Where Noise Is q Crime.
Sacred Heart Review

Berlin is said to be the most quiet
city in Europe. Railway engines are
not allowed to blow their whistles
within the city limits. There is no
loud bawling bucksters, and a man
whose wagon gearing is loose and
rattling is subject to q fine. The
courts have a large discretion as to
fines for noise-making. Strangest of
all, piano playing is regulated in Ber-
lin. Before a certain hour in the day
and after certain hour in the night,
the piano must be silent in that mus
ical city. Even during the playing
hours a fine is imposed for mere
pounding on the piano.

Female Diamonds.
New York Press,

The jeweler held a magnifying glass
to superb white diamond.
do you see those little diamonds
on the farther edge?" he said.
They are invisible to the naked eye,
but the glass shows them quite plain.
ly, doesn't it? Well, they are the
proof that this diamond is q female;
hence we say that there are male and
female diamonds, the males, of course,
being those that don't produce these
growths.
Female diamonds are always the
finest. In fact, nearly all the dia-
monds of wide world fame are fe-
males"

School-Bov KnowledSe

A boy in the physiology class of
school in South Boston gave the fol-
lowing definition of the difference be-
tween the backbone of a man and the
backbone of q cat.
"A mans backbone runs up and
down while the backbone of cat
runs sideways. A cat is liable to
spit and throw up her backbone"
Another boy said of the spine:
The spine is a long bone reaching
from the skull to the heels. 1t has a
hinge in the middle so that you can
sit down or otherwise you would have
to sit standing"

Coal Combustion.

There is enough explosive energy
in q grateful of coal, if it could be lib
Grated and controlled, to hurl l, 900
pound projectile through a foot of
solid steel. But there can be no ex-
plosion without oxygen, and the coal
in the CRATE will not burn faster than
the supply of air which reaches it
will permit. If the coal could be fur
nished all at once with enough air to
effect it's complete combustion, it
would explode with as great violence
as if it were so much dynamite.

AN Italian chemist has found a
means for turning organic substances
into stone. He lately visited New
York to demonstrate his process to
the wise men of the East. The dis
covery was made by accident, as
many others. Fourteen years ago
he had occasion to send case of eggs
to Ecuador. He had no means of
refrigeration, and experimental on
injection of preservatives through
tiny holes in the shells. After try
ing one powerful drug he found a few
hours afterwards every one of them
hard rs rock. He continued this
experiment on vegetables and beef,
and found every one converted into
stone. The body of a dog was petri-
fed in standing position and the
animal made to look natural as life.
1t takes only three hours to com
pletely petrify the smaller animals,
such Us dogs, cats or chickens. The
latter appear just as they do in the
barnyard. Even the eyes have their
original luster and every detail is
perfect

Cautious.

In the village of Poitou a woman
fell into trance. After the POitevin
custom; she was wrapped in sheet
to be carried to the cemetery, but as
the procession was passing through
narrow road a thorn of the wayside
pierced the sheet, wounded her so
that the blood flowed, and she awoke.
Fourteen years later the woman really
died and again was borne toward the
grave. AS the procession passed
through the narrow road the husband
called: Not so near the hedge,
friends! Not so near the hedge!"

WAS OUT ALL NIGHT.
Steamer With Seven Hundred Excur-
 sionists on Board.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug 12.-After being out since yesterday i'll dense fog in which, with 750 excursionists on board, she was compelled to anchor after striking rock, the steamer Mar thas Vineyard, returned to this port to- day. The vessel was off Pasque island when she came in contact with the rock. It was glancing blow, but the steamer was brought to anchor for ex- animation. It was found that she had sustained no serious damage, but as an impenetrable fog prevailed, Capt John w. Merriman decided to remain at anchor until the weather cleared.
 The fog did not lift until this fore noon, and there was great anxiety among the friends of those on board the steamer before she was sighted at about o'clock coming up the harbor. All on board were safe. In the ex- citement when the steamer struck the rock two women tainted, but there was no panic. Captain Merriman and the crew gave up their staterooms to the women and children on board and many other passengers bunked on life preservers. The principal hardship suffered by the excursionists was the shortage of food, the prlvation being particularly preserve for the large number of babies and small children who were among those ou board.

THE MAN BEHIND
Kissak JeIaIian. Who Inspired Murder of HOvhaneS Tav-
 shaDjian Under Arrest.

New York, Aug 12.-Kissak Jela- Han, charged with being member of the Armenian Hunchakist, was placed under arrest late last night. The police have been looking for him for days. So important is the cap ture deemed that the statment was made at police headquarters that a solution of the Armenian conspiracy which resulted in the assassination of Hovhanes Tavshanjian, the Ar menian rug merchant, on July 22, is about to be made. Jelalian, so the Armenians opposed to the murderous society assert, and so the district at torney expects to prove, was the man with whom Bedos Khaohadorian, Tayshanjian's slayer, lodged while in this city awaiting a favorable oppor- tunity to fire the fatal shot. Jelalian is also alleged by the police to be the man who guided the assassin to Union square, rehearsed him in his act and pointed out to him the man marked for victim.
 Jelalian's arrest, 1t is expected, will be followed by several more iii this city and Boston. Detectives have the suspects under surveillance.

STAIRS OPINION
University of Chicago Professor Thinks Japan Could Whip
 This Country.

Chicago, Aug 12.-Prof Frederick Starr, anthropologist of the University of Chicago, believes Japan could whip the United States in war. He says 1t is mistake to send the great Ameri- can fleet into the Pacific, as tie ships are quite likely to show how inefti- cient the navy is.
 His views were presented in an ad- dress on Japan. yesterday in All Souls church. Among the pointed statements he made were these:
 Japan, from our standpoint has no superior as world power to-day.
 T am not afraid of a yellow peril. I think of what the white peril nas been. Where are the red men and the black men?
 "We are inclined to think Russia's army was rotten, but Russia was the only power which stood chance with Japan.
 Do you think our army of 10000 deserters year, whose men complain of codfish for breakfast, detest the marches from day to day, who clamor about the small pay they receive, could stand up against the Japaneset
 T do not know if we will have q war with Japan. I hope not. If we do 1t will be our own fault. Japan will not start it."

The girls were all dressed in white. and the solid rows of them. together with the flower decorations, made pretty spectacle for the church members and the visitors, who crowded the gallery. A dozen bird cages, each containing a canary bird. were suspended from diff ferent parts of the high ceiling, and the little featnered songsters joined in the singing with the children. The idea of having songbirds in a church service is new, and every one present agreed that the innovation was clev- CT one.

Dr Campbell claimed thatt he had just taken his car from a garage and did not know that the marker had been changed. He was found guilty and fined s2 and costs. He took an appeal to the superior court.
 Mir Chase had no excuse to offer and decision was reserved. The case against Mrs Peck was nolled. She claimed to know nothing of the mat ter The machine had belonged to her husband who has been dead six months. The auto was sold when the estate was settled. It is probable that other autoists will soon be notI- fed to appear before the court on the same charge

There were no fatalities, but oves sixty persons, about equally divided among the troops and rioters, are being treated in the hospitals for severe injuries.

Most of our song birds have three notes expressive of love. alarm and fellowship. The latter calls seems to keep them in touch with one another. I might perhaps add to this list the scream of distress which most birds utter when caught by a cat or a hawk -the voice of uncontrolled terror and pain which Is nearly the same in all species-dissonant and piercing. The other notes and calls are characteris- tic. but this last is the simple screech of common terrified nature.-Country Life.
