1t is significant that the general plan
offs called detective tales has never
once changed in any degree.
Writers of detective stories Lave one
and all labored, even with genius,to con-
st,uct problems in crime where by acute
deduction the criminal and his methods
are determined.
In some instances the regular folm
has Eeen reversed, and The crime Is plan,
cd so acutely as 10 effectualy conceal
tie criminal and his methods.

HOW THE STORM pErREI FLIES.
Demonstrated by a Naturalist After
Three Fatal Experiments.

A naturalist visiting Algeria bought
from a sailor four captive stormy pc.
trels, They weighed about l.65 pounds
apiece. their wing were five inches wide
and had a spread Of four feet. The
ability Of the petrol to breast the most
furious storms had been universally ad-
mired Its name is derived from its
power Of walking on the waves, like
the apostle Peter, and its courage and
strength in planting its footsteps on the
crests Of the most tempestuous sea have
given a text to many writers. The nat
uraist, wishing TO release his captive
petrels. threw one Of them into the air

The third bird he took TO the top of an
observatory and pushed il ont into
space. II tapped its wings desperately,
but nevertheless lunged downward and
broke its wings against q post.
The naturalist was now convinced that
the stormy petrel's feats at sea are made
possible because il first gets up momen-
tum BY running along the top of the
water. Wishing to give the remaining
bird chance 10 demonstrate his theory,
be took It out into desert like plain,

Springfield, Mass, Oct Yesterday
another party Of searchers started out
to find Moses ?. Wheeler, a wealthy re-
tired builder Of this city, who mysteri-
ously disappeared while returning from
Worcester last Tuesday with $500 in his
pockets which he secured Just before
leaving this city by cashing a check for
that amount.
In spite Of his being well provided
with funds, il has been learned that he
was turned away from one house three
times Tuesday night and refused place

discouraged and wandered into the woods
and persisted. The house he called az

wife was alone in the house. The Kane

the residents Of the plains that they
are afraid Of all strangers. The last
time he called was at l0:30 o'clock,
and he then appeared very tired and

the New England ehool ma'am racket

papers take the matter as serious, just
as though lot Of young Kansas farm

to snap up any females who happen to
arrive.
If those Eastern "blokes" who write
long winded articles on the subject were
TO see the pretty. red-cheeked girls who
meet at every picnic gathering in Kan
sas. they would sneak of with their
lean, vinegar faced New England spin
stcrs and quit uagging about what Kan
sas wants.
Kansas has plenty Of the priettiest

girls to spare, just as she raises wheat
and corn, but they come high, and most
Of them are kept right here because the
