Just Like Ewes Annie.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark o,
Ewes teeth Is one Of the many botan.
ical curloslties Of Ceylon. The tree on
which 1t grows Is known by the sig.
nlticant name of the forbidden fruit"
or Ewes apple free" The blossom
has Il very pleasant scent, but the real
ly remarkable feature of the tree, the
one to which 1t owes Its name, Is the
fruit. 1t Is beautiful and hangs from
the tree in peculiar manner. Orange
on the outside ana deep crimson with
in, each fruit has the appearance of
having had a piece bitten out of II.
This fact, together with its poisonous
quality, led the Mohammedans to rep.
resent It MS the forbidden fruit of the
garden of Eden and to warn men
against its noXlous properties. The
mark upon the fruit Is attributed to
Eve. Why the bite of Adam did not
also leave It's mark Is not known, but
as only one piece seems to be missing
Its loss Is ascribed TO the woman.

The finding Of flies and butterflies

that the beams were blackened. Com
mon black houseflies they were for
the most part, with. however, good
sprinkling Of large green flies. Where
they could have come from was mys-
tery, but they were a terrible nuisance,
and, although those on board swept Off
hundreds In net, their numbers were
not senslbly diminished. Another sim
gular circumstance was that. although
no land was In sight. large dragon
flies repeatedly few across the ship,

WARRINER ACCUSES

Goes Into Details Of Shortage

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 4.--The story OF
his theft of S6430O0 from the funds
of the Big Four railroad was told by
Charles l.. Warriner the convicted
treasurer of the road, who for three
days has been on the witness stand
against Jeanette Ford, the woman
on trial on the charge of blackmail.
ing him.
Warmer said In brief that he was
short; that the plain totalling and
comparison by the auditor, p. A..
Ewitt, would have shown 1t any day;
that E. S. Cooke, now of Chicago. was
$4,000 short as an attache OF the Big
Four; that his own predecessor,
Frank Comstock, was $10,500 short:
that he took over the two shortages
and formed a community OF interest
with those two; that he was he first
to discover the Comstock shortage,
but covered It up to shield his own.

ISLAND COMES AND GOES.
Rises In August and Disappears Resu.
larly In February.

One of Michigans unsolved myste-
ries Is the island that every summer
comes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again to
the depths from whence 1t arose.
Its periods of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular. 1t
comes to the surface about the middle
or August and goes down again about
Feb. 10. What causes 1t to act thus
strangely is conundrum that none
has been able to solve. but to keep 1t
above water or compel 1t to remain In
the depths have been alike without re-
suits.
On one occasion number OF farm.
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out Of moving business. In
their efforts to do so they hauled many
loads of stone and deposited them ON
1t during the early part of winter, be-
lieving that when 1t went down I'm
February it would go down for good,
weighted as 1t was with the stones.
But the following August saw II bob
up serenely from below-minus its load
of stones.
At another time an effort was made
to keep 1t on the surface, and 1t was
chained to the surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When Its
time for departure came it departed.
and the log chains departed with 1t
The log chains We're never recovered.
The island is composed of soft mud
and rushes, and there are some skep-
and appearance and disappearance to
the gathering of vegetation in one spot
by the currents OF the lake and Its sub
sequent decay.-Boston Herald.

Constable Had the Evidence.

One of philadelphia's leading corpo-

how he had been arrested there. He
had not had q vacation for some years,

ceeded to be boy again.
lie struck piece OF country road
and ran along for half mile. He
found fence and vaulted It. He saw
tree and climbed 1t. Finally he re-
turned to the village. Just as he struck
the town hand was laid on his
shoulder, and man said In a gruf
voice:
Come with me-"
"What for?" inquired the other in
amazement.

arrest, I've been following you. and

BASHFUl. STANLEY.
His Response to a Speech Of Euloay at
Banquet.


William ii. Rideing tells Ia Nc
Clures Magazine of dinner of the
Papyrus club In Boston ut which Hen
ry NJ. Stanley. the explorer, was the
guest of honor:
Whether he (Stanley) sat or stood,
ne 1dgeted and answered in moposyl-
lables-not because he was unamiabe
Dr unappreciative, but because he-this
man of iron, Gods instrument. whose
word In the field brooked no contradic-
ton or evasion, he who defied obsta-
cles and danger and pierced the heart
OF darkness-was bashful even in the
company of fellow craftsmen.
His embarrassment grew when aft
er dinner the chairman euiogized him
to the audience. He squirmed and
averted his face as cheer after cheer
confirmed the speakers rhetorical ebul-
lience of praise. Gentlemen, | intro
duce to you Mr.. Stanley, who,' etc.
The hero stood up slowly, painfully,
reluctantly, and, with gesture Of dep
recation, fumbled In first one and then
another of his pockets without finding
what he sought.
1T was supposed that he was look.
Ing for his notes, and more applause
took the edge off the delay. His mouth
twitched without speech for another
awkward minute before, with a more
erect bearing, he produced the object
OF his search and put it on his head.
1t was not paper, but rag of cap,
and with that on he faced the COM
pany as one who by the act had done
all that could be expected of him and
made further acknowledgment of the
honors he had received superfuous. 1t
was a cap that Livingstone had worn
and that Livingstone had given him"

COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
Ore Of The Ancient Seven Wonders Of
the World.


Ore Of she Ancient Seven Wonders Of
the World.
The ancients succeeded In making
that alloy of copper which Is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue,
wholly made of bronze, historically
known as the Colossus Of Rhodes. 1t
represented Phoebus, the national del
ty Of the Rhodlans. 1t was begun BY
Chares, pupil Of Lysippus. the sculp.
tor. and was completed by Laches 2SS
b. G. The popular belief is that it
stood astride the harbor of Rhodes.
that 1t was 1O5 feet high and that
ships could easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates.
afterward Joined together. and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was spiral staircase reach.
ing into its head. and In great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast OF Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After 1t had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, aud its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that Is, until
A. ID. .G72-when they were sold by the
Saracens TO dealer. The original
cost was 800 talents-about $6,000,000-
and II Is not too much to say that
similar Image might he constructed
now In one-fourth of the time and at
one-third of the original cost. Rhodes.
by the way, must have had colossus
on the brain, for Pliny relates that the
port was adorned with 1000 colossal
statues of the sun
