INSANE MAN VISITS
GOVERNORS OFFICE

Denver, Nov. 15.-Insane, evidently,
from the study Of labor problems,
John Otto yesterday afternoon sought
the Office of Governor James H. Pea
body, armed with a miners candlestick
more than foot in length and ground
to a razor edge. This visit followed a
long series of letters with which Otto
has besieged the governor since Octo-
ber 18th. So incoherent were the let
ters, that the Pinkertons were given
charge of the case and had been sbad-
owing the man for weeks. His latest
letter to the governor, received Friday,
gavo rise to suspicious that he would
try to see the governor and possibly
attempt to do him personal injury,
hence arrangements were made for his
reception and arrest. The letter said
that he would visit the state house at
3 O'Clock yesterday.
Governor Peabody was not in town,
having gone to attend the football game
at Golden, but TN his chair sat Deputy
Sheriff Leonard De Lue. with Under
Sheriff Felix O'Neill and Assistant Su-
perintendent E. E. Prettyman Of the
Pinkerton agency near at hand.
According to arrangement. Otto was
admitted to the governors private Of
flee with letter for the governor. As
he extended the letter to Governor"
De Lue that Official snapped a pair Of
handouts upon his wrists and he was
a prisoner. A search revealed the dam
gerous-looking candlestick but no other
weapon.
The man confessed that he had
served time for making q similar visit
| to Governor George Pardee Of Califor-
mia at the state house in Sacramento a
little more than yeaB tGo He said
he was detained seven months In q hos
pital at Eureka. From his incoherent
words and strange actions 1t Is believed
, that he 10 mentally unbalancsd on the

Curious Case of Mind Reading.
A very curious case is related in the
Annales Psychiques. A child of seven
years, in good health, lively and robust,
belonging to equally healthy parents,
showed strange facility in learning
all that his mother taught him. He re-
cited the whole multiplication table at
the first trial, solved instantly compli-
Gated problems and made not single
mistake in his first spelling lesson. 1t
was soon realized that the child did not
calculate by himself and did not spell
of his own accord. He was reading
his mothers mind, and he did this even
when his eyes were shut and his back
turned, provided only that she were
near him. One day she had the idea
of interposing screen between her
and the child, and there was no more
calculation, no more spelling. The
screen was sufficient to prevent the
child from reading the mothers
thoughts.

Temperature and Atmosphere.

Temperature and Atmosphere. :
That a body can acquire during the
night different temperature from
that Of the surrounding atmosphere
has been demonstrated. by an English
physicist. If a thermometer Is taken
from the window, wrapped in cotton
and placed on the ground it's mercury
will descend seven or eight degrees.
Vegetables similarly situated, and be-
ing bad conductors, may freeze at a
time when the thermometer does not
mark the freezing point proof that
the cold experienced by the plant may
be entirely different from the tempera-
ture of the surrounding air. This low
temperature of plants, however, only
occurs when the night is clear, since
at this time the plant sheds it's heat
throughout space and becomes chilled,
whereas IL the night is cloudy the
phenomenon does not occur. This
gives rise to the popular superstition
that plants and buds are frozen by
moonlight.

objected, and the Russian and Austrian
proposal, It Is ofi1cially stated, has prob:
ably fallen through. !. 4. IS
The Russian and Austrian represen-
}tations regarding the necessary action
against Bulgaria reveal the attitude OF
these powers towards Turkey and the
whole Balkan question. They affirm
thet Bulgaria has been acting ins bad
faith in siying secret countenance to
the insurgents and giving them hope
of ultimate success, thus rendering
Turkeys task Of pac1fcation more diff
tficult and delaying yet longer the exc
cution of the programme of reform ac-
cepted by Turkey. The lag Of the Joint
proposal assumes that settlement OF
the Balkan troubles is attainable if

nectfon between the two sides of the

Until comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought Of questioning

dragons We're seen Of many in Eng
land. !" Gesner, professor Of natural
history at Zurich, gives detailed de-
scripton Of the dragon, while Aldro-
Isvandus, in his History of Serpents
and Dragons published in 1910, de-
votes fifty pages to the monster. "A
good specimen of dragon would seem
to have been beast about the size of
a sheep, incased in a coat Of scales
which shone like silver. Its back was
serrated like saw. It. possessed a
long tail, pair of batlike wings, four
heavily clawed feet and a wolvine head,
the Jaws of which were armed with
very formidable teeth. The tongue
was barbed with fire, and fury issued
from the monsters mouth, and the head
bore a crest. Dragons were the most
wicked and vindictive Of creatures.
They seem always to have been In a
towering rage and spent the greater
portion of their time in rushing up and
down the earth destroying everything
that came in their path. The origin of
dragons was disputed point among
medieval naturalists. Some maintain
ed that these animals were generated
by the heat of India; others were of
opinion that the volcanoes Of Ethiopia
used to belch forth the monsters. One
scientist, John Leo by name, declared
the dragon to be hybrid, cross be-
tween an eagle and wolf.

SORRY FOR ITS ACTION.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The state de-
partment has received routine mes
sage from Mr.. Beaupre, the American
minister at Bogota,, acknowledg dying the
receipt Of Secretary Hays cablegram of
August rs stating that the Washington
government would enter into no engage
ment which would hamper the presi-
dents freedom of action under the law,
This was all the cablegram stated, al
though it has been the basis for specu-
lattyei reports about MIR. Beaupre's ideas
OF the Bogota situation. The state de-
partment's attitude is one OF dignifled
patience. No indication of it's course of
action in the event that the Colombian
congress rejects or amends the treaty
will be forthcoming until the time for
the exchange of ratifications expires,
September g. It is known at the state
department that the Colombian con-
gres already Is regretting it's hasty &C.
ton In rejecting the treaty, but the
state department will suggest no remedy
Tor the mistake. Once and for all the
state department has announced that
the treaty as approved by the Washing
ton government$was ratified by the
American senate. It is up to the Bogota
government to ratify that identical
treaty If Colombia desires an isthmian
canal. The: state department. regards
all the reports as to the connection of
this government or even it's INTERESTS in
the unrest on the isthmus as too trivial
for consideration. Dr.. Herean, the
Colombian charge, Indignantly scouts
the idea that the United States would
lend itself to the encouragement of this
unrest. H..
