

Caspar Hauser was German you'll
whose life was remarkable from the APP
parently inexplicabie mystery that sur
rounded it. He appeared in the streets
of Nuremberg, in Bavaria, on May 20,
1928, dressed in the garb of peasant,
having peculiarly helpless and
''bewildered air, and naturally attracted
the attention of everybody. In his pos
session was found letter purporting to
be written by poor laborer, saying
that the boy was given into his custody
ON October Z, 1872, and, according to
the agreement made with those from
whom he had received the child, he had
Kept him in close confinement until the
time for relinquishing his custody had
come; that meanwhile he had instructed
the boy in reading, writing and the
Christian religion, though carefully
avoiding books with illustrations, which
might give his pupil some knowledge OF
outside objects. Along with this letter
the boy had in his possession another,
said TO have been written by his mother,
saying that the child had been born
April 30, 1872, seven months before he
was placed IN the laborer's custody;
that his name was Kaspar, and that his
father, Lieutenant Hauser, was q cavalry
officer in u Nuremburg regiment and
was then dead. Upon his appearance
in the streets of Nuremburg Kaspar
showed strong repugnance to any
kind Of food save the bread and water
to which he rad been accustomed while
living in confinement, and also dis
played the grossest ignorance Of the
most common external objects, point
ing to q tree ard asking what it was.
He was detained as a Nagrant by the
authorities until July Is, 1928, when
Professor Daumer, seeing that his was a
most remarkable case. took him IN
charge. On October II, 1929, while still
with his new found friend, he appeared
one morning with severe wound on
his forehead, claiming that man with a
blackened face had assaulted him. He
was removed to the house of magis-
trate, where Earl Stanhope saw him and
became interested in the peculiar in
dividual. Through the kindness Of the
Earl he was sent to Ansbach to school,
where he received good education.
After graduation he became an attache
OF the house of Feuerbach, principal OF
the Court of Appeal, where heremaiped
several years, when his strange history
was forgotten until revived by his death
in December, 1888, from deep wound
in his left breast, which Kasper de-
clared had been inflicted by the same
man with the blackened face, who had
before attacked him, and who, he in

How They Travelled Long Ago.

In the reign Of the Emperor Theodot
sius (who died A. ID. 376,a magistrate o.
high rank had to go on important bust
ness from Antioch to Constantinople.
He began his journey one evening about
sunset, and by the time the sun went
down tho next day he was in Capadocia,
165 miles from Antioch. On the sixth
day. about noon, he was at his journeys
end. The whole distance Travelled was
Cos miles. Houses were erected on the
great highways at intervals of about six
miles. and each was provided with forty
horses. Those only who had imperial
mandate might use these horses, but with
their help it was easy TO travel 100 miles
day with comfort.
Surprising, now, a great general sta
toned at Newcastle had been obliged to
repair to Jerusalem, he would have
found nm excellent road the whole way,
except where it was interrupted by an
English channel, the Alps and the Adri-
attic. He would go thus: Newcastle,
York, London, Sandwich, Boulogne,
Rheims, Lyons, Milan, Rome, Brundu-
SUM, Dyrrachium, and so across the
Adriatic to Constantinople, thence to
Ahcyra, Tarsus, Antioch, Tyre and Je-

Pooling a Spider.

A gentleman was watching some spi-
ders, when it occurred to him to try
what effect the sound of tuning fork
would have upon them. He suspected
that they would take it for the buzzing
of a fly.
He selected large, ugly spider that
had been feasting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge OF
its web. Sounding the fork, the man
touched thread at the other end and
watched the result. Mr.. Spider had the
buzzing sound conveyed to him over his
telephone wires, but how was he to
know on which particular wire it was
travellingl
He ran to the centre of the web very
quickly and felt all around until he
touched Ehe thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding;
then. taking another thread along, Just
as a man would take a. extra piece OF
rope, he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon it.
Then he retreated little way, and
looked at the fork He was puzzled.
He had expected to find buzzing fly.
He got on the fork again, and danced
with delight. Evidently the sound was
music to him Toronto Globe.

A Cure for Lockjaw.

Lock;aw is generally popularly be-
ieved to be invariably fatal. Recoveries
are, indeed, comparatively rtre, and yet
they do take place. The proportion Of
them is much larger now than it was a
score of years ago, and it is safe to pre-
dict that it will grow larger as time goes
on and the malady is better understood.
Professor Rienzi, since 1882, las APP
piled one form of treatment ii six cases,
with the result of obtaining five cures.
The essentials Of his treatment are as
follows: l. The patient, having the
ears stuffed with cotton or wax, is to be
kept in a quiet room, and IN total dark
ness. ,. The sick room, as well as the
adjoining ones, is to be thickly carpet
ed in order to avoid the noise of foot
steps. 3. The room is to be opened for
ventilation every four hours with the
greatest care. The Diet is to consist of
LIQUIDS, milk, eggs beaten in broth,
water and wine, etc. 4 All light neces-
sary shall carefully be covered from the
sight OF the sick. 3. If constipation ex-
lists, both purgatives and injection are
intcrdicted. Above all, quietness IS
necessary. 6. Should the pains be in
tense, with the object of quoting, pow
dercd belladona and ergot of rye should
be used.

