Save censure--critics all are ready made.
BYRON.
AS a mathematical game checkers ranks
higher than chess, as it requires greater
exactness. The game Is several hundred
years old, and Is a product of the English
speaking world almost exclusively. Edgar
A. Poe, our talented poet, said of checkers:
THE unostentatious game of checkers is
superior to all the elaborate frivolity of
chess"- There are more than three dozen
text books on the game. and there are sew
eral scores Of regular weekly and monthly
publications treating Of new discoveries and
DEVELOPMENTS The Mitchell Library of Glas-
cow, Scotland, recently spent several hun
dred dollars for checker books for general
circulation The colleges in Great Britain
and the United States have recently taken
up the game as a mental recreation and
the houses pr parliament have a room and
club exclusively devoted to the game, which
is equipped with text books and current
publications. on the game. The game is
recognized as an exact science and the
greatest Of its class ever invented 1t is
no uncommon thing in New England, Old
England Australia or Scotland for checker
tournaments to be held when there are from
rs to- 100 pfayerSL and recently in London
there was "a match between two clubs In
which there were ever eighty checkerboards
used-160 players.

THINGS HEARD
~ndSEEN

the Waverly Hotel al Hot Springs, Ark.
Twenty-Five years ago, when Maj. Sylvester
was newspaper reporter in the west. he
knew the Arkansas hotel proprietor. Dur
ing the year of 1874, when the Maxwell
gang of highwaymen and bank burglars
were so badly wanted. the hotel man and
reporter met on a train. Because OF the
daring exploits of criminals passengers on
railroad trains were alarmed for fear Of
being held up" and when on the occasion
referred to a siding had to be taken and
the train delayed the passengers became
weary, as well as uneasy. Time dragged
heavily, and the passengers anxiously
awaited the time when the train would
make start.

the boy on the train. Mr. Cain started
through the train. calling: Here's your

sad were put in good humor. and from
that time until the train started there was
not complaint heard"
A strange and most unexpected visitor
appeared in the photograph room way up
In the top of the War Department building
last Monday morning. It came in through
49,
presence was not discovered until Pho
tographer Chadwick came to work In the
morning. He was considerably startled by
the uncanny appearance Of the stranger
and decided to turn it over to the authori-
ties. The capture was easily accomplished
as it appeared to have suddenly lost its eye
sight, and was made secure by the dexter
Gus use of stout rope tied around his leg.
Mr. Chadwick thought 1t was an OWL but
was not sure 1t was not hawk. He had
never seen anything like 1t before either
dead or alive. Nor had any of the other
men he called in to inspect his prize. 1t
ugliness and although it looked like an owl
1t had several marked characteristics OF
the hawk. 1t was smaller in the body than
an owl, but larger than an ordinary hawk.
1t was fawn colored, beautifully marked
with spots of lavender and its plumage was
bright and ridescent. A large white crest
terminates at the base of a long sharp beak
and was flanked by two wide round eyes
fringed with white feathers branching out
pearance.
Mr.. Chadwick took the bird down to the
Smithsonian Institution, using a big box as
a cage and was informed by the savants
there that 1t was a Mexican owl of the
species vulgarly described monkey
face" This bird rarely comes as far north
as this latitude of its own free Will. and
the one caught by Mr.. Chadwick probably
escaped from the custody of some one who
had recently returned from Mexico The
scientists told Mr.. Chadwick further that 1t
was an excellant specimen and approved
his expressed intention of adding 1t TO the
archaeological collection a the Zoo.

