Arabs say a man gifted with this malign power can look at a bird flying in the air and that It will drop dead; that if he chooses to cast bis winked spell on a camel It may go lame or a child so selected will be struck blind.

In estimating the size of the human bruin In comparison with the brain of other animals we must figure on not only the positive size, but the relative. Were this not the case man would stand below the elephant and whale, as the brains of those creatures far ex ceed man's in positive size, while as regards relative size they stand so far below him that, while the brain of the elephant amounts to about the five hundredth und that of the whale to three-thousandth part of the bodily weight of these animals respectively, the brain of mun varies from one-thirty-fifth to one-thirty-seventh of his en tire weight This shows the immeuse superiority of the human brain as com pared with the bruins of the lower ani mals. New York American. . Dogs That Hunt Crabs. A collector for the Loudon zoo has succeeded in capturing several crRb huntlug and crab eating dogs In Brazil. The dogs are half fox, but they do not seem to care very much for poultry. They have boon known to turn up their noses at nice, fat pullets and ge fishlug for crabs Instead. The dogs bunt in packs along the banks of the rivers In the Amazon valley, and the crawfish and land crabs of that region are their especial prey. The crabs often put up a vigorous fight, but the dogs have n way of turning tbem over and biting tbem in a vital spot just as the thor oughbred terrier polishes off a rat. New York Herald. Unfair Advantage. A school inspector, examining a class In Bible history, asked, "Can any boy tell me what bird Nonh let out of the ark':'' There was a loug silence, and then the .smallest boy in the class- put up his hand and answered. ''Please, sir, a dove!" The Inspector expressed bis surprise that only the smallest boy in the class knew the answer lo IIh question. "But. please, sir," replied oue of the boys, evidently touched by thl reproach, "his father keeps a- bird shop!"-London Telegraph. - A Lesson In Pronunciation.

QUEER BURIAL SERVICE. Hew Adaman Islanders Protect Their Dead From Evil Spirits. Strange Is the burial service among tha Adaman islanders. It la the cus torn of the Islanders to drop the bodies of their parents Into the aea at the end of ropes and leave them there nntll nothing remains but the bones, which they then gather and hang from the roofs of their huts. It Is a common custom for a relative to sit by the hour and watch the bones of some relative. This Is the way they have of showing their love and respect The bodies are treated in this fash Ion so that the evil spirits cannot tease and pinch them. All that la left are the dried bones, and these are placed high so that If the evil spirits wander mto the bins tbejr will have a bard (line to sod (Item.

After the bodies are In id to rest with dancing and rejoicing because they are going to rule over a higher sphere their relatives and friends do net depart until they leave one or more chairs and a supply of clothes. This Is dime because the souls are expected to come out and wauder about their graves -Chicago Tribune. Whale Sharks.

