The Nest of the Kingfisher.

Our American belted alcyon, or common
kingisher, is an expert hole borer. There
is scarcely clayey bank along the streams
of our middle and southern states but has
it's face cut by the door OF one Of these
gloomy looking houses.
The hole is usually quite round, and gees
directly into the bank, with a slight up
ward slant to a distance of from two to
four feet, where it turns nearly at right
angles to one side or the other, ending in a
large, jug shaped pocket, where the eggs
are laid. The kingfsher is my most cheer
full companion when am out for days
or weeks angling. 1t is an ever fresh
delight to watch him swooping down into
the clear brook water with melodious
plunge, and coming forth sparkling like a
fake from blue sea wave or a fragment
Of turquoise. He rarely fails to catch the
minnow he strikes at, but his appetite is
unremitting and Unsuitable. He eats from
morning till night.-Maurice Thompson in

AN ICE BRIDGE LIQUOR SALOON.
1t Was Proved by the Treaty of Client That
1t Was on the Canadian Side.

1t Was Proved by the Treaty of Client That
1t Was on the Canadian Side.
A case that came up before United States
Commissioner John E. Pound at Niagara Falls
the other day involved the sale of whisky on
the ice bridge midway between the United
States and Canada. The two offenders under
arrest were August Fox and George Kinsley,
and C. E. Crowley appeared for them.
It has been the prevailing supposition among
fleeing criminals. government officials and the
police on both sides that the center of
Niagara river is the boundary line between the
two nations, but the investigation Of tho case
by Attorney Cromley showed that such Il not
fact.
By the treaty Of Client, made in 1915, the
deep-water channel of the river was made the
dividing line between the two countries. In
connection with the treaty of 184S careful
the falls was found to be not in the center of
the river. This division brought Goat Island
and the neighboring smaller islands under
United States rule, but below the falls the
deep-water channel ran not third of the
width OF the river from the American shore.
These facts were submitted as testimony to-
day and established the fact that the ice bridge
offenders were on Canadian territory when in
the center Of the river. Thereupon the sup
posed United States criminals were discharged
by Commissioner Pound. This also disposes Of
the idea that the center of the Suspension
bridge is the boundary line, and escaping GRIM
inals from Canada will have to cover two-thirds
Of the length Of the bridge to be out Of the
clutch Of Canadian officers. while American
lawbreakers have only to cover one-third Of
the distance on the bridge to be safe.

In Mrs. F. II. Howa.d's talk before '.The
Mothers Meeting at Wimodaughsis Wedues-
Gay afternoon she gave an interesting account
OF the manas emsnt and methods OF the woman's
reformatory prison at Sherborn. Mass. to-
gether with many interesting anecdotes Of thu
inmates and their efforts toward reform. She
spoke o: many instances OF their personal good
will toward the matrCEs. and gave instances OF
self-deyoto1 20 good order and good will. She
spoke also OF the greater difficulties in the way
OF reform OF women than Of men. an idea
which brought ont an animated discussion by
the members present after she had finished
speaking.
One point she particularly impressed on her
hearers. which WIS TO think carefully and intel
hgently on he subject and have definite ideas
and thus help 20 form public opinion in
favor OF refOrmatOries. She said that the
national prison commission, well as those
In the several states that had them. had found
that legislative opinion far behind the
needs OF the community and the general legis-
lstive apathy could only be awakened by a live
public sentiment formed Of the best and most
careful thought OF men and women.
The address was listened To with interest as
manifested in the remarks made BY DR..
Caroline L. Winslow. Mrs. Keller. Mrs. Dicker-
son and others, and when the meeting ad-
journ-d little groups still remained 10 talk
earnestly on the subject SO earnestly presented.

FRAUDS IN STATE LANDS.

Serious Charges Against Ofiicials in Texas
and Nebraska.
An immense sensation has been caused in
dealings in Texas lands, as shown by the legis-
lative investigation committee. 1t was said
yesterday that the legislature would probably
impeach Commissioner McGaughey. The
committee is trying to prevent the publication
Of the evidence taken in the case. This evidence
is said to implicate many men high in the legal
and political field.
McGaushey says everything he did was adj
vised by Gov. Hogg and the attorney general.
The executive denies any connection with the
matter. Deep interest is felt in the action Of
the Legislature
AN IMPEACHMENT COMMITTEE IN NEBRASKA.
There was turmoil and excitement in the Ne
braska house yesterday when the regular order,
Twins bill looking to the impeachment Of the
state officers comprising the board of public
lands and buildings, was called I'D. A substi-
tute WAS offered with substantially the same
provisions, providing for the appointment Of a
committee of three to prepare articles Of I'M
parchment, and, though fought bitterly by the
republicans, or majority Of them, it passed
by vote OF Sc to AZ.
The committee was appointed and what at
first was considered in the light of a populist
bluff now has all the elements Of seriousness,
second resolution calls for the selection Of
three attorneys to assist in preparing the arti-
Giles of impeachment and bringing the action
The officers affected by the resolution are
Secretary Of State Allen, Attorney General Has
ttngs and Commissioner Humphrey. and the
action is the result Of charges made Of negli-
gence and malfeasance in Office in the awarding
OF penitentiary contracts.

FIN DE Steele HYPNorIssr,

Wisest of Learned Pigs Hollow.

st. Petersburg Has a Dog That Eeats the
Wisest of Learned Pigs Hollow.
All st. Petersburg has gone wild over some
thing new, says the New York Recorder. and
that is nothing else than a dog which goes off
into hypnotic frances.
This remarkable animal belongs to NJ. Durov
who wss awarded a gold medal by the Paris
Academy Of Sciences for his original investiga-
tions and discoveries in the science Of hypno-
tism as applied to animals and its effects upon
them.
Several tests have been made of the animal
in the presence Of no less a person than DR..
Afanssiev Of the war department.
One of the tests consisted in placing several
articles, as pencil, cigar case, handkerchief,
cuff button, &C.. on the floor. Then the dog
having been thrown into hypnotic trance by
him, u. Durov requested enc Of the audience.
which consisted also of several other physician.
of renown and soma newspaper men, to think
about something and what the dog was to do
with it, then to write it out on piece Of paper
and show it to the rest Of the audience, except
ing, OF course. himself.
This was done, and, the dog having been
brought in, what was the establishment of the
whole assemblage to see the animal go up to the
cigar case, pick it up and bring it to the one
who had been indicated in the wish.
Another test consisted in laying several
cubes with figures ON them in a certain order
in a closed box. At the same time several
pieces Of paper were put upon the floor bear
ing like numbers on each. The dog was then
called in and required to place the pieces Of
paper in the same order as the cubes were laid
in the closed and sealed boz. This he did, to
the establishment of all assembled.
The strangeness OF the whole procedure is
increased when it is remembered that NJ.
Durov knows no more about what is being
done or wished than does the dog, and is. there
fore. entirely unable to in any way prompt
him.
