Kataral Iliatorr of tha C.reeka ad Itomaai. The knowledge cf animals and their habits which existed anions the ancient Greeks and Iiomans was most fantastic. Anions other snakes described in the ancient natural histories, for example, Was the basilisk, which Pliny called the "king of serponts." According to the description. It was six feet long, wore a white crest on Its head and had a skin spotted with white. Sucli was the abundance of its venom, according to these reports, that it made the body shine all over. The air was poiaoned where this vile reptile passed, and great plant were envenomed with Its subtle and luminous fluid, while the birdx in turn fell before the odor exhaled by the trees. But this monster was an easy prey to the weasel. The dragon was the largest of serpents and Inhabited especially Ethiopia and Egypt, "When he flew out of his cavern he furrowed the air with such violence that It gleamed with fire. His mouth was small, and it was not the wounds which It inflicted which made him so formidable, but the strangling power of hi3 tail, which was capable of destroying even elephants. It is interesting to notice that the mythical dragon was already evolving toward the boa constrictor. The real sirerf lived hi Arabia and "was a sort of white wrpent which ran so marvclously (hat most men say it flew." Most of the facts which are recorded concerning birds are more accurate, for the sport of falconry only made men observers of their habits. Still there are a few strange myths concernIns the eagle. He was said to seize his young in bis talons and to make them flx their ejes on the burning rays of the sun. Those alone that could gaze without flinching were kept and nourished as worthy of life. "This Is not cruelty," says the simple writer, "but Judgment." The eagle had the power of renewing youth. Mounting higher and higher till his plumes were burned by the sun, ho fell into a fountain, where he bathed three times and was thoroughly rejuvenated. The habits of the ostrich, an old book said, were regulated by a star named Virgil. When the star began to rise the astute bird laid its eggs, covered them with sand and loft their hatching to the sun. Another remarkable thing wag the Influence which the chanticleer exercised over the king of beasts. His shrill crow put him in full flight even Pliny says so but to do this his plumage had to be pure white. It would not be doing justice to the middle ages if the account of the unicorn was withheld. It was the size of a horse, though Its legs were shorter, and it hide had generally a tanned color. There were three kinds. The inagniflcent white unicorn had a purple head and blue eyes. The born was a cubit in length, white In the lower part, ebony in the middle and red at the end. It had the head of a stag and the tail of a boar. The eglisserion was like a gigantic deer and had a very sharp horn. The monooeros was like an ox. The ordinary unicorn of the middle ages had a horn three feet In length and so sharp and hard that nothing could resist It. When he prepared to fight the elephant, the animal he hated most, of all, he sharpened his horn against a stone and when the day of battle came dealt the enemy a fatal blow in the paunch. This noble animal fell an easy prey to the fascinations o Innocence and virtue. In India, especially among the dwellers of theGanges, when it was desired to tame a unicorn a young and virtuous girl was chosen and led to hij cave. The animal at once appeared and did homage to the damsel and was easily caught and tamed by the engaging wiles of the maiden. No Use to Him. "That man always knows his mind."

The police maintain in that the Lee brothers are trying to make out a murder case that they may not lose the insurance on their father's life which is uncollecticable if he committed suicide. Charles E. Peterson and C. Wolf, owners of a carage on Evanston Avenue, and James, Tony and Emil Marz, who run a carriage on the lake front, were witnesses at the inquest. The attorneys for the Lee brothers centered their questions on the whereaboute on the night of the elder Lees death of an automobile, No. 2282, owned by Attorney John E. Crawford, and kept at the Peterson-Wolf garage. The Marz brothers testified ,that they were playing cards on the night Lee was killed; were not in an automobile at all that that evening and that the Crawford machine was not kept at their establishment. Wolf said he was out of town the night Lee was killed and Peterson swore that, to the best of his recillectlon, the Crawford automobile has not been out of the garage In three months. Crawford was subpoenaed but will not testify until tomorrow. He could not be found today but is said to hava corroborated Petersons statement that his automobile 3is long been unused. The anonymous letters are signed C. S. B. M. The writer says she would probably lose her position as a stenographer If her name appeared in connection with the case but that she knew Lee and saw him struck by the auto, the number and appearance of which she described. "The young man got out and put him into the automobile," continued the writer, "and drove away to the lake. The man is dark complexioned, smooth faced, and a 1 -other of the man who owns the automobile barn called the Edgewatcr, on Evanston and Winona Avenues." Denatured Alcohol. It is very misleading to base elaborate arguments on German experience with denatured alcohol. The conditions ! are by no means similar. Germany has no natural supply of gasoline and kerosene as have we. Germany depends upon alcohol; we do not. There are many problems to be met in this matter. Iu this work the farmer, distiller and machinists must co-operate. The advantages from the increased use of alcohol for industrial purposes will be manifold, and if the farmer keeps awake he will get his share of them. FarmlD".

