It Is always n pretty sight to come
upon wild animals asleep. 80 graceful
are their attitudes. The fox curls him
self up with all the charming, luxuri-
Gus air Of cat. He rests his head In
the lap Of the two front pads, then
twines his brush neatly round oEer his
long pointed nose. He Ii light sleep
err. but hares and rabbits arc still more
easily reused.
We believe they sleep with their eyes
wide open. The uncapped lenses Of the
eyes remain active through sleep. so
that any vision Of danger impressed on
the retina conveys an automatic alarm
to the slumberer's brain. People are
sometimes puzzled when in open fields
they notice a dozen or more hare forms
within a few yards Of each other.
They may conclude hares swarm In
those fields. Probably the reason for
the many forms Is that hare likes to
face the wind when sleeping and so
scratches out many forms to suit the
winds changing directions.-st. James

Nebraskan Hopes He May Never Agnin He a Candidate for Ohice, But" He Might Rum

Chicago. March 16-William ). Bry- an, in an interview here today, im- pressed his auditors with the idea that he will be a receptive, if not an active, candidate for the United States Sem ate from Nebraska in 1911, to succeed Elmer J. Burkett. Republican.
 Nebraska has adopted the Oregon plan of popular elections" said MT. Bryan. T don't know yet whether I will be a candidate. A Senatorship aspired to even when a boy. If there seems to be good chance to elect to the Senate from Nebraska some other Democrat 1t will please me better than to be a candidate myself.
 T have said repeatedly that hope may never again be a candidate for of fee. l would not say that I would never, under any circumstances accept the nomination because no one is wise enough to look into the future and de- eide on conditions in advance.
 T think the Democratic party Is in better condition than at any time since 1892, and that 1t has an excellent chance to control Congress in 1910."

 Counsel for Caleb Van Hamm. an ed- itor of The World. also entered . plea of not guilty to a similar charge in behalf of MT. Van Hamm.
 Counsel was granted one week to prepare a special pleading as to the Ju- risdiction of the court.
 MT. Van Hamm did not appear in court, but upon entering a plea of not guilty by his counsel. Samuel Inter myer, he was paroled Tn MT. Inter myers custody.
 No question of jurisdiction was ,ais- ed by counsel for the Pr,ss Puo- fishing Company. but MT. Untermy:r for Mir Van Hamm. said h. wished leave to withdraw the plea of not gull ty for his client and argue apart from the regular plea, a special plea as to Jurisdiction. The court held that the special plea must be argued
 MT. Untermyer said the question he wished to bring up in the interest of MT. Van Hamm was as 10 just where the publication of the alleged libel took place.

NORTH CAROLINA MOTION.
Files Boundary CmpIaint Against Ten-
 neSBee.

Washingtn, March 15--CounSel for the State of North Carolina today filed a motion in the Supreme Court of the United States asking leave to file a bill of complaint against the State of Tennessee for the correct delimitation of the boundary line between the two States.
 The portion of the line in controver- sy lies at the crossing of the Tennes- see River and involves considerable tract between Smoky mountain and Unaka Mountain. The court took the motion under advisement.
 The fact Is set forth in the motion that when the line was drawn. the country was heavily timbered and oc- cupied by Cherokee Indians so that 1t was not definitely located. There seems however. to have been q mutually ac- cepted line until 1902. but the com plaint declares that since that time, Tennessee has encroacheS on what had heretofore been considered North Carolina territory. and has since at temnted to exercise Jurisdiction over if making grants of land and per forming other acts of sovereignty.

UNCLE SAM SEEKS STAMP VENDER

Will the time come when Uncle Sam dispense with letter carriers? The increasing of the automobile, the pneumatic tube and me- chancal devices in the postal service would indi- cate that eventually method of delivering mail will be found which will, in large measure, do away with the present system of distribution.
 The postoffce department has annual appro- priatlon which is used to experiment with mechan- cal devices, and every year the officials called upon to investigate the practcabfllty and utility of inventions. There have been hundreds of differ ent styles of mail boxes submitted, and there is end of devices designed for picking up mail bags by fast-moving express trains. There is no doubt, experts say, that the stamp-fxing chine will into general use, and they equally certain that the government will adopt slot machines for the automatic sale of postage stamps, Germany and numerous other foreign countries have The department has made an off, cial trial of such machines
 A little than year ago the postmaster general appointed special committee of officials to make thorough investigation of the stamp vending machines. Washington is having it's extended public demonstration of these machines, and other cities also will have chance to try them for long period under the direct supervi- sion of the postofice authorities.
 When the postmaster general decided to make experiments with stamp-seling machines, he in- vied all persons with inventive tendencies to sub nit models He did not confne the invitation to America. The result that some 75 machines offered for experiment, and the postof1ce committee had long and tedious task in selecting those that appeared to be practical.
 After much Investigation the committee selected a halfdozen machines for further test To the owners inventors of these six makes was given the opportunity to make public tests of the ders under the direction of the department but at their expense. Finally three different models were picked out for an extended public test at government expense.
 Two of these machines foreign inventions German machine and the other the invention of Australian.

upon investigation find that deyil-fsh or cutie fish was trying to bite off a corner of the rudder
 Numerous cases of the fish attempting and sue ceeding in towing ten-ton sloops for miles have been recorded in the annals of the industry. The deyIEhshers always are compelled to put up hot fight against this animal of the sea. The intend ed quarry will pull them far out of their course after the first harpoon has stung his hide and it takes two and sometimes three of them be- fore the catch be brought close enough to the sloop to allow the gunner to place shot in vital spot.
 The fish must be continually worried or it will descend to the bottom to rest in which case it usually takes the boat, crew and apparatus with it.
 A story is told of a boat crew which had not had deyil-fsh strike for two days until finally the harpoon expert on the bowsprit imbedded his instrument of torture within the vitals of one of the monsters The creature, of course went through the formality of turning the water there abouts into delicate black, this being of the traits of the species when attacked. This done the devil-fsh started for home which was the bot tom of the gulf. The harpoon expert hated to let go on account of strikes being few and the boat, crew and harpoonist also began the descent in inky darkness. The craft being provided with air tanks at each end the harpooned had some job on his hands, and when down in the about 20 feet as the mariners could figure, the eight7armed namesake of the American trust gingerly climbed into the boat with the men who were seeking his life-blood. It being dark the fishermen did not perceive his presence. Once at the surface, however, and there a miniature fire panic. Reganing his pres ence of mind however the harpoonist put out drop on his second throw and put an end to the pranks of the fish. That tale has been called just fish story" but there are three deep sea fishermen to-day who youch for the truth of portion of it and they still ply that trade on the coast of the gulf. But now when the devil-hsh starts for home, they let him go.
 The manta, as the creature is called by sci ence, is to be found as far north on the Atlantic coast as the Carolinas and in those waters some of the largest of this class of creatures have been seen One caught on the Atlantic coast several years ago required three yoke of oxen to drag it from the sea and it's weight was estimated at four tons.
 Usually the devilfsh measures from 20 to 25 feet across it's back when full grown and one mariner the Pacific coast reported that he had estimated one to be 40 feet, which eye measure ment of course, is within the realm of possibility The creature has two well defined plans of de
