Some Interesting Tests.

Dr. J. A. Gilbert. of the Yale Psy-
Geological Laboratory, has completed
very interesting tests regarding the
mental and physical developments Of
the pupils of the New Haven public
schools. Many of the tests are entire
ly new and the results obtained in
tcrcSting. The tests We're made on
200 boys and girls. varying from six
to seventeen years old.
He has made series of charts,
which show that boys are more sen
Sitivc to weight discrimination. that
girls can tell the difference in color
shades better than boys. and that boys
think quicker than girls. Altogether
the charts show that boys are more
susceptible to suggestion than girls.
The charts show also that both boys
and girls between the ages of twelve
and fourteen years are not so bright,
quick or strong in proportion. nor do
they develop as fast as they do be-
fore and after those years. The oh
icct of the test is to enable teachers
to better understand the mental re-
uuircmcnts of the pupils.

1t looks as if the days of iron were
nearly over. There is il shrnkagc IF
production as against steel every year
Steel is as cheap. and sometimes cheap
or than iron. while its durability Is
generally showing itself as infinitely
superior. Scarcely Il ship is now built
of iron plates. A striking instance of
the superiority of steel was lately
shown. An Australian liner built on
the Tyne from local steel plates was
run on the reefs in Il fog at Honolulu.
For eighteen days she was rocked on
the Jagged rocks until Il tidal wave
lifted her off. All along the bottom
the plates on both sides were bent in
wards. the keel bar being broken. The
plates would orly bend. however. not
break: not a single rivct had sprung
nor lEad ii drop of water penetrated
the bottom. The vessel was brought
by her own engines. just as she was,
10000 miles to the Tyne. There eX-
prrts examined her. and made much
favorable comment on the ductilc and
durable properties of steel as com
pared with iron. Iron would infallibly
have given way. while steel stood the
great strain intact.-London Hardware

place before Judge Hoagland In his
office Saturday. The object of the
writ was to prevent the extradition of
the prisoner to Maryland. His law
yers, Roy P. Tul!er and H. D. Alvord

contest the extradition, and the papers
aud argument were managed by Mr..

The Sheriff OF Hartford Co., Md,

Attorney PRESCOTT, the Prosecuting At.
torney of that county, who assisted
Prosecutor W. A. Logue In an opposi..
tion to granting the writ.
Judge Hoagland listened to the pre-
sentation of the petition, and Mr..
Logue, taking up the document, point.
ed out Its fatal defects, and cited
authorities against its being granted.
His argument was q most convinc.
Ing one, and MIR. Prescott added
strong appeal to Judge Hoagland for
denial of the writ on the broad
grounds of State, comfy and the laws
OF justice.
The legal battle was a beautiful one
and was. well maintaine on both sidee,
but Lawyer Tuller's argument, which
closed the hearing, showed that his
side of the case was full Of fatal defects.
Judge Hoagland refused to grant
the writ and the slick forger was sur.
rendered by Sheriff Shinn to Sheriff
Hughes who took him away on the
noon train.

STRANGE DIsApPEARANCE.
John Ranks Leaves His Home.
and is Not Heard From.


John Banks, farmer, living about
five miles from Cedarville, and about
one mile from the road leading from
Millville to Newport, left his home ON
the Fourth of July and has not been.
heard from since.
On the morning of the Fourth, Mrs.
Banks took one b yse and carriage
aud drove to Millville to spend the.
DAY, MIR. Banks saying he guessed he
would not go along, but would stay
home and keep house.
When Mrs. Banks re- urned to her
home at night, Mr. Banks was not
there; he had taken another horse and
an open wagon and gone away, and
since then no trace nor tidings of him.
have been heard.
His wife knows of no reason for hiss
going away.
He has two brothers living In this
city, Captain William Banks and CARL
Banks. and they know no cause for his,
leaving home in such manner; Captain
William Jerreil is Mrs. Banks, brother,
but he has not heard from his sister,
and knows nothing further than that
Mr.. Banks left home ON the Fourth
and has not been heard from.
Mr.. Banks purchased his farm some
36.years ago. and has always resided
there since; he was highly respected
citizen, and was about 70 years old
he was sober, industrious and eco
nomical farmer.
The only solution of his going away
Is that he has acting quseriy for three
or four years, and may have driven
of under q mental halluncination; but
II these were the case it seems that
there should be some circumstances
connected with bis leaving horse and
wagon that would lead up to his
whereabouts.

The Bride Was Like q Ff1ghten-
ed FaWn. and Fled.

ed Fawn. and Fled.
John Kaufman, the genial and oblig.
Ing porter at the Hotel Cumberland,
was to have been married Tuesday
morning in the st. Marv's Catholic
church, to Mics Maggie O'Donnell, an
employee at the same hotel.
But John was not married Tuesday
neither will ne marry Miss O'Donnell;
he does not desire to marry Miss
O'DonnelL Their courtship was a
pleasant little romance which has
ended, leaving them both free to try
1t again.
There are reasons for this sudden
ending OF the little affair, which are
satisfactory to the principles.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Kaufman lost his first wife one year
ago this month, and he has q little
child which she left behind her, born
at the time of its mothers death.
John courted Miss O'Donnell ardent.
ly, and Tuesday was to have been their
wedding day, but alas for lovers
quarrel.
Some Of the girls in the hotel told
Miss O'Donnell some tales about how
Johns first wife was treated; they told
them In fun, and most likely magnified
them. John was also a trifie jealous of
the poor girl, and on Sunday he
imagined he detected, some impro-
periety in the lady who was so
soon to become his wife, and that even.
ing they had some words. Miss O'Don-
nell went to her bed In tears, and
when she arose Monday morning
che dashed cold water over herface, to
obliterate the evidences of her grief,
arrayed herself in her travelling suit,
and took the early train to PhiIadel-
phia without telling John goodbye
John discovered her fight later In
the day, and, boarding the noon train,
he followed his intended wife to Pnila-
delphis. He found her at the residence
of her folks, Philadelphia, and a con-
versation something like this fol.
lowed:
John, What for did you do trick
like this7"
Miss O'Donnell, (meeklyJ II don't
know"
John, "Ain's you, not going to go
back to be married?. I've got the
house all furnished and the bed lis
ready; all you got to do is to go right
in. Will you go back with me?"
Miss O'Donnell, No, I dome want
t, go back"
John, whats the matter, don't you
like my child? You saw the child don't
you like it?'
Miss O'Donnell, II like the child we'll
enough, but won't marry you."
John, well don'r want to see you
any MORE"
Miss O'Donnell, II don't want to see
you any more neither"
John, What made you do this trick
anyway--why did you go off in such
manner?"
Miss O'Donnell, 81 don't know"
This last answer was all that John
could get from the lady after this, and
John left her, disgusted.
Mr.. Kaufman owns his own house
at No. 30 Nichols street, this city, which
he has nicely furnished.
