THAT PETRIFIED MAN.
Considerable Speculation as
 to It's Genuineness.
The Coroner May Decide Whether the Image Is an Ex-Human Be-
 ins or a Work of Art.

The Burnett Bros. and their petrified man are strictly "in it" as far as raking in money is concerned. Yesterday the stone image was on exhibition at the Gregory house and many people visited the curiosity. The sentiment regarding the genuineness of the stone man is divided. A good many look at it and
 pronounce it a bona fide proposition, while others shake their heads know ingly and remark about the Fresno manufactory, where petri6ed men are made to order on short notice, or while you wait. It is hard matter to con- vince people when they have been duped few times Some even accuse a well known sculptor of this city of having hand in the making of the image and that it had been buried in the river bottom. If such is the case those who buried it did not make aI- lowances for sudden rise of the river

 KANsAs CITY, Aug. 22.-Headquarters were opened this afternoon looking toward the success of an expedition al- ready partially organized in behalf of the freedom of Cuba. The nucleus of tho expedition consists of 100 picked men who are ready to go at any time. The method of procedure is secret, but the leaders, all of whom are prominent, say there exists no doubt about the transfer ot men to the island.
 OrvilIe Shelby, son of Fighting Jo Shelby. is at the head of the move ment. He and a few of his closest friends, it is learned, held meeting last night lasting until 10 80 this morn ing at which plans for carrying on the expedition were suggested and earnest ly discussed.
 The following named gentlemen are sad to have participated in the confer ence: Ex Prosecuting Attorney Mas tin, B. B. Crosby of Butler, Mo-, son of Rear Admiral Crosby of, the United States navy; J. R. Lincoln. distantly related to the martyred president; c. Breckinridge of Palmyra. Mo-, related to the distinguished confederate general of that name; Joseph Brooks, John Warner, William Showers and others

which would wipe out the exact loca- tion of the burial place,
 Justice Johnstone takes legal view of the matter and is thinking seriously ofimpanelling jury and holding post mortem examination to determine whether the man died of delirium tremens or dissolution had been pro. duced by indigestion caused by heavy diet of cement.
 Until the district attorney has looked up the law regarding live and stone corpses the coroner will do noth. ing but if the examination is held and an intelligent jury decide that the delicate wrinkles on the toe nails of the petri. fled man are too genuine to be the handiwork of art, the coroner will seize the form on the grounds that the exhibiting of dead bodies, whether they be of stone or common clay, is prohibited under the statutes. In that case the petrifed man will be pulver- ized with a sledge hammer and re- turned to mother earth.

MONTE CRISTO. The Arizona CroeSuS
 Gets Into Trouble. A Warrant Issued For
 Geo. T. Johnson
Who Is Entertaining Guests at
 Santa Catalina.
He Closed Out Ills Business Here But Failed tc Settle With
 Ills Creditors.

Geo. T. Johnson, the Arizona Monte, Cristo,"i is in difficulty. The modern Crosus has been having gay sport at the Santa Catalina Islands. His friends were legion and he had plenty of money to spend in giving yachting par ties where the best in the land. was served to his guests.
 George could not stand prosperity to be dubbed "Monto Cristo' turned his head and to show that the title was no misnomer he spent money with lavish hand. The report of his great wealth was noised abroad but alas.
 Murphy, Grant X Go. of Sen Fran cisco, one of the largest firms on the coast. heard of the doings of the mar of wealth and were greatly astonished thereat for they thought he was nigh penniless. He owed them @ bill of large amount for goods. Johnson re- ceived the goods and held 8 clearance sale but must have overlooked the small matter of settling accounts with the large dry goods firm.
 It is said of Johnson while he was in business in this city that he was man of little business ability, or else was woefully careless. Many of his custo- mers received unheard of bargains at his counters. A clerk who worked in his store said that Johnson had no faith in banks. He had large sus- bender box in his store which was filled with gold pieces of all denominations. While in Phoenix Johnson made many friends who looked upon him as a wholesouled jovial man. The follow ing is an Associated Press telegram sent out from San Francisco regarding the trouble Johnson has gotten into:
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-Murphy, Grant com pany, wholesale dry groods merchants, had warrant issued for the arrest of George T. Johnson, late of Phoenix, Arizona, latterly of Los Angeles and Catalina Islands. Some 1 time ago the firm received from John. son at Phoenix an order for goods, promising prompt remittance; the goods worth 5000, were sent him, and instead of remitting Johnson held a clearance sale, disposng of the goods at a sacrifice. When the firm heard of Johnson cutting wide swath at Avalon on the Santa Catalina Islands giving steamboat parties, holding fireworks displays, etc., warrant was issued for his arrest.

CAMP SERVICE.
Congregations Daily Growing
 Larger.
Visitors From All Parts of the Valley Visit the Camp and Att
 tend Service.

