A SERIES Of OUTRAGES

IT ELENA, Mont, Sept. 27-It has
II developed that the recent at
tempts to dynamite the bridges
and track on the line of the Northern
Pacific between Livingston and Mis-
soula are in furtherance of a plot to
force the railway company TO pay $50
600 for immunity from the outrages.
In August last the company received
a letter demanding $4,000. and it was
threatened if the terms proposed were
not agreed to, dynamite would be used
ON the line.
No attention was paid to the demand
and shortly after the railroad bridge at
Livingston was partially wrecked by
dynamite. and a few nights later an
other stick of dynamite was exploded
near Bozeman under a passing train.
Other letters followed. and the dyna-
miters proposed that the company pay
$4,000. and If it acceded to the demand
il was to carry "a white flag on en-
zines hauling trains and Sept. - was
90 run a light engine from Butte TO
Missoula and at a point on the road It
was TO stop on a signal and an agent
of the company was TO pay over the
money. The company, hoping to catch
the men, pat out the white flags and
on the night agreed upon ran the lighc
engine. Behind it followed another
engine pulling two cars. one was
filled with armed sheriffs and deputies
and the other contained horses ami
blOOdhOunds. The run was made from
Butte to MissOula. but there was no
signal and fl was thought the men had
been scared off. Shortly after the let
ters began TO arrive again from the
dynamiters. making the same demand
and telling the railroad if il agreed
to the terms 10 put the flags on the
engines. This the railroad company
has not done. and in the past two
weeks there have been four attempts
TO damage the line by the use of dy-

There are two systems of numera-

French systems. In the former the
billion is million Of millions, a trillion
a million Of billions, and each denomi-
nation is million times the one pre-

tenn used in the United States, the
billion is a thousand millions, and each
denomination is thousand times the
preceding. Therefore, according to the
English notation, trillion is the
product Of million involved to the
third power, or the number represented
by a unit with its ciphers annexed;
according to the French notation, the

Brain Weights.

NJ Marchand investigated the brains
Of lib persons Immediately after
death. The weight of the brains is in
fluenced by the disease. Diphtheria,
for example, increases the weight. The
brains Of newborn boys weigh on the
average 81 grams, of newborn girls
361. At the end Of the first year the
figures are: Boys, 967; girls, S93. By
the end of the third year the weight of
the brain has tfipled, and from this
epoch it Increases very slowly, espe-
cially with girls. 1t attains its greatest
weight ut about nineteen and one-half
years for men, at about seventeen for
women. The average weight Of the
brain of an adult male Is 1,400 grams,
of an adult female 1875 grams. The
reduction Of weight due to senile afro
ply commences with men about the
eightieth year. with women about the
SEVENTEEN. We way recall for compar-
ison the following facts: The heaviest
brain on record Is that of the novelist
Turgeneff. 2.120 grams One Of the
lightest is that of Gambetta. 1,160
grams. The weight of the brain Is thus
one factor and only one in the compari
son of different men and of different
sexes.

The Suicide Problem.

The prevalent belief that suicide is a
product of the higher civilization is
contradcted by the fact that in India
suicides by opium are committed by
the natives for the most trivial rea-
sons, even children destroying them
selves after being scolded and wives
because husbands complain of their
dinners. There are no regulations for
the sale of poison, and anybody can go
into n bazaar and buy as much as he
wants. trr
