The Luster Of Opals.

Many gems often without any appar-
ent cause suddenly become cracked or
scanned. the damage being beyond re-
pair. Opals, known as the unluckiest
stones, are so sensitive that their beau.
ty is frequently destroyed by their
wearer's proximity to an open fire. The
luster OF this stone is caused by the
presence OF myriads of little assures.
which defect the light into the charac-
teristic prismatic color Of the gem. The
dniest Of these assures is likely at any
moment to destroy the stone.

CLIMBING ELEPHANTS.
How They Make Their Way Up ana
Down steep Cliffs.

Elephants are able to make their
way up and down mountains and
through country of steep cliffs, where
mules would not dare to venture and
even where men find passage difficult.
Their tracks have been found upon the
very summit of mountains over 1000
feet high. In these journeys an ele-
phant is often compelled to descend
hills and mountain sides which are al
most precipitous. This is the way in
which 1t is done: The elephants first
maneuver is to kneel down close to the
deciivity. One fore leg is then eau
tiously passed over the edge and Il
short way down the slope, and if he
finds there is no good spot for firm
foothold he speedily forms one by
stamping into the soil If it is moist or
kicking out footing If it is dry.
When he Is sure OF good foothold. the
other fore leg, is brought down in the
same way. Then he performs the same
work over again with his feet bring
ing both fore legs little in advance
Of the first foothold. This leaves good
places all ready made for the hind feet.
Now. bracing himself up by his huge.
strong fore legs. he draws his hind legs,
6rst one and then the other, carefully
over the edge. where they occupy the
flrst places made by the fore feet This
= the way the huge animal proceeds
all the way down. zigxag. kneeling ev-
cry time with the two hind legs while
he makes footholds with his fore feet.
Thus the center OF gravity II preserved

AN EMPERoR's TASTE.

\ Was the Origin Of Common Say.
ing In Austria.
An anecdote which was current OF
Ferdinand /. of Austria at one time1
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to common saying. One sum
mer day he was hunting In the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge In a farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fam
q was caught by some smoking dump
lings made Of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more.
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
ror Of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu. and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant Of men. but he now show
"a that he had q win Of his own and
persisted In gratifying his new fancy.
finally the physicians pretended that
Il was dangerous to his health to b
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
elared that he would never sign anoth-
e official document II his diet were
denied him.
Emperor l am" he shouted. 'and
dumplings I will have!'
To prevent stoppage Of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty chung tena-
ciously to his dumplings. Then the I'M
perial phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted on
gratifying q silly whim some one was
sure to say:
emperor am, and dumplings win
have!''

were overawed by Chief of Police

where they are still resting up and

brought down this afternoon and it is
probable that a charge of disorder1y
conduct will be lodged against them. It
is thought that the three Italians had
been drinking to excess and as two of
them had revolvers they started out to
make trouble. They went to the
corner of West Main street and Grand
avenue and one of them lay down on
the tracks of the railway company.

whipped out their revo1vers and were
confronting the brakeman. The
brakeman shouted for help and a
crowd gathered in less time than it
takes to tell it.
The Italians seemed to glory in the
trouble they had raised but no shots
were fired and they made no attempt
to carry out their threats. A riot call
was sent to the police Office and the
chief responded in person. He
walked right up to the bold bandits
and, disarming them, took them off to

were from Chicago, but investigation
showed that they belonged to the

NAY ABANDON PLAN
Attorneys Find Many Difficulties
in Way Of City Securing the
Orphan Asylum Tract
MAY DEMAND A HIGH PRICE


Attorney Charles .Quarles, of Mil
waukee, came to Kenosha on Friday
afternoon to confer with attorneys
Fisher and Slater in regard to the
plan of the city to secure the use Of
the Orphan Asylum tract at the cor
ner of Rowland avenue and Garden
streets, and after the conference of
the attorneys it was admitted that
many difficulties were found IN the
way of the city securing the prop
erty. The attorneys had planned to
present a petition to the circuit court
on Thursday next, askingSfor the sale
of two acres of the property to the
city. The plan was that the city
should buy the two acres, for consid-
Grafton of 81, 100, the amount that is
due for sewer taxes, but it is found
thatthe first difdcultythat.wi1l be met
with is such purchase price, as the
law holds that the property must be
sold for reasonable consideration,
and it is claimed that the two acres of
land, if placed on the market, would
bring a larger purchase price. In
fact, it is possible that the city might
be called upon to pay from two TO
three thousand dollars for the prop
erty.
Again, it is discovered that the
Fisk heirs are not entirely agreeable
to the sale of the property under such
a petition, and it is possible that they
will go into court and protest the
granting Of an order for the sale.
These heirs have never made any
claim against the city in the past and
have of course paid no taxes on the
land, as It has been exempt from taxa
ton, but it is probable that they will
insist that the property either be used
as site for an orphan asylum, as
provided in the original deed Of gift,
or that it revert to the heirs. AS the
board of education has taken steps to
secure another site for the school, it
is probable that the matter will be
dropped for the present at least.

Conscience Stricken John Kramer
Surrenders to Officials and
Admits Burglary
WANTS 70 START YEAR RIGHT
Admits That He Burglarized the Home
of Otto Bowman in the Town of
Pleasant Prairie Last September
and Will Take Sentence

John Kramer, man past middle
life, walked into the office of the
county Jail Friday evening and
asked that he be allowed to surrender
himself to answer to charge of
burglary. He admitted that he had
entered the home of Otto Bowman on
the Rogers farm in the town Of Pleas
ant Prairie last September, and had
secured booty to the amount of nearly
500. Kramer had walked all the way
from Waukegan to Kenosha to sur
render himself to the officers and
when he reached the jail he was foot
sore and weary. Kramer claims that
he is not tramp and that he has
long been considering giving himself
up to the officers as his conscience
has been troubling him.
After Kramer had been placed in
the tramp room for safe keeping for
the night he talked freely of his crime
and told the turnkey how he had
entered the Bowman home during the
absence of the family and had stolen
ten dollars in money, a suit of clothes
and shot gun. He managed to dis
pose of the booty and since the
robbery he had been repeatedly in Ke-
nosha. The robbery at the Bowman
home was reported to the officers of
the county and city, but they had no
clue to the guilty parties and little
effort had been made to locate and
arrest them.
Bowman claimed that when he came
to Kenosha he expected to be arrested
and that several times he had been
ready to go to the Jail and surrender
himself, but that he had never been
able to get his nerve up to that point.
With the close of the year, however,
he reached Waukegan from Chicago
and he at once made the decision to
give up and take his medicine He
left Waukegan early Friday morning
and walked ali the way to Kenosha.
The sheriff and Turnkey Lineweber
were at first inclined to doubt the
story of the man, but he managed to
give them such close details OF the
robbery that they are now convinced
chat the fellow is seeking to atone for
his crime. Bowman will come to Ke-
nosha this afternoon and it is probable
that formal complaint will be made
against Kramer and he will be ar
rested on the charge of burglary.
Even should Bowman refuse to make
the complaint it is probable that the
county officers will insist on Kramer
being held for a preliminary exami-
nation. Kramer claims that he form
erly lived in this county but that he
had been living in Waukegan for
some time.