Old Bibles in Damascus.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
There is an old tradition that the so-called
treasure dome of the Jami ell Kebir mosque
in Damascus contained a number of vaIua-
bic manuscripts relating chiefly to early
Christian times. After years of persuasion,
says a Vienna correspondent of the Paris
Messenger, the sultan was induced to allow
the opening of the dome which had re-
manned closed and carefully guarded for
centuries, experts having assured him that
there were no documents in the collection
affecting the Mohammedan religion. The
manuscripts discovered in the dome were
sent to Constantinople, where it was found
that they included q number of fragments
of the Old and New Testaments in the an
cient Syrian language and characters, to.
gether with fragments of a translation or
the Old and New Testaments in the dialect
of Syro-Palestine Among the latter was
found a translation of st. Paul's epistles
into dialect which was spoken at the time
of Christ. There were also fragments of the
Pentateuch in the Samaritan language,
translation Of Psalm lxxviii, In Arabic. but
written in Greek characters, dating from
the eleventh century. It Is now reported
from Constantinople that the manuscripts
have been handed over by the Turkish for
eign ministry to Baron Marschall. the Ger
man ambassador. by order OF the sultan.

Trees as Forecasters Of Rain.

From the Monthly Weather Review.
1t is true that people often say that the
turning up of leaves Is a sign Of rain. I
have heard the remark many times. but as
far as my observations go the sign does
not seem to be very sure one. There are
many kinds of trees, like the silver leaf
poplars. In fact all poplars, the maple, and
some Of the oaks. which turn their leaves
up whenever there Is a fairly strong, steady
wind. but they do it as much in clear
weather as in rainy 1t has been suggested
to me that possibly the belief may have
arisen from the fact that winds capable of
turning leaves over very often precede or
follow transforms and as people are usually
on the alert when the1 general atmospheric
conditions favor rain. looking for signs TO
confirm the general feeling they have that
1t Is going to rain, it might be that the turn
ing up of the leaves would be especially
noted at such times.

A Medical Rebuke of Lord Wclseley

From the Medical Record.
Among the papers at the meeting Ct the
British Sanitary Institute was a paper on
Typhoid In War" by DR.. Christopher
Chlds, who said the American commission
on the Spanish war found that infected
water was not the only factor in disseminat-
ing typhoid fever, but that personal con-
tact and pollutions of soil were most i'm
portant. He quoted Lord Wolseleys silly
remarks, in the Soldiers Pocket Book" to
the effect that he had never known the san
itary officer to make a useful suggestion.
and recommending he should be left at the
base This explains the destruction of SAN
itary initiative and the dispatch of an army
to South Africa without any sanitary staff.
Lord Roberts holds a very different opinion,
and has publicly testified to the Importance
of sanitary staff in all campaigns.
Resolutions were passed recomm ending
the study of the United States Military
Camp commission and inquiring what meas
ures the war Office is taking to institute a

Crack in a Famous Bell.
From the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
An ominous crack has just been discov-
cred in one of the most famous bells in
the world the so-called La Clemence,"
in the Cathedral of ST. Peter at Geneva.
1t is the bell which was sounded at the
"Escalade' of the dark night of ST.
Thomas Day December q, 1902. when
the 5000 Savoyards made their attack
upon the Rome of Professionalism" The
assailants had trept close to the fortifca-
lions unobseryed. and had planted their
ladders, the Jesuit missioners exhorting
them in whispers Climb climb, every rung
of the ladder Is a step toward heaven!'
when the loud changing of La Clemence was
heard, calling the citizens to arms, and
Geneva was rescued. The Savoyards were
driven back and tne aged Theodore Beza
called the people into the cathedral. where
they sang the 124th Psalm. From 1902 to
1901, on every December II, the now 81
fenced bell has been rung in memory of the
"Escalade."

Gas as Heat, Light and Power.

From Mines and MlncraIs.
The use of gas as a fuel and source of
power has made wonderful strides during
the past decade. and present indications
point to a still more marked advancement
in the methods of production and systems
of lighting, heating and power supply. The
systems of incandescent gas lighting, SO
prevalent and popular at the present time,
depend for their efficiency wholly upon the
heating power of gas, rather than on it's
luminosity. Water gas or producer gas
will undoubtedly be the future heating and
lighting agencies, and along the lines of
their production will be directed most of the
forces of investigation and Improvement.
The future trend of gas production will
probably be in favor of generator rather
purer gases; 1. e.. gases of a fairly constant
chemical composition.
