The monument which is to be erected
in New Orleans in memory of the late
Chief of Police Hennessey is nearing
completion at the works of the Hallowell
(Me.) Granite company. The monu-
ment has three bases. the lowest ~ feet
square. On the top base the name
"Hennessey" is chiseled in raised let
ters. The capital is two feet in height
with paneled sides. Surmounting the
capital is plain granite column thirteen
feet in height At the foot of the col
umn is the coat of arms of Louisiana.
and above that is a representation of the
dead chiefs badge. From the draped
top of the column are suspended a
-policeman's belt and club, like those
worn by the dead chief
A singular circumstance in connection
with this monument is that seven of the
nihe men employed in making it are
ltglians. Speaking of that, Joseph
Arch, who has charge of the work, said
THE Italians who are doing this work
are of different class altogether from
the New Orleans Italians who killed
Hennessey, and they are in perfect SYM

Honor to the pioneers in the vast field
Of sciencel Mr.. John Slime has published
at the Chiswick Press in pamphlet form
very interesting memoir Of Sir Francis
Ronalds. Twenty years before Wheat
stone and Cooke or Morse had patented
their improvements in the telegraph, in
deed while the first two were respective
ly lads Of IL and IA years Of age, Ro-
maids had sent messagesover eight miles
Of overhead wires Of his own construc-
ton and had laid and worked a service
able underground line Of telegraph Of
sufficient length to demonstrate the
practicability Of communication by tele-
graph between long distances.
Details of his overhead telegraph wires
were published by him in 1923. Ro-
maids residence at Hammersmith, where
these experiments were carried out, is
the house now and for long past occu-

who has caused tablet to be placed on
the wall bearing the inscription, "The

The attempt to stock the Green noun
tains with deer will doubtless prove .
complete failure. A number of years
ago some of the animals were brought
from New York and turned loose upon
the mountain slopes in the thinly inhab-
tied sections of the state. That they
have bred and increased it is quite natu-
raj to suppose, but the reason that they
are not now any more numerous than
they were five years ago can be attrib-
uted to the fact that in the winter they
cross Lake Champlain on the ice into
the Adirondack wilderness, never to re-
turn.-V Vermont Cor. Albany journal.

Sir Morell Mackenzio's death recalled

and antagonistic demonstrations in Ber-
lin during the illness of the late Kaiser
Frederick. | have seen the people in
Berlin throw mud at the carriage Of the
English doctor, who was popularity sup
posed to be numbering the German kaiser,
and he was subjected to insults without
number whenever he appeared in the
crowded streets of the German capital.
The bitterness of the omperor's physi-
clans was so keen that it transcribed all
bounds Of medical etiquette, and Sir
Morell's life Mt Charlottenburg mt one
time was only saved from continued and
unbearable insults by the protection of
the kaiser's English wife.
The Empress Frederick was a firm be-
lever in her countrymans skill, and she
prevailed in the end. After the mist Of
the medical battle had cleared away it
was found that the skill of Sir Morell
Mackenzie had been justified. and lau-

Calculating the distance Of a storm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval of
shorter or longer duration is usually obs
served between these two phenomena.
which is due to the fact that sound trav-
els only at the rate of 1 100 feet per sec
ond, while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, 1t
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately how many miles thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet, which
can be reduced TO miles.
For example: If 30 seconds elapse be
tween the flash of the lightning and the
crash Of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance of $4,000 feet, or about 81
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using a watch with a
minute diai.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
