How Rats Move Eqqs.

Strange as the story may appear o1 rats removing hens eggs from the bottom to the top of house by one rat lying on his back and graspina tightly his ovoid burden with hls fore paws while his comrades drag hin away by the tail, have no reason writes naturalist, to disbelieve It. :. have seen two rats accomplish tht feat from stair to stair In farm house in Banffshire, the first anxious rodent pushing the egg up on its hind legs and the second assistant lifting 1t up with its fore legs. It was the best athletic feat I ever witnessed, but it is not out of the common. The rat will extract the contents from a flask of Florence oil, dipping in his long tail and repeating the maneuvel until he has consumed all that can be reached

Hippo's Mouth an Impressive Sight.
 The hippopotamus Is sort of float ing island which inhabits the African rivers. To see hippopotamus rise out of the water and go away is AS discon. certjpg to t.le tourist as it would be to see sand bar get out of the Missouri river and chase COW. The hippo life is too short to write his fuil name
 is big brother of the pig. He weighs five tons, and a gargoyle is cute and pretty beside him. He is fat and fiabby. covered with reddish skin adorned with bristles and has q broad, flat head as wide as dinner table. The mouth of the hippo is an other of natures African extrava. gances. He has mouth enough to dc tho eating for boys boarding school His jaws are very flexible. and those who have gazed into the inner works of hippo when he has opened his vast pink lined mouth. studded here and there with tusks that look like broken on Grecian columns. have been impressed with the sight. - Golfers Weekly.

 A great physician once remarked that, despite its complexity. there was no organ of the body readier to adapt itself to circumstances or more capa. ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This Is very true, and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow ths wise mans advice and to keep OUT heart with all diligence. When we have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishes we might well with Wesley say. strange that harp of d thousand strings should keep in tune so long Estimated in scientific fashion, mans heart In tWentY-four hours performs an amount of work which if represented by the energy d.. manded for q big lift would raise 1lf tons of weight one foot high Su h q calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force eXpeud ed in one beat or cycle of moveIncnl of the heart and multiplying the shor' work into that of the day. Thus in nt small degree does the hearts labor contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine eXpcnds each day 1t lives.-New York World

GRIFFIN SUES CITY TO
 GET TAX PAYMENT BACK
Wealthy Manufacturer Alleges That His Partially Com pleted Residence Park Avenue Was Over
 Assessed $9,5OO
The Amount of Excess Payment Was $15O1O-Papers Served on City Clerk Buckingham This Morning. Common Council Declines to Give Relief

William A. Grippin, a wealthy manu- facturer. and president of the Bridge port Malleable Iron oC.. brought suit, to-day. against the city of Bridgeport, in an action to secure the reimburse meut of s150.1O which is the amount of tax paid by him on $9,500 added by the assessors to the value of his resi- dence on Park avenue. MT. Grippin claims that this was an overvaluation of the property.
 The papers were served on City Clerk Edward T. Buckingham, this morning, by City Sheriff Thomas N. Cunning ham. They were signed by Edward K. Nicholson as a commissioner of the Superior court.
 The complaint declares that the plain tiff was, on Sept. 1. 1908. the record owner of lot of iand at Park and Lin den avenues, upon which he was caus- ing the erection of a. dwelling house the contract price of which was $50 900 and for which ground had been broken on June 10. 1908. Upon Sept. 1, 1898,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-10

the plaintiff had expended for all work done on said house s5.563.97. which had been paid. and the work was about one-sixth completed Upon the same date the plaintiff says he filed with the assessors his list giving the value of the land as $12.0o0 and the value of the partly erected house as $5 5oo."
 The complaint continues that the as- sessors afterward ''unjustly, arbitrar- fly and unlawfully'' increased the as- sessment of the plaintiffs interest in, the uncompleted dwelling so that it was $9, 800 more than the figure ;namedi in the list of the plaintiff. The amount levied upon the increase by way of tax was $150.10. May 2S, 1909, the plaintiff, in order to avoid the imposi- tion of g per cent. upon said amount paid the tax under protest and thel tax collector accepted the payznent asl under protest.
 The plaintiff claims $250
 The suit follows the presentation of MT. Grippin's claim for a retmburse-l ment of the excess tax to the cemmona council which refused to makesthe del bate.

lGAYNOR'S DECISION
 SHUTS OUT JEROME
Neither He Nor Any of His Assistants Will Take Part
 in Thaw Sanity Hearing.

