A machine which threads 1000 needles
a minute is at work in st. Gall, Switzer-
land. The purpose of the machine is to
thread needles that are placed afterward
in an embroidery loom for making Swiss
or Hamburg lace. The device is almost
automatic. 1t takes the needle from a
hopper, carries it along and threads,
ties the knot, cuts the thread off a uni
form length. then carries the needle
across an open space and sticks it in a
rack. The work of threading these nee
dies was formerly done by hand.

1t is stated by an authority that the
weight of mans brain has nothing to
do with his mental power. 1t is ques-

colder the climate, the greater the size
of the brain. The largest heads of all
are those of the Chugatshes, who live
very far north. and next come the heads

MORE MEN FOR KITCHENER
ReIntOrcsments for the South African Army
Beers Held Up Natal Train.

London, Feb. l1.-Public attention
has again been turned toward South
Africa by the dispatch of reinforce.
ments and the publication of Lord
Roberts dispatches. Rumor has been
in circulation that Mr.. Chamberlain
had reconsidered his South African
policy, and was contemplating lound
table conference with John Morley and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, and
the recall OF Sir Alfred Miner.
The appearance OF the bubonic
plague at Cape Town seems likely ia
add to the difficulties of ths situation.
The authorities there have decided
upon a wholesale determination OF
rats. Should the disease spread. il
will necessitate changes in the mill.

Today Sir Alfred Miner makes an.
other earnest appeal to employers to

near Nlakfontein. The few soldiers
ON board exhausted their cartridges.

aground this morning on coral reef
near the wreck OF the United States
collier Merrimac. she arrived at day
break, intending to embark the troops
of the Tenth infantry for New York.
The pilot attempted to pass on the
wrong side of the Merrimac, and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three
powerful tugs pulled unsuccessfullv all
the afternoon in the attempt to float
the ship. 1t will probably be necessary
to rig elaborate tackle before she can
be gotten off. She is in no danger,
and the Likelihood is that she is not
injured.

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.
Three Wsll.KnOwn Men We're TrsiIed Through
the Snow.

Sioux City, Ia, Feb. l2.-Three
men, believed to have been implicated
in the theft last night at Manila, Ia,
OF United States Express Company s
safe, said TO contain $40, 900, we're ar
rested at that place this morning.
They were traced by their tracks in
the snow. The men are John Jack.
son, John Stovall and Charles Hayes.
All live at Manila, and are we'll known.
Their regulations heretofore have not
been bad. They stoutly protested
their innocence. Mrs. Jackson. wife
of John jackson, was also arrested,
but at preliminary hearing, she was
released. The three men are in Jail,
having been unable to furnish bond,
fixed at $l2, 900 each.
None OF the money or valuables, has
been recovered. The safe that was
stolen contained in the neighborhood
OF $4,000. Two thousand dollars was
in cash. and the remainder in drafts,
checks and various valuables. While
the robbery undoubtedly was deliber.
ately planned, as the horse and wagon
were in waiting in convenient spot,
1t is not believed that the men knew
they were making so rich haul.
They had no means of knowing the
contents of the safe, only that it was
used in carrying valuables.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & Sc. Paul
train on which the safe was taken
from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
sos p. NJ. The Omaha train was
late, and James Sturtevant. OF Sioux
City. the express messenger, did not
hurry in unloading the goods and pack
ages from his car. The express box,
with other articles, was placed on a
truck on the depot platform, and then
Sturtevant and the baggageman went
to the other end OF the platform to get
another truckload. When Sturtevant
returned he noticed the articles on the
truck we've disarranged, and a glance
showed that the iron box was gone.
There was great excitement. and no
time vas lost in spreading the alarm.
Marshal Fearall hastily assembled a
posse. Snow lay thick on the ground,
and it did not take long to discover
the tracks OF two persons, who evident
ly had been carrying something heavy
directly from the truck, as i. stood on
the depot platform.
They carried the safe a distance Of
about two blocks. and then loaded it
into a wagon. which had been left
there in waiting. The wagon was
driven about a mile and a half out into
the country. and there the safe was
forced open and the contents abstract
ed. The men abandoned the safe and
went their way on new track. 1t
was not difficult. however. to trace
them, and this morning three arrests
were made. The authorities say the
shoes of two of the men under arrest fit
exactly the tracks in the snow.
