NAP THAT LASTED 81 YEARS


There are. many cases on record of
people remaining in sleep~like trance
for several years, these frances being
often caused from injuries to the
head, but no one has had SO long a
sleep as woman named Caroline
Alison. who lives In the little island
Of Okuo. off the coast Of Sweden.
The sleeper Of Okuo was born In
1861; she was perfectly normal
child, and for the first fourteen years
Of her life she was strong and healthy.
She did not go to work till just before
her fourteenth birthday One day she
came home complaining of toothache
and went to bed. Soon afterwards
she fell into deep trance, which
lasted from 1878 until 1907. a period
Of 80 years.
Whilst in this state she did not
seem to see or hear, nor did she
show any trace Of feeling, for though
her arms were pricked with pins,
needles and other sharp instruments
she was not once observed to vince.
Only once or twice did she seem to
wake from her lethargy. On one oc-.
casion, in response to cry from her
mother, she moved her lips as If to

CHAMPION OF RAT-cATcHERs

j. Allison Hogg Ii the champion
pied Piper" OF the world. For %
years he has been catching rats and
has at last established himself as the
rat catcher without a peer He is
official rat catcher to the federal gov
eminent, and he keeps a government
warehouse In New York city free from
the pests
Hogg catches 10000 rats year. He
takes orders to clear ships of rats. as
well as residences, factories and no.
tells. Several hotels have given him
yearly contracts to keep their base
ments free from the long tailed TO
dents. When he goes to catch rats he
stops up most of the holes, turns his
ferrets loose and picks up the rats as
they dart out the holes. He uses a
long pair of pinchers, shaped some
thing like a pair Of scissors, and
thrusts the rats alive into gunny-
sack. AS long as the gunnysack hangs
free, without touching anything, the
rats will not try to escape. but If the
sack Is put on the floor the rats will
gnaw through and scatter to the four
winds. They have to feel something
secure under them before they will
try to gnaw through.
He sells many of the big, healthy
rats to experimental laboratories,
while the crippled ones he feeds to his
ferrets. He does not poison the rats
--he catches them alive, traps them
or shoots them. When he goes to rid
ship Of rats In one night he has to
take several assistants along with
him. An electric light flashed in a
rats face blinds him SO that Mr., Hogg

QUEER ISLE OF MAN LAWS

The Isle of Man presents many GU
rious features, none of which Ia more
curious than its laws. For instance,
the legislature is called the house OF
keys and was in other times a judi
cial body charged with the duty of In
terpreting the laws. Amy person so
bold as to SANDER this house Of keys
was liable not only to a fine In the
amount OF $50. but to the loss OF both
his ears.
Two deemsters were once appointed
to execute the laws. which before the
year 1417 were uncodified. and these
were known as breast laws, for the
reason that they were impaired to the
deemsters in secret, to be kept by
them within the secrecy OF their
own breasts as long as they chose, or
during their whole service, though
they were authorized to impart and ex-
plain to the populace as much Of these
special laws as should at any time
seem wise and expedient
Certain of the Manx laws. as set
down after the codification. are ex-
tremely quaint Here are two ex-
tracts from the Manx legal rulings:
If a man steal horse or an OK 1t
is no felony, for the offender cannot
hide them; but If he steal capon or
pig he shall be hanged"
In case OF theft, If 1t amounts to
the value OF six pence halfpenny 1t
shall be felony and death to the Of
fender: and under the value to be
whipped or set upon a wooden horse
which shall be provided for such Of
tenders"
The arms of the Isle of Man, which
though 1t may sound like an Irish bull
to say SO, are legs-three legs bent
at the knee and apparently kicking
outward from a common center in the
midst of shield-have provoked a
number OF jocular descriptions. Of
which the best declares that one leg
spurns Ireland, one kicks at Scotland.
and the third kneels to England.
On July Of every year the laws of
the Isle of Man are still read aloud to
the assembled people from the top of
Tynwald hill. This Is the most inter
esting and ahchaic ceremony observed
today in Europe.

TELLING TIME IN INDIA

Among the Hindus clocks are re-
garded as great curiosities, and often
half-a-dozen or more timepieces ara
found In the apartments of the veal
thy Hindustanees.
They are not used as timepieces,
but simply for ornament, since the
old-fashioned way of telling the hour
in India, by calculating the number
of bamboo lengths the sun has trav-.
eled above the horizon, is entirely sat
isfactory to the natives
1t is said that in the country police
stations in India, where the European
division Of the hours is observed, time
Is measured by placing in tub OF
water copper pot in which small
hole has been bored 1t is supposed
that it will take one hour for the
water to leak into the pot so as to
fill 1t and sink it. When the police
man sees thatsthe pot has disappeared
he strikes the hour on a bell-like gong.
II he is smoking or doing the copper
pot may have disappeared several
minutes before he discovers the fact
but the hour is when he strikes the
gong.

cANNoNs MADE OF WOOD

Wooden cannons have been used
successfully in recent revolutions In
Cuba, Hawaii and some South Ameri-
can countries.
The wood used In the construction
Of these crude weapons Is a very
tough variety, having twisted grain
that curls about the log In such way
that to split the timber with ordinary
means Is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected and a
piece of the log five feet or six feet
in diameter Is cut After the bark has
been removed and the log made per-
fectly round 1t is swung up on crude
truss and hole is burned into 1t from
one end. The log is wound with strips
Of raw-hide cut from the skin of a
steer. When the cannon is covered
with the strips of hide another layer
Is wound on, and this Is continued
until the weapon has increased sew
eral inches in diameter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draught, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding, which becomes
almost as strong as wire,
These crude cannon have been used
with success in number of instances.
and 1t is astonishing the number Of
times they may be fired before they
burst or become otherwise disabled.

DR.. Charles Campbell, OF San An
tonic, Tex, observing that bats were
the sworn enemies of mosquitoes,
which, it is common knowledge, inocu-
late man with malaria, had the idea
OF employing those curious flying
mammals against the dangerous In
sect; more especially as the two crea-
lures have liking for the same To-
calities. Making various tests, he
came to the conclusion that the mos
quito is the favorite food Of the bat,
and that each of the latter will &C
count daily for some 500 Of the for
mer. So came the idea that bats
should be encouraged In malarial dis
tricts, and special experimental
shelter was built on the edge of Mitch
ellis lake, a large pool of stagnant wa
ter, ten miles from San Antonio. This
shelter is of a form and size calculated
not on,y to resist the wind, but, what
is more important, to protect the bats
from their natural enemies At the
end of four months, hundreds of bats
had taken possession of 1t; and 1t was
estimated that this year 1t accommo-
dated half million OF the creatures.

 large shipments have been made. The pricipal mine in Saucer basin is the Cliff, which has been one of the heav- fest producers in the history of the industry. Much high-grade ore has been mined from pockets of vugs. but a large quantity of low-grade ore Is left in the mine. In one place this de- posit is 14 ft. wide. On the north side of East Paradox valley are the Jacobs and McKeeveh claims from which t3 tons was recently shipped. which con. tanied 3.34c, U3 OS and 1866 v2 O5. The main camp of the General Vana- dium Co. is on the south side of East Paradox valley. The company has mined nearly all of the high. grade ore, but there is a large quantity of low-grade ore in place in the mine and 1 on the dumps. Nearby is the Joe ! Dandy claim, until recently a heavy 1 producer. The American Rare Metals ] Co.,, of Denver. has large deposits of rather low-grade ore in the Mcintyre district. where its plant Is situated.
