CORAL ISLANDS OF THE INDIAN OCEAN.

! many of which exist as flats, bars. OF
mere rings which do not rise more than
| five or six fathoms from the top of the
plateau, others coming within from three
! to seven fathoms of the surface of the sea
others again which form rings and bars
just awash or with 4 foot or two of sea
over the rim, and, finally some rings tha
, are partially awash but with little sand
banks projecting few inches above the
surface. The shane of these Islands is
! not necessarily circular; it varies greatly
and is indirectly affected by the topogra-
ply OF the sea bottom. Some are ellipti-
cal. crescent, or pear shaped, while in
others the lagoons have been formed by
the growth of coral patches-rsing at a
short distance parallel with the outer
reef-which have become Joined.
Islands Shaped by Winds.
The strength of the winds that prevail
among the Maldives has much to do. DR..
Agassiz says, with the shape that the
islands assume. There are none OF the
great breakers which pound upon the
reefs of the central and western Pacific
to fashion the Maldyes. The beaches are
unusually steep and are rarely more than
five or six feet high and the reef rocks
are of the most modern character and are
SO worn as TO indicate that they once
rose three or four feet higher than at
present. The growth of corals in the la
goons of the Maldives is very fue-in
marked contrast with the scanty growth
in the Pacific groups where DR.. Agassiz's
previous expeditions have for the most
part taken him. They are found in great
quantities on the outer slopes OF the ring
like bits of laDd-elther thrust out froi..
the edge or even far up on the little
sharp beaches, and down as far us
depth OF from eight to twelve fathoms.
Altogether the report of DIR. Agassiz's re-
searches which he has in preparation for |
the Harvard Museum OF Comparative |
Zoology promises to be an unusually in
teresting and valuable contribution to the |
literature OF this special branch of natural
history.

In q riot at Fort Morgan. Alabama.
between soldiers stationed there.
Michael Kuehn, a discharged man.
whose home IL in Milwaukee, was
killed and ten or fifteen others were
wounded in the shooting and cutting
which was general for a time. Kuehn
was very popular with the men Of the
fort and there was much indignation
and threats of violence against a man
named Stewart, who was arrested with
q blody knife in his hand.
The fight began upon a sergeant
named Finnigan, his asailants being
rockies" or newly enlisted men.
Kuehn attempted to protect F~innigan,
but presently threw up his hands and
exclaimed, my God! am killed"
He died in a few minutes. He was
found to have received a knife wound
at the base of the brain. Prompt ac-
ton on the part Of the officers of the
garrison prevented the lynthing Of
Stewart.
Kuehn's body was brought to Mobile
and will be shipped home.
About fifty soldiers were drinking
at a saloon called THE Blue Goose"

BY HIS OWN HAND

Well Known Citizen Of Newman Grove
Dies From Self Inficted Injuries.
Singleton b. Cain, a holder Of large
real estate interests in and around
Newman Grove. lies dead at his home,
In the eastern part of town. the result
of his own rash act. Last Monday
night, about s o'clock, he came down
town, having promised his family that
he would meet them at church, where
revival services were being held. He
had passed the church two blocks,
and was in the heart Of the business
section, at the intersection of Fremont
and Hale streets, when he raised his
right hand with a 38-calibre revolver
and sent a bullet into his head. A
few seconds elapsed and the shot was
repeated The few people who were on
the street were attracted by the first
shot, but could not locate the direc-
ton on account of the echo. When
the second shot occurred the man was
seen 10 stagger and fall. and before
any OF those nearest could reach him,
he, with his left hand bracing his body
in a sitting posture, fired two nor
shots in quick succession, only orr Of
which probably took effect.
The man was picked up for dead
and carried to Anderson's drug store.
Physicians were summoned and two
of the bullets extracted, after which
he was carried to his home, where he
partially regained consciousness,
enough to recognize the members Of
his family, but from the time he fired
the first shot until he expired he ut
tered no sound, not eve a groan. He
lived ffty-four hours after infiicting
the mortal wound, dying this morning.
Any of the three shots that entered
his head was sufficient to cause death.
The third bullet was extracted yoster-
day morning by trephining. the opera
tion being done by Drs. Frink and
Mcmahon, the ball being removed from
the opposite side Of the head from
where 1t entered.
Mr.. Cain stood well in this COM
munity, was a prominent church and
Sunday school worker, ardent in poll
tics and temperance, a leader in fra
ternal societies, having membership in
the l. o. o. F., M. w. A., the Rebekahs
and Royal Neighbors.
He leaves a large family in COM
Portable circumstances. He has left
no word, written or spoken, that would
in any way explain his rash act. II
anything was on his mind, worrying
him, he gave no sign He was rather
reticent regarding his affairs, keeping
his own counsel. He was born in Ohio,
March IA, 1856.

