 A Great Mans Brain.

The brain of Hermann von Helm holtz, who died in 1894, has been care- fully measured, weighed and studied by Prof. Hansemann of the University of Berlin, who has recently published q report on the subject, accompanied by photographs. The brain exceeded the average in weight, but heavy brains are no longer regarded as fur nishing alone an index of mental ca pacity. Far more significant are the convolutions of the brain, and these in Helmholtz's case were remarkable, the furrows being peculiarly deep and well marked n those parts of the brain which are concerned with mental as- sociations. The frontal convolutions were so deeply furrowed that it was difficult for the investigators to follow the ordinarily recognized Assures.

Dogs Battle with e Cactus.

Otto kleemaIn, who lives on Bell mont street, recently acquired a keau- tiful cactus, which he established in his household, unmindful of the fact that his dog held the opinion that his master should have no other pets be- fore him. Now he has no cactus and the dej, tea semblance of a dog. The little animal espied the plant soon after it's arrival, and issued a challenge. In default of acceptance, he gave battle, but retired at the first shock to recon sider. The enemy lad moresteeth than battalion of bull terriers, and all of them were newly sharpened. He was no quitter, however, and with rising an- ger he renewed the attack. This time his opponent came down, landing on him heavily, and with the touch of barbwire fence. The two rolled over and over in death embrace, and the cactus was finally vanquished, torn in- to shreds and scattered about the room. But it was costly victory. The con- queror is punctared in more places than his owner can count. He may live to fight another day, but it will not be with cactus.-Oregcnian.
 A Scotch Trick.
 James Grant. formerly teacher in the south of Scotland, was sentenced recently to six months Imprisonment for a remarkable fraud. The Univer- sity of Aberdeen advertised for an ex- aminer in English literature, and the prisoner obtained the post by imper- sonating another man named James Grsnt, who had distinguished career.

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER
Tanks Are Replenished While the Loco
 motive Ts Making sneed.

On many Of the railroads centering at Chicago it is no longer necessary for train to stop to enable the engineer to rep.euish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed to seeing the narrow trough, 1.200 to HOO feet long. at various dead level points along the road and s@5
 that the strip of water wilie.- fs tains is scooped up by the englhs
 speeds over the tracks. But pee. from foreign countries often ask ql.es- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking the engine or the fly. What seems a marvellous me- chanical contrivance is an extremely simple thing. A pipe with scoop end is fastened to the tender. It IS ' shaped with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom curleo under the body of the tender. By series of levers this end may be dropped until it reaches the level CT the ties. When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop end, which is 31a inches high and lz inches wide, into the trough, into which it sinks distance of about six inches or within an inch of the bottom. It may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough IS z4 inch4s wide. Dropping the end Is all that is done, for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into the pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the uninitiated the use of powerful en- zines. "The most remarkable thing about the water-taking scoop. said railroad official, lis the fact that the speed of the train must be reduced when the water is taken on. It reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that if the train were allowed to go at it's regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, so we reduce the speed to about thirty miles all hour and have the best results" While the engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour IL takes up about 4,000 gallons of water about as much as would be contained in 100 spirit barrels

A RARE DOLLAR.
A Big Lawsuit Over It's Ownership
 S1,5o0 Offered For It.

The New York Evening Post re- ports a curiously complex situation at Racine. Wis, over the ownership of a silver dollar of the coinage date of 1904. It is said that only one of four Of tbese dollars ever left the mint, and they are consequently very valuable The dollar in question was given sey- eraI months ago by woman whose name, if known, is kept secret, to Lad islar Altmann, clerk in the dry goods store of L. T. Hartnett in payment for goods bought. The woman did not know that the doller was worth more than it's face value; in fact, she hesi- tated about using it at all for fear that 1t was not genuine The clerk, with out knowing how rare the coin was, recognized it as an odd piece and put it into his pocket, handing over to the cashier a dollar of his own. For sev- eral months thereafter he carried the 1894 dollar about as a pocket piece. One day he showed it to a friend at bank and was informed that it was worth not less than $500. In order to verify this estimate he sent it to a coin buyer in Chicago, who promptly offered $1,500 for it. The clerk still did not sell, having heard. that sim liar coin had sold for still larger sum in New York. But, though he did not sell. he talked, and the story reached the ears of MT. Hartnett, his employer. MT. Harnett promptly claimed that the dollar either belonged to the funds of the store or to the woman who had rendered it without knowing it's value He demanded that it be returned and held for the wom- an. If she could not be found he claimed that the coin belonged to him. The clerk claims that he was justified in substituting his dollar for the one paid in, and pertinently calls attention to the fact that had the coin proved a bad one he would have been held re- sponsible. Both sides have employed attorneys and a lawsuit seems in- evitable.

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
h Explained by the Recent Discovery
 In Kimberly.


