MOB VISITS FULTON
JAIL, NEGRO HANGED.

At an early hour Sunday morn
ing a mob broke open the city
Jail at Fulton, and carried Law
renee Dempsey, a negro held
for the attempted murder of
Clarence Dublin, an Illinois Cen
fral Waterman on May 9, and
hanged him 10 a telephone ca
BILE about three feet from the jail
The mob went about their business
IN a quiet manner. No one has
been found who saw them do
their work. Night officer Wal
ter Shupe discovered at 3:15 a.
m. that he Jail had been broken
open and the negro gone. En-
trance was gained by taking a
four inch iron pipe about eight
feet long and battering the lock
off.
Coroner II. c. Barrett, Of
Hickman, County Judge Stair
and County Attorney J. w.
Roney held an inquest over the
body, the jury being composed of
Roy Sawyer, Henry Richmond,
Wess MeCuan, A. S. Harris, Geo.
Jones and f. @. Shoate. The fo,-
lowing verdict was rendered !:
Being advised from the evidence
do adJudge that said Lawrence
Dempsey came to his death by
being hanged by the neck by IN
known parties, cause of same be
ing unknown"
Dempsey was caught at Green
field, Tenn, Friday night and
brought to Fulton the same night
and was carried to Paducah and
identified by Dublin. Mr.. Dub
lin died Tuesday morning at the
Pad.cah hospital. Besides wife
he leaves four small children to
mourn his loss.
There is not a shadow of
doubt that this is the negro who
cut Dublin. When he attacked
Dublin he lost his hat, coat and
vest, and these We're sent to Green
field and II white people swore
that they belonged to tpe negro.
A negro who claimed to be Demp-
sey s brother-in-law called Chiei
of Police Eaker Saturday and
said he would testify that Delnp-
sey a. tackled Dublin and that
he saw him just after the act
was committed and Dempsey was
bare-headed and without coat OF
vest. When Dublin searched thu
negro he found peculiar shap
ed razor on him and when the
negro was caught it was foune
on him. Dublin found the negro
in a box car on May 8 and after
searching him turned him loose
AS he walked away the negro at

IS VERY THlNLY POPULATED
South America, With $4,000 Square
Miles Of Territory, Has Only
$4,000, 900 Inhabitants.

South America Is thinly populated
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves In 1894, made lit
tie effort to attract immigration OF
their own people and denied admission
TO peoples of other lands. The lands
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were Ilade to court
favorites. There was little opportu-
nifty for individual enterprise, even If
the continent had been open to enter
prising men,
1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule Of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immigra-
ton of the world. But revolutions and
epidemics decimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great land
holdings, which were just being brok-
en- up, prevented the close setting of
the country, so that even now South
America. with an area of 100000
square miles as against North Amer
ica's 3,559,999. has a population of
only about 500OO.0OO.
Yet she has millions of acres of soil
as rich as the world knows, and mines
whose richness passes belief, and wa
terways reaching to the heart of the
continent, and opportunities almost I'm

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally II Is Four4Times That Of
the Aerial, but This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 200-meter wave
lengths, 600-meter wave-lengths, Is,
000-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to a correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
"The length of an electric wave is
determined by wave-meter. The nat
ural wave-length Of an aerial Is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of note of a closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe, and the wave-length of the note
of tuning fork Is four times the
length of the box which Is resonant
with the note However, other con-
siderations make it difficult to measure
the wave-length by a rule. and the
wave-meter gives a more correct re
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

OYSTERS FORCED TO WORK
japanese Scientist conceives Idea ok
Teaching" 8ivsiyes to Pro-
ducc Peari1-

The Japanese conduct great oyster
farms where the bivalves are taught
to make pearls. II was Doctor Mkt
motto, well-known scientist. who
conceived the idea that oysters might
be educated and made TO work for man.
After many years Of costly expert
nrentation he discovered the method In
use today.
The farm has an area Of about so
square miles and the water varies In
depth from to Is fathoms. The farm
er selects the spots where the larvae
Of oysters are most numerous and then
he plants small rocks and stones
These are soon covered with oyster
spat- They are then removed and
placed in special beds, where they lie
undisturbed until the third year.
1t Is said that an oyster viii not pro-
duce a pearl unless II be frritated by
some foreign substance As soon as IL
feels this 1t proceeds to cover ft with
nacre, layer on layer, until after few
years It has made pearl When large
enough the oysters ars taken from
their beds and carefully opesed a tiny
speck Of some foreign substance Is in
troduced into their bodies, and they
are replaced in the sea By the end OF
from three to five years the oyster has
coated the foreign substance with
nacre and this has become a pearl
