Although Lime City is not a part of
the village of Perrysburg. it is so
closely associated with the business
interests of this place and being in the
same township also, that the JOURNAL

gether with the advertisement of Mr..
G. F. Rider, so well and favorably
known among our citizens.

A Persistent Dun.

An aged lady complained to
LonaAa magistrate that because she
was little behind in her rent her
1@ndiady followed her 70 church and
asked for it there. The landlady
came into a pew alongside of her
and when she was joining in the re-
sponses was constantly whispering
to her about the rent. When it came
to the response, "Incline our
hearts" the landlady would add,
''To pay our rent" The magistrate
said that it was very annoying, but
there was nothing illegal in it.

A Famous Map.

Interesting discoveries are made
now and then by students in the big
old libraries. While Baron Nor
denskiold was gathering material
for his "Atlas of Ancient Cartogra-
ply" he discovered in the British
museum the only known copy of the
earliest general map of Germany.
This was the famous map of Car
dinal Nicolas of Cues. The map
was completed in 1864. This find
greatly interested geographers. Mer-
Gators famous map of Germany was
published more than century after
that of the learned cardinal.

Hoover's Discovery of the Nature and
Cause Of Electricity.

The principal of the village acad-
| emy in Painesville, o., during the
tifties of the past century was Mr..
Baldwin Bishop. He was a man
whose heart and soul were in his
work. He was sure in some unex-
pected and original way to show his
disapproval of any individual in the
institution with which he was con-
nectcd who could justly be called a
shirker. There was in one of the
classes of which Professor Bishop
had charge lad by the name of
Hoover, who had cvaded the recita.
sion of his lessons when called upon
TO take his part, pleading poor
memory. His delinquencies were,
however, almost, if not entirely, due
to a lack OF application, and this the
professor more than suspected.
During the week before the school
session ended for vacation, eXamina-
tions, embracing the subjects stud
led by the pupils during the whole
term, took place in the class rooms

of the relatives and friends of the
students to visit the academy. On
the occasion referred to the presence
of number of young lady acquain-

their best.
The subject on which they were
expected to show their proficiency
was that of natural philosophy. Aft
er several members of the class had
distinguished themselves more or
less creditably in their attempts to
explain familiar phenomena Hoover,
who had evidently been dreading the
ordeal, was suddenly called upon
and, in Difference to ''rule and Gus
tom, of time and place." stood up to
be questioned.
"Mr. Hoover" said Professor
Bishop, will you kindly explain to
us the cause and nature of electrici-
ty?"
The question surprised every one
present but Hoover. All questions
bearing upon any subject the elias;

A curious instance of the forma-

 Another section of this truly wonder ful region is given almost wholly to dumbbells. These vary in size from pieces weighing one or two pounds up to those seemingly calculated for exer- cislng the muscles of a giant and weighing thirty or forty pounds each. In almost every instance these natural dumbbells are well balancd, the balls at either end of the connecting piece being of tn same size and weight. There is in this plain an arsenal also. While guns and swords and .bayoneets and powder were not there to be found, there ar thousands of cannon balls va rying in size from two and three inch balls to those fit for the big thirteen inch guns of modern warfare, and all. are of stone, all formed in iature's

In one portion of Yuha rise two hills,

 eminences he discovers them to be | monuments to an ancient life-the re-
 cords of species now extinct. They are
 shell mountains, great beds of prehis- | torfc bivalves, which were left strand | ed when that ancient sea swept back
 from the region and left a dry and des- olate land.
 One of these mountains large

PROBABLE CONTEST OYER PRO-
 LESSOR OATS WILL.

When the will of the late George E. Day, professor emeritus in the Yale Di- vinity school, who died a short time ago leaving ali estate valued at about $50,000, was offered for probate yester- day morning by Attorney Henry c. White, 1t developed that contest of the will is probable. The contestant is Robert E. Day, one time city editor of the Palladium and now editor of the West Side in the borough of the Bronx, NewYork. He is son of the late Horace Day, Dr. Days brother, and is the latters only nephew. He was re- membered to the extent of $4,00O, but believes he should receive more. James P. Pigott, attorney for MT. Day, did not show his case when the will was offered for probate yesterday, but con- fined himself to questioning Professor Frank c. Porter and Prof. John $. Ely of Yale, witnesses to the will. The last page of the will is slightly torn and on the back of it was pasted another piece of paper, bringing the edges together so as to conceal any break.
 MT. Days attorney, when asked re- specting the contest, said he did not care to say what the grounds were.
 A continuance was granted by Judge Cleaveland until next Friday, when Professor Franklin B. Dexter, also of Yale, and the third witness to the will, will be examined. MT. Pigott is desir- ous of first hearing what he has to say before proceeding further. At this time no formal notice of contest has been filed with the court, but that one will be filed goes without saying.

ON THE PLAINS OF YUHA.
Wonderful Curiosities Found in
 Deadly Desert.

Wonderful Curiosities Found in a
 Deadly Desert.
 There is a section of the Colorado desert where nature has left some re markable records. She has visited the region, alternately, with fir eand wa4 ter, and has left 1t with neither. It is the most desolate, wild, barren, forbid ding part of the desert, and It is summed alike by man and beast. That there is good and sufficient reason for avoiding this locality is attested by numbers of graves-nameless, for the most part-found in the terrible region.
 These graves are simple affairs merely mounds of earth, with a border of stones around each and pile of rocks two or three feet high at the head. Each tells the story of a tragedy of heat, thirst and death. Those items are about all that is ever known of the stories of those who perish Their mummtfied bodies of hleached bones are found long after the struggle is over, and the finder, respecting the memory of the unknown, scoops a hole n the earth, lays the ghastly relic with ln' and piles up the only monument available in that wild region.
 As recently as December 1S, 1904. the bones of a thirst victim were laid in one of these lonely, fiowerless, turfless graves on the plains of Yuha.
 The plain now lies nearly one hum dred feet below the level of the sea- and the rocks of the plain and the bases of the mountains are washed and eroded in a wonderful manner. Min gltng with the burnt stones and volcan- ic debris are rocks worn by the waves
