Thrailkill negroes, who pawned the
weapon to Burton.

TELLS POLICE QUEER STORY.
Man Says He Confessed to Murder to
Fruhten Wife.

Chicago, April 2S-Louis Houston
today confessed to the police that he
had told his wife he had committed a
murder in Ligget, o., and that a man
was now serving a life sentence in the
Ohio penitentiary for the crime.
Houston denies that the story is
true, and says he told it to frighten his
wife, so that she would obey him. He
said that his wife had taken the op-
portunity to get revenge because he
had caused her arrest on a charge of
bigamy. The former Mrs. Houston
is now Mrs. Frank Walcott, and she
is under arrest with her second hus-
band. They have been married less
than a month.
Mrs. Walcott denied that she was
ever legally married to Houston and
says that he deceived her by having
a friend to perform mock marriage
ceremony.

Russian Press Aroused.

St Petersburg, April 28.-1:12 pm.
The Russian press Is aroused over
the talk of mediation and is inclined
to attribute the responsibility for
the proposal to the Anglo-French
agreement, the result being the agree
ment does not obtain favor. The
Novoe Vremya declares the Anglo
French understanding has rendered
poor service to Russia in prompting
the idea of mediation, and adds:
1T is idle to expect an Anglo-Rus-
sian understanding as result of the
Anglo-French entente 1t will take
a long time for Great Britain to reach
Russias confidence"
The Port Arthur CORRESPONDENT of
The Russkyinvalid writes:

ST.. Petersburg, April 28.-Engipeer
Brousneff, who was sent out in the
spring of 1903 by the Imperial Acad-
emy Of Science, in company with Lieu
tenant Kolchak, and number of ex-
perienced Yakuts and coast people,
towards New Siberia and Bennett is
land, to search for the polar expedi-
tion headed by Baron Toll, has re-
turned here.
Baron Toll has not been heard from
since he and his companions left the
yacht Zaria May %, 1902, in compa-
ny with two Yakuts and started for
Bennett isalnd. The Brousneff ex-
pedition visited Bennett island after
Lieutenant Kolchak had searched Ko-
telnyi, New Siberia, and the Tharreus
islands. No trace of the Toll expedi-
tiOn was found. BrouSneff believes
the members Of the party died of
cold and starvation. He says Baron
Toll killed only six reindeer on Ben
ness island and adds that the baron
probably encountered open water on
his ice journey south to New Siberia
and there perished.
Lieutenant Kolchak, who is a naval
officer, received orders at Irkutsk to
proceed to the scene of the war in
the Far East.

Odd Missouri Facts.

That the highest point in Missouri
is but 1900 feet above the level Of
the sea is one of the many interest
ing Typographical facts discovered by
those who examine the large relief
map of that State in the Model Lii
brary in the Missouri State Building
at the Worlds Fair.
This mountain" is iron, known by
the residents of the county as Tom
suck, and from its point radiate the
different geological formations of the
Central Mississippi Valley.
Another interesting disclosure is
the evident route traversed by. the
Missouri River in past geological
ages. In the north central part of the
State the MissouTi's present course
deviates from the northeast to the
southeast. BY the map can be seen
the logical continuation of its course
from the western border of the State
to a point between where Hannibal
and the Iowa State line are now stu
ated, which biologists declare was
the original confluence of the Mis-
souri, AMI Mississippi Rivers. The re-
lief map also shows that Missouri has
lands Fellow the river level.

10 steady steamshIps.

To lessen the rolling Of steamships
In a SEA an interesting device has
been designed by Herr Otto Schnck,
a German naval architect, and con.
sists OF installing rapidly rotating
fly wheel in the hold of the vessel.
This involves making use of the prin.
ciple Of the gyroscope familiar in the
toy sometimes known as the Archime~
dean top, where a fly wheel whose
weight is concentrated near it's cir
conference is mounted in gimbaIs
so that it is free to rotate in any
plane. Herr Schlick proposes to
mount a fly wheel carried on a YER
tical axis in a frame which is sus-
pended ON a horizontal axis trans
verse to the length of the vessel, the
whole mechanism being placed at the
bottom of the boat. To rotate the
fly wheel with the necessary high
speed, electric motors or steam tur-
bines would be employed There
would be hydraulic brakes and band
brakes to restrain and regulate the
motion of the fly wheel when neces-
sary. The effect of the rapidly rotat-
ing fly wheel is to develop forces that
would oppose the oscillation of the
vessel, making it slower and reducing
its extent materially. An elaborate
calculation was made of the size and
weights of such fly wheel, and Herr
schlick has ascertained that for a
steamer of 5000 methic tons (59O5.5
English tons) a fly wheel four metres
(15.12 feet) in diameter, weighing
ten metric tons (9,842 English tons)
and moving with peripheral velocity
to 200 metres (656 feet) per second
would have a most marked effect