Henderson, who recently jought the lisdale place with the pur pose of developing it as a suburb, has in intrrestirg announcement in the Journal this morning, it is that he will give ten dollars in eold to the per son who sisgests the best name ftr the pronostdnew suhuib. The judge; will pass on the merit ot the several names - suggested and announce the vinner baturdav evening. March 1. Mr. Henderson does not bind hirreH ;o accept the name the judges select u me most apprcrriau, bur he will pay the ten dollars to the person sug gesting the name that appeals to the mages as the most suitable. 1 he'circumstanccs all rcem to favor a splendid future for the new suburb. The city is widening ar.d paving Broad street, which leads directly out to the property and the countv hzs already paved Neusc road leading by the pro perty. There is also a move on foot fcr a new car line to go out by the fair grounds, come hack down Neuse road and into Borad street. Such a line if built would pass by the property and would of course make building lets on it all the more 'desirable. -And even if such a lire is'not built, the suburb is in three blocks of the existing line. Mr. Henderson is planning the opening of an eighty foot boulevard through the place, this embracing the lane and long double row of elms now leading up to the Tisdale hoire. In honor of a former New Bern jurist the boulevard will be named "The Gaston Boulevard". The greater part ol the building lots will face this boulevard. Th(j place is partly in the city limits and arrangements will be made by which, all city conveniences such as electric light, gas and water can b; had. Mr. Henderson will reserve a large lot for himscif and is thinking of build ing thereon an ideal home. ' WANTS TO START Representative of Construction Company Securing Sub scrlotlons to Stock. MEETS WITH ENCOURAGEMENT Nothing Collected on Subscrip tions Until Plant Is In Operation., Jesse Sigsworth, representing the Williams Construction Company, of Chicago, is in the city to secure sub scriptions of stock in a canning factory. His company has erected and equipped thousands of canning factories anel it proposes to put 'one here and cne in Greensboro if thebusiness men of the two places take hold, of the project. . When seen b'y a reporter ol the J urnal yesterday he had secured about fifteen hundred dollars of the stock. It is necessary to sell only seventy-five hundred dollars worth and none of the money, is paid in until the plant is erected and apr roved by a committee of the stcckhe ldcrs. Of the seventy-five hundred dollars pro--posed to be subscribed $6,500 will go to the construction company for the building and apparatus, and the other thousand for site, and incidental ex pense, Hcretofcrc lie work of the William Construction Company has been cons fined largely to the West and North But lately they have looking been into the Southern fiel&V partly at the sUgr gestion anel request of the V. S. Agri cultural D( aitir.i nt and partly en their own initiative. Thev have built and equipped 68 iaftcrics in Varland and are building inc now at Horcncc, S, C. I i The plant will employ about 150 people seven months in the year. The full capacity is 20,000 three pound cans per day. The Vegetables canned are tomatoes, string beans, okra, pumpkin, table beets, etc. As a general thing canning factories are said to be very profitable and the proposition of Mr. Sigsworth seems so lair that business men generally, who arc anxious tosec the town go forward in manufacturing lines, are looking vithfavcx on it BOY ON BICYCLE A colored bov riding a bicycle ran Hnwn a of .mrr m wm, ,1 Dan r i h liHlMnnnfMr ar.1 Mrs I) M i. rt was leing pushed 1 y hi mother yes er- day alternoon ct tl.c coiner el rYl'ock and Middle streets and the little hild sustained a painlul brui; c on his fare as a res i It .

Ferrabee, who was injured by being thrown from one of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company s trains at Wendell last June, is this week suing that company in Wake county Superior Court for damages in the sum of seven ty live thousand dollars. Young Ferrabee lost a hand and sustained other injuries by the accident. This is one of the largest claims ever made upon the railway company and the case is being lought hard THE UNEASY HEAD THAT WEARS NO CROWN Perhaps no burden that Woodrow Wilson must bear for the next four years will be more irksome to his temper than the constant surveillance of se -ret service men. Since his elec tion he has been guarded, and in the last few days the number of detectives has been doubled. They dwell in a little camp near his home whence all comets can be viewed, and at no hour of the twenty-four is there a relaxation of watchfulness. That such precautions are needed no one will deny, but to the academic democrat who puts his trust in prin- ciples anel looKs on violence as an sauli on the very foundations of so cjfty- mUBt ,rvinK t0 hedged about bv suards that savor of old time monarchies. We imagine that Mr. Wtkon will be a President most difficult to nurse. Roosevelt was reck less, and so energetic that he some times left his retinue behind, but he was more or less reconciled to the theory of the protection. Mr. Wilson will hate if from the beginning. He will want solitude. He will desire a large amount both of simplicity .and personal ireenom. mis snaaows w I him 8o?my ,n fact: The detectives may interfere with democracy, but they must be a source of profound comfort to the chief democrat's family. Too little thought ie wasted on the anxious hours that will be spent by his wife and children frtled with a vague dread that fanati cism has once more taken toll of the life that stanch, not (or itself, but rep-, resentative of a whole people and ideal of government. We trust that these watchers may be for the next four years the ounce if prevention to hold back even the hint of -tragedy.
