MUST PROVE HE'S ALIVE.
May Be Hard Matter, but He is Go
ing to England to Try.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Ralph Williamson, an Englishman, until
recently an inmate OF the Fergus Falls asy-
lum, will return to England to attempt to
prove to the satisfaction of the British
courts that he is not dead. He has strong
hopes Of succeeding If he lives long enough.
1t will be q long and tedious process, how
ever. and as Williamson is now nearly
sixty years old he realizes that it will be
literally race against death. If he lives
long enough he may prove that he is alive,
and If he dies before he establishes the fact
he will be nothing out, for he is now legal
ly dead. State Agent A. w. Gates has
taken him to New York, whence he will be
deported to his native land.
Williamson left England about a dozen
years ago without telling his family his
destination, and during all the years he has
been in America he never communicated
with his old home, until about year ago,
when he wrote, only to learn in reply that
he had been declared legally dead
He came to- Minnesota soon after his ar
rival in America and took up his residence
in Duluth. In time he grew peculiar in his
ways, and about seven years ago the st.
Louis county authorities consigned him to
the state hospital for the insane at Fergus
Falls.
Williamson has never been violent or
troublesome. His manners were annoying,
but no worse than that. His most notice.
dUio WAS luo pTlQ6 With WHICH
he boosted of his English citizenship. He
resented the thought that he had become
practically a citizen Of America. Any ref
erence to his permanent residence here was
sufficient to arouse a mildly belligerent
TRADE against America and everything
American.
While Williamson was supported at the
expense Of the state Of Minnesota his IA
Their died, leaving considerable property.
No hint of the absent ones existence had
been received since his departure from
home. In regular form of law his kindred
went before the English courts and had
Williamson declared legally dead, thus
vesting his property in his children. Will
liamson's interest in his fathers estate re-
vived about a year ago, and he wrote let
ter of inquiry to England, learning in reply
that he was dead according to English law.
This news seemSto have given the man a
shock His boosted English citizenship had
disappeared with the courts decree, and he
was truly man without a country. From
the receipt Of the letter the man began to
plan for return to his old home. The
proposition to deport him met willing ac-
ceptance on his part. and he will return
with the idea Of fighting for his share of
the estate.

CURIosITIEs OF SOUND.
Everything in Nature Has It's Keynote
and is Attuned to One Sound.

From the Baltimore American
In very high or mountainous regions
sounds become diminished in loudness, so
that a conversation cannot be carried on
in an ordinary tone of voice. In mines or IN
a diving bell the reverse of this is the case
Speech becomes so startling that 1t must
be carried on in whispers to be at all en-
durable to the ear. Sounds of all kinds be-
come musical If the vibrations of air are
uniform and rapid enough. 1t is said that
the puffs of an engine would make a ire
mendous organ peal Of music if they could
be made to attain the rapidity of fifty or
sixty second. Everything in nature has
its keynote, as it were, and attuned to one
particular musical sound This fact can be
very easily verified in everyday life. Stand
near an open piano and speak in an ordf-
nary tone; while speaking you will sudden
ly hear string within reverberate to your
voice. The tick of a watch, the sound OF
every human voice, the bark of dog, the
new of a cat. the noise of wagon, the
roll Of thunder, the fall of rain, the running
OF water; in fact, everything about us can
easily be placed by an attentive ear on its
proper musical note-one of the sounds of
the scale. This is most interesting ex-
pertinent, and easily verified.
1t Is said that the ear can distinguish
eleven OctaveS of sound, but as rule those
made by quick short vibrations are more
easily conveyed. For instance, the whirr
of a locust makes more distinct impression
than the signing Of the wind through the
trees. A whirlwind in it's approach is noise
less; it is only when it strikes some
obstacle that the volume of sound becomes
terrific to us. Then we receive the sec
ondary shorter waves from the destruction
of this obstacle. Tyndall says all friction is
rhythmic. Flames are notoriously sensitive
to sound. They will bend and flicker, and
even respond with a leap of quivering light
to high, shrill sound. This is another in
teresting experiment. If we use a glass
tube with small Jet Of gas, by lowering or
raising it to certain points, we can cause 1t
thetically to its own keynote when sung or
spoken by the voice.
If we could only hear the roll of the vast
oceans in harmony all around US in our
everyday life, we could say with truth, in
deed, what the poet only imagined:
There's not the smallest orb which thou
beholdest but in its orbit like an angel
sings; still curing to the young-eyed cheru-
bim."

bread is the hounds staple food, and 1t is
estimated that four couple of dogs will eat

The Hunters Full Of Fire.
Horses bred in the grass country love to
hunt, as we'll as their masters Almost
without exception they are quick and clever
fencers, full of fire and up to carrying fair
weight. There has been from the beginning
large infusion Of blood in the native
stock. Supplement two or three judcious
thoroughbred crosses and the result is an
animal excellently fit. The best of them

leggy and washy. Those under fifteen
hands rarely show the bone and substance
necessary to keep heavy man well up to
the hounds. Still, many of them are mag
nificent jumpers, and may lead the hunt
with a light rider. such as a boy or wo-
man.
1t is an article Of faith with many south
country huntsmen that red and gray foxes
will not live in the same region. The red
they say drive the gray fellows out, to the
ruin and confusion of the sport, as the red
foxes can run long enough to break down

there are places where red foxes and gray

Little Business Girl.
From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
The youngest merchant in this city, and
perhaps in the United States. is Miss CO.
rinne Snyder, tot of eight years, who con-
ducts successful business In 14th street.
Mrs. Louisa Johnson owned little store
directly across the street from Corinne's
home in 14th street. 1t was this little place
that the child longed to possess, and as
Mrs. johnson was going to retire from
active business Corinne and her indulgent
mamma purchased the store, and Corinne
was Immediately installed as propretress.
The young lady was found serving a Big
policeman with fried eggs, pie and coffee.
1t Is to policemen and firemen that Corinne
is now catering. Her place of business Is
quite near the city hall, and during her
earlier business career the big, blue-coated
city officials learned to admire the tact Of
their little friend and often stopped to drop
brass button into her money TILL" Now
that she is a real business lady the different
city departments furnish not few GUS
toners for the little out-of-the-way lunch
room.

Ancient Legal Statute.
From Law Notes.

The provision Of the Virginia code ex-
empting from service on the grand jury the
owner or occupier of a grist-mill is an in
teresting example Of law which has been
allowed to remain on the statute book long
after it's usefulness and the condition that
called it into being have ceased to exist.
Attention has been directed to it by reason
of the fact that some days ago a citizen of
Norfolk claimed the benefit of this exemp-
tion-the first time it has been claimed. ac-
cording to reports, in many years. When
the statute was passed serious inconven-
fence to the citizens of the surrounding
country might have arisen as a result Of
summoning mill owner from his work, but
the mill owner is no longer SO important
member of the community.

This. of course, is apart from the regular

points of sport than with the pith and mar
row of it, There are hunt clubs in nearly

A collective coat-of-arms for the south
ern country might very well show a hound
rampant upon field Of sedge with hunters
as supporting griffins. From the Potomac
to the Rio Grande. from the Chesapeake to
Oklahoma. there is hardly a considerable
stretch where the art and mystery of fox
hunting Is unknown.
The reason is not far to seek There the
dominant race-note is the English strain,
unmixed and sturdy. which first peopled
Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas. 1t
loved sport no less than liberty. Witness
George Washington setting down in his
diary how he went a-hunting with Jacky

shows him to have been fully a man of his
