time the mirror is magnetzed by placing
the hands above ii and slowly waving
them 10 and fro, so that the animal mag

the course Of period OF 400 years the civil
calendar thus gains 31l36 days. So another
balance is struck, between the true and
artificial calendars by the suppression of
the intercalary days in the years 1900. 1890
and 1900, which otherwise would be leap
years The suppression of leap year in
l9yO leaves a gap between the two calen-
dars since the adoption of the Gregorian
calendar of only about one-ninth of a day.
which is the balance on account with

differences for future adjustment. But the
addition of the intercalary day every four
years and The suppression Of that day in
the last year of every three out of four
centuries balances the years so far that
the error amounts to only one day in 1895
years.

MEN AND SEA SERPENT FIGHT.
At Length an Empty Flask Lays Low
Strange Monster of the wabash.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.
Sullivan, Ind.-Jesse Plunkett, a ferry
man on the Wabash river at Merom, cap
tured a strange animal closely resembling
a sea serpent this afternoon. Man and
serpent had a terrific struggle before the
serpent was finally stunned and pulled
ashore.
Plunkett observed large black object
about twelve feet long, with number OF
large feet or fins and big eyes and mouth
floating down the river As he rowed to-
ward It the object showed signs Of life
and uttered terrible kissing sound,
which was heard by F. b. Brawley and
a party Of fishermen, who were several
hundred yards away. When the ferryman
was within fifteen feet Of the serpent it
rose from the water with a leap and
appeared as though about to fly Plunkett
attempted to change the course of his
boat, and the serpent, evidently intending
to pass him, made straight for the fraii
skiff. AS II approached it darted a fork
shaped tongue and rose above the water
by leaps.
Frawley and the party Of fishermen wit
messed the race which followed, and at
tempted to reach Plunkett with fat
bottomed scow Plunkett rowed with
will born of desperation, and was keeping
safe distance away, when the serpent
glided into the air and in one leap COW
cred the intervening space between II ana
the boat and struck the skin SCATTERING
the stern and almost sinking 1t. Frawley
and his companions had by this time
reached the scene, and they pulled Punk
EFT, who was thoroughly terrified, into the
boat and turned their attention to the
serpent, which lay stunned in the water
After some rowing about. Frawley, as
sisted by Plunkett, fastened a line about
the serpents neck, and 1t was towed
ashore before Consciousness returned. An
other terrific struggle followed the return
to consciousness, and Plunkett was struck
by the serpent and dashed to the earth.
only by the timely action Of Frawley in
striking IL over the head with an empty
flask was the struggle ended. The SER

Prof. Fowler in the Tawen case, this very
fact would indicate that large quantity
had been taken. Arsenic was found in
various parts of the house-in the cooking
utensils, in the medicines ana medicine

chief from which her husband had sucked

The trial mainly resolved itself into a bat
tie of experts and counsel. The indivldu-
atty of the prisoner was lost. She had
become the silent spectator of a skiltul
game played out between counsel, with
her life as the stake DR. Humphreys,
DR.. Carter and Prof. Stevenson declared
that the deceased had died from arsenic
poisoning, and based their views on the
main symptoms--prncipaly on the bright
red or rosy blush OF the intestines. In
direct contradiction came two of the first
pathological authorities of the world, in
the persons of Prof. II. Z. Tidy ana Prof.
Mcnamara, to declare that the four main
characteristics of arsenic poison ug were
absent, namely ,suffusion of the eyes,
pains in the calves of the legs irritabiiry
OF eyeiids, and the Intolerance of light.
Sir James Poole, former Mayor of Liver-
pool, together with several witnesses gath
cred from both sides of the Atlantic. were
called to prove the constant use of arsenic

