Burglars in Reclus, Home.

Citizen Elisee Reclus, the eminent
geographer and fnTeterate revolutionist
is not in luck just now. Only recently
the Academic decided against him in
awarding its biennial prize of 200, ,O0(
francs, and now his habitation has beer
ransacked entirely, during his absence
by burglars What the malefactors ex.
pected to find in the abode of the hard
working savant, who, in spite of his dis
tinguished labors, is known to have
amassed but few of'this worlds goods, il
is difficult to say.
They, however, broke into his little
villa at Sevres, forced open all the locks
and smashed most of the furniture.
Fortunately for the ends of justice a
watchman on duty near by who saw
lights in the house had his wits about
him. Armed with a spade, he waited
for the burglars to come out, and felled
one of them to the ground with his
weapon. The others escaped, but will
doubtless be discovered through the in
strumentality of the man in custody

A New Swindle.

The police have discovered new
swindle that shows great ingenuity
among the crirain practicing it, and
is entirely novel. 1t is another evidence
of the deep GINNING of thieves, which
has been rendered keen and daring by
the intense COZ npetition among the class
who live on the confidence of others.
The new swiJ IDLE takes in the cunning
pawnbrokers and the astute police detect
ives and is a marvel of artistic crime.
The scheme is as follows: A man who
tNsars a good reputation, but whose mo-
ra Nity is below the average, buys fine
gold watch, which is distinctly marked,
so tNat it cat be easily identified. He is
in le.V Vgue VII ii a swindler, who takes the
watch and p 2wns it, then skips out with
the m,Vney. The owner of the watch
goes to the police, tells plausible tale
of how he W as robbed and leaves de-
scription of his property. 1t is soon
found in the pawnshop and recovered.
If not practit ed too often it is a very
good swindle. Confidence men without
local habitatic n travel around the coun-
try practicing this swindle. It is per-
fectly safe.
One represe nts himself as travelling
man, railroai man or some other bird
of passage, and the other is the unknown
thief. It is bella 9ved that this swindle has
been practiced successfully for some
time, but the police are now watch
ing" for suspioi GUS leases. st. Louis

Roulanger,s Friends VIII.

Fuller details respecting the will of the
late Nine. de Bonneraains, Gen. Bou-
hangers friend, are now published. She
inherited from her aunt 936, 900, of which
she only enjoyed the interest, the prin-
cipal being bound up strictly. Some
months after the death of her relative
Nine. de Bonnemalns mortgaged for
10000 francs half of the ''nue propriete"
or usufruct Of her inheritance, thus
leaving only e1S,0Oe. This sum she has
now left to Nine, Dutens, her universal
legatee, who has to pay the charges on
it, comprising bequests amounting TO
10000 francs and duties. The legatee is
also to pay the debts of the testatrix,
which are said to be copsiderable.-Lon-

Iivelv Bass in greenwood Lake.

Joseph &. Buchanan, of the American
Press Association, is spending the sum
mer at Greenwood lake, and he goes out
fishing almost every evening. Wednes-
day night a boy was waiting for him
with his tackle when theup train reached
the lake.
Mr.. Buchanan began casting frogs on
the way to his boarding house, and failed
to get single strike. As he was nearing
his boarding house, in passing up West
Milford creek, which empties into the

of one of his oars, and at the same in

a Curious Mining Coincidence.

The figure 3 is curiously and intimate
ly connected with all the great gold
mining excitements of the Nineteenth
century. The great Algerian gold bub-
bic formed and broke in 1909. Next
came the Mantazan mountain craze in
1889, when solid powders of gold as
large as -four barrels were reported. The
California gold fever broke out in 1s49,
and ragged until counteracted by the
Pixies Peak boom in 1853. Ten years
later, in 1859, "Old Virginy," the cele-
brated miner, struck the lucky lead
which made Virginia City and Nevada
famous in the mining annals of the
world. Eighteen hundred and seventy
nine came in on time with the Leadville
frenzy and the famous ''carbonates" Of
Lake county, Colo. Eighteen hun
dred and eighty-nine broke the charm
but 1899 may make q for lost time
there being two 9s in that date.-St

THE ONLY EVIDENCE.

'You are mistaken" said Professor
Ward, "though your mistake has beer
that of the world of science until recent
ly. Bones Of the mastodon have beer
found split open in such a way that the
object of breaking them was evident. II
was to obtain the marrow within. But
more, the stone head of a hatchet with
which the work was done has been found
near by. Now, there are no animals
which use stone hatchets to break up
bones. That hatchet head was once the
implement Of some primeval warrior. A
shoulder blade Of the mastodon, bone
comparatively thin, has been found
pierced, as if by spear, and the spear
head has been found with it. The spear
was evidently thrust in and withdrawn
from the body o. the animal, and when
1t was withdrawn its head was probably
torn Off Monkeys don't carry spears.
But, though these evidences are con-
vincing enough, they are not the best
proof we have that man existed in the
days of the mammoth and the mastodon
and has survived them both. Anti
quarians who have spent so much time
In an endeavor to discover the meaning
of the mounds erected by the mound
builders have made one thing certain.
Many of these mounds were constructed
in the shape of animals and birds. There
on the wall hang a number of facsimiles
of these mounds. They were prepared
by a member of the Milwaukee His
torical society. There is one which evi-
IDENTIFY represents hawk or some similar
bird of prey with outstretched wings,
and there is another which evidently
portrays some squirrellike animal with
3 remarkably long tail, and here you
have as perfect a representation of an
elephantlike animal as could well be con-
triyed
''Now, had the mound builders been
as learned IN comparative anatomy as we
are, and had they reconstructed mas
todon as we have, they could never have
understood the meaning OF the cavity in
the skall which indicates to as that the
animal had a trunk. We could never
have done that had we not seen an ele-
phant Nc, the mound builders saw the
mastodons before they became extinct
They hunted them and, perhaps, We're
practically instrumental IN their exter-
mlnation. Rochester Post-Express.
