THE TORN TROUSERS GRAFT.
An Easy Plan to Collect Old Clothes
Tried in an Uptown Street.

From the New York Sun.
Here is the story Of graft so simple
and effective that some enterprising
stranger to work should patent 1t. 1t
was practiced by New York genius and
had its tryout on the respectable upper
West Side of this city.
The originator set out dressed as work
man, his clothes rusty but neatly patched.
Arriving in the neighborhood he had de-
cided to work. he stepped into an area
way and, hauling out a knife, SILT the right
leg of his trousers from hip to knee.
Next he produced newspaper. spread
if out and held 1t over the slit in his
trousers. Leaving the areaway, he hur-
ried along the sidewalk, making appar-

ment At the steps of big house IN
72d street he stopped and pretended to
tie the paper about his leg. BY a per-
haps not very strange chance, SINCE the
hour was 5:15 pm, the owner of the house
appeared. ,,.
lifted the newspaper and remarked:

the man carried away not only readily
salable pair of trousers, but a hat and
coat as well. A quick trip to corner
saloon to deposit his bundle and the tale
of the torn trouser leg was carried TO
another house in the block.
An observer with more sheer curiosity
than police instinct watched the collec-
ton of six bundles from six houses IN ga

TYBURN TREE.
The Tale CT Lord Ferrer's Last
Tragic Journey.

From the London Sketch.
Park Lane was Tyburn Lane, and It
seems as II the gallows-describe ed in an
old document as ''movable"-at one time
stood at its east corner. In that case
the stealthy burglar OF Mr. wertheimer's
snuffboxes must have trodden very near
the ignominious dust OF many a pioneer
In his own profession.
But whether It be Mr.. Wertheimer's or
Lord Battersea's house that stands on
the site of Tyburn Tree. or that carefully
groomed house at the beginning OF the
Bayswater road. upon whose walls hangs
the narrow cage from which a lark's song
ascends over the din Of the motor bus.
the Marble Arch. Itself a movable"
harks the region of many martyrdom
and many an execution. 1t was there the
ferocious Lord Ferrers was hung in 17GO
for numbering his servant. Horace Wal
poles words paint the picture we'll. He
shamed heroes. He bore the solemnity Of
a pompous and tedious procession Of
above two hours. from the Tower to Ty-
burn. with as much tranquility as II he
were only going to his own burial. not to
his own execution" And when one of the
dragons Of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said. Il hope there
will be no death today but mine"
On went the procession with a mob
about it sufficient to make Its progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that

help. set up It's scaffolds within four high
walls Asking for drink, Lord Ferrers
was refused, for. said the sheriff. late

by the drunkenness of criminals In the

weigh with you: your lordship IS sensible
of the greatness of the crowd; We must

The report of the English inquiry for
the purpose of establishing the connec-
ton between alcoholism and insanity has
just been published The committee ex-
amined the cases of 1850 people main
tanned by the state asy!ums.
OF those who had become insane or in
any way feeble-minded through overall
sorption of alcohol they found 1882, who
represented 4 little more than 1874 per
cent of the cases examined. Almost ex-
actly 1900 men and women became in
sane wholly because of alcoholism, with
8,2S5 alcoholism developed with degener-
alton and debility, and in 1853 cases al
cohol was only one CT the causes.
The report shows that while with wom-
en- the most dangerous age Is between
fifty and sixty. with men it Is ten years
earlier, more than fifth of the male vic
tins of 1s15holism becoming insane be-
tween the ages of forty and fifty. The

THE ART OF FALLING.
AS Practiced by Cats and Used Also
by Actors.

From the Boston Transcript.
Mr. Ralph Bargengren-author artist.
humorist and th!nker-has seen a cat.
The cat, so he tells me, was pe-ched upon
the topmost branch of tree. AS their
eyes met the cat fell headlong, landing
unhurt at Mr.. Bergengrens feet. This
caused the many-sided one to th!nk-with
unusual vigor even for him-and he i'm
med.ately planned an institution in which
the art OF falling, as practiced by cats,
might be taught to his countrymen, who
are at present being killed wholesale by
being projected from automobiles and
landing enormously upon their heads.
Thus Bergeng- en- would make common
longation of human life.
The more l think of 1t the more I am
convinced that the art of falling. at pres

should also be taught to human beings:

be caught off their guard.
Accordingly the proposed Bergengren
institute will fill an important lacuna in
our scheme Of practical education. 1t
will not only teach relaxation, so that
one will come down limp. like a cat but
will also teach the art of turning over In

FOSSILS IN EGYPT.
A Natural Wonder Unusual for That
Country

From the Scientific American.
Some rare fossils have been discovered
in northern Egypt by an exploring party
under the direction Of Prof H. F. Os-
borne, vice president of the American
Museum of Natural History, and Walter
Granger and George Olsen, members of
the museum staff.
The fossils were discovered in the
Fayun desert. situated a few miles from
the Nile valley. The collection made was
put into twenty-seven large packing cases
and shipped on a freight steamer which
has already arrived in New York
The main object Of the expedition was
to seek the ancestor of the elephant. A
very important find was that of the an
cestral elephant known as the palace
mastodon. The skeleton is not complete,
but the skull, the lower Jaw leg and foot
bones and several vertebrae were found
A thorough search made for the
missing bones. but with no success. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Granger this animal dates
back more than a million years.
Another important fossil found was that
OF a skull of an arstnnitherum. which
reigned 316 B. c. The skull which is
very rare. is the only one in this country,
and there are only two in the world. The
bones of the body and legs of this animal
have never been found.
Among other fossils in the collection are
the bones of ungulates and rodents. II
is the first time that the fossil rodent
was ever found in Egypt. but many have
been found in othe- parts of Africa Sew
eral skulls OF the ancient crocodile were
found, their heads being from three to
four feet long. Judging from the size Of
the skulls. the bodies must have been
from twenty to twenty-five feet long
In some of the excavations skeletons of
the ancient and aberant whales were
found, which existed generations ago
They have become entirely extinct Ivory
teeth that belonged to animals that ex-
lsted so far back that the time cannot
possibly be established were also I'M
earthed
