A TELEGRAPH RAT.
Pretty TAN story OF n BuRaIO Rodent
Fascinated BY the Tick OF
the s0uuder.

There is an East Side rat which ought
to be sent to a scientific school Itused
70 be an ordinary gutter rat and was
not by any means a dainty creature
when il took to police station life. But
no sooner had II taken up its quarters
in Seneca street police station than it
sEcked up and began to learn telegra-
ply. Kinney, desk sergeant, was not
pleased when he first noticed the rat
was fascinated by the tick OF the in
struments and was about to fling a shoe
at It when he saw 1t stealing up toward
him.
Then he noticed that it would never
come out from the wall unless the tick
ing was going on, and it would dive into
its hole like a shot If the instrument
happened to stop for moment. When
all was quiet behind the desk the rat
seldom showed himself, but let there
be a lot Of business to send OF and 1t
would be certain TO stick its head out Of
some hole in the wall. It seemed to be
fascinated as some animals are by fire
or man by a snake.
One night the sergeant had been out
Of the room and, hearing the instru-
u4c4E DcBAM 70 IdLl4Cs ne IELuLuGQ u
take care Of 1t. There he found this
rat standing close up to 1t in a sort Of
daze, Just as though It was listening to
the most ravishing music. 1t would
scarcely move a muscle, and appeared
to be entirely on its guard, and might
have been captured by a person or a
dog without knowing anything about
| it till the charm was broken
The sergeant stood still till the in
stTument stopped and then he saw the
rat put its paws on the key and try to
| set 1t going again He declares that 1t
managed to send a call to one Of the
/ other stations so nearly correct that the
| operator there answered it. twas still
| jumping up and down on the key when
the precinct captain came in and
frightened 1t away. Since that time a
| chance has not been given to 1t TO 60 on
with its examination Of the instrument,
but no sooner does 1t begin to tick than
the rat can be seen somewhere about
the room listening and coming as near
the desk as 1t dares.-Buffalo Express

The discovery Of a new disease, the
"siIk petticOat wrist" by a London
doctor, affecting women who invari-
ably hold up their skirts when on the
street, viii certainly have little effect
in diseouraging the practice, at least
among young ladies who knowingly
possess neatly turned ankles, and are
fortunate enough to own a silk petit
coat. The silk petticoat wrist affects
only young women, and its symptoms
is stiffness or cramp in the affected
part. OF course it is caused by the
habit which young women have Of hold
ing up the skirts Of their dresses, and
as, by an odd coincidence, they are
usually wearing silk petticoats when
they are taken III, that garment has
become associated with the name Of
the malady.

Alcohol in the Human system.

Prof W. o. Atwater, Of Wesleyan
University, at the meeting Of the Mid
dietown Scientific Association on June
u, gave the results Of experiments
which he had recently carried outupon
/ the effects of alcohol on the human
system These experiments were con-
Quoted with the aid Of his respiration
calOrimeter. says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Sensational accounts of the ex-
periments have appeared in newspapers
from time 70 time, but Prof. Atwater in
his paper gave, for the first time, an
authentic account of certain of his ex-
periments which we're conducted under
the auspices Of q committee Of so for
the investigation of the drink problem.
The special object of the experiments
was to determine the nutritive value Of
alcohol Pure alcohol was administer
ed with water or coffee. Sometimes it
was also given in the form Of brandy
or whisky, wine or beer. The alcohol
was taken with the ordinary diet The
amount consumed was equivalent to
.21z ounces of absolute alcohol or five
or six ounces Of average commercial
liquor. It was found that the alcohol
was Oxidized as completely as bread,
meat, or other form Of food. In the
oxidation all Of the potential energy of
alcohol was transformed into heat and
muscular work, that is to say, the same
use was made Of alcohol as that Of or
binary food materials. The alcohol
protected the material Of the body
from undue consumption as effectively
as the corresponding amount Of sugar,
and starch. Alcohol, unlike the fats,
starch. and sugar, does not form tissue,
but it yields energy. To express it
popularity, it serves as fuel for the sys-
tenn Prof. Atwater was careful to ex-
plain that his experiments were simply
to get at the real facts in the case. Of
course the conclusions which he de-
duces are not to be considered as ad-
vocating the use Of alcohol AT the |
same time, It is no more than fair TO /
state that the results Of scientific ex-
periments and the latest researches +
tend to show that alcohol is not q 1
poison, but is 2 food.

Rev. Francis Leaves GoodIand-

The time Of Rev. Francis as pastor of
the Congregational church having ex-
pired, he left for Topeka Tuesday even
ing. He is offered two pastOrates, one
Of Topeka and another Of Stockton,
and when be left be had not decided
definitely which Of the two charges he
would accept. Mr. Francis came to
GOOdland six months ago, and worked
earnestly for the spiritual upbuilding
Of the church, but there soon came a
division Of the members, and since
that time the Congregational church
has lived out a miserable existence. It
is probable that no pastor will be sent
here for q time at least.
Mr.. Francis is q man Of worth,
Of superior character, Of spiritual
discernment- He has withstOOd
the intellectual blight, and fever,
Of African exceeding sacrifice for
the gospels sake; and it is to be hoped
that his work will be more appreciated
than ft was in GoOdland.

LOCATED TOO MANY RESERVOIRS

AOCALED AOO nAE1 SELkh OlEks.
The Interior Departments New ReguIa-
tfOns for Land Entries
New regulations for the control of
the entry of reservoir sites on the pub
lie lands will be issued by the interior
department. The secretary Of the in
terror has been considering the neces-
sity of additions to the regulations for
merly issued under the act of January
Ii, 1897, relating to reservoirs for live
stock The law and the regulations
issued under it have been greatly alb
used by repeated locations of those
who seek to mOnOpoIize the public
lands to the exclusion of those who
want to locate homes. In one instance
in Kansas one person located several
hundred contiguous tracts as reservoir
sites. In a limited section in one coun-
ty in Nebraska 500 locations we're
made.
The new regulations will limit the
right to these sites to those actually
engaged in breeding, grazing and hand
ling stock and then to the actual ne
cessity of each applicant. They Will
also provide that if a reservoir site is
fenced Or'if an attempt is made to use
it for any other than reservoir purposes
the right to it shall be Immediately
cancelled.

He was greeted with great OvatiOns all

but all this will come to naught as far
ed so long as Mark Hanna continues to
