escape from ghosts, bogies and other

ford City, Ind, special to the Cincin-

Voss' feed store has been opened by
invisible hands, and great excitement
has resulted among the superstitious.
The door was found open three times
in one night, and the proprietor was
puzzled. The ghost disturbed moth
ing, but Voss disliked the idea Of
having q partner around whom he
could neither See nor talk with. and
who was SO careless in his habits as
to leave the door standing wide open
in the middle Of the night. A..
He determined to find out. so he
lay in wait. Presently he saw his
Angora cat make q sneak for the

the cat reaching out it's paw and

lh lioceAht Ii. Has a Record That Will Go
Down to Many Generations. "
81 innocent Ill, whose tomb was I'M
yelled in the Basilica Of ST John
Lateran in 1891, was one Of the most
re remarkable Of the successors of st.
Peter. A member of the house of
Cont (the counts of Seanil, he was
only ~, and still in the minor orders
when the assembled cardinals on the
death OF Celestine III, in january
ll9S, pressed the papal dignity upon
him.
He was then known as Lothian,
Cardinal Of SIS. Sergius and Bacchus
having been raised to place in the
Sacred college in his twenty seventh
year. while still sub-deacon. He
had employed his leisure in the COM
position OF treatises-o of them on
contempt of the world; another OF
more '9lr significance as affecting his ca
reer' on the sacred mystery of the
altar.
In this work he had taken the high
est ground as to the pre- eminence of
st. Peter over the other apostles.
he had now an opportunity of putting
his principles into practice, and in
doing 80 he was at once bold and
wary. He made good beginning by
reforming his own household-re-
trenching the luxurious OUTLAWS of the
papal court.
His next step was to make himself
supreme in the city of Rome by hav-
ing the citizens take oaths of al
leglance to him as urban project. He
then undertook to supplant the i'm
perlal authority in other italian cities
and to transfer the suzerainty of
Southern Italy from the emperor to
the pope. In bringing about the sep.
aration of Sicily from the empire he
avalled himself of racital antipathies.
In the rivalry between Philip II and
Otho Nv. he espoused the cause of the
latter and after Philips murder and
Othos marriage to his niece he
crowned him emperor ''by the grace
OF God and the Apostolic See." The
unlimited supremacy of the Papacy
over all the governments of Christen-
dom was his constant aim, and he was
ruthless in applying the pressure of
his spiritual power.
He humbled the kings of France,
England and Spain, encouraged the
military orders and the crusading
spirit brought Eastern patriots and
prelates to his great fourth Lateran
council, which dealt with all the chief
questions of the time, and left the Ro-
man See at its eliminating point of
influence when he passed away in the
ripeness of his faculties in the fifty
fifth year Of his age and the nineteenth
OF his pontifcate. The church may

Black and White Mice.

At meeting of the geological So
ciety Mr. Sclater exhibited some
curious black and white mice recently
added to the societvs collection of
living animals, says the Pail Mall Ca
zette. These creatures are the product
of Japanese ingenuity, and show sew
eral curious characteristics. Their
black and white color is remarkable,
since they appear to be merely va
riety OF the common domestic mouse.
They have habit, too, of pursuing
their own tails. This habit is paral-
leled in a rem arkable way by the
tumbler" pigeons. In the two cases
it may possibly be due to defect in
brain structure. In any case. the
peculiarities are handed down from
parentto offspring in both animals
The mice are usually called spinning
mice.''

GOOD ROADS.
Wise Investments for the Present and Flu

Wise Investments for the Present and Flu
ture Generations.
Bad roads force people to live in
cities; good roads tend to take them
out into the country. This observa-
ton reveals its force perhaps more
strikingly when read IN view of the
facts; of railroad Development, to
which the especial attention of the
American people has been given dur
ing the past forty years. The rail-
roads have centralized the population
in the cities and larger towns, and ar
ranged them along their lines of COM
munication. Now what is needed is
an equal development of carriage
roads TO broaden the areas of popu-
lation and to relieve this congestion.
Railroads need better carriage roads
for feeders; farmers need them for &C.
cess to the railroads and to the cities;
manufacturers need them for access
to- less populous areas and for lower
rents and for less cost of portage and
transportation; merchants need them
as an element in the cheapening of
their wares; the people need them for
the reduction of the expense of salts
flying their wants and for the more ef-
fcient distribution of their activities.
All men work and plan, writes A.
A. Pope in the Forum, after supplying
their own and the immediate needs of
their families, to leave a good inheri-
lance to their children. All good cit.
liens take into their plans of public
expenditure the leaving of wise in
vestments to the next generation.
What wiser, surer and better inheri-
lance can we leave to our sons and
our successors than good roads-roads
that*can be preserved. and used at lit
tie expense and that endure both as
monuments and as investments during
the years and the centuries to come.

THE DRUM-FISH.
4 Natural Curiosity of the Most Curious
Kind.

Kind.
At meeting of the Berlin ply
Biological society Prof. Moebius
described most peculiar specimen of
the finny tribe-the drum fish. They
are found only in the waters of the
Harbor of Mauritics, the ST. Louis Re-
public states. and when caught and
held in hand they emit most ,strik-
ing noise-a sound resembling that
produced by tapping the head of a
tenor drum. A careful examination
OF this strange creature fails to royaal
any movement of the mouth. the only
motion observable being just behind
the gill slit where a continuous vibra-
ton of the skin may be SEEN The
portion of the skin which vibrates
stretches from the clavicle to
the bronchial arch. This is pro-
vided with four large bony
plates and lies just over the
air or swim bladder" Behind the
clavicle is a curiously shaped long
bone which is attached by the middle
to the clavic muscle in such a manner
as TO form lever with two arms,
The long arm of this horny lever is
imbedded in the ventral trunk muscles
and is capable of easy movement to
and fro. The short arm slides, dur
ing this movement over the rough
inner side of the clavicle which
gives rise to a cracking noise which
can be plainly heard at distance of
twenty feet. Naturalists are of the
opinion that the grating noise is in
tensiied by the near proximity of the
air bladder, the latter acting as a
resonator. Be this as it may, the
drum fish" is a natural curiosity of
the most curious kind Especially
does this strike home when we con
slider the maxim Of the older natural
lists: .,All fishes are mute:'
