Rises In August and Disappears Reou-
larry In February.
One Of Michigan's unsolved mystic
rles is the island that every summer
comes to the surface Of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again TO
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods Of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular II
comes to the surface about the middle
OF August and goes down again about
Feb. IL. What causes It to act thus
strangely Is conundrum that none
has been able to solve. 5ct to keep 1t
above water or compel II 10 remain in
the depths have been alike without se-
suits.
On one occasion a number OF farm
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out OF moving business. In
their efforts to do 20 they hauled many
loads Of stone and deposited them on
it during the early part Of winter, be-
lieving that when 1t went down IN
February It would 60 down for good,
weighted as II WIS with the stones.
But the following August saw Il bob
up serenely from below minus its load
Of stones
At another time an effort was made
to keep It on the surface. and 1t was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains When its
time for departure came It departed,
and the log chains departed with il.
The log chalus were never recovered.
The island Is composed Of soft mud
and rushes. and there are some skep-

a Costly Funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
Of Alexander the Great. A round mil.
lion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed In q
coffin OF gold filled with costly arc
mates, and diadem was placed or
the head. The funeral car was eInbels
lished with ornaments Of pure gold,
and Its weight was SO great that Il
took eighty-four mules more than
year to convey 1t from Bahylon to
Syria.

WHERE WORMS nxcEL MAN.

Former Can tive and Grow New
Parts When Cat TatO Pieces.
The power OF regeneration. that is.
the ability to replace mutilated parts
or organs by natural growth, is mark.
ed In some OF the lower animals. Man
has 1t to a very slight degree; he can
grow a new section Of skin, but not
new eye or a new finger. In some
species OF worms the power extends
even to the repeated ability to grow a
new head, writer in the New York
Herald says.
In some experiments on these worms
1t was found that If one or more seq
ments were cut from the forward part
OF the creature head with its neigh
boring segments grew on at once,
while II the segments were removed
from the rear new tail grew on. II
head and tail were cut OF at the same
time each grew on In Its proper place.
If the worm were divided into sew
eral pieces each shortly became a new
worm, heads and tails appearing
where they were needed. Even a sin.
gle segment is thus able to constitute
an entire creature.
No matter how many times the hea1
and tail are thus removed successive
ly, they always grow on again. In q
closely related worm on which SINH
lar experiments we're made the regen
erative power did not extend quite SC
far. When head and tail were re
moved at once the head was replaced
very imperfectly. In all cases, ever
with the first species, when regeneTa
ton was usually perfect. monstrositiei
occasionally appeared as result O
the process. Thus. forked tail some
times grew on instead Of straigh

LEGAL Information

>~~~eNNeNNN>S~-N.
In the case Of the American Ex.
press Co. vs. Mullins. 20 Supreme
Court Register, Ss1. 1t appeared that
Mullins had delivered certain liquor
to the express company in the State
Of Kentucky for transportation to and
delivery in Kansas in violation Of the
laws Of the latter State. On arrival
OF the goods at destination, they were
seized by a sheriff under a warrant
issued by a District Court in Kansas,
and notice given to show cause why
they should not be forfeited and de
stroyed, The express company notified
the shipper of the proceedings taken,
and he promised to defend. but ap-
parently did not do so, and the Kansas
authorities destroyed the liquor. The
present action was then instituted
against the express company to re-
cover for the loss OF the goods. on
the theory that 1t was its duty to
defend the search and seizure pro
ceedings. and that they were without
warrant OF law and void. The United
States Supreme Court held that the
shipper having received notice OF the
proceedings and having promised to
defend, the express company was
thereby relieved from this duty. AS
against the contention that the Kansas
judgment was wrong and In conflict
with prior decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, It was held
to be conclusive and unimpeachabls
on the theory OF being based upon q
mistake Of law.
