MURDER IN CHINESE THEATRE.
Member of the Orchestra Shot in Full
View of the Audience.

San Francisco, Cal.-While a play
was on in a Washington street Chinese
theatre before an audience which
packed the house, a Chinaman, with
a revolver in his hand, stepped out
on the stage from side door and
fired four shots at Gee Ah Gong, who
was in the orchestra beating the
cymbals. Gong died half an hour
later.
Several hundred citizens who had
been enjoying the play made mad
rush for the door when the shots were
fred. The murderer disappeared.
The audience thought that the high
binders had entered the place to work
a wholesale destruction Of lives. The
police have no clue to the assassin, as
the victim belonged to no society and
was not involved in the feud now rag
ing in Chinatown. .-

WEALTH THROWN AWAY.
Much of Value lis Cast Into the Waste

are emptied by the iapitors in ofnces

But suppose you could add to tnat
tidy income by possessing yourselt OF
the stamps that are dropped into the
waste baskets by mistake. There would
be another fine item in your income.
Suppose, then, if your conventional
mind will permit you to stray SO Tar

AUSTRIAN TRAMP's SCHEME.
Diverted by Sympathetic Farmers He
Resorts to Trickery to OBtain
Transportation.

Bohemia possesses a specimen OF
the genus tramp which it is doubtful
if even America, its native habitat, ecan
duplicate. He is young man quite
well known in the neighborhood OF
Kolin, and who had record for pedes-
trianism that gained him much ad-
m1ration and fairly full stomach
most of the time, reports the New
York Journal.
Through being overfed by sympa-
thetc farmers and village people the
man recently became too fat and in-
dolent to put one foot before the other.
Patience having ceased to become q
virtue with the people of Kolin, the
youth found it necessary to move on
Being too tired to walk, he con-
ceived the audacious idea of getting
free railroad audacious because
it is only in America that railway en-
ployes wink at the schemes of tramps.
Having decided to go to Vienna the
young man calmly went to the police
station in Kolin and gave himself UP
as the murderer of a young woman in.
the Austrian capital. He was prompt-
ly seized and transported in comfort
to his destination, where it was soon
discovered that no such murder had
occurred.
A short term in prison for the techs'
nical offense of contempt of court wasl
all that the tramp had to pay for his
-.ae. He showed his appreciation by
smiling broadly when sentenced.

TESTS OF THE HUMAN VOICE,
Over the Telephone Wire One Cannot
Always BE Certain of the Per-
SON at Other Fad.

Many persons imagine that the hu-
man voice is as easily recognizable as
the human countenance; they think
that they could never be mistaken in
the voice of their friends, but in the
branch telephone exchange, of big
business house the other day an ex-
pertinent proved that this was not ell
together true, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord One of the employees of the
house took his place at the ex-
change, and, as various persons called
for various members he guessed who
was speaking. Out of ten guesses six
were wrong. He erred in the case of
his own brothers voice, mistaking it
for that of the proprietor. He was
sure that he had detected a fellow
clerk on account of the pronunciation
of coffee cawfee''-that he believed
to be peculiar to this person, but the
event proved that there were others
in the building who also pronounced
coffee in that odd way. The girl at the
exchange said that she never at
tempted to tell people by their voices,
especially over the phone. when you
make mistake it is so embarrassing, -
she murmured. "a roguish voice says:
DO you know it is?' You answer:
Yes, it's Harry Whereupon the dis
appointed reply comes: No, it is
Jack. That makes you feel small

EYES ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
The Optics of Some Animals Are Re-
markabIe for This SinSu-
lar Power.

The eyes of an animal can only work
together when they can be brought to
bear upon an object at the same time;
so that, as rule, the eyes of a fish
must work more or less independently,
says Nature. This is sometimes also
the case when the eyes can cooperate,
as anyone who watches a plaice or
other fiat-fish in an aquarium will
soon discover. .-:r -@s. .@..
This is true, too, of the curious
bullying optics of chameleon, which
roll round, swivelwise, in somewhat
aimless manner. When they do con-
verge it is bad for the insect upon
which they fix themselves.
Many animals possess more than
three eyes, which do not all act to-
gether A leech, for example, has ten
eyes on the top of it's head, which do
not work in concert, and kind of
marine worm has two eyes on the
head and row down each side Of the
body. Some lizards have an extra eye
on the top of the head, which does not
act with the other two. A bee or
wasp has two large compound eyes,
which possibly help each other, and
are used for near vision, and also
three little simple eyes on the top of
the head, which are employed for see
ing things long way off.

ELECTRICITY A PANACEA.
According to a French Medical Au-
thOrity VIII BE Medicine of
the Future.

Electricity win be the sole medicine of
the future, according to M. D'Arsonval,
a we1l-known savant of the Psychology
ical institute of Paris, says a report
from that city.
At a recent netting of the institute
M. D'Arsonval made an exhaustive ad-
dress on "The Action of Electricity
Upon Human Beings" He spoke of the
effect OF sudden shocks of electricity, as
we'll as of the slow method by which it
pervades the system without the pa
TENTS consciousness. He showed that
electric treatment is excellent for GER
tain maladies of the skin and that it has
a powerful effect on microbes and &C
celebrated circulation and respiration,
without fatigue to the person operated
ON. Moreover, what is most important,
he said that it acts strangely On cellular
vitality. Electricity, added the speak
er, will bring about therapeutic rev.
olution.
The Psychological institute, which
has been in existence about three years,
counts among it's members some of the
most conscientious and brilliant men
of letters and science in France, among
them Ribot, Sully-Prudhomme, SeaiIles,
Trades, Duchaux and BrouardeI.

PRESIDENT LOUBE 7
French Ruler Has Affected After
ton by International Visits. be-
A. Little Cosby Talk About the Pres
emit Head of the French Republic
and His Predecessors

in Office.
The recent prominence given to M.
Emile Loubet, the seventh president of
the third French republic, because OF
his recent international visits, lends
new interest to him and to those who
have occupied his position before him.
Of all the seven presidents there was
not one whose advent looked less prom
tsing that that of M. Emile Loubet.
Yet it is an absolute fact that not one Of
mis- six predecessors managed to secure
as much goodwill as he from all par
ties in the state. The kindly feeling to-
ward him is not due to transcendent
abilities or boldness of initiative on his
part, for he lays no claim to either of
these qualities-if qualities they be now
Adays in any but an autocratic ruler.
But there is a bonhomie about the man
which every one Of his predecessors
lacked; that which passed muster as
such with Jules Grevy being more or
less palpable imitation, according to the
degree of propinquity from which one
had the opportunity of judging. Gam
BETA, who approached very closely,
called the third president of the repub
lie 'Machiavel-Prudhom other
words, spurious good sort"-and he
was not far wrong. ->
Grevy suffered, moreover, from the
besetting sin of nearly all F,renchmen
springing from the middle classes,
though perhaps not to the same extent
as Thiers-name1y, righteousness, a
fault from which Loubet is particularly
and remarkably free. Accident-for it
would be idle to calS~it anything else
