HAMPTON COURT.
Stories of the Haunted English Reysi
 Palace. .

Stories of the Haunted English Royal
 Palace.
 Tales of uncanny happenings cling to old Hampton court, the English royal palace on the Thames built by Cardinal Wolsey. Not long ago n policeman as- serted that he saw a ghostly funeral procession there. The London Chronicle remarks: ''The most definite of these old stories concerns Mistress Sibell Penn, who was Edward VI's nurse and died at the palace in 1562. She was buried in Hampton church, and 8 monument was erected which was fir. reyerently destroyed when the old church was pulled down in 1899. Soon after this strange noises as of a woman working spinning wheel were heard through the wall of one of the rooms in the southwest wing of the palace. When search was made by the office of works an ancient chamber was dis covered in which an antique spinning wheel was found. the old oak blanks being worn away where the treadle struck the floor. After this Mrs. Penn's ghost Is said to have appeared to many occupants of the palace; but. according to Law, the historian of Hampton court, she has not been seen since 1886, when her tall, gaunt form. dressed in long gray robe, nearly frightened 6 young soldier to death.
 Another well accredited story relates how a certain lady of title who lived on the west side of the Fountain court in 1870 was frequently conscious of the presence in her room of two invisible beings, and she was greatly disturbed by the mysterious sounds that emanat cd from various quarters of her apart ments. She addressed formal com plaint to the lord chamberlain. This gentleman referred her to the office of works. which, however, declined to in terfere on the ground that there were no funds at their disposal for any such purpose and that the jurisdiction of the first commissioner did not extend to the spirit world
 At last, however, on Nov. 2, 1871, some workmen. while excayating in the cioister of the Fountain court, came up on two perfect skeletons of full grown men opposite to Lady ---'s door. They were given Christian burial in Hamp- ton church. and the mysterious noises immediately ceased. Now the only ghost that is seen in the palace is that of Jane Seymour, queen of Henry VIII, which, some residents say, still occa- sionaily wanders, with lighted taper in her hand, in the neighborhOod of Silver Stick gallery"

them interest up to 100 per cent, and sucking them dry.


 Some interesting details about the Kaiser's huge mail from unknown cor respondents are given by palace of ficials connected with the Emperors Civil cabinet. The daily flood of let ters from all parts of the world is dealt with by a special staff of sec retaries under the direction of pr. Won Lucanus, chief of the Civil cabi- net.
 Begging letters form a large pro portion of the Kaiser's mail and these always increase after the announce ment of a bequest to the Kaiser from some dead loyalist--legacies which fall to the Emperor rather frequently.
 Crank inventors with designs for aeroplanes and other wonders write begging the Kaiser for his patronage (with a donation) so that their schemes may be carried out.
 More attention Is paid to letters from unknown people who write upon subjects interesting to his Majesty, and often send some valuable sugges- tions. A few of the letters raise questions which strike the Kaiser as important enough to warrant an in- vestigation.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A reasonable probability is the only certainty.
 Every man makes a good husband for awhile. The clothes don't make a profession al nurse by a long shot.
 Occasionally imposition travels around under the garb of friendship.
 When a man says money will do anything, that settles it; he hasn't any.
 The boy who plays truant from school never has as much fun as he anticipated.
 Every day a man submits to some injustice he vowed yesterday he would never stand.
 About the toughest thing that can happen to a man Is to go contrary to his wifes judgment and then make a failure.-Atchison Globe.

MARKABLE DISCOVERY

sen constructed revolving table
,hich may be kept in constant mo-
tion by an electric motor. on this
table he set several cameras in such
positions that one Of them would
catch any flash of lightning that
light appear on the entire circle OF
the horizon. Every flash of lightning
was imprinted on one or another OF
the plates exposed. A perpendicu-
lar fash showed a broad sheet on the
plate. The time of the flash was de
9ined from the known width of the
sheet on the plate and the known mo-
tion OF the table on which the camera
was set
Mr.. Larsen has determined by his
experiments that a flash OF lightning
is not one single vibration. but is
composed Of numerous small flashes
or "rushes." On some of the mega.
tives developed it was found that a
single flash was composed of as many
as forty "rushes" How rapidly these
rushes must have followed each 9th
er may be imagined from the fact
that the flash was of a fraction less
than half a seconds duration. Ac.
cording to calculations made by Mr.
Larsen the rushes vary in duration
from three one-hundredths of a sec,
ond to two one-thousanLsths of a
second.
In the opinion Of the Smithsonian
experts. the most remarkable result
Of larsens experiments is that he has
determined finally that there is a
"black rush I'm the lightning fla. h
that Is, a rush that is not disca-nab'a
TO the eye Larsen says such a Hasn
would appear black on a partially u
Illuminated background. or be invisible.
1t has been demonstrated. therefore.
that there is invisible lightning, par
adoNical as that may seem.

mcnts for the Smithsonian and is now
studying light waves given OF by
various substances. solid and liquid

Company..-WiII be Up in Spring
$50 Pounds of Dry Root in
County.

Mr.. T. B. Lyon, Of Cane V;leJ, who
is largely interested in the Adair Coun
ty Ginseng Company, was in our office
Monday. He informs us that his COM
pany has three acres that will be up
next Spring, and one acre of it will be
two years old. The company has made
assessments sufficient to plant two more
acres this Spring, and the planting will
proceed just as soon as the ground is
dry enough.
The slump in the price of dry roots
last Fall is not a serious matter in Mr..
Lyons judgment. He reports advance
in prices, and is confident that the
market will be sufficiently strong to
make its production highly profitable.
At present Mr.. Lyons states that
there are about $50 pounds of dry roots
in the county ready for market. 1t is
distributed as follows: T. B. Lyon, Ia
pounds, j. A. Dulworth, 14O, Sci Ben
nett, 80 pounds, H A. Judd, as, c. P.

A very sad accident occurred at Eller,
KY, Tuesday morning. Little Hobart
Brown, 3years old, son of F. M. Brown,
while left alone in the room caught on
fire and was so badly burned that he
died Thursday night about II o'clock.
His mother died in July 1905, and
his father left about three weeks ago
for Marion, Ind, leaving him with his
grandmother. The remains were laid
to rest in the family burying ground,
after religious services conductedi by
Rev. w. N. Coffey. The relatives have
the sympathy of the entire community.
