The track candidate are working hard and a meet with Purdue would be a good draining for the state contest and the t meet with De Pauw. ' THE MIRAGE. Conditions That Make Possible This Beautiful Hiuslen. ' About that natural phenomenon, the mirage, much mystery clung in days of old, but science explains it as readily as the rainbow.

f The fata morgana of the strait of

Messina and the specter of the Brocken were nothing more in sober reality

than mere mirage.

-A mirage may. occur at any place

where the denser stratum of air Is placed above the lighter stratum, thus

refracting the rays of light, the com

mon surface of the two stra turns act fng as a mirror.

In looming mirages distant objects

how an extrarsgant increase in ver

tical height without alteration in

breadth. Distant hummocks of Ice are

thus magnified into immense - towers

and pinnacles, and a ship is sometimes abnormally drawn oat until it appears twelve or thirteen times as high as it Is long. Rocks are seen: drawn up to ten or twelve times their proper height Houses as vell as human be

ings and animals appear In like exaggerated shape. : ' . -:-4 Another form of mirage Is when a

ship or some . other object near the water seems greatly elongated and a second Inverted Image meets It from

above.

. Sometimes the proper Image of the

object is elevated far above the sea.

while the second Image strangely appears Inverted beneath it, the whole surrounded by a sheet of sky which is

mirrored and repeated within it

In 1882 In the arctic region Captain

Scoresby recognised by its inverted Image in the air his father's ship, the Famev wbicb afterward proved to be seventeen miles beyond the visible ho rison of his observation.

ARREST CAUSED

BY BETTER HALF

Mulholland Is Held on a Pro

voke Charge.

Frank Mulholland is being held by

the police on' the charge of provoking his wife. T He went home last night

and started . trouble, threatening her

with a whiskey bottle. - t She com

plained ko the police and he was arrest

Eighth street. An effort was made this afternoon with the prosecutor and city judge to patch up the domestic

troubles.

Included in the reports made at the

conference of ministers of the German Lutheran churches at St. John's church this morning, was that of the

treasurer. He stated that there were five students being assisted through the German Lutheran Normal school

at Woodville, Ohio and at the University at Columbus, Ohio. He reported

there were sufficient funds in the

treasury to meet the expenses of these students. Other subjects considered

this morning were of a routine nature.

Conference Closed. The conference came to a close this

noon. It will meet again September

10, at Reading, Ohio, at which time the officers for the ensuing year will bs elected.

'How Ministers of the Gospel May

Retain Cheerfulness Among Their Labors," was the subject of a sermon preached by Rev. S. W. Allwardt, one

of the visiting ministers, at last night's

session. In the afternoon session Rev. A. J. Feeger, pastor of the St.

John's Lutheran church read his thesi3 on "Divine Providence." Following

the reading of the paper, the ministers indulged in a general discussion of the subject.

Pans, April ze.'-The final cere

mony In the union of Miss Muriel

White, daughter of Henry White, the

American ambassador to France and

Count Seher-Thoss of Debrau, Prussian Silesia, took place today in St. Josephs church, Avenue Hoche. when the Roman Catholic church with its full pageantry gave its sanction to the

civil ceremony $ before the mayor of

the eighth arendisslment j yesterday

which made' Miss White legally countess of the German empire. Quiet Marriage. :

Efforts had been made by both families to have the marriage as quiet and unostentatious as possible, but the curiosity and interest of the gay

Parisians would not be denied, and

vast crowd was lined up before the

church, hours before the bridal par

ties drove up. . Everything was order

ly and decorous, however, and Miss

White was subjected to no annoyance

when she made her way into the church. A notable feature of the ceremony was the absence of Ambassador

White, who stayed away as a protest against the attitude, of the ecclesias

tical authorities, in refusing to con

cede the services of the Episcopal

church, of which he and his family

are members.

Arrangements for" the wedding had contemplated the admission of none but members and very intimate

friends of the Count and Miss White

to the church but a number of notable

figures in Paris society, including sev

eral well known members of the Am

erican colony, succeeded in obtaining

entrance. Bride Was Stunning.

frost has been seen double, the two tat ages some distance apart, j Persons have been duplicated la the 'same way.
