A Nehraska Edltor nraus the Lime.

Volume l. No. 6 of The Moslem World
is upon our table hammering for an
exchange. It is published in New York
by Colonel Mohammed Alexander Rus
sell Webb, and has an advertising pat
ronage that insures it's financial sue
cess. Its purpose is ito spread the light
of Islam in America The light Of
Islam is what we want, but in spread
ing it don't put it on too thick. We
cannot get to believing in Mohammed
all of sudden. 1t takes time to SUBJ
due and overcome the prejudices that
were inculcated in earlier years. It
isn't so hard to believe in the divine
mission of the prophet or to observe the
seasons of prayer or give aims when
you have them about you, or to keep
the fast of Ramadan, but when it comes
to the pilgrimage to Mecca that do set
tie it. If it takes trip to the orient
as condition for securing eternal life
and the possession of a harem in Hal

doctrines of the Christian Bible in

Liuuefed Gases.


All the liquefied gases except oxygen
and hydrogen have been frozen by self
evaporation in vacuum. By evapo-
rating liquid air in vessel surrounded
by liquid oxygen, Professor Dewar sue
ceeded in reducing the air to clear,
transparent solid. It has not been de-
termined whether the oxygen of the
mixture is really frozen or merely en-
tangled among the particles of solid
nitrogen in some such way as rose
water in cold cream, or water in the
solid gelatin of calves foot jelly. Al
though pure oxygen has never been
frozen, it is possible that when mixed
with nitrogen its freezing point is raised
50 that the two solidify together. Sci

RoeuEs DREAD THE CAMERA.
Photographs Are the Greatest Police Aid
In CAPTURING Criminals.

Photographs Are the Greatest Police Aid
In Capturing Criminals.
The greatest aid that the thief taker
of today has in his possession is the
photograph. The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest Of
Frank and Jesse James was due to the
fact that no pictures of them had ever
been taken. They were thus enabled to
walk the streets Of Kansas City and st.
Louis, to attend theaters, play faro in
crowded banks, loll around the rotunda
of the Planters hotel and attend the
race meetings of the west.
The vanity of the wild western train
robbers, bank holdups and horse thieves
has, In scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high class crook never has picture
taken unless it is taken by force and
by police officers. A glance at the
rogues' gallery on the walls of the chief
of detectives Office will show a hun
dred instances of where men have
fought desperately against the process.
All this amounts to nothing. No
man can distort his face so as not to
leave recognizable feature. He can
not change the shape of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline of
his head. The ear is particularly a
valuable feature in Identification. No
two men in the world have ears exact
ly alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression Of the ear
has an individuality of its own. One
pair of ears will stand out from the
Z head like wings; another pair will lay
close to the skull as if pinned there.
1t will be noticed that the subject is al
ways posed SO as to bring in the ears.
Police prefer view of the face and
head, the larger the better, to full
length view. Where there are pecul-
iarities of carriage or eccentricities OF
form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelike arms or peculiar
SLOUGH, additional pictures are taken,
but as rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.
A criminal once in the tolls and pho
tographed for police purposes may
count his career practically ended.
Every police and detective agency in
the country and every penitentiary war
den or prison governor are supplied with
a copy of it. He is taken in on sus-
picion on the strength of his features
made familiar His alias is swept
away by comparison with it and the
details that accompany it. The search
for a fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. 1t is a very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission of a
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of Officer Doran, did-commit
a burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for few years in prison.
Many man has eluded pursuit when
capture meant death by this ruse, but
the photograph has reduced the success
Of this plan to the minimum. All mem.
bers of the detective force are required
to study the faces of the criminals sent
in by circular.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

The Reward Of . bridge Builder.

It has frequently been observed that
public benefactors often have no other
reward than the consciousness of their
good deeds. The inhabitants of the lit
tie town of Loschwitz, near Dresden,
are determined that no reproach shall
be leveled against them in matter OF
this kind. Their burgomaster is a
worthy man who has ruled over them
with signal ability, and who, in partic-
ular, has succeeded, during his tenure
of Office, in constructing bridge over
the Elbe at a place where several pre-
vious attempts to do SO had failed.
The communal council have assem-
bled in solemn deliberation to consider
what reward to offer to their distin-
guished fellow citizen, and the upshot is
that he has been officially informed
that, in recognition of his services, he
will be permitted to cross the bridge as
often as he likes without paying the
halfpenny toll. London Daily News.

