MAN, THE ONLY LAUGHING ANt-
NAL.
Mans is the only animal known to in
dulge in laughter. He will laugh, too
under the most diverse circumstances. A
pun snore heard in church, the ART
lessness Of a child, a dog which enters
church during the services, a repartee, a
orunlard who reels, a person slipping on
the sidewalk, the dress of a lady which is
torn by nail in the floor, an old style
costume, an orators slip of the tongue.
the caper of clown-these are a few
Of the numerous incentives to laughter.
In this study the aim will be to show
that they all resemble one another, and
also to find in all the cases the common
element which excites laughter

HYPATIA.

This famous romance presents q stirring
picture of the fifth century of the Chris
tian era, against the background of the
learned city of Alexandria in Egypt. A
young christian monk Philammon, a DENT
zen of the rock monasteries on the Upper
Nile, moved by burning desire to save
his fellowmen from sin and destruction,
makes his abode in Alexandria. There his
sleeping senses are aroused by the mag
nihcent pageant of the decaying Roman
world. His mystical visions vanish In the
garish light of too brilliant intellectual
ity. Greek culture, Roman order. the
splendid certainties Of the pagan world,
fascinate mind half sick of shadows"
Yet he is drawn to what is best in the old
order. Its noble philosophy, its sane
ideals, its fine temperature, seem en-
bodied in Hypatia, beautiful woman
over whom ancient Greece exercises an
all-potent fascina ton. In her lecture
room she eXpounds principles of religious
philosophy, the fruit of younger, purer,
and brighter civilization. To Philammoa
she makes her appeal, as a woman and as
a guiding intellect. Jealousy of her in
tiuence is however rife in Alexandria
amOnS the followers of the bishop Cyril,
one of the arch-fanatics Of history
Greek intelligence is brought face to face
with medieval blindness. The temper
of the proseiytizer cOnquers, because the
zeitgeist is in its favor, while the Greek
philosophy belongs to a dead age. The
infuriated Christians fall upon Hypatta
in her lecture-room, and tear her limb
from limb. The book closes upon the CON
querOrs each going to his own place.
and upon world-weary Alexandria set
Ting down to its everlasting sleep.
Hypada abounds in brilliant descriptions
of the strange life of the period with its
opaiescent colors Of decay. It does full
justice to the Christians of-the fifth CEN
tury, to whom the urbanity of the earlier
church was foreign. Its most beautiful
picture is Of the woman Hypatia, seeking
the white light of old Greece through
the intervening mists stained with the
thought and passion of welI-nigh a thou
sand years.

home on the West Side yesterday
morning and had It not been that she

Mrs. Miller has been in poor health
for several years and of late her mind
has been growing weak. She is subject
to peculiar fancies at times and is
carefully watched lest she might take
her life. She has not, however, shown
any tendency in this direction other
than her attempt yesterday morning
Mr. Miller noticed her leave the
room and going out soon afterward
found her handkerchief near the open
ing Into the clstern. On looking in he
saw her head above water and at once
called for help and rescued her. She
did not seem intent on self-destrictior
but was merely under the influence ol
one of her strange notions.
The exposure in the cold water lef
her exhausted for awhile but she raj
lied and was able to sit up in the af

have ordered 600 car loads CT steel

officials to practically rebuild the en-
tire north end OF the road. At the
present time the road between Park
ersburg and Benwood is constructed of
56-pound rail, but the new rail which
has been purchased is s5-pound and
will make the road one of the best in
the middle states.
The first consignment of this pur-
chase arrived this morning. and con-
sisted of train of "a cars. Consign-
ments are expected weekly until the
entire order has been filed A large
number Of laborers will be employed
and put to work as soon as possible

much faster time than that now made
by the Ohio Valley Express can be
made on their winter schedule. Con-
siderable new equipment has been or
