Beginnings Of Llfeboa..

Like many other inventions the life
boat was long time in finding favor.
The first lifeboat was designed by a
London coach builder, Lionel Lukin, In
1885, under the encouragement Of the
prince Of Wales, but despite royal pa
tronage. his invention received little
attention, though one OF his boats
saved several liveso at Marlborough.
The loss of the Adventure in 1850 first
destroyed public apathy in this sub
ject and. with the offering OF prizes
for lifeboat designs a first step toward
lie saving at sea was taken.

SCIENTISTS BRAIN is
LIGHTER THAN cHlLD's.

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.-Experts
at the Wister Institute of Anatomy
have just completed the examination
of the brain of DR.. John H. Musser, a
noted diagnostician, who died recent
ly, They found that DR., Musser's brain
weighed less than that of a well-de-
veloped child. It was twenty ounces
lighter than the brain of Daniel Web
ster and twenty-four ounces lighter
than that of James Fisk, the New York
Spectator, who was murdered a num-
Der of years ago.
Scientists explain this ususual state
of affairs by saying that DR., Musser
developed along one line, and there
fore not fully developing all parts of
the brain. The convulutions showed
that he exercised portions of it to a
wonderful extent.

Whole Families Are Slain,

Most of the assassinations were ac-
complished in the killing of fanatics
of three and four members at one
time. In every instance the murder
was committed at night.
The police gathered from Clemen-
tines story that the religious fanatics
took possession of a cottage owned by
a person marked for slaughter and
that a bloody orgy followed, So far
as can be ascertained none of the cult
suffered death in any of the cere-
monies of sacrifice.
The mysterious series of killings
instilled terror in the breast of every
negro in southern Louisiana and
Texas. In many communities blacks
would not stir from their homes at
night and doors of cabins that never
before had known a lock were barred
The grand jury, now in session, is
expected to return verdict charging
the woman with the crimes to which
she has confessed.

Tells Of the slaughters.

The police declare Clementine told
her story of wholesale slaughter with
no apparent appreciation that the TAX
ing of human life was a crime. With
out reservation she told her part in
thirty-five assassinations, but declined
to reveal the names of members of
the mysterious cult that helped her
The murders have been committed
in the last year. AS one series of
killings was added to another in diff
ferent towns Of southwestern Louisi-
lana and southeastern Texas the au-
thorities concluded one mind directed
all Today the negress confessed she
was the directing head of the cult
that is known as the Church of the
Sacrifice" which has for it's creed
the belief that by life sacrifice alone
may a person gain immortality.
Arms Herself With "Hcodoo."
Before engaging in any of these
crimes Clementine armed herself with
"hoodoo" which she got from
preacher and which she and another
members of her band were assured
would protect them from the law.
While the exact reason for the muir
ders is not explained to the satisfac-
! ton of the authorities, it is believed
that Clementne and her companions
were affected by the exhortations they
had heard in the Church of Sacri-
| fee"
