THE RoMANoFF DYNASTY.
Beginning of the Present Autocratic
Sovereignty in Russia.

During the long civil wars in Russia
which followed the extinction of the
Rurik dynasty, the imperial title was
still claimed by upstart usurper czars.
In 1913 new dynasty was chosen. to
put an end to the rule of pretenders.
Michael Romanoff, the son of Philaret,
the Metropolitan of Rostoff. was eject
ed by a kind of states general convoked
for the purpose. There had been vari
Gus candidates; but letter, said to
De written BY Philaret, having been
placed before the assembly, which was
coucned In terms advocating conStitu-
tlonal government, the son of that
church dignitary was elected. The
letter said that the assembly ought not
TO confer irresponsible power upon the
monarch whom they would appoint,
out that the legislative power should be
divided between the car. the house of
boyars, and the states general. The
oath imposed upon Michael Rcmanoff
was therefore to the effect that he
should nerner decree laws, nor declare
war nor conclude treaties of peace or
alliance, nor infiict capital punishment
or conhscat1on of property upon any
person except with the assent of the
boyaa'S and the parliament.

wATcBED A BoY.s HEART BEAT.

The pulsations of a human heart
were watched by a score of trained
eyes yesterday in Exhibition hall at
the Mechanics building, where were
gathered physicians from all parts Of
the state. Standing between q
Crookes tube and large box, in
which the observer shut himself out
from the sunlight, was a boy divest
ed of coat and vest. To the yOungSteI
it was something Of a circus" but to-
the physicians, who, one after an
other, took their places in the box, ic
was an exemplfieation of an end-of'
the-century achievement Of science.
For the Y rays laid open to the hui
man eye the interior of the boy $
chest, and there, pumping steadily
away, was to be seen his heart, every
throb of which could be discerned so
clearly that any irregularity might be
easily detected. So simple is the ap-
paratus required, and so startling the
results, that the physicians became en-
thusiastic over what they termed the
opening of a new era in medicine and
surgery.-Boston Globe.

ANOTHER HERMANS STORY,
THE MISSING PASTOR AGAIN Lo-
GATED IN IDAHO.
He Was Arrested Near the Town of
Paris-Much Excitement There,
But the Probabilities Are That
the Prisoner is Not Hermans.

The enterprising people of Idaho
ag.dn came to the front yesterday by
claiming to have captured the real and
only Rev. Francis Hermans, the Scan
dinavian Methodist church murderer.
This time the erstwhile preacher had
not set out toward the Jackson Hole
country, but was discovered in a thick
ly settled district in the southern part
of the state. The following dispatch
received by The Herald yesterday even
ing tells the story of the CAPTURE:

THE ARREST.

Paris, Ida, July 3-fhis town is all
excitement, as the supposed Rev. Fran
CTS Hermans was captured in the hills
west of this place this morning by
Sheriff jeff Davis and Constable E.
Peterson of Mink Creek. The suspect
who gives his name as Charles Ander-
son, is a well educated, fluent Scandi-
navian. He was in Mink Creek a few
days ago, and acted so suSpiciously
and told so many contradictory stories
that the officers there Swallowed him
AS soon as he found this out he made
his way, afoot, through the mountains
to Bear Lake. The officers lost track
OF him in the timber, but found out
Where he stayed night before last, at
Lanark, a small place four miles from
Paris. He told the people he knew
one of the girls murdered by Hermans;
that he crossed the ocean with her from
the old country. Investigation shows
that he has evaded all the settlements
on his road here by keeping in the
foot nils only going a night to some
lonely house for something to eat
Whenever any person has appeared in
sight he has hid himself in the willows
or ran to the hills. He was brought
before Justice James H. Wallis this
evening on a charge Of vagrancy and
gave quite ar account of himself He
said he went to Utah five years ago,
and that he had been in almost every
place but Salt Lake City. He con-
fessed to being acquainted with a num-

has glasses, but would not wear them
when requested. Justice Wallis COM
mitted him to Jail so as to give the
officers here time to investigate
There were many reasons to believe
that the good people of Idaho were mis-
taken in their man, and so further
particulars were requested. Shortly af-

Close Shooting.

