seem to have any effect on his mental
faculties 30 far as could see, judging from
his conversation and the appearance of
his face"
Speaking of the audience. Bishop Scannell
said: You must observe that these audi
ences are very short. The Pope is very old
and the bishops seldom get private
audience. They are rather formal affairs.
because the Pope's time is very much oc-
cupied. 1t would not be possible to get into
the discussion Of questions spoken OF at
any length. even II were at liberty to tell
them now"
Concerning the condition of the Catholic
Church in Italy, France. Germany England
and Ireland, the Bishop took occasion to
say: I'm Italy ] think there was a great
Improvement in the relations OF the people
and government since my last visit. In
France things are not so satisfactory.
France is a republic only IN name: II is an
oligarchy. 1t Is governed by a few men
who are not in harmony with the mass
Of the people. II is a centralized govern
ment The projects and mayors of the
towns depend on the central power for

form of government in the country. The
French people don't seem capable of any

DURRANTS TRIAL TODAY.


SAN FRANCISCO. July z.-Interest in

ders. which shocked the country. will be
revived tomorrow. when the trial OF Theo-
dore Durrant commences Last April San
Francisco was startled by the discovery
of the outraged bodies Of Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams. two young members
of the congregation. Suspicion pointed to
Theodore Durrant, young medical student
and a member OF the church. AT the coro-
ner's inquest and preliminary examination
II was shown that Durrant had been at
tentive to both girls: that the day Blanche
Lamont disappeared he had been In her
company. and that on that afternoon he
was seen in greatly excited and dis

had made an appointment TO meet Minnie
williams on the night she was murdered
and witnesses will testify that they saw
two people resembling Miss Williams and
Durrant enter the church that evening.
Miss Williams's purse was also found In
Durrants possession after he had been
arrested. Durrant and his attorneys say

RELICS OF GLACIAL MAN.
Nine Prehistoric Skeletons Found in
- Newly-Opened Ohio Mound.

FRANKFORT. O.. July 21.-W. X. Moore
head. curator of the State University mu-
scum, made some important discoveries in
the ancient mounds near here during the
past week. One mound. which he opened,
contained nine skeletons buried two feet
below the surface in a layer OF gravel. The
bones are those Of short. heavy. muscular
men. The skulls are thick and rather round
and the facial angle Is low. Several skulls
give evidence OF artificial flattening OF the
base during infancy.
No skeletons found in Ohio present a
more inferior tribe physically. In other
gravel knolls about this place AIR. Moore
head discovered further evidence OF burials
OF similar character. Arrow heads, axes
copper bracelets and various ornaments lay
b. nearly every skeleton. DR.. Thomas Will
son. OF the Smithsonian Institution, and Mr.
Moorehead visited all the caves of the
Hooking and Paint valleys in search Of
traces OF the occupation OF glacial men.

Mrs. Pietzel was saved from interviewers
yesterday. A closed cab drove up to the

announced, he was taking to Detroit, and
that it was Mrs. Pietzel. AS a matter of
fact, she did not leave until the TAO o. oclock

exptected there will be until Holiness Phil

ROBBING THE INDIANS.
Lands Purchased at ExOrbitant Rates
VIII Probably He Lost


WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Tne district
land officers in those parts of Kansas and
Nebraska where parts of the former Otoe
and Missouri Indian reservations are To-
Gated, have been instructed to inform the
purchasers of these lands that the balances
due by them must be paid within ninety
days, or their entries will be Cancelled.
These lands were bought at public auction
in 1893, at prices largely in excess of their
appraised value. One-fourth of the pur-
chase money was paid down, and the rest
made payable in one, two and three years,
at per cent interest. Congress twice ex-
tended the time OF payment OF these de-
ferred amounts for two years each time.
In March, 1898. 1t passed a bill giving relief
in case the Indians would accept its pro-
visions. The Indians have refused to do
this, and the department will enforce the
original contract. There Is now s192, ,122 prin-

Should Stars Knock Together the Fire

nous velocity and vast momentum II
the two masses would be such as To pass

/ II may be that the sun was formed by
the collision Of two stars. The effect of
tNvo such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be To reduce them
to violently agitatcd gaseous mass,
which would oScillate, first inward. pro-
ducing inconcclvable heat. and then ont
ward again. ultimately assuming the
condition Of the sun. The general re
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolye around their common center Of
gravity-that is To say. around each 9th

Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together If
two great bodies rather than by the ag-
gregation Of many smaller ones. The
collision Of two huge SIMS would thus
lead to rejuvenescence and the formation
of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much i'll the nature
of collision had ocA,rred are the ont
bursts Of temporary stars such ms those
observed by Tycho Brahe in l572, by
Kepler in 1904 and those Of 1913. 1866,

great increase in the light Of comet as
il approaches the sun may be due to a
tidal disturbance in the bodies forming
it. causing them to knocl against each

In the same way the twinkling Of the
stars may be caused by the knocks of
the molecules of the atmosphere on the

THE FiSH'S BALLOON.

A Mystery That Scientists Have Not Vet
Been Able to Solve.
Naturalists long ago studied the com
position of the gas contained i'll the
swimming bladder of fishes and discov-
cred that il consists of the principal
constituents Of the air-namely, oxygen.
nitrogen and carbOnic acid. But these
constituents are not mingled i'll the fish 5
balloon in the same proportions as they
are in the atmosphere, and besides their
proportions do not remain always the
same in the fish. Sometimes the bladder
contains hardly any oxygen; ut others
oxygen constitutes nine -tenths of the
whole contents.
The variation i'll the quantity of oxy-
gen is somewhat mysterious. and nat
uralists have offered several different
suggestions rs to the cause Of it. Some
think the fish may be able to control the
quantity of oxygen i'll its bladder by its
own will. Blot, distinguished French
naturalist, Thought he had solved the
problem by discovering that the proper
ton of oxygen was larger i'll fish that
lived at great depths and smaller i'll
those that lived near the surface of the
sea.
But quite recently new observations
made from the Prince of Monaco yacht,
Princess Alice. seem to prove that Blot
was mistaken and that the deep dwell
ing fish carry no more oxygen i'll proper
ton than do those living i'll shallow wa
ter. Some Of the fish whose swimming
bladders were examined by the natural
lists ON the Princess Alice came from q
depth Of no less than mile.
They We're compared with fish which
seldom descend below 200 feet in depth
and with others which prefer depth of
about 500 or 600 feet, and all had near
~ the same proportion of oxygen to aid
them in swimming.
The variations mentioned above seem
therefore TO depend upon some other
cause than the depth of the fish S dwell
ing place.
