One of the most daring tests of mental telepathy will ba tried by Prof Knowles, the hypnotst on the main streets of our city Friday after noon at 2:33 o'clock, sharp. The test consists in a party of citizens taking Ia cab and hiding an article some where in the city limits and the re turning to where the started from.

"I Is the Commoner proper title for an American newspaper?" asks the Commercial Appeal That ques- tion is now being somewhat acrimon- ously debated in the press It has been urged against it that, as mat ter of fact, there are no commoners in the United States; that there can be no commoners where there is no hereditary nobility; and that the word has no application except in a country like England The point is not ill taken. If it is Mr. Bryan's in tention to build up and emphasize class distinctions in this country he had better left his paper unborn If there is one eommoner in the United States, We are all commoners. The only classes we can be said to have in this country are the rich, the we'll todo and the poor: but the richest man of all-say MT Rockfeller-is just as much of a commoner as the poorest

About SnceziuE.

We frequently hear the expression,
"God bless your uttered after some
one has .sneeZed. The expression, if
we can believe Clodd in his "Childhood
Of the World" dates back to the time
Of Jacob We are told in Jewish lit
eratlrc that previous TO his time men
snrrZcd but once in lifetime and that
was the end Of them, for the shock
slew them. Jacob prevailed in prayer
and had the fatality set aside on the
condition that among all the nations a
snccze should he hallowed by the
words, God bless you." In the "Jata-
ka." one Of the books Of the Buddhist
Scriptures, we read that the express
sion was. May the blessed Lord al
low YOU to live!'
EuldEa on one occasion while
preaching to his disciples happened to
snceGe. The priests gave vent to the
exclamation, and Bu1dha lectured them
for interrupting his discourse.
"If when u person sneezes," he asked
"and you say, May he live! will he
live the Ionger?"
Certainly not" cried the priests.
"And If you do not say it will he die
any the soonerW
Certainly not!' was the reply.
'Then," said Buddha, from this time
forth If any one snccze and a priest
says, May you live! lie shall be guilty
of transgressi0n."

REPORT ON ORDNANCE.
General Burlington FavOrs the X rag
JOrEensan Rifle.


WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-General
Burlington. chief of ordnance, in his an
nual report argues strongly against the
detail system SO far As concerns his
own department. He points to the cni-
tivation by European countries of spe-
cial ordnance experts MS showing the
necessity for making this service life
work. He refers briefly to the necessity
of reforming the system of allotting
contracts, pointing to two cases where
for three years and for seven years re-
spectively the department has had CON
tracts dragging along which it had
been forced to make by congress and
otherwise.
General Burlington submits bill
looking to the complete equipment Of
the national guard with the Krag- DOR
gensen. He says that this rife has met
with approval, but he has not been con-
tent with that and has made sample
rifle much simpler. cheaper and stron-
ger which will give Il ball velocity Of
200 feet per second more than the ex-
listing model and will be equipped with
a rod bayOnet.
General Burlington tells at length of
the experiments that have been made
by his department during the past year
to find high explosive and proper
fuse for it and says that the long con-
scientious and laborious work under
dlscouraging conditions has resulted in
obtaining two high explosives for field
and siege guns and two for seacoast de-
fense. The latter and the fuse are supe-
rlor to any known to the department.
