Saturday evening between Attorney

comes threats against the life of the
plucky Attorney General. AS a result
Of these the friends of the Attorney
General are taking every precaution
today that he does not come to any
harm. Three detectives are shadow
ing General McCarn with their eyes
fairly skinned for any suspicious char
acters who may accost him. The
States Attorney General does not al
together share this agitation, taking
the position that the threats are not
sufficiently definite to warrant undue
alarm.
M. C. Whitworth, an official of the
L. & N. railroad in East Nashville,
was driving to the city this morning
when a man, unknown TO him, got In
the buggy with him The pending
Cooper trial was mentioned and there
upon this unknown man said to Whit

Saturday and they will get away with

municated to Mr.. McCarn by several
friends, and he was urged to be care
full not to expose himself to danger
today.
Sheriff Borum declines to discusss
his troubles with McCarn, but says
that he will prepare statement FOR
the press within the next day or two.

A Vicious Weapon.

Basing his statement on a series Of
experiments with the latest pattern Of
military firearm. DR.. Fessler of Ores
den says in a recent number of Der
Militaer Artzt that in the next great
war the mortality from gunshOt
wounds will be "frightfully large" He
describes one kind Of military rifle the
missile from which will mot 20
straight, but will be detected by the
slightest resistance after it strikes the
body and will continue on, making a
wound at an angle with the one
through which it entered the body.
The "wounding capacity of the new
weapon is many times greater than that
of the rifles now in use" and this, he
says. makes it tangible argument in
favor Of peace"

The First Ralloonist.

Mention of the experiment Of placing
dogs in battleships subjected to bonn
~bardment recalls the fact that animals
were used as passengers in the early
experiments in flying. In fact, the first
modern aerial travellers were a sheep.
a cock and a duck. which were suS-
pended in a cage beneath the balloon
sent up from Versailles by Joseph
Montgolfer in 1888. A voyage of two
miles left them quite uninjured. except
the sheep had kicked the cock in the
wing. In America. too, early expert
ments were made with animals which
were let up to certain height by a
rope.-London Chronicle.

How many OF those who delight in
the odor of fresh sweet lavender ever
think how the plant came by its sooth-
Ing name? Back he must go in imag-
ination to the clean old Romans and
their cult of the bath. Lavender found
high favor with them to perfume their
baths, and it was they who called it
lavandua, the root of the name being
the Latin lavare-to wash. In olden
days. too. lavender leaves were an i'm
portant ingredient in the making of
precious spikenard ointment. Although
we regard lavender as SO peculiarly
English a plant owing to its extensive
cultivation in the home counties and
its associations with our English homes
and gardens. it was not, as matter OF
fact. introduced to this country until
the sixteenth century, when 1t came
from France with the Huguenot set
tiers The Romans did not apparently
bring it to us when they gave us our
fine roads. 49, Westminster Gazette.

EARTHQUAKES.
Great Shocks Almost Always Followed
BY After Shocks.

Although seismOlOgiSts have not yet
succeeded in finding out any means Of
definitely predicting the occurrence of
an earthquake. they are very hopeful
of finally arriving mt this desired goal.
and already they can discern danger
by the pulsations which are always
gently agitating the surface of The
earth A sudden cessation of these
heart beats is danger signal, extreme
stiffness invariably preceding nm earth
quake. whereas constant tremOrs are Il
good sign.
A great earthquake is almost always
followed by weaker ones, and when 1t
is violent and destructive the number
of minor shocks following it may
amount to hundreds or even thousands
and continue for several months or
years.
The occurrence Of after shocks is
quite natural and necessary for the set
tlug down into stable equilibrium of
the disturbed tract at the origin Of dis
turbance. each of these shocks remov-
ing an unstable or weak point under
Meath
Further. It's very great shock would
remove correspondingIy great under
ground instability it is probable that
such shock would not for long
time he followed by another Of mag
nitudp comparable to its own in the
same or neighbOring district.
when however the initial shock is
moi very great it may be followed by
another like it. but even in this case
she position of the origin of the second
shock would usually be quite distinct
from that of the first Wide Worlf
| Magazine.
