A Man and . Woman with Glowing
Faess-Phosphoresceat Eyes
of Monkeys.

"A friend has just told me OF a sineu-
lar experience" said a Los Angeles
physician. "He has a considerable
practice in the mining camps of Sonora,
being employed by u large company to
attend the miners. A Mexican went to
him one day and said that there was a
man starving to death on the outskirts
OF the town. The physician went to the
place indicated, but he had some diff
Guilty in locating the man, as no one
would go with him, all, especially, the
women, being frightened at what they
called the fire man. Finally he found
the shanty in which lay a man in an ad-
vanced state OF consumption. lie was
evidently in need Of food, and quite
alone.
lis there anything curious about
me?' the man Immediately asked the
doctor. The people all shun me as
they would the evil one, and say | am
the fire man. Shut the door aud look st
me-.
THE doctor CLOSED the door and win
dows, so that the place became per
fectly dark, and then he saw that about
the mans face was a perfect aureole
OF light. His face gave out light, and
the doctor told the man SO.
"'Shall ! burn upT asked the man.
"'Oh, no. replied the doctor. 1t is
something very rare, and the people
think you are a ghost The man died
soon after.

who emitted a faint light that caused
him to be deserted by everyone. There

case the cause was electricity, as the

There are now three Canadian peer.

Lord Strathcona and Baroness Earns

Macdonald. The two peers are both
Scotsmen, who worked their way up

Lord Mount-Stephen had only "A parish

herd boy. He passed from a drapery
shop in Aberdeen TO a similar ostab-
lishment IN 81. Paul's churchyard, Lon

ferred himself to Canada, where he
made a fortune in the wooden trade.
Lord Strathcona In his eighteenth year
entered the service of the Hudson's Bay

and worked his way up to the governor
ship and the chief control of that his.

THE RATS OF CHICAGO
Five Rodents to Every One Of the
City's Population.
Poison asd Cats Are Of Little Avail
20 Ria the City Of the Rap
IDLY Muitpiying
Rodents.

When the Enelishman who recently
wrote a bird book called the sparrow
the avian rat, doubtless he had the
great numbers OF the birds in mind ms
we'll as their rodent.like habits OF life.
Yet, as a matter OF fact, the sparrows,
though in multitude they are like the
leaves on the trees before the army
worm arrived, are in reality far less
numerous in this big city than are the
great gray rats. There are in Chicago
probably about five rats for every man,
m and child within the city's con
fines.
Rats are repulsive at best. and nearly
everybody is afraid Of them. Possibly
not much cheer will be derived from
this statement that there are living in
and about the city's houses, stores and
waste places some 10000, 900 of these
cruel-toothed, sleek, sharp-eyed crea-
lures.
The rat probably has more enemies
than any other animal on earth. Its
prosecutors, animate and inanimate,
come In the form Of poison, traps, cats,
dogs. birds, ~ferrets and men. Some or
all of these agents are at work con-
stantly, and yet the city rat thrives,
wakes fat and raises a large family.
II is asserted by authorities that Chi
cago has more rats In proportion to it's
size than any other city on earth. The
conditions here are peculiarly adapted
TO the preservation Of the species.
Under the wooden sidewalks, which are
still to be found at places even in the
heart of the city, the rats have a haven
of refuge. When driven from buildings
by cats or by ferrets kept for the pur-
pose. the Chicago rat makes straight
for the nearest wooden pavement and
under 1t digs n burrow. The rat is a
trtW g~amin-sharp, cunning and, when
necessity requires IL, bold. Boldness is
the Chicago rats birthright, for in its
veins flows Viking blood. Chicago's
rat came from Norway, and it's first act
was to kill or drive out all the black rats
which were indigenous TO the Amer
lean soil.
IL anyone should wonder why it is
that despite all it's enemies the city rat
manages to increase in numbers he may
satisfy his curiosity and gain wisdom
at the same time by taking a spade and
digging out IA rat hole at almost any
time between March 1 and October /.
These months are the family rearing
times, and during this period three
broods are sent out by each old pair to
begin their predatory existence.

OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 22.-Through informa-

cerned in the holdup of the Union Pacific

Donald, who apparently knows all of the

nine men in the gang, which included the
notorious leader of the Robbers Roost gang,
Dutch Cassidy, Lyle and others. Donald
says that after the gang escaped from the
officers who had them surrounded in Wyom-

Hazen of Rawins, Wyo., they went over
the Big Horn mountains down into the
Wind River country, on down toward Sweet

SURGEONS NEEDED FOR NAVY
Increase in Medical Corps Does Not
Keep Pace with that of the
Enlisted Force.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-The strongest
recommendation in the annual report of
Surgeon General Won Reypen, Just made
public, is that relating to an increase in
the medical corps of the navy. He points
out that while there has been a steady
increase in the enlisted force of the navy
for the last two years, while the marine
corps has been swelled by the addition of
5000 men, there has been no suitable pro-
vision for a corresponding increase in the
medical corps, which is charged with the
care of the health of these men. Every
surgeon who is not sick is said to be on
duty and the department has been unable
to supply surgeons for examining recruits
and other duties.
Therefore the surgeon general recommends
that the corps be increased five surgeons
and twenty assistant surgeons and that five
volunteer surgeons who served in the war
and are now in service be transferred to
the regular rolls and the age Limitation be
removed in their cases There are eighteen
of these men. 1t is also earnestly urged
that the naval assistant surgeons be placed
on an equality with those of the army in
pay and rank At present the army can get
all the medical service 1t needs, while the
navy car get scarcely any surgeons to serve
There are now four vacancies in the rank
OF assistant surgeon and there will be
eight more during the year, and the hope
is expressed that the corps will not be
allowed to die out from lack OF recruits
which must follow unless inducements are
equal to these offered in the army at least.
The surgeon general calls attention to the
fact that OF the eighty-four casualties dur
ing the war with Spain only seventeen have
resulted in pension applications 80 far, a
most noteworthy fact in view OF the report
that eighteen OF the casualties resulted
| fatally.
! In concluding the report special attention
is invited to the excellent sanitary condi-
tions existing in the navy, and especially
in the Asatlc squadron during the last year.
/ Early precautions were taken to prevent as
! far as possible the il-effects resulting from
necessary climatic exposure and to give the
best care and attention to the sick The re-
suits in the Philippines indicate a high