The Little Rock Gazette has got every

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward a
new pronunciation of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as it is spelled.
It was understood that the legislature of
the state some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with a
poem entitled "My Happy Little Home
In Arkansas IN which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
SLOW" and then with "below." This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan-
sow, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should
settle this matter once for all. It is be-
coming puzzling and annoying. Per-
haps Mr.. Opie Read, the Arkansaw
Traveller, could put an end to the dis

AN INSANE MANS TERROR.
Only a Conductors Goodness Prevented .
Panic In Street Car.

Only Conductors Goodness Prevented .
Panic In q Street Car.
A big, broad shouldered, handsome
man boarded Russell avenue car at
Wisconsin street and took a seat near
the front door. He was perhaps 40 or
45 years of age, well dressed, and of
imposing appearance, but there were a
wild, startled look about his face and
an uneasiness in his manner indicating
that something was wrong. The car
had gone only short distance when he
began to pull nervously away from the
corner, casting frightened glances over
his shoulder as though he saw some
thing beside him.
Suddenly he jumped up and rushed
to the door of the car, throwing his arms
wildly, as though beating off an assail-
ant, and falling over the other passen-
gers in his haste to get out.
"Shoot himl Shoot himl'' he shout
ed to the conductor.
"Shoot him quick, or I'll have to pull
his head off can't stand this any
longer. He's after me! Shoot him, !
say, or I'll pull his head Off
The quick witted conductor, taking
in the situation at a glance, pulled
him out on the back platform and slam
med the door behind him. There, "
he said, ''he can't get you now. I'll
keep him in the car.
But the assurance did not satisfy the
unfortunate man. He covered behind
the conductor and peered over his Shout
der to watch his imaginary pursuer
There he comes! Throw him out!''
he shouted again, clinging to the con-
ductor in abject terror.
"You stay here, and I'll throw him
out the front door, said the conductor,
to pacify him.
Will you throw him over the dash
board2"
Eyes.
And will the mules trample on
him?''
yes
"And will the car run over himl"
Yes"
"That's right-that will serve him
right-throw him over the dashboard,
and he laughed in great glee over the
project of getting rid of his adversary.
The conductor went into the car and
pretended to take somebody out of the
far corner and push him out of the
front door. The mailman on the rear
platform shouted his appreciation and
Jumped up and down with joy. There
he goes" he screamed, push him
over-don't let him get away-push
him over shove him under the cart
serves him right-he can't get me
nowl"
The ladies in the car were thoroughly
frightened, and but for the GOODNESS of
the conductor there might have been a
stampede.
He assured them that he would keep
the man outside and get rid of him az
soon as possible, which quieted them.
The lunatic made no further demon
stration beyond nervously watching the
inside of the car as though he feared
his foe would appear again, and when
the car reached Greenfield avenue he
said in perfectly natural way: Here
is where I live. I'll get off here. he
proved to be south side gentleman
whose family is caring for him. Hehad
made his escape some hours before, and
the members of his family were anxi-
ously looking for him. -Milwaukee

Dog and Cat.

The effect of a dog on cats tail is
well worth study. When a cat encoun-
tiers strange dog, the tail Immediately
assumes an upright position, the back
becomes highly arched, and the fur
stands out straight all over the body.
This sudden change dismays the dog,
who brings himself to a halt, and the
two regard each other steadfastly.
But if the dog should turn his gaze
away for a fraction of a second there is
q swish and a bound, and the cat has
disappeared over fence or up Q tree.
Stimulated by the presence OF q dog,
cats have been known to climb to such
heights that they were unable to de-
scend the way they went up.-Ex'

Oak Wood.

The oak is historic wood. AS early
as the eleventh century it became the
favorite wood of civilized Europe, and
specimens of carving and interior finish
have come down to us from that early
day, their pristine beauty enhanced by
the subduing finger of time. The early
colonists brought with them to the
shores of America their love for this
wood, and here, too, the oak acquired
historical interests.
