fearless And Independent.

The ~ChicagoRecord-H Herald is a con-
.spicuous example Of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non
partisanshlp in the columns Of a great
metropolitan daily paper. 1t is an in
dependent newspaper, in which men
and measures are invariably viewed
wholly from the standpoint of the public
good, and not from that of the interests
of any particular political party. 1t is
the very reverse OF neutral-fearless and
outspoken on all the great questions of
the day, but presenting its editorial
opinion upon independent judgment
and entirely regardless of political afilia-
tons. Pa%rtisanship is barred as strictly
from the news columns as from the edi-
torial page. All political news is given
without partisan coloring, thus enabling
the reader to form correct conclusions
Tor himself. In the ordinary partisan
newspaper political news is usually
colored to such an extent as to maxi it
difficult if not impossible for the reader
to secure a sound basis for intelligent
judgment.

How Dew Forms.

Dew was formerly supposed to fall
softly from the heavens, and to this
belief may be ascribed many current
and poetical phrases; but dew does
not fall in the exact meaning of the
term. The condensation of watery
vapor follows upon the chilling of the
air. This is seen as the earth cools
toward night, and it takes place most
rapidly near the ground. Grass and
other vegetation cools more rapidly
than the air above it. The air in cor
tact with plants is thus chilled and de-
posits it's moisture upon the leaves Of
the plants in dew. When the chilling
Of the air proceeds further, the mois-
ture may be precipitated to a consider
able height above the earth's surface,
and it then becomes what we call fog.

district, they organized a party and
sailed fort, to find him.

curdling growl 1t was upon him and
he was brushed from his horse like a
man Of straw. And then, though he
was a man Of fully 145 pounds weight,
the great beast seized him as a cat
seizes a kitten and started of with
him toward the jungle. 1t was i'm
possible to shoot for fear of killing the
man, and 10 we had to make the chase
on of strategy. Finally, near the edge
Of the underground, we cornered the
tiger, and It dropped its luckless bur-

rifle ended its days Of pillage. It had

why the Mystery Tale Succeeds.

WHY lAC Mystery AAAC oUCCeC0os
The mystery element enters to a
greater OF less degree into fiction Of
every kind. Indeed, it is the base of
all . literary interest. Primarily we
read a story ito see how it comes OUT
and, other things being equal, the
story in which the element of sus-
pense by deft construction and subtle
shaping is most successfully maintain
ed will be the most universally satisfy
ing and popular. The mystery tale Of
today is a story In which the element
of suspense is deliberately enlarged
and emphasized until it dominates ev-
cry other consideration in the story.
Characterization, atmosphere, emotion
al values-all become subordinated to
the great business of plot development.
The marshaling of incident, the sue
cessiOn Of climaxes in crescendo order,
the cumulative sweep of the narrative
while the secret Of the outcome Is care
fully withheld, is the affair here. Like
a periodic sentence of titanic size, the
tale is unrolled until with the conclud-
Ing paragraphs the meaning of all that
has gone before is made clear.-Lee F.
Hartman in Harper's Weekly.

Corsica and Eng1ana.

It is an almost forgotten fact that
for a period Of a little more than two
years during the Napoleonic wars Cor
sica was a British possession. After
the evacuation Of Toulon the British
government felt It necessary to take
the island. and Lord Hood, with Mel
son as brigadier, was sent to drive out
the French. With the capture Of Calvi.
July IL, 1794, where Nelson lost his
eye, the island fell into British hands.
and George III. formally accepted the
crown Of Corsica, appointing Sir
George Elliot al British viceroy and
allowing the Corsicans to retain their
legislative assembly. In 1896 the &C.
hvity of the French navy in other
parts Of the Mediterranean resulted in
a sudden decision of. the British gov
eminent to withdraw from the island.
The evacuation was completed on Oct.
26 Of that year, and Corsica reverted to
France.

The Dox Has No Mechanics.

The DOG Has No Mechanics.
In no well attested case has q dog
shown any ems as to the nature Of
any mechanical continuance. Dogs will
learn which way a door opens, and
rarely if w do they undiscerningly
close it when it is slightly ajar when
they wish to pass through the opening,
but I have never been able to observe
or obtain evidence to show that they
would pull down the latch in the way
In which a cat readily learns to do.
Much AS dogs have had to do with
guns. they display no kind of interest
in the arms except so far as they are
tokens Of sport to come. They con-
meet the explosion with the capture of
the game and will search for it in the
direction In which the barrel was
pointed. I have not, however, been
able to find that they know, as they
might readily do, when the weapon
was loaded and when empty. They
show no interest in it, such as mon
keys readily display toward any me.

Cooking In Naples.

In Naples cooking is done anywhere
and anyhow-inside and outside. on
sheet iron stoves, on tin boxes. in stone
jars OF in clay baked earth. Here a
cobbler sits from early to late out on
a corner Of a sidewalk near a public
"Latrina," to which he attends when
ever necessary; when not, he mends;
also makes shoes. Near him is a gran
lite arrangement where he cooks his
meals. 1t Is about one foot high,
square and open at the top, with space
deep enough for some charcoal. Be-
low the coal Is a crate. On M side
at the bottom is an opening for draft,
and a savory smell always arises from
a little black pot If one passes there
at noon or toward the evening. I saw
a stove and a woman busy cooking out
on a balcony, with about six feet of
stovepipe braced against the railing

The Mu6.

In many of the portraits of the six

Of rich, soft fur wound around the
wrist Of a noble dame. This was used
to cover the neck or fulfill the func-

attached q small animals head or a
skull cunningly wrought in metal and
adorned with precious stones. The

Of a single piece Of velvet, brocade or
