Their Feet Were Frozen.

Prof Watson thought that the rats
had possibly managed to get through
the maze by the sense OF touch, so he
troze the feet of ,he little animals But
stiH the rats ran through the maze as
easily as ever.
To make the ,est complete, Prof.
Watson covered the heads of the rats
with eolIodin. Yet, despite this handi-
cap. combined with the loss OF eyes.
sense OF smell. and touch, the rats
managed 10 get away.
Mr.. Watson stated that the expert
mcnts prove that rats have a sixth
sense, which might be termed the sense
of direction.
He advanced the theory that man
himself might be found to possess the
sixth sense, the same as the lower ami
mails.

Gradually Kills Senses.

At the beginning of his experiments
DIP. Watson took several rats and placed
them in d box. From the center OF the
box was "a maze which led to freedom
and food
For several days the rats were per
mltted 20 go back and forth over the
path with all of their senses retained.
Then. gradually. Dr. Watson starJde to
XIII the animals various SEN ses.
The eyes were pried out, but the rats
went through the maze i'm the direction
of the food without difficulty. Blind
ness seemed TO be absolutely no factor
i'm the progress of the animals Every
time the rats We're brought back to the
box and released Jhey managed 10 get
out of the maze.
Prof Watson then removed the OIL
factory nerves f4om the rats and let
them try 10 escape from the maze. To
his amaZement, they escaped WitaOut
the least effort. They followed the
path TO freedom rs faithfully as il they
retained eyesight and the sense o.
smell.

Tri-Cltv league championship series in
this city this evening by II 10 16
The victory ties the victors with the
locals for first place, York having won
from Baltimore Ga Its own floor last
week,
The game was one OF The toughest
played here this season, and was eeon
through a brace taken by the visitors
toward the close Of the contest. The
winning point was scored IN a clever
field goal by Haisht.
York opened strong. and scored ten
points in the first half to four points
by the visitors, Washington displayed
no generalship, while the locals had
excellent team work. The first score
was mlde by Kaufman about two min
utes after play began,
WashingtOn's Rally.
In the second half, the teams displayed
reversed form, and the play was in
the locals territory the greater part
Of the twenty minutes. The manner in
which the visitors resumed their task
won the admiration of the large crowd
The fast pace washington set seemed
TO demoralize Captain Susong and his
men toward the close of the contest.
The locals made a desperate effort to
lead. but only once they succeeded. and
then for abOut minute ONLY
There was much holding and the de-
cisiOns 0f the referee were questioned
often. Siebert. the Gettysburg CoIleEs

One of the most ludicrous scenes in
the comedy The Marriage of Kitty
which is announced to be produced
at the Duncan on January End, by
Jules Murray OF New York, with Miss
Florence Gear In the leading role of
Kitty. is that where kitty and her
husband are brought together In their
own home-the villa ON the Lake OF
Geneva, and are compelled for the
sake of propriety to make love to
each other before the servants. They
have been married for the purpose of
observing the letter and not the spirit
OF the law of the baronet's uncle's
will, and now, total strangers that
they are. they are pushed into each
others arms and made to say and do
as they would IL their marriage were
as 1t should have been and not as It
really is. The jeers OF the Godfather
and the filters of the servants from
the background form one Of the finest
bits of humor ever seen on the unconl
ventional boards.

Burlington. Vt. Nov. 17.-Relatives of DIR.
Clinton F Gale of Wolcott, who disappeared
more than month ago, now convinced that
while suffering from mental depression he went
into the woods in the Adirondack region where
he may still be wandering. Descriptions of the
man have been sent to all camps, in the hope
that some clew to his movements after he left
this city may be obtained. DR.. Gale left his
home to meet his wife in Troy, n. Y. Appar-
emily he stopped over in Burlington for several
hours and then started for the Adirondacks after
borrowing a shotgun. He carried a rifle an
overcoat and suit case. and told fellow pas
senger' on the train that he was heartily tired Of
working so hard and that he was going hunting
in the AdirondacIs.
