EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
Scientific Fact Not Known to AII- Acuteness of Hearing Among the
 Lower Animals.

It is very difficult to make some per- sons believe that nothing can move without making a sound, although it may seem to be absolute silence to them Everything that moves dis turbs the air around it and sets up a kind of wave motion that spreads through the atmosphere in all direc- tions. When these wave motions are strong enough sound is heard. That nothing is heard is no evidence that there is no sound, for other living things may hear what men cannot.
 The motion that is started in the air when anything vibrates or moves suddenly has often been compared to the motion of the surface of still wa ter when we drop pebble into a pond But there is this great differ- ence The eye can see the wave made by the smallest glass bead you can find, but the ear is not nearly so sen ty high in the atmosphere the human ear cannot detect them as sound.
 The lower animals and birds have much better ears than human beings. A dog will prick up its eSrs at the sound of its masters voice, or faint whistle, when it is an astonishing dis tance off. A man in Baltimore put his head out of the window and called his dog Jack, which he thought was chas- ing cats in the grounds of the blind asylum opposite.
 The dog was sitting on the steps of friends house with the mans daugh- ter, nearly half a mile away, and in- stantly jumped up and tore off home. It had heard that call.
 A deer has been known to look up at the sound of a footstep that was still half mile away in the woods.

AIbino Puzzle.

The albino is still one of the pug. sles of science. Beyond the knowi edge that albinism is due to lack of the normal pigment in skin and hair the physiologist and pathologist are about as much at sea regarding the real explanation of this freak of na- ture as they were a hundred or a thousand years ago. As to the ulti- mate why of the problem-why the pigment is missing in the albino- there is nothing but a collection of unconvincing guesses. Regarding tse statistics of albinism nothing satis- factory is obtainable1 except in two countries. In Italy the albinos num- Der about one in every twenty thou sand of the population, whereas in Norway the rate is twice as high, with one in every ten thousand.

 Several Arrests Made,

Chicago, H., May 3-Gangs of professional thugs, some of them ex- convicts, instituted series of riots today and brutally beat a number ol little newsboys who tried to sell papers on the streets.
 In their effort to prevent not only the publication but the sale of news papers included in the Chicago local of the Newspaper Publishers Asso- citation, these men resorted to Elan igan' slugging tactics and many of them were arrested.
 Boys selling copies of the American Daily News, Journal and Evening Pest were beaten, knocked down and kicked around by the ruffians.
 The chief of police has issue orders that all characters found involved in disturbances be jailed and order will be preserved
 Pede- trains would be walking along the street, would see a news stand with afternoon papers for sale and just as they would be purchasing a paper the little boy would be knocked down by a man big enough to be his father.

AMERICANS ACCUSED
 IN LONDON, ENGLAND
CH ARGED WITH HAVING SWIND- LED THREE NEW WORKERS
 OUT OF $3O0,OOO.
Had Secret Process to Turn Out Per- feet !lithOgraphs at One-Tenth
 Cost of Old System.

London, May 3.--Clark A. Miller and Alfred E. Motley formerly of New York, were arraigned in the Bow street police court today, on a charge of grand larceny. Motley and Miller are charged with having swindled William Ottman, John Omwalle and James M. Hutton, officers of the Unit ed States Autograph Company, of New York, out of $100,000
 Both of these men until recently had an office in New York, where they interested Ottman in an alleged secret process to turn out perfect Autographs at one-tenth the cost of the old system The secret process, the said, would also make a Autograph in an hour that it would take days to perfect by the old method.
 Ottman alleges that Motley and Mill Ter represented other large firms as bidders for an interest in the pro- JUDD, cIiu cIlcI tt COui oc Ol pi demonstrations of their ability to turn out the largest sheet posters, as we'll as the smallest Autograph, in an incredibly short time, induced him and his associates to put up $50,000 for the privilege of using the process in this country. Later, on being con vinced that they could print litho- graphs on canvass, as well as on pa per, the Ottman crowd claim to have put up another $50,000.
 These demonstration, Ottmann al leges, Were false and the effect obs tained was the result of sleight Of hand methods, the Autographs being prepared beforehand and "p1anted" for the Ottmann click.
 Beth Motley and Miller denied these charges when arrested in Lon- don and each of them supplied bail to the amount of $50,000 for his ap- pearanee today.

Unable to Count Beyond Four.

A close observer has definitely es- tablished the fact that magpies and rocks cannot count further than four. A rock never returns to it's nest until 1t Is quite satisfied that there Is no danger near. When four hunters or less departed in succession from a nearby log cabin, the rock would re- turn to it's nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and re. turned to it's nest even while some were still in the hut
