A COMMEMORATE PROJECT
WHEREIN kRT, EDUCATION, AND
AMUSEMENT ARE HARM0Ni0USLY
BLENDED.

1t is not always that distributions of
books and pictures can be unreservedly
commended.
! 1t Is often found that book is selected
for newspaper distribution since it hap
pens to be cheap, because imperfect. or
uuSalahle, OF of doubtful literary quail
ity.
And the picture may be weak, dim in
outline, or have waShed-out appear
ance, owing to the fact that it is from a
plate worn out and unfit for use.
A damaged or badly printed book and
all Indifferent picture are worse than
nothing, since they are constant eye
sore and permanent offenSe against
good taste.
Such possessions are not worth having
even DIS gift.
1t is wise precaution, therefore. to
carefully inspect these so-calied cheap
offerings to ascertain if they are not too
cheap to be worth shelf room.
In cOntradiStinction to such as these

been seen.
These views are 800 in number, and
are issued i'll parts of sixteen each, one
every week.
The photographs have been secured
at great expense, since to obtain them
it was necessary to visit remote points
i'll various quarters of the earth.
These photographs once in possession,
it became necessary to prepare a
accompany each view.
The series, therefore. becomes valua-
bic, both i'll pictorial and historical
sense, and time devoted to its study
could hardly be more proftab!y or
pleasantly employed.
TIE GLOBE therefore highly COM
mends "Sights and Scenes of the
World'' to all OF its readers, for the
series is equally adapted to old and
young.
1t also invites an inspection of the
views at its distributing department.
This invitation need not apply to old
readers of the paper, since they we'll
know that anything offered by The
GLOBE is we'll worth the time, trouble
| and expense necessary to obtain it,
Besides this, there is hardly North
western home In which the views are
| not welcomed each week.
But new readers who may want to see
| what they are going to get are asked to
call and look over any one or all of the
numbers already on view either one Of

For any one of the numbers three

SIOUX CITY, To-, Feb. lit has lust
come to the surface that land swindle
of large proportions was worked on
Eastern investors during the palmy days
of Sioux City's boom. and up to the
present time the victims have kept still
about it. The swindlers bought a large
farm just east of the city, where land IS
not very expensive, and plated it into
small lots, which were decided to various
persons In the DEAL Mortgages were
given for payment in sums nearly
as large as the alleged sale
price or the lots, and the
manager, with these evidences
of sale, went eastward i'll search of in
vestors. He borrowed money. giving
his notes and putting up the mortgages
as security. In this way he raised from
S2O0 to S400 on each lot, and secured
thousands of dollars from eager CAP.
Italists who were after big interest.
Holders of some of thes notes and mort
cages recently wrote to leading law
firm to have them commence foreclosure
proceedings against the mortgages, and
an investigation revealed the fact that
the lots are not worth what it would
cost to secure them by foreclosure.
The parties then ordered the LAWYERS

SOLVING A MYSTERY.

Japanese Superstition.

Science Endeavoring To Fathom
Japanese Superstition.
1t has long been regarded as an mex
plicable mystery that luminous OBJ
ject. known as "shlkshu-hi'-Ii
meaning unknown fire" - is occa-
sionally seen at night, especially in
cloudy weather, on the sea in Tsukushi
bay. The superstitious ascribe this un-
usual phenomenon to the spirits of
those lost at sea. But, according to the
yernacular press, the mystery is to be
solved ere long.
Prof. Nakayama Hisatomo, of the
KumanotO Higher Middle school, who is
now investigating the thing. is of the
opinion that phosphorus may possible
be the cause OF this luminosity. which
may be emitted from animaclcul8 in the
water. He has secured some water
from the place where the supposed fire
makes It's appearance, and examined it
with microscope, with the result that
he found humber Of animacul8 in it.
1t needs, however, more complete eX-
animation before finally coming to a de-
termination on the subject, and with this
end i'll view he is stated to be now pur-
suing his researches.
1t may be added that Mr.. Kimotsuki,
of the navy, who made an investigation
of sea currents some time ago, reported
that the KuroshiwO, or the black cur
rent, which flows from the neighbor-
hood of the Philippine archipelago to
the southern coast of Japan, is the
Warmest ocean stream III the world, and
consequently, it may contain minuteani-
NAL life giving off phosphorescence.

INSANE IN HIS PULPIT,
One Priest Attacks Another on
the Altar

BROOKLYN. n. Y, Feb. 11.-There
was an exciting time today at st. Peters
Roman Catholic church in this city, and
the spectacle OF one priest assaulting
another OH the altar caused a panic
among the large congregation which
attended the mass service. The pastor
OF st. Peters is Rev. Father William J.
Hill, a man of middle age. while Father
Patrick V. Mcdonald. young man of
about thirty years, is his assistant. The
latter was the celebrant of the mass,
while Father Hill was on the altar as
deacon. When Father Hill commenced
the reading of notices for the day, Father
Mcdonald, who was kneeling, suddenly
arose and, turning to Father Hill, said !:
"You can't speak here" Father Hill
was taken by surprise, and whispered
to his assistant to keep quiet But the
latter, who weighs 200 pounds. rushed
at Father Hill ana knocked him down
the altar steps. Father Mcdonald
then picked up the chalice, and Father
Hill attempted to take it from him.
The former dealt him blow under the
left ear, which knocked him down.
The startled congregation was by this
time wild with excitement. and several
men in the front pews jumped over the
chancel rail and prevented Father MIC
Donald from committing further vio-
lence. Some of the congregation had
in the meantime run to tine Butler
street station for assistance. and
Father Mcdonald was taken to the
rectory opposite the church and con-
fined in his apartments. Word was
sent to Bishop Mcdonnell. who directed
Vicar General Mcnamara to make an
investigation. Meanwhile Father Nc
Donald had become so violent that it
was evident he was insane. Later he
was removed to st. Peters hospital,
where it was found necessary to detail
apoliceman to attend him. Father Hill
said that he was taken entirely by sur
prise, as Father Mcdonald had never
before manifested any signs of insanity,
and he could not account for the sudden
arrangement of his mind.
