LIKING. Yet Dead.

In a German law Journal may be
found a curious account Of woman,
who, though actually living, is legally
dead. Some years ago she disappeared
from her home, and after three years
had elapsed the court formally pro-
nounced her dead and turned over her
property to her next of kin. Soon aft
erward she returned to her native
place, and as there was no question
as to her identity, she naturally
thought that she would have no diff
Guilty in recovering her property. The
court, however, fatty refused to COM
ply with her request "You have been
declared dead" it virtually said, and
it is impossible for us to regard you
as living" Thereupon the woman ap-
pealed to higher court, but her labor
was in vain,e for the verdict Of the
lower court was upheld and. more
over. an official notice was issued to
the effect that the plaintiff, having for
malIy been declared dead, could not
now be restored to life, as the law un-
derstands that word, and must remain
dead until doomsday.-N. Y. Herald

CONSUMPTION OF JEwELRY.
What Becomes of Good Watches and
other Articles of Value Is Some
thing of q Mystery.

A periodical devoted to the jewelry
trade tries to account for the continued
sale of certain lines of merchandise AS
cheap plated stuff Is thrown away as
soon as the coating wears off, one can
understand why such articles disap-
pear. Rings, pins, and other objects OF
real value, as we'll as jewelry, may be
lost, OF course, but they don't wear out.
They last a lifetime. Owing to change
In style, possibly they may be laid aside,
but this does not happen often.
Perhaps the most puzzling phase OF
the question is the demand for watches
and watch movements. This is encour-
aged by the fact that really good time
keeper in a nickel case can be bought
for S. or $40, yet the number of watches
sold increases much faster than the pop
ulatiOn. Where do all these go? SO
durable are the old watches that thou
rands which have been in service for
nearly a lifetime may be seen still in use.
A Pittsburg dealer said the other day:
The railroad man is about as fair an
example as you can find. While his case
IS only an ordinary one his watch move
ment is usually good, and in many In
stances his children earn their own
watch before he is in position to pass
it to the heir. The majority Of watches
are kept the same way, and what be-
comes of them Is more than the average
dealer can tell"

uNLUCKY ROYAL NAMES.
That of Peter Has Been Particularly
OenspisuOus fer Bringing
Misfortune.

The Christian name Of Peter has never
been fashionable among royalties. This
country has never had monarch bap-
tized as Peter, and in other countries the
Peters have been unlucky. says the Lon
don Chrenicle. Peter, or Pedro l., en-
peror Of Brazil, abdicated after an un-
easy reign, and his son, Pedro H.. was
driven TO Europe by a revolution, and
died In Paris In 1891. Pedro, the Cruel,
of CASTLE and Leon, was slain by his
brother IN single combat. Peter the
Great, Of Russia, was guilty Of frightful
excuses; his grandson, Peter H., reign
ed only three years. and died ofsmallpox
at the age Of IL. Peter III. was de-
throned and strangled by conspirators'
Peter l., of Servia, has already brutal
massacre behind him. John 10 another
name avoided by royalties. We had
only one John, and the experience was
unhappy. In Scotland such was the pop
ular repugnance to the name that when
the son of Robert II, assembled the
throne he changed his name from John
to Robert. Few OF the Jameses died In
their beds, and the alteration to Charles
was not a successful experiment. Ed
ward, George, William and Henry have
on the whole, been fortunate names for
our sovereigns to bear.

KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON.
Fortressss Of the TeYAites, or War
rtOr Species, Assaalsd with
ARTILLERY.

Artillery charged with grapeshot has
been employed to destroy great fcT-
tresses which the tsrmites, or warrior
ants, have made in many tropical
countries, reports the New York Her
aid.
In South Africa the tormitSs work
enormous havoc. They live in q re-
public of their own, and some OF them
have wings. The workmen, the SOL
diers and the queens, however, have
none.
The workmAn construct their BALD
ings, the soldiers defend the colony
and keep order and the females, or
queens, are cared for By all the others.
These become, in point Of fact, mere
egg laying machines which have to
remain tied to one spot
Their nesting homes are Often 20
feet high and pyEamidal in shape. Cat
tie climb upon them without crushing
them. A dozen men Oen End shelter
in some Of their chambers and native
hunters often lie In wait inside them
when out after wild animals.
The ants construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore Of q large
cannon and which run three or four
feet underground.
The nests are said to DO 800 times
as high as the ants body, and 1t has
been estimated that II we built our
houses on the same scale they would
be four times a. high a. the pyramids
of Egypt.

GEOGRAPHICAL FRIENDSHIPS
Those which Depend Altogether Up
on Being Located In the Same
NeighbOrhOOd.

