4 Gypay Prophecy,

An English magazine relates a curl
Gus instance of gypsy prophecy. The
third Earl Of Malmesbury, as Lord
Fitzharris, was riding to a yeomanry
review near Christchurch, when his or
derly, some distance in front, ordered
a gypsy woman to open n gate. The
gypsy woman quietly waited till Lord
Fitzharris and his staff rode up, when
she addressed them, saying, "Oh, you
think you are lot of fine fellows now,
but l can tell you that one day your
bones will whiten in that field" Lord
Fitzharris laughed and asked her
whether she thought they were going
to have battle, adding it was not very
likely in that case they would choose
such u spot. More than forty years
later the field was turned into a ceme-
terry.

up to him and shook him warmly by
the hand.

Just when the mutilation OF the dead
by tearing the skin from the head be-
gan will never be known, for the origin
is lost in the midst of ages, the record
extending back beyond even the myth
ical period of mans existence. In the
book of Maccabecs 1t Is recorded that
at the termination of one of the battles
Of which that bloody history is SO full
the victorious soldiers tore the skin
from the heads of their vanqushed
foes This would be evidence that the
custom OF scalp taking was one of the
indulgences even of those people of
whom we have record III the Bible.
BE it as 1t may, it is an established
fact that the custom is a universal one,
so far as savage man is concerned.
Whether ethnologists can build the
ory of common origin of man from
this or not, or whether this can be
taken as an evidence that the Indians
are the descendants of the lost Israelite
tribes because of their habit of securing
memcntoS of hair from their fallen en-
emies, is something time alone will de.
velop. BE that rs it may, it is fact
that all Indian tribes, to n certain eX-
tent scalp their enemies who have fall.

Curious Fact In Natural History.

An incident which will be interest
ing to naturalists is told in n recent
number of the Scotsman. One of the
foresters in the employ of the Marquis
of Lothian was returning from his
work when he noticed wild duck fly
ing from Il larch tree. On close exami-
nation he observed common brown
owl looking down from what appeared
to be nest in the cleft of the tree
about thirty feet from the ground and
apparently near the place from which
the duck had flown. Curiosity prompt
ed him to climb TO the place, which he
did with great difficulty. The owl on
his approach flew off, and to his sur
prise he found in the nest two eggs
an OWLS and wild ducks. 1t is not
uncommon for both owls and ducks to
build their nests high up on trees, but
1t is unheard of for one nest to be ap-
propriated by both birds.

A Country of LInEuIsts.

Almost every native of Iceland, even
at least one foreign language besides
his local Danish dialect. Some years
ago it became fad to study languages,
and now a person speaking only one
tongue is looked down upon as ex-
tremely ignorant. English leads; then
come German and French. Papers in
these three languages are read extern
sively in Iceland and may be found in
all the village reading rooms.

The Head and Feet,

The connection between the head and
feet is we'll known. A hot head is or
dinarily relieved by q hot footbath.
So cold feet tend to congest the brain
and other internal organs. Sometimes
cold feet are caused by tight lacing or
tight fitting shoes. But 1t is as much
a suicidal act to hasten death by com
pressing the lungs or the feet as by
compreSsing the neck with Il rope.

MONEY STOLEN,
SAY OFFICIALS
Express Company Now Salts
fled $4,000 Was Taken
From It's Coin Department
DETECTIVES ARE BUSY
Not a Trace of the Missing
Cash Is Found in Boxes
Sent to Eastern Points

The detectives of Wells, Fargo & Co.
were turned loose yesterday in search
of the man or men guilty of stealing
the $4,000 which mysteriously disap-
peared a week ago from the forwarding
department of the express company. All
hope that the missing money might be
eventually found in one of the east
bound coin safes, where it was thought
it might have been placed by mistake,
was abandoned yesterday.
Early in the morning reports had
been received from all points to which
coin safes were shipped on the day the
coin disappeared. The money had not
been accounted for, and the only theory
left for the officials of the company was
that it had been made away with by
some one. Discussing the matter yes
terday one of the officials of the COM
pany said the theory of theft was re-
luctantly accepted by the company.
AS we have repeatedly stated" said
he, I'VE have directed suspicion against
no employe of the company 1t is hard
to believe that one of our men would
have betrayed the trust reposed in
him, for in the coin department the
majority of the employees have been
there for many years, some as far back
as 1868, and during their long career
with the company they have handled
sums of money far in excess of the
amount stolen last week. OF course, we
do not mean in any way to intimate
that one of these men is guilty of ths
theft There is every reason, however,
for believing that the money was
stolen, and it now rests with the spe-
cial officers of the company to deter
mine who is the guilty person.
Among the men employed in the for
warding department it has been sus-
pected from the start that the S15,0 900
was stolenS and they all keenly feel the
position they have been placed in. How
one man could have got away with the
SIS, 900 without attracting the notice of
the large number of employees in that
department is mystery. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that an outsider could not
have carried it off, and it seems to the
officials of the company almost impos-
sible that -one of the employees could
have had a confederate outside the
counter and passed the bag of money
to him without arousing suspicion.

