Testing Nose Capacity.

Dr. Zwardemaker, of Utrecht, has been
experimenting with a simple arrange
mene he has devised for measuring the
sensibility to smell, says the Montreal
(Canadal Star.
1t is simply glass tube, turned up to
enter the nostrl, and containing a slid
ing cylinder of a material that allows the
passage of odors.
The extent to which the cylinder is
projected beyond this tube-that is, prac-
fically, the amount of surface of it ex-
posed to an odor-would measure the
keenness of scent of different people, or
the relative strength of odor from differ
ent sources to the same observer.
Trying one tube in each nostril, each
exposed to different odor, it was found
that only one could be perceived. In
some cases one odor seemed to equal the
other in effect. and then there was no
sensation OF smell at all.

Strange Story of the Supernatural.

The strangest story Of the supernatural
comes from Wales anent the collicry ex.
plosion at Morfa. 1t is said that recently
the ,fremen of the pit-men who are al.
ways selected for gravity and response
bility-heard mex plicable noises or shout
ings las they are describedD in.the work
ings, and that these noises were heard
not by one person alone. but by several,
when in company examining the pit.
Fu thermore, a miner. returning to the
surface, felt himself to be accompanied
by some invisible presence, which, al
though not seen by him, was seen by the
banksman 10 land on the bank and make
its way hastily to the shed where after
the explosion the dead and dying were
carried. These strange phenomena were
spoken OF and freely discussed before the
explosion, and a number of the miners
refused to 20 down into the mine, in
spite of all threats to prosecute them if
they persisted in their refusal. Other
curious instances of warnings are being
told which would yield Iratter of intsest
to the student either of folk lore or of
spirit lore. II Chicago News.

has only to be tied to complete the job.
But the moment he feels the young fell
lows weight upon him he rises like a
shot Everybody is breathless we
hardly know whether to laugh or be ter
rified.
But the pony doesn't debate. He
promptly hauls the would-be ''ridin'
boss" down with backward plunge, and
keeps dragging him little as he strug-
giles to rise, until his master has him
safely tied-and all with such little
snorts, such tossings of his pretty head,
and kickings out of the little slim heels,
such sharp neighs and flirting of his tail
as were for all the world like articulate
speech.
The next one missed his throw.
The next roped his steer and attempted
to throw him, but the animal was big,
his pony light, and with tremendous
plunge ahead it jerked pony and rider
forward, so that the man fell heavily
from the saddle, striking on the top and
back of his head. The pony and steer
seemed to be all around and over him.
He struggled to his feet only to sink
back again. We all groaned with hor-
ror Attendants galloped out as quickly
as possible and brought him in, when he
was found to have been only stunned by
the fall and untouched in the scufile af-
terward.
We breathed easier, and about this
time the pony, to our establishment, and
no doubt to the steers, succeeded in
throwing the latter, and now, in our re-
lief from the recent strain, we laughed
and applauded to our hearts content,
for the game little fellow-as though to
make assurance doudly sure and leave no
room for unpleasant accidents after all
his engineering and strategy-neyer let up
dragging his struggling enemy until he
was safely tied, all the while shaking his
head and "jawing back in the plainest
kind of horse talk, just as the little black
had done.
After this there were one or two fail
ures, one horse falling in prairie dog
hole and one man missing the throw it
had taken him long'to get close enough
TO make. And now came an unusually
wild, ugly steer; and the funniest kind
of pair TO run after him and catch him.
The pony was a little, ratty roam, and the
man big, heavy and awkward-looking.
Everybody laughed when they sailed in
close on the heels of the vamosing, buck
skin-colored steer. But that little beetle
bug of pony just caught up with the
great ng-legged creature, the big,
clumsy-looking man threw his rope like
a streak of fabricated lightning over his
horns, threw him endwise till looked to
hear his neck crack, then hoped out Of
the saddle like little circus boy and
tied him with neatness and dispatch.
He, out of all the fine athletic-looking
men on fleet ponies, was the one to take
the first prize, the saddle, and our hand
some boy who was manager of his fathers
ranch bore off the sombrero, which ought
to look appropriate enough on his black
curls and shading his brilliant black eyes.

To Destroy tho Duponts. Property.

A conspiracy is being waged against the
Duponts. who have the great powder-mllls
near Philadelphia. A month ago an ex-
piosion occurred that wrecked the powder
mills, killed twenty people, injured many
more, and since that time incendiaries have
set fire to the barns on the Dupont farms
and tried to blow UP the works. The con-
spiracy is one Of the greatest ever
known in the country. The Duponts
have offered $1,000 reward for the
capture Of the incendiaries. The
latest atrocity was the finding OF a
handful of matches In roll OF raw cotton
in the cotton-warp mill Of Barlow & Thatch-
CIR Mt Rising Sun, Pa. The mill and the
greater part Of Its machinery are owned by
Dupont g. Co., and Barlow & Thatcher are
the lessees and operators. About sixty men,
women, and children are employed In the
plant. The matches were luckily found by
a girl employed just before they reached q
picking" machine.