and accepted by Mr.. Frye, limiting the
time of the operation OF contracts
made under the provisions OF the bill
to July 1. 1902, and providing that the

WILL SOON RETIRE

Pension Commissioner Evans to be Pro-
vIdodw with Another Position.
There is no longer any doubt that
Pension Commissioner Evans will,
within the next few months, at the
latest, sever his connection with the
pension bureau, to accept from the
president a position which will be a
substantial promotion, but which has
not yet been definitely selected. 1t is
we'll known that Mr.. Evans has the
entire confidence Of the president and
the latter will not consider the Ques-
ton of his retirement until a position
entirely satisfactory to the commits
sioner has been provided. No decision
has been reached concerning a sue
cessor to Mr.. Evans, nor will any ac-
ton be taken until the president is
thoroughly convinced that he has
found a man of the same character and
sterling worth possessed by the present
commissioner in so high a degree.

ALMA HAS A GHOST.
Black CARRIED Apparition faradcs the
street at Night.

Black CARRIED Apparition Faradcs the
Street at Night.
The peace OF MIND of the people OF
Alma, Neb.. has been rudely disturbed
during the past three weeks or more
and all because Of = ghost. Not the
customary white apparelled specter Of
fiction and precedent, but a black
CARRIED apparition. The story is
youched for by half a dozen of the
best men Of the place, men whose
standing and supposed freedom from
superstition would naturally class them
among the doubters. But they doubt
no more.
The heroine of the tale is a woman,
a ghost, who chooses to violate all STU
pernatural precedents by apparelling
herself in black from head to foot.
This may sound like a piece OF fiction,
when talking with an Alma man. Al
most everybody believes firmly In the
apparition because most everybody
has seer it. Some have sought to
capture It, but have failed dismally.
When 1t is pursued the ghost runs.
When it's pursuer turns tail, he be-
comes In turn the pursued. Several
have played in both roles, and just at
present the ghost is permitted to roam
unmolested. II has sought to harm nc
one or annoy any especial person. Its
favorite pastime seems to be to dart
from some dark alley or shadowy cor
ner and rush like the wind past some
lone, belated pedestrian. At ten PAGES
or SO beyond him the specter disap-
pears, vanishes into thin air. That Is
the psychological moment for the hall
to rise. 1t hasn't failed yet.
Several well known citizens vouct
for the truth Of these tales.

AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY
Lukban Would Have Proclaimed Him
self kiug.

sell Mug
Mail advices from Calbayog, Samar,
under date of January 20, contain the
following:
Major Bosales, who recently surrend-
cred at Calbayog, says that II lukban
had been successful in defeating the
Americans In Samar he had intended
to constitute himself emperor and his
minor officers princes under his au-
thority. thereby placing the island un-
der an absolute monarchy. There was
no idea of constituting a republican
form of government. Asked II he con-
sidered Lukban n patriot, Rosales said
he did not. Asked as to how he recon
ciled the monarchial form OF govern
ment proposed by Lukban with the In
dependence he had previously stated
he believed in. he stated something to
the effect that the majority OF Fill
pinos In Samar needed u government
of that sort.
With n sudden burst of frankness
he said that he now believed that the
Americans would give the people OF
Samar az good a government as they
needed and for that reason. al much
as because of the difficulty In obtain
ing supplies, he had surrendered him
self.
