Using Smoke as a Screen.

Through experiments made by English
military authorities it has been found that
whenever the atmosphere is laden with
smoke or mist the power of an electric
light is greatly diminished by crossing the
beam of light by that of another at GER
tain angle. At the point of intersection
the Illuminated space is practically made a
screen. 1t is proposed to utilize this knowl-
edge, since the electric beam can thus be
made to serve as screen, back of which
tactical operations might be conducted in
secret,-Boston Transcript.

In the early days of New York, one
William Wallace, Scotchman, settled
in Staten Island, and amassed a large
fortune. He was bachelor. After
some correspondence with his widowed
sister in old Scotia, he invited her to so
out to him with her family, undertake
ing to pay their passage and keep and
educate her children. She answered,
and awaited to hear again; but no pass
age money came, no more letters of any
kind. Then she had inquiries made,
and found that he had died without
making a will. An uncle of the poet
scout" some three years since went to
Scotland to settle the family estate,
relying largely on the letters written
by Wallace to his sister.
Soon after his arrival little leather
trunk containing these precious docu-
ments was destroyed by fire, He was
thus unable to prove his claim to the
vast estates of his relative. This uncle
returned to America, and promptly dis
appeared, and no tidings Of him can be
obtained: so Captain Jack Crawford,
the next kin, has sailed for Scotland to
prosecute the inquiry. 1t is believed
that he has good evidence of his heir
snip. If he has he may come into prop
erty worth $20,0O0000.

A VERITABLE CREIGHTON.
This Wonderful Baby Reads German an'
Latin M Tvn Years Old

This Wonderful Baby Reads German and
Latin at Two Years Old.
The most wonderful case on record is
that of the little son of butcher and
wife named Poehler in BraunschWeig.
A few weeks ago the mother took the
baby, which is only q months old, to
Dr.. Berkhan for examination, telling
the doctor that the child could read
everything at sight. The first thing the
boy did to prove his mothers assertion
correct was to pick up the Doctors
books and read from them correctly, as
he turned page after page. The doctor
and several colleagues examined the
child and found that his development,
both physical and mental was normal,
aside from phenomenal amount of
memory impressions, which enabled
him to read German and Latin, print
and script and also numbers composed
of two figures. At the age of 10 months
the child manifested unusual interest
in all signboards and bill posters, the
show windows of book stores, etc, and
demanded an explanation for every
thing it saw in this line. 1t was the same
at home with the books and newspapers
If found about the house. in this way
the babe absorbed an enormous amount
of pictures of words, letters and figures.
One day, to the great astonishment of
his parents, the child pointed to the
name of lotto" in a newspaper which
he snatched from his fathers hand.
From that time on he read nearly
everything that came Under his eyes.
AS soon as he sees book or newspaper
in anyone's hands the boy grows rest
less and nervous until it is handed him.
When riding in street car he sends up
a disappointed howl if his eyes do not
discover the usual street car advertise
ments and placards.
This yearning for printed things is
physiologically without explanation,
case on record, except that of Dase, the
famous mathematician, who gave evil
dence of his phenomenal talent in early
years. But this was all he ever knew.
The question is asked by scientists who
have examined little Otto whether he
will develop in other directions as strik-
ingly as he has in this. Fortunately
the parents have no intentions OF exhib-
iting their wonderful offspring for
money, and the case Is watched by the
medical fraternity with unabated inter-
est.

can imagine my feelings when saw a
real Cossack coming galloping along
the roadway toward me.
All, my friend, you who read this, if
you have any heart, you will feel for a
man like me, who had gone through so
many dangers and trials only at this

end to everything. / will confess that

despair. But no, was not beaten even

tuniC, so that might get easily at the

determination, when all hope was gone,
