w. R. Williamson was pain fully injured in a rather peculiar manner Sunday night, says the Newark Journal.
 He blew out the lamp and started to get in bed and in some manner the railing on one side of the bedstead gave way and MT. Williamson fell in such a manner that the lower part of his back struck the railing and two of his ribs were broken.
 It was thought for a while that he was otherwise internally injured, but fortunately was not, and was reported yesterday to be getting along very well.

IDENTIFIED AS
 NOTED OUTLAW. Van Buren Arrest Declared to Be Ben Craven, Who Assisted Sheriff Powers Murderer
 to Make Escape.

Van Buren, Jan. 27. A de- tective from Oklahoma City upon visiting the jailrecognized George Hannah, the man arrested here January 1, having in his posses sion nitro-glycerine, as Ben Cra- ven, a noted outlaw who has been wanted in the southwest.
 Craven has a record that would furnish material for a dime novel. He it was who aided John P. Dunn, the slayer of Sheriff Powers at Clarksville, to escape from the Wichita 5hospi- tai and is said to have committed several murders.
 This supported the theory that the companion who was with him at the time of the arrest, and who escaped, was John P. Dunn. Craven is described as one of the most desperate crimi- nals known to the officers.

Defied~ the Goddess Pele

on, undaunted. On the edge of the
crater a shelter had been built, where
she passed the night, within sight and
smell of the seething, boiling hell OF
fire.
In the morning she rose, descended
into the crater as far as it was pos
sible to go, and, standing upon the
"black edge" in full view of the anaz-
ed spectators, who expected every
minute to see her scorched and with
cred by the angry goddess, she delib-
erately ate a bunch Of ohelo berries,
which, as sacred to the goddess, no
one had hitherto dared to touch, and
flung the stones into the awful fiery
lake as she cried out: Thus do 1
defy thee, O Pele! Jehovah is my
God. He kindles these fires and he
preserves me in breaking your tabns-''
Then, by herself and few Christ

sung a prayer, offered to the true God,

Small and slim, he finally succeeded
in making his way inside the subter-
ranean chamber. Witnesses of his at
tack of Dolphin stood in front OF the
Enclosure for half an hour waiting for
him to reappear, but he did not come
out of the burrow.
They were surprised soon afterward
to see Dolphin poke his head cautious
~ out of a burrow which evidently led
to another passage connecting with
the underground chamber into which
he had lured the cat. After surveying
the village with keen eyes, Dolphin
came out of the burrow and in re-
Spouse to his sharp bar1s other prairie
dogs left their homes to come to the
surface.
While they were percl1ed on knobs;
late in the afternoon faint cries issued
from the entrance of the burrow which
Green Eyes had entered. They were
followed by the appearance of his head
and then of his body as he squeezed
out of the burrow His body was coy-
cred with dirt. and he had evidently
been compelled to dig his way out OF
his prison. Without making an at,
tempt to attack the prairie dogs, he'
hurried from the village.

Land for Worlds Felons

mise with logic by establishing penal
colonies, where felons are permitted
in a measure to shift for themselves.
But these colonies are only halfway
measures. The logical, humane and
most effectual solution of the prob
lem would be the setting apart OF
some great territory-say the heart OF
Africa or some large island, not too
fertile-as a general dumping ground
Cor the criminals of all nations.
There the outlaws could set up
society of their own. Necessity would
compel them to dig and build for
themselves. They would have to work
or starve. The frontiers or coasts OF
the felons' land could be policed by
patrol composed of detachments from
the armies and navies of all the ma
tons in order to prevent escapes
Summary death should be, of course,
the penalty for breaking bounds. The
powers, however, could refuse to take
any part in the internal administra-
ton of the territory thus set up. The
criminals could do what they pleased,
have anarchy or a communism, re-
public or an autocracy, whichever
suited them

More Perilous Than War

If one compares the strength of the
corps of a few thousand clerks with
the $4,000 men in the regular army
we will find that the percentage Of
fatalities in railway mail service is:
much higher than in active army duty
It is probable, too, that disease takes:
off a greater number of railway clerks
in proportion than it does soldiers.
This includes the army in the Philip
pines, where there is always more or
less trouble. It does not include the
three army officers killed, burt they
would still not change the fact that

Che stnuts a Good Food.

terials are lost. In the cooking OF
both the chestnut and the potato by
baking the effect is much the same as
by boiling; the natural water of the
nut and of the tuber is partly expelled
as steam which swells or cooks the
starchy particles.
Chestnuts lose but little of their nu-
tritive constituents when boiled, but
they are best baked or roasted, as di-
etetically also is the potato. 1t is a
pity that the chestnut is not appreci-
ated in this country as it is in France,
where the peasantry find it very
sustaining and agreeable food. There
are enormous quantities of food in
the shape of chestnuts wasted in this
country and yet it is particularly

Lured into an abandoned burrow by
his prospective victim, Green Eyes,
cat who has long preyed on the prairie
dogs in the menagerie in Central park,
says the New York Herald, was i'm
prisoned yesterday for many hours
through the strategy Of Dolphin, their
king.
Dolphin was the only prairie dog on
the surface when Green Eyes looked
about for further prey. Frightened by
the arrival of the cat, Dolphin's sub
jects sought shelter in their subter-
ranean homes. Apparently uncon-
scious Of his peril, Dolphin remained
on a knoll, watching the cat.
Suddenly darting forward, Green
Eyes made an attempt to seize his
victim. The latter, however, lodged
the cats attack and ran to the other
side of the Enclosure, followed by
Green Eyes. Then began a chase
which lasted for. more than five min
ute3, and ended by the disappearance
Of Dolphin into an abandoned burrow
just as he was apparently about to be
caught by his pursuer.
Green Eyes hesitated few seconds
and then started to squeeze his body
through the entrance of the burrow.

Life in Jerusalem, according to Miss
A. Goodrich Freer, the author OF en-
ner Jerusalem" is one Of anomalies
and anachronisms. The street arab
speaks three or four languages.
Apart from the tourist, who are repre-
sentatives of half Of the nations Of the
world, there are Jews, Mohammedans
and Christians. The streets of Jerus-
alem are unspeakably filthy. One can
buy anything he wants in the city.
There are even French dressmakers
who will follow out the latest Partisan
fashion. Water is scarce and mainly
derived from cisterns. The rainfall
AVERAGES only thirty forty~i inches
There is trade in good water which
comes from the village of Ain Karin,
some three miles distant from Jerus-
allen. There is most unpleasant
wind, the sfrocco, which is fatal to
vegetation, "exhausting to the nerves,
irritating to the temper, parching the
skin and ruinous to the hair and COM
plexion." The dews are heavy. Jerus-
alem has its special diseases, but the
cure is found in quinine.
Insect pests are the mosquitoes and
most particularly the sand flies. One
may keep out the mosquito, but the
