TWO BODIES IN A BARREL.
Evidence of Crime Found Floating in the
River at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 1.-THE head
less and limbless trunks of two human
male bodies were found in barrel float
ing in the Blue River late last night.
The bodies were in good state of pres
ervation and there is nothing to indi-
cate that they came from the dissect
ing table. The coroner is making
an investigation on the theory of
double murder. Various wounds upon
the trunks indicate that the heads and
limbs were chopped off with blunt axe

The family of husband, wife and
seven children live at 1929 Chou

the women and children had
retired, Daily reached home from a

twice from ear to ear, and also crushed
her skull with an axe. He then
left the house, cutting his own

fatally. He was met by an officer who
arrested him and then investigated,
finding the woman dead with a 10

A New Ruling by Secretary Carlisle

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 14.-Supt.
Herman Stumpf, with the appreciation
of Secretary Carlisle, has made an i'm
portant ruling, overturning former
practices, as to the admission of idiot
immigrants. when accompanied by
their parents, into the United States.
He holds that it was the intention
of the act to make each class of de-
barred immigrants separate and dis
tinct. 1t debars an idiot absolutely, and
the fact that the idiot might have pri-
vate fortune, or relatives amply able to
provide for his wants, cannot be taken
into consideration any more than it
might be taken into consideration in an
application to take a person suffering
from q loathsome or dangerous con-
taoiOuS disease

THE IRON TRADE IS WEAK.
Opinions on the Outlook Expressed by the
Iron Trade Review
CLEVELAND, O., May 1.-THE Iron
Trade Review this week SAYS.

CLEVELAND, O., May 1.-THE Iron
Trade Review this week says:
A further weakening in prices OF Bessemer
pig and steel billets is reported from
Pittsburg. From primary markets comes
the information that raw iron contin-
ues weak in spite of good points in
the statistical outlook. Ore sales
are reported at compromise figure, the
largest steel producer and ore men meeting
eabh other half way. Buyers have regarded
the low prices of the past week as tempting
enough to cover their needs for some time
ahead, and heavy purchases OF Besselaer pig
and billets are reported in PittSburg, much
of it for Cleveland delivery through the
year. Sellers are very careful about eN-
tending credit, and there is a heSitancy
about new construction planned for this
spring that has had its effect uponth the struct-
ural market. As we have remarked before
the iron trade is in general we'll fortified
against shrinkage in values; there is no long
er any room for shrinkage.

Practice Ship.
New YORK, May 13.-The gunboat
Bancroft has been ordered to proceed
to the Brooklyn navy yard, where she
will be fitted out for foreign service.
The Bancroft was designed and built for
service as practice ship for the Annap-
oils Naval Academy, but since her com
pletion naval officers have arrived at
the opinion that she is too small and
cramped in quarters for the service of a
practice vessel. They say, however,
that the Bancroft will make an admir-
able gunboat for service in the rivers OF
China and other Eastern countries.

Extinct Monsters.

Oh. had lived in the good old days.
When the Ichthyosaurus ramped around
When the ElasmoSaur swan the bays
And the Sivatherium paved the ground;
Woul1 have spent my specious time
At weaving golden thoughts in rhyme?
When the Tinoceras snooped about
And the Pterodactyl tapped its wings
When the Brontops with tho warty snout
Moseyed around for herbs and things;
Would have bothered myself o'ermuch
About divine aff1 stus and such?
The Dinotherium fiourished then
The Pterygotus lashed the seas;
The Rhamphorynchus prospered when
The Scaphognathus perched In trees;
And every creature, wild or tame,
Rejoiced in some rocco name.
Pause and wonder; who could write
A triolet or roundelay,
While a M.gatherium yavpsd all night
And Hesperornis yawped all day;
While, now and again, the bray sonorou3
OF Glyptodon Asper swelled the chorus?
II I'd been almost anything
But poet, might have got along;
Those extinct Monsters of hoof and wing
We're not conducive to lyric song;
So nature reserved this tender bard
For the kindlier Age of Pork and Lard.

False AuroraE.
Professor w. NJ. stine in the Popular sciel

Professor W. NJ. Stine in the Popular Science
Newsl
Not long since an article appeared in one
of the scientific periodicals entitled
"Pseud aurora Boreslis," In which the
writer described an appearance closely re-
sembling an aurora, caused apparently by
an arc lamp placed In an elevated position.
1t seems singular that beyond few scat
tered hints, such q common cscurrenoe
has received so little attention. For seve-
raj years past 1 have been noting the sp-
pssrsnces produced by arc lamps under
certain atmospheric conditions, and have
instituted series Of experiments for the
explanation of their production. One
lamp In particular has been closely
and the surrounding atmospheric condi-
tions throws considerable light on the
phenomena observed in this connection.
The town in which these observations
have been made Is lighted by twelve thou
sand csndle-power Thomson-Houston arc
lamps. As the town is situated In q mar
row valley. by a small river, and shut In
more or lees by high hills on all sides, fire.
quent light fogs are noticeable near mid
night. The smoke, too, from stacks and
locomotives often makes q distinct haze;
these two conditions render this a place
unusually favorable for the formation of
false surozas. In the northern part of the
town a lamp had been placed on q steep
hill which rises TO a considerable height
above the surrounding portions. About
ten O'Clock at night, on looking toward the
north, this lamp is often seen surrounded
by q slight haze. and projected On this Ia
an arch of light closely resembling the
simplest form of q northern light. Occs-
sionslly this extends upward for q consid-
cradle distance, with faint rays or stream
ers protruding. 1 have several times wit
messed such q reproduction of the aurorsl
display as to require careful observation to
discriminate 1t from the real.
From time TO time have taken pains TO
note with great care phenomena which
seem to throw some light on this subject.
One such is what may be called negative
aurora. This is nothing less than rsy-like
shadows, apparently projected high In the
heavens, due, of course, TO the intensely
| concentrated light of the electric arc.