FOR ANARCHISTS Russian Revolutionists Are Fast Making Chicago Their Headquarters. CZAR'S SPIES ARE AT WORK GOING ABOUT THEIR DUTIES SO CAUTIOUSLY THAT EVEN THE POLICE ARE UNAWARE OF THEM. Publishers Press. Chicago. Dec. 26. Chicago is be lieved at the Russian consulate tt. be the center of a revolutionist plot for ! an anti-smverment UDrisinK In the Czar,s realm on a scale larger than any in the past Kot3,-.JTlc w imown n be afiV.iatA. h. U'-''' - AlU iiv a xrf w- - ed with the revolutionary movement i in their own country, say the city is swarmine with Nicholas spies who are conducting their campaign so quietly, however, that the local police know nothing, at least oflScially of their presence. To the dangerous strength of the conspiracy said to exist here is at tributed the Russian government move for the extradition of Gregori Gerschunin on a charge of complicity in the murders of ministers Slpia guine and Bogolypoff In 1903. The Russian revolutionary leaders here, some of whom hold high social positions and wield much influence. are preparing to resist to the utmost any attempt by the Czar to secure Gerschunin's surrender by the Unit ed States It was when Gerschunin landed in San Francisco, after his escape from Siberia in a sauerkkraut barrel, that Baron Von Schlippenback, Russian consul in Chicago. Issued a formal warning that Chicago is fast becom ing the center of Russian terrorist and nihilist plotting. Consular attaches are aulhoity for the assertion that thousands of dol lars have been raised in Chicago within a few weeks for arms, ammu nition and the bribing of Russian of ficials for the prising schded jr next spring. Anna Strunsky Walling, the Rus sian writer, and her hus'yind, Win English Walling, have admittedly taken a prominent part in this agita tion and paved the way for Gerschun ins coming to the city. Gerschunixi is expected here January 5 and will address a mass meeting of his count rymen the following day. Baron Schlippenbach is now in Washington and it is said his purpose is mainly to plan with Ambassador Rosen a demand on Secretary ' of State Root for Gerschunins surrender and for the suppression of the revolu tionary junta in Chicago.

"That must be a nug get," remarked a jocular bystander, "I'll look," said the workman, and the next moment he had a lump of quartz thickly studded with gold In his hands. TLen the earth that had been thrown out in the making of (he drain was "cleaned up," as the miners say, and smaller gold specimens were secured. And now.

