Down at La Porte, Ind, they have what
is known as theological school. 1t has
teachers and students Just like other institu-
tions of learning. and any fond parent who
wants his boy to know all about horology
will find that good place to send him, says
the Kaleidoscope" man in the Detroit
Journal. 1t wasn't so a week ago, but it is
now. You see, for several months, the young
gentlemen who are delving after the secrets
of horology have been losing their tools and
appliances, which seemed to be waited away
by spirit hands, as it were. The losses be-
came so frequent and annoying that the
police were set 10 watch. When this is
done it usually means that it is desperate
case.
Well, on Thursday one Of the prominent
policemen saw Samuel Newman, horolog,
emerge from vacant building, and when
the young man had completed his emerging
the officer made search and found cart
load of plunder secreted in the house. New
man was arrested, of course. He claims

that earth water and air are conductors Of
sound.
Out in the depths of space in the whole
illimitable universe there must be an ele-
ment OF transportation for the rays of light
to pass as they do to enable us to see the
stars. What is it? We call it ether, for
want of a better name, but we really know
nothing about the matter, except that there
must be something there pervading every
inch OF space from star to star. The best
speculation on the subject, and speculation
is all that we have thus far, is that the SUBJ
stance is akin to our atmosphere, but of
such excessive tenuity, or rarity, that it is
about as near to nothing at all as we could
imagine. We know that atmospheres are
evolved in the making of planets, as we'll as
the solid spheres which they enclose. If in
the great workshop of nature there Is ma
terial out of which to make the solid parts
of a planet, like our earth, there must also
be the stuff out of which atmosphere is made,
and this universal ether may be the raw
material out of which comes such air as we
are breathing at this moment.

A Novel Ceremony Performed In suburb
of Kansas City.


James Cummings, and Miss Sue Howard
adopted a novel way of getting married az
Independence yesterday, says the Kansas
City Times. After procuring a license
from Deputy Recorder Packard the young
people drove in a buggy to the First Bap-
tist Church, on North Pleasant street. Here
the young man got out of the buggy, and
entering the study room Of the church and
showing the license, told the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Maiden, to follow him.
The minister did so and was somewhat as
tonished when the young man got up in his
buggy and told the reverend gentleman TO

asked the young lady II she understood what
she was doing, and on her replying that she
did, pronounced them man and wife.
At the conclusion OF these unusual pro-
ceedings the minister was handed fee and
the newly married couple drove rapidly
away looking as happy as "clams at high
