This, If True, Is Most Remarkable.

Tho experiments of W. Inglcs Rogers
would seem to show that real images of
objects are formed on tho human retina.
Mr.. Rogers looked flxedly at q shilling in
daylight for a full minute, then covered
tho window of tho room with II yellow
screen to exclude actinic rays, and fixed
his ego steadily On the ccntor Of q photo
graphic plate, keeping all his thoughts &C.
cupied with tho image of tho shilling.
After looking at the plato for 43 minutes
he developed it and found q dim outline
Of the coin.
Continuing his experiments, Mr.. Rogers
produced "a ''~psyohogram" in the presence
of throe trustworthy witnesses, the object
heing n postage stamp, instead of a coiu.
The stamp was placed in a strong light
and looked at for one minute, then ENJOY
cd, and n Photographic plato put in its
place. Mr.. Rogers continued to look Mt
the plato for 90 minutes. 1t was then de-
velopod, and the image obtained was ro-
produced in Tho Amateur Photographers.
Although somewhat vague, it shows that
an image on tho rotina can send out rays
capable Of influencing q sensitive plate

We are SO accustomed to standing up

us think what a special complex mech

moments consideration will show that
the ordinary explanation Of the erect
position (tho center Of gravity to be di-
rectly above tho feet) is insufficient.
When 4 man is suddenly shot, whether
from the front or behind, he drops on
his face, fer tho truth is that there is
much more weight in the front Of the

Tho fact is that when we are standing
O large number Of powerful muscles
(both front and back) are simultaneous

being to neutralizc each other. Thus,
the legs would fall forward were it not
that they are kept vertical ON the feet

time the muscles of the thigh are tight

Cherokee Bill Hung.

FORT SMITH ARK, March 17.-At
2:13 p. IN, Crawford Goldsby alias
Cherokee Bill was hanged. He was
declared dead in ten minutes. On the
gallows in reply to the question if he
had anything to say he answered !:
"No, I came here to die, not to talk. !"
Turning he kissed his mother good
bye and with smile on his face walk
ed to his place on the trap. Father
Plus said a prayer while the doomed
man was being pinioned. Bill was
smiling when the cap was drawn over
his head. The moose was adjusted and
at q: ID, turnkey Eof sprang the lever
and threw brew the trap.
Bill got his wonderful nerve from his
mother. She stood by him on the
gallows without hinching or shedding
tear. She took the body to Fort
Gibson at o'clock. Crawford Goldsby
was the name conferred upon Cher
okee Bill when he was born at Fort
Gibson, l, r., February s, 1867. He
was one of the few robbers who in
tested the Indian Territory during the
reign of terror of 1894 and belonged to
the Cook gang. Bill's last robbery was
the one which cost him his life In

Raid ON MOonshiners.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 24-Capt.
Chas. M. Taylor, of the internal rev.
enue department made successful
raid into the mountains of Polk coun-
ty Saturday. In the raid he succeeded
in destroying q fifty gallon still which
was the property of Lucindy Lerford.
1t was about thirty-fve miles from
Cleveland and was within one mile Of
the Georgia state line.
Capt. Taylor did not arrest the wo-
man, but notified the deputy marshal
for that county and he will see that she
appears at the next term of the United
States court in this city. The woman
is an old offender. She was before
Judge Key eight years ago and was
given a penitentiary sentence Of eigh-
teen months which she served out.
Capt Taylor says that she is the first
one of Judge Keys sentenced prison
els whom he has ever caught in the
business again, but that she is a tough
character, and has given the govern
ment much trouble from the way she
persists in violating the revenue law.