why Next Year VIII Not he II Leap
YeRr,

From the New York Sun
Will there be 29th Of February In the
year 1900: and II not, why not?
Stamford Conn, July 10. Sosimus.
The year 1896 was a leap year. and the
next one will be 1904 eight years later.
This Is on account of the ingenious de-
vice for maintaining, as nearly as can be,
concordance between the civil or Gregg
rian calendar and the solar or astronomi-
cal calendar. Everybody knows that the
time required for the earth to make rev
olution around the sun is the true solar
year. 1t is easy to see why men. in their
ordinary affairs, do not give the year its
exact solar time value, but employ the
civil calendar they have devised Instead
of the solar calendar. The length of the
soar year, expressed precisely, is 365 24221G
days, or a little less than 365A days. 1t
Is obvious that in the business affairs OF
life 1t would be very inconvenient TO use
a time division called a year containing
so many days and a fraction of a day.
For ordinary purposes the year must be
counted as so many days. The ordinary
year is therefore, counted at 1866 days,
which Is nearly a fourth of a day shorter
than the true year.
OF course this time difference between
the solar and the civil year must be ac-
counted for sooner or later and, when Il
is convenient so to do, the true and the ar
tihcial year must be brought into concord
ance as nearly as possible. The common
civil year is too short by .242z16 OF a day
In four years this amounts to .96SS64 Of a
day, and so both In the Julian and Gre
gorian calendars the last Of this period OF
four years Is made leap year. or In ohter
words a day is added to II, making 26j
days in this year. But not quite a day
was required TO bring the civil and solar
year into concordance. The mean civil
year, thus fixed, is a little too long, and in

Queer Things Found by the Supertn-
tendent of the Chicago Library.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Anything in sight will do for a book
mark for many Chicago readers said Su-
perintendent B. NJ Smith Of the circulat-
ing department at the city library the
other day MANY in returning the books
forget 10 keep their bookmarks AS re-
suit / have a large collection of odd
things in the bookmark line"
Mr.. Smith then opened all the drawers
and emptied all the pigeonholes Of his
roll-top desk, at the west side Of the cir
culating room, on the third floor of the
library building. Almost everything pos
sible to get between the covers Of a book,
and many things seemingly impossible,
were exhibited. And all these things
were taken from returned books" said
the library man.
There were stacks of letters business
letters of Importance, letters containing
grocery bills, gas bills, meat bills due bills,
bills of sale, mortgages and insurance poll
cies, social letters family letters and let
tiers in dainty pink and blue tinted en-
velopes-love letters. And some of them
are rich, If you only had time to glance
through them" said the bookmark man,
and then he added, apologetically, II have
to read them all to see IL they are impor-
tant enough to make 1t worth while to
look up the owners"
photographs made up a large part of
the collection. There we're large-sized
photographs and small ones, kodak snap
shots and old-fashioned pictures Of old
fashioned persons the loss of which the
library superintendent fears has been
much regretted.
Hairpins of wire and metal, and Of all
shapes and sizes, fancy combs, locks of
black light and red hair and small pieces
Of ribbon and lace were in one box. Tween
ty pairs of spectacles. most of them black
trimmed eyeglasses, filled one pigeonho.e.
There were three pairs Of scissors, a col
lection of keys on rings. keys tied togeth-
err with ribbons, keys attached to watch
chains and single keys sufficiently to
equip a gang of burglars
And all these things came from books
returned to the library" repeated Smith.
Money has dropped out OF the books, 100.
silver dollars and paper rolls, and once
we found a pair Of artificial teeth which
had been made by The owner and weighed
four ounces But that was over in The old
building, and maybe they were found in
the reading room. Anyway, the owner
missed them and called.

Rev. Il. A. Boyl, of Glare, Michigan,
occupied the pulpit of the Plymouth
Congregational church yesterday and
preached two very eloquent sermons,
His morning subject was Historic
Preparation for the coming of Christ
taking his text from the fourth chap
ter Of Galatians and the fourth verse
In the evening the Rev. Boyi spoke
from the Psalm li9, eleventh verse.
The Talisman of the Christian" He

natives regarding the talisman and
charms to keep them from evil ami
brought his theme to the present age,
when the same conuItiOn exists as ia
Gays of old.
Christianity says we have talSmans
today, but the infidels says we have
not. Sickness is an evil and one of
the greatest in the world, but it is
also a great blessing to some people.
The best thing that can happen to
some people is to bring them down
from their pinnacles of worldliness to
a bed of sickness. 1t many change
their spiritual belief. Some of the
sweetest thoughts that were ever eX-
pressed emanateu from a sick cham
ber.
sorrow is another evil and is brought
TO bear III many ways, but it is not
always an evil Property is some
times an evil, and yet the loss of It
is a blessing sometimes. Money is
crying evil. hut poverty is not always
an evil. The greatest evil of all IS sin,
and murder is an awful evil for God
hath said: He that Is angry with
his brOthC" is a murderer" II we
break one of Gods commandments we
break all of them and there are many
sO-called Christians who live a moral
lawful life and no temptation has ever
come TO them, yet it is no credit to
them.
The charm or talshman of this is the
word of Cod But it must be read,
instead Of being used as a receptacle
for the safe-kecping of precious tokens.
