Hidden Tattoo Marks.
An escaped convict was on trial be-
fore a French court, and the question
turned upon his identity with a prison
er known to have been tattooed. There
was no appearance of colored marks
upon his arm, and the question submit-
ted to M. Leroy, the medico-legal ex-
pert. was whether the man had ever
been tattooed. M. Leroy applied strong
friction to tho akin of the man's arm.
This had the effect of bringing out
white lines as cicatrices. with a slight
bluish tint. By this means the Word
“Sophie” was plainly legible in white
marks on the reddened skin. This

The Reason They Are Wide Brimmed,
High and Fragile.
In a lecture on Korea, Burton Holmes,
speaking of the men's hats, said:
“Though Korea and especially Seoul
has many foreigners and the people
have become accustomed to strangers,
they adhere closely to their curious
costumes, the bat being the most im-
pressive part of the garb. The Korea■
gentleman never removes his hat in th*
presence of company, either in th*
house or outside. The hat must be
worn constantly during waking hours.
“The bat consists of a wide brim and
a crown high enough to contain the
topknot. The bats are made of many
materials and vary in price from 2 to
$40. Their form dates back to a time,
centuries ago, when a king who was
fearful of plots and conspiracies de-
vised the head wear as a protection
against his noble enemies. *If men
could not get their heads together, he
argued, they could not engage in a
conspiracy, so he issued an edict com-
pelling his courtiers to wear bats with
gigantic brims. Then in order to pre-
vent fighting on the street he ordered

to protect the president and punish
the enemies of the government and so-
cial orders, “but in the accomplishment
of this laudable desire we are unwil-
ling to put on the statute books a law
that will invade and destroy the most
valued principles of republican institu-
tions which will take from the states
their .rightful jurisdiction over crime;
which will overturn the recognized pol-
icle* and procedure of a hundred years;
and which, not content with the pro.
visions respecting the presidents, sets
apart some forty-five or fifty other men
in a separate class whose persons shall
1 be more sacred in the eye of the law

Sourds and Gestnres That Take th*
PIace of Speech.
A sound or gesture made by an ani-
mal under any mental or emotional
impression and calling out a similar
one in another animal is an element
of language. When the rabbit qulckiy
beats the ground, its fellow rabbit*
know that there is danger somewhere,
and they take action accordingly. That
is rabbit language. Whn the buntef
imitates the rabbit and thus conveys
the same ideas, he is “speaking” the
rabbit language for the time being.
Many animals use signs, which of
course are understood through the
eyes. The ants converse by touching
antennae and feet. Many insects rub
the elytra. Thin is animal language
in its simplest form. It expresses but
few ideas. But there are animal*
which are capable of modulating their
“voices.”
Even the common rabbits, which
seem to be mute, are constantly mak-
ing sounds, which a little observation
will soon discover to be over changing
in volume, modulation, etc. Much of
this method of communication changes
when the animal is brought into civ-
ilization from the wild state. The wild
dog, for instance, barks very little
when in freedom. How the household
dog barks and is able to express him-
self is well known.

clause of the new state constitution,
which in attacked by the proceeding.
Mr. Anderson argued that as the su-
frage provision makes no discrimina-
tion on account of race, color or pre-

not conflict with the fifteenth amend-
ment to the constitution. When that
amendment I* not violated each state,
he said, had an unquestionable right
to regulate it* own electorate. and It
is competent for the state to fix as
tests of fitness, characteristic* which,
though possessed by both white and
colored citizens, are possessed by the
whites in larger proportion than the
blacks.

Tampa, Fla., April 5.—Five persons,
members of a pleasure party of the
Florida Methodist college at Souther-
land, were drowned near Anclote light-
house last night.
The dead:
Mrs. Walker, wife of the president
of the college.
Miss O’Connor, Atlanta.
Miss Slaughter, Southernland.
Miss McRay, Southernland.
Mr; Boulard, Southernland.
President Walker and Miss Newton
reached the beach alive. The bodies
of the other three were washed ashore
and recovered. President Walker had
taken the party out for a cruise but
met with rough weather and the boat
was overturned.
The Florlda Methodist college is lo-
cated at Southernland on the west
coast of the gulf.
This afternoon the University base-
ball season'proper open* with a couple
of games against the snappy nin* from
the University of Arkansas. This is
the first series with a foreign team
and consequently a great deal of in-
terest attaches to it as an indication
of how the Texas nine compare* with
the college teams of the middle west.
Arkansas ha* been In hard practice
for nearly two months and Manager
Fox Wood report* hl* men in the pink
of condition and determined to win.
They have already defeated a number
of their neighboring rival* in some
fast game*. In fact, her record in
these early game* has been so flatter-
ing that Texas la considerably nervous
• •to the outcome of the contests to-
day and tomorrow.
It will be remembered that two
years ago the Arkansas travelers gave)
the orange and white quite a scare
and it la reported that their team this
year completely outclasses any team
they had before.
One of the ominous facta in south-
western athletics during Rie last
couple of year* has been the mar-
velous strides of Arkansas in Inter-
collegiate athletics. The excellent
showing of Its football team last sea-
son is well known here but perhaps it
is not known to the people of Austin
that shortly after the Texas trip. It
•wept the giant Oklahoma eleven off
its feet by a belter score than 'Var-
sity. namely, 12 to 0. The papers of
Fayettsville, Arkansas, claim that its
progress in baseball has been even
more meteoric. For these reasons the
Texas boys will go in to the game
this afternoon in a dubious stete of
mind but resolved to play with all
their might. The Arkansas boys are
especially reputed to, be unmerciful
sluggers with the willow. This will
compel the University boys to do some
sensational fielding and at the same
time do some fancy stick work on their
own account. Manager Fox Wood
claims that his pitcher is a puzzle
and that Texas will not be able to hit
the latter’s deceptive twisters with a
tennis racket. And the infield, he
says, works as swift and pretty as
any college infield in the middle west.
Texa is fully awake to the fact that
it is up against an extremely doubtful
proposition, but is determined not to
let a defeat mar its hitherto clean rec-
ord. The game Monday agalnst St.
Edward's was really a beaufful exhi:
bltion of clean, fast ball and showed
that Coach Hutchinson has been
teaching the boys a great deal about
hiiting and base running. Beasley
will be in th* box and Texas is confi-
dent that the vaunted Arkansas
"stleksmen"’ will find him no easy
mark.
Half mi.e, maiden 2 year old*: Pire-
lla won; Velna, second; Ben Eric,
third. Time, 1.21 1-4.

iuon won; Iacy Crawford, second;

correspondent says:
Russian money, which was shaky at
the beginning of the war, is again firm.
The Chinese volunteer militia formed
there presents a good appearance,
wearing a special uniform with epau-
lettes bearing the Russian national
flag. The natives provide provisions
freely and are selling horses brought
from the surrounding country. The
mandarins are an exception to this
general rule, as they are cautious and
trying to carry water on both shoul-
der*. As their conduct la passive, it
does the Russians no harm.
The railroad holds out splendidly
and works regularly. The weather is
warm and the rivers are open. InPort
Arthur all is quiet and the inhabitant*
have become accustomed to the state
of war though some of them are in
patient that the enemy ha* been for
so long a time invisible.
