HIS SON IN The DARK.
He Wore a Mask and Was BurRIarL
izing His Parents House.

II can't press the charge against him,
judge, won't you please let him go?" An
old, gray bearded, crippled father thus
pleaded for the liberty of his erring son In
the Harlem police court, says the New
York Journal John Hunter is over three
score years of age, and hobbled into court
on crutches. Near him stood his son
John. 1s years old. By the boys side was
Joseph Dolan, few years older, a little
taller and not so bright looking nor so
well dressed. Both hung their heads with
shame.
The Hunters live at No. l61 East One
Hundred and Twenty-hrst street. The
father is gas inspector. On last Tuesday
morning at 8 o'clock the old man heard a
noise in his parlor. The OR mamie is "a
years of age-went to the door and listen
ed. He heard stealthy footsteps below,
and without stopping to dress he went
down to investigate. At the parlor door
he encountered two masked men, one Of
whom dashed by and escaped from the
house.
The other intruder, unable to get away.
grappled with Hunter, and a fierce fight
took place in the parlor. Furniture and
bric-a-brac were upset in the mad strug-
gle. Hunter is still active and muscular,
and might have overpowered the burglar
had his foot not slipped. He fell, and the
person with whom he was graphing broke
loose and got away, leaving his mask be-
hind. No words were spoken during the
fight and the intruder left without booty.
Later in the day the son and companion
were arrested and confessed.
Hunter, the next day, was called to tx
leak in gas pipe. There was an ex-
plosion and he was taken to the Harlem
hospital unconscious. While he was in the
hospital the two boys were arrested.
Their examination was postponed until
he was able to go to court. Back in
the audience young Hunters aged mother
sat and wept
Won't you make complaint against
your SOM" asked Magistrate wentworth.
mo, please. Judge" the father replied
in broken voice, don't ask me-"
"Will you make a complaint against the
other prisoner"
mot against him, either. Judge, if
you'll discharge my son." said the old
man; 'he will start for Nebraska with
relatives this afternoon"
Both Of the prisoners were discharged.
In the corridor waited the mother of
young Hunter
ooh, my sonT' she exclaimed, as she
caught sight of him. Then she fell back
into the arms Of friends in a faint.
Young Hunter is now on his way to the
west, where he will be put to work on
Nebraska farm.

LIKE PETS IN POULTRY YARD.
That Is the Way BncterIOlOgists Re-
gard Their Germ Colonies.

Bacteriology is a science that gives the
greatest pleasures to students, and they
are invariably keenly enthusiastic, says
an English journal. To have a fine colony
of diphtheria or cholera germs in a flour
ishing condition is a source of great pride
to experts, and they inspect the various
germ families in their possession with
more than the pride of poultry fancier
making round of his yard. Just now 1t
is very distinguished thing among bac-
teriologists to have specimens of the bu-
bonic plague bacillus. OF course, tboy
are expensive and dificult-at present-to
obtain in England at all, while in the
United States there is said to be only one
man who has the bacilli. They may, of
course, become as easily procurable as
cholera or typhoid microbes, but that will
not be YETI and many people will pray
never. 1t is not pleasant to think that
slight accident may result in the implant-
ing of the psychologists germs in the
most fruitful SOIL instead of their remain
ing in his laboratory to work out their
destiny in the cause of experimental sci
ence.

IRREGULARITIES OF THE DoLMEN.
Structures Found in India, PnIes>
tine, Persia and Peru.

On the continent the term dolmen is almost
universally applied to the whole construction,
including the covering, mound or cairn, says
Hutchinsons Prehistoric Man and Beast Thus
French and other writer's speak Of a chambered
mound or tumulus as a dolmen But since
1t is probable that some never were covered up,
1t seems better to make a distinction, as we
do In this country. In France there are said to
be about 1900 dolmens, many of which would
in England be called chambered tumuli. The
indian dolmens, which are not covered up,
resemble those OF western Europe. Captain
Meadows Taylor examined large number in
India and obtained particulars of no less than
2l2s in the DeklEan. About half of them had
an opening on one side, probably for the free
entrance or exit of the soul Gas people thought
them, just in eastern Europe beyond Sax
ony. They reappear in the Crimea and Cir
cassia, whence they have been traced through
central Asia to India. They have also been
noticed by travellers in Palestine, Arabia,
Persia, Australia, the Penrhyn islands, Mad
agascar and Peru.

Wealthy Young Widow Out for a

learned that the handsomely dressed womun
