OLD CHURCH CLOCK STOPS
After Sixty Years the Mechanism in
Trinity steeple, on Broadway,
- N. T., Gives Out.

New York.-After go years of useful
ness and having worn out one after an
other Of it's keepers, indirectly causing
the death of one, the clock in Trinity
church steeple, on Broadway, at the
head of Wall street, has ceased to turn.
Because of its cumbrous winding mech
anism, the clock was known as
killer" and the Trinity corporation
has experienced difficulty in finding a
man to take the job since the death of
j. Sperry, who was supposed to have in
jured himself internally while drawing
up the weight.
For several years the timepiece has
been approaching .senility. Recently it
ceased to chime on the quarter hour
hour and sometimes grew so lax as to
fail altogether. So irregular became
the movement of the hands that it was
decided by the corporation officials to
wind up the clocks career, and an en-
tirely new mechanism was ordered.
The new clock will weigh 5000 pounds.

HE'D HONOR PAUL JONES',
Ex-Naval Officer Suggests That the
Body Be Taken to All Our Chief
Cities and Exhibited.

) New York.-"The wish of various
cities to have the honor of giving
place of burial to the body of John
Paul Jones is worthy of commenda-
tion," said a retired naval officer of
New York. PERSONALLY prefer An
napolis, but have one suggestion to
make before final interment of the
body.
II would like to see the squadron
which will be sent for the remains
drop anchor first in New York harbor
on its return. After time the squad
ron should go to Boston, then to Ports
mouth, where the great sea captains
first battleship was constructed, and
then to Portland, Me. From Portland
the squadron should visit Philadelphia,
Annapolis, Charleston, Mobile and New
Orleans; maybe it ought to go to Hous-
ton. 1t should then return to New
York and the body should be brought
ashore. A funeral train suitably
equipped, should be in waiting. to make
q triumphal journey across the CONT
nent, stopping at the principal cities
between here and San Francisco. The
country should have the privilege of
rendering homage to the memory Of
the hero who has 50 long been neg
lectad."

APES BLOOD LIKE HUMAN.
Missing Link Discovered by a Ger
man Army Surgeon After
Many Investigations.

Berlin.-Prof. DR.. Uhlenhuth, an EN-.
inent army doctor, definitely claims to
have discovered the missing link" by
long series Of investigations, having
established the similarity in every re-
spect of the blood of the higher apes
and human beings.
II the blood serum of one animal be
mixed with that of any other the mix
ture remains clear; if, however, blood
be taken from an ape and injected into
the veins of rabbit the blood subse-
Quently taken from this rabbit becomes
troubled when mixed with more apes
blood. A similar results obtained if
human blood be injected into the veins
of a rabbit, and this simple experiment
is often relied upon to prove if a spot
of blood found on the clothes of sus-
pected murderer is human.
This phenomenon is observed only
when the blood of some living animal
is used and the higher the ape in the
scale of development the more pro-
nounced is the reaction. g..

Strange Honstrosity Seem BY Many
Persons n Colorado Hills-At-

Buena Vista, Cola strange animal
roaming the hills in the vicinity OF
Wildhorse, a station on the Colorado
Midland railway, two miles west bf this
city, has been seen number Of times
by various people and has been de-
scribed differently by each one. Il.
The most startling of all, however,
was the experience of q prominent
ranchwoman last evening She was
driving slowly along the road across
the Arkansas river, from where the
animal has it's lair, when her horse
sudddnly SHE'D, almost throwing her
from the rig. She was Mortified to see,
q few feet ahead OF her and in the
middle of the road, the monstr0sity.
1t was about the size and build of
= full-grown greyhound and of a drab
color, its glistening sides being covered
with black spots as large as silver dol
lars. 1t had long, smooth tail and
tAe woman declares: it had an almost
human face, and bristling red mus
tach Ornamented the proper place up
on its physiognomy. The eyes were
close together and deep set and it's
ears stood erect and were very point
ed. After a moment it uttered a pite-
Gus cry and skunk away through the
brush, turning at the top of the hill
for a last look. 1t stood erect on it's
hind feet, punctured the rarefied atmos-
phere with sounds that reverberated
among the crags and compelled pace
on the part of the usually staid horse
that was a revelation to the driver. A
number of hunting parties have tried
in vain to kill this animal and efforts
are being made to capture it alive.

STONE MEMORIAL FOR DOG
Lot Holders Of Cemetery Make Protest
Against Monument to Poodle
Valued at $15.

NorristoWn,. Pa--A marble tomb
stone, valued at SIS, inscribed "Our
Pet" is responsible for friction be-
tween the members and friends of a
North Wales family and the managers
of the North Wales Lutheran ceme-
terry
The body in the grave which the
family would have marked is that of
q poodle dog, buried few days ago
with ceremony. The dogs body was
in a coffin lined with silk, its exterior
adorned with plate and fancy handle
bars. There was profusion of flow
ers. and the family manifested deep
sorrow. The burial was accomplished
before the managers of the cemetery
were aware as to the family's plans.
When the tombstone was to be set
up the feeling of the neighboring lot
owners was aroused, and a protest
against its erection was filed with the
managers. A watch is being kept to
prevent the setting of the stone. The
matter is agitating the citizens of the
borough, and steps may be taken to
have the dogs body removed.

THIS BEETLE FOR TEMPERANCE.
Much Beer and Whiskey Lost Through a
Bug Just Discovered.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Feb. ls.-Prof. Harrison
Garman, entomologist OF the Kentucky
experimental station. has discovered a
new bug. which he has named the black
banded cash beetle. The remarkable thin z
about 1t is that 1t is a powerful ally of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
It's chief object in life has been to destroy
all the beer and whiskey that it could. 1t
does not consume the liquor, but bores
holes in the tops OF beer kegs and whiskey
and vinegar barrels. causing the beer to
sour and allowing the contents of the pack
ages TO escape. 1t IL believed 10 have
caused very large losses to brewers aud
distiIlers.
For a number Of years the brewers and
distillers Of this State have been trying TO
discover the cause Of their losses in this
respect. but they could not. A few months
ago a cooper employed by the Lexington
Brewing Company set TO work 10 find out
why the beer at that plant was continually
spelling
The material out Of which the kegs were
made was carefully examined. He dis
covered tiny furrow, about the size OF a
pinhole, penetrating stave. He then split
the stave 40 as to open the furrow. and
embedded IN it was tiny insect about one
sixteenth Of an inch In length, and in diane
ter about the size Of an ordinary pin.
Prof. OarmRn was notified Since Tint
time many other such insects have been
found in slaves. Prof. Garman has recon-
mended to the coopers 70 put the slaves in
boiling water before using them and the
adoption Of this method will save the
