John Burns, member Of Parliament
for Battersea, recently took 2O0-mile
walk with an infantry battalion in or.
der to see the work done by the army.
He made an average Of % miles day
and declared at the end of the trip
that he enjoyed it greatly.
Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana do
not allow non-residents to hunt. In
Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mex

highest license is that OF Wyoming
500; the lowest that Of Washington
81.
An estimate Is made that an expense
OF S1,0OOO00 has been borne by two
rival horse owners within three years
past to bring the record to it's present
point. The men interested are G. X. G.,
Billings, the owner of Lou Dillon, and

A recent maritime disaster calls at
tention to tiny Maine village Of his
torical interest. Pemaquid Point was
one of the earliest of the New Eng
land white settlements, and the ruins
Of the stone fort, built there in 1850,
still stand near the steamboat land
ing. With short and bloody history,
Indian hostility making the locality
uninhabitable, the town site was short
ly afterward abandoned.
An interesting article in the shape
of an old straw hat that has passed
several years of continuous travel on
railroads all over the country, arrived
at the Brattleboro (Vt) station recent
ly. The hat was started from Mil
waukee and since then has visited all
parts Of the United States. 1t is COW
cred with checks bearing the names Of
the different towns it has visited. It
was sent from Brattleboro to Bellows
Falls.
Blonde hair is characterized by
high proportion Of soda and also Of
silica; red hair contains a very high
proportion Of silica; black is poor in
soda and poor in silica-the latter be-
ing almost entirely lacking--but on
the other hand is rich in potassium.
Thus we have potassic hair, silicic hair
and sodic hair, and as the hair is con-
tinually growing and being cut or fall
ing out, it is evident that by means
Of the hair there is both constant and
important elimination of certain min
eral compounds.
The largest organ in Maine is at the
Universalist Church at Portland. In
it are over 5000 pipes, the smallest
piccolo, being half an inch long, and
the largest, double open diapason, or
32-foot 20" pipe. The vox humane
stop alone, having 81 pipes, cost 5000.
The pipe rooms, of which there are
four, are each as large as an ordinary
bed chamber. The organ was voiced
by ]. HI. Brown, who voiced the organ
at Westminster Abbey. 1t has three
manuals, and is blown by three

ODD FACTS IN TELEPATHY.
Experiments that Add Greater Mystery

Experiments that Add Greater Mystery
to the Occult Phenomena.
That telepathy or mental commune
cation of persons at distance from
each other is more than fiction has
frequently been demonstrated by we'll
authenticated facts. A writer in a
Paris scientific journal relates some
circumstances coming under his obser-
walton that will interest those who
may be Investigating the pnychic phe-
nOmena.
"In my efforts to discover the mech
anism of telepathic communication
he says, II used Roman medium,
Politi, taking him to the house Of M.
De Albertis at Joinville. Having read
that Mesmer had at one time put a
woman to sleep by placing his cane in
a basin of water, the woman having
placed her umbrella in the same basin,
l decided to see if the same effects
could be obtained with my medium
I went one morning with POliti to the
border of the Marine, and requested
him to place his cane in the water,
where also placed my own stick at
some PAGES upstream, at the same time
making a muscular effort. This effort
on my part produced violent con-
traction of the arm Of the medium,
who nearly fell into the water, al
though I subsequently discovered that
the interposition of boat between
myself and the medium succeeded in
arresting the effect. We then returned
to the garden of the house and pro-
ceeded to make series of tests.
IN. De Albertis joined us in our
promenade, and the following is his
account in an Italian journal Of the
experiments: DE Rochas, Politi and
myself went to the border Of the
Marine, a river with a breadth of 1870
feet and depth of from fifteen to
thirty feet, being very rapid. De
ROchas was rOwed to the middle of the
river, while Politi and myself took an
other boat and descended the current,
stopping at a distance of about 1900
feet from De Rochas. / had agreed
with De Rochas that when he made
signal by raising his cane was to
request the medium to place his own
stick in the water, the back of the
medium being toward De Rochas. All
of this was done. De Rochas gave the
signal, / gave the order to Politi, who
placed his cane in the water and wait
ed. A few seconds passed before the
medium felt any effect. then suddenly
his arm was violently shocked, his
hand contracted; he resisted with all
his strength, but it was evident that
the cane was powerfully drawn to-
ward the bottom of the river. This
experiment was repeated many times,
and gave with every trial the same re-
suit. The following day experiments
were made ON the tracks of railroad,
which experiments seem to indicate
that the effects may be transmitted for
a much greater distance along this
sort Of a conductor"

California has in her hills the largest
and most kind-hearted of the great
fighters, the grizzly, and at the same
time the smallest and most treacher-
Gus, the red lynx. Most hunters call
them wildcats" but they are not.
The real wildcat has a long tail and
lives only. in Europe-in fact he's.
about extinct nOw-and old hunters
dread the wailing midnight cry of
hungry lynx more than they do all the
growls grizzly ever let out. For
when a lynx is maddened by hunger
he fears neither man nor beast. and
most of the animals of the forest give
him the road without waiting for him
to ask it. In Canada and even in the
northern row Of States of this nation
the lynxes grow to be much larger
than they do here, III the warmer eli
mate of the southwest. There. too.
they are hunted for their fur, but here
that fur is worthless, and, save for
those killed by an occasional hunter,
the lynxes hold undisputed sway in the
foothills.
No matter how soundly they may
be sleeping, you can never "catch one
mapping" for at the slightest sound of
your approach he will clear the ten or
fifteen feet between his nest and the
ground and be off like flash in the
underground. About the only way to
get these fellows is with hounds, and
then generally one or two of the dogs
gets pretty severely chewed up.
In the hills the lynxes usually stay

