the apparent anomaly of ice formation
by the suns heat. 1t appears that the
peasants Of Pongibaud, in the noun
tains Of Auvergne, are acquainted with
a singular summer formation of ice,
presumably due to evaporation of un-
derground moisture and consequent
fall in temperature. OF this phenom-
enon they have for many years taken
advantage to cool and harden their
cheeses, which are deposited in certain
caverns where this ice is found to be
present, and thus keep good during the
hottest summer months.

INNOCENT LITTLE BOY.

He Paid His Lawyer with the P1uns
der He Stole.
A colony of young lawyers whose
quarters are In the Ashland Block have
been smoking expensive cigars of late
with all the abandon Of millionaires.
The story of how they came into pos
session Of the colony is just going the
rounds of the legal fraternity.
Attorney L. J. McElroy recently re.
ceived call from a middle-aged wom-
an in great distress of mind. Her son,
Tommy, had been arrested for stealing
a package containing 800 cigars from
the delivery wagon Of supply house
and was confined in cell In police
station, with bright prospects for
term in the bidewell. The only hope
Of the mother rested In the probability
that lawyer might find some lOophole
of escape, and she produced enough
money to interest the lawyer in the
case.
Attorney McElroy called upon the
prisoner in his cell. He found him to be
a hard-looking street urchin about ii
years old, with sharp features, and
keen, shrewd eyes.
"Did you steal those cigars, Tom
my?" inquired the lawyer.
Cert, l stole de cigars" replied
Tommy, with swagger.
Tommy, l don't believe you stole
those cigars; didn't see you steal
them," said the attorney, looking hard
at the youthful criminal.
The shrewd eyes contracted, and an
expression Of comprehension came into
the sharp feature.
Nav, didn't steal them cigars" he
replied promptly.
Tommy, how old are your" inquired
the attorney.
Fourteen" replied Tommy, with evil
dent pride.
81 don't believe you are IA, Tommy.
You don't look that DID," continued the
lawyer.
Mop; I'm only 10 years DID," re-
sponded Tommy.
Tommy, do you ever cryT
"CryT Naw," said Tommy in evident
disgust.
81 think you had better cry a little
when you come before the Judge to-
morrow, Tommy" said the lawyer.
"All right" responded Tommy cheer
fully.
The next day when Tommy's case
was called his lawyer asked for a jury
trial. The jury was selected and the
evidence was somewhat damaging.
Then Tommy was put on the stand.
"Did you steal those cigars, Tommy2"
asked the lawyer.
"No, didn't" replied Tommy In a
voice loaded with tears.
How old are you, Tommy"
"I-I-Pm 10 to-to-day. It's me
birthday" sobbed Tommy, and the rest
Of his answers were given between
bursts of affecting sobs. The Jury did
not waste much time They found
Tommy mot guilty"
The next morning Attorney MeElroy
was sitting in his office when he heard
the patter Of feet In the hall outside
and rap at the door. When he opened
it there was no one in sight, but pack
age was placed against the door. Open
ing 1t. the lawyer found 45Q cigars. A
note was slipped under the string. 1t
read as follows:

Extraordinary Discoveries of Crime

Extraordinary Discoveries of Crime
by Hypnotized Boys.
A Swiss engineer, NJ Ilg, In the en-
ploy of King Menelek, the ruler of
Abyssinia, tells some strange things
about that country and one of his most
weird stories relates to the lobasha,
or crime discoverer. These are boys
not more than IL years of age, who are
put into hypnotic trance, and in
this state discover the unknown perpe-
traitors of crimes. OF many of these
almost incredible cases of the hunting
down of criminals he had personal
knowledge. In a case of incendiarlsm
In Ads Abeda 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
pipe Of tobacco mixed with black
powder. The boy was then hypnotic
ed. After a few minutes he jumped
up and began running to Harrar. For
fully sixteen hours he ran, and so swift
was his pace that professional run
ners were not able to keep up with
him. Near Harrar the lobasha left the
road, ran into a field and touched
Gala working there with his hand.
The man confessed.
Another case which Emperor Men,
elek and NJ. Ilg investigated was that
Of a murder and robbery near Ads
Abeba. The lobasha was taken to
the site of the murder and put into
his peculiar psychic state. For a while
he ran around the place, then back to
Ads 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 hypnotized 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 ulti-
mately confessed.

doings after the commission of the
crime. These were found to CORE.

NJ. Ilg can give no explanation of
this wonderful gift, which seems to
be confined to a certain tribe, or per-
haps racial confederation. the men,
bers of which are distributed over
the whole Of Abyssinia.
1t is also worth remembering that
a very similar method of discovering
crimes was aseribed to the old Egyp-
tons 1000 years ago.

CHICAGO, lis, June 27.-Market Is

ter so great an advance, and there
were a few light showers in the north
west. The situation in that direction
naturally makes the market a nervous
one, as the trade is paying more at-
tention at the moment to crop con
ditions than they are to the legiti-
mate situation. There is no change
in the general character of adyices
from the winter wheat business.
With the small stocks of wheat, the
probability of a slow and moderate
movement in winter wheat we are
inclined to think there is not much
money on the short side. On the
whole wheat may easily sell much
higher. We would buy IL on the
breaks. A moderate decrease In the
visible is likely on Monday.
Corn-The market is active and

from the rather stranded conditions OF

The result of the test al the measur-
ing station at Courchesne by Engineer
Follet, OF the international boundary
commission, showed that there are
lnow 1850 cubic feet OF water pass.
ing that station per second.
The gauge at that point has fallen
labout i of a foot since yesterday, but
measurements showed that the SUR
face of the river at that point contains
labout fifty square feet more surface
area than heretofore.
Engineer Toilet says that the river
in the vicinity OF San Marcial is fall
ing and accounts for the present high
volume Of water passing the guaging
station as being due TO the fact that
the channel of the river below I'll
paso is being cut out and that as it
deepens it allows the back water up
the river to come down, which would
naturally make a greater volume OF
water pass the local gauging station.
Reports coming from various sour.
ices up the valley indicate great de-
lstruction as a result OF high water.
All the Mexican and English fami-
lies OF the valley have been compell-
ed to leave everything to fee for their
lives. As a consequence while they
are in places of safety they are with
out shelter or food. Hunger and sui.
fering prevail, and for a time it seem.
ed that no aid could be had.
Earlham vas completely cut off
from any traffic communications and
the question of getting provisions to
the needy refugees became a serious
problem. The Santa Fe railroad is
cut in two places by the river, each
break almost half a mile wide, and
now at Lanark, the entire valley is
swept clean, and man people are left
in needy circumstances. until their
valley homes can be rebuilt.
G. Il. Lawrence of Ell Paso has been
supplying the people in that vicinity
with provisions, shipping to Lanark,
a small station on the Southern Pacific
eighteen miles from Ell Paso. The
people there are living under tents
and trees, the tents having been fur
nished by J. L. Thompson, who also
expended considerable money provid-
ing for the needy. There is no way
to cross the river.

ate. There is no question but that
the crop generally is very uneasy and
late needs hot weather. We regard
the high prices of corn al the most
bearish factor connected with it.
Oats-Market weak and lower. This
also was in sympathy with the weak.
ness in other grain. Receipts are
fair and the demand as good as it has
been unless strongly supported by
strength in other grains we are in.
clined to think oats are high enough
and should be sold.
Provisions-Market heavy and low
er. Receipts continue beyond expec.
tation and the demand is poor. Prop.
erty cannot be realized on except at
declining prices. There was little
speculative activity, but support was
good and indicated no higher prices.
We still think provisions are a sale