Ran Away in a Balloon.

Some time ago Adolph Weaver began
advertising himself in Vienna as Senior
Jabw, "the great South American aero
naut." He put notices in all the dailies
and on all the bill boards that on June
2 he would ascend to some fabulous
height in balloon and drop back to
earth under a parachute. About q
week before the date OF the proposed
ascension Senior Jabw, alias Weaver,
began to live extraordinarily high. He
bought great quantities of iewelry, laces
and silks for his wife, and wines and
fine cigars galore for himself. He ate
at the best hotels and ordered clothes
of the most fashionable tailors. He
paid for nothing, however. He told
the jeweler and the tailor and the
dressmaker and the liquor dealer that
he would settle accounts with them i'm
mediately after the balloon ascension,
from,which he expected to realize much
money. With the credulity character
istic of Continental German tradesmen,
they believed him. They sold him all
he wanted on credit. and tried to sell
him more.
On June / Senior Jabw invited the
city officials of Vienna to observe his
final rehearsal before the exhibition.
In the presence of the Mayor and the
City Council he and Sonora Jawb, alias
Frau Viewer, and the parachute ascend
ed in balloon, as high as a hundred
foot rope, made fast to tree and the
balloon car, would allow. After bob
bling about over the official heads of
Vienna for couple of minutes, Senior
Jabw cut the rope that held him to
Austrian soil, and blew away. That is
the last Vienna and its City Council
and its tradesmen have seen of Senior
Jabw.
Warrants were sworn out by his cred
itors for his arrest on the afternoon Of
his departure. Telegraphic instruc-
lions to detain him were sent out by the
Viennese police to the police of all other
Austrian cities. The chief of detectives
in st. Poelten replied that the balloon
had already passed the city. From
Linz came similar report. Dispatches
from northeastern towns announced,
eventually that the fugitive balloon was
over the Bavarian boundary, where'Aus-
trian policemen and Austrian warrants
were powerless.
The bills of the credulous Viennese
tradesmen against Jsbw Viewer were q
dead loss to their holders. The aero
naut and his wife had struggled out OF
Vienna all their belongings several days
before their flight. The officers, who
went to their apartments to attach the
articles they had never paid for, found
there only Lare floors and bare walls.

calamities in Congress.

The disaster at Johnstown makes the
third colossal calamity in this country
in recent years. The destruction of
Portland, Me-, in 1866, and of Chicago
IN 1871, both by fire, touched the SYM
pathetic heart of the people just as the
floods of Johnstown are doing now. In
the former instances Congress at once
came to the relief of the stricken com
munities. Direct appropriations Of
money were not made, but a greater
measure of relief was afforded, no doubt,
by abolishing the Customs and Revenue
laws, so far as those points were con-
cerned, for one year. These commun-
tiles were absolved from payment of all
tithes to the government. Whatever
they needed, of foreign importation, to
construct their homes and business
houses and put them again on fight
ing equality with their neighbors, was
relieved of all government tax. No
doubt the bill for the relief of Johnstown
will be formed on the model Of the Port
land and Chicago bills, and the views.

Jewels That Are Glass.

Most Of the worlds beads are Vene-
tian. In the island Of Muraro a thou
sand workmen are devoted to this
branch. The first process is to draw
the glass into tubes of the diameter OF
the proposed bead. For this purpose
the glass-house at Murano has a kind OF
rope-walk gallery $50 feet long. By
gathering various colors from different
pots and twisting them into one mass
many combinations of color are made.
The tubes are carefully sorted by diam
eters, and Clipped into fragments OF
uniform size. These pieces are stirred
in mixture of sand and ashes, which
fills the holes. and prevents the sides
from closing together when they are
heated. They are next placed in
kind of frying pan, and constantly
stirred over a fire until the edges are
rounded into globular form. When
cool they are shaken in one set of sleeves
until the ashes are separated, and IN
mother series of sieyes until they are
perfectly sorted by sizes. Then they
are threaded by children, tied in bun
dies, and exported to the ends of the
earth. france has long produced the
"pearl beads which in the finer forms
are close imitation of pearls. They are
said to have been invented by Nj. Joaquin,
in 1866. The common variety threaded
for ornament is blown from glass tubes.
An expert workman can blow five or six
thousand globules in day. They are
lined with powdered fish scales and
filed with wax. 1t takes 5000 fish to
make a pound of the scaly essence Of
pearl Until recently the heirs OF
Joaquin still carried on large factory of
these mock pearls. The best of them
are blown irregular to counterfeit nature,
some in pear shape, others like olives,
and they easily pass for genuine.
Imitation gems formerly employed
the chief attention of the highest arti-
ficers in glass. They are still the chief
idea of ornamental glass in China. In
the ancient and middle ages they circu-
lated everywhere without much danger
of discovery, and their formulas were
held as precious secrets. Blancourt
first published their compositions in
1896. Now they are common property;
and with the growth of science in the
past century an expert knowledge has
become widely disseminated which
easily detects the paste from the real
jewel, particularly as the modern false
stones are less successful copies than
the old glass-makers produced. More
study is now given to artificial gems,
which are true gems, being composed OF
the same materials as the genuine ones,
but manufactured. - Harper's Maya
zine.
