GHOSTLY NIGHTLANP
IT MOVES MYsTERIoUsLY IN A
LADYs CHAMBER.
Explanation Found for the Phenome.
non at Last In Presence Of Little
Mouse Which Nearly Causes
a Conflagrstion.

A short while ago an Austrian lady
and her family staying in CONSTANT
nople were almost burned alive
through the meddlesomeness of a
mouse.
1t was the lady's custom to sleep
with a night-light burning in her room,
and all went well for several nights.
The light, as might be expected,
burned for the number of hours it was
intended to burn, and then died nat
ural death.
One morning, however, the night
light had evidently been tempered
with. 1t was only half consumed, and
there weer little scratches on it, as If
some small animal had been gnawing
at the wax.
On the following night the lady
awoke at about two o'clock. What
was her horror when she saw the
night-light, burning brightly, moving
about the room!
The phenomenon was not due to any
supernatural agency but merely to
the fact that a small mouse with a
taste for candlegrease was endeavor-
ing to carry off the night-light and sup
on it,
This it was forcibly prevented from
doing.
The next night, in order to circum-
vent the mouse, the night-light was
placed in basin full of water.
The lady and her husband went to
bed feeling like generals who had won
great victory.
During the night the lady's husband
was aroused by strong smell of burn
ing. What could it be?
Happening to glance at the window.
he saw to his horror that the curtains
were in flames. There was not a mo-
ment to lose.
Springing out of bed, he dragged the
curtains to the floor and dashed water
over them. AS he did so a mouse left
half-eaten night-light which lay on
the window sill and dashed down a
hole in a corner of the room.
Undaunted by the basin of water,
the mouse had evidently removed the

Railroad "RaIloons. .

1t is proposed by German engineer
to use balloons for railway purposes.
A stationary balloon is fixed to a
slide running along a single steel rail.
This rail is carried up the side of "a
steep mountain. The balloon is
moored by a steel cable to the rail,
at a height OF about S5 feet above the
ground. The conductor can cause the
balloon TO ascend or descend at will.
The lifting power is furnished by hy-
drogen gas, and the descent is caused
by water pressure poured into large
tank at the upper end Of the road.

arabic LAND Limit
HOW LONG CAN THE DESERT
HOLD BACK THE FARMER?
Science Increasing the TiIlable Area
Of the semi-Arid Region-Ex-
perts Do Not Agree on What
Is the Arid Land.

One of the most interesting contro-
versies of a scientific nature is that
which relates to the limit of the
arabic land in the arid and semi-arid
portions of the western continent. 1t
is evident that the limits OF the desert
are movable and that science is help
Ing to move the limit back at a rapid
rate. But the scientists and the prac-
teal farmers do not agree on how to
define the limits.
Under the rulings of the general
land office at Washington it has been
held that where the precipitation, or
fall of rain and snow, is less than 20
inches annually the provisions of the
desert land act apply. In other words
any country or section where nature
has not provided at least 20 inches

through a heavy bar of spring
steel and had sawed off q number
of rivets and thus made his escape
from his cell. 1t is supposed the
saw or file was taken in the Jail by
the two prisoners who were arrest
ed at Durbin last.
The prisoners in the county Jail
who were sentenced to hard labor
are now at work on the rock pile.
When first taken out they all buck.

refused to work. When the rain
came up Tuesday evening Lincoln

told them to 60 back to Jail. Fur

the only two who went. "Smithv",

O'Brine refuse to 20 back unless a
conveyance was furnished them.
These four were then handcuffed
and chained 10 a tree in such q pc.
sition that they could neither sit
down nor stand erect. At seven
o'clock O'Brine and Craver were
glad to knock under and go in but
the other two stuck it out till nine
o'clock when they returned to jail.
This morning they were again tax.
