gone to the woods not far from the camp.
Nothing more was heard of him until

ments Were strange i'm the extreme. consist
ing of white cotton tunic made rather
long. adorned with pine needles and olive
leaves, emblematic of the forest and uni
versal peace: a gray cloak. legs and feet
completely bare. In his hand he carried
a bamboo stick surmounted by a ball rep
resenting the world. He is a certain Rich
ard Gannasch, glazier of Frankfort, who.
being threatened with consumption. resolv-
ed to change his mode of life at once. and
now walks the world, eating only bread
and fruit and sleeping under convenient
trees After four years of this course he
is so hardened that neither rain. snow,
cold nor heat affects him. He never touch
es wine: he never takes cold; he can walk
seven miles in an hour with ease. and has
been known to do seventy I'm a day. With
a few pence he lives happier than many
kings, and is trying to convert the world
to his views. He has created a real SEN

A CRIMINAL PRACTICE.
Alarming Increase I'm the AduItera-
tion of Food Stuns.

From the Nashville American.
investigations declares that the wholesale
adulteration OF -four, sugar and other ar
ticles of food is responsible for whosesale
destruction of life. He asserts that an
analysis of many staple articles OF food,
including bread and meat, purchased at
random from reputable dealers shows the
use Of dangerous chemicals and large guam
titles of acid adulterants; that even the
best grades of -four are not chemically
pure, while many Of the cheaper grades
are adulterated much as 25 per cent.
These Investigations were conducted in
Chicago.
Food aduiteration has increased at an
alarming rate within the last few years.
and the need of pure food laws that will
be enforced is becoming more and more i'm
perative in the interest of the public health
and honest trade. 1t is urged that some
Of these adulterants comparatively
harmless, and doubtless some are much
less harmful than others, but the use of
foreign substances and deleterious chem
icals in food should be prohibited. All ar
ticles should be sold under their proper
names and the purchaser is entitled TO
know what he is getting for his money.
Ground barytes, corn flour, etc, should not
be sold for wheat flour, ground pumpkin
should not be sold for tomato sauce, oleo-
margarine should not be sold for butter,
milk should not be injured by formalde-
hyde or other chemicals, and the various
articles used as preservatives, coloring
matter and fiavors, .or to add to the bulk
or weight of any article Of food should be
entirely prohibited regulated by law.

Siberian Mining Claims.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The expense of locating and patenting
claims In the Ural and in Siberia is very
little. The size of the claim being optional
with the locator, up to $50 acres, he rarely
finds it of advantage to include more than
200 acres within his lines. The average
cost of locating and patenting such claim.
including all field and camp expenses will
not exceed s125. Particularly noteworthy
throughout the mining code is the effort
to give perfect title and to prevent litiga-
tion. All locations must be patented within
two years and no title or assessment work
is required. All of the court decisions un-
der the mining code show the precedent
that failure to comply with the unimpor-
tant and purely formal technicalities of the
law does not interfere with a mans title
To those who have mined in other parts of
the world, perhaps the most striking fea-
ture is the large amount of land that can
be located in a single claim This liberality
has as a matter of fact, been the chief OBJ
stacle to the progress of Russian mining,
as it has enabled unprogressive men to hold
large tracts of valuable mineral land with
out being obliged to do assessment wol *
thereon.

Tendencies in Zoology.


Zoology also has its fashions. The publi-
cation of the "Origin Of Species by estab-
fishing new standpoint and new prob
lens, led biologists to ever minuter
study Of comparative morphology. Cell life
was afterward the fashion, and the ten
dency has been esoteric, until. the laity has
lest touch with the professional and fails
to appreciate the results which he elabo-
rates in the privacy of his laboratory, sur
rounded by his complicated engines for cut
ting sections and his multitudinous reagent
bottles.
The latest fashion, nature study, as 1t is
called, is likewise revival Of older meth
ods. 1t is a rejuvenescence Of the natural
history of the ancieEts. a return to the
methods of Gilbert White, methods which,
while they have never failed to attract,
have, unfortunately, been sadly neglected
of late by the professional zoologist In so
far as this new revival of natural history
methods may serve to bring about again n
rapprochement of the amateur and the pro-
fessional 1t is to be welcomed, and import
ant additions to our knowledge of the hab-
its and instincts Of animals and the signif-
canoe of these may be expected when men,
specially trained iii the methods of biologi-
| cal investigation and thought, turn their at
! tention to these phenomena.

TELEGRAPH TALK.
Easy to Recognize Indivfdualities
over the Wire.

