SoME interesting experiments in
homing sparrows have been tried
by a frankfort, Pa, man, which
met with success in so far as the
birds returning to their haunts,
broods and nesting places is con-
cerned. Two males and a female
were caught, and for fear that the
female might be the mother of a
known nestful of young depending
on her for sustenance, the birds
were kept in captivity but for a
short time before being released on
a trial fly Of 1000 yards. The birds
were each marked with a small
strip of white paper tied to one Of
its legs and carried to Bridesburg
Station, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, from where the house of the
experimenter was in plain view,
and then let go. The released
birds at first behvaed al
together similar to pigeons
when let go at a distance from
home. With their peculiar bobbing
up and down motion, but soaring
higher as they few, making short
circuits in the air, they soon struck
out in a Decline for home. That
they did not tarry long on the way
was manifest, for the hen bird came
swiftly around the corner of the
barn and darted in among the
vines, behind which was her wait
ing chattering brood of four, in a
trife over three minutes from the
time Of her release, The gentleman
interested intends carrying the ex-
pertinent further, and will probably
have his next fly from three to FIVE
miles, and so on, and see how far
the little fellows can find their way
back, and hopes to prove that
sparrows will home for moderate
distances as well as pigeons.

1t is told that anatomists when they
wish to separate the bones of skull
sometimes resort to very peculiar pro.
cedure. They fiji the skull with small
beans and place it in a vessel Of water
The beans swell and rend the skull apart

Psychologist, Grehaut, measures the force
which the beans are capable Of exerting
under these conditions, and found that 1t

some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all, !
but the class who are con-
demned to execution does not
include many men capable of
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilities of these crimi-
nails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy
murderer" event bravely to-
his death at the age of l6.
When Is he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, is absurd to-
suppose. OF two other cases
that came under the obserya-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scafold
coolly, Snow was falling when
one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on a bench in the
Jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck. )"
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was a red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (Which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we
should not be alarmed at this
little outbreak, but brace up
we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had a number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthful
exercise, and a great preventa-
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken a firm hold upon
the people of the islands, and
it is the popular and common
thing to ask man on a wheel
is this Monarch or Tribune,
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels :" This
popularity must mean that
these bicycles are superior in
quality and price to other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle to
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
nozzles is uniform in all direc-
tons and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at a fire
they make such a spread of
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the ball
nozzle the nearest approach to
rain that has yet been invent
ed. We have a number on
hand and so that all may have
an opportunity to own one we
are going to sell them at $1.5O
for Japanned and $500 for
nickle plated.

Rash Act of MagHus johnson. n
Blacksmith, Who Has Been
= Playing Out of Luck.

Magnus Johnson, residing at 2709
Eighth street, Minneapolis, attempted
suicide early yesterday morning at
623 Preble street, this city johnson
used a razor, inf1icting an ugly cash
on his throat, but fortunately miss
ing the jugulars. He also slashed
both wrists. After thus attempting
to take his own life, Johnson cooIy
awakened the residents of the house
where he was rooming temporarily,
and informed them Of what he had
done. Alarmed at his condition, thew
summoned DR.. G. R. Ball, who
dressed Johnson's wounds and sent
him to the city hospital.
The patient exhibited symptoms of
insanity upon his arrival, talking in
coherently. He soon relapsed into a
stupor, remaining in that condition
for several hours. Johnson's actions
indicated opium poisoning, and upon
recovering sufficiently he was charged
with having swallowed some poison
Gus drug. After some hesitation, he
admitted that he had taken a whole
lot of laudanum," as he expressed it,
on the night previous. He declared
he had done so for the express pur-
pose of taking his life. In his eager
ness to kill himself he had taken too
much Of the poison, and finding that
the drug did not take effect, he ap-
pealed to the razor.
Johnson, who is a blacksmith, al
legged that his business was bad, and
being almost penniless, he determined
that he was tired Of life, and hence
tried to end it. He has a wife some
where in South Dakota. His condi-
ton at present is critical.

The revival meetings which will com

conduct them, is a. man of considerable
learning and culture, and a standing
contradiction to the opinion so fire.
quentiy expressed nowadays that no
body but fogies and fanatics believe in
the old-fashioned gospel. While he
is Canadian by birth, his eighteen
years pastorate of the Western Ave

made him thoroughly familiar with
the habits Of thought prevalent in this
country. Since his REIMBURSEMENT
his passionate to devote himself wholly
to evangelistic work. he has been very.
successful, and excellent reports come
from the churches he has visited.
Until the arrival of DIR. Perren this
morning, no definite announcements
will be made, beyond the fact that the
meeting will commence on Sunday
evening, and at that service a. full pro-
gramme for the week will be ready
Tor distribution. The singing will be
conducted by gospel chorus under the
leadership of George H. Butrick.

KING OF THE VIOLIN.
Ysaye Will Be at the Peoples
Church Monday Night

1t will be of great interest to the
music-loving public of st. Paul to hear
the great violinist, Eugene Ysaye, in
the same season with Cesar Thorn
son. The two men differ so greatly
that they lend themselves to anti
thetical comparison. Where Thorn
son is, perhaps, coldIy intellectual,
Ysaye is full of passionate intensity
of feeling, and where Thomson makes
himself the mouthpiece of the COM
poser's idea, Ysaye infuses into the
composition his own great tempera-
mental energy, and one is conscious of
the personal note. being sounded The

will be made in st. Paul Monday even
