few bites to eat, and from that time
on. try as they would. the family could
not get rid Of the canine. The small
children took great fancy to the dog
and named him BLUE. Their father
and mother grew tired of seeing BLUE
around and secretly plotted to get him
out Of the way. They feared to kidnap
him openly by day, for there would
surely follow much protest and distress
on the part of the children. According.
~ plans were made for losing BLUE
some place far from Ridley Park by
night. The evening that the plot was to
be carried out, just after supper. father.
mother and a five-year-Old boy were
In the parlor. The little fellow was
fondling the dog as If he were his hest

the dog firmly under the shoulders and,
looking straight into his eyes, lispetl

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.
a Peculiar Bird Found In the JunsIss
Of South America.


Of South America.
There is a queer bird in the jungles
of northern South America which Is
called the ''pauji'' by the natives. but
Is known to science as the galeated
curassOn. 1t Is chiefly remarkable be-
cause 1t sings its own death song.
1t does not really sing. but makes a
deep humming noise which sounds
very much like the Spanish words Ell
muerto esta aqui'' Che corpse lies here).
1T IS while utterins this lugubriOus
chant" said a South American travel
er, that the paul. usually meets its
death, for the hunter can then easily
track 1t to its retreat, and it falls a
victim, as the Indians say. to its own
death song"
II the paul. gets suspicious it i'm
mediately ceases humming, and that Is
q sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dan
ger. In such a case the only thing for
the sportsman to do Is to remain per-
fectly still. The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin to call. 1.-The corpse lies here" 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed
If 1t Is only wounded the paul. usu-
ally escapes. though 1t cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl. 1t Is very fleet Of foot and will
outrun the hunter until it Is lost in the
dense underground Of the jungle.
In the mating season the male paul.
IS the most pugnaciOus Of birds and
will fight its own kind whenever 1t
meets them. Often the fight ends In
the humiliation Of both cOmbatants.

CANCER RESEARCH SOCIETY.
There Is IN organization called the
American Cancer Research society.
DR.. l.. d. Rogers of Chicago is it,
president, and DR.. w. A. Guild of Des
Moines, its secretary. is now visiting
Lincoln in its interest.
The purpose Of the society Is in
particular to interest the physicians
and surgeons all over the land in the
study Of this disease; to get them to
keep careful notes Of such cases IS
cone under their care and report to
the central officer; and 10 stir up such
public interest in the matter a. shall
lead to such work Is is now being done
for the victims of tuberculosis.
DR.. Guild is now calling upon Lin
coin physicians and surgeons in adj
vance Of the meeting of the society,
which will be held in Chicago next
month. tuberculosis is no longer in
durable, and thousands of its victims
are nowadays saved completely. or
their lives Indefinitely prolonged, but
cancer is still considered by most ply
sicians Is perfectly hopeless. Some
day, God grant it will not be far dis
tant, the victim of cancer may also
he of good hope. Some day physi-
clan may, without being charged with
quackery, be able to proclaim his abil-
ity to save Us from this lOathsome
and direfal disease. Some day gov
eminent will lend its powerful aid and
philanthropists will build hospitals
for this class Of unfortunates, as is now
being done for consumptives. A Sc.
rum or other remedy will be found
that shall stop the ravages Of cancer.
A few consecrated physicians are
devoting their lives to the problem.
What they want is the help and CO.
operation of their fellow physicians
and of the public at large.-Liucoln

To give an idea of the smoothnees
with which the mecanism works, BY
means Of which specially constructed
cameras, boxes, bottles or other con-
trivances can be lowered to . great
depth and raised to the surface again,
it may be we'll to state that the ap.
paratus which captured the oplopho-
rus was lowered in forty.four minutes,
and raised in forty-seven minutes. y
In the attempts made SO far to a.
certain the greatest depths Of the
ocean, no depth greater than $1,000
feet has been found. Mount Everett,
the highest mountain, is some 1900
feet high. The difference, therefore.
between the highest elevation and the
greatest depression, of the earth's
crust. as known to man today, is some
81 900 feet. Ocean depths Of over
10000 feet are, however, very rare,
and few reach 10000. But oceano-
graphy is no longer restricted to the
mere registering of the various depths
the study Of sea bottom soils has begun.
There are even today q few score
brilliant inventions, which enable the
investigator to conduct the most vari.
Ell forms of oceanographic research.
The scores oftoday will be hundreds
tomorrow. Money, labor, scholarship
and talent have, from the outset, been
lavished ON this new science. Secrets
that seemed destined ever to remain be-
yond our reach have already been re-
vealed. and the light of knowledge is
penetrating the most hidden recesses
Of the mighty deep.-Boston Trans.

Porils Of the Hair Cut.

thing besides. He stuck the end of
his thumb In his mouth and began
sucking It.

uncommon thing either. In giving q

lodges under the finger nail, and II It

VERDICT IN THE BROWNE
CASE.

