FRENCH JACK THE RIPPER.
A Shepherd Under Arrest Has Con-
fessed to Eight Murders.

Lyons, France, Oct. IA shepherd
named vacher has been arrested at Bel
ley, Department of Ain, A miles from
this city, charged with committing a
series of so-called "Jack the Ripper"
murders. He confessed to killing three
shepherds, three girls, and two old
women.
Vaoher, the authorities say, was former
ly confined in an asylum for the insane.
The series of murders attributed to him
commenced in 1894, and appear to have
been actuated by purely bloodthirsty
instincts, as the victims we're all poor peo-
pie. They were terribly mutilated after
their throats had been cut, and all the
women were criminally ansaulted.

QUEER LAKE SAuAWIk.
It's Waters Grow Warm in Winter and
Men Can Eisl There with Clubs.

The rich placers of the Klondike are
not the only curiosity Of the country
traverscd by the Yukon. Not far from
Dawson there is in Alaska a really ex-
traordinary lake which was named
Salawik by its discoverer, Rev. P. Tosi,
q missionary among the savages.
This lake which is 90 miles long, and
about 15 miles wide, is perhaps the only
one in al that extreme northern region
which docs not freeze over during the
winter. No communication has been
discovered between it and the sea,
nevertheless, at high water upon the
coasts of the northern ocean, the level
of the lake rises, and it falls again at low
tide
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point Of making Salawik
salt lake; on the contrary, its waters
are good to drink. But another of its
peculiarities is that its temperature
rises in winter and falls in summer.
When all the water courses Of the neigh
boring country are completely frozen
over, Lake Salawik becomes so warm
that it is really pleasant to bathe in it.
On the other hand, in the summer time
the water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes it in the win
ter time Mecca for fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is so great
that q person can almost catch them
with the hand, and can kill large guam
titles with club. Here for the miners
is source of food supply which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the win
ter, in that inhospitablc region. In an
hour a man can get enough fish to sup
ply himself for month, and of the very
best quality. including salmon, ranging
from 20 to so pounds in weight.
It viii not be astonishing if some fine
day we may see upon the shores Of
Lake Salawik one of those fashionable
hotels which are the glory of American
watering places.-Republique, of Lew
iston, Me.

COn.9 AS FUEL.
Reasons Why 1t Would Not Be Alto
gcther Practicable.

EctHer fract1caDle.
In a general way it has been recog-
nized that when corn is abundant and
cheap, and coal is expensive. the former
makes 4 cheaper fuel than the latter, al
though no scientific determination Of
their relative efficiency has ever been
made, so far as the author is aware.
During the past winter, however, q
number Of inquiries were received by
the department of agriculture of the
University of Nebraska, asking for in
formation about the efficiency of corn
as fuel, and the author undertook the
investigation of this subject.
From the experience of the author in
conducting boiler tests of corn, it is
doubtful whether it would be prac-
ticable fuel for the generation of pow
er, unless it We're burned in some spe-
cial furnace that would insure the per-
| feet combustion of the volatile matter
| which forms SO large a percentage of
th,. whole corn, since the fire burns rap
idly and must be frequently fired, max
ing the. work of the fremen very ard
uous, and at the same time tending to
cause incomplete combustion through
| the fire door.
Undoubtedly, corn may at times be a
cheap and economical fuel for domestic
| use. 1t is cleaner and more, easily
handled than coal, and contains but a
very small amount of ash. 1t burns
rapidly with an intense heat, which
is apt to be destructive to the east iron
lirings of the stove. Here, again. some
special form of fire box, that will not
be injured by the heat. ard that will
utilize as much of the heat as possible,
should be used. If the rate of combus-
ton be too great, much of the heat will
pass up thechimney.-Prof. r. Richards,
in Cossier's Magazine.

RUNkO MANS LATEST GAME
\ New Trick That He IL Working ON
Conductors.

n Ne" 1r1Ck 1hQt HC IN "OEAAnB On
Conductors.
To an honest man it would appear
that the field of bunko had been pretty
well worked out; but every little while
some ingenious and crooked gentleman
contrives new method OF making 9TH
er persons pay for his ingenuity. Just
at present the street railway men are
looking for the deviser and operator
of very slick game of which the car
conduct o-s are made victims. The
requisite for this game is six dollars
Ca fivc-dollar bill and a one-dollar) , and
its working does not require great
nerve, as the bunkoer, if caught, can
always declare that it was a mistake,
and toprove the contrary with legal GER
tainty would be almost impossible.
The crook gets on the car and tenders
the conductor a five-dollar bill. Now,
no conductor wants to give up all his
change and leave himself short, and
no conductor will take five-dollar bill
if there is any way of getting out of
it. Therefore he looks at the crooks
bill and says:
SIS that the smallest you've got"
II think it is" says the crook. wait
a minute and III see"
Crumpling the bill up in his hand
the game is usually played with crisp
new bills, as they crumple more OBJ
viously-he goes through his pockets
in search of change. Not wanting to
find any, he doesn't find any.
Sorry, but that's all I've got" he
says.
Thcreupon the conductor, with in
ward wrath, seizes the cruEplcd bill,
jams itinto his pocket and gives change.
Not the original crumpled bill, how
ever, for during the search for change
he has contrived to substitute new
ouc-dollar bill, equally crumpled, for
the five dollars, and the conductor in
nine cases out of ten doesn't think to
unroll and examine the bill which he
has just seen to be five dollars. At the
end of the days work he discovers that
he is five dollars out. Should he dis
cern the substitute, the crook simply
says:
"Why, that's queer! Thought it was
five that I had all the time"
And what can the conductor do?-
