last night at Hoffman, town on the

essary to have guards.
Last night the Rev. John Trough, an
evangelist. stood sentinel, armed with a
shotgun, and several shots We're fired at
him from the darkness. He returned the
fire, whereupon the crowd opened a rapid
fire with revolvers into the tent, driving
the evangelist to cover.
a panic ensued which caused women
and children to be trampled upon and a
number We're seriously injured.
After the fusillade was over the tent
was found to be riddled with bullets.
The evangelist says that God was with
him or he would have been killed The
excitement was so great that the authori-

A Telephone Whistle.

When the earpiece Of telephone re-
ceiver is held to the mouthpiece of the
transmitter, more or less shril tone
or whistle is heard in the receiver. This
occurs when the apparatus is in good
working condition and when the trans
mitter is on short circuit. This effect
is seemingly due to series of reactions
analogous to but much more complex
than those which occur in an electric
bell when it's circuit is closed. A move
ment Of the diaphragm of the receiver
toward it's magnet tends to weaken the
pressure on the carbon of the transmit
ter, which causes weakening Of the
current, allowing the diaphragm to fall
away, with the further result that the
air column is compressed, increasing
the pressure on the carbon again and
also increasing current strength, where
by the diaphragm in again attracted,
and this action is repeated over and
over again-Cassiers Magazine.

The Human Mouth.

1t has been discovered that the hu-
man mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left of the
face, which will in time bring it some
where in the neighborhood of the left
ear. All the five great races of man
have an uncomfortable tendency to eat
only with the teeth which grow from
the left jaws. This wears out the left
teeth more rapidly than those on the
right side of the mouth, and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws
an inclination toward the left.
It is the expressed opinion of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll of professional honor that
in the course Of time the mouth from
causes above mentioned will have COM
pletely changed it's position and that il
will then be situated rather nearer the
left ear than to the nose.
