Found a Mans Head.

Wichita, March 1.-THE head of a
man apparently about So years old was
found by Levi Hendren on his farm, at
Clearwater, this county. The grewsome
object was in a good state of preserva-
ton. Great excitement prevailed in the
village and the county authorities were
notified. Later DIR. Warren, a local
physician, stated that he had brought
the head from ST. Louis and had placed
it in the manure so that it would the
more readily decompose. The people,
however. will not accept his statement
and think a crime has been committed.

-LYDDITE A BOOMERANG. .
Dangerous to All Unless It Strikes
the Right Place.

London, March 1.-THE extraordinary
effect of lyddite has been revealed by
the statement that during the recent
experiments with the hulk of the old
battleship Belle Isle, shells containing
that explosive refracted fragments upon
the attacking vessels, which were 300
yards distant. Other fragments dropped
close to a gunboat situated 1900 yards
abeam of the line of fire. The deduc-
ton drawn is that when lyddite is used
there is danger for a friendly vessel at
least 1000 yards away. The Outlook
compares lyddite with boomerang and
points out that to be of any service it
must be dropped right on board hos
tile vessel, ''as if the projectile does
not hit the right place, it VIII fly back

lieve, ''oak finished"-are both excel
lent, the latter being particularly adapt
ed to the reception of color. Therefore
in executing the design herewith given
use the ooze if you intend only to burn
and the "oak" if you wish to add color.
Stretch the skin tightly upon draw
ing board or pine table and fasten
down with thumb tacks. Describe up
on it with compasses a circle sixteen
inches in diameter and within it an
other three inches smaller to mark the
inner edge Of the border. Place the
traced pattern upon it so that its point
just touches the circumference OF the
outer circle and transfer carefully with
blue impression paper, starting with
the outer line, which bounds the de-
sign, and work inward.
With the combination point and a
slow, free stroke burn in outline the
full blown primrose, which is the CEN
trail unit Of each sixth OF the hexagOn.
Here and there vary the weight Of the
line to give suggestion of texture
and burn the dark spots in the center
with succession of parallel lines. The
long cup of the primrose should be
done in little heavier line and shaded
with short oblique lines where it shows
beneath the petals. With several
strokes, all following the same direc-
ton, trace the midribs Of the leaves,
making them wider at the hem than
at the apex. Then outline the leaves.
The smaller irregular veins demand a
light. broken stroke, which becomes
stronger as it approaches its parent
vein, into which 1t must flow with a
continuous curve. Let the shading in
the buds and half blown flowers be
delicate as possible, the merest touch
of the burner being sufficient. Darker
the stems and leaves little on the left
side to give feeling Of roundness and
with heavy, even stroke put In the
outermost line, which bounds the de-
sign, about an eighth Of an inch away.
If no color is to be used, cut the mat
out on this outline and scorch the raw
edges into harmony with the design.
II "oak finished" leather is used and
color desired, mix turpentine with the
oil colors as you paint to thin and dry
them.

eulpable negligence OF any person

this chapter, does not constitute the

The indictments are the first for
manslaughter in any Christian Science
healing case in New York state Here
tofore when any "healers," Christian
Science or otherwise, have been brought
to trial in cases where death ensued
after their ministration it has been
either under section 2SS for unlawfully

the illegal practice of medicine. Man
slaughter in the second degree is pun
ishable by imprisonment In the states

years or by fine not exceeding $1,000,
or both.
The grand jury. besides handing in
indictments in the Quimby case, made a
rresentment covering the practice of
Christian Science healing in Westches-
ter county. The presentnent calls at
tention to the EVIL existing in the
county of Westchester, which we deem
a source of danger to the health of the
community The grand jury says that
it has had it's attention called to the
treatment OF infectious and contagious
diseases by persons who are not regu-
larly licensed physicians or surgeons,
where the rules of the state board of
health have been violated and defed.
The Christian Science healer indicted
mingled freely with other people after
visiting this child, thus being a menace
to the public health.
The people are not yet ready to APP
prove Christian Scientists treatment
where they violate all the rules of
health and the laws enacted for the care
of malignant diseases, and 1t may rea-
sonably be expected that the indicted
individuals will be called upon to suffer
whatever penalty may be imposed.
