THE PREvARICAToR.

During the epidemic of yellow feVer In a southern village few years ago, a neeho named Old Pete was em- ployed to bury the victims. Among those who contracted the disease was MT H. a man known to have very litle regard for the truth. One even ing as Pete was passing the house where Mir H. lay sick, the doctor emerged from the building, and, seeing Pete. said:
 You can bring coffin for H. in the morning, he can't live but an hour or two.'
 Contrary to the doctors expecta- tions MT H began to improve. Prompt ly the next morning Old Pete arrived with the coffin. Placing the coffin on the floor the negro proceeded to place the sick man therein. To this MT Fl. naturally objected. Hearing the rumpus, the nurse hurried in and asked Pete what on earth he meant.
 .sWell, sah, the doctah dun told me dis man ud be dead dis mawnin'. so jis gwine to bury him, dat.s all.'' 8
 "Bnt,'' said the nurse, .'can't you hear? Didn't he tell you he's not dead?" Yes, I heard um." said Pete, scratching his wooIy head in perplex- ity. 'Bnt den. he lie so lak de debble can't nebber tell muffin he sez."

 was too fond of fsthe policeman's little daughter. According to the patrol mans story, the pup was taken in hands by the child when the dog was but a few days old, and the two were playmates for several years. As the dog grew older it's attachment for the child became noted in the neighbor- hood, while it's general viciousness to- ward everybody else was equally as well known. The little girl would beat the dog, drag it about by the tail, stick things in it's ears and otherwise abuse it in all sorts of ways without single growi Of protest on the part of her canine playmate, but if anyone else took any liberties with it it was ready to spring at him in an instant.
 Finally the dog became so jealous of the child that it would allow no other children to play with her, and when the couple returned from stroll it was with difficulty that Mrs. Kidd could separate them. This state of af- fairs was maintained until the father came to the conclusion that the dog was menace to the other children in the neighborhood, and was obliged to shoot the too faithful beast.

2 essand po F..,,

The unusual optical phenomenon of 3 rainbow produced by the sun shin ing not on rain-drops but on particles of sand suspended in the air by wind, was witnessed over part of the Great Salt lake, recently, by Prof. James E. Talmage, of the University of Utah. The colors were very bril- liant, and there was a secondary bow visible. The main bow was fully double the width of an ordinary rainbow. Only a segment of it was seen. The sand was oolitic, consist ing of calcareous spherules of fairly uniform size, ranging between the limits of No. s and No. 10 shot, which are polished and exhibit pearly luster. Prof. Tallnnge points out that the production Of the bow must be due to reflection from the outer surfaces of the spherules. and can not be explained on the principle of refraction and total reflection, gen orally applied to the explanation of the rainbow eT7tb's CnrGpanion.

PHONOGRApH WITH PICTURES
Idea Practically in Its Infancy But Will Undoubtedly Some Day
 Be Perfected.

Long ago MT. Edison suggested that it would be practicable to util- ize the photograph in connection with pictures, and two or three ideas of this kind have been patented re- gently. One contrivance, originated by Jcrseyman, is a nickel-in-the- slot machine, which is so arranged that the record cylinder, as it moves along, disengages a series of photo graphs. These drop into view one after another, while the instrument talks off an entertaining description of them.
 Though the notion, so far as it's practical application is concerned, is as yet in it's infancy, there is no doubt that before long machines for combining the motion-picture with the talking voice will be placed on the market One will then have the advantage of listening and seeing a; the same time, which will be very striking and interesting. The per- formance of skirt-dancer, as watched in moving photographs, will be accompanied. by suitable music, and similarly with other forms of en- tertainment.
 It seems altogether probable that, as predicted by the Wizard, phono- graphic records and motion-pictures of musical and other stage perform ances will be taken simultaneously in the not-distant future, so that both may he reproduced together.