A true friend, OF course, is one
whose bodily presence. agreeable
though 1t be, is not essential to the
continuance of the relation, says the
Weeks Progress. Such one we meet
after a ten years separation with as
Sttle awkwardness as If we had parted
yesterday. We need not even write
10 each other, except as we desire to
know the facts of daily progress or
retrogression and satisfy our pride in
the others achievements or express
our verbal sympathy over his disap-
pointments. Such friendships are few,
one or two for every man or woman
who is capable Of deep feeling. and
that is usually all. But there is
larger minor grade Of friendships that
are based upon propinQuity. The man
We chum with because we go to the
same college, or travel with on the
same train or boat, or stop with at the
same hotel, or sit near in the same
office, or chat with at the same club be-
longs to this geographical class. Some
one of him may become a deeper
friend, but as a rule our relation with
him depends entirely upon certain
common interests. business, social or
intellectual, and does not extend be-
yond the qualification or the desire to
talk to or merely be some one who will
not Jar. That desire, truly, is the foun-
dation of all the common human In
terrelations; without 1t. social rela-
tons would be purely sporadic.

TALK OF THE RATHER.
snake Sounds n Call with
Its RattlOs.

What Is . rattlsEnaks'S rattle
for?" said John Lover. the ZOO keeper,
In response TO & question by q Phila-
delphia Record man.
at IL q call" he resumed. answering
his own question. THE rattlesnake
with 1t calls his mate. A man was
telling me the other day that he stud
led the rattle question last year In the
west He said II IL mainly az a call
that the rattle is used, though different
sounds can be made with It. and those
sounds appear to have different mean
ings.
"Onee this man saw seven hogs at
tack a rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluckily. and while he fought
be ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes. though they
fought we'll, were all killed.
THE rattle Is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as a call, he says. that the rattle ia
used most-a love call, generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate"

A LIFE-SAVING KITE.
to Be Carried OF Shipboard
to Establish Communication
When Stranded.

OF late years the kite has emerged
from the position Of mere toy, and
has been successfully employed for
meteorological observations at high al
titudes. A more recent application OF
the kite-principle is as a life-saving
appliance to be carried on shipboard,
It's particular duty being to establish
communication between a stranded
Fessel and the adjacent shore. 1t
stands to reason that ship in this
position generally has the assistance
of the wind in carrying anything
shorewards, and It would be far easier
TO launch kite under such conditions
that it would be to fire rocket In the
reverse direction. The kite carries a
guide-rope, and contains In a pocket
a set of signals and instructions. 1t is
furnished with apparatus for tele-
phonic communication between the
crew and their wouldbe reseuers. But
we must confess that. seeing the fire.

swORDFISH KILLS WHALE.
Fierce Battle Between Monsters %
the Deep Witnessed By steamer
Passengers.

A sanguinaEy battle between deep SEA
monsters. In which q whale was killed
by q "thrasher," aided by q swordhsh,
was witnessed by the officers OF the Pa
ciGc Coast Steamship company's CITY
Of Topeka on the last trip OF that vessel
The battle was fought at the entrance
OF Queen Charlotte sound. When 1t was
over the water for several hundred
yards around was red with blood, says
Seattle report.
First Officer J. S. Lawrence, In telling
OF It, said:
"The swordflsh was not Visible dur
Ing the fight, but from what know OF
similar battles, 1t Is probable that no
was underneath the water engaged In
prodding the whale. Every time tho
swordfsh, which Ia generally IL or IA
feet long, struck the monster the mon
ster would rise out of the water. The
thrasher' would jump completely out
Of the sea, and, spinning around on Its
head for few seconds until it had the
head OF the whale located, It would then
descend with a splash that looked like
a building topping into the sea anu
strike the whale. The latter would then
start to sound or dive, but the sword
fish would prod 1t from underneath un-
til It rose out of the water to again DO
struck by the thrasheY.
This was repeated time and time
again. The noise Of the fight was loud
enough to De heard for miles. Even
tually the whale began to spout streams
of blood, and, as the passengers passed
out of sight, his awkward motions be-
came feebler and feahler."

HOT-WEATHER ENTERPRISE.
How a Newspaper Reporter Worked
n "Beat" on a Less Inven-
tive Rival

One of the most cheering sights OF
the day was displayed to passers-by
in Park Row little after noon. says
a New York exchange A very SOL
emn, fat reporter came down out OF
newspaper Office with a camera and
a thermometer. He wandered about
the open space disconsolately and
drippj2gly looking for the hottest spot
After awhile he found handy place
near the Franklin monument which
seemed to be the focus Of more sun
rays than any other. There he SOL
emily set up the thermometer, waited
until the mercury refused to rise any
higher, and then photographed the
record Then solemnly and drippingly
he retired to the picture department
Of his newspaper.
A few minutes later another young
man, from rival newspaper, appeared
in a secluded spot in William street,
near the bridge arches, and likewise
produced a thermometer. He. however,
produced a match which he lighted
and held under the bulb Of the Their
mometer while another reporter with
a camera took a picture. Thus are
beats" scored by the truly great.

Professor G. B. Davenport, OF the

delicate, beautiful little insects which
prove q pest to great many people.
The sand fly is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms It Is called Ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Creek word
Ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sAnd
fly is one Of the most interesting aAd
