BY use OF Xrayn ana the cinemato-
graph, an apparatus for repeatedly pho
tographlng moving objects at very BRIEF
intervals, scientists have succeeded IN
photographing movements Of internal
organs like the heart and lungs. These
moving pictures when reproduced on
a screen are Of great assistance to
medical men.
There Il q story going the rounds to
the effect that a rock has been dIscov-
cred In the vicinity OF Monterey Mexi-
co. which by simple rubbing emits cleo
the SPARKS and produces a blue light
OF remarkable clarity. Samples OF the
stone have been sent to the geological
institute at Washington, and also 10

BY the use Of concrete a very tall
lighthouse was constructed IN a very
short period Of time at the Point De La
Coubre, at the mouth Of the Gironde
river, In France. The building is 225
feet high ana about thirty-flve feet in
diameter at the base. It was finished
In nine months after the commence
ment of the work, and cost $4,000.
The haste was owing to the fact that
the sea had threatened to wash away
the old structure, which was not so
high and somewhat nearer the water.
German army oficers have recently
experimental, with satisfactory results,

In a Screw-shaped projection, the pur-
pose OF which Is to impart a more con-
ttnuous revolution to the projectile dur
ing it's flight The effect is said to
be to give a much longer range and a

the usual form. For some reason the
Invention was not accepted In italy,
but 1t Is said that this fact is regretted
by the italian authorities since the sue

CHIMES CRUSH OUT HIS LIFE.
Bell Ringer Takes Fearful Revenge
on Pastor.


Bell Ringer Takes Fearful Revenge
on Pastor.
Rome, Sept. 24.-Bound to the clap
per and crushed to death from the big
gest bell of the famous MalaIbergo
chimes, the parson of the church from
which the notes sounded paid horribly
for wrecking the home of the bell ring
er, who compassed his punishment.
The murderer, still chuckling over his
victims fearful ending, awaits trial in
prison. His wife has gone mad with
horror.
Against the pastor there is but one
witness-the ringer of the chimes.
Going to the church loft to sound the
bells for the usual service, he sur
prised his wife and the pastor, he says,
in one another's arms. The pastor
stumbled and before he could regain
himself the bell ringer had seized and
tied him hand and foot to the clapper
of the principal bell and began, to
sound the shurch chimes furiOusly
The murdered mans blood, streaming
upon them from the bell tower, cen
veyed the first news of the tragedy to
the congregation. Hurrying up the
ladder to the loft they found the pas
tor with nearly every bone in his body
broken and the ringer still madly
crashing the bells.

DEAD GIRL IN BIG TRUNK.
Murder Mystery in CHASTITY Find Near
Seattle, Wash.


Seattle, Wash, Sept. 24.-The body
Of an unknown girl about Is years
old was found in a trunk on the
beach at South Alki, about two and a
half miles south of Elliott bay. The
girl had evidently been strangled and
had been dead from two to five days.
In the trunk were the girls clothing
and the clothing of a man and two
letters, one of which may lead to her
identity. This letter was that of sis
ter to a brother. 1t was written on a
letter head of 81. D. Covington, Fuel
Feed and Hauling, st. Paul, Mimi,
and was signed Edith" 1t bears the
date of April IL, 1905, and was en-
closed in a worn and unaddressed en-
velope. 1t was written to Frank Gov
ington. The other letter had no sig
nificance, as far as could be deciph-
cred.
When two men in a small launch
discovered it they drew it upon the
beach. In the tray were two rocks.
Lifting the tray, they saw a woman's
head They notified the police, and an
examination of the trunk revealed,
hidden under a lot of clothes, the nude
body of a girl. A chemise was tied
taut around her neck and there was a
gag in her mouth. An autopsy re-
vealed no marks of violence, except
that she had been strangled. No
motive was disclosed for the crime
and it is believed that she was either
married or had a lover.

tilted to search that city for CoVing-

IN GOOD OLD ROMAN STYLE
Tennessee Lover snatched Bride
from Her Brothers.

Tennessee Lover snatched Bride
from Her Brothers.
A good story of lover that captured
his sweetheart and carried her of and
married her in the good old Roman way
comes from Texas, says the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal. 1t appears that
Ed Grief has been much in love with
Miss Ella Francis for some time. The
courtshlp, however, was carried on
very much against the wishes of the
young lady's parents. For some six
months they had kept their eyes right
upon her at church, at school and at
home. If they were not watching
themselves they had some person al
ways near whose intention was to keep
down the match.
In that mysterious way known only
to lovers, however, they kept up a cor
respondence with each other, she as
surfing him upon every occasion posi-
bic that her heart was still true. Last
Sunday morning she conveyed the in
telligence to her lover that she was
going to visit her uncle in the Hynds-
yer community, and would likely only
be accompanied by her two brothers,
aged 10 and II years. This news was
sufficient for the young man and he
made preparations accordingly. He
came to Dresden and procured the nee
essary license. He then secured the
services Of w. w. House, Esq, a bosom
friend Of his, and posted him near the
roadside where the wagon was to pass.
At the hour of 10 the wagon came roll
ing along, and sure enough the young
lady was in it sitting on the front seat
between her two brothers.
AS 1t passed certain point he came
out OF tins bushes, halted 1t and reach
ed for his sweetheart. The brothers,
seeing what was about to happen,
whipped up the mules to make them
pull out OF the way, but the young
American had taken the precaution to
build a rail- fence just across the road
In front and swung onto the wagon
with all his strength and the team
soon came to a standstill. He seized
the girl with both arms around the
waist, while the brothers hung onto
her feet, but like all lovers In such |
cases he pulled her loose and they
struck across the open field to ind the |
Justice. He was not very far away
and the knot was tied before you could

} CHINA 70 BE DIVIDED :
WI Tung Fang May Prevent Plans Of

Powers.
Is China confronted by a gigantic
struggle to preserve its territorial in
tegrity? Do the recent treaties en-
tered into with Japan by Russia and
between Great Britain and France
have as an Interior object the parti-
ton of the empire, which the late sec
rotary of state John Hay fought to the
day OF his death to prevent?
Such is the conjecture given rise to
by the Picking announcement that
former Minister WI Tung Fang is to
return to the land where he once lived
so greatly and from which he was
withdrawn because of his too ready
acceptance of American customs. ORR
