No Chance for Economy.

Meantime the government and the coun-
try seem to be needing more money all
the time. The estimates have been cut
right and left but still nthe needs pile up.
SO that there is no chance at marked
economy, while there is every danger
of a mountaineering budget
The public building bill is going to
dampen the ardor Of many an economist.
There seems to be no way of stopping
this enormous thing from getting before
the House with SO 100000 of expenses in
1t. Although the bill is not reported. there
is definite rlITnor to the effect that the
sum named will not be far away from the
actual total. The rivers and harbors bill
will help swell the tide and the Sherwood
pension bill has no small part In making
up q billon-dollar budget
Watchdogs of the Treasury bark loud
ly upon the floor of the House, but they
can do but little in the way of soaring
the committees in charge of the big ap-
preparation bills.

cen years old. acted in ID manner that at
tracted the attention Of Policemen Oster-

able to discuss his trouble. He did
manage to tell the policemen that he
resided at 1872 9Th street northwest;
that he had visited girl friend and
that he had later gone to the river
front and taken the iodine.
When he reached Emergency Hospi-
tai all he would say was that he was

survey. the first named presiding.
Seven Years of Study.
DR.. Lyon has studied treeshrews for
the last seven years, finding them in the
Malay peninsula, Borneo and north as
far as the Philippine Islands. The animal
in appearance and habits has points in
common with the weasel and squirrel DR.
Lyon not only sought the animal in its
nativity. but also studied specimens in
practically all of the museums of E,u-
rope.
His thesis illustrated with many plates
is considered the most comprehensive and
exhaustive of any dealing with the mann
malian family. DIR. Lyon received the de-
gree Of bachelor of philosophy from
Brown University in 1897. and the de-
gree of master of science in 1900. In 1870.

PAINE AND JUNIUs.

1t has never been clearly demon
strated that Thomas Paine was the
author of the 'Letters of Junius. +"
"Junius Unmasked," published in
Washington by John Gray & Co.,
1879, is a most plausible book, but it
stops far short of the point for which
its author set out, which was to
prove that Paine wrote the celebrat-
ed letters. In all probability Junius
will never be unmasked. The keen
est intellects of the period in which
the letters appeared tried their ut
most to discover the author of the
extraordinary epistles and tried in
vain. We have the letters, and they
are, of their kind, the choicest pro-
ductions of the human mind, but to
whom belongs the honor of having
produced them is still one of the
mysteries.

chInaman Disappointed Because
Friend Was Not 70 Be Council
man, but Senator.

Senator Kirkland 1. Perky, ap-
pointed to succeed the late Senator
Hepburn Of Idaho, studied law in
the office Of Mr.. Bill Bryan at Lin
coin back in the days when Bryan
was entirely unknown and half Of
his mail came addressed as 0'Brien.
Perky is an agreeable, compact
man with a large head covered with
heavy black name. He looks too
stoutish for any exercise more strenu-
Gus than brushing his teeth of
morning-or croquet at the outside,
but the funny thing about it is that
he can play a whirlwind game of
lawn tennis, and can step right out
on short notice and kick as high as
his head.
When it was announced that Perky
had been appointed senator, China
man he knows well out in Boise,
stopped him to offer "congratula-
TONS"
"You make fine councilman" said
the Chink.
"But it's a senator Pm to be-" ex-
planned Perky; "down at Washing
ton, you know"
"Oh," says the Chink, in a disap-
pointed tone, 'that all me thought
you to be city councilman"

PROOF THAT WORM CAN THINK
Experiment Made by Harvard College
Professor Interesting, If Not Of
Great Importance.

