ROYAL Jewels In Pawn.

The ex-Sultan Abdul Azlz pawned all
his crown jewels for million francs
at the Mont de Piete at Paris, and
they were only just redeemed by the
Moorish government in time to pre-
vent their being sold among other un-
redeemed goods.
The sword of state, which Is regard
ed in Servla as a sacred relic, was also
pawned by former king, while one

SINGING SANDS.
Peculiar Properties Of These Curious
Freaks of Nature.

Peculiar Properties of These Curious
Freaks Of Nature.
The most notable of those curious
freaks of nature, singing sands" are
those of the Hawaiian island of Kauai
When a small quantity of this sand Is
clapped between the hands it IS said to
give forth a sound so shrill as actually
to resemble a boot. Put into bag and
violently shaken, the sand emits
noise strangely like the bark of dog.
Similar sands also occur in the Colo
RADIO desert. where also are to be found
those curious nonsedentary sands that
continually travel hitler and thither
over the vast plain Of clay. Their
movements are induced by the winds,
and when a strong breeze is blowing
the particles OF which they are COM
posed give out an audible humming or
singing.
Under the microscope these sands
show an almost perfectly spherical
form, so that they roll upon each other
at the slightest impulse, a circum-
stance that also accounts for the rapid
ity with which the sands travel over
the desert One theory advanced with
respect to the singing" of these sands
is that it is due to an exceedingly thin
film of gas that covers the grains.
Gathered and removed from the desert,
the sands lose their vocal properties

VOTE BUYERS INNOCENT.

There seems to be so often dead
n.y. in good ointment. It seems
to be SO in the case OF Judge
Blair whose name has been her
aided in praise before the country
because Of his good wark in checking
political corruption in Adams county
Ohio, and the pity Of it is that he
furnishes the dead fly himself. Il
NAV be that the law in Ohio is similar
to the law in Illinois, that vote buy
ers are not amendable to its progi-
sions--a rank injustice exactly The
reverse of what it should be, in the
opinions Of many; but when Judge
Blair declares that in his opinion vote
buyers are innocent Of any wrong he
goes beyond the pole OF proper con
ception of what constitutes wrons
The Cincinnati Post, commenting up
on this declaration by Judge Blair,
says:
The reader must have read consid-
cradle about that dehauching Of voters
in Adams county. There We're near
ly 2,000 arrests of small farmers,
newly naturalized foreigners, a doctor
or two, even a minister or two, for
selling their votes d from 81 to $50.
The thing had been going on for
years and had become such a drain
on campaign funds that the opposing
Democratic and Republican commit
tees got together and resolved not
to buy, as a matter of self-protection.
Judge Blair fined the guilty by the
hundred and dlsfranchised for five
years 1900 of them.
With pleasure we saw that long
line Of political sinners filing from
the presence of Justice, denuded OF
their base gains and dishonored be
fore their countrymen, for to sell ones
vote Is one Of the blacklist Of sins
foul crime against all Of us, the
government.
Yes, we looked that procession o
ill-fed, half-clad farmers and farm
hands over and said that Justice il

her pedestal and punish this arm,

sasinate our form OF government. Bu
there seemed to be something want

tice with the bandage over her eye
had failed to see something. TIa
When there is sale there must y
buyers as well as sellers, and Their
wasn't one buyer In all that army 0
1000 sellers. Why? Listen to Judg
Blair, who at Denver recently talke
about how he represented Justice il

sales:

only In the first place, he was
easier to catch In the second
place, the buyer, ! believe, was

was working for his party. His
attempt to buy votes was sin

vote seller had no principle nor
