the general public. He is nocturnal,

neck are white. with brownish black
bands running on either side from the
nose over the eyes and ears. His up
per parts are light gray sprinkled with
black, the lower parts brownish black.
His forefeet are long and stout. his
limbs muscular. his jaw powerful and
his teeth sharp. In fact, he is well set
up. as far as these formidable weapons
are concerned.
The usual length of the animal Is n
little over three feet but in his family,

large and small individuals. Take his
general appearance as he joys along

la an article on "Precious Stones" a
most beautiful experiment in the alb
sorption of light by diamonds which
was carried out in Paris during the ex.
position was referred to- On this occa-
sion a collection Of $50 diamonds was
placed in a dark room In a side of
the room was inserted a lens. outside
of which an arc lamp was hung. The
lens. which was employed to concen-
trate the light. was covered with VIC
let colored glass. so that only ultra
violet rays fell on the gems. of which
but three of the entire number proved
to be phosphorescent. All the others
assumed a beautiful violet tint The
two stones whose phosphorescence was
most marked were perfectly transpar-
ent white stones. one having blush
tinge. The phosphorescence exhibited
by these stones is described as ex-
tremely beautiful and remained visible
with gradually diminishing Intensity
for fifteen minutes after metallic cap
was put over the lens.

AS statue of the whltest marble she
stood before him.
AS the prince stood wondering Mt the
magic power of the apparently com

all haste with a message from a dis

friend of Prince Ali.
The breathless messenger fell on his
face before the prince. and after sa.

and recovering breath enough to speak
he begged the pardon of the prince for
first eXacting a promise of secrecy in
regard to the matter upon which he

In his anxiety the prince raised the
hand that held the staff and placed it
on the shoulder Of the exhausted mes
senger, and he, too. was marble.
As the days went by the palace filled
with strange images. and the possessor
of the wonderful staff began to long
for the supernatural donor. The pos
session of his gift began to be a weight,
and each image added to the palace
was a weight added to the burden Of

came not.
At last, when the prince was almost
driven to madness, his strange visitor
again appeared. Before he could ask
question of the descendant of the great
Mahmoud the staff was thrust into his
hands, and he was prayed by the mem
DRY of the great leader to restore to
life the silent images that, instead of

and thatr' exclaimed the aged man.
Look how natural that courier is
about to relate his message"
Most natural, most natural" sighed
the prince, but the unspoken message
is locked In that marble breast"
To several others the strange visitor
drew the shrinking prince and COM

The presidents attitude on the
trust question is attracting unusual
attention. Representative Little-
field Of Maine, it is announced, will
introduce a bill providing for effect.
i've trust control which will have
the support of the adminstra.
tion. The president regards the
trust question as a thoroughly live
issue-a problem ready for immedi-
ate solution, and it is stated that he
can be depended upon to push the
measure with all the strength of his
administration His earnestness in
the matter is not to be mistaken,
and if congress concludes likewise
there is good prospect for the enact
ment of antitrust legislation next
winter.
In undertaking this course the
president is, of course, antagonizing
powerful influences. He knows
that the great business interests re-
gard his attitude with misgiving,
and he is frank in saying that he
has no intention Of keeping "hands
off, " but at the same time he tells
those about him that he will never
support any legislation which can
possibly bring about anything In
the nature of a business panic.

Hazen Case Reversed.

The superior court July 10th fled
a decision in the case of Common
wealth VS.. Charles Hazen reversing
the quarter sessions Of Pike. The
opinion was written by w. w.
Porter, Justice. This is the case in
which the Blooming Grove park as
sociation had Hazen arrested for
killing a deer on its premises. He
was convicted and fined by c. o.
Billings, Esq, and ON an appeal the
court here, Judge G s. Purdy pre-
siding, reversed the findings Of the
justice and declared certain sections
of the act Incorporating the park un-
constitutional. The superior court
sustains the cOnstitutionality of the
act of incorporation and sends the
case back here to be tried on its
merits as to the guilt or innocence of
the defendant in killing the deer as
alleged on the premises of the park.
