The windows and floors of the Jewish houses were wide open, giving a view of their wrecked interior, or were boarded up with rude wooden shutters. Everywhere could be seen weeping women hunting for traces of killed or wounded relatives. Christian Houses Were Marked. The principal stores were either dewrecks or mere mounds of ashes, among which the wretched prolast week rich but now reto poverty, were wandering bout weakly endeavoring to ascertain the extent of their misfortunes.

Another attack was made Sunday evening on the police station by armed revolutionists, who occupied a house nearby.

When tlie corresponda ed there the grass plot out side hospital was covered with mang corpses, arranged in two long rows, awaiting burial. The wooden walk from the gate to the door over which the bodies were carried was stained with blood. The dead and wounded were still arriving. Many of them had been lying untouched in the streets for two days. Only the most severely wounded were taken inside the hospital. The bodies of some of these were frightfully bruised, broken and manpled.

St Petersburg, June 19.-Horrible details have been sent out by the COrrespondent of the Bourse Gazette, wh arrived in Bialystok in company with Deputy Stchepkin on Saturday, and who managed to send his story by a messenger Sunday afternoon. The cor-

respondent, who accompanied Stchepdirectly to the hospital, esby a corporal's guard, says he was utterly unnerved by the sights he witnessed there. "Merely saying that the corpses were mutilated." the corwrites, "fails to describe the awful facts. The faces of the dead have lost all human semblance, and the corpses simply are crushed masses of flesh and bone soaking in blood. "It is impossible to conceive of such bestiality.

"I am told that soldiers entered the apartments of the Lapidus brothers, which were crowded with people who had fled from the streets for safety, and ordered the Christians to separate themselves from the Jews. A Chrisstudent named Dikar protested, and was killed on the spot. Then all of the Jews were shot."

He briefly discussed the term "stand-patter," saying Senator Hanna first employed it in its political significance in 1902, but he argued that Hanna did not mean by that that the tariff should never be revised. "I have recognized," Secretary Shaw said, "that there are some inequalities in the prestariff law. If I could do it in a night, I would make a number of changes." But he said that the only safe time to revise the tariff would be at a special session of congress called immediately after an inauguration. British Yacht Wins the Race.

Indiana THE MAGNETIC COMPASS. First Used on European Vessels In the Twelfth Century. Some Asian people, perhaps the Chi nese, discovered many centuries ago that a kind of iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We call this ore mag netic ore, or, in more common lanlodestone, and it is very widely distributed, especially in the older crystalline rocks. It was found that if a bit of lodestone were placed in water upon a piece of cork or straw braid it would turn till the axis of the stone as sumed a north and south position. A phenomenon of magnetism had been discovered by means of an ore that is peculiarly susceptible to magnetic inIt is an open question whether the Chinese utilized the directive power of the lodestone, but it is certain that the first rude compass was not used or European vessels before the twelfth century of our era. By that time the true magnetic compass had been evolv ed through the discovery that if an iron or steel needle were stroked on a lodestone it would receive the attracand directive power of this ore. With this appliance placed at the service of navigation the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon dared to venture even out of sight of land. A new impetus was gradually given to cartography, for now the true direc tions of the coast lines might be chartwith some approach to accuracy. It was the happy fortune of Italian sail ors to make the surprisingly excellent surveys of the directions and lengths of the Black sea and Mediterranean coasts and along the Atlantic to British waters that have come down to us in the so called Portulan maps.-Cyrus C. Adams in Harper's. Twins. Talking to a physician about twins and commenting upon the marvelous likeness they sometimes bear to one another, he gave an interesting fact rethem. "You can always dis tinguish one from the other," said he, "no matter how great the resemblance, for the elder invariably has the broader face. Notice twins hereafter, and you can say with certainty that the nar rower faced one is the younger of the two. I have no authority for saying that fewer male than female twins are born, but I am of the opinion that the couple are more frequently girls or girl and boy than boys. Twin brothers are few and far between." Odd. Hicks-What do you think of that1 university making Dumley a doctor of laws? Wicks-Oh, well, the universities do very crazy things sometimes. Hicks-Yes, and yet they are always supposed to be in possession of their faculties.-Catholic Standard and Times.
