PRINCESS SHOT BY A MOTH Accused Husband Saved by Remarksbio Evidence Introduced In Italian Court. There seems to be no good reason 1 j for doubting the story that set fr. ■■ a Neapolitan prince accused of murder l lt was the locally notorious case of the Princess Caravella, at Naples, iu Italy. After giving a dinner party she > proceeded to her room to snatch a lew j minutes of rest in order to refresh her- * self for a dance. She was discovered lying dead on 1 her bed, with a pistol wound in her I heart. Her husband, Prince Caravella. had been noted for his jealous disposition; and, as it was ceriain that no , stranger could possibly have been In the princess’ room, suspicion pointed to him and he was arrested. The pistol was found lying near the murdered woman, which in itself was favorable to the prince, for no murderer, unless he courted detection, would thus leave : the weapon to be discovered. In spite ■ of this, it was probable that things . would have gone hard with the accused but for the shrewdnesss of a ! Naples police officer. This man carei fully examined the bedchamber and, lying on the floor by the bedside, he ; found one of those large moths that j abound in Italy. A lighted candle had ■ stood on a table by the bed, and the : ■ moth’s wings bore evident marks of having been badly singed against the 1 flame. What was more Important still, some ; of the powdery dust from the moth's ! wings was found on the trigger of the ' ' pistol, and the pistol had lain in such i t position that It covered the princess’ 1 heart. It was clear, argued this astute ietectlve, that the moth had burned its - wings and had fallen on the table j I where, writhing in agonies, its wings j ; had struck the trigger of the pistol. ! j end the pistol had been thus fired. It was noted that the trigger worked with exceptional ease. It should be remarked that these Italian moths are larger than any with I which we are familiar in Canada. On | j this evidence the prince was acquitj ted. „ ■ ENGINEER GETS RECORD FEE Englishman to Receive $400,000 for Superintending Construction of Ottawa (Canada) Water Works. — “Doos engineering pay?" Is frequently asked by the prospective ata- | dent —the young fellow just starting | ‘ nut to make a name and a fortune for i himself In some profession. There are eminent engineers in the United States who have received fabulous salaries for their services in consultation. but the largest recent figure . reached goes to an English engineer. Sir Alexander R. Binnie el London. Sir Alexander Is to receive a fee of $400,000 to take charge of the con- : structlon of the water supply system of Ottawa, Canada. It will require • several years to complete this under- ■ taking, and Sir Alexander is to pay j at least one visit to the works him- ! self each season. He lias contracted | to furnish the surveying corps and \ the engineers to direct every branch • of the work. Thus he merely transfers his office from London. In the case of New York's gigantic project . just being pushed to completion, the primary engineering work and the final supervision was handled by the city's staff. "For the Honor of the Service.” One of the crew ot.the American* battleship Ohio, recently in harbor at I Marseilles, made friends one night' ' with a French tirailleur from Algeria, i , who picked his pockets of jCJO The ; 1 American lodged a complaint and th- ! I tirailleur was arretted. He was tormally Identified by the An>rri< a:., who however, when he discovered that 'he robber was a soldier, wished to withdraw his charge "for the honor of the service.'' suggesting as a suitable sfternstlvr that rhe magistrate should allow h*m to settle the matter ' man j to man'' out of court with bare fists or , regulat lon gloves, as his worship -should please, fits worship did not pieasz that the case should be settled In this rough-and-ready manner. ' snd although the American sailor has | withdrawn his charge, the tirailleur Is still held at the disposal of the authorities. Boston's New Custom House. Unique among public buildlugs in America is the new custom house which Is being erected In Boston It is to be a tower. 505 feet high, and in j design is virtually a monument to crown the pyramidal sky 11ns of ths ) city. The old pyramidal shape of the * city, with the golden Jonu- of the I Slate bouse at Its apex, has b<- r. de- ) strayed by the building of sky»crap- j I ers. Boston's building laws now forj bld the erection of private structures more than 125 feet high, and the new custom house Is designed to rise above its surroundings and form the domlasting feature m any view of the city.— Popular Mechanics.

