No one saw their faces except the con-

Kansas City people are beginning to Won
der if the days of Jesse James have not
come again. Two robberles which would
have done him credit in his palmiest days
have occurred recently. one was the
train robbery OF last night. The other
was the robbery of a handful of dia-
monds from a jewelry store in broad day
light. keeping at bay at the point of a
revolver a pursuing crowd and the thief
escaping. Whether the two crimes have
any connection in the principals or not is
q question They both were extraor-
dinarily'bold and very successful. The
poor aim of the tram robbers is the only
thing of which jesse might have been
ashamed

LoHDoN, Aug. 4.-Dispatches from
Crete say that Riga Pasha, the new gov
ernor of the island, has ordered the with
dra#al of the troops into the forts with a
view Of preventing collisions with the
insurgents.
CAIRO, Aug. 4.-Gen. Grenfell, in his
official report of yesterday S battle, says
that the Dervishes made, repeated and
desperate charges upon his men They
were met by the infantry in line of bat
tie, supported by the Twentieth hussars
and Egyptian cavalry. The Egyptian
horse artillery did excellent service. The
Deryishes numbered 5000 lighting men
The British troops will not return to
Cairo. The Egyptian killed and wounded
nnInter about one hundred. The khe-
dive has sent congratulations to Gen.
GrenfeIl. II has been decided that per-
ieaAent occupation of Sarras is necessary

movement on Dongola is deemed useless
unless the government. assents TO the
views Of English generals that Berber

Disastrous Defeat
CAIRO, Aug. 3.-Besides Wad FL Jumi
the slain on the Dervish side include
twelve emirs and nearly all the fighting
men. Fifty standards were captured by
the Egyptians. Gen. Grenfell marched
out Of Toski at ) O'Clock this morning
with & strong accommodating force of
cavalry and camelTy, and advanced close
TO the Dervishes camp. Making q feint
of retreating he drew the whole of Wad
El Jumi s force to n point within four
miles Of Toski. Here the Egyptian in
fantry were held in readiness for an at
tack and a general action was at once
begun. Dervishes made a gallant de-
Tense, but were driven from hill
to hill. The Egyptian cavalry made
Il succession of effective charges
in which Wad FL Jumi andjtheremirS were
killed. After seven hours hard fighting
the Dervishes were completely routed.
GunbOats are following scattered rem
nants of Dervishes' force along the river.
The latter party estimate the dead at 1900.
The Dervishes fOhgft desperately, throw
ing themselves upon the 9tlvancing COL
umns repeatedly and refusing quarter
The crisis of the battle was reached when
the Dervishes attempted to turn the ex-
trene right of the Egyptians. The stead
mess of the troops was admirable. Cav
airy here swept through the lines of the
enemy, breaking them up. No prisoners
are yet reported to hive Been taken. The

Philosop by and Not Insanity Seems to Have
Been the Cause.
The following are some of the more
noted suicides of which mention Is made
IN history. These do not SAVIOR much of
insanity, but rather Of stole philosophy:
Cato stabbed himself rather than live un-
der the despotic reign of Cesar; Themis-
tocles poisoned himself rather than lead
the Persians against his countrymen:
Zeno, when ninety-eight, hanged him =
self because he had put his
finger out of joint, aud Hannibal
and Mithridates poisoned themselves
to escape being taken prisoners. When
we search scriptures we find that Saul,
rather than fall into the hands of the
Philistines, commanded his armor- bearer
TO hold his sword that he might plunge
upon it; Samson, for the sake of being
revenged upon his enemies, pulled down
the house in which they wSre reReling
and ''died with them, and Judas Is
CARROT, after selling the Savior for thirty

HOW THE PIANO GREW.
Its Gradual Development from Beginning
of Two Strings.

