NOTORIOUS HoRsE THleF.
John Lyons Arrested For n Crime Com
mstted Eight Years AGO.

SPRINGFIELD Mass. Nov. 13.-John
Lyons, the most notorious horse thief that
has ever operated in New England and
New York who has served eight years I'm
Sing Sing and also long terms in Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Maine state
prisons was arrested in Hampton by Chief
Mccain Of the West Springfield police
force on the suspicion Of having stolen the
horse and carriage in his possession. He
was identified by Inspector O'Day and
taken to Worcester on the charge Of steal
ing a pair of horses from ex-Mayor Pratt
eight Years ago.
Lyons operated extensively In Westches-
ter county n. Y, and it is estimated that
he got away with $40, 600 worth OF horses
and carriages. During his most prosper
Gus career Lyons lived in pretentious
house in Hyde Park, near Boston, and was
surrounded by all of the comforts OF life.
He was regarded as a mysterious but re-
spectacle man, yet all the time he was car
rying on an extensive business in horse
stealing in western Massachusetts, and
New York stnte.
Lyons gave the name of James johnson
when he was captured and the circum-
stances Of the arrest We're unusual. Chief
McCann had started on a coon hunting
expedition in Hampden, eight miles from
this city and in the BAN where he put
up his horse he found a man rolled up In a
blanket. A now buggy was outside the
barn and a handsome horse in a stall. In
quiry showed the man TO be suspicious
character, and he was arrested for vagrancy
and charged with that offense before the
police court.

In Lapland they have no salt, and the
bark of the fir tree is used as a substi-
tute. The Lapps peel the bark from tho
trunl Of the tree, carefully remove the
epide mis-, and then divide the inner
bark into quite a number of very thin
layers
During the brief but extremely hot
Laplpud summer the layers are exposed
20 the sun until thoroughly dried; then
they ire torn into narrow strips and
placed in boxes made of fresh bark
taken from other trees Deep holes are
then dug in the sand. and the bark
boxes are buried in them, where they
are allowed to remain for about three
days
Ths second day fires arc made over
place. where the boxes are buried and
kept burning brislSly for several hours.
The leat penetrates deep into the sand,
turns the fir bark deep red color and
gives TO it pleasing taste and odor.

New England Apples In Holland.

Boston, Nov. IA private cablegram
received in this city from Hamburg states
that the first shipment Of apples ever re-
ceived there from Boston has just been dis
posed OF and netted from Sc. 30 to "a per
barrel, according TO quality. These are
remarkably high prices, especially in view
Of the fact that there has been a determin-
ed effort in some quarters Of Germany to
keep ont the American product by circu-
lating absurd stories about apples contain
ing germs of disease. The cable further
stated that the supply was inefficient for
the requirements of the trade.

OTTAWA, Nov. 13.-James NJ. Maccoun
Of the geological survey, who as an agent
for the Canadian government has been
studying seal life all summer on the Priby-
LOFT islands, has returned to the city He
says that the number Of seals on the islands
was much greater than had been reported
by United States agents last year The
somewhat smaller catch Of the pelagic seal
ers this year Is TO be attributed not to
scarcity of seals, but 10 exceptionally rough
weather during the first two weeks Of Au-
gust. The sealers as rule expect to take
as many seals during the early part Of
August as during the rest Of the season,
but this year there were often several con-
secutive days when the weather was so
rough that a boat could not be lowered.
