GIRL WIFE WILL WAIT
FOR JAIL TO OPEN
Husband Sentenced to Fifteen Years,
Mrs. Spenser Blames Herself for
His Plight.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 1S.-The
girl-wife of Arthur Spenser, the circus
man who was several days ago COM
mitted to the penitentiary for fifteen
years, nearly collapsed when Informed
that her husband, Of whose past she
knew comparatively little. was the son
of a negreSs.
When Spenser was arrested at Vest
minister for larceny, his young wife was
with her friends in Cincinnati, and 1t
was to prevent the information from
reaching her that he refused to give
any other name than John DSe" I'm
der this name he was tried and con-
yicted, and his obstinacy in refusing
to reveal his real name caused him to
receive a more severe punishment.
He was at last persuaded to tell his
name. He told also Of his life in the
jungles, where he made a business Of
capturing animals for menageries, and
then as q circus man, generally In
charge Of the menagerie. His last
employment was as keeper of the Zoo"
in Cleveland.
His wife arrived on the day he was
taken to the penitentiary, and a very
affecting scene occurred between them.
She promised to wait for him till his
sentence expires. Spenser is forty-two
years old and his wife only nineteen.
DR.. J. e. Muse, Of this city, was in
terested in the case, and visited Spen-
ser in prison. He recognized him as a
playmate when both were boys and
neighbors in Martinsburg, w. Va.
DR.. Muse informed Mrs. Spenser that
her husband was the son of Lucy Pr
per, mulatto woman, she was greatly
agitated, and insisted ON visiting her
husband. She did SO, and returned
treasured. She said she had made him
give up his place in Cleveland, and
therefore felt to blame for his present
plight. She has already set to work
to secure pardon for him.

well supplied with food and we were

canned stuffs, etc., with our new ac-
uuaintances, and It, was pathetic as
we'll as interesting to witness the
eagcrness with which they accepted
these additions to their pantry, which
was never overstocked with dainties.
'Some Of the men whom we met in
the desolate Alaskan wilderness were
those who five or ten years previously
had held high social positions in Paris.
Drowned by long exposure to a severe
climate. their hands discolored, their
nails torn from hard handling of pick,
| ak and dredge, they would scarcely be
recognized as lions Of ballroom.
MANY a romance is worked out to
a bitter end or a successful and happy
termination way up in Alaska; many
a story Of financial troubles, unhappy
love affairs or some Iawless deed
which has doomed the culprit to exile,
can be read in the eyes of these men
upon whose hips long silence has put
an almost unbreakable seal, but whose
faces speak volumes. 10
"There is no better place under
heaven to study human nature, as well
as mother earth, than in that fascin-
atipg land, Alaska.
"Our study of human nature, how
ever, was only incidental with our ex-
plorations. The days fairly flew by in
that new and wonderful land. We
climed mountains, hung from cliffs,
glided down smoothe but treacherous
rivers, tunnelled through great snow
mounds as high as a modern sky
scraper, and even dug our way
through rocky barriers.
Dressed from head to foot in thick
furs, we suffered no more from the
cold than we do at home during the
winter. We washed our faces in ice
water or fat in regulation manner, and
although a dip in the latter was not
at first enjoyable, We soon got to be-
smear our faces with the hard white
oil without a grimace, and really to
feel quite refreshed after a good mas
sage with rough towel.
I'm scaling some of the mountains
we were obliged to tie ourselves to-
gether, and we always Travelled In
company for fear of losing our way.
The awfulness of being lost in that
unknown, unsettled land is almost be-

some and came not to fear the natural
terrors of the place, we never quite
outgrew the terror of losing one an
other.'
Flans for the proposed great Sibe-
rian- american railway to connect
Paris with New York via a tunnel I'M
der Behring Straits, a railway nearly
10000 miles in length, provide for the
starting Of the line on the Siberian
| shore at Irkutsk. The road will then
| traverse the vast plains Of Siberia for
| thousands of miles to Cape East. AT
| that point Behring, Strait is only forty
miles in width, and there the tunnel
| will be constructed. :
1t is proposed to continue the line
from Cape Prince Of Wales westward
ard up the Yukon to- Eagle city, to
connect with the American line pro-
| jected down Copper River Valley to
Valdez. That, with the short water
voyage to Puget Sound, would COM
| plete rail communication between
Paris and New York.
! The estimated cost of the Siberian
| American road is 100000, 600.

Himalayan regions. These sources are
near the base of the steepest textures,
are all submarine except the last three,
and their boundary ridges are mostly lin
ed with volcanic peaks. Both on land
and under the sea, the great earthquakes
seem to be accompanied by deepening
Of the burrows and an elevation of the

lions in the Antilles in 1892, 171S, 1865.
1897, 1902, 1872, 1886 and 1902. The small
earthquakes, Of which 10000 year are
recorded in the world, have no sensible

The body temperature of insects, unlike
that of mammals, varies greatly. A re-
cent investigator, P. Bachmetjew, finds
that when the insect Is at rest the tenn
perature is near that of the surrounding
air, but that 1t rises rapidly with active
movements. The temperature endurance
of insects proves to be about the same as
that of plants. The species tried were

by hundreds Of even thousands of minor
shocks From 800 Italian earthquakes,

when moderately deep, three months, and
when very deep, several years.
