 Paris, July 13.-M.

 He said the chief impression produced by the American people was one of ener- BY and power
 The American nation had conquered it's territory and independence by force of arms and by the same means had main tained it's unity, development and expan- sion on the American continent and it's role in the world. It's character had been formed by it's struggle for existence. which had given it self-conhdence, faith in it's success and audacity
 Everything connected with work in America" said NJ. Doumer, was great and powerful, and one found there a virlle energy which was more developed than in Europe. The economic outfit and means of transport also were more devei- opcd than here The factories were more powerful and better organized. and the network of railways was more extensive than in the whole of Europe This con

Larry. the Insane Horse.

A strange and appealing story is told
 by Alexander Irvine in the course of his
 articles i'll Appleton's Magazine exposing
 the peonage evil He says:
 Though getting old for lumber camp.
 Larry is still d very powerful horse; but
 for some years he has been mentally un-
 balanced. Larry came from Michigan;
 came as a foal and grew up to the work
 of skidding logs. He had many drivers.
 of many nations, and they treated hiln with varying degrees of considerations One
 of his drivers made a bet with another
 teamster that Larry and his mate could
 skid more logs than any other team in
 the camp. The bet was made and q day
 appointed for the test. From the gray
 dawn until the going down of the sun,
 that day the horses were under the lash.
 and when the days work was done 1t was
 discovered that Larry and his mate had
 carried to the camp S62 logs, measuring
 nearly seventy thousand feet of yellow
 pine! That was the biggest days work
 ever done in the camp Next day when
 poor Larry was led out of the stable he was stupid. He did not understand a word that was said to him. His strength was not impaired, but his mind, so horse doctors said, was blank
 He was so stupid that they could not work him. Gallagher aSSlSldnl, SeelnB Larry in the stable and not knowing his conditon( took him out to ride him to the woods Larry stood like post. He hung his head and let the man tug at the bride. Then. infurated, the boss"

 next week and my consort has already departed for our new abode. When you are preening your wings and turning up your harp I will be removing what effects l possess, chief among which is a most powerful dynamo. Being the principal fac tor, you will no doubt take an interest in your dismissal from public life. Now over there," and he nodded to the far side of the room. we have a most in genious stepping stone to immortality"
 l looked and saw peculiar coffln-shap- ed table standing on four short steel lags, it's top was made of steel and moreover. it possessed a huge steel lid.
 "A most ingenious nstrument' added the Professor" pleasantly. You see, the top of the table, by means of the pedal underneath the instrument, can by a mere pressure of the foot be con verted into an immensely powerful cleo tro-magnet. I may observe that some what similar but much less efficacious instrument is used in modern tailoring establishments. The garment to be press ed Is laid on the table. and the goose is laid upon it, then. by means of the pedal, the operator throws into the ta- ble d high or low current, as desired. Instantly 1t becomes a powerful electro magnet, the goose is attracted, the gar ment pressed-to oblivion if necessary. AS you are stronger pnySlcdlIy than l, my modus operandi will be to cripple you with a bullet SO you will be incapable of resistance when I insert you between the leaves of my ingenious press"
 My throat quivered and grew dry with fear as the horror of my fiendish death was borne in on me. 1 was to be crushed by slow degrees to an unrecognizable pulp.
 It meant quietly waiting to be shot down like a dog, waiting for a chance to live, for at the report of the revolver I knew Jarvis would be through that window in a twinkling. And in that twinkling mine enemy would have ample time to finish me with another bullet. But better d thousand timse to die by bullet than by excruoiating inches. And then, at the Professor next words a desperate plan was born in my brain. I would not wait to be crippled and fed to that fiendish press. I would ris.. ali on a single throw.
 Captain Smith. I am aware that you have 9 revolver on your person." said the Professor sharply. ITO prevent any accident I must ask you to rid your se.l of it. Get 1t out of your pocket. keep your hand behind you and drop 1t on the floor. If you move your hand for ward so much as an inch I'll drill you

 with an mpassive face, but with every nerve tingling, each muscle coiling for lightning spring, my eyes on the revol- yer opposite, l reached slowly to my hip pocket and gripped the butt of my pistol. Slowly, slowly l withdrwe it, my hand behind my back.
 Drop 1t behind you on the floor quick ly,' commanded the Professor"
 Anr then I made my throw l dropped the gun, but in dropping 1t I pulled the trigger, then in the same movement duck cd my head, and, quick a flash, sprank straight for the Professor. The report of the two sounded almost as one, and the "Professor's' bullet plowed a deep fur row in my cheek even as l dived. There came another report, and a quick pain took me in the shoulder as I gripped the Professor flercely by the hips and threw him crashing to the floor. Over and over We writhed and twisted, the blood from my wound binding me, my shoulder fast growing numb. Vaguely I heard a smash of falling glass and the hoarse voice of Jarvis. l had the Professor by the pis- tol hand and throat. He was snarling ike q wolf. his steelly fingers riveted on my wndpipe. My eyes started and the blood pounded in my veins. With all my strength I banged the "Professor's'' head on the floor. But his inexorabie fingers would not give me breath. My strength was going fast. Then. as in dream I was dlmly conscious of Jarvis's figure over me. I saw his big boot draw back, then land with terrific impact on the point of the Professors chin. - IL was all over.
 Such was my adventure with the Bond Stealers Of the "Queen of Sheba" noth ing was ever heard but when the Pro lessor" had served one year of long term at Sing Sing he accomplished one of the most ingenious escapes in the his tory of the institution.

