WEST ACCUSES ADAMS.

II is claimed that the robbery was

Wonders of Eleotroid.

Francis RychDowski mechanical
engineer OF Lemburg. Austria. has dis
covered strange and very subtle mat
/ ter, which he has called "electroid." be-
cause OF certain affinity with electric
iity. Electroid, produced by a special
apparatus built by the inventor, is OBJ
tained by the dissolution OF certaiu
matters under the Influence of the elec-
tric current. 1t makes noise and at the
same time refreshing scent and cool
breeze are experienced. says the Lon
don Sketch.
This discovery induced Mr.. Rychnow-
ski to make machine capable OF re-
freshng the air To such a degree that
those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case.
Electroid is a very subtle matter. but
IT, seems To be "a fluid, and II can be
gathered and. preserved, while falling
on plate 1t reflects in a shape Of shin
ing sheaves.
The commission appointed by the
Austrian government TO investigate this
discovery ree)rted that, under the in.
fiuence of electroid. plants grow rapid
ly and the buds of flowers unclose
while one is looking at them. Eiectroid
annihilates microbes and thus pre-
serves organic matter. These are ply
siological influences of electroid
Among mechanical phenomena the
commission reported tat the influence
of electroid is not stopped even by
brick wall and glass; that 1t attracts
solid bodies and makes them shine like
moonlight--it makes them move and
attract other bodies: finally. that q
acts on Photographic plates and pro-
duces sharp and distinct lines, such as
powerful lens. Ft n.

A Friend of Americans.

Dispatches from the Philippines since

dos followers have frequently men,
toned the name of Horace l.. Higgins,
and always IN connection with some act
of friendship toward the American
forces or individual Americans who
have got into trouble. Mr. Higgins Is
respected and even loved by the ma
tives and he has saved the lives of sew
eral Americans. The story OF how he
rescued an American photograph "a

CISCO ChFOnlCIe. Mt. HIggins, Who hapI

whom he had never seen before, WAS
personal friend of his and a guest at
his house. with the result that the Am
erican was allowed to go. Even at the
present time Mr.. Higgins has under his
roof two AMERICAN civilians who have
sought safety there because OF the
threats OF the Filipinos, according To
dispatches.
Mr.. Higgins is the Snowman of the
pnilppmes. He, more tnan any other
man. has been instrumental I'm exploit
ing the wealth and agricultural possi-
bilities OF LuZon. He is director
eral OF the only railroad in the Island.
From its inception twelve years ago he
has contributed his experience and rare
understanding of native character to-
ward the establishment of commercial
relations with the Filipinos. Nearly
every week during that period Mr.. Hig-
gins has made at least one trip into
the interior. and by friendly intercourse
has been able to assist the natives to
better understanding OF foreign char
acter and methods of doing business
The F'ilpinos have unlimited conf
