An Arab Wife Who Upheld Her Hon.
or by Beheading Her Worth
less Husband.

The Times of India tells the follow
ing story to show the character Of
the Arabs of Yemen, among whom
there had been some disturbances, says
London Telegraph. A man of Zaranika,
who had several times cut the new tel
egraph lines, and who was punished
more than once, was caught on one
occasion by an Arab sheik in charge
of the lines. The sheik intended to
send him to Needy for imprisonment
but the wife of the accused came in
and stood as a guarantee for his flu
ture good behavior. The sheik &C.
cepted the bail and released him, but
shortly afterward he again resorted
to his old practice of cutting the wires,
and bolted away to another village,
at a distance of one days march, where
he had another wife. The sheik then
sent for his first wife who stood Sc
curity for him, and told her he would
disgrace her among the Arabs if she
failed to bring in her husband. The
woman asked the sheik not to spread
the black sheet" Ga custom of the
country when anyone commits a
breach of trust) until the following
day. She started that night, taking
a sharp dagger concealed under her
clothes, to the village where her hus.
band was staying. She found him
asleep in his abode, and stabbed him,
cut his throat, and carried his had
back to her home. The next morning
she went to the sheik and presented
the head of her husband, saying: "Here
is your criminal, and am freed from
the bail. Please do not afix the black
sheet"

What They Cost.

How much bad roads cost and how
much good roads increase valuations
and enrich the people is shown in these
few statements that are given out by
authoritative persons. New Jersey,
perhaps, is the best example of good
road work. In ten years it has expend-
ed $2,5O0,000 on its roads. The in
creased valuation of its property in
that period of time is S27,5OO,OO0, with.
out increasing the tax rate. The aver
age cost of transportation from the
farms to the nearest marker or railroad
over bad roads is not less than twenty
five cents per mile, on good roads about
one-third Of this. or eight cents per
mile. 1t is estimated that one-half OF
the farm products Of Pennsylvania,
amounting to 3,25O,000 tons annually,
are hauled five miles. Assuming that
a two-horse team makes two trips
day, the cost of hauling on clay roads
would be, at s1.25 load, S5.7O3.750
whereas, if the same tonnage was car
ried over macadam the cost would be
S1,977, 800 less, or $3,72625O. This diff
ference is enough to build good mac
adam road across the entire keystone
State.
Suffolk County. Long Island, is con-
sidering the bonding of the county for
100000 to build thirty-seven miles Of
road This will cost taxpayer $75,
on $4,000 assessed valuation in ten
years, and. according to precedents,
the value of property would Increase
anywhere from ten to thirty per cent

Navy Irone With Tattooing.

"Tattooing may have become the
vogue among faddy young men and
women of distinction in society, as |
occasionally see noted in the news
papers, but 1t has gone out Of fashion
among the men-o'-war's-men." said a
naval officer at the Brooklyn yard the
other day. For a number Of years
past, in fact, the old-timers have heeu
using a certain method to get rid of
their tattoo marks. This is the milk
and-toothpick treatment, and it's about
the simplest thing in life.
"The sailorman vino has bit Of tat
tooing that he wants to get rid of sim.
ply dips sharp and hard toothpick III
milk and jabs away at the mark With
it. 1t is triie painful, of course. The
skin must be broken Ill over the sur
face of the tattooed mark to let the
milk into the flesh.
''The milk absorbs the ink, and when
the wound heals the tattoo mark is nc
longer there. A scar Is left, but by nc
means as bad scar is left after q tat
too mark has been treated by the clcc
tric needle.
I'm time about every one grows
weary of his tattoo marks. The young
officers of my day in the old navy near
IL all had themselves marked up with
the bunch of tattooins needles, just as
the old-time bluejackets did, but J
think we're all more OF less sorry fol

Special Roads For Automobiles.

One outgrowth Of the use of automo-
biles on the public roads Of England,
with the obvious Disadvantages Of
their speeding, is the proposal to build
q special highway for motor cars. The
proposition is for road with broad.
smooth wooden pavements to extend
the full length Of the island by such
route as motor tourists would prefer.
It is also proposed to have side paths
for cyclists. This would be an expen-
sive undertaking, and only partially
successful in freeing the ordinary roads
from the dreaded machines. But it Is
clear that something will have to be
done fer the protection of the public.
Automobiles travelling the common
roads also used by horse carriages, at
the terrible rate Of from forty to sixty
miles an hour, are nearly as intolerable
as would be the locomotives from the
steam roads doing the same thing. The
common use of highways by vehicles
having such different rates Of speed
will, in time, be condemned. The risks
arc too great. Either a way will be
discovered for restricting the speed Of
the machines, or special roads for them
will need to be provided. The trolley
cars are a sufficiently perilous acquisl-
ton to the highways, but they keep on
their iron tracks, and drivers of SLOW
er carriages can keep out of their way.
But the automobile driver claims the
whole road.-Boston Herald.

Ballooning as n Cure.

