Frost on ths woon

NEW YORK, October ia special
to the Press from Cambridge, Mass,
says: Professor w. H. Pickering of
Harvard made a very valuable discoV-
cry during the lunar eclipse last night
that confirmed a theory of his with re-
gard to the crater Lime He found
that during the period of maximum
darkness, when the heat Of the sun
was most nearly shut off from the
moon, the bright area around the crater
was visibly increased. This demon
strated positively, he says, that its
bright area is due to hoar frost instead
of reflections from rocks. The spot in
creased in area noticeably as the suns
rays were shut off by the shadow of
the earth, indicating that the temper
ature was lowered Professor Picker
ing says that this was all he wanted to
obtain working basis for an investi-
cation of the surface of the moon.

RUSSIA MAKES
A GRAVE MOVE

LONDON. October 20.-That the re-
cent reports of Russia's desire to estaD-
fish direct relations between st. Peters
burg and Cabul (Afghanistan) were
we'll founded was admitted by the I'm
der Foreign Secretary. Replying to
question, Lord Cranborne said the
British government had received a
communication from the Russian gov
eminent proposing that direct relations
be established between Russia and
Afghanistan in regard to frontier mai
ters. Russia set forth that the Lew
relations would not have place here,
as the Russian government maintained
it's former engagements and continued
to consider Afghanistan outside of the
sphere Of Russian influence.
The British government replied that
it was impossible to consider any
change in the existing arrangements
without more precise information re-
garding the proposed relations, the
limitations to be placed on chem and
the means of insuring the observance
of such limitations. Lord Cranborne
added that no answer had yet been re-
ceived to Great Britain's reply.

Decision for Germany.

NEW YORK, October 22.-King Os-
car of Sweden and Norway has decided
the Samoan controversy in favor of
Germany, says~a dispatch to the Trib-
une from Washington. This fact be-
came known on the return of Mr.. Grip,
the minister of Sweden and Norway,
from long visit to his home. Mr..
Grip called at the State Department
but did not, of course, disclose the de-
cision of his sovereign, which must be
presented simultaneously to the three
powers concerned. The announce
ment will be astonishing to the gov
ernments of the United States and
Great Britain, which were confident
that they would establish fully the le-
gality and propriety of the joint land
ing of marines at Apia in 1899 to sus-
tain the decree of the Samoan supreme
court and end the revolution.

EARTHQUAKES IN

CHATTANOOGA (Tenn.), Oct. 1S.-A
distinct earthquake shock, accompanied
by muffled rumbling like distant
thunder, was felt here this afternoon
at o'clock The shock was of several
seconds duration and shook houses
very perceptibly. Dishes and windows
were ratified and many people rushed
from their homes in fright
At Lafayette, Ga, large vases were
thrown violently from the msntel in
enc residence. On the streets the shock
was felt severely, the earth seeming to
heave under the feet of pedestrians. Re-
ports of quakes have been received
from Trion, Ga, Sewaunee, Tenn, Mont

other towns in Tennessee and Georgia.

oANN1BALs IN SAMOA.
Fairy Tale of Returned Virginian
Traveller.

RICHMOND (va.), October 4.-E. M.
Taylor, a well known Manchester man,
whose five years absence from home
without any explanation led his family
to mourn him as lost, has just re-
turned and tells thrilling story of his
three years Imprisonment by cannl-
balls in one of the Samoan islands.
That Mr.. Taylor escaped death is mi
raculous, as several of his companions
were instantly slain upon capture.
His escape is due to the fact that one
of the Chiefs daughters-Yahow by
name-became enamored of him, and,
as in the case of John Smith, interced-
ed for his life, and was granted the
boon by her father. Mr.. Taylor, now
ever, was imprisoned for three years
finally escaping and, swimming two
miles, reached a tramp oyster sloor
bound for Honolulu.

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Dandruff, Which is a Germ Disease
Kill the Germ.

Falling hair is caused by dandruff,
which is a germ disease. The germ in
burrowing into the root of the hair,
where it destroys the vitality of the
hair, causing the hair to fall out, digs
up the cuticle in little scales, called
dandruff or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without killing the dand-
ruff. and you can't cure the dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ.
Destroy the cause. you remove the
effect" Newbro's Herpicide is the only
hair preparation that kills the dandruff
germ. Herpicide is also a delightful
hair dressing.

he got tired of laughing. he kept per-

How TO Make an Eggshell Arch.
By MEREDITH NuGENT.

II you boys and girls want to have

only in size to the size of the pasteboard
box you are able to procure. 1t is the
easiest sort of an arch to make, too,
and so beautiful. especially by candle
light, that you will all be surprised at
the result of your eggshell architecture.
When you get ready to start to work
cut down your pastboard box with a
penknife until 1t is only about three
inches deep all around. Then fasten
this firmly In an upright position to the
end of the table, or better still, to the
cover of the box itself. With a pencil
draw three arches, one large and two
small ones, on the pasteboard and cut
these out with penknife Then take
some strips Of pasteboard three inches
wide and fasten these all around the
insides of your three arches to serve for
its sides. After you have done this get
a piece of candle. some sealing wax
and all the eggshells you have, and set
them near by the pasteboard frame, so
as to be convenient to you while at
work. AS soon as everything is ready
hold the sealing wax in the candle
flame. and when this is about to drip