There appears to be . remarkable
degree of unanimity offeeling relative
to the decision in the Lee .O'Neil
Browne case in Chicago. A very
great number ofpeople clearly have
assumed that Browne was guilty Of
the crime with which he was charged,
and these are intimating that the
Chicago jury failed to perform its
duty.
There may be some slight degree Of
comfort in remembering that there are
always two sides to everything, and
that few witnesses are in a position to
see all that is on both sides. Perhaps
it is just possible that Lee O'Neill
Browne has been the victim of q
conspiracy-seeing that We all believe
or are beginning to believe in Illinois
conspiracies.
To 90 hack to the beginning in the
case: There was . general and pro-
per feeling of repugnance when the
chief witness against Browne, Charles
A. White, came forward with the
statement that he had been paid by
Browne to vote for Lorimer.
Men with q normal habit of viewing
matters having to do with public
morality could not quite understand
the action of . man who could be
persuaded to accept a bribe, and who
afterward made the matter public.
Perhaps no thoroughly honorable
man ever has been involved in such .
case, even when patriotic motives are
given as q basis for the action. There
seems something contemplate in the
practice of6ghting the devil with fire.
If it is an old method, it still is not
one.
Moreover, the reasonable mind
simply refuses to believe that the jury
in the second trial Of Browne, chosen
With lively realization Of the fact
hat the first jury had been placed
lnder suspicion. should have been
ofa majority Of unscrupul-
,us men. 1t is only fair to assume |
hat they rendered a verdict in sccor-
lance with the evidence and with
heir convictions.

manhood in any locality has sunk 50

" PicCsuuC outuioi uIc. 4uc CucuI'
cal analysis Of sea water, by the by,
has made it possible to determine
where water comes from, when taken
from points where ocean currents are
no longer otherwise discernible, al.
though the water of those currents at
the given points has not yet become
mixed with the surrounding water
sufficiently to lose its characteristics.
To return to the luminous bacteria,
it is curious fact that many varieties
lose their luminosity for a while, after
being exposed to sunlight. And not
only are there little denizens of the
deep under ordinary conditions,
are constantly and involuntarily lum-
inous, but there are some which shed
light only when they desire to do SO.
Some months back, very small op.
lophorus grimaldil was brought up
from a depth of some eighteen thou.
sand Eve hundred feet. 1t was placed
in q glass bowl in a dark cabin on
board the ship, and . few drops of
fresh water were then added to the
salt water from the depths, whereup-
on the oplophorus instantly elected .

blue, luminous fluid. The experiment
was repeated several times at short in.

PRIEST OF VAN STOPPED
CHOLERA.

A caravan had brought cholera into
the Turkish city Of Van over the route
Travelled centuries before by Zenophon
and his ten thousand. The disease
spread rapidly, for its progress was
greatly facilitated by the water supply
that came from . nearby mountain
and ran through the streets in open
ducts.
The population of the city was
equally divided between Mohamme-
dams and Armenian Christians. The
missionaries knew that cholera entered
the body only through the mouth and
that the microbes might be destroyed
by high temperature; they determined
accordingly to persuade the people to
boil their food and drink and sterilize
their cooking utensils. The Moham-
medans were impervious to advice;
they declared that inasmuch - Allah
had written upon every mans fore
head the precise moment and manner
of bis death, it was both useless and
blasphemous to try to thwart His will
by infdel precautions. The Arme-

AUTOMOBILE AND HEALTH.

What is the effect of automObiling
on health? The question is engaging
the attention of our foremost insurance
companies, which are at Work obtain.
ing statistics from which really valua-
BILE deductions may be made. But it
has already been taken up by individ.
ual doctors, and, if one may judge by
what they say, the general verdict is
likely to he much in the automobiles
favor, though in special cases-where
persons are affected with certain kinds
of complaints-its use will be con-
demned.
Recently DR.. James Tyson presented
q paper in Philadelphia on the effect
of the use of the automobile upon the
heart. His conclusions were favorable.
He expressed the belief that in many
cases of heart trouble the sufferer is
materially benefited by automobiling.
1t gently stimulates the circulation,
affords fresh air, moderate amount of
exercise and mental diversion, things
which he says haye an excellent inAu-
ence in these cases. In the Medical
Record for August 20, DR.. Bryson
Delavan of New York discusses the
matter from another standpoint, that
of the effect of automobiling upon the
upper air passages. While admitting
that the subject must be carefully in
vestigated before an authoritative
opinion may he reached, he comes to
the tentative conclusion that properly
used IN suitable cases, the automobile
may be valuable therapeutic agent"
In acute catarrhal conditions, he
says, motoring would seem to be a bad
thing. But in many subacute and
chronic catarrhal conditions it appears
to be distinctly advantageous. And
he states that in his own experience
many such cases have been benefited
and more than one patient of long
standing has been cured. If sudden
changes in temperature and exposure
to strong winds can be avoided cases
of asthma and bronchitis may be hen.
Gifted by the automobile. Several
cases, he says, have been reported to
him in which bronchial asthma, vas
omotor coryza, and hay fever have
been markedly relieved by it" His
opinion concerning the effect upon
patients suffering from throat or pull
monmry tuberculosis appears to be less
definite.
Common sense will be pleased to find |
the doctors opinion in agreement with |
itself. And who shall say that the |
indirect effects of automobiling may
not be even greater than the direct |
effects? Automobiles having at last
obtained Whit of real fresh air are
building sleeping porches, are more
and more oppressed by stale air and
an indoor life. Is it bad guess that
the only kind of insurance companies
that will be at all likely to discrimi.
nate against chaufieurs or others who
spend q large part of their time in
automobiles will be the accident com.
