Telephone 1896 il,

Richard Munroe, a man 6fty-one years
of age, who has already served two terms
i'll prison for manufacturing and passing
counterfeit money, has again been ar
rested by Detectives Howard and Law
renee While passing bogus quarters and
half dollars about town. When searched
five counterfeit half dollars and two quar-
tiers We're found on bis person. Yesterday
the detectives located Munroe's room and
found in it a complete counterfeiter's out
fit.
Munroe had heen rooming at 422 Hen
nepin avenue and for the past two
months says he has been engaged in the
manufacture of spurious coin. In the
room the police found four sets of ex
cellent moulds, with electric battery, ac-
ids, files. metal and, in fact, a Very COM
plete outfit. Munroe manufactured an,
excellent counterfeit quarter and half dol
lar, which to the inexperienced eye would
readily pass examination, except for the
fact that it was a little light. He passed
the money at small stores, making trifiing
purchases and receiving the change. The
police took the outfit to the central police
station and 1t was subsequently turned
over to federal officers.
Munroe was sent up for two years for
counterfeiting from st. Paul, and then
received a flve-year sentence for the same
Offense from this city. He completed the
latter term last fall. When questioned
he admitted his guilt, and said that he
only manufactured enough coin to live
on. He will be taken to St. Paul today
and arraigned before the United States
commissioner. Munroe probably passed
from 81 to 81 a day during the past two
months in Minneapolis and st. Faul.

A very curious fruit has been discovered

botany at Paris. 1t appears TO be
species of bean, resembling cigar, both
in form and color, though only about an
inch in length. But 1t has a peculiar
characteristic which renders it very
unique and interesting object and this is
the exceedingly energetic manner in
which 1t scatters it's seeds. If one of
these little fruits be thrown into a basin
of water 1t will rest quietly on the sur
face for from two to five minutes, then it
will explode with violence, hurting most
Of Its contents into the air with noise
and splash for all the world like a small

that this phenomenon is caused by the
pressure of the elastic substance of its
interior overcoming the resistance of its

If plucked before maturity and allowed
to ripen in a warm spot, it opens gradu-

PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Which Drew a Large Crowd and

Killed a Sparrow.
Chicago Democrat
Late last night while hundreds who had
attended the downtown theaters were
awaiting for street cars in the vicinity
of the city hall a series of sharp reports
rang out, startling every one for blocks
around.
Bang! Bang! The reports followed one
another in quick succession, and they
continued a full minute. 1t sounded as
though an entire company of soldiers
were firing. A dozen or more policemen
came running from every direction. Evil

fatally wounded
No one seemed to know exactly where
the reports came from, but a large crowd
finally gathered in front of a saloon on
Washington street. The policemen hur-
ried to the scene, but were unable to dis
cover trouble of any kind among those
assembled. They were at sea as to the
cause of the racket
Presently the bartender, who had heard
the reports distinctly and had been lay
ing low as result, ventured TO the door
and Immediately noticed that his electric
revolving sign, which operates over the
door, was dark. The crowd watched him
as he climbed up to the cylinder in which
the illuminated advertisement swings
After careful inspection the bartender
reached his hand inside and pulled out

1t was then explained that the little bird
had flown in among the bright lights, and
so disarranged the machinery that eacn

The crowd was satisfied that murder
had not been committed and went home

WEIGHT OF BRAINS.
Now Claimed That 1t Is No Indica-
ton of Intellect.

Medical Record
DR.. Joseph Simms, in the Popular
Science Monthly, points that many inves-
tigators have observed that men with
the largest brains are not necessarily
those possessing most brain power, talent
or intellect. Many persons with brains
of unusual size have never risen beyond
mediocrity, while on the other hand
some of those men who have risen to
great eminence by reason of their power
full intellectual development have had
brains smaller than the average. Es-
qurol asserted that no size or form of
head or brain is incident to idiocy or to
superior talent, and with this statement
of opinion the author agrees. DR.. Simms
some years ago announced that he had
made the discovery that the natives of
cold climes had larger brains than those
dwelling in tropical regions, and sup
ports this contention with numerous
statistics.
In one table are arranged the names
of sixty renowned men drawn from diff
ferent parts of the earth whose brains
varied in weight from seventy-one to for
ty ounces. In the next table 1t is shown
that the brain capacity, in cubic inches,
OF individuals of various races ranged
from 100 and 102 for Swedes and Lapps
to so and rs for Egyptians and Bengalese.
According to other tables the fact is
demonstrated that brains are smallest In
hottest countries, while to Scotland is
conceded the honor of reaching the high
est average in the matter of cranial ca
pacity. Yet another table is given con-
tanning the brain weights of lbs persons
of ordinary or weak minds, idiots and
criminals, whose brains were on the
whole larger than those of the sixty be-
fore mentioned eminent men.

various aizes were dropped on tho stage
from height Of four or five feet. The
noise made by their striking the boards
seemed to be magniiied somewhat. A
ten-penny nail made a distinct clatter: a
three-penny nail was quite loud. When
the janitor stopped his knees cracked and
the noise was very apparent. Then a sill

was heard very distinctly The noise of
a soft felt hat striking the floor was loud

some one asked that pin be dropped. 1t
was thought impossible that 1t could be

he raised his hand. The next moment the
sound Of the pin striking the floor was
distinctly heard. Some one suggested
that the janitor drop a hair, but he said
that he had none TIC spare.
Every one went to the roof garden and
the experiments were repeated. The dis

the pin could be heard striking the stage
