TO KILL ARE HER; DEAD
BOTH
Waycross, Nov. 10.—In the
presence of his five children by
his first wife, C. H. McDonald,
31, shot and killed his second
wife, bride of but a few weeks,
and turning his pistol upon him
self, ended his own life late Sat
urday night.
McDonald had become infuriat
ed at a reference made by his
wife to his cruelty to a dog of
hers, which he had kicked.
Several Arguments.
Several arguments are said to
have resulted from the dog epi
sode and culminated in a mutter
ed threat by McDonald to kill his
wife, according to Jim Cox, an
employee, who witnessed the
tragedy. \
The wife is said to have walked
from the room to the front
porch and turning in the door
way, is said to have “dared” her
husband to kill her.
The shot followed.
McDonald then turned the pis
tol on himself.
The couple, according to rela
tives, had several misunderstand
ings recently and some effort had
been made to arrange a separa
tion or divorce.
Had Been Brooding.
McDonald had been brooding
and in a melancholy state for sev
eral days, neighbors say.
The McDonald family were
seated at the table when the trou
ble began.
Native coolies at Dairen, the
ocean terminus of the South Man
churia railway, load and unload
ships for 20 cents a day.

Ebony Mentioned in Bible
The deep black henrtwood, which
is most highly prized In a nqmber
of trees of the ebony family, Is men
tioned In the Bible In Ezekiel 27:15,
In connection with Ivory, probably
on account of their value and of
their contrasting colors. Ebony
was once supposed to grow In the
ground “without root or leaves,”
and to It were ascribed many mirac
ulous powers. The chief source of
the ebony wood is the island of
Ceylon, where huge logs of the pure
heartvvood are cut and hauled to
the coast. For interior decorations
and furniture ebony has been super
seded by rosewood and mahogany,
but for cabinet work It is still wide
ly employed, being exported from
Madagascar, Jamaica, India and
Egypt. A species of the ebony tree
which Is used as a veneer also
grows In the southern United
States.—Washington *Star,
Modern Noah’s Ark
Barro Colorado Island was
formed when the valleys about It
were flooded by the Impounding
waters of the Chagres river to form
Gatun lake, says the Defroit News.
It resembles Noah’s ark in that
there gathered as the waters rose
nearly every form of animal life
In the vicinity, seeking escape from
the rising-flood.----—
Despite that it Is only two miles
from the Panama river, it has been
found to harbor amphibians of new
and strange habits as yet unstud
ied and innumerable species of In
sects never described, as well as
many strange and exotic plants,
numbering 2,000 or more. It
abounds with anteaters, sloths, ar
madillos, peccaries, tapir, agoutis,
eoatls, the ocelot, the Jaguar, many
species of bat, monkeys of various
kinds and the famous black howl
ers.
Cameo Cutting Hard Work
Much skill Is exercised by the ex
pert cameo cutter. He can only
work at his task for a few hours
at a time, because of nerve strain.
A quavering hand may be respon
sible for the single stroke which
will spoil a week’s work.' He must
have an eye Uke a microscope, and
a very delicate touch; he must be
an artist in soul, and as skillful a
craftsman as Is a watchmaker; he
must know how to model and draw,
and he must have a knowledge of
chemistry, so as to remove offend
ing spots. The work is executed In
relief on many kinds of hard or
precious stones, but especially the
chalcedonlc variety of quartz and
on shells.
Worse Than Island
Easter in the South
elflc Is about the most undesirable
place on earth for human habita
tion. No trees grow qn the island
because It lacks water and no birds
will live there on account of there
being no worms. The Island Is ir
regular In shape, being twejvd
miles by nine, by seven, and Is rery
seldom visited by ships. Two hun
dred Polynesians Inhabit it, and
they suffer continually from hunger.
It was first sighted In 1686. It
was explored In 1722 and the island
then had 2,000 Inhabitants.—Scien
tific American.
