An inciden; which will doubtless

with reference to C. O. D. liquor sale
Ills instructions indicate that Il Is his
intention TO reverse the ruling OF
Judge nayton. Of the northern lis.

MIN. Judge Dayton instructed the
grand jury 10, pay no attention to C..
o. D. orders regularly shipped BY d
bona fidc liquor dealer In another
State, delivering a genuine c. o. D.
order in West Virginia.
Judge Keller stated that he under.
stood that during this absence an or.
der directly opposite the stand taken
had been entered. but stated that he
desired 10 put the Jury right with
reference 10 the courts position
touching this matter. Judge Keller's
statement in the light Of the prccc-

created much interest among the
local attorneys and others who have
watched the trend OF the c. o. D.

Ants to Exterminatc Rabbits.

The most curious plan yet pro-
posed for combating the rabbit pest
in Australia is the employment of
ants, which was recently advocated
by the Journal Of the Department of
Agriculture for Western Australia.
AS is known generally, the rabbit
has multiplied in parts Of Australia
almost beyond mans comprehension,
so that it is difficult to raise many
crops, and resort must be had to
rabblt-proof fencing, poison-baiting,
etc. 1t is now proposed to introduce
from South America q red ant which
is not afraid to attack living animals,
especially the very young. Just how
large number of these ants are
under observation in their native
habitat for the purpose of establish
ing their feeding habits so that no
mistake will be made in their intro
duction is not known. The ant ap-
pears to be IAN especially equipped
enemy of the rabbit, since its sub
terranean habits will make 1t easy
to enter the rabbits burrows and at
tack the young "bunnies," which, it
is asserted, 1t can kill in twenty-four
hours.

Was Mars Talking to Us7
BY CHARLES ToRQuET.

Strange things are happening.
For some time past toward midnight
the receivers OF the wireless telegraph
stations have registered, and for a
long period at time. the signal
three dots, which is persistently re-
peated. 1t has been proved, after In
vestlgation, that from no earthly
station has such message been sent
at such time. What. then, Is this
mysterious calf? These three dots
singularly recall three points of light
which were observed on the planet
Mars In 1901.
Midnight. Tap-tap-tap! Tap-tap-
tap! Tap-tap-tap! Three sharp lit
tie knocks, short and hurried, sound
insistently in the vast silence OF the
Marconi station. The sleeping en-
ployes are awakened with n start,
and, frightened and vaguely anxious,
they look at each other.
"Did you hear It? 1t is beginning
again. What is It, and who on earth
can be sending it?"
Don't you know your Morse al
| phabet? Three short dashes mean
| s. Will that receiver never stop
| sounding s s 8
| I. 8 when no one knows
why 1t is repeating 1t? 1t gets on
ones nerves-llsten!"
Tap-tap-tap! Tap-tap-tap! Eyes.
1t is true, but what can we do?
Every night this happens at midnight.
AS long as 8 is being telegraphed,
the receiver will register 1t. When
they have had enough Of 1t they Will
stop"
| But in the loneliness OF their sta
tions SO lost and solitary at the end
of the promontory, the employees at
the wireless telegraph station feel, In
the oppressive silence of the deserted
night, those painful shivers which
the black wing of mystery sends
creeping up the back as 1t files near.
For several days past these three taps
have been obstinately repeated. In
uuiries have been made at all the
stations in the world. No one has
sent forth such message. Some one
is telegraphing, but not from TINS
world. 1t must be, then, that the
message comes from somewhere be-
yond. What Is this obstinate little
voice that calls to us in the darkness
across the cold immensely of sidereal
space?
Three dots? Walt a moment-why
in 1892 and again in 1901 the OBJ
servers of the heavens were talking
about three dots. During those two
years, through the most powerful
telescopes, triangle made of three
luminous dots was distinguished on
the planet Mars, small to our sight
but in reality immense, triangle
whose sides measured several hun
dred kilometres in length. These lu,
minous spots stood out in dazzling
whiteness against the blood-red back
ground Of Mars.-Metropolitan Maya
