Colony of Russian Jews.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. "a com
mittee from Chicago, representing
a colony of Russian Jews, has been
in this county several days pros
pecting for land, and it is an
nounced that they have decided to
purchase body OF land near the
Louisville and Nashville railroad,
a few miles north OF the city, upon
which to locate the colony. This
colony embraces thirty-five fami'
lies, and among them are skilled
farmers, gardeners, fruit grower:
and artisans.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.
They Will Either Elect Blackburn
in Kentucky, Or Shut All Out.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. AIN the
event the republicans unseat
Messrs. Kaufman and Thomkins
in the lower house before the cleo
ton of a United States senator is
reached it has been suggested that
the democrats in the senate could
block any steps looking toward the
election of a senator by breaking a
quorum of the joint session. Poll
ticians are busy discussing this
feature of the situation. Under the
rules governing a joint session a
quorum from each branch of the
general assembly must be present.
AS the democrats have a clear ma
jority in the senate it would be
easy enough for them to absent
themselves to break the quorum
in that body. This being the case,
no United States senator could be
elected, and Mr.. Blackburn would
serve out his term, after which
there would be a vacancy. This
scheme has caused considerable
comment, but it is said that it is
only one of the many high cards
that the democrats have up their
sleeves to be used when the time
comes.
The report comes from several
sources that there will be fun over
the appointment Of the senate COM
mittees when the general assembly
meets. 1t has been the custom
heretofore to allow the lieutenant
governor, in the capacity OF presi-
dent Of the senate, to namo the
committees. But this year the
lieutenant governor is a republi-
can, while the senate is democratic.
1t is more than likely that the SEN
ate democrats will follow the ruiz
VI the United States senate, appoint
the committees in caucus and
then adopt them in the senate
This would give the democrats con-
troll Of the committees, whereas II
the republican lieutenant govern
or has the appointment he would
naturally throw the chairmanshiL
and the important committees into
the hands of the republican minor
ity, There is little doubt that this
will be the p ogram, and bite
fight Ia sure to result. The posi-
BILE outcome will be watched will

UPPER WHITE RIVER, ARK.
1t Can be Improved, But 1t is No
Needed Just Now

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Sec
rotary of war has transmitted 70
the senate the report OF the chiei
of government engineers on the
examination made by Lieut.. Will
liam l.. Sibert, giving the result OF
his preliminary examination OF
the Upper White river, in Arkan-
sas. 1t is the opinion of Lieut..
Sibert that the Upper White river
is worthy of improvement; also,
that the proper method OF improv-
ing all of it, except the alluvial
portion, is by means of locks and
fixed dams. The division en-
gineer, Col. II. NJ. Robert, corps of
engineers, cOncurs in the opinion
Of the local officer that the Upper
White river is worthy of improve
ment by the United States from
Batesville, Ark, to Buffalo shoals,
a distance of about eighty-nine
miles. In the opinion of Col.
Robert, the remainder of the Up
per White river is not worthy OF
improvement just now. Gen.
Craighill, the chief of the United
States engineers, says in his re-
port that while the surveys con-
vince him that the river is capable
of improvement from the en-
gineer's point of view, the infor-
nation he has at hand does not
convince him that the needs of
commerce justify the expenditure
of public money upon it at this
time.

A considerable number Of researches

A considerable number OF researches
have been going on in the psychological
laboratory Of the University of Wiscon-
sin during the current year. Mr..
Quantz, fellow in psychology. has been
investigating the psychology OF the
reading process. His main attempts
have been to ascertain what processes
help to make one a rapid reader and
how far the ease Of comprehension Is
related to the quickness OF reading. The
research has not gone TAR enough to
yield very definite results as yet and
will be continued another year, but n
number OF very significant suggestions
have been reached. Mr.. Bolton, a gradu-
ate student, has been Investigating the
relation between sensation and sugges-
ton, or, in other words. how far what
we see is determined by what there is
there to see or by what we suppose Is
present. A number OF ingenious
methods of studying this influence have
been devised and a paper is in prepare
ton on the subject. Another investiga-
ton relates to the question Of how far
We mean the same thing by the same
words. The investigation begins with
the color-names and attempts to ascer-
tain how far what We associate with
the name red" or blue" is the same
for different individuals. Similar in
vestigations regarding size and shape
and other common notions are also in
cluded in the study.

fist preacher Of New York, has been
granted a divorce in Oklahoma. 1t ap-
pears his wife objected to his leaving
home on Sundays to preach and even
spoiled his Sunday coat and filled his
Sunday shoes with water" These are
somewhat novel reasons for divorce,
but they are also novel methods Of an
noyance for a woman to employ. It Is
evident that Mr. Worth. being a
preacher, was forced to preach, and it
Is also evident that he could not preach
with satisfactory results in spoiled
Sunday coat and with his shoes full Of
water. 1t is a unique matrimonial
complication and Mr.. Worth must be
commended for his resolute stand
against permitting IA wet blanket to be
thrown over his religion.

The Strung jaw in Some Men.

Among all old world apes the teeth
against natural foes and for combats
for mates or tribal supremacy. The
CANNES are in most cases enormously
developed, insomuch that ill-informcG
naturalists have suggested that q near
relationship must exist between the
primates and the carnivora. AS a mat
ter of fact these formidable teeth have
nothing to do with alimentation but
are purely weapons of war as are the
bayonet and the Maxim gun. In prac-
tically every emergency demanding
unusual energy, obstinacy and courage
they come into play. In every con-
flict with the world, the flesh and the
devil-as such things are understood in
pithecoid sOciety-the temporal and
masseter muscles are the chief arbiters
of war. To become great and power
full anthropoid it is absolutely and
brutally necessary to have large and
strong jaw to give firm attachment to
the teeth and good leverage to the
muscles. That for all immense epoch
our pre- human ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as
clear as the print of Maya" to those
who have learned to read natures

Arcadian simplicity our life has be.
