DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Prescrir,ti,
STONE MOVED BY TIE SUN
immense Mass of Granite in Ohio
Cemetery Undcrgoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object is to be seen
In cemetery of Ohio-a large gran
ite stone weighing two tons, in the
shape OF ball, which is gradually
turning on it's axis During the last
five years. so 1t is said, this ball has
turned u fraction over 13 inches.
When the ball was placed in position
an unpublished spot six inches in diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
OF the pedestal whereon it rested A
little later it was noted with astonish-
nlent that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side of the monu-
ment. This curious revolution Of the
polished ball, to lift which would re-
quire large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the suns action, in the fol-
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the shade,
does not expand to the same extent,
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift it's position by turning.

1.-THE Straight Death"
Hands were fumbling with the chain
| at the dungeon door.
1t opened and Jeekum's ashen face
shone In the candle-light For moment
his frightened eyes rested on the two
men still standing in their last en-
brace Of friendship. A word of be-
trayal from them and he knew that
his own doom was sealed
He came in, followed by four men.
One of them was MacDougall, the
kings whipper. In the corridor were
other faces, like ghostly shadows in
the darkness. Only MacDougall's face
was uncovered. The others were hid
den behind white masks. The men
uttered no sound, but ranged them
selves like specters in front of the
door, their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms There was
q triumphant leer on MacDougall's
lips as he and the jailer approached
AS the whipper bound Neil's hands
behind his back he Kissed in his ear:
This will be better job than the
whipping, damn you!"
Neil laughed.
Hear that. Nat?" he asked, loud
enough for all in the cell to hear
"MacDougall says this will be better
Job than the whipping. He remem-
bers how 1 thrashed him once when
he said something to Marion one day"
Neil was as cool as though acting
his part in play. His face was
flushed. his eyes cleaned fearlessly
defiant. And Nathaniel, looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope Of
life, felt twinge of shame at his
own nervousness. MacDougall grew
black with passion at the taunting re-
minder of his humiliation and tight
ened the thongs about Neil's wrists
until they cut into the flesh.
That's enough. you coward!" ex-
claimed Nathaniel, as he saw the
blood start. "Here-take this!"
Like lightning he struck out and his
nst fell with crushing force against
the side of the mans head Mac
Dougall toppled back with hollow
| groan, blood squirting from his mouth
and nose. Nathaniel turned coolly to
"A pretty puppet to do the kings
commands!" he cried. "If there's q
man among you let him finish the
work."
Jeekum had fallen upon his knees
beside the whipper.
Great Cod" he shrieked. "You've
killed him! You've stove in the side
q his head!"
There was sudden commotion in
the corridor. A terrible voice doomed

LET me in!"
strang stood in the door. He gave
single glance at the man gaspins
and bleeding in the mud. Then he
looked at Nathaniel. The eyes of the

JAPANESE HUMOR.

No people exists among whom a sense of humor is developed to a greater extent than it is among the Japanese, says a writer in the Oc- tober Strand, and there is certainly no type of humor so difficult for a foreigner to understand as the Japan csc. At root, of course, it is of the same nature as the humor of all the world; but the unique character and genius of the language, the peculiar traditions and habit of thought of the people, grown. up through so many centuries apart from contact with the outer world, contribute to make the point of a Japanese joke a puZzle to the outsider. The most brilliant flash of fun is apt to need labOriouS ex- planation; and the moment one be- gins to explain a joke the fun van ishes, while by the end of an elab- crate exposition it becomes a bore and a stupid weariness.
 In Europe the fun is, as a rule, a poor form of wit, though, of course, everybody can quote bright excep- tions. In Japan the play of words a thing in the Japanese language far too subtle and significant to be called a pun-not only makes for wit and humor, but carries subletieS of poetic meaning unknown in other tongues. No translation can even make intel ligible the full significance of Jap
 
 meanings and a use of words involv- ing, literary a1lusion and association that utterly defy reproduction; and a mere verSelet of a few lines will car ry more curiosity and beautifully in terwoven meaning than is to be com pressed into European poem four times as long.
 For many reasons it is inevitable that a vast deal of Japanese humor must remain for ever a sealed book to the foreigner unacquainted with Japanese language and litera ture. But there is great deal more which IS as readily comprehensible to a for eigner as that, of his own countrymen. There are two Japanese comic papers, both very popular-the Kokkei Shi1n- bun, wholly and entirely Japanese in character, and the Tokyo Puck, which as it's name suggests, has a largely Europeanized outlook. The Kokkei Shimbun we must set aside, for it's fun is so completely Japanese that ex- plantations would be tedious and cause it to eyapOrate entirely. As a small instance, it may be mentioned that many Japanese written characters are compounded of two or more others, each having a wholly different mean ing ;and 8 great deal of shrewd fun arises and many sharp hits at cur rent events are made out of the as- sociations of these incongruous mean ings-all plainly lost on foreigner ignorant of the written characters. Even in the Tokyo Puck, the best of the fun is apt to lie in the purely native jokes and in political and To- cal allusions little understood on this eide 0f .ha world

UNDERGRADUATE SNOBS.
Baltimore Sun )

Yale, throughout its long and glor- ious history one of the most demo- cratic of American universities, is not yet through lambasting undergrad uate snobbery. Dean Jones has just issued an order that after the next the university will not be permitted to lodge in the luxurious private dor mitories, but will be housed on the campus with the rest of the, student body. This decision is made a year in advance in order that the owners iof these dormitories may have time to convert them to other uses.
 Any sensible person familiar with the growing tendency toward snob- bery in American colleges, with the drawing of caste lines within the stu dent bodies, will applaud the action of the Yale faculty. If there is one place in the world where a youth still in his minority ought to be discour- aged from lavish expenditures of money, that place is an American r collegs. In many of our institutions of learning there are coteries of aim of whose existence appears to be to show how much money they can spend and how foolishly it can be dis pensed. The famous Gold Coast" of Harvard is notorious for just that thing.
 It IS 1dUlenldDly LOO true III SOOu many of our institutions that the line of demarcation between a gentle man. (sic) and a "mucker' is deter mined by the tailors' bills. This, Is all the more unfortunate as a good many of our college aristocrats are spending money their families can Ill afford in order to keep up their end,' only to have their dreams of social and financial pre-eminence subsequently, dispelled in the univer- sity of hard knocks. Yale's lead might profitably be followed elsewhere.
