THE MISSISSIPPI REVOLT.

If the dispatches from the south
are to be relied upon, the Negroes of
Mississippi are in open rebellion
against the administration at Wash
ington and are one and all-always

Foraker In spite Of, or. because OF
Presidents hostility toward him,
and the hanging Of his picture above
the stage in the convention hall at
Greenyille, it is reported, created the
widest enthusiasm.
These black republicans, who
make up the rank and file Of the par
ty in the state. have grown tired of
the system of muzzling the OK which
grinds the corn; the referee method
of distributing the plums to demo-
Gratis when republican candidates
equal the number that John saw,
seems to them altogether unneces-
sary, and the recognition accorded
the lily-white faction has lifted the
lid. The discharge Of the black ba-
tallions was simply pretext for
throwing off the bonds which had

New Fire Escape.

A Swiss engineer announces a new
fire escape. 1t consists of a series
of folding iron ladders, contained in
frames, attached to the window cases,
each reaching to the window below
By merely turning a small winch on
any floor all these frames are pushed
outward from the building, the lad
ders extended and securely connect
ed with each other, thus forming a
continuous communication from the
top floor to the ground The manipu-
lation is simple and takes less than a
minute. When not in use the escape
is barely visible, and does not dis
figure the facade of the building in
the manner that the ordinary outside
iron staircase does. A public test OF
the new escape has proved successful,
and the Vienna fire brigade represent
atiVes have expressed their approval
of 1t.

Women played an important part in
the early history of Japan. To a
woman, the Empress Jingu, belongs
the glory of the first conquest made
by Japan, that of Korea, A. d. 201.
Dressed as a man, she led her fleet
over the unknown waters, across
which she alone believed a country
lay to the westward "If we succeed, .
she said to her chiefs, "the glory will
all be yours. l will be responsible for
the infamy Of a possible defeat" The
Koreans laid their wealth at the feet
Of the conQuerors and the king swore
that so long as the stars shone and
water ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan. This achievement
of the empress gave rise to the boast
of the Japanese, 1.-THE arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas" But the
most important fruit of her victory
was the introduction Of Buddhism
from Korea, as well as Asiatic art
science, medicine, and literature.
Jingu, however. was never actually
proclaimed head of the empire. The
first female ruler was Suiko, and since
her time eight expresses have gov.
erned Japan. some of them with great

London,s Awful Smoke.

Sir William Richmond, well
known member of the Royal Acad
envy, finds instances in unexpected
directions to drive home his argu-
ments in his laudable but hitherto un-
successful campaign against the Lon
don smoke nuisance. Lecturing the
other day, he told his hearers that the
late springs and early falls in Lon
don were caused entirely by smoke.
The pallor of Londoners was also due
to the same cause, for the smoke ex-
cluded the sunlight and where there
was no sunlight there was no color.
He went so far as to ascribe certain
physical deficiencies of the poor to his
pet aversion. Promising that nothing
could grow without light, he declared
that poor girls were often toothless,
while the snub noses and retreating
chins so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light caused by
smoke

A COLLEGE PRODIGY.
Freshman at Tufts Who is Only
Eleven Years Old.


There entered Tufts college recently
as freshman a lad who holds the
record as the youngest collegian In the
country. He is Norbert Wiener, IL
years old, of No. IL Bellevue street,
Medford Hillside, and the son of Prof.
Leo Wiener, of Harvard, and he will
be graduated, If al goes well, three
years before the average youngster
begins to think of entering college, or,
in fact, is through high school He
knew his alphabet when he was Is
months old, and began to read when
three years old. When he was eight
he was reading Darwin, Huxley, Ribot
and Haeckel, along with the works of
other scientists and philosophers. His
father is assistant professor of Slavon-
ic languages at Harvard, and young
Norbert is himself well versed in the
languages taught by his sire at that
institution.
Although far advanced In his mental
development, says the New York Tri-
bune, young Wiener is in every other
way normal, healthy boy fond Of
outdoor sports, especially swimming
and baseball
The lad was born on November rs,
1894, at Columbia, Mo-. where his fa-
ther was then connected with the Mis-
souri, State university, but most Of his
life has been spent in Cambridge. He
had only three years and half of
schooling-half year in the kinder
garten, one year in the elementary
grades and two years in the high
school. He passed all his entrance ex-
aminations at Tufts last June, includ-
ing those in trigonometry, botany and
physiology. In college he win make
philosophy his major study, and dur
ing his freshman year he will also
take up history and differential and
integral calculus.
The father says he would rather
have boy who is not so brilliant, as
it would be easier to plan for him, but
he adds: What can do? He knows
enough to enter college He is we'll
and strong. He doesn't study too
much; he is even lazy at times. What
can l do but just let him go?" His
father has been at Harvard for II
years, and is a native of Russia, edu-
Gated at Warsaw, Minsk and Berlin.
He has lived in this country for 25
years. His mother is an American from
the west.

and you are ready to begin the

The stitch consists OF two move

WHENCE CAME THE sIRDsY
An Indian Legend That Is still Be-
Ieved by Many Tribes.

An Indian story that has been hand
ed down, and is still believed by many
Indian tribes, Is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds Long
years ago, when the world was young,
the Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful. Wherever his
feet touched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy,
and they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze as it passed them One day the
wind told them the time would soon
come when they would have to fall
from the trees aad die. This made the
leaves feel very sad, but they tried to
be bright and do the best they could
so as not to make the mother trees
unhappy. But at last the time came,
and they let 60 Of the twigs and
branches and futtered to the ground.
They lay prefectly quiet, not able to
move except as the wind would lift
them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that he
did not want to see them die, but live
and be beautiful forever, SO he gave
to each bright leaf a pair Of wings
and power to fly. Then he called them
his birds" From the red and brown
leaves OF the oak came the robins. and
yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves. and from bright maple leaves
he made the red birds This is why
the birds love the trees and always
90 to them to build their nests, and
look for food and shade.

A new Daniel has come to judgment
on the shakespeare-Bacon controversy
and afrily declares that neither one
nor the other wrote the Shakespeare
plays. Dr. Karl Bleibtreau. noted
German authority on literature and
history, is the one who puts forward
this view, coupling It with the claim
that the man who did write the plays
was Roger earl Of Rutland. who was
born October 6, 1876. and who was a
son-in-law Of Sir Philip Sydney. Or.
Bleibtreau has devoted much research
TO English history, but he hardly lives
