for taking the fugitive without asserting 10
his terms; but the same objection arose to
each OF these schemes, the probability that
Barker would carry out his threat To- the
letter and Kill his prisoner. Only one course
seemed to have any possibility Of success.
This was TO sit tight and starvc out the con-
vict. But in all probability this would fail.
since Barker would undoubtedly survive the
cook in a prolonged fast.
But here again Barker frustrated such
plan. SuSpccting what might be attempted.
he called to the guards and demanded food.

said, meant violence and torture worse than

which OF the prisoners would survive.

Synthetic Food Made

From the New York sun.
The Berliner Tageblatt describes soma
remarkable experiments which have been
made by Professor Abderhaden of Ber-
lin. in the synthetic preparation of food.
Professor Abderhalden has succeeded in
keeping a dog alive on food which he pro-
duced sYnthetically in his laboratory. He
accomplished this notably creating the
actual foods which animals normally Feed
on, but by administering the chemical
constituents of the food in simpler FORMS
The necessary fat was administered in
the form of glycerin and sebacic acid
and the necessary carbohydrates in the
form of sugar, which can be synthetical-
~ made. The production of the indispen-
sable alubumen at first proved an OBJ
stacle, as science is far from having sue
ceeded in making albumen synthetically.
Professor Abderhal,;en, however, worked
on the basis of the known fact that the
albumen taken as food is dissolved dur
ing digestion into its constituents and
transformed into cel albumen. This. he
reasoned. meant that If the constituents
of albumen, which can be produced in
the laboratory. where given as food they
would suffice. Experiment proved this
assumption to be true. The dog flour
ished.
From this Professor Abderhalden went
further He gave another dog instead of
this food a mixture of acids prepared in
his laharatory and the animal proved to
be well nourished. IN this way it was
proved that everything necessary for the
support OF animal life can be synthetical-
~ manufactured out of half dozen ele-
montS.

Hiram Bingham in the Atlantic.
Germany ,ise getting around the Mon
roe doctrine, and is actually making a
peaceful conquest of South America
which will injure us as much as If we
had allowed her to make a military
conquest OF the southern republics. She
is winning south American friendship.
She has planted colonies. one of which
in Southern Brazil, has $4,000 people
in it, as large "a population as that of
Vermont and nearly as large as that
of Montana. Germany is taking pains
to educate her young business men in
the Spanish langus ge, and to send them
out equipped to capture Spanish Amer

Trade follows the flag" Germany has
magnificent steamers, flying the Ger
man flag giving fortnightly service
to every important port in South Amer
ica--ports where the American flag is
practically never seen. She has her
banks and business houses which have
branches IN the interior cities. BY
their means she is able to keep track
of American commerce, TO know what
we are doing. and at what rates
Laughing in her sleeve at the Monroe
doctrine as an. antiquated policy. which

UP-TO-DATE RAILWAY
IN ANCIENT BAGDAD

From the American Review of Reviews.
Bagdad, the city of the Arabian Nights,
is soon to have the most interesting pic
turesuue and impressive railway terminal
in the world Site for the new station
has only recently been chosen. There is
no more picturesque region in the world

Fourteen years ago several different
Russian and British proposals for rail-
road through the Euphrates valley were
rejected by the British government.
Later the Deutsche bank obtained a con-
cession from the porte. and German cap
ital, aided by German diplomacy, began
the construction of this important trunk
line through all the near east to the Per-
sian gulf, with branches toward the Cau-
casus to the Eastern Mediterranean. to
the holy cities of Islam, Medina and Mec-

port on the Red sea. There was consd-
cradle discussion over placing the line
under international control
The. first section, under construction to
the Anatolian Railway company for SO
wears, was completed In 1904. The Turk
ish government guaranteed to-"provide
certain fixed amount per kilometer for
construction purposes. The British gov
ernment, however, refuses to be a party
to the scheme, and withdrew, with the
result that the railway came almost en-
tirely under German control. Later,
Britain, jealous of the security of her
connections with India, finally brought
about financial arrangement according
to which, while the Germans control the
railway, French, Austrian, Italian and
other capitalists have large holdings.

cient lands of the globe. 1t aims at being

DIR. Nalois Demen, a physician from
Paris, who served in a semi-official ca
pacity with the Greek forces at Janina
during the military operations about the
city, performed some remarkable surgi-
cal experiments
According to Cremedas, DR.. Damien
brought with him from Paris 90 wealthy
patients suffering with diseased kidneys
and other organs and established an in
valid camp at Philates, a small town 10
miles from Janina.
Dr. Damien made several unsuccessful
attempts to obtain an audience with the
king, but was finally successful when a
sum of money was contributed by one of
the invalids to equip a battery for the
army
Commanders of the divisions at the
front were given orders to send DIR. Dam

Story of Letter Which Fam
GUS Outlaw Sent The
Age-Herald
Ry CHARLES w. GREER

The rather romantic experiences OF Johh
Sparrow with Bart Thrasher, the outlaw
published last Sunday in The Age-Herald,
recalls quite vividly the experience ! had
with his pals At the time l was holding
down the positions of editor in chief
managing editor and night editor of The
Age-Herald while Phil Cosmisky, assist
ed by the police force, looked after the
news department. These two constituted
the staff at that particular time.
The clock hand on the postoffice build
ing had Just pointed to o'clock, The
telegraph operator had left his type
writer, Cos had turned out his light,
and the two had retired to the nearest
saloon for a free lunch and beer.
Clancy. the foreman, was knocking for
orders to close the forms. only the fore
man. assistant foreman and | We're ''on
the job.
For some days Cos had been keeping
close and not trail on Bart's movements,
and nearly every morning he printed a
good story. 1t was known that Bart had
really visited Birmingham on several oc-
casions after nightfall on the hunt for
Deputy Cole whom he had sworn to kill
on sight. His movements were followed
each day by the paper with that ac-
curacy which made the outlaw uncom-
fortable-as was afterwards learned.
The Tap at the Door
On the night above mentioned light
rain was falling and it was as dark as
Egypt beyond the rays of the electric
lights, which were few and far between
at that time. l heard a tap at the lit
lie door of my den upstairs, and on
turning saw two men directly facing me.
Having served on both the day and night
shifts | was fully acquainted with the
demarkation between the two classes
which is very plain when one comes in
constant contact with these people. |

did not belong to either class. In TACT,

of an important news item; that we had
