Crate of Stolen Chickens on His Bed

N HILADELPHIA.-When Nathaniel
Jones, colored, of Naudain street,
near Tenth, discovered a number OF
live chickens on his bed he was so In
dignant that the publicity he gave to
the matter resulted in the arrest OF
Edward Watkins, also colored, OF
Lombard street, near Fifteenth, who,
It is charged, stole tho poultry from a
store at Eleventh and Rodman streets
for a chicken dinner which he intend
ed to give to two of his friends, Rich
ard Green and Albert Emerson OF
Lombard street, near Tenth. The
three men were brought before Mag
lstrate. Eisenbrown at the Central po-
liOe station. After a hearing Green
and Emerson were discharged, but
Watkins was held in 5000 bail for
court.
At the hearing, Jones said that
when he returned from a theater he
was astonished to find a crate of live
chickens on his bed. Upon investiga-
Non he said, he learned that the
poultry had been brought there by
Watkins. About the same time B.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. II started In four

Then water would run from the PIN

ed more sores until nearly all one

solid sore. She was very fretfuL She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed 20 be Of any use.
"Then I got some Outicura Soap and

would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance TO help her, but
after I washed Il with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soOthe her and
she did not try to rub them on. It
was only a few days before her face

BONES OF PRIMITIVE MEN

Eleven skeletons OF primitive men,
with foreheads sloping directly back
from the eyes, and with two rows Of
teeth in the front OF the upper jaw.
have been uncovered In Craigshlll, at
Ellensburg. Wash They were found
about 20 feet below the surface, 20
feet back from the face Of the slope,
in a cement rock formation over
which was a layer Of shale. The rock
was perfectly dry.
The Jaw bones, which easily break,
are so large that they Will go around
the face Of the man of today. The
other bones are also much larger than
those of the ordinary man. The fe-
muir is 20 inches long, indicating.
scientists say, a man of 80 inches tall.
]. p. Munson, professor OF biology
in the state normal school. visited the
spot and pronounced them the bones
of a primitive man. The teeth in front
are worn almost down to the Jaw
bones, due, DR.. Munson says, to eat
ing uncooked foods and crushing hard
substances with the teeth. The slop-
ing skull, he says, shows an extreme
ly low order Of intelligence, far
earlier than that Of the Indians
known to the whites.

Texas VIII Fight Mosquito With Bat

mense numbers of the pestiferous In
sects, the manner being to dash back
and forth through a swarm and COB
BILE the victims up by the wholesale.
In view of which fact it occurred
to DR.. Campbell that it might be a
good idea to establish In and about
San Antonio a number Of "bat roosts," :"
as he calls them-that is to say, struc'
lures so contrived as to invite bats
for sleeping purposes. He has already
set up two of them, and proposes to
erect others, those already in opera
ton having proved highly successful
The question which naturally sug-
gests itself offhand is, On what plan
or pattern should a dormitory for bats
be constructed? And, again, when
once It is built, how are the little
winged mammals to be induced to
take up their residence in the quar-
ters 30 kindly provided for them?
There are no windows, but oppOrtu-
nifty of entrance is afforded to the bats
by a series Of horizontal openings so
arranged as to resemble the Stats Of
an ordinary window shutter. The
whole building is thirty feet high,
the upper twenty feet being the in
closed portion, and the Slated ar
rangement runs up each Of the two
sides for a distance Of sixteen feet.

q AN ANTONIO, Tex.-There is a
y man in Texas who has found out a
new way to fight the mosquito. His
name is Dr. Charles R. Campbell. He
is official bacteriologist Of the city OF
San Antonio.
His idea is to employ bats as mos
quito fighters. The neighborhood OF
San Antonio is especially plagued by
mosquitoes-malaria is more or less
rife in that vicinity-and for long
time past the inhabitants Of the mu-
nicipality and its suburbs have eager
ly sought to find solution OF the
problem. Much benefit has been OBJ
tanned by keeping minnows in cisterns
and ponds-these small fishes being
greedy devourers of mosquito larvae
but such measures have not altogeth-
er met requirements.
Bats, as is well known. are insect
eaters, and are particularly fond OF
MOSQUITOES. In the twilight, when
they rove abroad. they deVour i'm

