Too Quick With Scorn.

That marvellous story of the British
expedition to New Guinea, with its
discovery Of new pygmy race, re-
minds writer that in the past stay-at-
home people have sometimes erred in
treating travellers tales with scorn.
There was, for instance, the descrip-
ton by james Bruce in ITO Of the
barbarous Abyssinian custom Of eat
ing raw meat cut from the living ami
NAL which was ridiculed by everybody.
Yet Bruce has even recently been
proved right. When Paul Du Chaillu
explored equatorial Africa In 1851 and
described the wonderful gorillas and
also the nation of dwarfs there he was
discredited none too politely by the
British Royal Geographical society.
Yet subsequent explorers amply vindi-
Gated his veractty..

AS TOLD IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Real Truth About Young Man With
"Exoeisior" Banner, and That
Lamb of Mary's.

Excelsior" is poem about a
young man who walked one winter
evening through village in the Alps.
The hotel keeper stood in his door
and told him the rooms were all
taken, but anyhow the young man
knew he didn't have enough money
for tips. So he went on. He carried
a banner reading Excelsior" One
theory is that he was a drummer for
an upholstery house and the other is
that he was a demented breakfast
food inventor. He was found next
morning near the top of the noun
tain and his relatives were notified.
Mary had lamb that she spoiled
by overfeeding and cuddling. She
took II to school with her one day
and the lamb bothered the spelling
class, so the teacher kicked It out OF
the front door. Not having any sense
of direction, It blatted around the
schoolyard until finally the teacher
sent Mary home with 1t and told hen
II she ever brought It again there
would be trouble. Next spring Ma
ry's father sold the lamb on the ris
ing market

Mean Trick to Play on Rival.

A characteristic anecdote is told Of
Cherubini, the most Jealous Of the ir-
rftable genus of composers. He had
been prevailed upon to be present at
the first representation of the work of
a confrere, and, during the first acts,
which were much applauded by the
public, he had kept a gloomy silence.
The third act was less favorably re-
ceived, and certain passage especial
ly seemed to cast a cold blanket over
the spectators, when the old maestro,
to the establishment of his friends, was
seen to applaud heartily, do you
really like that duo?" asked one of
them; II should have thought It was
one Of the poorest and coolest in the
whole opera" you idiot" answered
the maestro. with genuine naivete,
don't you see that II did not applaud
It he might possibly cut It out7"

THE FIRST LIGHTNING ROD
Bohemian Priest Antedsted FranI<lln
IN Experiments With Conductor
for Lightning.

Though Franklin VIII continue to
receive the honor that is his due as
the inventor OF the first practical
lightning rod, the study Of atmospher-
ic electricity goes back at least to
the time Of Tullius Hostilius, who
perfshed in an attempt to draw fire
from the sky" Cicero, in one Of his
orations against Catline, calls atten-
ton to the destruction Of the gilded
statue OF Romulus by lightning as an
evfl omen. A lightning bolt vividly
described by Virgil in the eighth
book Of the Aeneid damaged the hind
legs Of the bronze Capitoline Wolf.
and the visitor to the Capitoline Mu-
scum today can still discern the
marks upon the metal. A learned
priest BY the name of Divisch is said
to have erected the first lightning con-
ductor IN Europe. He set It up at
Prendiz, Bohemia, in 1854, and It was
100 feet high. Though the Emperor
Stephen and the Empress Maria The
rosa publicly proclaimed their conf
dence IN the inventor, most dias-
troos drought that afflicted the coun-
try a year later was ascribed by the
superstitfous populace to the new fan
gled device, and Divisch was com.
peiled to take It down. It Is not prob
able that Franklin was acquainted
with Davisch's experiment.

LIVELY POLITICS AHEAD IN IN
DIANA.
ESPECIAL TO THE MORNING TIMES,


indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Indiana
is looking forward to one of the live
lest political campaigns that the state
has seen in many years. Though the
election is still a long way off both
parties are already preparing for the
campaign. The democrats will start the
ball rolling tomorrow, when the state
committee will meet in this city for
reorganization. At the same time there
will be a conference of the party lead
ers and general discussion of the lines
on which the campaign will be made.
Encouraged by their success in the last
election. when they elected the governor
aud nearly the entire congressional del
egation, the democrats are looking for
ward to even greater victories in the
coming contest.
Present indicatio point to the re
election of L. s. Jackson as chairman
of the democratic state committee.
While Thomas Taggart, former chair
man of the democratic national com
factors in Indiana politics, is believed
30 be a none roo ardent supporter of
Jackson. it is thought he will acquiesce
in the desire of the majority of the
state chairman should be reelected az
. reward for his successful manage
luent of the last campaign.
Interest in Republican politics also
eenterS In the state Craftsmanship cleo
ton. There are Indications that there
will be contest for this place, thing
that has not occurred for several years.
Former Governor w. F. Durbin has made
a canvass of the state through his
friends for the position, but he is not
believed TO be the choice of many Of
the leaders. 1t is admitted that Harry
s. New, member of the national com
mittee, could have the place if ne would
accept it. Whoever is chosen, however,
will be a man entirely satisfactory to
Senator Beveridge, who is now in entire
control OF the Federal patronage so far
As Indiana is concerned, and who is TO
be candidate for reelection at the
hands of the next legislature.
From the way things are shaping
themselves at present it appears GER
tain that the problem OF the liquor
traffic is going to be one of the chief
issues of the coming campaign. Recent
decisions of the courts have ben UNI.
formly in support OF temperance legis-
lation and temperance sentiment has
grown rapidly in the democratic party.
Though there is a strong sentiment
in the republican party against any
further championship of local option,
there is an aggressive local option els-
] ment within the party. Those who op-
) pose making it-an issue in the coming
1 campaign and those who would be will.
