CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form ing a Serpent-Like Mass
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny wOrmlike creature which is found in the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early in August, gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for a change of conditions. When setting out on this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter, and form a huge ser- pentlike mass, often reaching a length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria is only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no Der required to form a continuous line of the size above mentioned is incal- culable
 Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours, never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite in short time When the peasant meets one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If it passes over it it is good omen.

MILE-A-MlNUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- menus with motor boats, says the Lon don Mail. perhaps the most pictur- esQue were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisseur, or gliding boat. It is also |called a hydroplane, and that name is really indicative of its construction. With a De Dion l4horse power mo- tor, the count attained speed of 2S kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 kilome- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is not, however, content with this, and will try in a day or two to raise the speed to 35 or even 40 kilometers, or 25 miles an hour, or a speed that Is not exceeded by the use of Q 40-horse power motor.
 The boat itself is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fins. When the boat is stationary these fins hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow, are gradually given a backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests upon it, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeroplane glides on the air, and with not much more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor tae hydroplane will reach speed of 6O miles an hour.

The Leopard of the Shows.

When we look at the leopards in a menagerie our minds instinctively turn to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor rid lands of the equator. But there are leopards that love the snow, and never willingly descend below the levels where snowstorms occur in summer as well as in winter. The New York Zoo logical park possesses, at present, a beautiful specimen of the "snow leop- ard" whose home is among the lofty mountains about Thibet. Thousands of tanned skins of the snow leopard are carried to Shanghai for sale. but the iiv- ing animal is rarely seen away from his cool mountain home.-Youth's Compan- ion.

Any honest person who suffers with Rheumatism is authorized to go to their druggist today and get bottle of Para camph, use as directed, and if it fails to do exactly what we claim, go back to their druggist and get their money. Par acamph is recommended as modern scientific treatment for all Rheumatic Swellings and Neuralgia troubles. It re- lieves on Natures plan. That is when applied 1t opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the ailment soothing the inAamed skin. muscles and joints re- ducingt he swelling by removing the con- gestion, drawing out the fever and infam- nation by inducing sweating. It sweats the disease out of the body through the pores of the skin. This is why Para camph is superior to the many internal strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom- ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine the general health. Our guarantee Is made to convince you of our faith in Par acarnph. We have of course, tested it's merits thoroughly in many and various cases. We know therefore exactly what it will do. So don't hesitate, but get bottle of Paracamph today, and after two or three applications you will be convinced that we claim only for Paracamph exactly what it will do.
 Paracamph is sold only in as cent, 50 cent and $I .oo bottles. The larger sizes are cheaper for family use. Write for book of testimonials. The Paracampn Company, Louisville Ky, U. s. A.

B. L. Eaton and E. T. Allen
Will Make Objections

Mayor Mclean and two councilmen.
freeman and Burton, were the only MEM
bers of that body present at the city hall
last night in response to second call
/ plants. should there be any, regarding
the appraisement of the property on First
street and fremont avenue. which will be
subject to special taxation in payment
for the new pavement.
b. Z. Eaton, proprietor of the Hotel
Carey, and E. I. Allen were present with
complaint each, but as quorum of the
members of the council was not present
the meeting could not be held. 1t will
now be necessary to await the next regu-
lar session before another special meet
ing of that body can be called.
Mr.. Eaton, who owns the property on
the west side of fremont street, says
that the appraisement is 1900 higher for
the same number of feet than it is of
part owner Of 20 feet of ground also on
the west side of the street at the corner
of fremont and William. says that the

the street in the same part of the block.
Il want to see the matter equalized."
said Mr.. Allen. II don't see why my prop
erty on the west side of the street
should be considered more valuable than
that on the east side"
My property is not worth any more
than that on the east side of the street."
said Mr.. Eaton. II only ask what is
right in the matter
He was accompanied to the city hall by
his attorney, G. V. Ferguson.
The appraisers Of the property were II.
H Richards, Clarence Smith and W. n.
Grafton. AS there was no meeting the
appraisers reason for making difference
in The estimated valuation Of the property
was not given. Mr.. Richards, who was
the only member, of the appraisers pres
emit, said that he understood that property
Situated on the west side of any street
was always considered more valuable
than that on the other.

JEWELS STILL MISSING.
What Became of Mrs. Dedrick's Dia-
monds Still a Mystery.

What became of the three diamond and
one opal rings and $40 in money which
disappeared from the home OF Mrs. II. 7.
Dedrick Wednesday morning, remains as
much of a. mystery as ever Every nook
and corner Of the Dedrick home has been
searched but the missing jewels are not
to be found.
The following is given out by the po-
lice as the manner in which the jewels
were lost Mrs. Dedrick carried them in
a small bag pinned 10 her waist. Wednes-
day morning, while she was dressing one
of her children, she had use for pin
and took the one fastening the bag con-
tanning the jewels and money. She laid
the rings on dresser temporarily. When
she went to look for them later they had
disappeared.
The police think that the jewels have
just been mislaid and that they will turn
up in due time. They do not believe that
a robbery has been committed.
