Chick With Big Eyes.

A uainman is telling an incident
that occurred on a Mohawk and Ma
lone train up in the woods the other
day. The train was standing on a sid.

another train when an Italin walked
through the coach, his hands crossed
on his stomach and his head vagging
from side to side in a doleful manner.
What's the matter, John?" some
one inquired.
"Oh, me sick--me sick as dew
replied the man, rolling his head still
more distressingly and continuing the
rubbing of his stomach.
Sick? Well, what you been eating?"
asked the sympathetic passenger

A new theory Of gold bearing allu-
vial deposits has been worked out by
NJ. Fieux, a French geologist. 1t has
been usually assumed that gold sui
phide and telluride in the earths CEN
trail nucleus have been dissolved in
hot springs and afterward deposited
with gelatinous silica, and that ero-
sion of auiferous quartz veins thus
formed has given the alluvial strata
containing metallic gold This proves
to be true in some cases. More often,
however, the gold in the deposits is
associated with basic rocks like dia-
base or diorite instead of with silica,
and reasons are found for concluding
that in general, heavy, eruptiye rocks
have brought up some of the metallic
gold from the earth's interior, and af-
ter oxidation and erosion the lighter
materials Of these rocks have been
washed away leaving the heavier por.
tons, including the gold.

BACK TO PRISON.
Burglar With Bad Records Returns
 After Ten Years.


 After an absence of ten years, says the Hartford Post, one of the only two prisoners who ever escaped from the state prison at Wethersheld, Ferd- inand SZantho, burglar with long record. was brought back to Wethers- field to serve out the rest of his sem tence. He was arrested on his release from Joliet penitentiary in Illinois, and was brought to Hartford from Chicago by Deputy Sheriff Stagg of Bridgeport, arriving at Hartford at noon.
 Szantho is known as a desperate burglar. and he has a record Tn three penitentiaries. He was sentenced to state prison at Wethersfield for a term of five years for burglary in Bridge port, February 12, 1897.
 After being confined for a few months, Szantho pretended insanity and succeeded in fooling the phys- cians, so that he was confined in the insane ward of the prison. Another prisoner confined in the same ward, Frank Rusukowsky. a burglar with a record, sentenced from New Haven in January. 1S97 for a term of seven years for burglary, and Szantho, plan ned a cunning escape, and on the night of June 13, 1899, the two men made their escape through the skylight of the insane ward. using ropes which they had made from blankets to lower them to the ground. They are the only prisoners who ever escaped from Wethersield.
 Rusukowsky has never been cap- tured. Szantho was arrested for bur glary in the west and was sentenced to a term in Joliet The eastern au- thorities learned of his arrest and they arrested him upon his release from Joliet this week.

acIad Raasv for the FiIipinos.

It used to be said that civilization began when the savage donned the captured plug hat. But there is a dif- ferent version of this story now, as may be seen by the following report from Washington:
 '"The Filipino is being civilized. The history of civilization, a profound Ger man student discovered. begins where the man tucks his shirt under his waistband. Behold the Filipino with his shirt on the inside. This is the encouraging news to the department of commerce and labor from one of it's agents fin Manila. Time was, he says, when the natives were content to wear their shirts outside of their trousers and went about in slipshod slippers and no socks. Today they pattern after Americans and Europeans and appear in high, stiff collars and wear lurid- -hued neckties, brilliant-colored socks and tan shoes"
 So it seems no exaggeration to say that the up-to-dat Filipino is a swell. a dude, the Beau Brummel of the Orient. Admiral Dewey, who has the reputation of being rather finical in the matter of dress himself. may re- wise his opinion of the Filipinos when he hears of his.-Washington Times.

FAIRGROUNDS.
Those in New Haven Will Need More
 Money This Year.

It was learned last week that the playgrounds committee connected with the Civic association had completed it's list of estimates for the coming year and would present it to the board of finance at their meeting this after noon. It was stated ou good authority that the committee vii lask for an ap- propriation in the peighborhood of k4,000.
 Last year the committee asked for S2.500 and got that amount from the board of finance. That was an increase pf $500 over the appropriation given in o9G7, at which time they took on the work of conducting the vacation schools and playgrounds.
 This year. however, the committee feels that it will have to ask for a larger appropriation owing to the fn- creased demand for playgrounds and playground apparatus. There are three sections of the city that are already clamoring loudly for playgrounds. They are Fair Haven. the Beaver pond park district, and the Third ward.
 All estimates for the coming year will have to be presented before Au- gust TO- The matter win probably be tabled byt board of finance this aft ernoon. The exact amount the play grounds committee intend to ask could not be learned, but it was stated that jt was about $4.000.-New Haven Pal 1adium.

Boston has an Animal Rescue league with membership of 9,952, employs 20 men and women picking up homeless dogs and cats and giving them homes. Its record for June and July was 4.S30 cats and 957 dogs. The annual cost Of maintaining the organization is sev- eral thousands of dollars. The league also maintains a boarding stable and a country place of rest for old broken down horses. It seems as if some of the dogs must have been overlooked. but there is no indication that the cats are not being carefully looked after. It may be interesting to know that the league was founded by women and that woman is still it's president. New Britain Herald
