The French colony Of this county Gel
ebrated the 107th anniversary Of the fall
of the bastile by holding literary exer-
cises and a grand ball at Illinois hall
last night. Five or six hundred of the
French citizens of this city and vicinity
took part in the celebration and made it
a very successful affair.
Dr. f. A. de Cailhol, president of the
day, made short address in French and
read a copy of a telegram which the
French colony had just sent to Presi-
dent Faure of France
Edward l.. Hutchison delivered an

ming of the independence of the people
Of the two nations Is so much interviewer
that nothing should prevent joint Gel
ebration of the Fourth of July and the
Fourteenth of July. The French nation
had a steadier and more regular growth
than any other great nation of the
world, and it's people had learned the
art of living better than any other peo-
pie The French revolution of 1889 was
due to the love of liberty inherent in the
French people. Other nations had sunk
as low under the oppression of tyrants,
but tho French would not endure servi-
tude of any kind. The French revolu-
tion and the American revolution were
the most successful revolutions in his
tory and were the most important fac
tors of modern civilization. Almost
every sentence of Mr.. Hutchison's ad
dress was received with hearty applause.
Mr.. T. Perichon delivered an able and
earnest address in French. He spoke of
the causes and effects of the revolution

point in the history of the world.

THREE TOUGH YOUNGSTERS
Landed In the City Jail on Charge Of Robbine
House

K1Oubc
Mounted Officer Arguello yesterday
Afternoon arrested three boys named Earl
Hurt, Greed Rayford and Albert Sober
anes away out on Boyle Heights near
Manhattan Junction. On the evening Of
July these three. together with another
who has not yet been captured, are
charged with entering the residence Of
Mrs. Isabel de Kersauson at that place
and committing the crime of burglary.
Mrs. Kersauson, with the assistance
of her son Robert, runs general store
in the vicinity, and on the date named
was moving out of her residence, leaving
1t empty. Nearly everything had been
taken away, but the boys, when they
broke in, found some plunder. There
was a valuable onyX-cased clock on Il
maatel, which had been imported from
France, on top of which was bronze
valued at $50.
Gaining an entrance the boys made
way with the bronze statuette, but the
clock being unwieidy, they smashed it
into smithereens and gutted the works.
Then they gained access to the upper
story by climbing ladder from the out
side, and smashing a hole through the
roof. Here they found nothing to carry
off or destroy. Robert Kersauson saw
them about the building and endeavored
to catch them, but they made their es-
cape. He notified the officers, who have
since been on the watch for the gang, and
yesterday they came back, three of them
and again tackled the empty house.
Officer Arguello appeared and the boys
ran. For over two miles across country
they led him lively chase, but the fact
that he was mounted and they on foot
told, resulting in their capture as stated
Young Kersauson assisted in the cap
ture, and was sure the boys had come
back to get the balance of his pigeons
of which they had already stolen eight
cen. The trio will be arraigned in court
today.

A Human Bono That Never Decays.

In olden times it was believed that the
little triangular bone at tho lower extrem-
ity of the spinal column in the human
subject could not be destroyed. The old
Jewish rabbis taught that it was "incor.
ruptiblo'' and Furthermore that it was the
scat of the soul. In other words, they be-
lieved it to contain the germ from which
the "new man" (or woman) would spring
at the time of tho resurrection. There is
an old Jewish tradition to the effect that
the emperor Hadrian doubted that tho
bono was indestruotible and incorruptible,
and demanded that certain person who
was teaching that doctrine should prove
it. Lightfoot (see Brewers Dictionary Of
Phrase and Fable, title LUCY relates tho
result of the test in the following: "When
Joshua Ben Hananiah prepared to present
his proof to tho emperor, he took the bono
luz and put it into wator, but the water
did not affect it; he put it in fire, but the
fire consumed it not Next he put 1t in
mill, but tho mill would not grind 1t.
Then be laid it on an anvil, but no ham,
mer could be found largo enough to crush
it," This superstition fingers today in tho
modern anatomical name Of that bone,
which Is "os sacrum," meaning sacred
bone. st. Louis Republic.

What Cathode Means.

Let us see what we mean by the term
cathode If wo should break the tiny fila
ment of an Edison incandescent lamp at
the middle of the glowing loop, the light
would go out. If, now, we connect the
two ends of the broken filament to tho
poles of battery of q great many thou
sand voltaic cells, such as are commonly
used to ring house bells, we should be able
to light the lamp again, not by incandes-
cence, but by feeble glow which pervades
the whole bulb. The ends of the broken
flament would glow, and the glow at one
end of the filament would be different in
appearance from that of the other. The
broken filament, by means of which the
electrical energy enters the bulb, is called
the anode, and the filament by means of
which, in ordinary language, it leaves the
bulb, is called the cathode. Now the great
popularity of tho cathode rays is this
they seem to be independent Of the position
of the anode, and they stream out from
the cathode like the beam of searchlight,
striking the walls Of the inclosing vessel.

WATER AS A FOOD.
The Pros and the Cons of Ice Water Also

1t is generally acknowledged by physi-

than too much, and the great benefit de-

There is not much danger of taking too

drunk is often ve1ed question. This may
be left to the individual, for the quantity
taken (one-half to one pint) at any time
can have but little influence upon the

SANITARY LEGISLATION BY CON-
GRESS.

The bill passed by the House of Rep
resentatives on Tuesday making it a
penal offense to sell aduaterated liquors
which the United States is approx
mating older countries in what nay be
called hygienic or sanitary legislation.
The change which is going on in this
regard is due to a change in social con-
ditions. In the early days of the gov
ernment there was no necessity for such
legislation, because the evils which it is
Those were the days of pure o and
honest dealers. 1t is only in compare
lively recent years that imitation but
ter, compound lard and adulterated
foods and drinks of II kinds have been
put On the market. Now there is scarce
ly an article of food that is not coun-
terfeited or injuriously a~dulterated, and
wines are the exception rather than the
rule. There is no higher duty of gov
eminent than to protect the people
against being poisoned or swindled by
the sale of aduIterated foods, and as
distilled liquors and wines are often pre-
scribed for the sick. they come in the
same class. In fact, in all European
and the laws against making. handling
or selling adulterated or manufactured
wines are very severe. In recent years
Congress has found it necessary to legis-
late in regard to artificial butter, and a
bill is now pending making il a penal
offense to sell filled cheese as genuine
cheese. The time comes when every
government finds it necessary for the
prevention of fraud and the protection
OF the health Of its people to pass such
laws. During the last few years many
of the States have enacted laws against
the sale of adulterated foods and wines,
and eventually all will have to do SO.
The bill just passed by the House
amends Section 3449 of the internal
revenue law. The section at present is
as follows:
Whenever any person ships. transports or
removes any spirituous or fermented liquors
or wines under any other than the proper
name or brand known to the trade as
designating the kind and quality Of the
contents Oh the casks or packages containing
the same, or causes such act to be done.
he shall forfeit said liquors or wines and
casks or packages, and be subject to pay a
fine Of 500.
This applies only to the manufacturer
or shipper of spurious or adulterated
liquors or wines; the bill passed by the
House amends 1t so as to cover the sale
Of such articles, thus including the
wholesale and retail dealer as well as
the manufacturer and shipper. The
bill was recommended by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue and favor
ably reported by the ways and means
committee, and it met with very little
! opposition in the House. If properly
enforced the new law ought to purge
the market of adulterated liquors of all
kinds n wipe out the entire brood of
cheap and nasty mixtures which in re-
cent years have seriously injured the
| reputation and market value Of pure
American wines at home and abroad.
