THE PORCELAIN TOWER.

NID you ever hear of tie Porcelain
Tower of China? 1t was a Won
derful structure in it's day, and
ranked among the c%uriosities of the
world. 1t was situated at Nankin, and
1t is said that it tool nineteen years to
build it. having been finished in 1880.
1t stood for 426 years, when it was de-
stroyed, in the year 1856, by the TAPPING
rebels. That was the rebellion that
Ii Hung Chang look a leading part in
quelling. The tower was o~ctaeonal in
form, and rae nine stories, each with a
cornice and a gallery outside. Its
height was 260 feet. Its outsr face was
covered with slabs of porcelain of
various colors, chiefly green, yellow,
red and white. Al each of it's nine
stories the projecting roof of the gal
lery was covered with green tiles, and
a bell was suspended from each corner.
There were 152 of these bells, which
made a sweet, musical sound when a
brisk wind was blowing. On the out
side of the tower 12S lamps we're hung,
and on top was a pinnacle in the shape
of a pineapple, surmounted by a gilded
ball. A spiral staircase led to the sum
nit. The tower was built as a gift to
the then reigning empress, and was
kept In repair by the government. 1t
was once struck by lightning, which
threw down its three upper stories, but
this damage was repaired. IT Is a great
pity that so unique and beautiful a
structure should have been destroyed
and thus lost to the world, although it
was in far-off China. The rebels tore
It down because they feared the magic
Influence of it's lamps and bells on their
cause.-Daily News.

THE MOSQUITOES HUM.

1t has always been supposed hat the
hunming sound made by the pestifer-
Gus mosquito is caused by the rapid
action of it's wings, but a Scotch scien-
list, who has been investigating the
subject, says he has discovered at the
base of the insects wings an apparatus
that probably produces the sound. 1T
consists of a movable bar provided with
tiny teeth. and as the wings are moved
up and down the teeth rasp over a
series of ridges. The d~iscoverer is not
uure that the sound is produced by this
apparatus, but he says that it might
well be, and further investigation may
show conclusively that it is.

ABOUT ANGLE WORMS.

In recent experiments the angle or
fish worm, and. a number of other
species Of a similar low order in the
biological scale, were found to have an
odd power. Cut off their heads, and
new heads grow on. Cut off their tails,
and new tails grow. Vivisect them at
both ends, and both ends are soon re-
placed. Not only that. but a new
body grows on behind the detached
head, and also in front of the detached
tail. 1t Is not true, as Is sometimes
said. that if a fish worm is cut / N
pieces, the pieces viii Join themselves
together again.
The power OF the low orders of crea-
lures to replace themselves. of which
another example might be given in
the lizards which grow new legs when
the cd ones are torn off, seems won
derful, at first glimpse. 1t is really no
more intricate or strange than that
process by which human beings can
put forth a new finger nail, or replace
burnt skin.

JUDGE PINCHED HIM.
When Eckert Offered Him Money
Jurist Used His Fist.

Williamsport, Pa, July 17.-John
S. Eckert, prospective buyer of the
McCloud house, at Heating Summit,
and retired lumberman at St. Mary's
knows what it means to be struck in
the face by a judicial fist and that it
does not pay to try to bribe the judi
ciary.
Eckert had arranged for the trans
ferring of liquor license, and Judge
John Ormerod, a prominent Potter
county jurist, who has frequently
conducted special courts in this city,
told him if he ran his place right
there would be no trouble. At this
point Eckert pulled out roll of bills
and told the judge to put it in his
pocket. Insulted, Judge Ormerod
threw the money into Eckert's face
and gave him several resounding
punches in his face.
The act took place on the street in
Coudersport, the Potter county-seat,
in the presence of witnesses. The
startling incident occasioned lively
excitement, and the friends Of the
judge, considering his deed charac-
teristic of high judicial sense of
right, heartily approved his strenu-
Gus course.

ADAMS MUST SERVE SENTENCE.
Supreme Court Finally Dismissed Va
riOuS Petitions.

The supreme court has rendered a
decision in the famous case Of the
State against R. A. Adams, Of Cole
ton. It will be recalled that a few
weeks ago an order was issued dis
missing the petition for another hear
ing and the decision rendered yester-
day simply gives the reasons Of the
court for this action.
The Adams case has been in the
courts since 1903 and three times has
he been under death sentence and in
an interval he escaped and a reward
of $1,000 was offered for his capture.
Adams was tried for the murder Of
Henry Jacques and convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. The decision
was affirmed by the supreme court
and an order issued. for his resen-
tence. When the case came back to
the circuit court Judge Townsend
granted a new trial on the ground
of after-discovered evidence. From
this the State appealed on the ground
that the circuit court had no jurisdic-
tion but must obey the mandate of
the higher court and resentence the
defendant.
This contention was upheld by the
supreme court again and another or
der issued for his resentence. In the
meantime an order was obtained
from one of the supreme court JUS
tices, staying the remittitur in order
that a motion might be made, allow
ing the supreme court to order new
trial on the ground of after-discover-
ed evidence. This hearing was en-
banc and the order reversed and his
resentence demanded again.
In the meantime Adams escaped
from jail and was in hiding for sew
eral weeks. Gov. Hayward and citi-
zens of Colleton offered rewards ag-
gregating $1,000 for his capture. An
effort was made by some to get the
governor to offer reward for his
body, dead or alive, but this he re-
fused TO do, taking the stand that
Adams was probably somewhere in
Colleton and under the circumstances
it would simply be official murder.
Finally Adams gave himself up to the
sheriff and the fight in the courts
continued.
A strong petition was presented to
Gov. Hayward and referred to the
State pardon board by him some time
ago. This petition held that his SEN
tence should be commuted to life i'm
prisonment and on the showing made
the board recommended favorable
action, which was approved by Gov.
Ansel.
The final appeal to the supreme
court to reopen the case was based
on the supposition that the court had
since it's first ruling reversed itself
in the ease of the State against Lee,
and had allowed the circuit court jur-
isdiction in granting new trial after
the court had ordered sentence to be
passed. The supreme court, however,
overruled the points raised and dis
missed the petition. Adams has been
brought to the penitentiary and un-
less there is executive clemency will
serve a life term.-Columbi State.
