LAUGHED AT BY A GHOST.
Ohio Men Have a Hair-Raising
Experience at a Graveyard.
A GoOd-Natured Specter Salutes Be-
lated Wayfarers and Then Dis
appears in the Ground
Near a Grave.

Robert Maynard, who lives about a
mile from Bucyrus, o., is sure he has
seen a ghost. Mr.. Maynard, in his
walks home, passes a cemetery. Satur-
day night Mr.. Maynard was detained
in Bucyrus until after ten o'clock, and
started home alone, whistling as he
went. When he reached the cemetery
NE was greeted by shrill whistle and
the salutation: Hello, Bob" Mr.. May
nard stopped short and looked around,
saying: whats that?" and was again
accosted with: How do, Bob"
He failed to see anyone, but was
nettled by the remark: 'Peek-aboo,
1 see you," in peculiar cultural ac-
cent, and later the sound came from
apparently a different direction. Mr..
Maynard quickened his pace as he heard
a rustic close at hand, with a sudden
draught of cold air. 4 second later he
broke into run, but the voice followed
him with: "Good-by, Bob; darn you,
Bob. Just tell them that you saw me
ha, ha, hal" Mr.. Maynard had sus-
picion that he had been made the victim
of hoax, so he kept the matter to him.
self, but took occasion on returning
from church next evening to be in
company with a neighbor. They had
reached the cemetery and were engaged
in conversation, when they were par
alyzed by the exclamation: "Ah,
there!" followed Immediately by "Hel-
10, Bob" Mr.. Maynards neighbor did
not stop to argue the matter, but
broke into a run and was closely fol-
lowed by Maynard. They called sew
eral neighbors, and, armed with clubs,
went back to the graveyard, where
they beat around in an endeavor to find
the cause of the disturbances, but their
search was fruitlcss, and they gave up
and started home. The last man of
the band was climbing the fence into
the road when a voice close to him said:
'Good-by, Bob-ha, ha, hal" The man
on the fence promptly fell off with
a crash and his companions broke into
a run. Some of them stopped long
enough to see white specter disap-
pear in the ground near q lonely and
neglected grave which was known as
the last resting place of suicide of
years ago. y white light rested for
an instant over the spot, and then slow
" fliclSered out.

Pertaining flowers artifcially is one
of the latest fads in Paris. Experiment,
according to an exchange, has proved
that it is possible not only to take away
the natural odor of flower, but also
to make it yield perfume derived
from some other vegetable product
Some violets, for example, are perfect
in form and coloring, but without
fragrance, while others, while very in
significant to look at, emit delicious
fragrance. The transfer of the odor
from one species to the other has been
accomplished. Those who have been
most successful in this branch of horti-
culture refuse to tell their secret.

Damage from Frost.

Fruit Commissioner II. Z. Bosch, OF
Oregon, has found that a severe cold
snap that came upon the Willamette
valley last November, before the sap
had returned to the roots of the trees,
damaged great numbers of the roots
in a curious way, freezing them on one
side only. On that side now the bark
is black and dead. Many trees were
killed. In Washington county 100000
prune trees were killed by the same
frost.

Museum of Natural History, and DR..
Livingston Farrand, of Columbia uni
versity, have left New York city for the
northwest, where they will make a
study of the ethnology of the Indians
of the North Pacific slope, in British
Columbia. Harland A. Smith, who is
to work with them, left few days ago.
The three scientists intend to complete
a systematic study of North American
Indians and other peoples of northwest
ern Asia with view to tracing the
historical connection that has long been
one of the theories of the origin of the
American Indians.
Expeditions will go out every sum-
mer, under the auspices of the Mu-
scum of Natural History for six years.
Next years work will be among the
Coreans and the peoples of northwest
ern Asia. Morris X. Jessup, president
of the museum, has provided the funds
with which the expedition will be
equipped.

One Way to Cure Green Reporters.

One Way to Cure Green Reporters.
The Albany Journal tells a story of
two green reporters, Englishmen, who
were sent by the city editor of certain
newspaper to a suburban town to write
up the burning of an orphan asylum.
Late that night when the news editor
was wondering why no copy" about
the fire was coming by wire, a telegraph
messenger rushed in and handed him a
dispatch. He opened it and read:
Dear sir-We are here. What shall
we dO?"
1t was signed with the names of the
two men sent to write up" the fire.
The news editor made few remarks,
which, while they were appropriate to
the occasion, would not look well in
print; then he wrote on a telegraph
blank this brief message:
"Find out where the fire is hottest,
and jump in"

SUBSTITUTE FOR SWING BRIDGE
Curious Engineering Structure at
the Mouth of the River Nerv1On.

Curious Engineering Structure at
the Mouth of the River NerviOn.
At the mouth of the river Neryion,
which flows into the Bay of Biscay be-
tween Portugalete and Las Arenas, a
curious engineering structure has been
erected within the last few years to
transport passengers, cattle and We
hicles without interfering with the
river traffic. 1t consists, says the Man.
chester Guardian, of couple Of towers
200 feet high, one on each bank; from
these a bridge is suspended by chains
at height sufficient to clear the masts
of vessels-that is, nearly $50 feet above
the water level of the spring tides.
This bridge carries a line of rails on
which trolley is pulled to and fro
by an engine on the Las Arenas or
northern side. With it goes a car, hung
by steel cables, in which the passengers
take their seats. This is not wound up
to the top, but stays at the level of
the quays. Thus the transit is effected
quickly and regularly, without the de-
lay inseparable from a swing bridge.
A similar 'pont transbordeur" is to be
set up over the Seine near Rouen by
a French company. In general APP
pearance it will resemble the Span
ish one, and if equally successful will
probably lead to the application of the
principle elsewhere. 1t seems odd that
for such a simple and useful device
engineers should have to go to Spain.

SOCIETY ADOPTS SEDAN CHAIRS
New York swells Import n Travelling
Fad From London.

thu LOhuoh.
While New York is trying to accus-
tom itself TO the novelty of the horse
less carriage, there has been imported
from London a demand for the sedan
chair as vehicle of fashionable travel.
One firm is busy in the manufacture of
these relics, which of recent years have
proved useful only as ornaments or
on the stage.
The new chairs are not to be deco
rated, as the old, with paintings or
gilded holdings, but the colors popular
for the decoration of ordinary vehicles
will be used. They will be painted
black, dark green, blue or maroon, with
light yellow, green and red for trim
mings. The chairs will be very light,
and the promoters of the scheme are
said to expect their profit from the use
of the vehicles for evening parties, din
ners or other gatherings, where the dis
lance to be travelled is not great.
Other passengers will not be carried,
and the interior of the chairs will in
this way be kept perfectly clean, and
wraps and dresses of light color are not
likely to be soiled.
