Peck, of Chicago—has attained the highest altitude ever reached by man. She has accomplishec the feat of escending Mount Sorata, in Bolivia, whose height is estimated at from 21,000 to 25,000 feet, and is exceeded only by the unconquered peaks of the Himalayas. Some scientists belleve Sorata to be even higher than the Himaiaya peaks, and it is possible that when the measure- ments made by Miss Peek’s expedition are received man will be kiown to have reached the highest point in the world, and the honor of having accomplished this will be a woman's.

Gayet, a Frei tiquarian, make ing researches in the ancient soil of An- tinoe, recentiy made some s e dis- coveries. He unearthed the body of a certain Woman magician named My- rithes, with several of the implements of her trade, among them ¢ ic mirror and some cabalistic writ s. Later, coming in contact with a your man endowed with psychometric gi the antiquarian declares that marvel- ous results were attained The brain cells of this young man vi- brate not at 54 pulsations, like those of an ordinary man, but at 100, and if an object is given him and he presses it against his forehead, he can evoke scene at took place in the presence of that object. As a consequence he was able to call up one scene after another with the aid of the magic mirror, describing faithfully the country of Antinoe and the costumes of the remote period in which the magician lived, though he knew nothing of the place nor the epoch. He finally called up such pictures of blood and carnage that the agonized M. Gayet could endure no more. He re- gards the instance as one of the most Temarkable on record. LET HORSE SELECT WIFE. Hendricks County, Ind, Woman Makes Odd Charge in a Suit for Divorce, Mrs. Ralph E. Brown, of Hendricks county, Indiana, in a suit for divorce, charges that her husband let a horse select his wife. She and Mr. Brown were married in August last and sepa- rated in December. She says Mr, Brown was paying attention to a wom- an in Indianapolis and she herself lived In Clayton. On the day fixed for the wedding Brown got into his buggy un- flecided whether to marry her or the Indianapolis girl. He dropped the reins Over the dashboard and left the de- cision to the horse, which turned off at the Clayton road, thus deciding the de- fendant in his choice of a wife. Ster ne, The word “yacht” comes from the old Viking word “jagt,” meaning a chase, remarks the Ohio State Journal, and Sir | Thomas has decided that the Viking lan- guage has no word meaning to “catch ap.” \ “if poner DISCOVERY OF NEW METAL. May Be Used by Dental Profession to Advantage—lnventor Refuses to Divulge Seeret. | James H. Duffy, of E who claims to have ¢ t, of tempering cop- and aluminum, now an- a that he has invented a new dental metal, similar to that now used for casting molds for,rubver plates and | for crown and bridge work. For these purposes a metal is required that will both heat and cool quickly, and Duffy claims that his metal, while pos- sessing that quality, can also be pro- duced at about one-fourth the cost of the metal now in use. Local dentists have tried it and samples have been sent to dentists in Boston and New York, who report that it is entirely satisfactory. When Duffy announced last year that he had rediscovered the method of tem- pering copper he exhibited a hatchet, a razor and other implements, which had fine and hard edges and which he de- clared to be tempered copper, He then invented a nietal for journal bearings, which he claimed to be superior to Bab- bitt metal and only about one-tenth as expensive, This metal was tried in saw- milis at East Machias, and is said to have proved all that the inventor claimed for it Duffy says that a lumber mill owner in Minneapolis came to Machias for’ the purpose of purchasing this invention, but that he declined to sell, or even en- offer, He declares that none of his secrets ts for sale at any price, and, tertain as he has no capital with which to place the inventions on the market, peo- ple wonder, supposing all that he rims is true, what he expects to ac complish BRITAIN’S MONEY CHANGERS. During 1902 England Loaned to For- elan Countries and Colonies Over Six Billion Dollars, According to Great Britain's offictal { ical abstract, the total amount of British money loaned to India, the and foreign countries in 1902 8,800—a big row of figures, meaning {s not easily whose full grasped, They mean that the British people, numbering 40,000,000, have invested the to the extent of about $107 per cap- ita for every man, woman and child in the three islands, One-half of all British investments abroad are estimated to be in foreign ‘ountries. The {Interest paid yearly to the British people on their foreign and colonial investments is stated at $304,- 842,900, This fact explains why British imports so greatly exceed exports year after vear, and still the country increases its wealth. The foreign debtors make good the difference, DIVORCED AND REMARRIED.

