PROPHECY OF THE WAR.
New York Clerk Declares Present Con-
fict Will Involve America and
Will Cost go, ,OOO,ooo Men.

A spirit, which he says appeared to him
several years ago and returned to re-
peat its warning at various intervals, has
vealed to Chesser Lortie, of Brooklyn,
the coming of vast war that Is to in-
volve 200, 900 900 people, and in which Co.
000,0 900 will be killed. To forestall this
horror Lortie has written President
Roosevelt and Pope Plus to warn them
that the war between Russia and Japan
is the beginning Of the threatened strug-
gle, in which Japan. England and the
United States are to be arrayed against
Russia, Germany and-France. Austria,
Spain, Italy and Turkey are to be in
volved, and the outcome of the whole
mixup will be that Turkey will be dis
membered and England will be severely
beaten She will be saved from destruc-
ton, he says. only by the timely assist
ance of the United States.
Lortie predicts that by March 10 the
vital change will occur. The prophet is
30 years old and lives with a widowed
mother and brother in fiat in East New
York. He has been clerk in the em-
ploy OF the Long Island railroad 13 years.

MUSIC FROM STARS.
INVENTION WHICH TRANSMITS
MELODIES FROM PLANETS.
Electrician Claims Keynote Of Ulti-
mate Communication Between the
Worlds for His Instruments
Light Rays Are Media.

Music from the stars! Captured mel
odies from the planetsi Prof. c. Albert
son, an electrica, engineer whose in
vention of the so-called magnet train"
created a sensation in Scientific circles
q few months ago, has invented an in
strument which he believes is the key
note of ultimate communication between
the planets.
Light rays are the media for bring
ing communications with the stars into
Prof. Albertson's hands. From the new
invention the music and original melo-
dies and harmonies of the stars may be
extracted AS we'll as other sounds no
mortal ever heard before. Light rays
from the sun, moon OF from the remot-
est visible star in space may be so util-
ized as to play the music of mortal COM
posers in a few weeks. Prof. Albert
son says he will have his experiments
brought to such degree Of perfection
that he will give midnight concert at
his home for scientists and the press.
1T is scientific fact" said Prof. AL
bertson, that a light ray falling upon
the surface of a small polished steel plate
for example will produce a tone.
Graham Bell long ago demonstrated that
a light ray may be used as a conductor
to carry the human voice. My invention
merely follows out this line of thought.
believe Messages from Mars will soon
be reality.
"A tone produced from a light ray
falling on polished steel plate is in
audible, however, unless the plate Is
inserted into an electric circuit also
containing a microphone or telephone
earpiece-that is the principle underly-
Ing my invention. Instead OF plate or
hollow steel shell. however, there are
involved a number of steel cylinders
varying in length. perfectly polished in
side and so arranged within box as
to vibrate freely. The entire box is
made a part of the electric circuit and
in this circuit is also a microphone or
earpiece.
I'm front of the cylinder is a revolv-
Ing disk which is so perforated that
light ray will be thrown in different d.
rections when passing through small
holes There IS prism fixed behind
a revolving disk and tube containing
a lens which may be directed toward any
star"
Prof Albertson believes his discov-
cry in stellar communication is in en-

Sounds and music transmitted from

ment is aimed at Arcturus sounds of con-
trast are heard at first. 1t sounded to
me like an ear-splitting hurricane. then
like roar of a thousand Niagaras, then
soothing like melodious. low whispering
and exquisite, soft singing. One nat
urally would think the more powerful
light ray the better the musical result,
but this is not So A far away fixed

QUEER THIBET CUSTOMS.
Sticking Out the Tongue Replaces
Handshake in the Mysterious
Country-Other Practices.

One of the few English women who
have set foot In Tbibet Related recent
ly some curious things which occur in
that mysterious land. The speaker was
Miss Susette Taylor, sister of the mis-
sionary, Miss Annie Taylor, and 1t was
to visit her sister that she journeyed into
the Chumbi valley, then little heard of.
Miss Taylor described the Thibetan as
"jungly" kind Of person. well enough
disposed to the European who behaves
with ordinary civility and common
sense. For instance, when the polite
Thibetan puts out his tongue at you, you
should not knock him down, for he Is
only being civil after his own kind The
insanitary hand-shake is not counte-
nanced. and its place In the code of civ
fifty is taken by the projected tongue.
Again, If you are passinga train Of
laden mules on narrow ledge of rock,
and your own mulcteer runs up and
casts himself against your legs. refrain
from kicking him over the preclpice. He
is not about to take your life. but mere
ly desires to protect you from damage
by the passing mule.
One day during Miss Taylor's journey
fearsome iogi, or holy man, with a
coiffure like a poodle, came along, and
Miss Taylor went timorously forth to
snapshot him. To her astonishment he
instantly struck a pose of complacent
sanctity.
Another day Miss Taylor strayed into
Buddhist temple at prayer time, but
her parasol excited such intense inter-
est that prayers were interrupted, while
the lama borrowed and opened it amid
a chorus of admiring murmurs.

BRITISH DEATH RATE Low.
Last Year Shows Lowest Percentage
on Record and Big Increase
in Population.

Last year, according to the figures
issued by the registrar general Of Eng
land, that country made record other
than that which marked 1t as the rain
lest year ever known. II was also the
year of the lowest death rate on rec
ord-15.4 per 1000.
The total number of deaths in Eng
land and Wales during 1903 was 514,-
450, and of these the enormous total Of
124S59 represented infants under one
year. This total, however, is the low
est since 1881. Deaths from violence,
including accidents, numbered 1882.
The average death rate of London
was 1876 during the last ten years,
which compares as follows with that Of
other cities:
Christiania, 1877; Antwerp, 1876; Co
penhagen, al; Berlin. 1873; Chicago.
11.2; London, 1856; Paris, 1866: Vienna,
16.9; New York, 2O.4: Trieste. 1872:
Moscow, 240; Bombay, 362; Madras,
400.
Births during the year in England
and Wales totaled a47,949. and the nat
ural increase Of population by excess
of births over deaths was thus 433.-
499, as against an average for FIVE
years of 36S,213.
At the same time the number of per-
sons emigrating during the year was
44s,739, of whom 1S3.39O were English,
37,515 Scottish, 46.241 Irish, and 1S1,-
593 of foreign origin. The Irish emf
grants show an increase of nine per
cent. over the previous year.
