PROFESSOR FALs ON 1895.
His Announcement Of the Critical Day
For the Coming Year.

His Announcement Of the Critical Days
For the Coming Year.
Professor Rudolf Falb Of Liepzic, the
discoverer Of the 'critioal days." in
giving their number, order and dates
for the coming year in the columns Of
The Deutsche Kaiser Kalender for 1895,
states that observations begun in 1858
convinced him that the influence or the
attraction of tho moon and sun upon the
upon the ocean of the earth's atmos-
phere as we'll as upon the liquid and
volatile masses contained in the interior
Of our globe. He discovered that great
atmospheric disturbances, shocks OF
earthquake and explosions il mines
were surprisingly often coincident with
the days upon which the most extensive
tides and other oceanic connections
were caused by the influence Of either
moon or sun, or both. These periods
Professor Falb distinguishes by the
name of "critical days" because they
mark on the one side periodical turn
ing points" in the equilibrium Of the
neptunic plutonic and atmospheric
masses above mentioned. and on the
other side afford the measure and means
for computing the degree and effect Of
lunar and solar forces upon our planet.
The individual consultations affect
ing each for itself an increase Of these
forces are: First, the perigee--that is,
the time when moon and earth are near
est to one another; second, the moons
equatorial position; third, the perihe-
lion, when our globe is nearest the sun;
fourth, the suns equatorial position;
fifth, the syzygies, or new moon and
full moon: sixth. the lunar or solar
.eclipses
The coming year will be especially
notable for the fact Of its three most
critical days being accompanied by
eclipses In mentioning the dates in
their different orders and grades of in
dividual effectiveness Professor Falb
takes care to state that the results of the
strongest attractions often precede their
"critical days." as theoretically COM
puted, by one or two days, while those
of lesser import may be from two to
three days later than periodically fixed.
The latter may also be the case at the
time of critical days Of the first order
whenever long continuing and extern
sive atmospheric pressure or eastern
winds prevailed previous to these dates.
The following are the "critical days"
for 1896:
OF the first order, Sept. 1S, March II,
Aug. 20, Feb. o, Oct. l8, April 9, July

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Dr. O. T. Thoumain,
formerly a professor at Marsovan, has
received a letter from an Armenian at

ticulars regarding the Turkish atrocities
in Armenia. "Ths details of the bar

LAUGHS AT DEATH.
How Two Sticks, a bad Indian, Received

How Two Sticks, a Bad Indian, Received
Capital Sentence at Deadwood.
When sentence was passed on 1.-TWO
Sticks, the courtroom was packed, and
when the presiding judge expressed his
belief that all four Indian murderers
should be hung the people cheered, and
the United States marshal was called
upon to preserve order. Red Elk, COM
monty known as 1.-TWO Sticks" (sinoe
his crippled condition has compelled
him to walk on crutches) the first Of
all his race to 'feel the heavy hand Of
the invader, " will be hung Christmas
week for the cold blooded murder of a
16-year-old white boy. Throughout the
trial Two Sticks has seemed amused
at the proceedings and has felt sure Of
being acquitted. They did not hang
Grow Dog, he argued, so they couldn't
hang him. Crow Dog was the first In
was on trial here in 1852 for the mur-
der of Spotted Tail. chief Of the Sioux
tribe, and was found guilty. But the
case was appealed to the supreme court
of the United States by Grow Dogs at
torney, known to the Indians as the
"little man with the big voice" and
now judge Of this judicial district, and
in the supreme court the Indian was ao-
quilted.
Two Sticks is not popular, even
among his own people. He is bad In
dian, according to their story. He was
with Rain In the Face at the Custer
massacre; he was at Wounded Knee,
where one of his sons was "killed with
grub in his mouth" wherever the In
dian wars have been most barbarous and
bloody, wherever the innate cruelty and
treaohery of the red man have been most
manifest, there Two Sticks has been in
the midst of them. His hatred Of the
white man is bitter and intense.
Two Sticks received both verdict and
sentence with absolute Indifference.
When asked by the judge whether he
had anything to say, no replied, without
any show of feeling or interest in the
matter: II am an old man, but have a
brave heart, and am not afraid to die,
but if am to die l think it would be

CzAR AND THE MANIFESTO.
On His Deathbed Alexander III Declare,
his Love of the Peace Policy.

On His Deathbed Alexander III Declared
his Love of the Peace Policy.
Pathetic stories, some true and some
probably apocryphal, about the last
hours of the late ozar are. appearing in
the press of the continent. The most re-
markable is one which purports to de-
scribe how the dying monarch himself
revised the manifesto which announced
his own death and his sons succession.
This is intended as refutation of the
assertion that the manifesto was writ
ten by De Giers. AS matter of fact,
there is every reason to believe that the
proclamation was written, of course in
accordance with instructions, by the
procureur of the synod. According to
the story, the late czar pressed his son
to give him tho manifesto. When he
had perused it, he expressed his appro-
bation. saying that he felt perfectly re-
signed, as his work would be continued.
He would, however, like to add some
words which would reassure the Rus
slams and Europe. He then wrote:
"We, in the presence of the Most
High, record solemn vow always to
make our sole aim the peaceful develop
ment of the power and glory of our be-
loved Russia and the happiness of all
our faithful subjects"
Reading the manifesto again, Alexan-
der III paused at the passage, but also
far beyond the borders Of Russia the
memory Of the czar, who was tie incar-
nation of unswerving loyalty and of
peace" and added the words, "a peace
which, during his reign, was not once
broken"
1T is my claim to glory" observed
the emperor as ho laid down his pen.
II desired peace, tho greatest blessing
that God can grant us in this world.
May misfortune befall those who break
it, but you will know how to maintain
it with those who arc with Us AID to
make others respect it"
