Was He Commodore Millerp

The belief has gained ground, in
Dallas, Texas, that the brute, Com
modore Miller, wanted there fora cold
blooded murder, is identical Seay J
Miller, whe was put to death at Bard
well, Ky, for the murder and outrage
of two excellent and deserving young
ladies. Sheriff Ben Cabell, of Dallas
county, speaking on the subject said;
81 believe the lynched negro to be
none other than Commodore Miller
He said that the name the negro gave
his manner and works just before the
execution, and the name Of his wife in
connection with other things led him
to believe that the man was Commo
dOre. This negro's wife is named
Berthe, Commodore's wife is named
BERTHE; and Sheriff Cabell says he has
heard Of Commodore in Cincinnati
and places in Illinois. He has written
the City Marshal Of Bardwell and
Springfield, enclosing photographs Of
Commodore and a full description Of
him. To the city marshal of Spring,
field he gave description of Commo
dore's wife, and if the executed man
was Commodore it will soon be
known in Dallas"

writer iaments the fact that, like q

in intelligence, is consuming at Il rate
nearly 100 fold beyond what is just
the supplies which, as heirs of all the

The death of the earth and the sun

the end of all life upon this earth;
but the human race of today Is taking
care that it shall cease to exist mil
lions of years before this shall come
to pass.
SO rapidly have two kinds OF &C
cumulated earth stores. petroleum and

The FIy-Eattng Plant.

Good Words.
Que species of the Drosera has its
leaves rounded. while the other has
them elongated, but both alike have
them reddish in color and covered
with short hairs or filaments. At the
end of each of these hairs there Is an
enlarged gland, which secretes a tiny
drop of what appears to be harmless
dew. Harm e3s, however, the liquid
Is not, for to most Insects, especially
small flies, the Drosera Is q most in
sidiously baited trap. The liquid is
in reality q sweet. sticky substance,
and if the very smallest fly does bnt
touch 1t ever so lightly Ii sticks there
and dies. The me n ner In which the
plant afterwsrd actually digests the
bodies of the flies it entraps is inter-
esting in the extreme.
Within q short time of the capture
of any. 80 excessively sensitive are
the glands, all the fiIsments growing
around the one which has made the
capture commence to bend inward,
covering the luckless insect until it
is securely within the grasp of the
relentless plant, Each gland then
pours out upon the body a digestive
liquid, not altogether unlike the gas
trio juice OF animals, and in the
course of day or two the fly is com~
pletely digested, the nutritive parts
have been wholly absorbed by the
plant; and the filaments have ben t
back to their original position, ready
TO make another capture upon the
first opportunity.
IL, however, the substance caupht
by the Leaf Is Of an indigestibIe ma.
ture, such as o grain OF sand or q
piece of stick blown by the wind on
to the glands, the leaf does not. re.
main closed more than q few hours
The number of insects thus caught
must be very great. The plants
themselves are very abundant Id
most upland boys; each plant has
| five or six leaves, and as many az
thirteen dead flies have been founC
on q single leaf.
Curiously enough, Darwin, whose
researches into the subject were OF q
| most exhaustive and interesting
nature, found that the leaves on hrs
plants were killed when he gave
them q surfelt OF cheese and raw
meat. The excessively sensitive
nature of the glands almost surpass
como pti0n. Darwin found that tn.
absorption of only the one twenty
millinnth part Of a grain OF phos phar,
OF ammonia or tbereahOut was sutfi-
otent to cause the fiIament bearing
the gland TO bend toward the centel
Of the leaf.

The willy ciMaman.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IA clever

man unloading q Photographic ap-
paratus from wagon. AS cameras
do not usually form part Of the fur
nishiDgs of the houses of the Chinese
of this city, the detectives suspicious
were aroused. He followed up his
man, and In few days he had learn ed
the details of the plan the Chinese
have taken to avoid the registration
act. The act requires the Chinese to
have their pictures taken and to file
them with the Office of the Internal
revenue collector. The picture ispsst-
ed on the certificate Of registration,
and q Chinaman can be compelled to
go before the collector and be identI-
fled by his photograph II any question
of his legal right to remain In this
country is raised. The Chinaman
with his camera has been taking les
sons IN photography, ana In the art
OF using preparation that will cause
photograph to grow dim and faded
within q year, When the registrs-
ton act goes In force, next May, the
Chinese In Philadelphia will have
their countrymen photograph them,
and after applying this fading prep
aration TO the picture it will be filed
with Collector Brooks. Within year
the picture will be so dim that 1t will
be almost unrecognizable,a aud Collec.
tor Brooks will be unable to tell
whether the man before him Is the
original OF the photograph or recent
importation from China. 1t Is said
the scheme has been transmitted to
the Chin se in all the large cities of
the country, and that photography Is
being zealously studied by the Chi
nese.
