mockery and sham in the home of Gov

1t would certainly seem so as we
read the ghastly details of the bid

record of ir state. Law has been de-
thruned, murder has punished murder, and
mob violence has been given the encourage

G. Burton, William Gay, and the latter's
son, John Gay. They confessed to the
murder of one Fred Dinninv, who lives
near Russell, Kansas. The body was
found in cornfielj ia do
composed and mutilated condition,
The people were infuriated. They
gathered from miles around. AT M dnight
the mob stormed the Jail, and took the three
men out through the streets along the Union
Pacific track, a short distance from the
town, where prairie stream is crossed by
the railroad and wagon road.
The mob placed the trembling wretches
near the edge of the bridge over the stream.
A rope was put around ths neck Of each
prisoner and tied to the stringers. No time
was given for prayers or p.eadings. At a
signal all three were pushed off the edge
and dropped about ten feet. To make sure
of carrying out theic purpose, the mob fired
two shots into each body. although death
came quickly by the rope. If law is to hold

THE SEAS INVASION.
Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fat marshes of PeveDsey have
gained half mile since the days of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
the walls of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened ON the Romney fats,
where the ancient castle Of Lympne has
receded q mile or more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground of sea bottom. But on the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon a time must have stood
well in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness to the ravages that have taken place
within a few centuries, a few ticks of
the clock as geologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down q
considerable part Of the castle, and sew
eral persons ere killed by the catas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds. Then a home and a strong
hold, now but a memento Of paSt joy
and glory.
Another marked example of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, ON the
Yorkshire coast. Only 90 years ago
there was pathway running around the
ancient church Of St Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock. Now this is so
broken away on the seaward side that
it is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined. .-Argosy.

Algol, ''the variable star Of the con-

among astronomers as the greatest mys-
terry Of the heavens It's light usually
remains constant and uniform for a
period Of from 4s to so hours It then
commences to gradually fade from view,
and in less than four hours diminishes
to an insignificant point Of light. After
remaining in a state Of semiobscuration
for a period of time. varying from is to
80 minutes, it again regains its former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe that
some large dead and dark world reVolves

disputed point, a mystery which will,
in all probability. never be satisfactorily
