WANTS CASTRO TO APOLOGIZE.

France VIII Send Warships to Vene-
zuela to Avenee M. Taigny.
Washington.-It is learned here that
France will demand an immediate
apology of President Castro for what
is regarded as his insulting and I'M
warranted treatment of NJ. Taigny, the
French charge d'affaires. Three
French warships are within striking
distance of the Venezuelan coast, and
two more, it has been reported from
Paris, are on the way to West Indian
waters. What form the displeasure
of France will take has been tentative
ly decided and the details of the pro-
gramme will be communicated conf
dentially to the Washington govern
ment. Not until President Castro has
felt the form of French dissatisfaction
will the world know whether a peace
full blockade is to be established or
whether a custom house will be seized
Should the seizure of custom houses
along the coast be decided on it is not
unlikely that in order to disabuse the
anxiety of the European powers lest
the payment of their claims is to be
stopped France may ask some outside
neutral power to act as receiver fol-
the custom house returns until Pres
ident Castro has apologized and given
assurance of his intention to resume
diplomatic relations with France.

in his prayer the widow, who was the
second wife of the deceased. His
brother, noticing the fact, sent his lit

There has been 4 little newspaper

CUSTOMS OF THE cANNIsALs
Tribes of Savages Observe Traditions
Among Themselves.

Even among the savages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there
are differences" said Paul Pucci,
young Italian traveller, at the Ra-
leigh. Some while ago, when ex-
ploring that country, learned a good
bit about the ways of the various
tribes. In a majority of them can
nibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but 1t
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon friends or even upon members
Of the same tribe. This delicacy OF
sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where
| noted the absence of any old per.
sons, learned that it was the proper
thing to add the aged inhabitants
to the local food supply. This con.
fined the population to the young and

PHENOMENA OF DREAMLANp.
Scientists Explanation Of the Visions
Of sleep.

A scientist explains some of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
falling through space" dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony of falling the sleeper
escapes the shock Of the actual stop
ping. The explanation is that the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves,
after falling from great heights in
tree tops, by clutching the branches.
The molecular changes in the cere-
bral cells due to the shock of stop
ping could not be transmitted, be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In similar manner,
by reverting to the habits Of animals
which existed centuries ago, the
same investigator finds an explanation
| for the mental state experienced by
| individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster" dream, the rep
tile and vermin" dream. color dreams
suffocation dreams, flying dreams and