 COLON, Colombia, Oct. 22.-The anx- iolis and prolonged uncertainty regard ing the date upon which the insurgents will probably attack the city of Pana- ma still exists, resulting in a weari- some tension productive of disastrous results to the commerce of the isthmus. Merchants and tradesmen of every de- scription are complaining of the uneX- ampled dullness of trade.
 The United States battleship Iowa, the British sloop of war Icarus and the French second class cruiser Protet at Panama and the United States gunboat Machias and the French cruiser Suchet at Colon continue to await the develop ment of events.
 Friday a large number of insurgents were seen at Empire, an important rail- way station near Panama, but they dis appeared upon the approach of govern ment troops. Sunday another body of insurgents was seen at Fanfar, less than half a mile from the Laboca wharf, on the outskirts of Panama. Fanfar is where the insurgents posted their artillery when they shelled Labo- ca in last years battle.

and, although this did not bear the viz orous stamp of his early work, it was by no means weak. M. Verne recently distinguished himself by declining a seat in the French academy for the sec ond time. He began his literary career as lramatist and for 13 years labored
 successfully in the field as a writer of comedies. 1t was not until 1863 that he
 published the first of the stories upon which his fame was to rest. This was Hive Weeks in a Balloon" Its imme- diate and rebounding success induced M. De Verne to continue to exploit him self in this direction and the result was that widely read series of romances which have delighted the world, young and old, for 30 years or more. M. Verne's chief amusement since his
 youth has been yachting. He owns a tine steam yacht and his happiest
 days have been those spent on it's decks.

The "Arnerican Danger. .,s

BERLIN, Oct. 22.-The Bund der In- dustriellen held a general meeting here at which was discussed the American danger and the new German tariff The general secretary of the bund, Dr. Wendlandt, described the American danger" as extremely grave and said that Germany's manufacturers were fully conscious of this danger. He quoted figures showing the extraordi- nary growth of exports from the Unit ed States to Germany and the decline in the movement of goods in the oppo- site direction and complained that the average of duties imposed by the United States is 50 per cent while that of Ger many is only 10 per cent. A further hardship, he said, is the requiring of | declaration of invoices before a consul, thus giving Americans possession of business secrets of the German manu- facturers. He asserted that the United States government maintained detec- tives in Germany for the purpose of discovering trade secrets and under valuations and cited the case of a fac tory in Saxony which had been ruined thereby.

 The city water was shut off this af- ternoon at o'clock north of the Main street bridge, near Kelly's hotel, for the purpose of tapping the main sup ply pipe to connect a feed pipe along Chapel street. Residents north of the bridge were deprived of city water during the remainder of the day. There is a project on foot to con- struct bridge across the Naugatuck river near the flats, to connect with a roadway through the farm of Johnson Bates and thence to Oakville, cutting down several miles of a round about way to the two villages by way of Frost's bridge. It would become a popular drive as well as open up "a magnificent residential section where the view would be unobstructed for many miles. The selectmen have been asked to do something in this matter.

Omces on Wheels.

In Germany the adaptation of the automobile to military uses has been carried further than in any other country. The progress of military automobilism in Germany is indicated by the fact that the minister of war has lately ordered a series of machines which will carry two small Maxim guns, protected by nickel-steel plates. He has also ordered series of auto mobile breaks which will be provided with tables. These breaks will be used by the general staff and the officers may thus. consult their maps or papers en route. Asseries of light vehicles, or voiturettes, is also to be constructed, to be used on the firing grounds for ascertaining the results of the cannon Shot---N. I. Sun.

body was hurriedly inferred along with the bodies of numerous victims of an epidemic He died at the age of 34 and was buried on stormy night in 1791, along with other victims of the disease, in St. Marks ceme tery, in Vii enna.
 Owing to the panic prevailing because of the epidemic there were no obse- quies. The exact resting place of Mo- zart's body was known only to grave digger called Joseph Rothmayer. Rothmayer was a skilled musician and great admirer of Mozart, and in or der to prevent the body from being stolen he wrapped long wires around the coffin.
 Some time afterward Rothmayer, animated by musical enthusiasm, sur- reptitiously opened the grave and stole the skull. He kept it as sacred relic until his death, when it became the property of one Radschopf, his success sor.
 Both these men maintained the greatest secrecy about their ghastly treasure. Joseph Hyrtl. brother of the celebrated anthropologist, became the next owner of the skull. Hyrtl was a musician of renown and an ardent ad- mirer of Mozart, and Radschopf gave him. the skull as mark of esteem, one of the most extraordinary presents ever given by one person to another.
 On his deathbed only did Hyrtl re- veal the secret. He then told his brother Joseph. The latter had the cranium carefully prepared and placed on a velvet. cushion under glass cover. With his own hand Joseph Hyrtl in scribed the following words on the temporal bone:
 .'Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
 t.Gestorben 1701, geboren l756,
 ''Musa vitat moriI Horaz!"
 Tn this condition Mozart's skull is BOW to be seen at Moedling.
