WALLINGFORD.

Up to early last evening no trace of
 A. J. Kantack had been found as near
 as could be learned although searching
 parties had been out all day. A man
 named Hoffman, who lives on the
 plains, states that Sunday afternoon
 about 5 o'clock he was coming up from
 down "Quinnie" way and he saw Kan tack lying on his back on the ground apparently asleep west Of the railroad and quite distance north of the bone
 mill down in the vicinity of the north end O. river swamp, near an old sand road. He did not disturb the sleeper as
 he had no idea but what the man was simply taking nap and of course did
 not know anything about the man be- l ing missed from home. There are sev- eraI who believe that Kantack awoke and started along and probably went down the bank and got mired and
 drowned in the river swamp, which is a dangerous place, especially now when partly covered with leaves.

{ AMONG THE MAIL.
 What Railway Mail Clerk Found.

Strange tales are told of what men in the U. $. Railway Mail service some times find.
 down hearted who found food hint one night in the following way: For months I suffered from chronic indi- gestion, impoverished blood and shat tered nerves, caused by the improper selection of food. Was in the habit of making breakfast of coarse and pasty food, accompanied by the free use of coffee, and these combined to almost shatter my digestive organs.
 1T was employed in the Railway Mail service and assigned to duty on night irregular hours during the night. Ev- erything ate, no matter how light, not only failed to nourish but distressed and nauseated me, and was reduced in weight from 150 to 122 pounds. My memory was fast failing and I was a nervous wreck, unfit for duty and dis couraged, in view. of the fact that I must soon give up my good position.
 "One night when the world seemed darkest to me I read among sack of mail the words Grape Nuts and won- dered if it was something good to eat. Arriving at the end of my run bought a package, and nothing ever tasted bet ter; from that day began to gain mentally and physically. I gained F pounds in two months on Grape-Nuts food and kept on steadily increasing my weight to 147 pounds. tsGrape-Nut improved and steadied my brain and nerve power so that l was able to pass my next examination with good grade and soon got a pro- motion and was changed to a daylight run; there is no doubt in the world that I owe my advance in position and inn proved health to the proper food Grape Nuts in place of improper foods.

can. Late in the evening it was an- nounced, with a great deal of pride, that there would be an American cakewalk. I pricked up my ears and thought that I was about to get real taste of home, but 1t was not the case.
 "A Paris cakewalk is as much like the real thing as an Alleghany River stern wheeler is like an ocean liner. In the first place. instead of the rollicking jig step music that sets your feet a-tingling the music was toned down, made slower and smoothed over. Then the dancers were odd. They were blacked up and wore costumes that were a marvel. They were as far distant as could be from the real thing. Then the dance started. IL reminded me more of a stately minuet than anything else. Instead of walking for the cake they danced, paired off and went through quadrille movements. Of course we all told the host how fine it was and how natural, but the next time I am invited to a Paris cakewalk I won t get a bit of excited. They have simply no conception of the negro dancing and cakewalking."

HUMAN AND ANIMAL MIND.
There is Less Difference Between Them Than Most People Imagine.

The fact may not be fattering to the human race, but it is nevertheless true, as recent scientific investigation proves, that there is very little difference between the minds of animals and those of men. Those variations that exist are those of degree rather than of quality. On the whole the investigator in question thinks that animals certainly have some glim- mering of reason. With regard to the senses of hearing and sight he has found that some animals can hear sounds in- audible to us and can perceive rays of light that are in visible to the human eye. AtnoSphe ri2 vibrations varying from B to 5000 per second strike the human ear and produce the sense of sound. But certain animals can hear vibrations more rapid than ths-thdt is, tEey can hear higher notes than We can.
 In the same way vibrations of the ether impinging on the human retina produce the sense of color. These, measured on the ample scale of millions of millions per second, vary in number from 400 to 700. By the aid of the thermometer and pho- tography, respectively, we have discov- cred the existence of rays beyond the red at one end of the spectrum and be- yond the violet at the other. It has been found that animals are sensitive to rays beyond the violet end. It is, therefore quite possible that the world around us is to animals full of music which we cannot hear, of color which we cannot see and of sounds which we cannot con ceiVe."

SUFFER BY THEIR GREED.
Rapacity of Many Animals Lures
 Them Into Death Draps.

