Hawks LAST CATCH.

Tor a single meal, sucking the warm
blood and eating only a small bill
of the flesh.
The fact that the weasel is sly and
cunning does not detract in the least
from his courage. He sticks not at
attacking an enemy much larger and
stronger than himself, and never loses
his wits even in moments of great
peril. The following is a case In
point:
TWO wood cutters were eating their

gradually narrowing his circles while

apparent that he would soon dr.

Just then the hawk came gliding

talons and rose again almost perpen'

Soon, however, the movements OF
the big bird became strange and I'm,

frequent recoveries, till, finally he
fell straight like a plummet to the

1t was plainly to be seen what had
happened. The weasel had quickly
stretched his long supple neck up I'M

into vital part and sucked out the
life blood.
The muscles Of the hawk relaxed
as the blood was rapidly drained
There was last desperate effort at

Power of Money in China.

The rich Chinaman, if condemned
10 death, easily procures substitute.
Some poor wretch without money to
secure his spirits from becoming wan
dering devils, with the price of his
miserable life can purchase proper
care for his spirit. Anything. in fact,
can be done If you have the money.
1t is this belief that causes the
Chinaman to commit suicide by taking
his life on the premises of his enemy
to take vengeance on him. His spirit,
he believes, will forever haunt him.
There is another reason also; he
knows that as sure as fate the officials
will under such circumstances come
down upon his enemy and strip him
of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to
sell everything they possessed, tear
down their houses to sell the timber,
sell or rent out their wives and chill
dren and even sell themselves to pro.
cute money for the proper rites for
the peace and comfort fthe ancestral
suirits. One thing alone he will not
do. namely, sacrifice his son.-Ken;

CLAIMS DISCOVERIES WILL
PREVENT MINE DISASTERS
Professor Claims Government
Has Made important Find

CHICAGO, Dec. 17-Prof. Thomas
Chamberlain of the University of
Chicago, in a magazine article issued
today, declares that government ex-
perts have made discoveries by which
the danger of such mine disasters as
those at Cherry, ILL.,. and in West Vir-
ginia can be eliminated.
He says the discoveries have not
been given publicity by the federal
bureau of mines.
Professor Chamberlain speaks of the
discoveries as follows:
Spraying the tunnels and shafts Of
mines with a douche of shale dust and
water at frequent intervals will not
only make the coal dust and walls al
most proof against fire and sudden eX-
plosion but will prevent the rise of
much of the gas that makes an explo-
sion possible.
1.-THE danger from too strong ventila-
tion, which has stirred up the free coal
dust in the passages and caused many
explosions is obvlated by this method.
The drying shale forms a coating over
this dust and air currents sufficient
to clear out any gases that may accu-
mulate may be sent through the mine
without fear.
"In this way. even If a local explo-
sion is inevitable at times from sudden
issues of gas, it's general spread
through the mine is made much less
probable If not actually impossible" "

BLACK AND WHITE GANG
ADD TWO MORE VICTIMS
FoOtpadS Return Ten Cents for
Carfare After Robbing
Hindoo Brothers

Two negroes and a white man, who
are known to the police as the "black
and white gang" added two more vic
Tins to their list by holding up Asa
Hlngh and his brother, Amar, near
the Salvation Army hotel at Third and
Hewitt streets, and robbing them of
$25 and a gold watch shortly ebfore IL
o'clock last night.
The victims of the holdup men are
Hindoos and recently came to Los An
geles. According to their story to
the police they were looking for a
rooming house when they met white
man in saloon in East First street
who directed them to the Salvation
Army lodging house in Hewitt street.
They started for the place and when
within a short distance of their des-
tination were confronted by the trio.
The white man and one of the negroes
seized the victims and gave them the
"strong arm" squeezing their necks
so tightly that they could not cry out,
while the other negro searched the
men.
The Hlndoos described the highway
men and their account of the appear
ance of the trio is the same as given
by other 5ict MS Of the trio. The
brothers told the detectives that the
robbers returned 10 cents, telling them
II was for car fare.

Chicagoan Descends from Lofty
Flight Coated with Frost

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 17.-John B
Moisant went to a height of 1854 feet
today, and within 1135 feet of the pres
ent worlds record.
Ascending at what looked from the
ground to be almost a direct angle, the
Chicagoan drove his monoplane sky
ward until 1t was only a speck. Then
he was lost to view. AS the moments
multiplied Simon was sent aloft, but
returned without tidings.
In all, there were seven unusually
long minutes of waiting until a tiny
dot appeared, gradually taking form as
the man-bird came nearer earth.
AS an attest of the frigidity of the
higher atmosphere Moisant brought
back with him a coating of Ice. The
metal parts of his car were covered
with frost and particles of ice had
formed about the motor.
