UNIVERSAL ENERGY.
Electrical Influence May Re Moving
Force I'm the Motion OF the
Spheres.

This age is giving dignity and place
to electricity that were not dreamed
of few years ago, and now comes NJ.
I. Pence, professor Of physics in the
Kentucky college, at Lexington, claim
ing-and not without strong proof
that the space pervading ether is n
form OF electricity.
This theory strongly supports Mr..
Tesla's claim that intelligences in
widely separated planets can COM
municate with each other, and is in
line with the often expressed hypothe-
sis that electrical energy plays great
part in the motion of the spheres, and
NAV be the real cause of what we call
gravity"
Even Newton said he doubted the
power of matter attracting matter
through a vacuum, and intimated that
he believed there must be some moving
substance or energy forcing the bodies
together, and he found the law that
the force of attraction diminishes ac-
cording to the inverse square to be in
accord with the theory. Now, accord
ing TO Prof. Pence, we may find that
electrical energy is forcing matter in
all directions. and is the cause Of wha
we term attraction of gravitation.
This electrical ether. If it exists, IS
consistent with well-lnown facts In
wireless telegraphy, and its permeat-
ing the earth may, ii is claimed, be the
real cause of the ground circuit.

STRANGE MOUNTAIN TRIBE.
Discovers Of an Unknown Race or
AbOrigines in the Wilds
of BOrneO.

A strange tribe has just been dis
covered in Borneo by DR.. \. w. Nieu-
venhuis. the distinguished Dutch ex-
plorcr. As he was travelling through
the district of Sarawak he heard from
his guides that at a little distance
there was mountain tribe which no
European or America had ever visit
ed. and straightway he went thither,
and i'm 2 day or two found himself at
the headquarters Of these unknown
aborigines. At once ne saw that they
differed from all other natives Of
Borneo. and he spent some weeks in
acuuainting himself with their curl
Gus customs and also in studying
their country. which is entirely un-
known to foreign travellers. IN this
way BE accumulated mass Of new
material. which he intends to give to
the world at an early date in The
form of book.
This is the second journey which
DR.. Nieuwenhuis has taken to Central
Borneo. lie first went there in 1896
and explored the sources Of the Ka-
nuas and Mahakkam rivers, after
which he returned to Europe, where
he at once obtained an appointment
as director of the Botanical garden
at Buitenzorg. In 1899 he went again
to Borneo, intending to thoroughly
eXDlore the interior of the country
and it is claimed that in this task he
has succeeded better than any pre-
| yious traveller.

After the duel had Been fought
the principals repaired to cafe and
ordered lunch.
Not exactly gourmands, but hearty
eaters were they, which caused an
American, who had gone to the expo
sition and had not yet earned suiii-
cient capital for the return voyage,
to remark that it takes more to sat
isfy a Frenchman's appetite than it
does his honor.
No sooner had the words left his
lips than Count de Boozleane struck
him in the face with his open palm.
But lo Instead of challenging the
count and wiping out the insult in
mortal combat, the American simply
smashed him between the eyes, caught
him with a right-hand hook as he
was going down and then stepped on
his face with his bulldog shoes, all
the while asking the count if his
honor was satisfied. The count finally
admitted that it was.

This is a true story, and it was told

The other day woman living in Riv-

a desire to have him enter the kinder

but it was woefully dirty, and one Of
the settlement rules is that all pupils

So the teacher looked at the little

"Some enterprising dealer in canned
Goods could make a small fortune"
said a visiting lumberman, reports
the New Orleans Times-DemOcrat,
"by going into the northwest and
putting up tree ants as a condiment.
No, I'm not joking he continued,
"and what's more, the product would
need no introduction to the people
of that region. All through the lum-
Der districts Of Minnesota and Wis
consin ants are regarded as great
delicacy, and the only trouble is that
they can't get enough Of them. l
don't know why it is. but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire a strong craving for some
thing sour, and the big, brawny
choppers and teamsters found out
lone ago that ants were a palatable
substitute for pickles. They use only
peculiar variety, large and red in
color and found in immense quaint
ties under the bark Of dead trees.
It is not very hard to collect a quart
nail full. and after killing them by
scalding they are spread on a board
and dried in the sun. When ready to
eat they look like coarse, brown pow
der and have very agreeable, aro-
matte smell.
"Of course. it is impossible to de-
scribe exactly how they taste, but
the general flavor would remind you
of some fine fruit vinegar, and if you
have any squeamishness over the ma
ture OF the dish it doesn't take you
long to forget it. I can't see, how
ever, why there should be any obiec-
ton to dried ants as a table delicacy
