STRANGE LABORATORY IN PARIS.
Established in the Catacombs Cndci

Established In the Catacombs Under
the Jardin dcs Plantes.
Deep In the bowels of the earth curl.
Gus laboratory is about to be establish
cd In the Jnrdin dcs Plantes. Under
the gardens run some old galleries Of
the catacombs, which have not been
opened in 100 years. The laboratory
which Is to be established In these gal.
leries will give an opportunity to study
the effect of obscurity upon animal
life. Everyone has heard of the fish
without eyes In the cave Of Kentucky
and other freaks which exist In dark
wells and such places. These facts are
of great Importance In studying the evO-
luton Of man and species. but so far no
researches upon the subject have been
carried out by scientists.
Down in the deep galleries of the cat
acombs 1t Is always pitch dark and flsl,
ponds will be dug In the solid rock and
stocked with fish to study the effect of
the obscurlty upon them and their off,
spring. Animals will also be kept down
there for the same purpose.
A good deal of trouble and some dan
ger was experienced In opening up the
galleries. which have for so long been
closed. The temperature 200 feet be.

derminc almost the whole Of Paris and

and also for growing mushrooms. Tn.

never been used since the etoneworkers
left them in ITO. They are very mar.
row and one has to stoOp in going
through them. In some places the roof
has fallen in. but most Of the galleries
are dug out OF solid rock and will last
for all time. The laboratory will be the
only one Of Its kind In the world and
the savants who have undertaken ex-
periments will throw new light upon

"A murder was committed under
rather peculiar circumstances. A man
named Bill Chadwick and a man nam.
ed Tom Plummer were enemies, and
had been for some time. each having
threatened the life Of the other. A
reconciliation was effected. and one
day the two men went hunting togeth.

the latter had gone to Kansas.

Chadwick had no relatives and there
was no way Of dIsproving the story.

popularity Of the teeth the remains

attorney, who had known Chadwick
slightly, and he identified the man a.

took the FIRST train to Lincoln, reaching
there just in time to secure Q pardon

CarboniO Acid Gas In Cars.

For some years inventors have been
trying 10 transport fruit In cars filled
with carbonic acid gas. Inasmuch -
the germs of fermentation cannot live
In this gas It u assumed that no Ice
would be needed, and since this II both
heavy and expensive It 10 thought that
fruit can be transported for long dis
tances much more cheaply In the now
way. A car load Of fruit In one Of these
cars was lately sent from San Jose,
Cal. to Chicago, but the result was
not satisfactory. The fruit had not
rotted. but owing to the extremely hot
weather It had almost been cooked.
Ice will still DO . necessity In very hot
weather unless some means Of keeping
the car cool Ii added to the antiseptio
advantages Of the gas.

That Sale of

Down in the cool basement,
there's a lively scene this
week--a rafting of pots and
pans---a hurrying to and fro
of busy clerks, and a throng
of eager enthusiastic buyers.
Out in the shipping room,
great heaps of parcels tell of
a rapidly disappearing Agate
stock, and compel us to ask
your indulgence, if these par-
ticular goods are not so
promptly delivered as they
would be under less congested
circumstances.
The Rice boilers, Straight
sauce pans, and milk boilers
are all gone, and a few more
days Of such panic-buying will
make a memory of the great
est sale of agate-ware the Big

ance on the program at Manhattan

raised for the opening bars there was
expectancy depicted in every face, and
before the last notes had time to die
away the vast audience broke forth into
a burst of widest applause. Sousa re-
peated it and again it was cheered by
eager hands to the echo. Like its many
predecessors, it made a great hit. 1t is

melodies, and exquisite in rhythm.

n TRIBUTE.
The Late Miss benjamin of Milford.

The Late Miss Benjamin of Milford.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1t seems fitting at this time that I
should pay tribute to one whose long
journey through life ended less than
one week ago. I refer to Miss G. A.
Benjamin of Milford, an honorary mem
Der of the American Board. A short
time previous to her death she in a
retrospect of her life stated that in her
younger days she had worked very
hard to collect funds for the board,
and 1t was to her a source of joy that
she had done it Goods" work
She was born the year the board was
organized and to attend the anniver-
saries was one of her pleasures; the
last one was the seventy-fifth at Bos-
ton, she saying at that time 81 will at
tend the meeting of the board once
more"
The Sabbath before she died she join
ed with her feeble voice in singing
1.-The Lord My Shepherd Is" and after
three verses recited:
while He affords His aid
I cannot yield to fear
Tho 1 should walk through deaths
dark shade
My Shepherds with me there"
The following Sabbath she was dead
and we trust and believe cared for by
her loving Savior, whom she had so long
and faithfully served.

The third act shows the Foyer of the
Cirque des Bashibazoucks, five years
later. La Svengali is to sing at the
nights concert. The three English
men, visiting Paris together, meet sew
eral old friends. In the great singer
they recognize Trilby, who snubs them,
being under Svengali's influence. Taf-
fly has a violent alteration with Sven
gall, who dies of heart disease during
the riot in the concert hall, caused by
Trilby's inability to sing without him.
Trilby is taken away by Taffy as the
spectators hide the body of Svengali
from her sight.
