a massive iron gateway admits to one of
the prettiest garden spots of the capital,

lawns and along the stretch of river bank

Human Curiosity.
Cincinnati Triture

From the Cincinnati tribune.
1t doesn't take much to draw crowd.
This was exemplified the other day in front
of the Federal building. A bicycler stopped
suddenly on the north side of the building
and leaned his machine up against the
curbstone. This was not unusual, but when
he dropped on one knee beside the front
wheel and began to work with it the crowd
began to come. Inside Of five minutes
there We're twenty-seven men. thirty-four
boys and one policeman gathered about
the bicyclist. Men from the other side Of
the street paused and looked at the crowd,
and then walked across to see what was
up The crowd closed in about the kneel-
ing man and craned their necks until he
was entirely lost to view. Transfers stop
ped and climbing down from their wagons,
Joined the onlookers. and newsboys ceased
selling their wares to see what was up.
One excitable man was just rushing off to
turn in an alarm for the patrol or fire en-
gnes when he was stopped by the cop
per- before he got to the box.
Amt anybody hurt?' he asked in as
constituent. "Ain't somebody run down or
stabbed or sunstruck? Is it a murder or a
suicideT
Neither" replied the policeman, as he
walked slowly away with tired look about
his face and gait; hes retillin' his pneu-
matte tire. that's ALL"
And he spoke trutnfully.

Next Monday evenings meeting OF the

Langdon has been enjoying real sensa-
ton for several days which has not yet
appeared in print. Some workmen engaged
in repairing a house on the Bladensburg
road recently discovered what were be-
Iieved to be the bones of a half-grown
child, buried about two feet beneath the
cellar bottom. Soon after this discovery
rumor gained circulation that strange
sounds and stranger sights were TO be
heard and seen about the house at the
midnight hour daily. An officer who ac-
companied a party of truthseekers to the
premises one dark night was said TO have
had his lantern snatched from his hand
and to have been roughly pushed out of
doors and the door slammed after him.
Several delegations Of spiri.ualists and
others, mostly others. from Washington
have visited the scene, and tell strange
stories of their experiences. But the most
diligent inquiry on the part of The Star
representative has failed to locate any
responsible parties in this neighborhood
who can verify the rumors mentioned fur
Their than the finding Of the bones which
are said by some to have been those of t
pet dog buried in the cellar many years
ago by an induigent lover Of canine pets.

From the Boston Globe


1t is the omission Of some of the simplest
duties in life that frequently cause the
most trouble and expense. Among other
things. the common failure to keep and pre-
serve family records Is most prolific
generations. The fact that the simple dates
of births, deaths and marriages can be
found for only a limited number of years
in thousands of families throughout the
societies. genealogists, heirs at law. pension
claimants and many other classes. While
the Information concerning the past can be
CLEANED orly in part, and then through the
expenditure of considerable money, the
present and future should witness change
in this direction. Family records should
not only be kept. but they should be pre-
served by all the members, because in a
very few years the nearest relatives be-
come separated forever.

Do Flies Talks

From the London Public Opinion.
An ingenious inquirer, armed with a mi
crophone. or sound magnifer. has been
listening patiently through long hours to
the curious noises made by house flies, and
reports his belief that they have language
of their own. The language does not con-
sist of the buZzing sound we ordinarily
hear, which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air, but OF a smaller.
finer and more widely modulated series of
sounds, audible to the human ear only by
the aid of the microphone. Probably this
fly conversation is perfectly audible to the
fly ears. which, as every schooiboy knows
who has tried to move his hand slowly
upon them, are very acute The hope Is
expressed that, since the heretofore in
audible whispers of flies have been detect
ed and recorded. some inventor may con-
struct a microphone which will enable us
to make out the language of the microbes.
and so surprise them in the horrible secret
of their mode of operations.
