Moro Rcast Than Man.

jamestown, Ind.-The city marshal
received telephone message satur-
day morning that a wild man was ter
rorizing the women in the east part Of
town. A posse started after him, but
at the approach of the marshal's party
the man took to the woods. He was
captured after a chase of over two
miles. He is terrible sight, being
more beast than human, and barely
mile to talk. He can give no account
of himself, but sits crouched in a cor
ner of the jail like q wild beast at bay

Old Irish War Cries.

Like the modern cowboy yell Of the
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
the war cries and slogans of the an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
in inspiring fear in the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the COM
mand. The simplest and most fire.
ouent Of old Erin's war cries was
"Faire, falre," slgnifying watch" or
"lcok out" It was precautionary sig
nal and was commonly written Ear
rah." From 1t the modern "hurrah"
Is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry was "a buaidh," which
meant Ito the victory" 1t was pro-
nounced "aboo," and followed the
name Of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like "O'Neill aboo,
or Clam Conail aboo." Frequent!
"a buaidh" is construed incorrectly il
| modern English to mean forever.
That translation applies to go brath,
hut not "a buaidh." The famous Iris
cry Of Flag en- bealach," meanin
clear the way" scared the spunk GU
CT the French soldiery in the PENN
| sular war.

STATUES OF SNOW.
Produced by o Combination Of Copp

Produced by o Combination of Copper
Pipes and tiqueaed Carbonio Acid.
A Paris sculptor, with an apprecia-
ton for and the power to satisfy the
demand of the minute, has hit upon
the novel scheme q turning out "snow
statues" for such Of his patrons as lean
to the unique in art, says the New York
Herald. Statues of any required shape
are made and add greatly to the ap-
pearance OF drawing rooms In the
French capital. To all intents and
purposes these statues are carved out
Of the compactly welded fleece. AS a
matter of fact, they are only coated
with snow, the under part being made
I'd of copper pipes, thin and light.
The discovery, which has resulted
in o. mass or orders reaching the sculp-
tor and a consequent substantial in,
crease in his reYenues-for he charges
"topstory" prices for his products
came In the nature Of an accident. Il
was while the artist was being shown
the method of ice making by machin
cry that the plan presented Itself II
him. The liQuefied gases, he noticed
in their trip through the copper pipe
produced on the outside an appearance
Enthusiastically that Of snow. This hat
been caused by the deposition OF tn
water vapor Of the atmosphere on tn
metal and the freezing Of it by tn
action Of the acid.
This system, reasoned the sculptor
might be applied to statuary. And h
epplied it. A statue Of thin copper wa
quickly constructed and box OF lique
fed carbonic acid placed in the bas'
When this gas evaporated the effect {
freezing was produced, the moisture
the air was attracted to the coppt
j sides and quickly frozen into II
; semblance Of snow. Many beautlf'
designs have been turned out IN pu
suancc of this principle, and the scull
tor is said to be reaping golden r
ward for his snow discovery.
