MARVEL OF cINEMAToGRAPHY
Wonderful Apparatus Invented by Dr.. cranz of the Military Academy
 of Berlin.

A cinematograph apparatus which :akes pictures with intervals of one lve-thousandth of a second has been Invented by Dr. Cranz of the Military Academy of Berlin. A striking exam pie of the power of the apparatus Ihows a bullet fired at a bladder of water that is hung on a string.
 The eye only sees a little smoke rom the pistol and a couple of holes runs; but when this Is cinemato- raphed and the film Is shown slowly | very interesting series of operations san be watched.
 First the bullet is seen approaching. t is travelling 1000 feet a second, but It seems to move quite deliberately In front of 1t and extending a long way above and below it is a dim line, bent sharply immediately before the bullet. A bullet can no more pass through air than a vessel can through water without making a wal and his is the air wave It is madt visible on account of its different psity, lust as the waves in air arW seen Ibove a chimney or over hot ground.
 Behind the bullet come scattered yrains of the powder that have not been burned, and travelling more slow y still comes the wad. The bullet en- iers the bladder and disappears in- tide, little water squirting out of the aole 1t makes. Then 1t reaches the other side, but 1t no longer cuts through at once, as 1t did when the bladder was backed up by the water.
 Something like a finger seems to push the bladder outward into long tube, then the tube opens and lets out he bullet, which gradually travels Iway.-London correspondence New York Sun

LIFE SHORTENED BY WORRY
ooIontIfo Investigation Has Proved the Truth of the Ancient
 Adage.

Modern science has brought to light nothing more curiously interesting than that worry will kill. More re- markable still, 1t has been able to de- termine from recent discoveries just how worry does kill.
 It is believed by many scientists who have followed carefully the growth of the science of brain dis eases that scores of the deaths set down to other causes are due to worry and that alone. The theory is a sim pie. one-so simple that anyone can readily understand it.
 Briefly put, it amounts to this: Wor- ry injures beyond repair certain cells of the brain, and the brain being the nutritive center of the body, the other organs become gradually injured, and when some disease of these organs or a combination of them arises death finally ensues.
 Thus worry kills. Insidiously. like many other diseases, 1t creeps upon the brain in the form of a single, con- stant, never-lost idea, and as a drop ping of water over a period of years will wear a groove in the stone, so does worry gradually, imperceptibly and no less surely destroy the brain cells that lead all the rest, which are, 80 to speak, the commanding officers of mental power, health and motion.
 It is as if the skull were laid bare and the surface of the brain struck lightly with a hammer every few sec onds with a mechanical precision, with never a sign of stop or the fail ure of a stroke Just in this way does the annoying idea, the maddening thought that will not be done away with, strike or fall upon certain nerve cells, never ceasing. diminishing the vitality of the delicate organisms that are SO minute that they can be seen only under the microscope.

Walking Safe and Sane.

Taking it for granted that your heart is sound and normal, eight or ten miles walk day can only do a young man good; Is the safest, ssnest, best of all exercises, especially if the walker uses his powers of observation and thought on the way to cheer up and freshen brain, heart, appetite and nervous system. Forced long tramps for the mere glory of the thing are N. G.; are sometimes positively inju- rious. Walking should always take the form of a gay excursion, and not stunt-where possible. Such walks are unusual these days, but long ago were everyday affairs, like hunting and sparkling. One thing today is diff terent; the roads are much harder; you know, in the old days there were no asphalt streets, gravel roads or other nongiving foot and leg killers. Every man ought to take one or two long walks a week and he ought to have three or four pairs of good shoes just for that purpose, so that while he is breaking in and softening up new pair there are a couple of easy pairs to fall back on. Walking does not hurt the heart, and if there are no baggy veins or vein bags, walking hardly ever hurts a man.

 ~Oh, I enjoyed myself immensely, my dear. I went for a walk on the moor.

QUEEN MAY QUIT KING
VICTORIA SAID TO BE DIsoUsTED
 WITH ALFONSO.
Young Spanish Monarch Is Declared Going the Pace That May Event uaIIy Put Him In Manue's
 Plight.

