GHOSTS OF THE OCEAN.
Phantom Ships That Reappear in
Times of Great Storms.

From the London Standard
The number of phantom ships is legion.
Several of the vessels which were wreck
ed In close proximity to the scene Of the
Titanic disaster are even said to reappear
in the same spot on certain occasions.
The Packet Light is one of these, and the
story runs that whenever a storm is
threatened ball of fire energies from the
spot where the ship sank, which presently
forms itself into the shape of vessel,
and then sinks and disappears
King George and his brother the late
Duke of Clarence, when on their cruise in
the Bacchante from 1879 to 1882 are stated

Dutchman. and the duke mentioned the
fact In his diary under date of July IL.
1881.
A three masted frigate is said to haunt
the English channel in the vicinity of the
Over lightship whenever gale or snow
storm is threatened. Hundreds of people
nave declared that they have seen the ap-
partition and heard the cries Of the ghost

the phantom OF the training ship Fury

of about 200 lives.

Hopis' Hostile Village.
From the Christian Herald

From the Christian Herald.
There are eight Hopi villages stu
ated on three mesas. Upon the first
mesa" the most eastern, are three vii
lagos so close together that they may
almost be considered as constituting a
single community. Seven miles west
is the second mesa" upon which are
also three villages. the most isolated
of the Hopi towns. Still further west
Is the third mesa" upon which are
located two villages, Oraibi and Hote-
velte- The latter is commonly known
as the hostile village
1t was established seven or eight
years ago the result of a dispute
between the Snake and Eagle clans of
Oraibi. Members of the Snake clan
favored obedience to the command OF
the White Father at Washington tina,
the children OF Oraibi be sent to the
government school at Keams Canyon
while members of the Eagle clan coun-
seled resistance. The dispute waxed
40 acrimonious that it resulted in a
pitched battle of two days duration
which was stopped only by the arrival
of troops from Fort Wingate. The
belligerents were ANONYMOUSLY carted
of prisoners of war. On their re-
lease the disgruntled Eagle clan with
drew from Oraibi and established ar
independent village.

Very little originality is shown by the
assassin. If he does not use pistol or
bomb he has recourse to an ordinary
knife. In almost all political assassina-
tons one Of these three has been used.
The only exception was Luccheni, the
anarchist who SO brutally killed the I'M
fortunate Empress of Austria at Geneva.
His weapon was a file fixed in a wooden
handle and ground to a keen point. This
was afterward destroyed by the Swiss
authorities.
AS diabolical a specimen of murderous
ingenuity as ever was discovered by the
police was found in the possession of a
Chinaman, who had been working in a
laundry in New Orleans and who was
believed to have intended using it upon
his employer.
1t was a tiny stiletto, with a handle
about as thick as carpenters pencil and
blade four inches long of glass. pointed
as keenly as a needle. A tiny groove
had been filed around the blade close to
the hilt. Suppose it was driven into a
mans body it would be certain to break
off at the groove and leave three inches
of glass deep in his flesh. What is more,
the puncture would be so tiny that it
would probably close at once and show
no mark, not even a single drop of blood.

WEAPONS USED BY CRIMINALS
Glass Stiletto-Pistol Shot That
Makes Victim Unconscious.

From Pearson's Weekly.
The ordinary Paris apache or hooligan
Invariably carries a revolver. and most of
the murders which have recently horri-
fed Paris have been committed with the
ordinary sixshooter.
The weapon which the police found
upon Provost, who lay in wait for a bank
messenger April 2 last. was a novelty.
He and friend named Coulon planned
to kill this messenger in way which
would be least likely to attract public at
tention.
Coulon carried a bludgeon with which
to stun the man. Provost had medical
syringe charged with that most deadly
of all poisons. prussic acid. He con-
fessed that he had meant to squirt this
down the victims throat, which would
have resulted In his instant death.
A pistol which renders the person fired
at unconscious without seriously injuring
him was found upon a hooligan arrested
in East London in October last. The car
tridges contained mixture of gum
powder, burned cayenne pepper and lyco-

Manchester had been stabbed with a corn
knife. which was found on the floor be-
side her. The murderer was never
caught. And surgeons lancet was the
weapon used by the maniac who In the
year 1900 stabbed no fewer than eighty
people in the streets of Kiel. and before
he was at last arrested caused a panic
worse than that produced by the in
famous Jack the Ripper.
Perhaps the strangest weapon ever
used for killing was an umbrella. In
October, 1908, a man named Ernest
Smith was found dead in Chiswick High
street. He had a punctured wound in
the eye which had reached his BARN. and
which the doctors agreed had undoubted-
ly been caused by the steel ferrule of an
umbrella.

Where Radium Is Plenty.
From the Chicago Journal.

Spectrum analysis Investigations have
convinced Prof. Keustner OF the Bonn
University that goodly amount OF
radium is one OF the elements In the
constitution OF the new star that has

ton Gemini
This leads to the suggestion that
"Radium" would be a proper name for
the newcomer in the range OF the
astronomers telescope.

New Way to Teach Reading.

From the London Chronicle.
A novel system OF learning to read

been devised by the head mistress of a
school at Chelsea.
The children act parts of the different
letters. the consonants being called "cou-
SINS the plain vowel sounds the five
little short brothers. and the diphthongs
and other vowel sounds the long broth
ers.'

APPROPRIATIONS WERE LARGE.
Total for Session Nearly One Billion
Dollars.

Official figures on the total appropria-
tons of this session of Congress will not
be available until tomorrow. but it is
likely the aggregate will approximate
81 600. 100000.
The session falls two months short of
the record breaking duration of the first
session of the Ffftieth Congress, when the
Mills tariff bill was considered. On the
average this session has broken the rec
ord in the number of days per week and
the hours per day in which the House has
been in session.
The spoken proceedings in the House
aggregate 25,O0O,COO words, breaking the
record by about 5,O0O,OOO words.

broadside at former President Roosevelt

The attack was made in reply to Col.

cal spies organized into bureau operat-

bytheir successful exploitation"
