CURIOUS CONVERSATIONS

One of the largest caves discovered
in eastern Kentucky, and one that
perhaps will rival the great Mammoth
cave in Edmondson county. has been
discovered on Lime Fork creek. In
southern Letcher county. A party of
sightseers explored its mysterious con-
fines to a distance of over seven miles.
They were unable to find any end to
the natural wonder. A large. swift
flowing stream of water was discov-
cred flowing into the undiscovered re-
gions.
An American physician, who has
been accustomed to experiment with
rabbits. generally found that chloro-
form killed them before he had a
chance to operate. Disguised at the
wastefulness Of this method. he tried
hypnotism on one rabbit that he had
left. and found, to his surprise. that
with few passes Of the hands he
could easily hypnotize the little crea-
ture SO perfectly that 1t lost all ca
pacity for movement or sensation. If
rabbits can be hypnotized, 1t will seem
perhaps a little less credible that
some diseases of horses may yield to
mental treatment.
A new kind of school is about to be
started by the authorities of Char
who. though not exactly i'll. are SO
weakly that they are very liable to be
attacked by disease, more especially
tuberculosis. The school is to be built
In the depths Of the Junfernheide
woods, near Berlin. and the children
will remain there the whole day, spe-
cial arrangements being made to sup
to receive from two to three hours In
struction daily, and are to spend the
rest of the day In taking healthy ex-
ercise in the forest.
Nowhere else In the world has the
progress of the press" been so rapid
as in Japan. The first daily" made
Its appearance In 1872. In 1890 there
were already TIC journals of one kind
or another, with circulation of well
over million. figures which have
been very largely increased since then
The increase Of all kinds of printed
matter Ia facilitated by the prevalent
low wages and the cheapness of paper.
The number Of books of all kinds is
also exceedingly high, an average of
nearly twenty-four thousand having
appeared between 1895 and 1899.

on some very strange animals. The

used to eat with a spoon from plate
and drink from a glass. with dinner
napkin tuched under his chin the

some time back. Cats and dogs, OF
course. are common on board ship.
The French warship Moroccan had a

Chicago had pig. Doves. pigeons.

anyhow. He was disgusted with uran-
ium-had lost lots OF money and
would have no more to do with the
business. He was advised to get
gold mine In the La Platas, for the
gold mines were unquestionably all
right. But no, he could write check
and get his gold from the bank, and
that was good enough for him. He Is
going to Needleton to see friend, an
old partner Of his, who is mining there.
It is said by other parties with whom
Mr. Poulot talked that he desires to
secure control Of all the uranium
mines in southwest Colorado for a
syndicate. and that the chances are
favorable for his putting large num-
ber of men to work in the near future.
He wants to buy an Indian cayuse
or a cowboys broncho to take across