New York. July 10.-In view of the ~.stinging and sarcastic decision of Jus ltice Gaynor in which he refused to Eorder the sanity hearing of Harry Thaw changed to New York County, neither District Attorney Jerome nor Ithe proceedings which will begin at tWhite Plains on Monday Jerome was ivery anxious personally to oppose JThaw's plea for release but in ordering Ithe trial to go on at White Plains in stead of in New York, Justice Gaynor tscored the methods of Jerome in form Ter trials.
 Jerome is not now fin New York but acting District Attorney Smythe de- lclared the district attorneys office would have nothing to do with the trial which will have to be conducted for the state by a deputy attorney lRenera1. Smythe declared. howeYxr, tthat all the records of the various !Thaw cases in Jerones office would be to use them.
 Superintendent Laub of the asylum .at Matteawan where Thaw has been confined to-day sent Dr. Baker, his aS- efstant superintendent to District At Etorney Jerome's office. to examine these ttention to the long hypothetical Ques- Etion which was framed by the six ex- bert alienists of the state in former Nhaw trials and which Jerome asked the various experts who were put on the stand by Thaw's lawyer. It was sfhis hypothetical question which Jus hice Gaynor so criticised in his decision of yesterday.
 Smythe to-day declared that the At
 torney Generals office had made no
 effort to examine the records in the district attorneys office.

RUSSIA PERTURBED
 OVER SCANDAL
Especial from United Press ]

St. Petersburg, July 10--A diplo- matic incident that threatens to as sume grave proportions is growing out of the announcement of Prime Minis ter Clemenceau of France that Gener- al Michael Landesen, chief of the Rus sian Foreign Secret Service with headquarters in Paris, is really Rus sian Anarchist, Hekkelmann, who was sentenced to a term of Imprisonment for complicity in the plot to kill the Car during his visit to France in 1S9O
 The French authorities have taken the matter very seriously and the French Ambassador here either already has or is able to make a for nal demand on the Russian Foreign Office for an explanation The points pressed in the demand will be that Russia persuaded France to bestow Knighthood upon Landesen, a traitor and spy, and to make him an offer of the Legion of Honor, the mark of re- spect most dear to the French nation
 The Foreign Office is much perturb- ed over the affair as it now appears very likely that the scandal will pre- vent the intended visit of the Czar to France, during his European tour The affair may, when fully developed, in volve England in the trouble as reve- lations of the police point to the Rus sian-English aspect of the trouble. Landesen is understood to be living very privately in Londor

Judge George w. Wheeler Addresses Brief Remarks to Attorneys in Clark
 Case.
Stoddard As An Example
Mrs. Clark Does Not Obtain Writ of ProhibitiOn-Her Lawyers May Appeal from Decision of Probate Court = "Lawyer Not Trade, But Profession, ; Says Judge.

Judge George w. Wheeler, sitting in !. the Superior court this morning. made brief remarks. which were at least an
 Implied rebuke to counsel in the Clark ] cas- because evidence in the case had ! been given publicity in advance of it's appearance in court. In the course of | his remarks. which were not intended for the public Judge Wheeler remark
 ed that the law is not a trade. but
 profession. and advised counsel to emulate the example of Goodwin Stod-
 dard, saying:
 .If you would look for an example
 of highest professional excellence and
 greatest eminence take your own chief, : Goodwin Stoddard. In the twenty-six years of acquaintance with his meth ods of practice I have never known a violation, of this provision of profes- sional conduct. The law isn't a trade, ldt's profession. Let us keep it so. Judge Wheeler then allowed the de-
 murrer, as presented by Attorney Ste ivensOn, counsel for Judge of Probate Peck of Stratford, to the petition for la writ of prohibition in attempt to prevent Judge Peck making an assign lment of heirs in the estate of the late tw1lliam E. Clark of this city, who died sintestate last November, leaving, as 1t was supposed, a widow and two chil- ldren. Harriet A. Cornwall of this city was appointed administratrix by Judge Peck of Stratford, and pending the set clement of the state Mrs. Clark was IEiven an allowance for herself and children. Mrs. Cornwall and her two sisters, Elizabeth B. Chatfield of New liFAven, and Anna T. Tfbbals of this jcfty, an sisters of Clark, brought fpetftion to the court of probate of lStratford asking for an assignment of heirs, claiming that Mrs. Clark was knever the wife of Clark, and hence their offspring were illegitimate. To the action for the assignment of jheire counsel for Mrs. Clark opposed Ian application for a writ of prohfbi- Etion in an attempt to restrain Judge tPeck from making the assignment. To Ithis writ, counsel for Judge Peck en- kered q demurrer. which was sustained, tthe writ of prohibition dismissed, and khe probate court permitted to render hts decision. Judge Wheeler said that 1t was within the power of the attor- tneys for Mrs. Clark to take an appeal Ito the Superior court from any decis- Hon by the Probate court, and that teven though . hardship might be inn posed on the widow and her children, It. was the only proper course accord Ing to law.
