4 series of scientific experiments,
made in the Capitol at Washington for
the purpose of showing the physical
properties Of the pendulum, have
brought out some strange facts in re-
gard to the actual movement of the
Capitol itself. The big dome moves
about six inches daily in an elliptical
track.
This movement is due to the inhu-
ence of neat and cold, producing ex-
mansion and contraction. A wire was
hung from the top of the dome to the
door below and on the end of it was a
specially prepared plumb-bob with a
lead Mcneil inserted in its lowest point.
The point of the pencil just touched
The floor ON which there was a paper,
The pencil point marked on the paper
the exact movement of the top Of the
dome during a period Of twenty-four
hours. and showed it to be an ellipti-
cal track averaging six inches in
length.
The dome starts moving in the
morning just as soon as the suns
rays strike II, n the pehcll uIaWs is

reaction takes place, and it moves
back to its starting place, but not oyer

night makes the dome contract, so that

The Washington Monument, like the
Capitol, is influenced to move daily by
the heat from the sun. Government

up a permanent device there to show

Negro Guide
Knocked Out
by Teal Duck

Abel Washington, a negro, who lived
near Silver Lake, Wis, until recently,
and picked up dollars by pulling skins
for duck-hunters, has gone to another
region and probably into another busi-
ness. A teal cured min OF his fond
ness for getting up before daylight and
rowing to a duck-stand. incidentally
tue teal proved hat while 1t is not 50
fast as \ bullet, It is effective as a mis-
sile.
Abel, with a sportsman in the stern
seat, left the hotel n morning in De-
cember half al hour before daylight.
The lake had been much shot over and
the birds were even then astir. The
teal were coming out of the sedges in
swarms and were seeking other feeding
grounds.
AS is the case with them always
when doing this, they were in a hurry.
Because it was black dark they were
flying low.
Several fiocks passed e the boat
not more than ten feet above it, hut
the whistle Of the wings had only the
effect to make the gunner swear under
his breath and allure Abel to hurry.
1t was a marked trait of Abel that he
never hurried.
Suddenly he dropped both oars, fell
backward from the thwart and lay on
the p%lanking, kicking his legs and
hammering the wood with his elbows,
simultaneously a dark object dropped
into the water within a foot Of the
boat and ttoated there.

A tablet to the memory OF Anneke
JAMS, wife of Rev. Everardus Bogar-
dus. and the most famons woman in
New Amsterdam, 1859, - has been sunk
into the wall of No. 20 Whitehall
street, New York city, a tremendous
red brick building, which occupies the
site of her humble home and its sur
rounding gardens. This is the pious
work of the Knickerbocker chapter OF
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
lion. AS for Anneke, her later fame
comes from the fact that the heirs OF
her body have been turning up ever
since the nineteenth century was
young to get a slice of the property Of
Trinity church.

Incident Caused CoIored
Gentlemen TO Quit
Business.

Not knowing what else to do, and
afraid to nov lest the little craft be
capslzed, the sportsman reached out a
hand and pickeo it up. It was a green
head teal, its head, breast, back and
wings mashed to a pulp.
A man might have counted a hun
bred ver Abel before he got to a sit
ting posture and thence clambered to
his seat. He sat stupidity for ten min
utes breathing hard.
Then the morning twilight came
over the waters and the ducks were
streaming by, but a hundred yards
high. Abel looked in an inquiring
manner at the nan who hired him ana
asked in a subdued way:
What for did yo' hit me wild dat
gun, man?'
The sportsman held up the dead teal
and explained the accident. The Negro
had been struck fairly on the right
temple. The skin was broken and had
bled a good deal. Probably it was
punctured by the ducks bill.
The boat returned to the hotel a lit
lie after sunrise and Abel mentally
swore of guiding. The teal which
struck him weighed probably a pound
and a half. It was hurting itself
through space at approximately 125
miles an hour.

Ada Rehan sat in a box at the Met
ropolitan Opera house, New York, the
other night, and in spite of her gray
hair. which is now almost entirely
white, she looked better than she had
for years. Her brief retirement from
the stage after the death of Augustin
DAILY was troubled by vexatious litiga-
tion and other annoyances. Her
mother, to whom she was devoted, and
her brother, died in this period. Her
return to the stage was not wholly
f%elicitous, as the play in which she
acted was not popular. nor a worthy
vehicle for such an actress. So she
has decided to stop acting until she
has just the kind of a play she wants,
If indeed she ever returns to the stage.

goose. The owner of the calf present.
ed a bill for SIT, which the unlucky
goose hunter had to pay.
About a quarter of a mile from the
Widow Simpsons house is the village
school, presided over by a young
woman teacher, who has some thirty
little boys and girls under her charge.
Last Monday morning the goose flew
in at the front door of the s~choolhouse
and began to make things lively.
Knowing the evil nature of the fowl
the teacher and her pupils were badly
frightened at it's appearance. 1t began
operations by grabbing a book out OF
a child's hands and tearing it to
pieces. The teacher, armed with a
broom, and some of the holder of the
pupils with rulers, made a combined
attack on the intruder, but it scared
them off and inflicted a number of Sc
we're injuries on them, including a
bad cut on the teachers face, made
with a stroke of it's powerful wings.
Finally, seeing that they were no
match for the belligerent goose, the
teacher and pupils fed, leaving it in
possession of the room.
Help was summoned, bu< when II
arrived the goose, with a louu squawk,
flew out of the doorway and winged
its way to the woods, since which II
has not been seen. The interior OF
the schoolhouse presented a scene OF
wild wreckage. The floor was strewn
with torn books, desks were upset,
ink bottles spilled, and a humber OF
pancs of blass broken. 1t cost nearly
$40 to repair the damage, and the
school trustees talk of suing the Wild
ow Simpson for the amount if the
goose comes back.
