The fellow who stole 9280.000 worth of gold from a California smelter explains that he wanted the money to' enable him to Invent a flying machine. It would probably have done him more good if he had invented his flying machine first. . Compositors have something to be thankful for.

The skeleton spectre of famine again stalks abroad in parts of Russia and of Asia. Again the east will cry out to the west to give bread to millions of starving mouths. Even with all the progress of modern civilization, hunger set ms to torment as vast multitudes as in the days of the Caesars. Time* are sadly out of Joint in brand regions of the earth.

He returned to Chicago in 1846. His grave lies In Lincoln Park, not far from the Lincoln statute.

CHARTER V. Uncle Remy carried me into the library, aud laid me down on a sofa covered with a fur rug. The squire stood erect before tbe carved oak mantelpiece.

"Now,.Remy, I want you to tell ma at are, clearly and without equivocation, hat you Intend to do." “My good friend, aa soon aa this moirntoua interview U over, I intend to o to bed." "Without equivocation." said the squlr*. In a muffled growl like distant thunder. “Explain yourself mor* clearly, Victor, I beg. What do you mean?" "You perfectly know my meaning.

It was badly battered, but be patched and furbished It up to an appearance of respectability, and spread It on a bush top In a conspii- . nous spot 10 feet above the ground, arranging tbe wings with as close a resemblance to life as possible.

This sent the others soaring away in alarm, but In a few moments they were back again, and before the day waa over the naturalist's ingenuity was rewarded by the capture of half a dozen perfect specimens. Which afterward became the property of various scientific museums. Since then this has been the recognized method of taking that species of insect.

which haunted the the forest One day ss a band of half

armed with blowguns. gow spears, one of whom offered to supply the collector with a number of the desired Insects at a price. An offer of 25 cents a specimen represented opulence to tbe native, who returned on the following evening with six of the butterflies—all perfect or nearly so. How the Indian could b the aby and delicate insect, whlhc he himself with all the Imple- - menu of the chase could not capture, waa a problem to tbe traveler. Not until he was about to legve would the native explain. His method was very simple, he said, and pointed to his blowgun. a weapon with which these people are marvelously accurate and deadly marksmen, even killing big giroc with darts blown from them. He had “marked down" his butterfly, waited for it to alight and then shot a pellet to the leaf upon which It -was ' poising.
