The lnauisitive Antelope.

An antelope is as curious as q woIn-
an. If the hunter will lie down in the
grass and wave a red handkerchief Il
hand of antelopes will keep circling
around until within reasonable dis.
lance for a safe shot. After completing
a circle the antelopes halt suddenly
and bring down one fore foot with a
vigorous stamp on the ground. and al
the same instant, they make a sort OF
snort that sounds like a half whistle

A Curious ROYAL Custom.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted TO the
process of fossilization. nor can it be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough. the period
required for fossiliZation varies con-
siderably. Some royal bodies have
become solidified in a very short Pc
rod, while others have taken years be
fore the fossilization took place.

SLAIN Or HIT BY
TRAIN, BODY IS
FOUND IN RIVER
Wounds May Have Been Caused
by knife, Says Harrison
Physician.

The body of man, who evidently
had been murdered and then thrown
into the water. was found floating to-
day in the Passaic river beneath the
Jackson street bridge. The Harrison
police are of the opinion that the man,
evidently a laborer and a foreigner,
was the victim of a gang attack, as
the body was terribly battered.
The skull was fractured, both legs
broken, the right arm torn from the
socket and in the left groin was a
bullet wound.
Seen by Workers ON Bridge.
William Baker. William Reilly. Frank
Baker and G. j. Rhodes saw the body
while they were at work on the bridge
They got rowboat. and placing a rope
about the body. brought it to the shore.
Later 1t was taken to p. ]. Condon's
morgue in Harrison.
The body apparently had been in the
water about a week. 1t is that of a
man about 40 years old, with a red
moustache, and about five feet four
inches high. All that was on the body
was pair of overaiIs and a part of
one shoe. The fact that the man worc
only his overalls gives the police the
idea that he was laborer, who while
at work had divested himself of all his
clothing but his shoes and overalls.
Acting Deputy County Physician
A. A. >Mulligan. of Harrison viewed
the remains at the morgue He found
several wounds. He wouldn't say that
they were stab wounds, although he
admitted that they might have been
caused by knife. He notified County
Physician Charles B. Converse. of
Hudson county, who will look at the
body late. today

gave it as his belief that the man
might have received his many Injuries
