V INDICTM N T
Grand Jury Returns True Bills In.
vOIvinE Six Persons.

vOIving Six Persons.
liberating for several weeks over q
mass of documents submitted by the
post office inspectors the federal grand
jury has returned seven indictments in
postal cases involving six different per
son All the indictments were kept oft
the public record, and both the officials
of the District attorneys Office and of
the post office department refused to
divulge names or details of the indict-
ments until the parties indicted are ar
rested. The identity of the indicted
individuals thus was left a matter of
conjecture.
1t is expected that arrests will be
made today and that the post office de
partment will then have some an
nouncement to make. The grand jury's
action probably marks the beginning of
the end of the investigation that has
been in progress since the middle of
last March.
Postmaster General Payne and Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
received word of the grand jury's &C
ton, but both officials refused to di-
vulge details pending official notifica-
ton of arrests.
Leopold Stern, the Baltimore con-
tractor, who disappeared from Balti-
more before he could be arrested, has
been located at Toronto. George w.
Beavers, the former head of the salary
and allowance division, has surrendered
himself to the New York authorities.

Paths In Africa.

1t may be surprise to the unen-
lfghtened to learn that probably no ex-
paoref, Id forcing his passage through
Africa, has ever for more than a. few
days at 4 time been off some beaten
track. Every village is connected with
some other village, every tribe With the
next tribe, every state with its neigh
Dor and therefore with all the rest.
The explorers business is simply to
select from this network OF tracks,
keep u general direction and hold on
his way. They are verftable foot
paths, never over d foot in breadth,
beaten hard and netted beneath the
level of the forest bed Of centuries OF
native traffic.
Like the roads of the old Romans,
these footpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and
valley, never shying at obstacles, nor
anywhere turning aside to breathe.
Yet within this general straightfor-
wardness are singular ecrentricity
and an indirectneSS of detail And
the reason is not far to seek. If stone
is encountered. no native will ever
think of removing it; he simply walks
around it. 1t would never occur to him
that that stone was a displaceable OBJ
ject and that for the general veal he
might displace it.

The Rocking of Lake Erie.

The $50 mile trough Of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction of the
west to southwest winds which prevail
in that part of the country. Thus the
lake offers an excellent opportunity for
studying the effects of the wind upon
a large body of inclosed water, and
very interesting these effects some
times prove. Rhythmic gusts produce
rocking motion and great blows from
the west or southwest sweep the liquid
body of the lake eastward and some
times cause rise Of eight feet or more
at Buffalo in the course of a few hours.
AS soon as the maximum force of the
gale has passed the water swings back.
Continued BOOKINGS are observed on
days when the strength of the wind
fuctuates,-Youth's Companion.

a whales appetite is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists of je!lytish. He
has simply to open his mouth and pad
die along eisGrely in order to take in
jellyfish by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con-
trary, captures huge squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the whalebone whale, he must be con-
stantly on the lookout for food; other
wise he would starve- As many as
fourteen seals have been taken from a
thirty foot killer" Other fishes of
enormous appetites are not uncommon.
The bfugtish, for example, thrives ON
sardines and other small fish. Assum-
ing that one bluefsh eats ten small fish
a day, it has been figured that it re-
quires 100OO,0OO,OOO sardines to feed
the 100000. 600 btuetish on our coasts
every summer. Most curious of all
eaters is the hydra strange creature
that can be turned inside out without
impairfng its appetite or its power to
eat.-Scientitic American.

A Ghost Test.

When you think you see ghost,
how can you tell whether it really is
a ghost or not? a recent writer gives
the following scientific method: we
assume that person sees an appari-
ton. 1t may be Objective e., having
existence outside the Observers mind
or merely creature of disordered
brain, subjective. The seer, while look
ing at the vision with both his eyes,
gently depresses one eyehall with his
foretinger from outside the top eyelld,
so causing squint. If objective,
whether bogus or not, two outlines of
the ghost will be seen. but one, of
course, if it be subjective. One may
prove this by trial any time with any
object, near Or far. mention this be-
cause of the many nervous and brain
wearied people who see spooks and to
whom it would be better that they
should know that the trouble is with
in themselves and so seek capable
doctor than continue to be haunted, as
they believe, by the supernatural"
