eome q tho Tricks OF So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DR.. HysIop.
Dr.. Hyslop Of Columbia college, says
. writer IN the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several so called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, q man and woman who
gave exhibitions in New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them Of the genuineness Of
their manifestations, gave private SCI
ance for the benefit Of this Columbia
professor and some of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from a pack and then shufned in
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one of
them staying in the room and being in
the secret. and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind.
All went well until Dr. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things They had found that the words
used by one of the mind readers" in
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. It
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment of not more than six words sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public
Another ''mind reader exposed by
DR.. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
of persons, most of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fide
psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant
was woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, so far as could
be seen for long time, gave him abso-
lutely no sign of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as if
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to BIZ trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before.
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code of signals lay in the manner Of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes in the Morse
telegraph code.

THE LEMURS OF MADAGASCAR.
Strange Nocturnal Animals Strongly Re-
sembling the Monkey.


The most abundant of the forest ami
mails are undoubtedly the lemurs. OF
these creatures about thirty species
are known in Madagascar. Some of
them are found only in the western
part of the island: others are confined
to the east: some live in the forests;
one species the ring-tailed lemur) in
habits the bare rocky hills of the
southern interior; others find their
habitat among the bamboos of the
riversides; others. AGAIN, make their
home in the tall rushes of the marshes;
some roam over a wide extent of coun-
try; others are exclusively confined to
particular localities, but large num-
Der of them have their habitat in the
great eastern forest.
To describe the habits of these
creatures one by one would be impos-
sible, as no careful observations have
been made on the subject. Besides,
many of the lemurs are nocturnal, rem
dering it a difficult task to learn their
habits in their native hauntS. 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that all the
forest lemurs, like the monkey, which
they distinctly resem bic, lead an ar
ooreal life, skipping from tree to tree
with the most marvellous agility. Some
of them roam the forests singly, some
in pairs; others are gregarious, wan
dering about from place to place in
bands of from eight to dozen.
1t is an interesting sight to see
family of these agile. graceful creatures
flinging themselves one after another
from tree to tree in their forest jour
neyirgs. the father or grandfather of
the family leading the way, the baby
lemurs clinging tightly to the long,
thick hair of their mothers. Oc-
casionally they may be observed Will
ing away their time in mere play, evil
IDENTIFY brimful of frolicsome enjoy
ment. The lemurs vary considerably
in size. some species being as large as
a good sized monkey, others being no
bigger than a rat.
In some places the cry of the lemurs
NAV be heard almost continuously,
making the forest ring again. a pro-
longed melancholy wall IS character
istic of one or two of the more COM
mon kinds, giving the impression that
the creature Is suffering intense pain.
The cry of others Is mere grunt. fire.

Bull Side Firmness in Foreign

Another day of comparatively small re-

cember, which opened at 523z cents,
rose to % cents in about an hour, but
dropped back in the next hour TO 5215d525z
ceuts. May ranged about 5-l6 cents over
December. Gables at the opening came
hrmer, and New York reported some ac-
ceptances at yesterdays cable offers to
Antwerp. Foreigners Were reported as
buyers of futures there, aud some buying
orders from Liverpool were received here
also. The cars death influenced some
buying orders which sent December wheat
up TO 53 cents on its first Journey, but AS il
sold down cent. AS already mentioned, n
subsequent rise TO shade beyond % cents
was hscribed co a let up in the volume of
the receipts, a partial Confirmation of the
talk of the use OF wheat for feeding, suf

A VERDANT TYPEWRITER.
She Did Not Understand Sending Money by
Telegraph.

Many years ago when people did not
know so much as they do now, an old
lady from the country. who, Devil
dered by the marvellous inventions OF
steam and electricity, had ceased to be-
iieve that anything was impo ssible,
conceived the idea that she could make
quick trip to town by telegraph
Inauiring as to the feasibility of the
plan, a waggish station telegraph
operator took her into a dark room,
placed the handles of a galvanic bat
terry in her hands and turned on the
current. Before itreached its full
strength the old lady, firmly believing
she was making her journey, but una
bic to endure the pain longer, asked to
be taken back-and the accommodate
ing operator brought her back.
The foregoing was a current" joke
thirty years ago, and our fathers
laughed at it many time. In those
days, as now, all such stories were told
at the expense of the innocent rustic,
city people being far too smart to be
made the butts of such tales. But
even at this late day some of the smart
country cousins of half century ago
in their knowledge of modern scien-
tific appliances, as the following true
story will show:
A certain large business concern in
st. Louis has in its employ a young
lady, clever with the typewriter, anl
of average intelligence. One day one
of the firm had occasion to send one
hundred dollars by telegraph to one of
his travelling representatives. The
typewriter was going to dinner and il
was but little out of her way to call al
the Western Union telegraph office.
Giving her the address he gave hel
ninety dollars in bills and ten dol
lars in silver, and asked her to have it
sent by telegraph.
Looking at the silver doubtfully, the
young lady said, hesitatingly: THE
bills are all right, but they can't send
this silver by telegraph, can they?"
Her employer did not fully under.
stand what idea she had in her head,
but told her it was all right and il
would go. Still unconvinced. she re-
turned to the argument with: But
how can they send these heavy coins
over the wires?"
Tie employer laughed, explained the
modus operandi of sending money b.
telegraph. and the maiden departed ca
her mission. She had lived all her ii.

TRIBUTE TO ROBBERS.
Curious Bit of History showing the Begin
ming of Our Navy.

Collectors of old coins and people
who are over three-score years old may
remember the old United States one
cent piece bearing the motto: Millions
for Defense; Not Penny for Tribute"
which was extensively circulated early
in the present century. One of the
principal incidents that led to tina
adoption of this legend-which seems
singularly out OF place on an AN erican
coin, especially just after the United
States had achieved its indepondepce
of Great Britain-occurred one hundred
and nine years ago, when the
United States merchandising Dauphin,
Of Philadelphia. was seized near
the straits of Gibraltar by warship Of
Algiers. and her crew and passengers
were thrown into Mussulman bondage
to awnit an exorbitant ransom. About
the same time the American Trading
vessels Maria, of Boston, and Minerva,
OF New York. also were seized in the
Mediterranean, and their people met
similar fate, making a total of III
American citizens in danger OF being
sold into the slave marts Of the east
At that time the United States was
without single ship of war or naval
officers or navy yards. The cause o..
this unprotected condition of the coun-
try was the strong opposition 70 per
manent navy as well as TO a standing
army. and congress resorted 10
the plan of paying an annual
tribute TO the serni-bar bsrou powers
OF North Africa, 80 there would
be no further molestation OF our com
merce in the Mediterranean. Twenty
two OF the prisoners were ransomed by
the government for about. sixty thou
sand dollars. while the others died n
captivity or were ranSomed br their
friends In a short time the annual
tribute from The United States
amounted 70 over one million dollars,
when the economist" IN congress
realized that the tribute was far ex-
eeedjng the cost Of maintaining > navy.
Then the cry Millions for Defense:
Not Penny for Tribute was Ezised