According to a recently issued census

According to a recently issued census
bulletin, the real rank of cities is not
always indicated by the order in which
they stand in the tables of population.
Some great centers have a consider
able part Of their massed population
lying outside the municipal bounda-
ries. Boston is a good example: about
twelve hundred thousand people live
in sight Of the State House dome, and
less than six hundred thousand Of
them are governed by the Boston may
or. Other cities have annexed far into
the farm lands Of the adjacent coun-
try. 1t is customary to speak of the
population of State, in proportion to
it's size" Such a comparison is sell
dom made Of cities, although it might
not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for ex-
ample, has a population of a third of
a million on eighteen thousand acres Of
ground; New York's population, little
more than ten times as great, spreads
over nearly twelve times as many
acres. Chicago was long famous for
it's annexation habit, but since 1890
New York has annexed much more ter
ritory than Chicago's total area. New
Orleans has slightly larger area than
Chicago. Each of them covers six times
the area Of Baltimore. Washington,
which occupies the Maryland part Of
the ten miles square set aside for ma
tional capital, is a fair-sizer city as
area goes, for this generation. 1t may
seem small century hence, although
it looked abundantly ample for all the
purposes Of urban development when
laid out. In the case Of cities, as we'll
as of other corporations, consolidation
is plainly one Of the tendencies of the
times. More than one-third of those
in the United States have added to
their territory by annexation since
1881. Townships and counties are oc-
casionally subdivided, by reason Of To-
cal interests, but the cities seem to be
steadily pushing their boundaries out
ward. There are some economic rea-
sons for this, but the reason in many
cases has been the desire of their in
habitants to make good showing"

Here is a fine idea from West Vir-
ginia. The Agricultural Experiment
Station has entered on practical cam
paign for the improvement of rural
school grounds throughout the State.
AS a starter, one school yard in each
county is to be beautifed by land
scape gardener. There will be trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and thorough
effort to make real beauty spots Of
plots that are now unsightly. There
isn't more dismal appearing spot on
earth than the average country school
yard. Generally it is a stable lot,
grown up to weeds and Uttered with
lunch remnants, old newspapers and
other debris. In the center is wealth
er-beaten building, ugly inside and out.
Its walls and smoky ceilings would be
an incentive to suicide, if it were not
for the natural jubilancy Of childish
spirits. A little money, properly used,
would put the homelike touch on the
interior, and make the grounds great
garden. And it is fact that the chill
dren, even in the most boisterous Of
country schools, can be interested in
the useful life that lies outside Of their
books. They will grow flowers, If they
have chance and an example to fol-
low. They will absorb love for the
beautiful, If they have the opportunity,
and it is a thing that will make them
better men and women. Perhaps there
was time when few parents would
have sneered at these school beautify
ing plans, asserting that fads. were
only another name for foolishness. But
most of that folly has been educated
out Of humanity, in the city as well as
the country, and in future education
is to be made, as far as possible,
pleasure, and, as little as may be, a
task. The West Virginia experiment is
commendable and worth watching.

a friend, who said to him: "You seem
very happy, dear fellow. Have you
heard any good news?" "Oh, no; I've
just taken dinner" was the reply.
"You evidently enjoyed it. What did
you have to eat?" continued the friend.

The Girl I Left Behind Me.

The Girl Left Behind Me.
The danes Of France are fond and free,
And Flemish lips are willing.
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
Still, though l bask beneath their smile,
Their charms fail to bind me,
And my heart flies back to Erin's isle,
To the girl l left behind me.
For she's as fair as Shannon's side,
And purer than it's water,
But she refused to be my bride
Though many year / sought her;
Yet, since to France / sailed away,
Her letters oft remind me
That promised never to gainsay
The girl left behind me.
She says: "My own dear love, come
home,
Ny friends are rich and many,
Or else abroad with you I'll roam
A soldier stout as any;
If you'll not come, nor let me go,
I'll think you have resigned me"
Ny heart nigh broke when l answered
No!
To the girl left behind me.
For never shall my true love brave
A life Of war and toiling;
Aud never as a skulking slave
I'll tread my native soil on;
But, were it free, or to be freed,
The battles close would find me
TO Ireland bound-no message need
From the girl left behind me.

A Unique Robbery.

Ona Of the most peculiar incldents
which ever came under the notice of
the police department was reported at
che police station yesterday, and
new method of robbery was discovered.
A young and rather good looking man
appeared at the station and told the
chief of police that he had been rob-
bad Of his shoes. hat and overcoat
while a passenger on Rio Grande
train No. yesterday morning. He
gave his name as Claud l.. Bailey of
Salt Lake City.
According to the young man story
he was en- route to the east where he
intended visiting some relatives. He
took passage OH the Rio Grande sys-
tenn and rode from Grand Junction on
train No. which arrived here at z
o'clock yesterday morning. He did
not take a berth in the Pullman and
rode in the smoking car nearly all the
way. Wednesday night he tried to
get some sleep and lay back IN his seat
in the smoker. spreading his overcoat
over him to keep from taking cold.
Tlat was the last he remembered
until he awoke yesterday morning to
find that his overcoat had been stolen
ana not only that, but his shoes,
which were of the patent leather
variety, and his Stetson hat had bern
taken also How the thief got his
shoes off his feet without waking hiIn
was more than he could figure out,
but they were gone and when Pueblo
was reached he got off the train to
wait for the Missouri Pacific which
was to take him on his Journey east.
He secured another hat and pair of
shoes and reported the matter to the
police department, though he had no
clew to the thief and could give no
description of him whatever.
This is the first instance where the
shoes were taken from a mans feet
ever reported to the police department
and it excited considerable comment
and laughter while the young man
