A BOYS TERRIBLE CRIME

lie Murders a Weak-Ininded Girl. whom
He Had Ruined.
Annie kodaiz, q fiiteen-year-old girl, weak.
minded, was murdered October 7, by Albert
Kohls, sxteen-year-old boy who worked on
her fathers farm, near Milwaukee,, Wis
The murder was just di covered, and Kohls
confessed Kohls had been intimate with The
girl, aud she was soon 10 become mother
kohls killed her, he says, for this reason
On the dag Of the murder he FIRST put in the
soup the family Was 10 eat for dinner, enough
paris green to kill O regiment.
Mr. kodaiz CHANGED to be in a hurry, and
ate a plate OF souo before the rest Of the
family sat down to dinner. 1t made him sick
aud he warned the rest Of the family not to eat
it. lie had received such a big dose Of paris
green that il acted as an emetie, and did not
kill him.
Officers were called to inyes igate the poison
ing, and questioned every member o. the
family but Annie. She had disappeared less
than an hour before the officers arrived, aud
they concluded that she had attempted TO
poison the family and iled.
Farmer k0deiz investigated the cause of a
terrible odOr that was eniinating from the barn
end found the body, covered with manure
under the stable floor. The boy was arrested
on suspicion, ami confessed that he killed the
girl by striking hrr on the head With a
hammer. He had been sent 70 repair hole
in the barn floor, aud Annie was helping him.
While she was holding board for him to
saw he struck her four times on the head
threw her body through the hole in the floor,
covered it with stable refuse and nailed down
the floor. When the officers were inyesiigat-
ing the poisoning they questioned kOhls as to
the whereabouts Of Annie Kodatz. lie stolidly
told them he thought she had gone 10 the field
10 work, and excited no suspicion by his
manner. Even now be does not appear to
realize that he has committed a crime.

A TRAVELLING Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is triple
peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or
eight miles in length where it fronts the
river, and rises to a height OF almost 1000
feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
which would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of any one passing it, yet it
is we'll established fact that this entire
mountain is moving slowly but steadily
down to the river, as if it had deliber-
ate purpose some tima In the future to
dam the Columbia, and form great lake
from the Cascades to the Dalles.
The Indian traditions indicate i'm
mense movements OF the mountains in
that region, long before white men came
to Oregon, and the early settlers-im-
migrants many of them from New Eng
land-gave the above-described mount
ainous ridge the name of "traveling,"
or "sidiug mountain"
In its forward and downward move
ment the forests along the base of the
ridge have become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps can be seen
standing deep in the water on the shore
The railway engineers and the brakes
men find that the line of the railway
which skirts the foot of the mountain is
being continuously forced out of place.
At certain points the permanent way
and rails haze been pushed eight or ten
feet out of line in few years.
Geologista attribute this strange phe-
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes tae bulk of the mouat-
ain, rests on a substratum of congIom-
crate or of soft sandstone, wlicl the
deep, swift current of the mighty river
is CONSTANT, wearing away, or that this
softer sub. rock is of itself yielding at
great depths to the enormous weight of
TIE harder mineral above. -YsO York

characteristics of the Antarctic Seas.

The Antarctic seas are well known to
whalers for their sharp gales of north
and northwest winds, and the difficulty
of navigating thale ice-baIring seas is
intensified By the dense fogs watch 50
frequently obscure surrounding dangers;
aud the almost constant precipitation of
rain and snow also tends to increase the
miserable surroundings of those Inflated
mortals whose lot in life marks them out
to battle with the elements so tar from
comfort and civilization. To aecentuate
by contrast the extreme GOODNESS and
loneliness of these dreary wastes, nature
has bestowed on it a brilliant burning
mountain over 1900 feet in height,
which has been named Mount Erebus.
1t is situtted in rs degrees south lati.
tude, near the supposed location of the
southern magnetic pole. A pecu,arity
of the Antarctic zone is the fact that the
vegetable kingdom has no representa-,
tive, not even a lichen or piece of sea-
weed growing on the ROCKS, and no land
animals have been observed. The Ant.
arctic regions are remarkable for the
uniformity of their Low temperature

THY WILL BE DONE.

Not in dumb resignation
We lift our hands on high:
Not like the nerveless fatalist
Content to trust and die.
Our faith springs like the eagle
Who scars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto Thee
o Lord, Thy will be donel
When tyrant feet are trampling
Upon the common veal,
Thou dost not bid US bend and writhe
Beneath the iron heel.
In Thy name we assert our rigdt
By sword or tongue or pen,
And even the headsman's AKA may fash
Thy message unto men.
Thy viii 1t bids the weak be strong;
1t bids the strong be Just;
No lip to fawn no hand TO beg,
No brow to seel, the dust.
Wherever man Expresses man
Beneath Thy liberal sun,
o Lord, be there Thine arm made bare,
Thy righteous viii be done.