Its Gradual Development from Beginning
of Two Strings.
H., Musical Courier.
The piano, as we see it to-day, is the
growth of centuries of invention. In its
infancy it was harp with two or three
strings. From time to time more strings
wereadded, and after awhile the cithara
was born The cithaTa was III the shape
of the letter p and had ten strings. it
took many centuries for musicians TO get
the idea OF stretching the strings across
an open box; but somewhere abouF the.
year 1900 this was thought of, and the
dulcimer made its appearance, the strings
being struck with hammers.
For another hundred yerrs these ham
mers were held in the hands Of the
players, and then a genius invented q
keyboard, which, being struck by the
fingers, moved the hammers. This in
strument was called a cIayicytherium or
keyed cithara. This underwent some
notifications and improvements from
time to time. In Queen Elizabeth g time
it was called q virginia.. Then it was
called q spine, because the hammers
were covered with the sDines of quilts,
which struck or caught the strings Of
wires and produced the sound.
From 100 TO 1900 it was much en-
Iarged and improved and called a harp
sichord, and this was the instrument
that Lady Washington, Mrs. Hamilton
and the fine ladies of revolutionary times
played on. In ITO Bartolomeo Cristo-
foil, an Italian, invented a key or key
board, such as we have now substan-
tally. which caused hammers to strike
the wires from above, and thus developed
the piano. In the past 80 years there is
no musical instrument which has so e6In-
pletely absorbed the inventive faculty OF
man as the piano. At the present day
the upright piano has the field almost
entirely to itself. and has reached such a

Ch1oroforming While Asleep.

There has been considerable discussion OF
late as to whether it is possible to chloroform
persons while asleep without waking them.
In confirmation that, under favorable cir
cumstances, this can be accomplished, The
New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal
cites the following case which occurred in
the New Orleans Charity hospital:
A child years of age suffering from
pleurisy, and it became necessary to draw Off
the fluid effusion which had accumulated in
his chest. He was very much afraid OF the
operation, and it was determined to attempts
it while he was asleep. On the following day,
while sound asleep, chloroform was admins
tered without awaking the child, and twenty
four ounces of fluid were withdrawn. The
child continued to sleep throughout the night,
and when it awoke the following morning
knew nothing OF the operation

Andubnn,s Tomb.

The fact that the remains Of the great
naturalist Audubon lie in an obscure and lit
tie visited portion of Trinity cemetery, New
York city, may be news to some readers, yet
such is the fact. At the late meeting in New
York of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, this fact YVES
brought to the attention of the members, and
it is believed that in the near future there
viii be erected a suitable monument to tho
memory of Americas first naturalist. II Is
proposed by the association referred to that
interest be taken in this project by scientists
in all departments, and in all portions Of the
country.

Sen r1ending Insects and Snakes.

The secretary of the Illinois Scientific asso-
citation not long ago related in Scientific
American the circumstance of breaking q
snake into pieces from one to two inches
long, from the anus to the tip Of his tail-two-
thirds of the whole way-then placing a cage
over him. On returning to the place, twenty
four hours after, the snake was there, sound
and whole, in full length.
In a recent issue Of the same journal,
New Hampshire correspondent says: A SINH
lar operation is performed by the insect
known as the earwig. One resting on board
was cut in two with a knife, when the head
half cr2wled away about a foot, and, after
making a circuit, came back to the tail half,
butted against it, and was again united with
it, when the severed insect became whole
perfect, living, moving object.

The Kafir or Crowned Crane.

The recent arrival in tho Central park, New
York city, of q Kaffir or crowned crane has
attracted attention from naturalists as to the
peculiarities of this rare bird 1t is from the
north of Africa and in some respects is SINH
lar to the African Paradise crane, with whom
it consorts in the Ethiopian wilds and to
which it is said TO be allied. It IS some three
feet in height and measures with the wings
opened about six feet from tip to tip. The
body is of a gray color, with red on the
throat; the breast and back are Of pale buT
and raven black hues. The waffle is well
defined and there is a curious bunch OF
bristles that grow straight up out Of the top
OF its head. These bristles at times are wide
and bushy like pompon, and again they be-
come closed up like a shaving brush.
