The following bulletin was issued Sun

bedroom shot her to death, after when
he turned the revolver upon himself ana
sent bullet into his right temple. Ills
aim was not true, and ne fired another
bullet, which passed through the brain
| and caused instant death. 1t was not
known until the coroner's inquest was

LAPLANDERs IN DISTRESS.
They Have Lost Many Reindeer and Have


They Have Lost Many Reindeer and Have
Become Very Poor.
Those famous nomads of north
Europe, the Laplanders, have been
unfortunate in recent years and the
Norwegian press is calling attention
to their sad condition. The news
papers even say that unless something
is done for the Laps or a fortunate
change occurs in their condition, they
will dwindle away and finally disap-
pear, victims of the circumstances
that have bereft them of the larger
part of their reindeer, which have al
ways formed their sole wealth. Not
many years ago the average head OF a
family in Lapland owned at least a
few score of reindeer, and some of
the .wealthiest men had 1000 to 2000
animals. The largest herds today do
not contain over 800 reindeer and
many Lapps who once owned hun.
dreds of deer do not now possess more
than ten or twenty. This means dire
poverty in Lapland, for the deer is the
sole capital of the country. Tolive in
comfort family of FIVE persons must
sell or kill from thirty to fifty animals
a year and this requires q herd Of
from 800 to 500 deer. But many fam.
lilies now do not own enough deer tc
keep them in food and clothing.
A variety of causes has combined to
decimate the herds. Fatal diseases
have for some years been particularly
prevalent. Then the area of pastur-
age has been diminishing because set.
tiers from the south have been invad.
ing Lapland. The new peasantry are
not on the friendliest terms with the
Lapps, and when deer stray into theil
enclosures they are snot Beasts OF
prey are also responsible for the dis,
appearance of many deer. and all
these causes have combined to destroy
the prosperity of the poor Lapps, who,
from their point of view, were once
very well-to-do in the world.

Intirinr Machines.

For registering the results Of foot
race the human eye and voice seem
sometimes painfully inadequate. Close
contests Of this kind will doubtless
End more pleasantly when the new
Judging machine" described by tho
Golden Penny, comes into general Use.
The machine, which was invented by
IN Australian, is designed to be placed
1t the finish line, and consists Of a
light metal frame partitioned into two
1r more divisions, each about four feet
vide. On the top Of the frame stands
/ small cabinet containing numbered
divisions corresponding to the num-
Ders Of the tracks The instant the
arst man passes through his division
l shutter falls, disclosing his track
aumber. The other numbers are i'm
nediate1y locked, except when the ma
shine is set for final heats. In this
Ease q small cylinder Is attached to
The machine, and a hammer head
strikes a mark on the revolving cylin-
