Sir Frederick Treves the kings surgeon
paid a high tribute To the marvellous eff

Nothing astounded me more he said
I'm my recent visit TO the country than
the way in which the Japanese have in

western world, and the marvellous thing
they are making out of it.
"One can seriously credit. for instance
the astonishing advance made by the Japa-

Double Love Tragedy.
! Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NICE, May 20, 1908.
Great excitement was caused this week by
a double love tragedy characterized by some
remarkable circumstances.
A young sculptor named Luigi Borghezi
and a girl of nineteen named Ugolina Cas-
scla, belonging to one of the leading fami-
lies, were passionately in love with one an
other. The parents of both approved the at
tachment and nothing stood in the way Of
their union.
Tuesday the young couple, who had be-
come noticeably depressed and preoccupied,
suddenly disappeared. Greatly alarmed, the
parents caused an investigation to be made
Thursday morning. To their inexpressible
grief the dead bodies of the lovers were dis
covered in the MaZzano cemetery. In both
cases the brains were blown out
The tragic end to the attachment is at
tributed to morbid emotions caused by the
reading of romance, to which the young
people were passionately addicted.

Telephone as a Barometer.
Correspondence of The Star.


PARIS, May 20, 1900
When the telephone refuses to fulfill the
office for which it is intended you can al
ways, says popular scientific writer, turn
it to account by employing it as a barom-
eter. Having planted two iron rods in the
garden at a distance of about twenty feet
one from the other you connect both with
the wire Of your telephone. The soil N
which the rods stand must be well soaked
every eight or ten days with solution
of hydrochlorate of ammonia. Then by
listening at the telephone you will be
able to forecast the weather. at least
twelve hours in advance more accurately
than with any barometer. If you hear
cracking or pattering noise like that
of hailstones on the roof you will know
that rainstorm IS not far distant. A
low murmuring sound described POLITICALLY
as Like the distant twitterng of BIRDS
foretells sudden change in the tempera-
ture.