French manufacturers to turn to the United States for examples and useful lessons.
 The French Society of Hypnology and Psychology, under the presidency of Dr.. Jules Voison, has just held it's annual meeting, when the important question was discussed of backward children and adolescents.
 Quite a large number of distinguished physicians and scientists spoke on the subject, including NJ. Cascie and NJ. Scie-To-Fo a Chinese scientist, who spoke of the manner in which these subjects were dealt with In his country
 The most important communications however, was that of Dr. Doyen, who has studied this subject for many years. He declares that, contrary to the conclusions of some English and American physi- cians it is absolutely useless to try to perform any operations upon congenllal idiots. The only subjects on whom such operations can possibly have any effect are children and young people who are backward and lacking in intelligence, and in these cases the operations of "cran- iactomy" can be performed and has been with marked satisfactory results.
 In some cases pr. Doyen has in few weeks after this operation noticed q rapid development of the intelligence in cni- dren who before hardly knew their let ters and could not count even up to five or ten The general brightening of the whole being with regard to itself and it's environment is often manifested.
 But Dr. Doyen adds that eoncurrenty with the surgical operation a certain treatment must be undergone under the guidance of an able physician.
 After first operation of ''craniactomy'' on the left side for instance, has given a satisfactory result, it Is sometimes ad- vsable to repeat this on the right side; but very important point is to determine definitely which are the backward chill dren In whom the operation is likely to be attended with satisfactory results.
 The trials and competitions of police dogs organized by the Canine society of Normandy have just taken place at Rou- en- A large course was arranged, with three grand stands which were crowded with interested spectators, including otfi- clals, magistrates, police dignitaries and Journalists from Paris.
 The trials through which the dogs were taken were very interesting. First of all, the animals held in leash, had to cover the ground over q short circuit, return immediately to their masters at the first low call and take up their positions inn mediately behind them. Secondly. the animals had to jump over fence and hedge and get into little house through a sltylight.
 All the animals did very well in this
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-14

trial. Another trial that showed the pow CTS of the various animals, was the keep ing watch over a man on the ground. at- tacking him if he tried to rise, but leav- ing him alone if he kept quiet, so as to give the dogs master time to arrive
 Another was the watch over several men. The dog followed behind several prisoners whom his master was shidins. and attacked any one of them, without further orders, if he tried to escape. The most sensational event of the day was the way in which man armed with a stick and a revolver was attacked by a dog. So realistic was the attack of the dogs that the man was dressed in a completo suit of leather, the legs protected by huge boots and the face by metallic mask, and the hands with iron gauntlets 10 protect him from scratches and bites.
 This training of dogs, which was be- gun in Belgium, and has been taken up with enthusiasm in many French towns is having great success. and promises to be the most formidable weapon yet known against the brutal and cowardly ruffians of the streets.
 The question of how to prolong life is occupying the minds of nearly all the doe tors and scientists here at the present moment The first step toward this is to find out why life ends. and Dr. Pelle- tier thinks he has discovered the reason He has noticed that humans live for a much shorter period than do most an- imals, and he thinks that It Is because we want contrary to nature, that is. uprghc
 He maintains that, we are descended from monkeys, our most natural position would be to go on fours as they do He says that our present habit of walking upright is the cause of most Of the ills to which flesh Is heir, and the reason why so many lives end prematurely, causing as fl does nervous illnesses, interior trouble and a general feeling of lasst- tude which Is lacking in animals.

The remarkable popularity
OF Saul's Addition to the city
Of Washington is due to many
/ pOrtant considerations.
Probably the most prominent
Of these is the fact that it has
been accurately and TRUTH
FULLY described and adver-
tlsed, and that no effort has
been made to induce sales bv
false statements or misrep-
reservations OF existing facts.
The location and surroundings
are simply ideal, occupying as
it does a high and command
ing situation and overlooking
landscapes of great beauty
and variety. The streets and
avenues are Handsomely laid
out and the large number of
residences already erected
are noted for their elegance
and attractiveness. All the
streets are macadamized, &C.
ment sidewalks laid, shade
trees planted and water
mains, sewers, gas and cleo
trlclty installed. But perhaps
its highest claim to superior
lty over any other suburban
property in the District of
Columbia is its nearness and
easy access to the depart
mental and business centers
OF the city and the fact that
one Of the best electric car
lines in the world passes di-
rectly through it.
The lots are sold at very
low prices and on the most
accommodating terms.

door-handles removed and replaced by
crystal substitutes. Princess Henry has,
however, "scrapped'' the crystal handles,
and the Queen Anne monuments have
been restored to their pristine place and
favor
Princess Beatrice is the only member of
the royal house who does not stand in
awe Of the king. and is not afraid to give
him what she considers sound advice and
criticism, if necessary. His majesty does
not take it amss, and frequently con-
suits his outspoken sister on matters con-
nected with the welfare of the family On
these occasions he goes to tea at the
