trial in the Seine Asizcs. At aiorm-
er trial after two examinations by
experts in handwriting a document
forged by hi in was attributed to a
y perfectly innocent man who was
sent to prison for five years.
Giraud is onlv 35 vears of age
but he has had a strange career. At
the age ol lo iie was sent to

'formatorv because . of theft leaving
I at the age of IS to join the army
where his good conduct enabled him
'.to become a Sergeant. He .then ob-
'tained employment at the Paris
J octroi and subsequently the
Rank of France.
j During the whole of this time he
' obtained important sums of money
'.from a number of provincial banks
! by means of forged checks and bills'
i-of exchange. He began at Epernay
in 1891 and obtained two .sums of
9870 francs and. 3900 francs with
a forged check. . In 1892 he was at
Rheims and obtained 24000 francs
and a few months later heaitempt-
ed-to cash a check JEor 19.780 francs
at Orleans but was imsucessfulJ
In 1893 at Chalons-s.ur-.AI.ame he
obtained 7500 francs and later in
the year he was at Nevers where

who arrived at Dover
yesterday reached London today
and took up their residence at
Marlborough house as guests of
King Edward. When the shah left
the train 'at Victoria station he
was resplendent in a blaze of
diamonds. On his tarboosh (cap)
a huge diamond stood out like
headlight; his epaulettes were
adorned with large emeralds and
his breast covered with jewels of all
kinds. The gems worn by the
.members of the shah's suite were
.only a little less rich than those of
his majesty. The Prince of Wales
Lord Lansdowne the foreign min-
ister Lord Roberts commander in
chief and the members of the Per-
sian legation and others met the
royal traveler at the station. The
Prince of Wales and the shah shook
hands and the visitor was introduc-
ed to the prominent persons present.
The Prince of Wales subsequently
conducted the shah to a royal car-
riage and the drove off escorted
by a detachment of life ..guards and
followed by other carriages. The
Iroute to Marlborough house was
lined with troops.

was at breakfast .and was trying
his best to eat his egg quickly so
he coiihLtjikethe only one remain-
ing fi the dish before another
boarder -who he thought had de-
signs uptmit could appropriate it.
He was a sfiU boT much given
to using large ords at random.
Thaigg still reposed in the dish
whfm he was ready to eat it so-
looking across the table; he remark-
ed apprehensively
"Is that egg occupied? . If it isn't
should like to have it."
The other boarder smilingly re-
plied while passing the dish:

JEWS IN NEW YORK.
Statistics Indicating -a . Total Pop-
ula tion of 84777.
New York Aug. 18. According
to statistics based upon the number
of Jewish burials recorded by the
"Board of Health and compiled by
the Jewish Record the Hebrew pop-
ulation of New York City is estimat-
ed at 584777 In Manhattan alone
every fourth man or woman is a
Jew or Jewess.
The Jewish burials amounted in
1901 to 7997 and as the death rate
in the most congested Jewish
district is little over 155 per thous-
and this implies a population of
533133 in the middle of 1901.
Since that time no less than 39225
Jews have arrived at New York and
stayed jjre while by natural
increase ofokths over deaths 12-
400 would be added up to August
1 of this year making a grand total
of 548788. The number of Jewish
marriages in Manhattan alone in
1901 was 5862 which is a very
high marriage rate of 10 per thous--and
and would imply a population
of 506200 to which has to be
added the 70000 Jews in Brooklyn
.and the increase by immigration
and excess of births as before;
MUSCULAR POWER
I
BEETLES.
The following ane
ote of a three-
.horned beetle the o
etes marmon
will give an idea ot its vast strength
of body.
A beetle was brought to the writ-
er who having no box at hand in
wmcii to put it until ne coma Dis
pose of it. clapped the creature un
der a quart bottle of milk which
happened to be on the table the
hollow at the bottom of the bottle
allowing the insect to stand up-
right. Presently the bottle began to
move slowly and along the smooth
table propelled by the muscular
jpower of the imprisoned beetle and
.continued for some time to peram
bulate the surface io the .astonish
ment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its con
tents could not have been less than
three pounds and a half while that
of the beetle was about half an
.ounce; so that it readily moved a
weight 112 times greater than its
own.
A better notion than figures can
convey will be obtained of this feat
by supposing a lad of fifteen to be
be imprisoned under the great bell
ofjthecathedraljwhich weighs 12000
pounds and to move it to and fro
upon a .smooth pavement by push-
ing within.
THE CAROB TREE.
A
Drouth-Resisting Plant to
Tried in Southwest Texas.
Be
Houston Post.
Mr. Oswald Wilson special agent
of thp agricultural department has
just returned irom Washington
where he secured 500 plants of the
Carob or St. John Bread tree which
he will distribute on application
throughout Southwest Texas. The
department issues the following
description of the tree:
The Carob tree or St. John Bread
(ceratonia siliqua) is a long-lived
evergreen tree growing as high as
thirty to forty feet and sometimes
fifty to sixty feet. It is wpnderfully (
resistant to droMi bwtr will not
grow on low Avfigds. The tree
will endure sligfnrirosts but is
killed by a freeze.
It is valuable as a shade- tree for
avenues and for its yods which
make excellent feed for work horses
and for milch cows. The "pods are
also used to fatten oxen.
Carob trees are either male or
female and the odor of the male
flowers is not pleasant. However
the male trees when they appear
can' be grafted with scions from fe-
male trees. Grafting or budding
seedlings with scions or buds of
improved varieties is also practiced
and is important.
The Carob must be transplanted
while young. Before planting the
ground should be deeply worked
the plants well firmed about the
roots (without breaking the ball of
earth). Daring dry spells give wa-
ter while' the plants are small and
cover the surface above the roots
with some roiuh litter. (This is
only necessary during very dry
weather and while the plant
sending down fresh roots.)

LADY RAGLAN
ON
EXHIBITION.
Will Pose in Her Coronation Robes
for Benefit of a '
Hospital.
London Aug. 10. Lady Raglan
is enjoying the distinction of evolv-
ing the most up-to-date charity
show. She has agreed to place
herself on exhibition during the
afternoon to-morrow wearing her
coronation roIes and coi-oiiet. for
the benefit of the local hospital at
Beckenham Kent. The modest
sum of 0 cents i-- to be charged for
admission to the hall where Her
Ladyship will be on view. The
event was intended to "be a quiet
suburban affair but the newspapers
got hold of the story and the hos-
pital authorities in order to reap
the greatest benefit have issued
poster advertisements announcing
the apprea ranee of the Peeress in
her robes and wearing the coronation
medal presented to her by King
Edward.
TIME AT NORTH POLE.
If the north pole is ever reached
the adventurous spirits who get
there will find that they have ac-
tually outstripped Father Time al-
togetherIn 'fact he will " have
given up the race entirely for at
the northern and southern extrem-
ities of the earth's axis there is no
fixed time at all. 1
At any moment it can be either
noon or midnight breakfast time
or supper time work time or play
time whichever you ' like. Clbcks
will be a frand and delusion for
: at the pole all degrees of longitude
converge into one and therefore -all
times.
The possibilities of such a posi-
tion . are endless. Not only too
will the clocks be out of time but
the calendar as well. It can be at
will either yesterday today or to-
morrow. BILLION DOLLAR" SESSION.
