UNIVERSAL POSTAL CONGRESS OPENS
Convention Opened in Rome Today
United States Is Represented
by Captain Brooks.

ROME, April 5.-The Universal Pos
every country belonging to the Uni
versal Postal union represented. The
United States is represented by Cap
tain n. NJ. Brooks, superintendent of
foreign mails in the postoffice depart
ment. and Edward ROsewater, pro-
prietor of the Omaha Bee, who was
also one of the delegates to the con-
gress of 1897. which was held in Wash
ington. d. c.
one of the questions which will
probably come up for consideration is
the adoption of a UNIVERSAL postage
stamp. Mr.. RoseWater is opposed to
the plan on the ground that. as the
stamps would be alike, it would be
impossible to strike a balance. for
there would be no way of telling where
the stamps had been purchased.
Another question which will prob
ably come up for action will be the
proposition to increase the weight OF
the letters. At present the weight of
a letter carried by a five-cent stamp
is one-half ounce This limit will
probably be increased by the congress.
Two other matters to be considered
are the parcels post and the perfect

CONNECTS THE BRAIN.
The Organ That Enables the Henri.
spheres to Act In Harmony.


Near the base of every we'll organ
lied human brain there is situated a
curious little spongy body called the
corpus callosum. This all important
little organ consists of a double chain
of white nerve fibers, and it Is through
these that the two portions (hemi-
spheres) of the brain are enabled to act
in harmony by being continually
brought into anatomical and physiolog-
ical relations with each other.
Several years ago well known Phil
adelphia physician and surgeon, DR..
4. II. Stevens, made the announcement
that, in his belief. the corpus callosum
was the seat of the soul. His peculiar
ideas were given quite an airing
through the press at that time, but the
whole theory fell pretty fat when DR..
A. F. Sawyer of San Francisco proved
that a certain west coast worthy had
survived twenty years after having the
entire corpus callosum shot out Of his
thought tank and that another had
lived eleven years after sustaining a
similar injury. TIE Psychologists were
pretty we'll agreed that mans life
would terminate the moment his soul
made its exit on the lead Of a pistol
cartridge It was these well attested
cases Of men living after losing the cor
pus callosum that caused DR.. Stevens
''soul theory" to relapse into obscurity.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
The house immigration committee will
be prepared to report an immigration
bill in a few days, providing for i'm
portant changes in the laws. A sub
committee is now considering the doz-
en- or more bills before the committee,
and from this number a general bill
hopes to have the bill on the house
calendar this week. SO far as the
committee has gone the bill report
ed will be essentially different from
the recommendations of the immigra-
ton bureau. The majority of the
members of the committee are in ia
vor of head tax of So. This will,
undoubtedly, be one of the provisions
of the bill. Another provision will
probably require that immigrants shall
have a certain amount of pocket mon

heads of families. The object of this
provision is to keep out the poverty
stricken class and also to prevent vio-
lations of the contract labor laws.
There will also be a provision in the
bill for an educational test of the i'm
migrants. Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts. is making a strong eff
fort to have the bill so framed as
largely to restrict the volume of i'm
migration, but other members of the
committee are in favor of regulations
insuring physical. mental and moral
soundness, regardless of the number
of people admitted.

SPEED OF ANIMALS.

The Greyhound Leads. Followed ~
the Horse and the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
corning the relative speed Of animals
appeared in the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare, and
then comes the good. big. bold dog
fox, which is a fine gailoper on good
going. In comparison with any OF
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound fat turf Is as slow as man
moving grass for haymaking. But II
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
on rough clods, whether melted or not,
Z hare cannot run at all; hence she gen.
orally takes care not to go there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu'
ally lies in her form near the fringe OF
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind legs hare
can beat anything up steep hill. A
foxhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay pillow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt.
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter. though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion Of a good
horseman, who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run Of eight miles within the hour
in either Of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body Of the
field behind, but it would be easy to a
riding man on a galloping horse when
the March winds have dried the coun.
