themselves to everything that came in
their hands. Well-to-do and learned
people took valuable papers and ar
ticles, carrying home heavy burdens
of plunder. “It would have lieen lost
anyway,” they later explained. “So
why should we not have the benefit
of enjoying what we saved from de
struction?” Two students were among
the rioters and many more among the
plunderers. Few murders were com
mitted on the first day. The most hor
rifying brutalities were perpetrated on
the second day. Some houses were
visited four and five times. Laborers
killed their employers. In one place a
young gymnnsist (high school boy),
heroically defended his 'beauiiful
I mother, whom his father’s working
nun wanted to assault. He saved her
honor, but the brutes pierced both of
her eyes and the young hero was
killed'on the spot.

Jewish Chronicle (London) terms “a

Russia toward the atrocious anti

Jews were killed outright, or brutally
injured, that their homes wert looted
and burned down over their heads,
scarcely perturbed the placidity of the
Russian police officials. But now comes

which he sat went thumping, along at
twelve miles an hour, shakUig the pas

"What makes flat WhecW?” asked
the man sitting next the Ad brake

“Blame fools." said the 'makeumn.
“It’s this way: If a man doesn't know
how to stop his car he makes a flat

Mb« Story" Tk«t Ho» 7»h«|
| Attention of Santa Club Woman.
I “Problem stories" u « still rife fl nd
popular among those clever Chicago
club women who enjoy sharpening
their already keen wits upon bard or
perplexing questions. Never a “club
luncheon,"' an informal’gathering of
any kind, or one of the “after club”
sessions that are always so enjoyable
»nd pleasant takes place without three
or four of these stories being presented.
Here is a particularly good and
puzzling “problem story” for wtfkeh. as
yet, no feminine solution has been
found.
A certain man, of marked business
ability and equally marked business
Integrity, had been persuaded by a
tru^Jed friend to purchase heavily of
certain stocks. After he had signed
the agreement to take the stocks, but
widle they were still unpaid for, he
happened to attend the theatre, leav
ing, he somehow managed to slip On
the coat oCan unknown neighbor, in
stead of his own. Going home in a
car, he desired to read over a letter
from the friend who had persuaded
him to purchase the st^ks, and, taking
,thlo letter, as he supposed, from the
pocket in which he had previously
placed it, he opened it and ran his eye
casually over the first page before he
(realized that, while in his frjend’s
(handwriting, this letter was not ad
(dressed to or intended for him.
He caught sight of some reference
|to the lately purchased stocks, how
lever, and, unable to resist, the tempta
(tlon to see what was said of them, read
the letter through.
To his horror and dismay the man to
whom , the letter was written was
strongly warned against buying any
of the stocks in which the writer of
the letter had induced the inadvertent
render to invest so largely. The inad
vertent reader was still further hor
rified to And in what a direful predica
ment he was now placed.
If he retained and paid for the stocks
In question he undoubtedly, according
to the information conveyed in the let
ter, allowed himself to be heavily
"sold.” If, on the contrary, he refused
to take these stocks he must explain
how and where he had obtained the
information that had caused him to
change his opinion—a circumstance
particularly abhorrent to the man
whose proud boast had long been that
he had never yet found it necessary
to divorce his ideas of business and
personal honor, that he had never
stooped to a low or dishonorable thing.
All the circumstances and conditions
of the case, financial and otherwise,
had been fully discussed before the
agreement to purchase the stocks was
signed. There was no way of open ox
honorable retreat’ for him, and yet—
to lose, ns he now knew he must If
Ihe stocks were retained, would set him
back a long term of years finaneMßy
and undo the clever, honest, painstak

The Giant Squid.
One of the most remarkable as well
as gigantic animals of the deep sea is
the giant squid—a favorite tidbit of the
sperm whale. The size to which these
animals grow, their strength and their
hideous appearance places them on a
par-wlth many of the weird and gro
tesque creatures of a past age. The
squid uudoubtodly attains a length of
nearly, if not over, 100 feet, and pieces
have been taken from the stomach of
whales which suggested animals far
beyond this in size.
No more hideous ereature can be im
agined. The body is barrel-shaped, the
tail like an arrow head, the eyes as
large as saucers, black and white, hyp
notic and staring. The arms are at
tached to the head and are ten in num
her. from ten to twenty feet long in ex
tremely large animals, while two are
from thirty to fifty feet in length, de
pending upon the size of the individual.
The short arms are provided with ex
traordinary suckers their entire length.
The two long ones have them only at
the extremities, and they form vir
tually a pair of pincers, which are shot
out thirty or more feet like a flash of
light to seize unsuspecting prey, which
is then hatiiefl among the shorter arms
aud held powerless to escape. The
mouth is small, hut is provided with
two lat’ge parrot-like beaks. This
iweird creature, weighing tons, with a
power of changing its color like a cha
meleon, and in some species luminous,
lives .in deep fjonblike bays and prob
ably in the deeper regions of the ocean, i
as it, is rarely seen except when it is
wounded.
The Yard an Arbitrary Meaturo.
The yard, is an arbitrary measure.
Its use as a measuring standard goes
so far back that it is not exactly
known now or where It first became
a standard of measurement. The
metrical system, however, is bused up
on the meter, which Is the ten mil
lionth part of the quadrant of tl.e
earth, measured on a meridian. Tnls
system was adopted by the French
' convention in iTbS. The National In
stitute of France ordered a new and
actual measure of the whole arc of
ithe meridian which extended the en- [
Hre length of France from Dunkirk
on .the north to Barcelona in Spain.
This meridian passed through Paris.
; As this measurement was to deter
mine the exact length of the meter, the
labor of measuring this arc was in
,trusted to two of the jmost eminent en
gineers In France at that time. They
insed rods of platinum twelve feet in
length, for measuring Uio bases, and
the precision with which the angles
were observed was sueli that when the
length of the meter, which was to be
one-ten millionth of the length of the
quadrant, wgs finally determined, the |
