Clairvoyance

A minneapolis tribune re-
porter recently met an old man
from the rural districts looking
about town for a clairvoyat.
Somebody had stolen his har-
ness and he wanted to know
who the miscreant was. He
gave as resons for his faith
that many years ago he had
lost wad of money and went
to clairvoyant to find out
who had stolen it. The clara
Ivoyant told the farmer to go
home look in the pocket of an
old vest he had used one rainy
day and he would find it. He
then recollected about wearing
an old vest one rainy day to
keep better one dry. In the
old vest pockets the money was
found. A greater mystery yet
is the sequal to the recentLake
Harriet drowning tragedy, and
here is the way the Tribune
reporter tells it:
"For an example, take the
part an unknown clairvoyant
in tho recovery of the bodies of
Miss Ida Olson and Sigurd
Rudd, last Thursday afternoon
in Lake Harriet. The woman
told not only where the bodies
could be found, but also desig :
mated what lay in the bottom
of the lake near them.
What supernatural powers
did she posses? What gift was
it she had which is not bestow-
ed upon every one, that enabled
her to see what lay in the bot
tom of the lake, under 10 or 12
fathoms of water, impenetrable
to the naked eye?
!: The day the bodies were re-
covered she rode out to the
lake, and taking a seat in the
|car house atthe terminus of the
road, sent for Lieut.. Getchell
who had charge of the work of
searching. She told him where
the bodies could be found. She
designated almost the exact
spot. She told the officers tha
about 200 feet from the corner
of the pavilion in a certain
.drection-at the time designat-
ed by herself-he would find an
anchor with a long chain at
tached to it. Near it were to
be found several planks so
Water-soaked that they had
sunk to the mud in the bottom
and just beyond, she continued,
would be found the bodies of
Miss Olson and Sigurd Rudd.
At that time the police were
dragging in that vicinity. Later
in the day the anchor and
chain were found and about 5
o'clock after two weeks, system
attic draggit &, the bodies of
the unfortunate couple were
securely caught by the hooks
and brought to the surface
Of the water and towed ashore.
! The bodies were found just
were the clairvoyant said they
lay.

ANIMALS CHANGE COLOR.

Bono Of the RensOns For 1t and SoinefH
ths Mysteries OF It.
Observation and experiment go:ts
show how large an influence foo'
has in determining the color oi
animals. Everybody knows how
easily the color Of the yellow
canary may be altered to an or.
ange red by mixing cayenne pep:
per with it's food, though it is true
that the color change may be pro.
duced only in very young birds
whose feathers are not completely
matured. It is also a matter of ex-
pertinent that all varieties Of cana.
ries are not equally susceptible tc
the influence of the pepper, and j
is a very curious fact that, if th.
+ pigment that causes the IL va color q
the pepper be mixed with the food
Of the birds, without theother con.
stituents, yellow colored eanaries
are not III the slightest degree affect
ed by it, while brown birdyor the
brown feathers Of yellow birds be-
come distinctly lighter in hue.
Here is another interesting expert
ment: The large tortoise she'll but.
terAy normally feods upon the leaves
of the elm, While the small tortoise
shell is addicted to nettles, but
when some imagoes of the large
tortoise shell were bred from cater
pillars that have been found upon
nettles, they showed a wonderful
similarity to the smaller species,
though The color was nearer to that
of the larger. Quite in the same
line ia the observation that the thorn
moth exhibits variations il color
according us the larva is fed upon
oak, hawthorn, lime or lilac. Many
other experiments have shown a
similar effect of food in modifying
or completely changing the color OF
animals.
Among the changes Of color that
are most pe1plexing, il one would
refer their cause to utility only, is
that of the gull, which is blue and
white, and is therefore generally
allowed to be of protective value.
But Of the first three years Of their
lives several common species of gull
have a bIownish speckled plumage,
which is totally unlike that of the
older birds, on which fact Mr.. Bed
dard remarks, "If one color: be ad.
vantageous, the other must be the
reverse, and three years ia either q
considerable period or it is not long
enough"
Another perplexing part Of the
subject is the color Of deep sea ami.
mails. It is an established fact that
marine animals can and do live al
the enormous depth Of more than
hve miles below the surface of the
water. It is also certain that the
sunlight does not penetrate to that
depth, 30 that the animals that ex
lat there exist in more than mid.
night darkness. Yet the fact is that
brilliant colorations are generally
found in them. OF what use can II
bef How can natural selection Of
sexual selection have anything tc
do with iti It is true, indeed, that
there may be phospho horescent light
emitted by the animals themselves
and Of this there are many evidences
but though the deep sea dsh may
be guided to it's prey by series o.
natural 'bullseye" lanterns, thu
color Of its prey could have no pro
tective effect, but exactly the re-
vsrse. Our Animal Friends.

ANSWER WILL BE mo"
Fall River Mills Will Undoubtedly Refuse De-
mand for an Increase.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 1.-The rec
concentration of the special committee
appointed by the Manufacturers Asso-
citation to confer with the Textile
Council it was stated authoritativeIy.
late this afternoon. will be that the re-
quest of the operatives for an increase
Of 10 per cent. to take effect, Monday,
Nov. -, be disallowed. No member of
this special committee, however, would
state that this was the only recon-
mendation OF the committee.
That is. it cannot be learned whether
this recommen ton is tempered by a
clause urging that the increase be
granted at later day, providing that
the manufacturers believe the condi-
ton Of the market warrants 1t, or
whether The committee leaves an ave
nue. for compromise open to mill men.
This statement is In line with the re-
port issued to the public. late yester-
day. by the conference committee.
The manufacturers committee Will
make its report to the parent body at
special meeting called for Friday af-
ternoon at 230 and the decision Of
that body will decide the attitude Of
labor in the near future.
Judging from the attitude OF Inc
labor leaders, this evening, it is almost
certain that they will recommend their
organizations to oppose a refusal Of
the request made by them to the mill
men. Monday. They have not, how
ever. yet given up hope that the manu-
facturers will accede to their demand, /
but they are not basing their hope on
the recommendations which the man !
ufacturers' conference committee may
make.
Their belief il based on the grounds |
that the present financial condition of
the mills warrant the increase and !
they claim that their statement made |
90 the manufacturers in conference
that the mills have earned an average |
II l!ls per cent N thc past year was
allowed 70 ~ unchaIIpDgcd. They |
think that the liberal element IN the
meeting viii favor their contention.
