SUICIDE
Unless He Was Released
From Jail.

Aroused by his confinement in the
county Jail for safe keeping. Carl Led
better, religious maniac, who lived
with his wife at 213 Randolph street,
announced both in his prayers and to
his father-in-law that unless he was
released before night he would sacri-
flee himself to his Maker.
Ledbetter since his confinement on
Wednesday has spent his time on his
knees exhorting the Lord for divine
strength. On visit from his father
in-law on Friday he talked with him
freely and was rational on all subjects
except that he constantly drifted to-
wards some religious topic He be-
lieves his wife stands between him and
God. He attempted to assault her
with hatchet. The family then de-
cided to place him in Jail for safe
keeping, awaiting admittance to East
ern Indiana hospital
That he will not have an opportunity
to carry out his suicidal threat is
eyinced by the close surveillance that
is maintained over him by Frank De-
maree, the guardian of the insane. and
the other prisoners. An inquest will
be held on him as quickly as possible
and it is probable he will be admitted
to the state institution at once for
treatment of the insane.

He made it known that he was in

A Friendly Penuuin.

I outbid friend for a penguin,
which became an interesting pet The
friend wanted the bird for it's skin.
On board ship the bird soon got accus-
toned to its surroundings and found
that the cook was one to keep on
good terms with, and it haunted the
galley, getting many tidbits. It was al
ways in attendance when the market
boat came alongside in the morning
and followed the steward as he car
ried the days provisions aft. Strange
to say, it developed great liking for
lettuce, although it's natural food is
fish, and another curious trait was that
it would never pick up food from the
deck or out of water, but would al
ways take it ravenously from the
hand. 1t behaved like a child and
would make whining sound as if
begging to be lifted up and would cud-
die down and appear to be quite hap
py when being nursed.-Scotsman.

That Is the Name That Was Once

want, was travelling in 1743 in Ecua-
dor with an expedition sent out to
measure degree of the meridian for
scientific purposes. He kept a jour-
nal, and the following entry is dated
July II:
In the forests of Quito there flows a
Kind Of resin which is called "cahuchu.''
When fresh it can be nodded into any
form. It is impervious to rain.
He further describes how the natives
used it for making a special kind of
syringe, and in April, 1745, when he
had returned from his journey, he pre-
sented a sample Of "cahuchu'' to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris. The
French word for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
is simply a corruption of this Indian
name.
La Condamine treated the product
as mere vegetable curiosity It was
Fresneau, French engineer, who first
studied and utilized the substance. He
embarked for Guiana with a model of
the fruit and sketch of the leaf. He
rowed along the rivers, offered the
natives drink and music and when he
had assured himself of their friendship
by these and other gifts showed his
patterns and asked them to indicate
the plant. His efforts We're finally sue
cessful, and he obtained enough rub
Der to make a pair of boots, which he
presented to M. de Maurepas, who
went to court in them. The "electric
milk" as it was termed, thus made it's

Mosaic Work.

The origin of Mosaic work is IN
known. We may be sure, however,
that it began among some oriental peo-
pie. 1t had attained to great excellence
in Greece in the time of Alexander and
his successors. The Romans also ex-
cel1ed in Mosaic work, as is shown by
the many preserved specimens today
to be seen in the museums. The art
was revived in Italy by Giotto, Cine
bue and others and from Italy made
it's way into the other European coun-
tries. Some of the achievements of the
Mosaic works of the best Italian period
are little less than miraculous. New
