TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1905.

Senator Caffery of Louisiana predicts
the organization of new party. at
will be reform party" he said. Its
issues will be the tariff and the trusts.
The stand patters will stay with the
republicans while other republicans
will desert and join with many demo
Gratis in the new organization. Bryan
would like to lead them, but he will
not succeed. He has achieved nothing
but talk, and the people are convinced
Of his insincerity. The new leader
may be Roosevelt There is no telling
what move he may make in politics.
He is everywhere, from the bottom of
the sea to the mountain top"

EXTRAORDINARY sHELLFIsH,
Bivalve--of Singular Construction
That Bores in a Remark
able Manner.

I Perhaps the most extraordinary
,light-giving shellfish is the pholas, OF
file fish. 1t is a bivalve; that is to say
it has two shells, which are open al
both ends, and at each end is a cover
which fits over the opening. The fish
stays always in one place, apparently
without any life or movement, but il
is really a wide-awake. hungry crea,
ture. BY means of the covers to its
shells 1t can open and close them just
when it wants to and out of either
opening It thrusts IL long, crooked
hairy arms in search of its prey. Eight
smaller arms are generally tucked
away inside the shell.
! The pholas is found in all sorts OF
Neutrality-suspicious. at the bottom OF
the sea, sometimes hidden away in
Jumps of earth, sometimes lodged, shell
and all, IN the heart Of the hardest
marble, for the boring powers Of the
fish are truly marvellous.
II you take the pholas out Of its shell
it looks like a soft, round pudding.
with no instrument for boring into
even the softest substances. Its two
teeth are SO placed as to be useless for
the purpose; so are the covers to its
shells The implement which 1t uses
is a broad, feshy foot, which issues
from one end or the other Of its shell
and its method of boring suggested tc
the great engineer, Brunei, in 1914, the
way to make the Thames tunnel, and
served as a model for the machines
used in boring the Mont Cents tunnel
The pholas works thus: Fixing It
self firmly by its powerful foot, 1t uses
It as a center bit, around which II
makes its shell reyolve; the soft edges
Of the shell begin the perforation
which is afterward enlarged by the
rasplike action Of the rough interior
Though constantly worn down, It 10
replaced by a new formation from the
animal, SO that II is always kept in
good condition for boring.

A LETTER CARRIERS PALACE.
Home. a FTenchman Built With His
Own Hands in Twenty-six Years.

Home a .FTenchman Built Win his
Own Hands in Twenty-six Years.
There has. recently been discovered
in the Department of Drome, in
France, the extraordinary palace" of
a rural letter carrier. built in fantastic
style by himself. The letter carrier
erected his fairy mansion stone by
stone with his own hands.
On mis- way across country one day
he picked up strangely formed stone,
which flashed with brilliant colors.
This excited his interest, and he began
looking out for such things.
When he had collected quite a num-
Der of remarkable specimens he re-
solved to build a dwelling for himself
with them. He is now 60, and he has
cOnsecrated every moments leisure in
the last twenty-six years to the work.
Every stone in 1t he collected himself;
he has used $500 bags OF lime and ce-
ment and has expended about 5000
francs.
The palace" now includes 1000
cubic meters of solid masonry. 1t has
four faces, ranging from eighty to
thirty-five feet in length, and It varies
from twenty to twenty-five feet in
height.
One front displays an Arabic mosque
placed on top Of a Buddhist temple;
another resembles a Swiss chalet, but
is decorated with colored pebbles; a
third is in the style Of Roman tenn
pie. and the fourth of a castle Of the
middle ages.
The palace exhibits still other gro
tesQue features which are partly fash
Toned after nature and partly spring
from the letter carriers own inven-
ti0n. There are figures Of Egyptian
gods and Druid priests and priestesses,
sarcophagi. statues of the Virgin and
the evangelists. of death, Of the god
dess Of fruitfulness and Of angels. All
these are constructed with groups Of
colored stones arranged by the builder
to suit his own sweet Will
Below the building he has dug a
deep basement, in which, like the
Pharoahs. he has constructed a grave
in which be will be buried when he
dies. All around Il are labyrinths and
catacOmbs with stone figures represent
ing elephants. bears. ostriches. ser
penis. fiamingOes. geese and various
gods.
The man has concentrated the whole
interest Of his life upon the esiifiee; ne
now lives In II: he is extremely proud
Of Il and Of the celebrity that II has
gained him through the country. and
Is seemingly quite unconscious Of the
fact that he is generally regarded as
a little bit crazy. He has no greater
pleasure than In showing his great
work to visitors.

The growth of popular interest in
military rife shooting within the past
year has been little short of phenom-
email, says a warm admirer of that
business. This has been largely due
to the hearty cooperation of the press,
which recognized the fact that the
members Of the national board, COM
prising as they do representatives from
the army, navy, marine corps, Nation
al Guard, National Rife association.
together with a number Of men dis
unguished in civil life, had no other
thought in the undertaking than to
serve the best interests of their coun-
try. In consequence of the editorial
approval Of the press, the widespread
publication Of articles tending to in
cite public interest in the proposition,
and the work done by enthusiasts in
the National Rifle association and the
National Guard, military rife shooting
in America is to-day a more popular
sport and pastime than ever before.
At Fort Riley, Kan. last year, much
difficulty was experienced in obtaining
thirty-six entries, the minimum num-
Der, in the national individual match.
At Sea Grit this year there were 657
entries in the same contest. There
were last year nineteen teams entered
in for the national team match: this
year there were thirty-seven such en-
tries. Next year it is hoped that every
state and territory. including Porto
Rico and possibly the Philippines, will
be represented.

ATTACKED eY MEXICAN.
Charley Wing Chung Has Narrow Es-
cape From Death.
telegram.

A Mexican desperate held the
boards in Caliente for few minutes
Friday night or until r. ID. Turner.
manager of the Mint saloon, was at
tracted by the cries of Charley Wing
Chung. one of the local restaurant
proprietors of the town. The Mexi-
can was a bad one. His name was
Morgan. When he first arrived in
town he had money and he soon went
broke He sized up the town and
came to- the conclusion the Mongolian
would by far be the best to start in
on to replenish his now empty book.
He went In on the pretense that he
wanted a meal. He was not polite or
sociable about it either. and Charley
turned to put his meal on the fire
when Morris made lunge with a
miners candle stick and commenced
his deadly work. The Mexican
thought that he could finish the Chi
naman in a single stroke, but in this
he was mistaken. for the blow was
glancing one and ripped along side in
the feshy part of the back and plowed
it's way through the flesh. Finding tha'
be had failed in the first stroke he
made a lunge again. but only inflicted
a slight flesh wound. In desperation
be made desperate lunge with the
Chinaman by the throat. Charley
grabbed the candle stick with both
hands and il was then that Turner ap-
peared upon the scene and the Mexi-
can took out of the rear end of the
building in a dead run.
The Chinaman was severely injured,
but to what extent could not be
learned The motive was robbery
pure and simple. The Mexican was
of treacherous and desperate cast of
character, life was no value TO him.
The officers are using every effort 10
apprehend the desperate with every
prospects of getting him. II is such
desperate characters as this Mexican
is. are what has terrorized not only
some parts of Nevada. but the adjoin-
ing states and territories on the south

ought to be made an example of.