DR.. Naugier, of Paris, in 4 paper reat
at a recent meeting of the Academic dc
Medicine, made astonishing claims az
to the tonic and blood-forming effects
of balloon ascensions. A two hours
voyage in the air, he declared. causes
marked increase in the number OF
the red corpuscles. and the condition
persists for ten days after IN ascen
sion. Five such ascensions in the
course of six or seven weeks, he said
are more beneficial to an anaemic thar
a sojourn of three months in the
mountains. The good effect begins tt
be felt almost Immediately, and
heightened stay in the air is of nc
value, and in the case OF many is ac
tually detrimental in causing nervous:
irritation.
DR.. Naugier urged that the municipa
council be asked to provide a large bal
loon, capable of taking to the uppel
air daily fifty patients who are too pool
to afford a change of climate.-NsN

EARTh'S CENTER.
It is Solid, Reservoirs Of Molten Mat.
ter Belnu Local,


The recent volcanic outbreaks in the
Lesser Antilles have naturally aroused
much popular and scientific interest In
these geological phenomena and have
made brief statement Of current and
accepted explanations of them a mat
ter of interest. All these manifesto
tions of heat are derived from the
great stores which exist in the interior
of the earth.
The consideration of them and of
the known increase of temperature
with depth led earlier geologists to
believe that the earth possessed a
heated molten core and cold relative
ly thin exterior shell. But as further
investigation developed correct con-
ceptions of the rigidity of the globe
in resisting strains produced by it's
rotation and the attraction of other
heavenly bodies for it's mass, and as
the elevating effect upon the fusing
points of rocks of an increase Of press
ure was realized, it was seen that the
earth is practically solid clear through,
and that local reservoirs of molten
rocks beneath volcanic districts are
alone & lissible
That local reservoirs exist seems
quite we'll established, and that the
rock is sufficiently flued to enable COM
plex parent magmas to break up into
various differential products is the
latest result of the investigation of
eruptive areas. Volcanoes are, more
over. arranged along great lines of
geological disturbance and fractures
The fractures are naturally the con-
duits through which the great tension
of the internal molten masses is eased
by eruptions. The immediate propul-
sive force which drives the lava to the
surface is the next topic Of Importance
which challenges attention. Some
geologists believe that the contrac-
ton of the globe and the sinking OF
one side of the great fractures above
referred to forces out the lava as juice
might be squeezed through rent in
an orange.
Others, however, attribute the pro-
pulsion to vapors which are held dis
solved or included in the lava, and
which are so much in evidence at
times of eruption. The frightful ex-
plosions and the vast exhibitions OF
power which they present give much
force to this conception. Imagine.
then, a rising tide of lava. AS it
forces it's way through the conduit 1t
spreads earthquake shocks abroad.
Reaching the surface, Its dissolved
vapors explode with greater and great
er violence and scatter tufts and brec-
cias over the neighboring country.
They may rend the crater and set loose
floods of lava. AS the energy eS-
pends itself the violence declines and
disappears. The volcano then yields
only hot springs and gaseous ennis
sions, called fumaroles, until it Is stone
cold.-Popular Science Monthly.

AN ELUSIVE ISLAND.
It Was in the Missouri River and Now
Tanrles Land Titles.


It Was in the Missouri River and Now
Tangles Land Titles.
The ownership of St. Charles Island
Is to be officially determined ut the
September term of the st. Louis Coun-
ty Circuit Court. Five ejectmcnt sNlts
for this purpose have been filed in the
Circuit Clerks Office in Clayton. Since
1883, when the current Of the Missouri
River was changed at st. Charles. the
ownership Of the island has been Il
matter of dispute between Louis IL.
Broker and O. T. Cottle. Of St. Charles.
and several citizens of st. Louis and
st. Louis County Both Broker and
Cottle agree that the island has NOT
been an island since that time. and in.
sist that it was swept across the river
and annexed by st. Louis County,
where it became a part of the main
land.
Broker and Cottle were the plain
tiffs in the suits filed at Clayton, John
BOYLE, Jr., William Buddicks, Frank
Mitchell, Charles Fillincham and Dan
iel Coffee the defendants. The extent
OF property involved is 3335.4I acres.
st. Charles Island was surveyed in
1850 by Theodore BrucTe. surveyor OF
st. Charles County, and recorded as
part of the county. For twenty-for1r
years it remained stationary, and its
owner prospered from the fertility of
it's grounds. The channel of the river
changed from the st. Louis to the
St. Charles County side, and the cur
rent washed into the st. Charles Coun-
ty shore, thus widening the distance
between the county and its island pos.
session. Day by day Broker and Cot.
tie could see their land getting further
and further away from their homes on
the mainland.
Boyle and his neighbors owned the
land to which it joined when the river
changed and they took possession.
When Broker and Cottle asserted their
claims they maintained that they were
entitled to all accretions, and that st.
Charles Island no longer existed. be.
cause it had been swept away. Broker
and Cottle tried for q year to get pos

to appeal to the courts. Several close
law points will be brought up when
