Relatives of Fabian Streiff, the mod
ern rip Van Winkle," who returned
to his boyhood home at New Glarus a
few weeks ago after an absence of "a
years, have filed suit in the Whitside
county, ILL.,, circuit court asking $25,
900 in wages of Henry Reedy, the
farmer whom he had served during
all the years Of his absence.
One Sunday morning in 1881, Fab
ian Streiff, then young man of 20
years of age, announced he was going
into the woods near New Glarus to
hunt wolves, a pastime which he had
frequently engaged in in the past.
Night fell and he failed to return, but
the members of his family thought lit
tile of this, believing that he had struck
a promising trail and was determined
to track his quarry to its den, and
that he would return home some time
the following day. But day succeed
ed day and he did not return. Then
search party was organized in the
fear that he had met with mishap.
But no trace of the missing man was
found, although the woods surround
ing New Glarus for a radius Of many
miles, were thoroughly searched. 1t
was finally decided the man had fall
len a victim of the wolves he had so
often hunted, and that they had left
not even a bone by which he could be
identified.
About a month ago a feeble and
aged man applied for lodging with a
farmer near Stockton, Ill. He told

DIAMONDS IN SUGAR
We Know They Are There Becaus Sci
ence Has Extracted Them

Although at first thought the state

verted into diamonds.

ton of the diamond, but only the car.
bon that it contains. Sugar consists of
carbon, united with oxygen ad hydro
gen.
1t is an easy matter to separate out
the carbon, and in certain experiments
for the production of diamonds this su-
gar carbon has been employed.
The diamonds so produced were, of
course, very small and destitute of
commercial value, but still they were
real diamonds, and the chemical re-
suit achieved would be no greater in
trinsically if they were as big as the
Cullinan.
Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an improvement in the pro.
cess of manufacturing diamonds may be
effected whereby the necessity of dis
solving the carbon in molten iron may
be dispensed with, and the required
combination of great pressure with
great heat may be brought about by
some such operations as squeezing the
carbon between redhot metal plates.

MOISTURE AND DUST
Why This Rain Combination in the Air
Shows a Red Sun

An old weather proverb runs, GA
red sun has water IN his eye," and the
condition which gave rise to it is ex-
planned by Professor w. 7. Humphreys,
of the United States Weather Bureau,
IN discussion of some useful weather
proverbs.
The condition that most favors a red
sun is great quantity of~'dust-es-
'peeially smoke particles-in a damp
atmosphere. Smoke alone in sufficient
quantity will produce this effect, but
it is intensified by the presence of
moisture.
The blue and other short wave
length colors of sunlight are both scat
tered and absorbed to greater extent
by given amount of dust or other sub
stance, such as water vapor, than is
the red, and this effect becomes more
pronounced as the particles coalesce.
Hence when the atmosphere is heav
lily charged with dust particles that
have become moisture laden we see the
sun as fiery ball.
1t has been known that this dust has
much to do with rainfall, since it was
proved by the physicist Aitken years
ago that cloud particles and, therefore
rain will not under ordinary conditions
form in perfectly dust free atmos
phere, but will readily form about dust
notes of any kind in an atmosphere
that is sufficiently damp. A red sun
therefore, commonly indicates the
presence of both of the essential rain
elements-that is, dust and moisture

TRAINED FOR THE GAME
He Played His Part Well and Won
When His Chance Came

Senator Harry Lane, who is also an
M. D., was once superintendent of the
Oregon State insane asylum One day
he was telling a group of his colleagues
some Of his experiences while there. He
said when he took the job he ordered
the walls around the institution torn
down, arguing that if any real lunatics
escaped they would be detected and
returned, but that if any escaped who
could not be detected they did not
belong there anyway.
"A patient came along one day.
he said, land began performance
that was new to all of us. The inmates
of the asylum were turned out on the
big lawn each morning for exercise.
Well, the man l was talking about i'm
mediately began to run on dog trot
from one end of the building to the
other. The patients having specialties
of their own didn t notice him.
Back and forth he went, not only
on the first morning, but on every
morning for months and months. He
wore a path along the side of the asy-
lum. We couldn U help but admire his
perseverance. He certainly stuck to
his job. But one day Mr.. Man, the
moment he was let out, wriggled away
from the crowd and started across the
fields. Guards followed in pursuit.
Trained for months, and that had been
his game all along, he rapidly made
monkeys of the guards. He d let them
get almost within reaching distance and
then he would sprint. SO he vanished,
and we never heard of him again. -

The Rack. Pace and Amble

The rack is g gait of the horse be-
tween trot and gallop or canter,
in which the fore feet move as in a
slow gallop, while the hind feet move
as in trot or pace. 1t is usually an
artificial gait, but is sometimes hered-
itary or natural. There is much con-
fusion of terms in respect to this gait,
due to the fact that the gait itself is
somewhat varied, according as the
racker carries the one or the other fore
foot foremost in the galloping motion
of the fore feet; that many confound
the rack with the pace, the words
often being used anonymously. and
that many have mistaken the use Of the
words "pace" and Gamble" There is
abundant evidence that the American
pace of to-day is the amble of Euro
peans of the last century and earlier.
The motion of the hind feet is the
same in the trot, the pace and the rack.
In the trot the diagonal hind and fore
feet move nearly simultaneously. In
the pace OF amble the hind and fore
feet of the same side move nearly si-
multaneously- Globe.

Got in Her Answer

"Maria," said Mr.. Jollyboy very
solemnly, thinking to take a rise out of
the wife of his bosom, 81 heard of a
dreadful operation which was UNDER
taken by girl. She seemed in danger
of losing her sight, and the clever oph
thalmic surgeon who operated on her
found
"Yes!" Breathlessly interposed Mrs.
Jolly boy. "Found what7'
"That the poor girl had young
man in her eye!" rejoined hubby, with
a chuckle.
Silence reigned supreme for the
space of five minutes, at the end Of
which time Mrs. Jollyboy said quietly:
"Well, of course, it. would all de-
pend on what kind of young man it
was, as there are many men she would
have been able to see through And,
with a serene smile, Mrs. j. resumed
her knitting.--London Express.

Underneath the Paint

As the title indicates, this three

engrossing and analytical insight into
the lives of those who impersonate
characters different from their own. IT

showing at the Photoplay to-day that
hearts are sometimes breaking beneath
the eare-free smiles they dissimulate.
