at your duties kindly and they will

Younx Crow Properly Prepared Used

In Japan the lower orders of life
not only supply meat, but they evince

people were seen gazing intenuy toward

Stopping to learn the secret of this un-

scending the tree, while a crow was

The interest of astronomers In the

length, which has been visible on the
surface Of the planet Jupiter since
1878, Is intensified by the recent obser-
vations of Mr.. w. f. Denning, and
others, on q remarkable change In its
rate Of motion. In a period Of about
three months last year 1t was dis
placed some 10 degrees of longitude
from the position calculated as the ba-
sis of Its former motion. This Is the
greatest change that has ever been OBJ
served In Its rate Of motion. On Ju-
piter the visible surface of the planet
does not revolve, like the surface Of
the earth, everywhere with the same
angular velocity, but, in general, the
parts nearest the equator move with
the greatest rapidity. Thus the huge
planet resembles a rotating ball OF CON
stantly changing clouds, and In the

the guard while the crew of convicts
were eating their lunch at the capitol
where the convicts are doing some
state work.
1t appears the guard left the room
where the convicts were eating for a
moment and during that time the man
skiddooed. He passed through the
carpenters shop where he glued onto
a pair of overalls and decamped with
them. AS soon as the escape was dis
covered the building was searched
and word sent to the pen, from where
the bloodhounds were sent, burt were
unable to get the trail. -
A reward of $50 is offered for the

himself for the advancement Of art,
his keen perception of beautiful char

may be worth the enlightening 1.-THE
work is the figure of 'Nirvana' in the

st. Gaudens was in Washington in
the winter of 1902, making his beauti-
full relief Of Wayne MacVeagh and
Mrs. MacVeagh, and Hildegarde Haw-
thorne was there, too, and visited more
than once that dreaming figure in the
cemetery. At last she was moved to
write some verses, which she sent to
a magazine, but the editor thought that
he had seen verses on the sculptor s
work that better expressed its senti-
ments, and returned the verses with
the stimulating suggestion that some
| day he would show the young woman
some real poetry about the figure. ST.
Gaudens, too, had seen both poems
and when he heard of this expression
said that Hildegarde Hawthorne had
OWNED his intention as no writer had
done, and therefore the verses are III