 The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been 9 debated question, appears to be explained by recent discovery near Kimberly. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like a pebble i'll certain gfavelly strata, but has not zen traced back to any rock that
 ives any indication of it's genesis. Alter the discovery of diamonds in the river sand on some South African r1Y- CTS, u peculiar material of broWnlsh- buff color. which turned to a dark biuish tint, was found. It became harder as the miners dug down. The diamonds lay in this material, together with several other minerals, such as garnets. iron ores, augite, oliyine, etc. Excavations-begun unsystematically were eventually carried on on such scale that near Kimberly they have reached depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock is about as hard as ordinary limestone. The blue ground is found only in limited areas. The rocks around are of dark shales, banded with hard sandstone, in which sheets or dykes or basalt or some ma teria1 which was once in molten con- dition are occasionally found The blue ground fills sort of shaft of colossal size in these other rocks, and is itself cut up by similar dikes. The opinion of geologists differs as to whether the gems were produced where they now lie or have been formed of some older rock, which has been shat tered by volcanic explosions. 1t Is thought that the mystery has been at last cleared up. About two years ago the manager of diamond mine near Kimberly picked up a specimen in which smaller diamonds were appar- entity embedded in garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowl ders, one of wtich was broken open and was found to contain diamonds. The rock is of the description known to mineralogists as "eclogite. It is apparently composed almost exclusive ly of red garnet rock and rather peculiar light green augite. The rock Is eoarsely crystalline, and in all prob ability was once like garnet in mott en condition, the diamond being one of it's original constituents. Experts now tend to the belief that the s'blue ground" in which diamonds were found is not their true birthplace. The powders are often watermarked, and may have rested for ages in an an- eient gravel at the very bottom of sedi- mentary rocks of the district. In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were embedded, of which the powders were only samples. and dis persed it, togethss with the overlying materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-bearing "blue ground" Boston Herald.

Heir to g5OO,OOo.

Robert E. M Cooper, formerly a prominent newspaper man and politi- clan, has fallen heir to $5o0,0o0 The estate was left to Cooper by John c. Crego. miser hermit, who recently died at Cripple Creek. Years ago Crego lived in the Panhandle country of Texas. Cooper made a tour of that region. Crego was not inclined to make acquaintances, but Cooper found him about to drown in a river and rlsked his own life to save the miser. That resulted in friendship. Cooper returned to Springfield, Mo-, and be- came prominent. He kept up a cor respondenee with Crego for some years but they finally lost track of each other. Crego left Texas and was a pioneer prospector at Cripple Creek. He cleaned up S500,O0o and quit. There after he lived in absolute seclusion. So far as he knew Cooper was still in Springfield, and few days bafore he died he sent for Justice Maotin, and a will was drawn up leeving everything to Cooper.

PRESERVING CLIFF DWELLINGS
Movements to Turn Colorado Region Into a National Park.

Into a National Park.
 From the Denver Republicans: AS 8 result of meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleeck, bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado a national park will in all probability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John F. Shaf- roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and Dr. Camden NJ. Cobern, with the host, constituted the meeting. Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such bill, and the other men present, all of whom have been on the ground, reeapitulated all they personally gathered concerning the interesting ruins below Durango Granting that the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settine aside of the land contain ing these prehistoric buildings. and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, MT. Shafroth saw no impeachment in the way of passing the bill. Maps and pictures of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over and studied. While the dimensions of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southwest, by four or five miles wide, will include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- eious minerals or agricultural land. MT. Shafroth made copious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage of the bill. He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the care-tak- ing of the ruins. Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license. MT. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian institution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time tw large exploring po~-'o- of 100 members each are being organized -one in San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Mancos canyon and excavste in the ruins.

WHERE DRINKING PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 af

Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little Liquor at ine.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons a
 better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question frequent ly asked. The answer is simple enough
 In the former drinkers never take a
 bath, as the saying is, but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with llouor, while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount the patrons require. "If you can tell me how many drinks a bar gets out of gallon of whisky" said veteran of the white apron the other day, will tell you relatively where hlS saloon is located and what kind of trade it enjoys. The average for a business in the commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-hve. If It Is patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled mechan- ies, and so on, the percentage runs down to fifty. A fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated workingmen were heavy drinkers, but it's just the reverse. The average up- per class mechanic drinks very sell dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tipplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eighty-fve out of a gallon In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep resents an average of exactly four bfths of a gill to each customer. In such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even if filled to the brim will not hold over one-half of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean S320, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than $1 the profit is shade over 200 per cent, which ought to satisfy even dive keeper. If a five-cent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle it would be bankrupt in less than week"

BLIND MAN AT THE RACES.
As Interested and Excited as Those
 Who Can See.


 Who Can See.
 T was out at the race track one day last winter" said a merchant. when was accosted by man who was holding the hand of little boy. It was former friend, whom I had not seen for years and who had become totally blind He told me that he rec ognized my voice, and while we stood there talking the bell rang from the track. They're going to start! he ex claimed, exeitedly. Come! Let's get into the grandstand BIS quickly as we ean!' After we secured seats couldn't help expressing surprise at his eager ness. Oh. that's all right he replied abstractedly. T bet I'll get nearly as much out of it as you do, and after watching him through the next race I became convinced that he was telling the truth. To begin with, he fired volley of short, sharp questions at the boy, and in that way obtained a good general idea of the situation Then he leaned forward like man about to spring. I never saw such an attitude of fierce and concentrated attention To say that he seemed to be listening doesn't begin to express it. He seemed to be literally absorbing everything that was going on around him. His chin was lifted, his lips were little apart, a red spot came and went on his cheeks, and l could see the big veins in his neck throbbing like an engine. It was an uncanny spectacle. couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was exercising some unnatural, super human faculty. After the race was run he dropped back, relaxed, and sat there listless and inert until the next tap of the bell. Later, when we were in the street car, tried to learn some thing of his experience. He smiled good-naturedly, but found difficulty in making me understand. I get lot of pleasure out of the races he said and can follow some of them almost as we'll as If l had my sight. I can't tell ex- actly how it is done. I suppose my brain has become trained to catch hun- dreds of little eues-the shouts Of the | people on the track, the eXclamations of the crowd, the cheers and laughs | and groans and curses, the chance re- marks of passers; yes, even the chatter Of feet-everything means something to me, and although it builds up pie ture in my mind, feel it somewhere in the air, and get so excited that for get all about being blind. Ohl mo- he said, wouldn't miss the races for New Orleans Times Democrat
