"B0GIE MAN" IS DEAD.
Chicago Resident Stricken By Pc
culiar Disease.

Cul1ar disease.
Chicago, Feb. George Rogers, who
was known in the vicinity in which he
lived as the "bogie man." died today
in the county hospital of a rare disease
which the physicians have called ac-
romegaly. swelling of the bones. His
hands and feet were greatly swollen
and his jaw was over four times the
normal length. The distance from the
frontal bone to the chin in the ordinary
man is eight to ten inches and in ROg-
ers this had grown to twenty inches.
Although a refined and educated man,
he was so sensitive over his appear
ance that he withdrew from his friends
and family and lived in a barn in an
obscure part of the city. He was taken
from the barn to the hospital in dy-
ing condition and after his death his
brother-in-law, at Rogers request,
caused his body TO be cremated, in or
der that the doctors might not hold a
post mortem examination.

A Hairy Tree,

j. w. Roach, who has been down in
Madison county, has made discovery
that is Il revelation to us, says the
Gainesville GaD Advance. He brings
with him fine specimen of hair that
appears to be as fine rs human hair
and very strong. 1t is as black as jet
and as straight as n line. 1t grows on
black jack trees and very luxuriant1y.
1t was found on the land of DR.. G. w.
Wcstbrooks. near Ila, and it promises
much for utility. 1t can be used for
weaving into cloth, stuiting collars,
buggy cushions and various other pur-
poses for which strong hair is used. 1t
seems that in its discovery DR.. West
brooks has become the owner of Il very
fine piece of property; and when it is
fully developed its uses will be many.
We will watch with much interest the
result of this discovery.

Ants Not So Smart After All.

Professor Bethc of Strasburg doesn't
believe the ant is so intelligent rs he
seems. He clcansed the ants taken
from one hill in solution of alcohol.
dipped them in Il dccoction made of
ants from another hill, and placed
them In the strange hill They were
not attacked rs strangers, even when
of different color and conformation.
On the other hand, ants treated in this
manner when put back in their own
hills were not recognized by their
tribe but at once attacked and killed.
Professor Bcthc infers from this that
ants must give out some liquid whose
odor guides them. and that each colony
must have it's own peculiar smell.
