The repartee between the lawyers was

Patrick Reddy's presence denoted that

1t was Ribas who brought the Blairs to

the Occidental restaurant. Between sobs

MISS Blair told him how they had con-
sp1red with Dimond to blackmail Bariilas,

the women over at once to his attorneys,
Eisner d Reinstein. They were asked to

QUEER MOUNDS.

Wisconsin.

Two In the shape of Animals Found IL
Wisconsin.
An interesting discovery of two
mounds in the form of animals has been
made in Wisconsin, about two miles
from Winona, Mimi. They are on the
side of a bluff. One is thought to have
been intended for 4 deer. Both are
about 2H feet above the surrounding
ground, and their outlines are very
plain. The dimensions of the deer
mound are: Tail, &c feet; body, "a feet
long, 10 feet wide; neck, 13 feet
long; antlers, 10 feet long, and about
8 feet spread; head, Is feet from
end of nose to antlers, feet Z
inches from neck to foreleg, IS feet
long; hind leg, 10 feet . inches long
and : feet 10 inches wide where tho
body is joined. The neck of the animal
extends exactly east and west, the head
being at the east end. The antlers and
nose extend in line directly north and
south, the nose pointing south.
Some so feet south of the first mound
is another, which takes the form of d
rat. The tail is very long, extending
considerably over 100 feet. The body is
about % feet long.
No pillow has ever married either of
these mounds, and so distinct are they
that it seems curious they have never
been noticed before to be animal
mounds of the ancient mound builders.
Both mounds are but a short distance
from plateau upon which are num-
Der of round mounds, which have never
been previously Investigated.

AN enormous crowd assembled Mon

Punctually at eight o'clock DR.. Joachim
drove off from the tee, signor Patti re-

Joachim was badly bunkered, but using
his niblick on the G string in mastery

movement was halved amid great en-
thusiasm.

Patti began the second movement, and
outdrove DR.. Joachim by at least 20
bars. Mr.. Gibson approached cleverly,
and in the trio there was nothing to
choose between the opponents, the coda

SCRAMBLE FOR BRIDAL FAvORS.
An Ancient and Curious German Wedding
Custom.


In the February Ladies Home Jour
nal Mox Won Binzer writes of his ex-
perience as "a Page at the Berlin
Court" upon the occasion of a double
royal wedding, and of the preceding
and succeeding festivities. Describing
an ancient and curious custom, he
writes: ''And now CATER the wedding
dinner and balD came the 'Fackeltanz.'
Several of the highest officials entered
the hall with flaming torches. A pro-
cesslOn was formed with the bride in
the DIST. A number of complicated
polonaise figures were then executed,
after which the Inc closed about the

The designer and builder of this or

building, got into bad habits, commit,

Sage learned of the young -convict's
capabilities through some drawings
which he made, and, finding him COM
petent and eager to ply his trade, the
warden fitted up small room for his

and set him towork.

change in the demeanor of the man.

The authorities were fully aware of
the conspiracy, and, instead of taking

THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE.
Some Observations Made In the Deepest
Holes.

Some Observations Made In the Deepest
Holes
Physical geography teaches that the
increase of temperature as we descend
into the earth is about one degree
Fahrenheit to every SIS feet descent.
The following deep mines in the world
show accurately the amount of this
increase in the most notable instances.
The deepest mine in the world is the
Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and
Becla mines, in the Lake Superior re-
gion, Which has been sunk to the depth
of 1900 feet. The greatest depth in
Great Britain is 3,474 feet; Belgium,
1897; Austria-Hungary, 3,672; Vic
toria, 1902; Germany, 1890 feet, and
France, 1900 feet. In the Calumet and
Hecla mines the increase of tempera-
ture is the least on record, being at
tributed to the presence of Lake SUI
perior. On the other hand, the re-
suits of the Comstock are enormously
high, from the lode being heated by
volcanic action and the presence of hot
subterrauean waters. The mean Of q
number ot observations of the Red
Jacket shaft gives an average of CO
feet per degree Fahrenheit. The deep
est bore hole yet made WAS sunk by
the prussian government, in 1893, and
reached a depth of G,572 feet, the in
crease being one degree Fahrenheit for
GIL feet. In the Comstock mine it is
SD warm that sometimes it isimpossibie
to word, due to the increased tempera-
ture, and ordinarily the men have to
be changed very often, sometimes az
often as once in 20 minutes.

US is that our forefathers came to this
land, followed the sun and came with
him from where he rises; that they
were long time on their journey, were
on the point of dying, all of them, and
that they found themselves carried into
this country without looking for it. Do
not ask me more concerning this thing"
said the keeper, "for the tradition says
nothing more on the subject, and no
old man will tell you more than what

ABSURD ERRORS.
Made by Noted Authors, and, Among the
Number, Shakespeare.

Made by Noted Authors, and, Among the
Number, Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's anachronisms certain
ly give him the palm for the greatest
number Of mistakes. Some of them are
also strillingly absurd, as, for instance,
the allusion to Cato in Coriolanus, sup
posed to have been made two centuries
before Cato was born, and the allusion
to striking clock in Julius Caesar CEN
turtles before such thing existed.
These may, however, be put down to
carelessness and the chaotic state of
chronology in Shakespeare's time, and
none OF them are either as absurd or
as indefensible as the error of which
Coleridge was guilty when he marred
His immortal "Ancient Mariner" with
the lines:
THE horned moon with one bright star
Within the neither tip"
For such an astronomical monstros-
ity as this to have been visible, either
the star must have been on the earth
ward side of the moon, or else it must
have shone through the solid body of
our satellite. What makes it all the
more absurd is the fact that an educated
man like Coleridge could hardly have
been ignorant of such an elementary
fact as this.
