The romb Of Eve.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb Is at
Jiddah, the seaport OF Mecca. The tenn

solid stone roof "a curiosity which q Of
Itself the wonder Of the ORIENT Is supposed

woman. According to Arabian tradition,
Eve measured over 900 feet in height, which
strangely comedies with an account Of our
FIRST parents written by member. Of the
French academy of sciences few years
ago, who also claimed height Of over 200
feet for both of ths tenants of the Garden
Of Eden. Ewes Tomb which is grave
yard surrounded with high white walls,
and which has not been opened for asingle
interment for over a thousand years, is the
shrine of thousands of devoted Ishmael-
ties, who make pilgrimage to the spot
once every seven years.
1t is hemmed in on all sides by the tomb
of departed shiekhs and other worthless
who have lived oft their days in that re-
gion of scorching sun and burning sands
Once each year, on June 3, which is, ac-
cording to Arabian legends. the anniver-
sary of the death of Abel, the doors of the
temple which forms canopy over this
supposed tomb of our first mother remain
open all night in spite of the keepers eff
forts to close them. Terrible cries of an
Ruish are said TO emit from them, as
though the memory of the first known
tragedy still haunted the remains which
blind superstition believes to be deposited
there.-St. Louis Republic.

Rapidity of Thought.

Professor Donders, of Utrecht, recently
made some interesting experiments in re-
gard to the rapidity of thought. BY means
of two instruments, which he calls the
acknowledgement and the neornatacho-
meter, he promises some important and in
teresting results. His experiments up to
date show that it takes the brain one 067
of a second to elaborate single idea.
Writing in regard to this DOnders says;
Doubtless the time required for the brain
to act is not the same in all individuals;
believe however, that these instruments
may be perfected until we will be able to
determine the mental caliber of our friends
without our friends knowing that we are
testing their aptness." The professor fur
ther says; For an eye to receive an inn
preston requires OF of second, and for
the ear to appreciate sound, LAG of a
second is all that Is necessary, which, how.
ever, shows that the eye acts with nearly
double the rapidity of the ear"

A Family of Great Weight.

T. J. Benton, Of Dent county, Mo-, gives
the weight of his fathers family as follows;
"All of our family except father, who is SO
years old, are stout. Father weighs 100
pounds, Tom weighs 1886, Elijah 240, Henry
260, Sweeney POS, and | weigh, as | told
you, 1886, making total weight for the
five brothers of 1876 pounds, a pretty
heavy load for one horse to pull up hill. +"
Many stories are told of Mr.. Benton's
powers. On one occasion, while he was
marshal of Salem, two big burly six footers
attempted TO rule or ruin the town, defy
ing the officers and challenging any one to
arrest them. Mr. Benton took the OBJ
streperous couple, one under each arm, and
carried them to Jail, their legs and arms
blowing around in the air with the indus
try of new and entirely idiotic species Of
windmill. -Kansas City Star

ST. JOHNS, N. f., June 2S,-Sir Bald
win Walker, captain Of the British war
ship Emerald, has taken possession Of
Mr.. Baird's lobster factory at Fishell's
brook, st. Georges bay. He left four
marines in charge of the premises. Mr..
Baird had refused to obey two orders to
close his factory. Capt. Walker also
caused Mr. Baird's factory at Sandy
Point to be closed. 1t had been running
two years, SO that the modus vivendi
does not apply.
Mr.. Baird dispatched a solicitor to
serve a warrant on Capt. Walker for il
legal trespass and violation of the modus
vivendi. He will fight Capt. Walker in
the law courts, believing that he cannot
enforce the modus vivendi legally.
Twenty-six lobster packers will take the
same course. There is great excitement
at this news here, and the opposition to
the modus vivendi is fierce.

who win be Next Governor.

The Lebanon Register says: "In
our humble judgment the candidate
most likely to receive the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor Is
the man who will go into the con-
vention with the smallest number OF
instructed votes, and his name is
John M. Taylor and next to Taylor
some one of the many dark horses
now grooming to receive possible
bolt Of gubernatorial lightning. No
candidate will have approximately
enough votes to insure his nomina-
ton and Taylor is the only man in
the race upon whom the supporters
of the other candidates would be
likely to compromise, for the good
reason that he is the only one who
has not violently antagonized or
been antagonized by the Others. We
are not a prophet, but we venture
this prophesy, nevertheless and we
desire simply to add that the Democ-
racy of Tennessee might do very
much worse days work than to nomi-
nate this gallant and upright son Of
Henderson.

they might defeat Delamater. AS it
is, his nomination may encourage
them to bury their differences. The
chances are that Delamater will be
elected, but it looks as if his noml-

A new telephone has been brought out in
England, the characteristic point of which
is the mouthpiece. The particular advan-
tage claimed by the inventors of this mouth
piece Is that 1t intensifies the sound waves,
and thus renders it possible to carry on
conversation in an ordinary tone of voice.
The mouthpiece is simply a truncated cone,
which is clamped on to the telephone. By
using an India rubber ring between the
mouthpiece and the telephone any escape
of sound is entirely prevented. The cone
is double, the outer cone being perforated
with holes, the idea being that the vibra-
lions caused by the sound waves on the in
terror cone have full freedom and are en-
tirely protected from contact with external
substances. -New York Commercial Ad-

velops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a

Mr. FRANCIS and His Island.

J. J. Francis, @. c., of Hong Kong, can
be, like Defoe' g immortal creation, monarch
of all he surveys when he lands upon the
island of Balambangan, off the coast of
north Borneo. The island was conceded
to Mr. Francis during a holiday visit which
that gentleman paid to Borneo, and Is de-
scribed as being close upon fifty miles In
circumference, and lying about ten or
eleven miles off the extreme northern point
of Borneo. 1t is 100 miles from the port OF
Sandakan, and has no inhabitants nor any
trace of any The northern half of the
island is sandy plain, well suited for pas
turing cattle or for cocoanut planting.
The other side consists of dense jungle Of
large trees, something after the style Of
tho dark forest which so impeded Mr.. Stan
ley In his last journey across Africa. The
shore, as Is common in the tropics, Is
fringed with mangroves. There Is an
abundance of fine limestone on the hills,
the highest of which reaches over 400 feet,
and In the valleys is soil evidently very
suitable for coffee planting There are two
good harbors. Wild cattle are apparently
abundant, and there are three species of
deer and plenty of wild pigs, but no croco
dies. So far Mr.. Francis has formed no
definite idea as to what he shall do with
Balambangan, but he intends to send a
competent man down to examine and re-
port upon the place. Exchange

In the course of some excavations for a
new road on the Sea View estate at Broad
stairs a discovery of human skeletons and
several vases or urns has been made. The
vases, three of which were preserved in
tact, vary from four inches to six inches
In height; they also vary in shape, and the
fact that they are exactly similar to the
Roman cinerary urns which have been
found in large numbers in different parts
of the coast in this neighborhood points to
their having been placed where they were
discovered by the hands of the Roman in.
vaders of the island. The position where
they were found Is at the extreme end of
the island, very near to the North Fore
land Lighthouse. The graves which were
opened out in the course of the cutting of
the road were close together and not more
than two feet below the surface Some of
the skeletons found were lying across one
another, from which it is supposed that
the dead may have been rudely inferred
