King Michael to the Rescue.
In Grctzhoffen capital matters had
gone i'll enough this day. The popu.
lace was on edge with excitement
over the mysterious murder.
The project of police was furious
over the results Of the days work. He
knew that for some time he had been
under the kings suspicion fol. la1ness
in the administration Of his ONCE and
felt that it was time to make some
example, to produce some proof Of his
own vigilance.
"You. Ansclm. you Du Brock" he
ordered two Of his most trusted men
go out-hnd these people-we must
have them in our own hands. Turn
night into day and day into night un.
til you have them once more. The
girl is with them-be sure Of that
find her and you will find Roleau. the
answer to all these riddles"
These members Of his stah, thus ad-
jured, made their way out, none too
happy at the task assigned them, for
they knew well enough that now they
were to. cope with active brains and

cape Of the accused had been made by

Many May Be Known to the Readers,
While Others Have A Flavor
That Is New.

Hypnotizlng a men Is a trick known
to most country boys. 1t is an old
experiment, first described by the Je-
suit Father Athanasius klrcher. who
laid a hen on the table, held 1t firmly
for a little while, and drew a chalk
line in front Of its eyes, with the re-
suit that 1t remained as If in catalepsy.
In India 1t Is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remnin SO
for a considerable time, either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and
turned suddenly upside down goes into
n trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than Others.
If you pick UP n crab and wave it
in the air 1t becomes immObile, a fe-
male bending her legs over her abdo-
men, a male sticking them out almost
straight. The same Is true Of the
fresh-water crayfsll, only this reslsts
for a much, longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-cOm-
monty known US death feigning"-is
common, and, according to Prof. Err
lest Mangold, the learned naturalist.
il often n means Of saving the life
OF the insect.
