coons" described by DR.. D. Sharp were,
however, remarkably good athletes, for
they could spring out of a small vessel,
such as tumbler, in which they were
placed. These cocoons were from South
Africa, but in spite of their exceptional
gymnastic efficiency DR.. Sharp hard
ened his heart and sacrificed them upon
the altar of science, in the hope of dis
covering something unusual that would
explain the powers of Jumping.
The cocoons looked like piece of oval
pottery, about five millimeters long,

and they no doubt belonged to the
larvae that made the cocoons. This

ANARCHISTS ACTIVE.
Meeting in HaymarI<et Square Called
for This Morning.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Under the guise
of mass meeting of unemployed"
a number of unknown Chicago anar-
chists have called a meeting in famous
Haymarket square for Sunday morning.
The utmost secrecy has been observed
in the preliminary arrangements. All
local anarchist leaders profess entire
ignorance Of the identity of the pro-
meters or the purpose Of the meeting.
1t is learned that Lucy Parsons has
been invited to speak and George Koop
is said to be one of the prospective
orators. 1t is said an attempt will be
made to arouse public sympathy in
the interest of striking miners, and it
has been suggested that the time Is
ripe to start sympathetic movement
In Chicago, in support of the strikers.
Local labor agitators are greatly in
terested and large attendance is
predicted. The police will watch the
meeting closely, and may break it
up.
