who has charge of the case. Munoz told
this officer that at recent secret anarch-
ist meeting lots were cast to decide
which Of the members should kill the
boy king of Spain.
Extraordinary Precautions.
This statement has caused much anx-
iety, and the precautions to guard against
any attack upon the king have been
greatly increased.
Several of the anarchists now under
arrest have confessed that an attempt
was to be made to blow up tho royal
palace, but none until now has acknowl-
edged that a direct attempt upon the
life of the king would be made.
1t is thought that Munoz will make a
clean breast of his connection with tho
anarchist movement, and by this means
seek to escape the life sentence impend-
ing over him.

QUEER HABITS OF WILD GEESE.

Ihoy sometimes Build Ncsts In Trees
Eggs That stand Rough Usage.
via geese, under certain conditions
when caught, become quite domestic.
In Meeker, Col, according to the Den
yer Times, there arc three owned Mt the
Mcelter hotel which have been there
nearly live years They were caught
when young, and for awhile after be-
Ing grown their wings were kept
clipped. Afterward no attention wa.
PAID TO them, and they were left to take
care of themselves, but they have never
attempted to leave, though they ranble
about the town unrcstrainod
The superstition usually prevails that
wild geese build their nests in the long
grass and bushes fringing the isolated
streams and lakes, where they usually
congregate to rear their young Such,
however, is not the case, for their nests
arc often found in the tops of trees.
Quite resort for wild geese is found at
the head waters of the Yama river, and n
year ago two boys living near Steam
boat springs found nest in the top Of
cottonwood tree.
The goose was sitting on the nest,
and the two boys shot her off and then
climbed up to inspect the nest. 1t
contained quite n number of eggs, and
the next thing discussed was how to
get them to tho ground. First they
tried dropping them, the boy on the
ground holding his hat, but after break
ing two that plan was abandoned, and
then the boy up in the tree thought of
novel plan that worked TO perfection.
He took off his boots and socks. and,
placing the latter inside his boots to
form soft lining, carefully placed the
eggs within, then fastened his boots to
the waistband of his trousers by loosen
ing ms suspendcrs upon either side and
passing the ends through the finger
straps of the boots and again bnttoninr
them to the waistband. Thus ar
ranged he successfully descended the
tree.
The eggs, it seems, arc next 10 in
destructible, and will stand plenty OF
rough usage. In the present ease the
boys were on horseback, and rode
around all the afternoon with the cprs
strapped in IL coat or saddle. They
were placed that night in n pan until
the morning following and then it oc-
Cured to one of the boys to place them
under u hen, which was done. Seven
OF the eggs Matched, and the goslings
grew to be full grown geese. They
would go to the river every day and re-
turn to the accustomed roost every
night, regularly, and wait around for
their breakfast before going to the
river again in the morning.

1t Is now two months since the
cholera first made its appearance at
Djami, nm unimportant place on tho
frontier line between Afghanistan and
Persia, and tho little flamo of nppre-
to degree TINT has filled ali Europe
with alarm. The possible danger to
which tho United States has thus be-
como exposed through the channels of
immigration that discharge their cur
rents within its borders creates q
natural and widespread American in
forest in the subject. In spite Of I'LL
efforts made to stem the danger, ut the
present writing it has assumed and ro-
tains moro formidable aspect thnn
ever before Tho extension Of the
trouble into Russia, where 1t first took
root and which we must now consider
the most prolific source Of danger to
ourselves, at once suggests the impor-
tancc of our getting the Russian version
of the matter in preference to those
necessarily garbled accounts which
filter into our newspapers through
English sources
The truth Is that we must seek for
the birthplace Of the cholera epidemic
within tho confines Of British India or
at least In those sections Of the Indian
empire which are practically under
British control In Russia grave sus-
picion exists that tho English resident at
Cabul, in Afghanistan, knows moro Of the
true inwardness of the difficulty than
he or his superiors hnvo ever been will
ing to admit AS early as tho Goth of
April last several cases Of cholera were
reported in the valley of tho Helmund,
river that flows between Kandahar
and the Persian frontier.
Tho British resident hearing Of the
outbreak sent cipher dispatch to the
government officials at Calcutta, Whence
instructions wero forwarded to Lahore
directing the shipment of disinfcctants
in quantities to the Anglo-Afghan Dor
der. No public explanation was mode

visable to keep mattcrs quiet Mean
