CHARITY SUPPLIES FOR CUBA.
Governor General Suggests That
They BE Sent to the Bishops.


They Be Sent to the Bishops.
Washington. Nov. 27-In consequence OF
the widespread restitution among the peo-
pie who have been concentrated at GER
tain points in Cuba, the governor general
of the island has informed Consul Gen
eral Lee that United States citizens, who
desire to send supplies to the poor and
needy in Cuba should send them to the
Catholic Bishops nearest the point of col
lection, and these prelates would in turn
consign whatever might be sent to the
bishops of the island at Havana and San
tiago de Cuba for distribution. He also
informed our consul general that the Mad
rid government alone has power to remit
duties on supplies that may be sent in.
1t is suggested that the quickest and
probably the most practicable method Of
rendering aid to the sorely distressed
whose lamentable condition appeals to all
charitably inclined people for aid, is by
sending money rather than supplies.

TOO CLOSE TO A KIcKER's HEELS.
StabIeman sued for the Tricks of n
Vicious Horse.

Kicking was the controlling feature In
a lawsuit tired before Justice Wickham
yesterday, which resulted in judgment
for Roxy A. Morgan against Shearouse &
Co., liverymen on William street.
A horse to be cared for temporarily was
left by the plaintiff with Shearouse &
Co. The arrangement at the barn was
such that the horse could not be taken
in and out, or even watered, without pass
ing close to the heels of a kicking horse
that made it a point to extend his hoofs
at passing objects. Several passes were
made at Morgans horse, but it was not
until a few days ago that the animal was
kicked seriously and killed.
An action was brought to recover dam
ages on the ground that negligence was
shown in leading the horse so close to the
olsiclxer"

of Jefferson there is now flock of fifty
or more mountain sheep. Jefferson is
on the South Park railroad, about
eighty-one miles southwest of Denver
in Park county 1t is an old, estab-
lished community, and has near it the
well known summer resort, Jefferson
lake. The vicinity, disturbed BY the
rumble Of trains as we'll as the sounds of
human life and industry, is not at all a
quiet one. 1t has none of the charac-
terlstics which usually mark the natural
home of the almost extinct mountain
sheep.
And yet. Tor several days past, band
of at least fifty of the soft-eyed large
horned native sheep of the Rocky noun
tains has been calmly grazing around
the town of Jefferson and close to the
railroads. 1t is said that the sheep do
not display any sign OF fear of the JEFF
| ferson people. Many of them come in
| open daylight within easy pistol shot
of the residences. They do not run
away unless somebody purposely tries
to frighten them.
For many years past the sight of a
mountain sheep has been rarity in
Colorado, and usually but one al time
has been seen. A hunter far off from
civilization might descry solitary
sheep. perched on a crag overlooking
some wild and steep canyon, but hardly
ever within gunshot rarge. No such
thing as fifty sheep together has been
reported, even by the veriest Munchau
sen of hunters. When a lone sheep was
seen it usually disappeared from view
at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the descent
of fifty sheep upon the town of Jefferson,
as though they had formed themselves
into an excursion party somewhere
among the mountains, does not lock
reasonably expla!nable. The general
theory is that bitter cold and deep SHOWS
in the higher attitudes drove them down
ward. and that they joined together for
mutual protection as they Travelled from
peak to peak. Killing mountain sheep
| is absolutely prohibited by law in Colo
rado. It Is a closed season all the year
around with the animals, just as it is
! with buffalo.-Denver Republican.

LARGEST OF ALL ARSENALS

DeXonport Is Tremendous

The Importance of Devonport as a ma
val base has been repeatedly demon
strated. Today the dockyard and the
keyham steam factory cover an area
of 145 acres, exclusive of the victualing
yard, the naval barracks, the Royal En-
gineering college and the many other
government buildings located on the
banks of the Tamar and occupying 700
additional acres.
The present board of admiralty have
now commenced a scheme of extension
which, in costliness, if not in import
ance, will eclipse any work of the kin i
previously undertaken, and will convert
Devenport-with the exception of Penn
broke, the youngest of the royal dock
yards-into the largest and most eff
GENTLY defended arsenal in the world.

their hand to scheme of naval eXpan-
sion at the western port which will en-

A HUNAN PHOH0GRBPH
Charles Dorm Performs Great
Feats OF Memory
MOST MARVELLOUS MEMORY
His Friends Swear by His Wolserfnl
RetcntivcEess
An Extraordinary Case of a Man Who
Simply Cannot Forget When

The harder Charles Dorr Of San Fran
cisco tries to forget anything the more
indelibly it is stamped on his memory.
He has the most wonderful memory on
the Pacific coast.
He is often called "the human camera"
and the live phonograph" so faithfully
does his eye and ear record passing
events.
Let this man of wonderful memory
once get a good look at a face, and it
is never forgotten. This fact more than
one criminal caught by the San Fran
cisco police and positively identified by
Dorr can sorrowfully but truthfully
testify to.
1t is rot by any particular effort that
these wonderful feats of memory are
performed; it is simpiJ natural for him
to see a place, person or thing once and
never forget it, as It is for the ordinary
person to glance at passing crowd OF
strangers and fail tn identify any one
of them two weeks later.
So far as memory goes, MI. Dorr

CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE
Ma1 Can Endure Mare Violent Alternatives
Than Other Animals


The statistics below, showing the
highest aid lowest temperature which
man can endure. may prove interest,"
ing. To begin with the difference be-
tween the highest and lowest limits y
estimated at $50 degrees Fahrenhele.
French troops in Algiers must frequent
ly march and moneuver at heat OF l22
degrees above zero. A French profes-
sor has, during stay in the Sahara
with a tribe of Tauregs, observed a heat
Of 163 degrees. Attendants In Turkish
bath establishments work ten hours
day in rooms where the air is artif1cially
heated to 1855. ITS and even to 1876 de-
grees Fahrenheit. A scientific gentle
man in Paris not long ago spent fifteen
minutes in a hot air room Of the Paris
hamman, in which the dry air had been
heated by his order until the thermome-
ter registered 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Issuing from this room he plunged I'M
mediat tely into g bath filled with water
of about So degrees, difference OF al
most 2C0 degrees Fahrenheit. which his
body passed through in less than min
ute.
On the other hand, man will stand
greater cold than other mammals For
instance, during the journey of Prince
Henry of Orleans through the central
Asiatic highlands the party had fire.
Cuently to withstand a temperature or
40 degrees below zero. The quicksilver
in the thermometers had frozen solidly
at this temperature. and even the alco-
hol thermometers became thick. Horses
and camels died from exposure, while
none Of the men in the party suffered In
the least.
In North America intense cold is FREE
quent. A captain Burn once measured
at Fort Reliance temperature CT 40
degrees below zero. while Captain Dow
rou at Fort Rae saw the Thermometer
down to IS below zero in the month OF
April The lowest temperature known,
however has occurred in Siberia, where
temperature of so degrees below zero
is not uncommon, while. at WerchoJansk
a temperature OF SO degrees below zero
has been observed. It appears. there
fore, that men can stand cold OF 30
degrees below zero, while heat OF 100
and even $50 degrees Fahrenheit ap-
pears to be the extreme limit in the op-
posite direction. No animal Is known
which is able to- resist such changes OF
