But there is scarcely a dolt who could not give him points and has not dreamed centuries in seconds. The E RECALLS VENEZUELAN REPRE- § SENTATIVE AT WASHINGTON TR b dream, it may be stated, comes in the few seconds before the awakening.| and has no relation to time or space. This is clear enough to the man who has ever been placed under an anaes- thetic for a short while and found time and space eliminated. As an experiment this writer was placed under a whiff of chloroform by a doctor. Absolute unconsciousness pupervened, then a return of con- sciousness, the questions of the uni- verse, up through layers of conscious- ness, with always the feeling, “Now I have solved it,” and the “No” and the “Yes” alternating through centuries of thought, and then the quizzical face of the doctor, remembered after a mil- llor: years. “How long have you been under?” The experimenter struggled up and saw the doctor with his watch in hand. “Ten seconds,” the doctor said, and the dretmer had been out- side time for a time that has no meas- ure.—London Chronicle. A Great Artist Enraged. ‘Alma-Tadema has told a story of the fate of two unsuccessful pictures of his student days. One of them was re- turned unsold by the committee of the Brussels exhibition in 1859. The sub- ject was a house on fire, with people rescuing the victims. The artist’s fel- low students were asked into Alma- Tadema’s studio and were invited to Jump through the canvas, the owner of it leading the way by leaping head first through the oily flames. The other unsuccessful effort was a large sized square picture that came back again and again to its creator’s easel until at last it was cut out of its frame and given to an old woman to use as a table cover. The picture was praised by at least one person who appreciated its excel- lence, so Alma-Tadema used to de- clare, for the old woman was wont to remark that it was much better than those common oilcloth things that al- ‘ways let the water through, as the pic- ture of Alma-Tadema’s making was a good thick one, with plenty of paint on it.—Minneapolis Journal. The Supposed Life on Mars. Not only do the observations we have scanned lead us to the conclusion that Mars at this moment is inhabited, but they land us at the further one that these denizens are of an order whose acquaintance was worth the making. Whether we ever shall come to con- ‘verse with them in any more instant ‘way is a question upon which science at present has no data to decide. More important to us is the fact that they exist, made all the more interesting by their precedence of us in the path of evolution. Their presence certainly ousts us from any unique or self cen- tered position in the solar system, but 80 with the world did the Copernican system the Ptolemaic, and the world survived this deposing change. So may man. To all who have a cosmo- planetary breadth of view it cannot but be pregnant to contemplate extra mundane life and to realize that we have warrant for believing that such life now inbabits the planet Mars.— Professor Lowell in Century, i A Big Snowfall. IThe heaviest fall of snow that ever took place in England occurred in 1615. The snow commenced falling on the 16th of January, 1615, and continued every day until the 12th of March fol- lowing. It covered the earth to such a depth that passengers, both horse and foot, passed over gates, hedges and walls, which had been obliterated by the white sheet. On the 12th of March it began to decrease and so by little and little consumed and wasted away Hll the 28th of May. A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in 1620, the snow falling thirteen days and nights with little or no intermis- sion. One of the heaviest falls on a single day occurred on the 21st of February, 1762, the snow in some places being from ten to twelve feet deep. He Kept Count. ‘A famous animal trainer was talking to a reporter in New York. He said: “The secret of animal training is gen- tleness. Nothing sudden or brusque must be done. An unexpected caress may anger an animal more than a kick in the ribs. Sudden, brusque, unex- pected things never go, no matter how well they are meant. Once I was showing in Scotland. We trainers sup- ped one night with a Scotch admirer. The old man was the soul of hospital- ity, but I admit I was rather startled when he leaned toward me and said: “‘Stick in, man Conklin, stick- in. i¥er frien’ Coot’s twa muffins aheid o’ yern Translated. “Habiliments For Infants” is a sign in a clothing store in Boston.

He arrived as the flames leaped over to the tower of the Culver line station of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system and ordered into service the new high pressure system using mains. The system worked perfectly and greatly aided flames. Water was thrown on nearby buildings and Dreamland and Luna park were deluged to prevent further spread of the flames. The fire was under control in two hours and a big force of police is guarding the ruins from looters. Twenty-five thousand persons watched the fire rapidly de- vour the frame structures and saw many guests in scanty attjre leap from hotel windows.

St. Paul, July 10.—George Belmont, {ropriswr of a saloon, was sh6t and illed in a resort conductéd by Mar- garet White. The White, woman fg said to have doné the shooting, but whether or not it was intentional is a question that the police are endeavor- Ing to solve, According to the story told by the woman at police headquarters, where she is confined with two other inmates of the house, the act was not pre- meditated, although she admits that she was alone in the room with Bel- mont at the time of the shooting. Her version of the affair is that Bel- mont came to her place in an intoxi- cated condition and after conversing for a while in the bedroom of the woman observed a revolver lying on her dresser. He picked up the fire- arm and began toying with it, although the woman cautioned him to be care- ful, for the reason that the weapoh was loaded. The woman tells the po- lice in a very dramatic manner that Belmont paid little heed to her warn- Ing and she endeavored to wrest the weapon from him. In the struggle that followed between the two the gun was discharged and Belmont Wwas killed. The theory the police are working upon is that the shootind came as the climax to a passionate quarrel between _the man and woman. Inaians Defy Laws.