LOnBflan Magazine.
 It may be doubted whether those of us who are able to obtain sufficient food without difficulty can appreciate the crav- Ing for suStenance experienced by sea birds and other animals which have oft en, by the force of circumstances to fast for long periods. Gulls will eat until they cannot fly, and when they find pilchards on board a boat will continue their feast until they can only lie down and gasp A superfiuity of food comes at such long intervals that when 1t does come the avian intellect reels at the prospect, and what seems a horn of plenty brings dire disaster. Seeing that gulls and gannets know no better, We are not surprised to hear of a John Dory, stuffed to the very mouth, floating on the surface of the wa ter, unable to escape from flock of sea birds which have deprived it of its eye sight and will quickly take away its life,
 A snake which thrusts i&g head through the palings to seize an unwary frog and finds Itself unable to draw back again with the frog in its throat, has wit enough to disgorge the amphibian and to deftly draw it through by the leg SD as to swallow it on the safe side of the pal ings, but probably a snake which hap pened to be on the wrong side in com pany with a frog would consume 1t on the premises and so render itself inca pablo of wrigging through the bars.

A GREAT POSSIBILITY

some days ago we had something to say about the big gun at Sandy Hook, which is to throw ball twenty-one miles, and no" The New York Press brings up an entirely new feature in the performances of that bit of ordinance, based on the observations of man with a taste for figuring out things. He says he saw the gun fired three times and that ir each instance the ball described a curve to the right equal to one-fifth of a degree Then he adds:
 Now. supposing that this Reflection from straight line had been continued throughout the entire range of the gun, which is said to be between twenty and twenty-one miles. what would have han pened? The projectile would have des- crtbed complete circle, coming back to its starting point. If this could be safely accomplished in practice 1t would mean great saving, as the sheels could be repeatedly used.
 Evidently the makers of that pop-gun have unwittingly solved a problem that has been troubling sportsmen ever since guns were invented, in all probability. They have wanted gun that would shoot around a hill and here they have it.. All that Is necessary Is to regulate the dehection so that it will describe just the right curve. and then hiding behind Q stump will be wasting time, and an enemy behind a hill will find himself bowled over without knowing where the ball comes from.
 But there Is one possibility in connec- ton with this performance that we sup pose hasn't been thought of. If this mans calculations are correct, 1t occurs to us that the antics of the bullet are going to make things very interesting to those who are doing the shooting. If they fire at an enemy in front and the ball misses the enemy and comes back and hits the marksman in the rear, what is he going to do about 1t? The shooter will be in more danger than the shootee if we have 1t down right, and will need breastworks and backworks both, if he is to be assured any measure of safety. That's a point worthy of serious con- sideration, isn't it?
 The one good point in connection with the business as 1t appears to our mind, will be the saving of ammunition. It costs over one thousand dollars to fire the piece, a large portion of which is the cost of the shot or she'll If the latter will always come back when 1t fails to score, and some arrangement can be made to catch it. they will have a kind of continuous performance at reduced cost. We suspect that the balls would get red hot during their revolutions, but that would make them more effective if they should happen to hit anything.
 Evidently there are wonderful possi- biities in this thing, and We suggest that they set one of the pieces out on prairie and give it fair trial If the ball comes back-winds itself up, so to speak another great advance in gunnery will have been scored.

It Was Sidetracked.

GreenYtlle Advocate.
 The bill which carried an appropria- tion for the Confederate Home at Noun tain Creek was still on the calendar of the House when the Legislature ad- journed for the recess. This bill by the passage of which the Legislature would have endeared itself to the lovers of the lost cause was. in other words, side tracked so that the work of salary-rais- ing could go on unimpeded. All humane people in the State were calling for the passage of thls bill but their voice sank into insignificance when it came in con tact with the cry of the office holders and clerks at the Capitol in Montgomery for salary raising. and now the bill may never pass as the cry will be upon the Legislature reconvening, We have ap- propriated so much already that the treasury cannot stand any further drain" :" This Is indeed a sad commentary on wisdom and patriotism of the majority leaders in the Legislature.

tighten us upon the subject of where Noah procured the nails with which to construct the ark? 1t may be that he used the toe nails of the animals. but we don't believe 1t and want to get this matter forever settled in our mind. It is worrying us.
 Why should our contemporary be vexed over such simple matter? Long before Noahs day Tubal-Cain was ''an in- structor of every artihcer in brass and iron," as the Mosaic account informs us, and certainly some of those who were instructed by him were competent to make the nails and other iron work need ed in building the ark. We don't sup pose they had any machines to cut them, but they were hammered out just as they continued to be made up to a very few centuries ago. There need be no vexa- ton of mind as to where the nails came from.