PUZZLES IN FIG URES

MANY UNSOLVED MYSTERIES IN THE WORLD OF NUMBERS. Little Tli In era , the Conditions of Which m Child Can Vadfrttaad, TboaaTh the (iresteat Miadi Cannot Master Mgflc Squares. Probing Into the secrets of nature is a passion with all men, only we select different lines of research. Men have spent long lives in such attempts as to turn the baser metals Into gold, to discover perpecal motion, to find a cure for certain malignant diseases, to navigate the air. Some great mysteries have after centuries of patient labor been completely solved, others are at ; present under investigation, while many have been demonstrated to be quite impossible of solution. Let us examine a few cases of no solved mysteries In the world of num bers little things the conditions of which a child can understand, though the greatest niind cannot master. Everybody has heard the remark, "It is as hard as squaring the circle," though many people have a very hazy notion of what it means. It Is this: If you have a circular piece of paper, how ara you to cut out another piece in the form of a square that shall contain nti. h rnWell, it can I - V. V a,w ajw Ui - v. a not be done wit'i exactitude, though we can get an answer near enough for all practical purposes, because it Is not possible to say iu exact numbers what is the proportion of the diameter to the circumference. But it is only in recent times that it has been proved to be impossible. Only cranks now waste their time In trying to solve this venerable puztle. Again, we can never measure exact ly in numbers the diagonal of a square. If you have a window pane exactly a foot on each side, there is the distance from corner to corner staring you In the face, yet you can never say in exact numbers what is the length of that diagonal. The novice will at once sug gest that we might take our diagonal first, say an exact foot, and then con struct our square. Yes, you can do this, but then you can never say exact ly what is the length of the side. Tou can have it which way you like, but you cannot have it both ways. But let us take a few puzzles that have not been proved to be impossible, but which nevertheless have not been solved. They will give the reader some fascinating employment during spare hours', if he happens to be fond of figuring. First, then, take the round table problem. Nine persons are stopping at a boarding house, and they all sit down together to dinner on twenty-eight successive nights at a round table. The rule of the house is that no person shall on any two occasions have the two same neighbors. How Is it to be done, if at all? Here Is another poser. If we write down the number, composed of seventeen ones 11.111,111,111,111,111 and ask you to find some number other than 1 or the number itself that will divide It without remainder, the answer will give you considerable labor to discover. We. will, however, say at once that the only numbers that will divide it are 2,071,723 and 5,303.222.357. Now add two more ones to the number, and we cannot tell you wheth er it can be exactly divided by any number or not, for nobody knows. If you can find such a divisor you will have done something that nobody else in the world has yet succeeded in do ing. And we cannot say that it Is impossible. Every one knows what a magic square is. . Divide a square into nine divisions, or cells, and then place the numbers 1 to 9, one number in each cell, so that they shall add up fifteen In every column, every row and In each of the two diagonals. It is quite easy, and there is only one way of doing it, because we do not count as different the arrangements obtained by merely turning around the square and reflecting it in a mirror. " ' Now, if 'we wish to make a magic square of the sixteen numbers, 1 to 16, there areust 880- different ways of doing It, again not counting reversals and reflections.- This has been finally proved of recent -yeare. But how many magic squares can be formed with the twenty-five numbers, 1 to 25, nobody knows, and we shall have to extend our knowledge in certain directions be fore we can hope to solve this puzzle. But It Is startling to find that exactly 174.240 such squares may be formed of one particular kind only the bordered square, in which the Inner square of nine cells is in itself magic. Ai 1 the present .writer has shown how this number may at once be doubled by merely converting - every bordered square by a simple rule Into a nonbordered one. Vain attempts have, been made to construct a magic square by what Is called a 'knight's tour" over the chess board, numbering each square that the knight visits In succession. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.. and it has been done with the exception of the two diagonals, which so far have baffled all efforts. But It Is not certain that it cannot be done. Here Is one more unsolved problem In numbers: We all know that a square number is a number multiplied by itself, but a cube number is ons multiplied twice by itself thus, S Is the cube of 2, 27 the cube of 3. and so on. Now, some whole numbers are the sum of two whole cubes as 35 is the sum of the cubes of 2 and 8 others are the sum of two fractional cubes as 43 is the sum of the cubes of H and 7-2 while the whole numbers cannot be expressed as the sum of two cubes In any way whatever. It Is possible to say of any number from 1 to 100 whether It is or Is not the sum of two cubes, except CC. Nobody In the world can answer for this number. Can you solve these problems?

A new class of Insurance is said to have been Introduced in Odessa which Insures against riots, mob violence and revolutionary risings, the premiums ranging from 2S to 3 per cent. The town of Mutteburra, Queensland, has a natural hot water supply. The water is drawn from an artesian well and is piped to the houses of the consumers, where it arrives at a tempera, ture of 133 degrees. . The ubo of whisky and other alcoholic bererarges by government or municipal employees during hours of service is practically prohibited in Belgium, with the result that drunkenness is rarely met with in any branch of the public service and never among railway employees. : Nothing Like It. "But does the course of true lore ever run smooth?" Certainly." ; "When?" "When it has a running account at the best shop3." . Wrong Sex. "He lost his money in the mail order business." "Might have known It Females give most of the orders these days." The Cause of It "Life is only a losing game at the best." "Yes? Which horse did you bet on?" PERT PARAGRAPHS. Some invalids appear to get positively angry at the idea of getting well. Being too much in the sunshine of prosperity is apt to make a man so squint eyed that he can't see straight. There are women who are entirely capable of keeping the family in hot water without recourse to the janitor. All things come round to him who runs in debt except cash. 1 No woman ever avoided a tailor's bill by getting a coat of paint.
