CLAIM FOR DAMAGES.
Topeka Transfer Company Had Horse
Killed by Bridge Collapsing.

The Topeka Transfer company has
entered a claim with the county COM
missioners for damages for the loss of a
horse which was killed by the East
Fourth street bridge across the Shun-
ganunga collapsing.
The Transfer company was engaged
in hauling ties for the Topeka Railway
company. While a heavily loaded trans
fer wagon was crossing the bridge it
collapsed The commissioners have con-
sidered the advisability of entering suit
against the Transfer company for the
damage done to the bridge by reason of
the fact that the load of ties was I'M
usually heavy and that it was a greater
burden than the bridge was expected to
carry.

ne, ana, therefore, l cannot say pos
itiVely that the feast will take place. ="
What was the original idea of your
prOject?"
"CiviliZation has thrown back hui
mainly from nature, the source of all
beauty and of all truth; and nature eX-
lists only by the all powerful sun. Peo-
pie do not dwell sufficiently upon the
fact that the sun, seated on his throne
in space, 149 600, 900 kilometres from u.s.
makes us whirl around him like a
stone in sling. and sustains us by his
incommensurable force. He envelops US
in fecund radiation so prodigious
that all terrestrial life and all natural
energies in activity are regulated by it.
From all times men have admired
that inconceiVable power, from the
Pontiffs of the Sryas, the sacricers of
the Incas, the priests of Zoroaster and
the Vestal virgins down to the peas
ants in our fields who still light bon
fires on st. Johns eve.
Yes. yes. we may we'll be permit
ted to re-establish the feast of the sun
But it can never be, as has been in
simulated pagan feast or the nantes
tation of a philosophic system. It will
simply be a feast of science and: it is
science alone that can bring us to a
higher understanding of the grandeurs
of nature"

Dead Sea to Be EnIivened.
From the London Daily News.


1t is believed that before very long
the Dead Sea will be exploited for in
dustrial purposes. French engineers are
at work on three different projects
with this purpose in view. The level of
the Dead Sea being more than 1900
feet below that of the Mediterranean
and the Read seas, it is thought that
by connecting either of these two seas
by means of a canal with the Dead Sea,
a stream of water would flow with
a velocity calculated to produce some
$4,000 horsepower.
There is no danger, it is asserted, of
an overlooking of the Dead Sea, for the
water there evaporate at so great a
rate ($6,000,000 tons a day. that the in
coming waters would make no appre-
ciable difference in the level One
project is to start the canal from the
Bay of Acre, lead it southwark past
Mount Tabor and let it join at Bal
san the waters of the Jordan. Another
plan is to build the canal along the
railway line from Jaffa to Jerusalem.
But this would mean blasting a tun-
mel OF some thirty-seven miles through
the mountains of Old Judea. The third
project, the cheapest, proposes to start
at Akaba in the Red Sea and pass
through the desert of Wady-el-Jebel.
Having obtained power in this manner,
1t is thought many industrial works
would be carried on.

EMOTIONAL HAIR.
From London Tit Bits.

rFOHl LOndon TIT Bits.
Not only is emotional hair wen
known to medical specialists, but every
hairdresser of experience recognizes il
frequently in connection with his own
customers
With some peculiarly-constitut ed peo-
pie the hair is affected by every pass
ing emotion, and not only does it reach
the extremes of crispness or limpness
within very few hours, but it varies
in color vastly. This latter peculiarly
is so well recognized by every hair
dresser that some members of that
calling are prepared to say definitely
OF a given regular customer, BLANK is
not well, or he has some great trouble
on his mind just now
Many man who appears exceeding
~ gray on one day is comparatively
dark-halred the next, and cases are
known where the single white locks of
hair that sometimes are found on
head otherwise wholly black, have dis
appeared almost entirely and then
come again. That is to say, the white
turf has gone almost black like the
surrounding hair, and has then become
quite white again, and so on.
We all know what use Shakespeare
ana other dramatists and poets have
made OF the influence of emotion upon
human hair, but one of the most cele-
brated detective inspectors now at
Scotland Yard said to the writer in
regard to this very subject:
when ] have put my hand sud-
denly on to the shoulder Of some man 7
was arresting, l have actually heard
the rustling of his hair, or thought that
l could; at least. 1 have seen all the
hair about the ears palpably move like
that of an animal, and when that man
has been sentenced afterwards his hair
that had before seemed to be crisp
and bristly, has appeared dark and
thin and poor"
Two of the best known hair dressers
in London have assured the writer
that they have customers who go gray
and black again within a few hours.
One instanced the case of a financial
magnate who came to grief and was
tried for fraud. During the proceed
ings he went irongray, but directly he
had been acquitted his hair returned to
Its normal colOr-of course, quite with
out any artificial means.
Another strange fact is that there are
a comparatively limited number Of
people whose hair will never take any
dye, no matter what it may be, sue
cessfully and thoroughly Bottle af-
ter bottle of hair dye may be expended
upon it, but will never take any pig
ment properly.

COLE SAYS BLOOD WILL NOT
LAST THROUGH FIRST ROUND
Believes He Can Put the Savannah WeIterwecbt
Out Immediately

George Cole said yesterday he had
little doubt but that the contest to-
morrow night would not last longer
than the first round, and he would be
able to dispose of Blood in that one
round.
When told of this Blood said he
might have a surprise for the much
touted champion. Everybody knows
what wallop he has, and if he should
be lucky enough to land it couple of
times he might cause the unexpected.
Anyway the fight promises to be one
OF the hardest contested yet pulled off.
Those who have seen Blood in the
ring are anxious to see him go
against real clever man, and no bet
ter man in the country could have been
selected than Cole.