Day by day as the campmeetinq grounds fill up with tents and many bright, happy faces are added to the already goodly number, the grounds take on homelike appearance. Chil- dren have jolly times swinging and playing games, while the elders quietly enjoy their new surroundings. The services throughout the day make it 8 continuation of attendance and many we'll prepared talks and sermons are delivered that have direct results. In the early gloaming ladies have an earnest prayermeeting, led by some mem Der, that lasts an hour, and the gentlemen do likewise. At the close of this it is time to take part in the even ing service, presided over by some minister. This series of meetings is intended to do good, their earnestness carries conviction with each effort and much concern is being felt by the at- tendants.
 A small crowd attended the evening services owing to the threatening ap. pearance of the weather. Clouds hung low, while incessant lightning pictured to the timid heavy storm. but nothing but clear sky greeted those who ven- tured out on their return.
 Rev. Vaughan delivered a short ser. mon from portion of the fifteenth chapter of Matthew on faith. He has never failed yet to interest congregs- tion and last night was no exception.
 Services continue as heretofore, which consists of two sermons per day and three prayer services.
 Some ot the best speakers that have ever spoken from the territorial pulplts are at these meetings and have kept large audiences in rapt attention throughout the services.
 Some may go to have "good time," but there is such spirit of earnestness prevailing the meetings that they quietly take their seats and remain until the meeting is dismissed.
 Singing has been good throughout, all joining in one voice that waits the sweet old songs far out on the evening, bringing back sweet refrain.
 Yesterday at g 8. ID. W. H. Smith led in prayer and praise meeting. At II a. m. Rev. Wyancoop preached an able sermon. At 80 MT. Stewart, one of the old pillars in the church, led with earnestness and m uch effect.
 One more family joined the campers yesterdav-Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur.
 Mir. Brack and wife of Tempe, visited the camp and attended services yester- day.
 Misses Cummings and Jones came in for the day from the south side yester- day.
 Congregations are daily increasing and much interest seems to be taken.

BiSMARCK'S BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Space r

Measure menfs Showing That the Space For
Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck 5 hNid, says 4 correspond
cnt of L'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules Of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made the statue Of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has q head
Of extraordinarily large size. Measured
horizontally from the frontal bone to
the occiput tine head is zig millimeters,
or more than s.351a inches The dis
tance from temple to temple is 40 mil
imeters. or trihe over 6. 90 inches.
Bismarck's cranium has capacity Of
!, 1,3G5 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh 1867 grams.
These figures become especially sig
nificant when compared with the meas
urements of other heads. OF Z, 800 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex
ceeded 200 millimetcrs horizontally
from front to back, and that one meas
ured 206 millimeters. or six millimeters
less than Bismarck $. The mean meas
urements OF 30 members of the Natural
Science society 1T Carlsruhe were 1876
millimeters from front to back by 155
millimeters from temple TO temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 205 by
16a millimeters. The cUbic measure
ment Of 2i5 German heads was nearly
500 cubic ccntimeters under Bismarck's.
while the estimated weight OF Bis
marck's BRAIN is 30 per cent above that
Of the average adult European brain. In
fact, Bismarck is man not only of
blood and iron, bat Gs well of brains

A DROP OF WATER.
fhe wondezs Thai Nay BE Been Therein
Through . Microscope.

The Wonders Thai Kay Re Seen Therein
Through . Microscope.
To tho ordinary mortal q drop Of wn-
ter is what the primrose was to Peter
Bell, drop Of water and nothing more,
but to the student of nature, armed
with q high power microscope. it imme-
diately becomes a world teeming with
living creatures, the most minute repre-
sentatives Of animal life. These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace's description of a battle he once
witnessed while examining % collection
Of rotifers. which were amaased i'll
single drop Of fresh water. Among 9TH
ers, Mr. Grace noticed q f1ne specimen
Of infCsorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as II
intent ON mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
ony had lost several of its members. and
that the infusorian's form had rounded
out until he resembled miniature st.
Louis bartender. Mr. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusortan's move
nents and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
Of such expert swimmers Gs the
rotifers are known to no was erected.
A few minutes wait sufficed. Soon 1t
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot Of a rotifer, which
was resting OH the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
rs q mouse in an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. Tho infuscrian, seeming to know
his victim was secure, began to goad
the tethered creature and torment it in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. He would jump upon its
back and bite 1t i'll several places with
lightninglike rapidity and then spring
off and seize a leg and pull it almost
from its socket. Mr.. Grace says that he
watched this unequal combat for nearly
a half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion.
Noting the death of his victim, the in
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, rs
lie doubtless had done the others that
were missing.
Mr.. Grace next examined small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
i'll which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sim
gle drop previously examined. 1t was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devOured victim, would almost imme
diately divide into two or four new ami
mails, each of which would quickly
swim away III search of prey, just as its
parent had done before.-St Louis Re-