From McClure's Magazine.
..Telegraphese" is living, palpitating
language. 1t is a curious kind of Volapuk'
a universal tongue, spoken through the
flnger-tips, and in most cases read by ear.
In it's written form telegraphese' OF
Morse, as 1t is called in the vernacular,
is rarely seen. Yet as a vehicle OF express
sion it is to the initiated, as harmonious
subtle and fascinating as the language OF
music itself. Nothing could be simpler than
its alphabet of dots and dashes. Yet Ii has
come to pass that out of the manner OF
rendering this simple code has been evolVeo
a means of communicating thought anu

human voice A telegrapher's Morse is as
distinctive as his face, his tones or nus
handwriting; and as difficult to counterfelt
as his voice or writing. Or TINS inoiVlouai
quality of telegraphese the old war tel
egraphers tell many stories. A confederate,
for example, encounters on the marcn
line of wire which he suspects is peins
used by the enemy. He taps the WIRE
"cuts in his instruments and listens. his
surmise is correct; he grounds Off, one or
the other end, and, trying to disguise ms
style of sending" makes inquiries caicu-
lated to develop important Information.
But the southern accent is recognized In
his Morse by the distant manipulation, who,
indeed may have been a co-worker IN the
days before the war" So the INTRUDER

now on foot for building another railroad
across Asia. The line would pass through
the southern part of the continent. When
it is carried out it will rival the Siberian
railroad in extent and will connect Cairo
with Shanghai. The plan is to utilize lines
already built or projected, filling in the
gaps between them so as to make a contin-
uous railroad from Africa to the shores of
China on the Pacific Starting at Cairo,
the road would cross the head Of the Sinai
peninsula, pass straight through Arabia to
Bassora below the junction of the Eu-
pirates and Tigris, skirt the southern coast
of Persia cross Beluchistan and connect
with the Indian railroad system at Kara
chi, the great wheat port near the mouth
of the Indus. From India the line would
utilize railroads already built or projected
across Burma and advance to Yunnan in
southwest China, which in the course Of
railroad development will certainly be con-
nected by rail with Shanghai and other
east coast cities.
Another project which is likely to be real
lied much earlier is the building Of an
electric line from Cairo to Mount Sinai and
thence southwark through the western part
of Arabia in the direction Of Mecca. 1t
may be a long time before Mohammedan
sentiment will permit the extension of the
season of pilgrimages there would be like

Mohammedans to the vicinity of Mecca, If
not to that city itself.

Catarrh usually starts with cold in the head
and If left unchecked in this climate rarely gets
well of itself.
As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, get
ting deeper and deeper. creeping along the mucous
membranes from nose to throat, from throat to
windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial tubes ana
from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect, one with
another. Hence it is easy TO spread from one part
to another lined with this same membrane. This
is why catarrh in the head affects the throat
and finally the stomach itself, bringing on chronic
catarrh of the stomach, which is most obstinate
form Of dyspepsia.
Everybody Is now well agreed that catarrh is
blood disease and not local one, and the attempt
to by local applications simply gives tenn
porary relfe from the purely local symptoms with
out the remotest effect in staying the progress Of
the disease.
There is new preparation recently onered 10
the public that is apparently destined to do away
with every other form of catarrh treatment.
This remedy is not secret patent med1-
cine. but is large, pleasanttasting tablet, COM
posed Of Bloodroot. Red gum from the Eucalyptus
tree and other valuable and harmless specifics,
which are taken internally and seem to have re-
markably beneficial effect upon the blood and mu-
cous membranes, apparently eliminating the ca
tarrhal poison from the whole system.
These tablets while being pleasant, convenient
and absolutely safe to use, have made cures In
long standing of catarrh that little short

name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh
sufferer who has tried nhalers lotions, ointments,

uselessness will fully appreciate the difference be-
tween a mere palliative and permanent cure after
giving Stuarts Catarrh Tablets an impartial trial.

THE AMERICAN HORSE.
The Best Dressed Members of the
Worlds Equine Society.
Erom the New York Evening Post.
From the New Yorl


To those who deplore the extremes to
which it is pretty generally conceded the
independent American citizen goes in mat
ters Of dress, 1t may be comforting to know
that the American horse, at least. is COM
ing to be looked upon as one of the best
and at the same time one of the most
"properly' dressed horses in the world.
And when 1t is understood that a horse
without the least difficulty on its owners
part may appear in the park and on the
boulevard in attire as shocking as diamonds
at breakfast, 1t will be the better realized
what this means. That there are still fia-
grant violations of the laws which govern,
matters of equine good taste goes without
saving but they merely seryato furnlsn
the contrast by which the general improve
ment is made more marked.
TO the horse show associations. more
than to anything else, may be attributed
this advancement in the proper housings
of the American horse OF fashion and the
correct appointments for park traps and
the road turnouts. In establishing classes
in which the appointments of the entries
must be taken into consideration by the
judges in making their awards the associa-
tion has set definite standard of fashion.
An owner, for example, whose pair Of
brougham horses are turned down (after
the judge has weeded out the entire class
down TO his pair and one other), because
his brass-mounted harness is equipped with
steel instead of brass kidney links, learns
next time to understand the Importance Of
these little niceties of detail. And 1T is the
attention to or the ignoring of these appar-
emily insignificant details that make park
horse either smart or ridiculous.
The black rosettes. for instance. when
used on the brides as emblems of mourn
ing are considered improper unless a plain
black brow band is substituted for the or
namented one originally on the harness.
The saddle housings. II In color, should
likewise be changed. In this city 1t has
become an unwritten law that the rosettes
should be OF the same shade with the car
sriaee trimmings: but in London. and In
paris this rule Is not observed. In those
cities yiolets and other flowers are fire.