An Englishman who lived many years
in Africa says that 1t is now several years
since no vcnturcd to take one of the most
daring shots that ever was hazarded His
wife was sitting in the house near the open
door, tho children were playing about her,
and he was without, not for away, busy
with wagon.
Suddenly, he says, though it was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared at n short
distance, slowly advanced and laid himself
quietly down in the shade upon the very
threshold of the door.
My wife, frozen with fear, remained
motionless In her place. The children took
refuge In her lap, and tho cry they uttered
attracting my attention 1 hastened toward
the door. My astonishment and horror
may BIO imagined when 1 found tho en-
trance barred In such n manner
The lion had not seen mo, and glided
gently, scarcely knowing what meant to
do, to tho side of the house and to the
window OF my chamber in which l knew
my loaded gun was standing.
by happy chance l had set it In n
corner close by the window, so that could
reach it from the outside, and, still moro
fortunately, the door of the room was open,
SO that could see the whole danger of the
scene
There was no time to think, for tho lion
was beginning to move, perhaps with the
intention of making "a spring. 1 called
softly to tho mother not TO be afraid, and
then fired. The ball passed directly over
my boys head and lodged In tho forehead
OF the lion immediately above his eyes and
stretched him ON the ground.
There was an instant OF fearful suspense
Then fired again, but the second bullet

salt fabric mndo of black mohair and
white spun silk has attracted much alton
ton. Tho weave is very loose and soft,
but the threads arc closely intcrlocked,
making durable fabric.
Besides cloth nnd similar wool goods
employed for tailor made gowns there IS
an astonishing variety of materials, almost
all approaching tho mohair typo. Tho
colors arc wonderfully soft and beautiful
and have tho added charm Of brilliancy
that mohair always possesses. Changeablo
effects are Of course seen in oil comblna-
lions of tone. The summer passcmentcries,
spanglcd and other, embroidery and lace,
form charming trimmings for these lovely
fabrics. Fine, thin broche silks In delicate
coloring and taffetas are also much in
vogue, ohnngeable tones being preferred.

Metals.

Mercury, of course. is fluid Mt all ordi-
nary temperatures. OF the metals which
we commonly regard as solid lead can be
made to flow with great case. If, by hy-
draulic pressure, 1t is forced into a cylin-
der with hole in tho side of 1t, it will,
when the cylinder is full, flow out of the
hole In solid barlike stream. The harder
metals, AS gold and silver, obviously un-
dergo slight iluxion movements in tho
process of coming, Us iron IS not perfectly
rigid. In drawing out bar of it into
wire the change of form compcls the par
tioles of tho metal to slide or shear over
each other, just as in the flow of liquid.
So great are the pressures that can be APP
piled by modern mechanical science that
even steel can be compelled to change its
shape without fracture, and all such
changes imply nuxion in the metal.-Cin-

greenish yellow rays como together at o
point nearly six inches nearer to the lens
than do tho violet, so that tho image of q
bright star is surrounded by strong pur-
plo halo, which is usually pronounced
perfectly lovely" by n female tyro, but is
an abomination to tho astronomer. 1t is
particularly annoying in spectroscopic or
Photographic work, and where such work
is specially in hand the fact that tho re-

This imperfection of tho ordinary object

clan, but lies in the material itself. Ex-
porimepts, subsidized by the German gov

remedying tho evil, with special reference,
however, to tho improvement of tho micro
scope. In that complete success has been
reached, and there is much reason to hope
that before very long it may become pos
siblo to obtain varieties of glass which in
combination will give satisfactory achro-
matism and in disks of sufficient size to
permit the construction of largo telescope

offering to make three lens objectives up
to 90 inches in diameter, which are advcr