From a series of experiments con-
Quoted by Professor Yerkes of the
psychological department of Harvard
college, the professor has become con-
vinced that an angleworm can think.
Knowing that an angleworm will
always crawl out of lighted place
into a dark one, the professor put the
worm, which he was experimenting
on, into a glass dish in which were
two dark holes. The right-hand hole
was merely a regular earth cavity.
The left-hand one, however, con-
tanned a mildly charged electric bat
terry, the object of which is to give
the worm a shock in case it should
desire to poke itself into it.
At last reports the worm had
learned its lesson pretty well and wal
continually going to the right wher
it was put into the glass dish.
A series of similar experiments
including mice, guinea pigs and 81
forth, is said to be contemplated b,
the psychology department.

DANGEROUS ONLY IN PANIC
HIppopotaml viii Not Attack Man
Unless ImpeIIed by Unreason-
Ing and Blind Fear.

The hippopotamus which attacked
Sir John Kirk and Livingstone was,
no doubt, a bachelor" Speaking OF
the hippopotami Of the Chobe, Liv-
ingstone says that, "as certain elder
ly males are expelled from the herd,
they become soured in their temper,
and so misanthropic as to attack
every canoe that comes near them.
The herd is never dangerous except
when a canoe passes into the midst
of 1t when all are asleep. and some OF
them may strike the canoe In terror,
AS rule, these animals fee the ap-
proach of man. The "solitaires," how.
ever, frequent certain localities well
known to the inhabitants on the
banks, and, like the rogue elephants
are extremely dangerous" Living
stone learnt that, when attacked by
one, you should dive to the bottom
and keep there a few seconds, since
the hippo soon moves off If he finds
nobody on the surface.

Odd Greek Superstition.

The belief, illustrated in the ballad
Df The Bridge Of Arta, that human
victim is required to insure the sta
bility of bridge or building survives
In Greece today, ]. A. Lawson says.
There is no murder now. 1t suffices
to obtain. preferably from an enemy
or an old person, hair. nail pairing,
shred of clothing, old shoe or a thread
Or stick marked with the persons
height or footprint measure, and bury
these beneath the foundation stone
The victim dies within a year, but
the building is safe.
Even a shadow will do. Mr.. Law
son was himself dragged back by a
friend in Santorini so that his shadow
might not fall across such a fatal
spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told
him that his four predecessors had
all died from letting their shadows
fall on foundation stones laid by
them.

TO DEAL DEATH in SILENCE
Military Men Seek Devices That VIII
DO Away with The Noise Now
Made BY Aoropiane.

Noise Of battle has always been con-
sidered an indispensable part Of war
fare. II is. however. thing unneces-
sary and undesirable. The efficiency
Of a gunpowder weapon is measured
by It's killing capacity. The more
noise It makes the fewer It kills. The
booming battery is like tho rattle
snake. Audibly It warns OF its pres
ence. The snake that lies low and
strikes silently claims the most vic
Tins. The Maxim silencer Is intended
to make guns less noisy and more
useful in their specific field Of activ-
ity. The quite noisefess gun would
be more desirable than the wholly
smokeless powder from the stand
point of the warrior. Now comes the
complaint that the military aeroplane
is deprived of much of its usefulness
because of the tremendous noise of
its whirring propellers. At night, when
the flyers dart about above the dark
ened camps, their presence is adver-
tised to the ear. In daylight they have
to fly high to dodge bullets, at night
they migst woop down low enough
to gain accurate information were 1t
not for the inevitable noise. There
fore the inventors are striving to de-
wise a noiseless aeroplane. If noise
lessness is desirable in warefare how
much more is 1t to be sought in hum
drum times of peace? The business
of war is to destroy life, and noise is
handicap. The business of peace is
to prolong life, and to make life hap
by, and noise is a still greater handi-
cap. Cities are becoming saner. They
are, by ordinance, putting the muffler
on some kinds of utterly senseless
clamor. But there remain many caco-
phonies that might easily be elimi-
mated. Anti-noise societies should find
cheer and comfort in the fact that
even war is falling in line for their re-
form. War would seem to be the final
stronghold of noise, and silent battles
the last dream of the optimist.

drug he ought to have determin-

that headache medicines, or
any other remedies that Instant

Injurious, eyen dangerous, be-
