The movement for independence has
been in progress since the rejection
by the congress nt Bogota of the Hay

ripening was duo to the news of tlio
unexpected arrival nt Colon of the

that the Dixie will soon arrive here
Public alarm in Colon is now some

During the excitement the blue

armed with rifles and revolvers. Sov
ernl Americans nnd other foreigner
took refuge on board the German

mil on Nebraska's two yard lino. It
ivas. all over and the next play the sa-
: rcd goal line of Nebraska was crossed
'or the first tlmo In two years. No

Professor Lombroso also discusses
the fur more complex subject of "left
Bldodnoss. " Certain people arc more
sensitive upon the left side than upon
the right. This condition has no con
nection with loft handedncss and Is
highest in lunatics , 4-1 per cent.
Parrots nro left handed , and so nre
lions. Rollot found in twenty-seven
monkeys the loft shoulder heavier than
the right.

en button tholr garments In n different
direction from men and why early
languages , like the Arabic , are written -
ton from right to Ipft. Very old chro
nometers were wound from right to
left , not from left to right , us at pres
ent.
However , Professor Lombroso hedges
by. saying : "One can without dllllculty
find nniong good men real left handcil-
ness , as among the greatest evildoers
there nre some who have not that char
acteristic. I do not dream at all of say
ing that all left handed people are wick
ed , but that loft hniuleilness , united to
many other traits , may contribute to \
form one of the worst characters
among the human species. "
