INSTALLMENT PLAN FINES.

A police Judge in Kansas City, ac-
cording to Golfers. has perceived that
it Is not exact justice for one man to
be allowed to go free merely because
he has the money to pay his fine,
while another who has no money goes
to jail. The judge is quoted as saying.
.''The rich men Fay their fines and
go, but the moor man is imprisoned,
to labor at fifty cents day until the
amount of his fine is worked out; and
that is nothing more than sending a
man to Jail for debt, practice sup
posedly abolished long ago.

The Barry Hospital received a check for fifty dollars from Martin and Wooten, attorneys at law, left by the will of the late Mike Hannah to this institution. We were not cognizant of the fact that he had left anything to charity, but we were intimately ac- quainted with Mike Hannah in his life time and know that he had a good and charitable heart, and we were not surprised at any good deeds that he might do.

Breaks OFF Tusks.

New York.-In a fit of pique, Congo,
the only dwarf elephant in captivity
disfgured himself in the Bronx zoo.
The day being fine, all the elephants
except Congo were permitted to go
into the yard outside the elephant
house. He had been showing signs of
bad temper recently.
No sooner were the keepers out of
the building than he braced his hind
feet against the rear brick wall, while
he began to saw and hammer the iron
railing at the front of the stall with
his tusks.
His ivory adornments are exquisite
ly proportioned, elephant men say, and
prove that he is a real dwarf, since
they are in distinct size relation to the
rest of his body. Before the keepers
knew what he had done Congo had
broken off eight inches Of ivory from
one tusk and ten from the other. Then
the keepers tied up his head. The
stumps Of the tusks will be capped.

WHY THUNDER sOURS MILK

1t has often been observed that some
foods, such as milk, meat and soup. go
bad when there is a thunderstorm.
This has generally been attributed to
the electricity causing an extra sup
ply OF ozone in the air. but expert
ments conducted recently by Prof.
'TrilIat In France do not confirm this
theory.
Prof Trillat has proved that infini-
testmal traces of the gases OF putres-
cence cause tactic ferments to pro-
gress with great rapidity. It is known
that atmospheric depressions cause
the gases lying In the earth and In
all other objects to come to this sur
face. This Is what makes odors more
after a storm. From this
1t was natural deduction that atmo-
epheric depression accelerated decay
'by liberating the gases In milk or 9TH
&er perishable foods.
Prof Trillat made many expert
'ments with substances under varying
degree of atmospheric pressure and
proved that the lower the barometer
the more rapid the decay.