DEFIES EFFORTS OF CAMERA Speed of Bullet on Its Mission of Death, Makes Photographing an Impossibility. If a photograph of a speeding bullet oould be taken the print would probably show a space like a body of water ! marked by what looked like speeding water bugs, each leaving a ripple in ts wake. Photographs of projectiles nave been snapped in time of peace, ' but it is doubtful if the camera ever ; naught one us it eped on its mission of jeath A bullet speeding at the rate ! jf 3,000 feet a second, which is more han 2,000 miles an hour, makes a <reat disturbance in the atmosphere ind creates air waves, which of course ’ ire invisible to the baked eye. If you draw u stick through the water it causes little eddies and waves :o trail bebind iL The faster you draw ! the stick the more waves and the wider the angle will It leave. The slower the stick is t’rawn the fewer ; waves. Just so the bullet, if it is | traveling slowly no waves can be ' photographed, as apparently there are ; rone. It is only objects traveling at a i terrific speed that create any appreciable air waves. Photographs of a bullet going at a ■ate of speed less than 1.200 feet a • i lecond show no air waves at all. Thia i s an interesting scientific discovery. !ut anything cutting through the air I it a greater rate than this disturbs the ' [ itmosphere to such great extent that I I ilr waves are formed and can be pho- i i ograpbed. •KILLER’WHALE NO MEAN FOE Diarisa of Captain Scott Tell Remarkable Story of Their Strengtn and Vindictiveness. — The whale is usually supposed to be I in innocuous animal, and not lightly would we assail a character for virile that has been well established. But I Captain Scott's diaries ehow that the | ‘killer*' whale is a veritable demon, Imd an intelligent demon at thaL He ! tells us that uu one occasion the ship's I photographer. Ponting, and two dogs .' were on an Ice Hoe w hen they were atacted i»y six or seven whales. The ! method of assault uas ingenious. The | inimals swam under the ice and - -mashed it by blown from their bodies ! with the evident intention of shaking \ heir victims into th« »»u>r. ‘ Then it ' was clear that the whales shared our * istonisiimcnt, for one after another their huge, hideous heads shot vertialiy into the air through the cracks which they had made. As they reared them to a height of six or eight feet lit was possible to see their tawny tend markings, their email, glistening | ?yes, and their terrible array of teeth —by far the largoat and the most ter- < rifytng in the world. There cannot be I a doubt that they looked up to see what bad totf.pe.sed ’• Ponting Mn l his j logs. . . . That they could display ! inch deliberate cunning, that .hey j were able io break ice of such thick<ncss (at least two and a halt feet) and I that they could act In unison were a j revelation to us.” An Education From a Nickel. 1 A young girl who lived in Mississlp- ‘ pi asked her brother to give her the I money to go to college. He told her he j {could net afford it, and tossing her ai nick< I, added, ''Unless you can go cn I that.” The plucky girl took the fivocent psi e and bought some calico, from which she made a bonnet that she sold for 25 cents. With this money she i bought more calico, and made more j bonnets. After she had made several I dollars in this way, she determined to I ( raise potatoes. She did all the work In the field except the plowing. The venture was a success, and she had ! enough money to start at school. She I ' did not stop work, however, and It ts I not surprising that a girl of so much 1 determination was able to borrow I enough money to supplement what she | made. She was graduated with honor from > the state college for women, attended : a medical school, still earning all her * expenses, got her degree, and is now a successful practicing physician in a largo town in the south, and it all began with a nickel!—Youth's Companion. Legal Terms Bother Her. Legal terms are al times likely to bother the best of us, an no wonder that occasionally they stump some of the negro citizens that find their way into the courts. The other day Mamie Rose of Vin3«nt Alley was up before Justice Golden In the Northwestern police station charged with assaulting Alice Cooper. ! a neighbor. The facte In the case had been threshed out when Justice Golden an- | nnuueed that ho would hold the case i sub-curia.