Militant Cow Puts Policemen to Rout

n HICAGO.-A spotted COW which
" answered with enthusiasm TO the
name of "Violet" came into East Chi
cago the other evening, approached
the outer fringe 70 the political battle
field, and went mad.
At midnight Policeman John Lazar
was walking his peaceful beat in the
neighborhood of Chicago and Ken
nedy avenues when he met Violet and
was seized with a sense Of pastoral
poetry and moonlight.
'T will take her to the pound and
imagine myself once more in the old
lane that leads from the pasture to
my fathers barn." Lazar told himself
and smiled with pleasure at the pros
pect.
He approached Violet sympathetic
ally and with a delicate motion Of his
arms sought to watt her in the direc-
ton she should go.
Violet refused to be waited. She
was in playful mood and showed
desire to place both her front feet
at once on the policeman's shoulders.
He retreated warily. He got inside
a patrol box and from its security
argued with the bovine.
Violet hurled herself against the
policeman's shelter
He drew his club and shook it stern
~ in her face. She recognized no au-
Ehority.

TREATING OBSTINATE PLANTS

Plants have a mind of their. own on
the subject of winter sleep, and gar
deners have tried various methods Of
waking them up prematurely, to fur
nish blossoms at a time when they
are scarce and costly. Mere green
house heat and moisture failing to
yield the desired results, they have
successfully tried warm baths ans
ether vapors to shorten the hiberna
ing period of bulbs. From Germany
comes description of the latest plan
devised by a man named Weber. BY
sticking a needle into the base of q
bud he has caused It to unfold tw0

Policeman Fried was on fixed post
when man came along and told him
about the miniature arsenal 1t did
not scare the policeman a bit. He
.sauntered over TO the hallway and
bore down on the embryonic western
terror. Without pulling a gun on him
and telling him TO throw up his hands
he grabbed him by the scruff Of the
neck, gave him an oldfashioned clout
and said:
Sonny, what have you got in your
pockets?"
With an awful scowl the boy bandit
faced his captor. The officer took him
upstairs where the family was found
In a condition Of terror. Fried then
took the pocket edition Of Jesse James
to the West side police station
The two guns were fully loaded. The
slungshot was one OF the toughest
looking weapons the police had ever
seen. It was made up Of nails and
bits Of steel and covered with leather,
with a leathern thong attached to It
for the wrist. The dime novels were

officials have been interested in her
case for the last so years, first on ac-
count of her marvellous memory, and
more lately because Of her longevity.
She is now almost blind, and bent fair
ly in two with rheumatism. She has
been transferred, within the last year,
to a Catholic institution where she
will be cared for, her children having
all died, one son recently at the age OF
eighty-nine Another was Jesuit
priest, who died in 1910 at the age of

thickly covered with two sets Of
glands, one set Of which is plainly Wis
ible to the naked eye. This visible set
resembles a miniature mushroom,
while the other set is microscopic and
is formed Of eight cells grouped after
the manner Of a wart or a knob. It Is
the practice Of these glands whenever
they come into contact with any OBJ
ject to pour out copiously mucilagin-
GUS fluid, which acts much in the same
way as bird lime. Acid secretion Is
also produced, which aids the leaf in
the digestion of the object-supposing
that the capture should be an insect.
In order to make assurance doubly
sure, the edge of the leaf in certain
species is seen to curl slowly inward.
Now we can imagine that in the very
far-away future with which we are
dealing, the Pinguicula will develop
leaves which will hardly be less than
five or six feet in length. These lying
along the surface Of the ground will
make a special appeal to grazing ami

PENS IN THE TROPICS

The ordinary steel pens used in
temperate climates, particularly those
used in the United States, are not
adaptable to the tropics on account Of
rusting. This is especially true dur
iag the rainy season and at seaports.
Bronze or brass pens, or those coat
ed with bronze, do not seem to be thus
affected. Ink deteriorates very quick
ly in tropical climates and often has
the consistency of gum, On the ordi-
nary steel pens this aids the rust and
Is hard to wipe Off If left for a short
time. With the bronze or brass pen
or with pen coated with bronze, the
coated ink is easily wiped or burnt
off.
