which tells surely of the proximity OF
water When its needle begins to

Oficials of the geoC gical survey

BY its vibrations the presence II

We think the iron masters zeal In

able. Perhaps it will do as much
to perpetuate his fame as anything
he could have done with that sum of
money, although it may be that he
was thinking more of fame than of
peace in making the gift.
However, we can hardly refrain from
Offering a suggestion. The people of

Mr. Carnegie is getting rid of in va

that he should bestow some OF the

In King Menelflx's Land They Use
 Remarkable Boys as Dfscov- erers of Crime.

One of the weird things in Abyssinfa is the lobasha, or crime discoverer These are boys not more than F years of age, who are put into hypnotic trance, and in this state discover the un- known perpetrators of crime, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 M. Ilg, 8 Swiss engineer, who Is en- ployed by King Menelik, tells of almost incredible cases of discoveries of crim- inals of which he had personal knowl- edge. Tn a case of incendiarism in Adis Abeba the lobasha was called to the spot and given cupful of milk into which green powder had been put, and then was made to smoke a pipe of tobac- co mixed with black powder. The boy was then hypnotized. After few min- utes he jumped up and began running to Harrar. For fully IS hours he ran, and so swift was his pace that profes- sional runners were not able to keep up with him. Near Harrar the lobasha4 left the road, ran into field and touched Gala, working there with his hand. The man confessed.
 Another case which Emperor Menelik and M. Ilg investigated was that of a murder and robbery near Adis Abeba. The 1obasha was taken to the site of the murder and put into his peculiar psychic state. For awhile he ran around the place, then back to Atis Abeba to a church, which he'kissed, then to another church, which he also kissed.
 Coming to some water-water breaks the spell--the boy woke from his trance.
 He was again hypnUtized, and off he went. round some huts, and at the door of one of them lay down and fell asleep. The owner of the hut, who was not in, was on his return arrested. He stOutly denied his guilt, but some of the goods belonging to his victim were found in the hut, and"he ultimately confessed.
 The murderer was brought before MeneIik, who asked him to detail his do- ings after the commission of the crime. These were found to correspond with the movements of the lobasha He said that, overcome with remorse, he ran to two churches and kissed them-
 Menelik wanted to have another proof of the Iobasha's gifts. He himself took some jewelry belonging to the empress A lobasha was sent for. He first ran about in the empress rooms, then into Menelik's own rooms-went through other rooms, and finally fell down on MeneIik's bed
 M Fig can give no explanation of this wonderful gift, which seems to be con- fined to a certain tribe, or perhaps racial confederation, the members of which are distributed over the whole of Abys- sinfa.
 It is also worth remembering that a very similar method of discovering crimes was ascribed to the old Egyptians 4000 years ago.

HEART DISEASE AND WORRY.
OveFexertiOn, Either Physical or Mental, Endnngers Lffe in Case
 , of Cardiac Trouble.

The influence of mental emotion on the heartbeat needs no special proof in our everyday experiences. When the organ is healthy the paTpitation is the ordinary response to an extra in duration. In confirmed cardiac dis ease in which the valves are damaged Or the heart walls dilated and weak ened, there is often great danger to life by overexertion, either physical or mental: It is the degree and con tinuousness of excitement which thus work so disastrously.
 The young school-teacher of Green point who fell dead at the end of his first days duty is case in point, says the New York Herald. He was evil dently overwrought with anxiety, and his crippled heart was unable to bear the constant strain. Unlike mere muscular exertion, the mental excit- ability was beyond control, especially when the new environment was the persistent disturbing element. This happens sometimes in the pulpit, on the lecture platform, and even before the footlights Numerous examples have been noted from time to time
 The prevent1ves are in the line of avoiding all overexcitement and of needing all ominous warnings. This is most difficult obviously with mental emotions, as they are not always un- der the control of the will. The man with weak heart who is running for 8 train is compelled to stop in time for want of breath and thus remove the exciting cause of his palpitation. but continual and profound mental per- t1rbation is, alas, too often beyond his ken. Alas! there was no one near the poor teacher to tell him not to Sworry. fr

CAPTIVE BALD EAGLE.
A Vicious Bird That Was Never
 Thoroughly Tanned. "
The Story of It's Mountain Home, It's Young, It's Capture and Its Fight
 for Liberty-TvvO Men
 Wounded.

Early last spring, & pair of bald eagles sat upon huge dead tree near 8 lake in the far west. Beneath them, where three great branches parted, 8 dark mass of sticks marked the spot where for several years the birds had reared their young. The nest was not new one, however; it represented the accumulated remains of several old nests. and apparently the eagles had come to consider the advisability of repairing it for another years service At any rate, they soon flew away, and next morning they were busy bringing new material to the old nesting site. They brought, besides large sticks, turf, the structure was completed it meas ured five feet in height and six feet across the top. For two or three days the female bird sat upon the newly made nest, as though trying it, before she ver- tured to lay her two white eggs.
 One, morning, while the eggs were still unhatched, man came down the lake in a canoe, and, spying the large nest, put ashore to examine it. Seeing that it was occupied, he determined to rob it, and started to climb the tree But he never reached the nest, for the parent birds, screaming fiercely, swooped at him in so menacing man ner that he decided to retreat Per- haps it is well for him that he did not persist in the attempt, for the talons of bald eagle, hurled with all the fury of savage bird having both speed and weight, might easily tear man from his best hold upon tree.
 So the eggs remained, and after fav- ing been sat upon for about month, T am told, were matched. The young. which were covered with grayish down, now claimed the undivided at ttention of the parent birds, who foraged for them all day fong.
 The eaglets grew rapidly, and in the course of some weeks they were ready ito leave the nest and scrambled off into the nearby woods, where their parents still supplied them with food.
 About this time the man who had tried to rob the nest, and who had kept an eye on the birds ever since, landed once more on the shore of the lake. This time he had in his hand a steel trap, which he attached to long cord. Then he climbed a tall, dead stump near the shore, and set the trap, baited with fish, on the top. Next