UNCLE sAM's REINDEER FARM
There are Now Six Thousand Pretty Animals in the Herds.
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
 How many boys and girls are there who know that their Uncle Sam, the nick name of the Government of the United States, is engaged in the raising of rein deer? Such is the fact. Shortly after the gold fever broke out in Alaska the need was felt for some animal accus- toned to cold weather and fleet of foot as well to take the places of horses, which do not thrive in that region of snow. So few dozen reindeer were brought from Northern Europe and sent out there to see If they would answer the purpose. The experiment was con sdered by great many persAns as being more curious than useful at the time, and good deal of fun was poked at it. But the introduction of the animals into Alaska has made q great many Eskimos self-supporting and has saved small vil- lages from tn" annual recurrence of star vation times lich used to be the rule.
 The manner in which the reindeer is dis tributed is this herd of deer, num- berng usually 1O0. Is loaned by the Gov ernment to a mission station. The Gov ernment reserves the right to call on the station for the return of the same number of deer as 1t loaned After three years.
 The missionaries select the best natives of whom they know and take them as apprentices in the reindeer herding and raising business. At the end of a year of training each apprentice gets three deer as a loan.
 If he takes good care of these for four years and has bred deer from his orig inal stock the station lends him fifty deer and he may then begin to sell sur plus reindeer or kill them for food But all this time he must keep the original number of deer Tn good condition. If any die he must be breeding others to take their places
 If he has proved faithful after the end of twenty years the Government gives him the entire herd So by good. hard work the Eskimo can become self-sup- porting in a few years and in twenty years he can become a rich man.

THE NEW WAR VESSELS.
Plans Must Be Prepared for the
 13,OOO-Ton Battleships.

Washington, March 4.-There are no 13.- 0t0-ton battleships such as provided for last night in the conference on the naval bill, on the naval lists at this time.
 It is thought at the Navy Department that instead of projecting a new type which would consume a deal of time the board of construction will recommend a vessel of the Massachusetts type with perhaps about tve feet more freeboard, making her a better sea boat, but with about the same battery of four twelve inch guns in the main turrets, eight S. inch guns in the corner turrets, and about twelve 7-inch guns in the side bat tery. These plans will be worked out in a few weeks.
 As for the big 16,OOO-ton ships provided for, the Department will adopt without change the plans of the Connecticut type and the specifications and plans will be issued at once

SENSIBLE SENTIMENTS.

Not all those who believe in unions and strikes are as unjust, illogical and intol- erant as some labor advocates are. For sents labor on the Coal Strike Commls- sion, declares that he believes in the justice of strikes, although not believer in what are called sympathetic strikes Then he adds:
 The worker has a right to quit or to strike in conjunction with his fellows. Having exercised that right he has neither right nor license to destroy or damage the property of the employer. Neither has he any right or license to intimidate or use violence against the man who chooses to exercise his right to work If the employer rids himself of the service Of an employe either by dismissal or by filling the place where he struck or quit, the employer has no right, legal or moral to hamper or defeat that mans efforts to earn a living in the service of another em- ployer by secretly blacklistng him. The employer who uses the blacklist cannot be heard to complain that the employe uses the boycott. And the employe who uses the boycott beyond the exercise of his own free will to trade where he choose, cannot be heard to complain that the employer employees the blacklist.
 There is a distinct and rational recogni- ton of the rights of both capital and labor. It sets forth briefly and compre- hensively what all unprejudiced and fair men should willingly subscribe to. and which would reduce bitterness and law lessness to a minimum. Although we really have never found any tenable reason for strikes, we admit. and have always admitted. that a man has a right to quit work when he will, provided he does not violate any contract or agree ment by quitting; but we do not admit that he has any right to force others to quit work or try to prevent them from continuing to work, if they prefer to do so Boycotts. under whatever name. are wrong, and blacklisting is no better. If capital and labor would both be governed by such sentiments as those expressed by Mir. Clark, we would hear of few ex- cesses or deeds of violence.
