THE KANGAROO MOUSE.
t's the Most Peculiar Looking Mem- Der of the Rodent Family and
 Native of Egypt.

Kangaroo mice from Egypt are the
 pets of Louis Grebasch, a barber liv- ng at 130 Dearborn avenue, Chicago. MT. Grebasch says his strange pets ire the first of their kind brought to America. The kangaroo mice resem- ole the animal after which they are named, excepting they are even more grotesque in their disproportions. Want of symmetry is the chief charm of the Djerboas Dipus Egyptius, which is the proper name of the kan- garoo mouse. It seems as much enti- tied to classification in almost any other branch of the animal kingdom

SUICIDE IN SYRACUSE.
Son of Ambassador White Shot Him.
 self

SYRACUSE, July 9.-Attorney Fred erick D. White, son of the ambassador t. Germany, Andrew D. White, committed suicide at 5:30 o'clock yesterday after noon. He had been suffering from neu. rasthenia. He went to bathroom at his home, 609 James street, and shot himself in the head with a rife. It is stated that the cause for the suicide was ill health following typhoid fever and nervous pros tration as a result of the hot wave, which. the doctor says, brought on melancholia. Young MT. White was booked to sail on the steamer Deutschland next Wednes- day on a visit to his father and in search of health.
 Mir. White had appeared to be in usual health during the day and had attended to matters of business in the management of the White estate. He was alone in the house with the servants during part of the late afternoon, Mrs. White and his son being out. She returned shortly after , o'clock and sought him in his li- brary. She found that he had been mak- ing out his usual monthly checks in the transaction of business and had evidently broken off abruptly.
 She went through the house looking for him and to the bathroom on the second floor. She there found him lying dead on pdSoCO through his brain, and death had been instantaneous No one had heard the shot.
 Some IS years ago, on completing his course at Columbia Law college, MT. White had a severe attack of typhoid fever, from which he never recovered. Stomach and intestinal troubles resulted. Later his nervous system became weak ened and within a few years neurasthe- mia developed.
 About a year ago he suffered a severe attack of the complaint. During the re cent hot spell another attack of the dis ease came on, leaving him in a state of acute nervousness.
 The announcement of Mr. Whites death was received with great sorrow in this city, where he occupied prominent position in social circles. A cablegram announcing his death was sent to Embas- sador White at Berlin. As yet no arrange- ments for the funeral have been made.
 Frederick D. White was the only son of Ambassador White. He was born in Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 15. 1859. He was educated at Cornell university and also in the University of Berlin, Prus- sia. He studied in Columbia Law college, New York, from 1882 to 1884. In the latter year he was admitted to the bar at Binghamton, N. Y.,i and afterward prac- ticed his profession in this city.
 Much of his time in later years has been devoted to the management of prop erty owned by himself and his father.
 In 1885 MT. White married Miss Anne Bruce, daughter of General Dwight H. Bruce, the present postmaster of this city. Besides his wife he is survived by one son, Andrew D. White.
 MT. White was one of the most highly educated men in Syracuse. He was espe cially we'll informed on scientific and his torical matters. During his early life he spent many years with his father in Flu rope. He was a brilliant writer and con versationalist and perfect gentleman in the best sense of the word.

helium could be produced, this sub stance would not enable us to reach the zero of temperature.
 Another gas must be found as much more volatile than helium as helium was than hydrogen in order to reach within one degree Nof zero. If helium group comprised sub stance having an atomic weight of one-half that of helium such a gas would bring us nearer the desired goal. Meantime the production of liquid helium is difficult and expen- sive enough problem to occupy the scientific world for many day.
 In conclusion Prof. eDewar showed how the crystal nitrate of uranium, when placed in liquid hydrogen, be- came for a time self-luminous on ac- count of the high electric stimulation brought about by cooling causing actual electric discharges between the crystal molecules. When cooled the crystal was removed from the liquid. Luminosity and electric dis charges took place during the return to normal temperature.
 Prof. James Dewar, whose recent remarkable experiments with liquid hydrogen are here described, was really the inventor of that myste- rious quantity. He began his re- searches in the liquefaction of air in 1874. Since then he has written and read before the Royal Institution of Great Britain more than 80 papers, giving the result of his investiga- tions and experiments. He con- quered liquid air, Hquefied hydrogen, and he now expects to reduce helium, the most volatile substance known. Prof. Dewar was born at Kincardine- on-Forth in 1842, and was educated at the Dollar academy and Edinburg university. He is an M. A., IL. D., D. Sc, F. R. s. E., F. I. O., F. c. S., holds two professorships at Cam bridge, is vice president of the Royal society, and is coinventor with Sir Frederick Abel of cordite. He was awarded the first Hodgkins gold medal of the Smithsonian institution in 1899 for. exceptionally important contributions to our knowledge of the nature and properties of atmos- pheric air.'' Prof. Dewar lives in AIbemarIe street. London.

FranLfort Rothschi1ds Extinct.

The Jewish Chronicle announces the extinction of the Frankfort branch of the Rothschilds. which has for over a century ranked as the parent house. The employees are to be pen stoned off and the whole business closed. This is the sequence of the death of Baron Willy Rothschild a few months ago. His brother part ner, who founded and endowed the delightful public library near the river in what was formerly his own house-in fact, the seats are his own dining-room chairs, and most com fortable they are-died some years ago. Baron Willy was intensely de- vout, and his reputation for devotion and charity brought so many Semitic parasites to Frankfort at one time that the municipality remonstrated. He had large house in the city, but lived chiefly at a beautiful villa near by.

A Roy,s Sense of Honor.

It might have been a mistaken idea of boyish honor that prompted him to do it, but who could but admire the spirit of the little fellow who, while he lay dying in a New York hospital the other day, refused to tell the name of the companion who had pushed him
 from freight car and brought him to his death? Don't cry, mamma ? he said, after his>crushed legs had been amputated. 1t wouldn't be fair to tell. He didn't mean to hurt me" And, with his hand clutching his moth CTS tightly, the boy who was true to his chum, even to death, passed away.

1r as nnve,

Iris love that makes the world so bright And takes away life's care, It plants the blooming roses, too, On cheeks to make them fair, And bids the luster in the eye To shine with wondrous light, And drives the coldness from the heart To warm it with delight. It clothes the criticising tongue With words of mercy sweet, And little faults will be unseen, When loving hearts shall meet. The whole world brighter seems to grow When love, appearing, speaks, And Iove-warmed hearts find peace and
 rest,
 For which mankind e'er seeks. Martha Shepard Lippincost, in Boston