Madrid, Spain.-Grown tired at last of the openness of King Alfonso's neg lect of her, Queen Victoria has, 1t Is In England for an indefinite stay From confidential court sources it is learned that the queens visit will vir- tually amount to a royal separation as she has declared that she cannot longer tolerate the insults of the king, whose treatment of her is now an open book throughout Spain.
 During his prolonged visit in Paris, Alfonso's movements were such that the Paris police were driven nearly frantic in their efforts to guard him and keep his identity unknown. AL fonso's frequent incognito trips to Paris, knowledge of which the cabinet tried hard to suppress by official an- nouncements that the king was spend Ing few days in the retirement of his home, it now transpires, have been nothing more than fragrant escapades In the gay life of the French capital On one of these trips Alfonso re- mained in Paris for nearly three A~OASAAog oAbAOu6A luo O1AC1dA I1L4O OA his stay was announced as only few days. English detectives had a similar experience on Alfonso's last visit to England.
 This Is the third time that Victoria has been on the verge of renouncing her queenship and returning to Eng land. The first was soon after their honeymoon, when there were authori- tattve stories of violent differences be- tween the royal pair. The second was during the Catalan revolt in 1909, when the British government sent spe- cial emissaries to Madrid to investi- gate. the situation and kept secret service agents in readiness to assist In the contemplated flight
 All stories that the marriage of AL tonso and Victoria, in May, 1906, was the continuation of a real love affair have long since been wholly disproved. In their place is the hard, cold fact that the marriage, like most of the other royal unions of Europe, was ar ranged purely for political purposes. Alfonso never disguised his dislike of the heavy AngIo-Saxon type of his wife and the latter was less backward in showing her displeasure with most of the qualities possessed by Alfonso

T had strange experience with an intoxicated man in a telegraph office down state the other day." says a trav- cling man. Was in a hurry to send message myself, but this fellow was leaning against the receivers window as if he was camped there for the night. He muttered lot of fool stuff to the man behind the screen, but I couldn't hear what 1t was. Finally I got impatient and showed my message over his shoulder. At the same time saw the scrawl this souse was en- deavoring to get on the wire. It was addressed to somebody in New Or leans.
 'He fumbled in his pocket, pro- duced 62 cents in small change, and started away. Hold on,' the clerk said; this isn't enough. It will cost you $1.4o to send this to New Or leans

WILDCAT NOTE HAS HISTORY
Bill Stolen by Stage Robber In WoI- VerIne State In 1886 Is Found In
 London Street.

Bay City, Mich.-From Lower Sag inaw" in 1886 to WhitechapeI road. London, in 1910. is far cry and just how an old wildcat" note, issued by the Saginaw County bank of Lower Saginaw. in that year, could be picked up nearly three-quarters of a century later on busy London thoroughfare Is a mystery which Is only partly solved by a letter received in the local postoffice a few days ago and turned over to M. M. Andrews, cashier of the Old Second National bank
 The letter came from William Roger Miller. who gives his address as Houseditch. E. C.. London, and is ad- dressed to the Managing Director. Saginaw County bank of Lower Sag inaw."
 The letter states that the writer found the note along the WhitechapeI road and being of no value without a signature he forwarded 1t for the same.
 The note, with a large amount of other notes. was en route by stage to the bank just being organized when the stage was robbed and the notes in blank were taken.
 Much of this stolen paper, even though absolutely worthless without the indorsement of the bank, was put into circulation. no doubt, and this note is probably one of them. The bank never did business, as the period of wildcat" banks was over before an- other batch of money could be secured from the printers.
 The bill received from Mir. Miller is so far as known the only one of the kind now in existence, and Cashier Andrews values 1t highly as sou venir. He will correspond with the finder, who will undoubtedly be suit ably rewarded for his trouble.

Buncoing the Public.

For one who is seriously engaged in
the work of mining nothing can be
more insulting than the department of
those who are ignorant of the fir-t
principles of the business in arrogating
to themselves the privilege of repre-
senting the mining industry before the
rest of the world. Men who have taken
up the stock brokerage business, and
thence become participants in the mar
kets that are made for mining stocks,
frequently presume to discourse learn
eddy about matters of which they know
little, as though there were no choice
save that mining should be conducted
in the street and on the Grub stone.
The unfortunate point is that large
part of the country's inhabitants Sc
cures it's impression Of mining econo-
mics from this class Of artists. Along
with this cause for righteous objection
is that common habit of magazine
editors in employing eastern newspaper
reporters and writer's Of syndicate
stories" to discuss mining questions
for the benefit of the 'lambs.' -
A quite modern instance of this kind
of presumption is that of a former
race-urack tipster who has undertaken
to supply a popular magazine with a
history of his experiences with the
public's money. His first installrnent
deals with the racetrack tipping bust
ness and the second with his whirl in
the sphere of mining stock promotion
! A very choice combination of motives
is this. If the said gambler and ex-
convict who is writing the article S
would expose the actual truth about
fraudulent stock selling, instead of
CLOSING over the incidents that must
necessarily disgust his audience, some
good might be done. But this vain
glorious authority, with record of two
terms in prison and narrow escape
from being shot down like dog during
the Galveston flood, has set out to
make himself hero.
The fellow lacks not the audacity to
assert that he was the principal cause
of the modern mine development in
Nevada. Surely there must be vast
amount of cTedulity in the world, if he
succeeds in Interesting or even enter
tanning any more audiences. Mining
