Another Lesson.

Allegan, Mich, Special, Feb. 2S.-Bert
Moore, a handsome young fellow OF
tM enty-eight years of age, was shot
dowr to-day in a saloon here without All
%instant's warning. A pistol ball pierced
his brain and lie never moved after fall
ing. Albert Reynolds, the. murderer,
stepred into the saloon just before noon
and called out: Burt, look here, l want
you" Moore turned around i'll time to
receive a ball square between the eyes.
Reynolds gave himself up. He was as
colin Il summers day. They were friends
at Great Falls, Mont. Reynolds had a
pre- tty wife. whom Moore greatly adj
mired. Moore finally fled with her and
came to Allegan. where they have been
living as man and wife. Reynolds traced
the guilty pair here, and a few days ago
hac them arrested on a charge of, adult
cry, but before the trial came off evil
dently thought of a more satisfactory way
to settle the score, and refused to appear
against the pair. He went to his wife
and told her she was safe from his anger,
but that he would punish Moore. He
showed not the slightest trace of excite
mcnt. but Immediately went about town
inqEiring for Moore. When he had 10

Burt Moore. who was killed today i'll
Allesan, Mich. and Albert Reynolds, who
committed TIE crime, We're we'll known
here, having resided i'll this city the past
two years. The former was a painter,
the latter is a contractor. 1t appears
that Moore and Reynolds wife had
known each other in Michigan and were
on unusually intimate terms, Of Which
Reynolds seems to have been entirely
ignorant. Moore boarded at Reynolds
house in the south part Of the town,
and was considered Il member OF the
family by the neighbors. About the first
of last December Mrs. Reynolds started
for Michigan to spend the winter at
home. Moore Went with her, and so
far as is known Reynolds offered no OBJ
lection to their travelling together. A
month after they had gone she wrote to
her husband that she did not intend re-
live with him again. AS a parting re-
quest she asked him to send her the re-
maindcr of her clothing and some trink-
cts she had left behind. AS soon as he
could arrange his affairs Reynolds went
to Allegan determined TO learn his wife's
reasons for so suddenly abandoning him.
A few days ago he wrote to friends here
that he found Moore and his wife were
living together, and that he had pre-

have trial soon. To-day's tragedy was a
great surprise to Reynolds friends i'll this
city. He bore a good reputation here.

ton Of opening up the settlement that Nc
Geoch made with his creditors in June,

was brought by the bank on the ground that
certain illegal preferences mad been given

A Marked Popularity Of the Marrow
Streets of Tangler.

A Marked Popularity Of the Narrow
Streets of Tangler.
Among the strangest peculiarities of
Tangier, and one that at once forces
itself upon the attention OF the new
conner, is the total absence OF any
kind of wheeled vehicle. In the entire
CITY, which is an example of all the
others in the empire, there isnot even
a donkey cart, for the streets are
much too narrow to admit OF their
use, and transportation OF passengers
and merchandise is affected upon the
backs OF donkeys, horses, mules, and
understanding to the weight and
the distance. 49,.
There are but few streets into which
a loaded camel could enter, and not
more than three in which he could
pass another loaded camel or horse.
Some of the smaller streets are 80
narrow that even the panniers of a.
donkey would scrape upon either side,
so that in the city itself the transpor.
tation devolves upon donkeys for the
side streets, and upon horses and
mules for the main thoroughfares.-

Heat and Life.

We often speak of our bodies as ma-
chimes or working upon principles
similar to those employed in mechan-
les. The idea that the food we eat re-
sembles in it's action the fuel supplied
to d furnace is familiar, and yet one
can hardly avoid q little start of r
prise upon finding the laws OF heat
engines soberly applied to explain the
growth of plant and ANIMAL life.
This has recently been done by Mr..
J. Parker before the philosophical
Society in London. He points out,
for instance, that the increase of
available energy resulting from the
building up Of a plant out of inor-
ganic materials can only be explained,
in accordance with thermo-dynamic
laws, by differences of temperature
during the growth Of the plant, and
his calculations show that the differ
ence between day and night is quite
sufficient to account for the diferen-
ces OF temperature required.
Similar principles apply to the
growth of animals. Nature gives
nothing for nothing, and demands an
exact equivalent for every expendi-
ture OF her energies, whether she is aid
ing man to drive an engine, causing
an oak to grow, or building up the
muscles of an athlete or the brain of
a philosopher. And as far as her
work upon our planet is concerned:

these casea ia the s11n-