Like monster full of life. the airship
California Messenger, constructed by
George E. Heaten, flew about in Ala
media for several hours yesterday. Its
flight was over the large field north of
the tidal canal and west of Park ave-
nue.. She obeved her steering and pro-
pelling apparatus in a manner highly
satisfactory to the inventor.
Heaten went uD in his aerial craft
for the first time and put the vessel
through a series of evolutions that in
cluGed soaring, descending, turning
about, travelling in a straight line and
in circle. Nearly a thousand persons
witnessed the flight. and many ex-
pressed the opinion that the designer
and builder of the craft has come near
solving the problem of a dirigible air
ship.
Heaten had inflated the mammoth
balloon of the vessel with almost 10. 900
cubic feet of hydrogen gas, and its
buoyancy easily lifted the craft and the
operator, who weighed $50 pounds To
lessen the chances of an accident long
ropes were fastened TO the vessel during
the maneuvers above the earth, the
lines being held by Heaten's assistants
who were forced to run rapidly when
the craft was moving ahead at half
speed.
Owing to the atmospheric conditions
the gasoline engine that drives the pro-
pelling fans of the airship gave Heaten
some trouble for a time by stopping
when he was high above the ground
but the inventor says he can prevent a
recurrence OF the annoyance by altera-
tions to the engine. After coming down
from his initial ascension Heaten took
two of his small children in the basket
of the airshiD and made a short flight
for the purpose of giving their mother
an opportunity to take a snapshot Of
the vessel and its occupants.
In discussing his aerial vessel Heaten
said:
feel that I have near as Santos
Dumont and other builders Of airships to max
ing one than can be controlled. My vessel diff
fcrs from others in its motive power and in the
construction Of its guiding machinery. The en-
gfne was designed by me and is capable OF de-
veloping 15-horsepower. although it weighs but
64 pounds.

WILL INDICT
YOUNG WEBER
Auburn Grand Jury Prepared
to Charge the Youth With
the Murder of His Father
SEARCH FOR LOST GOLD
Officers Believe Coin Miss
ing From the Alleged Bank
Funds Is in San Francisco
SEARCH FOR LOST GOLD
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUBURN, Dec. 4.-The Grand Jury
tomorrow will bring in an Indictment
against Adolph ]. Weber for the killing
of his father. On the same day young
Weber will have his hearing before
Judge Prewett on the charge of killing
his mother. The jury will not attempt
to bring in any further indictments be-
cause of a Supreme Court decision
which says that where a first indict-
ment found by a Grand Jury is not re-
submitted to it for correction, or not re-
submitted at all, the same jury which
found the first indictment is disqualified
from finding a second one. The District
Attorney will advise the present Grand
Jury that it would be useless for it to
bring in an indictment against Weber
on the bank robbery charge
A neighbor of the Webers to-day said
that AdolDh Weber had not spoken to
his sister Bertha for several months
prior to her death. He seldom spoke
to any of the family. On one occasion
it is said, when Adolph was living upon
the lounge at his home his little invalid
brother while playing bumped into him
Immediately AdolDh flew into a rage
and struck the helpless boy. Young
Weber on another occasion remarked
to a companion that he was tired of
nNlnS at nome, urea VI MS people, tnaJ
they were not congenial and that he
was going to make other arrangements
A thorough search has been made of
the Weber premises for the SS25 that is
missing from the sum supposed to have
been stolen from the bank by Weber.
The officers believe that it has either
been found and not reported or that the
money is somewhere in San Francisco.
When the Weber family left last June
for c., Adn1roI1
the same train with the rest of the fam
lily, but took train five hours later.
The officers think that he stayed behind
in order to take some of the stolen bank
money with him. 1t may be, the officers
say, that he has the money deposited
somewhere in San Francisco under an
alias, or possibly with some friend.
