Robbers Get Registered Exprrss Let
 ters But Not the Express,

Vancouver. B.. C., May s.--The Ini- perial limited was held up on the main fine of the Pacific Railroad near Kan- loops, 250 miles from here, early today. The robbers compelled the engineer to uncouple the mall car from the rest of the train and haul 1t mile away where they rifled 1t of the registered letters.
 The robbers were under the impres- sion that the express packages were in the mail car but when they found that the express was in another car. they had not nerve enough to go back for 1t and slipped away into the hills.
 The robbery occurred near small station called Furror. between KaIn- loops and Ducks. Special officers have been sent from Vancouver to pursue the robbers. The bandits made no at- tempt to interfere with the passen- gers.

The sun baths do not cost anything

Crystal Sky Columns.

An explanation of curious optical
phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which Is called the ''pseu-
do aurora" is offered by scientist.
The phenomenon takes the form of
beautiful columns OF sllvery light
standing over electric arc lamps and
other bright lights and sometimes ap-
pearing almost to reach the zenith.
The scientist says that sometimes the
evening star has a bright shaft below
as we'll as above, while the rising moon
stands in a broad column OF light.
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal. On examination
he found that the crystals concerned
in the exhibition were thin six sided
plates Of ice, never more than one mil
limeter in diameter. When the wind
blows, these little plates are upset. and
the columns of light caused by reflec-
tlon from their surfaces disappear.

The Welfare of the East.

Omar Khayyam was famous Per
sian poet and mathematician In the
twelfth century. who was employed by
the Sultan Malik Shah In revising the
astronomical tables and In making a
thorough reform of the calendar. He Is
better known to us as the writer Of
some 800 eplgrams In verses OF four
lines which are unsurpassed In their
pure diction, fine wit and Crushing ga
tire. These clever and fascinating
quatrans were put into English by
Edward Fitzgerald, who in 1859 pub
lished The Rubalyat of Omar" rem
dering marked by exquisite melodious-
ness and by poetic insight and power.
Omar has been called the Voltalre Of
the east because Of bis brilliant and
pungent wit, while his depth of tender
ness and profound thought and his de-
nunciation OF the fate which dooms to
decay and death what is best and most
beautiful In the world reveals much
that reminds one of Byron, Swinburne
and sometimes Schopenhauer.

THE PEOPLE OF PARIS.
Their First Movements In RevoHu-

know the men of the people In Par
8 too well not to know that their first
movements In times OF revolution are
usually generous and that they are
best pleased to spend the days lmme-
lately following their triumph In
Boosting of their victory, laying down
the law and playing at being great
men. During that time 1t generally
happens that some government or 9TH
fr Is set up the police return to their
posts and the judge to his bench, and
when at last our great men consent to
more vulgar ground of petty and mali
clous human passions they are no
longer able to do SO and are reduced
to live simply like honest men. Be
sides, we have spent so many years In
Instructions that there has arisen
among us kind of morality peculiar
to times Of disorder and a special code
for days Of rebellion. According to
these exceptional laws, murder Is toll
Grated and havoc permitted, but theft
is strenuously forbidden, although this,
whatever one may say, does not pre-
vent a good deal of robbery from &C.
curing upon those days for the simple
reason that society In state of rebel
lion cannot be different from that at
any other time, and 1t will always con-
tain a number of rascals who as far as
they are concerned scorn the morality
of the main body and desplse Its point
of honor when they are unobserved.-
