Chicago, July IA. Gourdaip,
who was released from the Cook
county Jail yesterday on bonds of
$40, 900, presented short time la
ter the unique spectacle Of a man
trying to break into the penitentia-
ry. just after he was given his lib.
erty the former banker hurried on
an electric Car to Joliet and de.
manded OF the chief deputy that he
be incarcerated. The deputy denied
the strange request and Gourdain
started back to Chicago with the
avowed intention OF instituting
mandamus proceedings to compel
the authorities to put him in prison
at once, that he might begin with
out delay serving the 4 IL years
sentence for operating lottery.
Gour lain later explained his
aversion to the Cook county jail.
I propose to serve my sentence eve
ry day of it," said he, "but I will
not do it in the county Jail. NY
objection is the noise and the close
proximity of the street. At Joli. t
it Is quiet and my rest is never die
turbed with ribald songs and clang-
ing bells. If l cannot serve N.
sentence any other way shall build
a penitentiary somewhere on the
side of hill and live in a cell for
4 IL years."

PECULIAR a.eAns OF DEFENSE
small Daggers of Light Sent Out by
the ceneipede.

Among the peculiar powers OF AMI
nels there are none harder to explain
than the power of being selfluminous.
It is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence. but it is not now supposed to
deoend upon phosphorus in the ami
msl. A correspondent OF Nature de-
scribes her experience with a 1umi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose OF the luminous sub
stance as a means of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward over the gravel, leaving behind
n trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating. became scattered mass or
brilliant points. The scattered points
nroyed to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid over them. The
centipede was picked up and put IN
a tumbler where it flashed out a
mass of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape of the captive, strange
prickly sensation was felt as from
slight charge of electricity. The CEN
tipede would writhe the light out OF its
BODY in blue-green flashes until It had
exhausted its luminosity and ceased
10 shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
IL Is Dedicated by the w. /. Douglas
Co. at Broekton,

The dedication short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. L.
Douglas Shoe Co. as part Of its mann
moth manufacturing plant at Montel1o
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic Of the
firm in all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from IL a. m. to p. N.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes Of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the Offices,
which are maryels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufactur-
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says the latch string is always out.
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and Gus
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and chi1dren's shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bing house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
viii be finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an Office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des-
patch of mail.

reptile resisting him and biting him
