Needed.

1t is a popular belief. more or less loosely
formulated, that there is something 50 ter
rible and majestic in the human eye that
man has only to nix his gaze on the most
terrifying denizens OF the forest TO inspire
them with awe. Numerous instances. and
some wen authenticated, are on record Of
unarmed men. who have met the lion or
the tiger In his native jungles. liked their
eyes on his and compelled him 10 turn tail.
There is. then. some foundation for the
popular belief, but il a man having I'M
questioned faith in the awe-inspiring power
OF the human eye proposes TO put II TO the
test in his own person. considerable dis
erection is TO be recommended. not only Ia
the selection OF his beast. but also IA the
selection OF his locality. For example. he
should not make his hrst experiment with

buffalo. Many a hunter going through the
jungles has passed within an easy spring of

he has gone another 200 yards the same

STRIPED MULE IN PROSPECT
Department of Agriculture COntem-
plates Experiments with the
Zebra.

The United States Department OF Agri-
culture has obtained a zebra. There have
been trying days for the department lately,
what with the Keep commission investiga-
ting it's bureaus and skeptics critcising
crop estimates. 50 that the acquisition OF
an animal as unfamiliar as the zebra Is
something OF a consolation especially when
coming after a long quest. The expectation
OF the Department OF Agriculture is that
the zebraization OF American draft animals
will add greatly to the economis resources
OF the nation. Zebras are known to be
swift Of foot and strong OF sinew. Their
wild blood will impart 70 that Of the horse
and its congeners just the desirable quail
ties that will enable the draft animal to be
trOtter at its owners will.
The zebra has done well In harness.

The measure is successful only with the

Another giant building Is to be added to
the list OF those which have been already
planned for Omaha. 1t will cover a
plot OF ground 1872 feet square at the south
west corner OF Eighth and Leavenworth.
Attorney Francis A. Brogan has just
bought the Site paying 5000 for lot / on
the corner and 5000 for the lot adjoining
on the west. He says he represents east

their intention OF building a warehouse
covering the whole property 1a2x1s2 feet.
Who the real owners are. how many
stories high the building is to be and for
what purpose It Is to be used Mr.. Brogan
says he is not at liberty to divulge.
The lots are in the wholesale implement
district. The implement men say Il would
be natural to suppose that a Arm IN their
own line OF business would build on the
corner. None OF them can be found. how

delayed in TranSmisSinn). Only now
can the ScriouSn, IS OF the catastrophe
begin to be appreciated. The greater
part of tho modern houses here are I'M
safe for habtations, and the authorities
have organized Il special corps to pull
down the tottcrinS buildings. In most
of the streets it is not safe to walk IN
the pavement owing to falling debris.
Santiago resembles a camp. Tie
public squares and the principal ave
nues are crowded with people sleeping
in the open. All kinds of carriages and
carts have been requiSitiOncd to sleep
in. or even under them.
The night of August 16 was rendered
dreadful by flashing lightning and
pouring rain, the electric cables and
wires swapping as a result of the con-
slant strong shocks which occurred all
that night, causing the greatest con-
stcrnation which was heightened by the
pcaling of the fire bells announcing the
breaking out of fires in various quar-
ter; of the city. Each earth shock was
followed by walls and prayers from tho
people. who were kneeling in the rain
and mud. The first great shock lasted
four minutes AMI so seconds. Such II
long shock has never before occurred
in the memory of any inhabitant q
Santiago.
1t caused the bells of the churches to
ring in the steeples, pictures swung
out from the walls and there was Il
great heaving motion of the ground.
Experts say that the only thing which
saved Santiago from complete ruin
was that the motion was circular. The
principal shock was from Valparaiso
to Santiago and Mcripilla with its CEN
ter at Limanche. The two last-men-
toned towns were destroyed, as also
were Guillota and Llaillai.
The statement that the approach of
tho earthquake was announced by the
naval observatory at Valparaiso two
days previous to it's occurrence, is con-
firmed. The news was published in
the Chilean press, on Wednesday, Aug
ust IS. the day before the earthquake
occurred.
No really definite news has yet been
receivedS here from Valparaiso except
the governors official report to the
President, outlining the situation and
adding that he earnestly requests re-
Inducements of troops which today
were sent to him by forced marches.

tor LoI EFT was president of the Bank

ReddinG firm became known to the
bank officials, Senator Levitt was sent
for, but before he reached the city the
bank had closed and a receiver ap-
pointed. The receiver chosen by the
government was a. Stavert, mana ger
of the Bank of New Brunswick, and
formerly manager of the Boston branch
of the Bank of Nova Scotia. When
Receiver Stavert took charge Of the in
stitution he discovered a number Of al

case against him is still pending.
The failures resulted in the embar-