Experiment at Porixmoath, utility of Plan to Keep Damaged Craft Afloat. Eng. Proves The old battleship Belle Isle was tor- pedoed at Portsmouth, England, the other day, and sank at her moorings. For the purposes of the experiment a section had been constructed on the port side of the Belle Isle representing the side of a modern battleship. This was filled with a substance, the invention of an American, which, it is claimed, would prevent a ship from sinking when the hull is penetrated below the water line. ‘When the vessel was struck a huge column of water enveloped her, she rolled heavily, and then settled down with a list to port. The Belle Isle will be raised for further experiments. It is said the damage done to the ship’s bottom was extensive. England's Natmeg Supply. The nutmeg supply of England and her colonies is almost entirely in the hands of Dutchmen. The bulk comes from the Island of Banda, and over 80 per cent. of the world’s crop from the Dutch West In- dies. The fruiting powers of the trees are remarkable. They start fruiting when about 12 years old, and yield regu- larly for 60 or 80 years. They carry blossoms and fruits without intermis- sion through every month in the year. The nutmeg, as we know it in this coun- try, is really the entire kernel of the fruit, and in color the latter resembles the peach. The kernels are dried for ex- port purposes, and in this process they lose their purple hue. Not Necessary.

Vasisogs, tomas A HUMAN OSTRICH] Man Who Has an Un- usual Appetite. Alabama Civil Service Commission Decides | Person Who Diets on Glass, Nails, Pebbles, Etc., Unfit to Hold Government Position, The civil service commission has de- cided Uthat a coastant diet of glass, lacks, brass watch chains, trogs, soap, collar buttons, wire naus, broxen china and belt buckles renders a man unfit to hold a government situation and ordered that the name of Lee W. Wright, better known as the “human ostiicn,” be dropped from the eligible list. The case was brough’ to the attention of the civil service commission by the complaint of R. D. Barker, postmaster at Mobile, Ala., who retused to recom- mend Wright, who headed the eligible list of the Mobile post office, for a place under him, and asked the commission how he was to avoid making the ap- pointment. The postmaster said he thought a man who had three square meals a day and carried around an assortment of the above mentioned articles for his own refreshment between breakfast and dinner and dinner and supper Was a crank, aad he didn’t want him around the office. The postmaster at Palmyra, Mo., told his colleague at Mobile how Wright had left his home in that town one day without his lunch and endeavored to saulisty the pangs of hunger at noontime with a handful of assorted brook peb- bles, tWo or three nails, a brass scarfpin and a small piece of wire fencing The postma whether it fencing that di but he was t n Violently with tion and ai all other remed tailed was placed on the operatir and the contents of his on re- moved. Lots of other things besides his lunch of pebbles, horseshoe nails, sgarf- pins and wire fencing were found, in- cluding a silver hunting case watch and 87 cents in small change.

To st« nese frauds, the United States will have to exercis the greatest vigilance through experis at the principal ports, such as Bordeaux, Rheims and Mayence. “The United States congress and the legislatures of the several states should enact such laws as will prevent the changing of labels or after importa- tion. The Sherman act partially safe- guards this point, but it needs some amendment to make it efficacious. JUDGE DEFINES INTOXICATION, Federal Official Holds That a Man Is Not “Drnonk” Until He Takes the “Third Degree.” The question as to what constitutes intoxication within the meaning of the law has just been passed upon by a judge of the United States circuit court in Vermont. The point arose in connec- tion with an insurance case, in which the company refused to pay the policy on the ground that the person inured , who had stated in his application that he was never intoxicated, had frequent- ly been seen in that condition. In an elaborate opinion the court defined three degrees of intoxication: a * “In the first degree the ideas are un- commonty vivacious, but the individ- ual perfectly retains the consciousness of his external condition, and, in fact, may be said to be in complete posses- sion of his senses. . “In the second degree the man has still the use of his senses, though they are remarkably enfeebled, but he is en- tirely beside himself, memory and judg- ment having abandoned him. “In the last stage,a man not only loses the possession of his reason, but his senses are so enfeebled that he is no longer conscious of his external re- lations.” On the basis of this classification the judge ruled that the man had never taken the “third degree” and could not have been fully intoxicated.
