long training an expert in his line., He was identified with a number of interesting cases but perhaps E, the greatest single achievement of his career was his apprehension of the multi H. H. Holmes, who was hanged in Moyamensing prison,
 Philadelphia, May ', 1896. This
 is one of the most notable cases in the crimnal annals of the United States. It grew out of policy for $1O, 900 issued by the Fidelity Mutual on the life of Benjamin F.7Pitezel of Chicago. PitezeI was found dead on September 5, 1894, in house a in Philadelphia. The coroner's investi' gation indicated that death was due to an explosion while Pitezel was making a chemical experiment. and the Fidelity claim was paid. ."But certain circumstances in that con- nection aroused MT. Gary's suspicion.
 An investigation ensued which soon culminated in a chase for Holmes,
 the arch -conspirator in the swindle,
 that led over good portion of the United States and Canada before. he was finally arrested in Boston, Mass 3; not however until after he had murdered three of the Pitezel children, two in Indianapolis and one in Canada, to cover up his tracks and make good his escape Holmes by his own COZ: P /: fess ion made after his conviction in Philadelphia, had murdered large mum Der of people and had maintaiiled "castle'' in Chicago in which. he had disposed of number of his victims. Books have been written on this noted case, and much praise has been given the detectives who figured in it, but to W. B. >Garysis due the real credit for bringing this arch criminal to justice.

Tops and Gravitation.

A spinnin" top is kept from failing because of the speed with whi h it re- .olveS. Tine attraction of sravitatiOn is temporarily overcome by the cen tlifugal fer produ ell by the lotation of the top when it is spun. Ea Il part nf the top is subie to the same cen trifugal force as each other part at tn same distance from the axis of rota tion and to no greater force, so that there is no cause for the top being pulled in any particular direction by the force of gravity. As soon as the centrifugal force begins 70 lessen be cause of lessening speed of rotation the attraction of gravity begins to wab ble. When the spinning motion dimin- ishes to such an extent that the attrac. tion of gravitation becomes greater than the centrifugal force the top falls to one side.

Indian Shrewdness,

Most people consider the American aborigines to have been easy victims of the sharper witted whites in matters of buying and selling. A book about "The Original John Jacob AstOr," how ever. declares that "the Indian was a great bargainer" and says Astor need ed all his resources to get the better of the Indians in an exchange of com modities. He is said to have been the first fur dealer to become really prof. cient in the languages of the Mohawk Seneca and Oneida tribes, and this ability to talk to the Indians i'll their own tongue gave him great prestige among them.

How Rochefort Hurled RidicuIe.


 Henri Rochefort even more than Hugo was the natural5 butt of those caricaturists devoted to the dest .nie; or Louis Napoleon. But none of the cartoons directed against him could hit deeper or leave a more lasting sting than his own sallies in the columns of the Lanterne. His favOrite method of attack was one which either made prosecution impossible or else made the prosecutor ridiculous. In the Lanterne one found apparently innocent squib> which ran something like this: 'ThC emperor sat yesterday for his portrait which Is being painted by M. -. M. - has won wide distinction as a painter of animals, and 1t is expected that the emperor's portrait will prove great success"

The November number of "The Fidelity Field Man. monthly publication issued by the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Go. of Phila. delphia, contained the above cut which was loaned us by the company, and the following obituary of W. E. Gary, who was a brother of O. B. and Levi Gary of Stafford Springs:
 "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death, on Tuesday, October 31st. of Inspector William E. Gary, in point of service the oldest employee of the Fidelity, and in point of faithfulness and loyalty the peer of any man who ever served this in stitution. William E Gary was born in Holland County, Conn.,, October 30, 1s4S, thus he had just passed his sixty -eigh birthday at the time of his death. Of these sixty eight years thirty eight were spent in the service of the Company, for William B. Gary was one of the four original Fidelity men. For some years before the organization of the Fidelity, back in the seventies, MT. Gary was associated in business with MT. Fouse, and there grew up between them an attachment and a friendship destined to continue throughout their lives. It is fine commentary on both men that l.. G. Fouse never lost faith in W. B. Gary and in turn never failed to get from him a quality of loyalty that IS not often met. His work as inspector took Mir Gary into every nook and corner of the United States and, constantly travelling through the field over long period of years, he had formed acquaintances in almost every town in the United States He was keen, cool, alert, close observer, by tempera- ment wall fitted for his work, and by
