Irresistible Sand Hills,

On the coasts of Pomerania there
are large tracts of sand, heaped up
by the wind, hundreds of yards in
breadth and from 60 to 100 feet high,
and these hills, propelled by the wind,
move steadily in an easterly direction.
The speed at which these great hills
travel is from 80 to Sc feet year.
Pine woods, which sometimes come in
their line of march, cannot stop them
and are completely destroyed. The
branches are rotted off by the sand
and nothing is left of the trees but
the bare stems, which after a few
years wither and die.

The bluecoat and his wife did not
get along we'll. Some said it was
case of too much mother-in-law.
Whether that be true or not, Ennis
shot and killed his wife, and then shot
his mother-in-law, who recovered.
When arrested Ennis slammed sui
cidal mania. He was put on trial,
nevertheless. His defense was insan-
ity. He was convicted. Throughout
the entire trial the fellow sat beside
his counsel as though in a trance. His
lawyer pleaded and pleaded with great
earnestness. Alienists swore the po'
liceman was surely mad.
But the district attorney won his
point. The jury found the policeman
guilty of murder in the first degree
There was nothing else for the judge
to do than to sentence the man to be
electrocutcd at Sing Sing. Ennis heard
the sentence and acted as though he
did not know what was happening.
They took him to Sing Sing. He was
weak and broken in health. He was
placed in one of the steel cages in the
death house and there the man sat, in
almost utter silence, for nearly two
years, while his case was being passed
upon by the highest court in the state.
During all these days and months
while Ennis was confined in the death
house he never spoke to one OF the
other condemned men. Although they
| tried their best to entertain the con
| victed policeman he never spoke tc
them. When the warden and tie keep
ers attempted to draw him into con
versation Ennis would humble some
thing that they could not understand
He would sit all day and long into the
night, always in crouching position
When once a week they would opeT
his cell door and tell him to step out
side that he might be bathed ant
shaved, he would hobble about as i
he was a wild beast But never
word did he utter. At first he refused
to taste food. After while he ate
but sparingly only. He wasted ava,
terribly.
The ChIoroform Test.
One day there came word from A

There they placed him on an opera

undoing.

Some Animals Really Ween.

Animals are said to weep from va
rous causes. Grief at the loss of
young ones and mates makes the dog,
horse, elephant, rat, bear, deer, mon
key, donkey, mule, cattle, camel and
giraffe shed tears.
Sobbing has been proved in the par
rot, though this may be mimicry. The
stag at bay, and the Gagged rat have
been seen to weep, while monkeys
have wept when pitied or from terror.
