rifice Is goat, turkey or other fowl.

while the soil and the other offerings,
consisting of dishes of food and a
gourd filed with an intoxicating drink
are sprinkled with the blood. The

The natives of the istnmus firmly

man will never hurt that particular
kind of animal. If the animal dies,
the child dies too. The question is to

Good Huntinq.

II was nt st. Andrews, in Scotland

stretch away over the moors by the
sea, and dear, quiet Aunt Mary had
gone up from London to visit a golfing
family Of nephews and nieces. AT tea
the first afternoon some one managed
to stop talking Ngolf long enough to
ask, "Well, Aunt Mary, and how did
you spend the morning?'
"Oh, enjoyed myself immensely,
my dear. ] vent for walk on the
moor.
"a good many people seemed to be
Qbout, and some OF them called out to

didn't take any notice of them. And,
oh, my dear, / found such number
of curious little round things.
brought them home to ask you what
they are"
Hereupon Aunt Mary opened her
workbag and produced twenty-four
golf balls.

Crockett,s Revenge.

There Is story Of Crockett OF
"Stickit Minister fame to the effect
that when he offered his first volume
to a Scotch firm 1t was returned with
polite note assuring him that there
was no market for that sort of thing
The letter was marked "No. 396b." In
later years when the same publishers
asked him for one of his manuscripts
he politely requested them to refer to
their previous correspondence with
him marked "306b."

T0RRICELLI'S VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Invention
of tho Barometer.

The barometer was invented by Tor
ricelll, pupil of Galilci, Va 1913. In
attempting to pump water from a very
deep well near Florence he found that
in spite Of all his efforts the liquid
would not rise higher in the pump
stock than thirty-two feet. This set
the young scientist to thinking, and as
he could not account for the phcnome-
non in any other way he was not slow
In attributlng 1t to atmospheric pres
sure. He argued that water would
rise in vacuum only to such height
as would render the downward pres
sure or weight of the column of water
just equal to the atmospheric pressure
and, further, that should heavier fluid
be used the height of the column could
be much reduced. To prove this lie
selected Il glass tube four feet long
and after sealing one end filed 1t with
mercury and then inverted it in q
basin containing quantity of the same
peculiar liquid. The column in the
tube quickly fell to a height of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury in the
basin, leaving In the top of the tube u
vacuum which is the most perfect that
has ever been obtained and which is
TO this day called the Torricelli vac
uum In honor of its discoverer. The
name of the instrument means "air
measure" and its fundamental princi'
pies cannot be better illustrated than
by the above described experiment.

DYNAMITERs IN TOLLS.
Striking Railroad Machinists Attempt
Violence, Is Belief.

Baltimore, Jan. 3.-Following an at
tempt last evening to blow up the Gay
street bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, three men were arrested on a
charge of conspiracy with intent to dy-
Mantle the bridge and also the Mount
Clair machine shops of the company.
The bridge was not seriously damaged.
William R. Shipley, Hamilton w.
Lighter and William II. Zimmerman, all
machinists, were later taken into Gus
tody. Detective Captain Humphrey
claims to have evidence directly impli-
eating the men.
Both Zimmerman and Shipley, who
went out with the striking machinists
of the Baltimore & Ohio here last May
in formal statements today confessed
they had engaged in plot to blow up
the Mount Clair shops last night.
In the shops at the time the bomb
was to be exploded were more than
1000 workmen, and the alleged plot
ters admitted that they did not know
how many persons might have been
killed by the explosion. Detectives are
looking for three other men, whom they
say they can connect with the plot.

ooLoNrsr TRAVEL HEAVY.
Year Of 1909 Was Record Breaker
Moro Expected in 1910.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The colonizing
work done by the railroads in the
west and Pacific northwest during the
spring and fall of 1909 broke all rec
ords in railway history. Figures pre-
pared by the management of the Har-
riman lines show that the number of
colonists who were taken into the Pa
cifc coast territory far exceeded the
number in any other year.
The increase over the colonist move
ment of 1908 was fully 20 per cent,
and may have been in excess of this
Figures for the movement over the
Hill lines are not available, the man
agement refusing to give any detailed
information regarding the number of
new home makers they transported
into the northwest during the last year
1t is understood, however, that the
Hill lines did not make as determined
an effort to secure eolonists as they
have made in former years This fact
is said TO be due to trouble in the
eolonist department of the Northern
Pacific which led late in the year to
the resignation of G. W. Mott, general
immigration agent. On the Great
Northern road, the illness of Max Bass,
general immigration agent. which re-
suited in his death, somewhat retarded
the work of taking homeseekers to the
northwest.
1t is understood that in 1910 the
management of both the Great North
crn and the Northern Pacific, aided by
the management of the Burlington, are
to make a special effort toward popu
lating the vacant lands along theii
lines in the fertile states of the north
west.
In each year the railroads have two
short periods which they call colonisi
periods. The spring eolonist period il
from March to April 80, while the
fall period is from September Is tC
October Is. In the fall period of 1909
| the Hartman lines sold a total of IL,
541 tickets TO California, Oregon
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada
Utah. Colorado and Wyoming points
In the corresponding period of 1908
the same lines sold total of 6,227
The increase for 1909 was 1914 tickets
This is an increase for the fall period
/ of IS per cent. In the fall of 1908 col
onist tickets were sold between Sep
tember l and October 81, during which
time the Hartman line sold a total Of
1876 tickets. Accordingly, in just
half the time in the fall of 1909 tn,
Hartman lines sold within 4,275 tick
cts of the number sold during the so
day period of 1908.

CALIFORNIA HAS NEW PEST.
Insect Like Ladybug Lays Waste Many
Grain Fields

Jackson, Cal, Jan. A bug, some
what like the common ladybug, has
made its appearance near here. In
sowing piece of land to grain, a num-
Der of sacks were left over night IN
the field. An examination the next
day led to the discovery that each sack
was swarming with small bugs with a
dark yellowish back.
Other parts of this county were af-
feeted by the same kind of insects, it
is believed, last year. The lands so
visited were denuded of all vegetation,
and the soil produced nothing for that
season. 1t was as if FIRE had swept
over the sG-face. One large ranch had
fully 100 acres so affected last year.
While there is no general appearance
of the bug in the county, it has ap-
peared in localities wide apart.
