Tha Lonely Sheep Tenders of 11a
California Blerraa.
j There are few lonelier lives In the
world than those lived by shepherds
la the high meadows of the California
iBlerras. All alone they follow their
sheep, seeing no one for many months
of the year but the sheep, their dogs
and perhaps an occasional a very oc
casional traveler. Probably this soli
tude dries up the springs of speech,
for they are said to be very silent
when they do encounter any one.
One of theso strange men is n Basque
from the Pyrenees. A loan, dark via
aged, ragged fellow, he Is now and
then overtaken by some wanderer In
the mountains. Along the trail before
him his sheep feed. Ills numgrV col
lie bangs at bis heels. lie may raise
his stick In mute salutation; he may
slouch by without a sign. Yet this un
couth being has one talent he can
carve. His amusement Is carving
quaint sheep buckles out of bone. Ev
ery herd has Its bellwether, about
'whose neck hniigs a bell. The bell de
pends from a leather collar, and it Is
the buckles of these collars that this
old Basque shepherd and some of these
other Sierra shepherds make in the
course of their lonely days. Some
times a buckle represents a summer's
work, for some of them are very elab
orate. Some are In the semblance of
saints or angels, some have the mono
grama of the sheep owners or of the
Shepherds In curious designs. All
are patiently cut, bit by bit, with the
pocketkiilfe of the shepherd. Ex

Mud Ho line llullt by Vv !.
A naturalist has thus described tin
hablls of a specks of wusp that makes
its nest of mud, says the Dundee Ad
vertiser. The mud of which their nests
is composed, he Mild, Is often curried
for some distance, n It Is essential for
them to use good, stilt clay. At tha
edge of Home pond or stream you may
see these Insects roll sticky little balls
out of the stiit mud-widi their strong
jaws. With this heavy load of mud
they-rise slowly, and. having gained
some height, they g.'t their bcarluga
nnd ity in ti straight lino to their nest.
In this way they resemble the bees; In
deed, all the wasps and bees seem to
have a wonderful family for flying
directly home from any point. When
the wasp lias gained the place select
ed for a building site she puts the tiny
ball of mud nu';;l;ist the wall of I'm
building and rubs it tight by moving
her head from slds! to side very rapid
ly. 'Jim outer surface cf the nest shows
a scries of rings, with sharply defined
lines between most of them, but the In
terior Is uhvays extremely smooth and
ulmobt a perfect cylinder. Whllo build
ing her nest tho Insect continually runs
in mid out of the tiny cylinder, exam
ining It minutely with her "feelers."
If a rough place Is felt ou the Inner
surface she carefully sets to work and
rubs H tsmooth. When tho cylinder Is
finished the wasp goes huutlng for spl
iers. A t'liaupo f u Mabt Good.

Metals get tired a well as living

wires ore belter conductors on Monday
than Saturday, on account of their
Sunday rest, and n rest of thn-e weeks
adds 10 per cent to tho conductivity of
a wire.
Alzcn is tho name given to a new
metal, which Is coiiosed of two pnrts
of aluminum and one part of tine. It
Is said to equal cast Iron hi strength,
but Is much more' elastic. Alxcn Is
superior liocause It does not rust and
takes a high polish.
s The singular phenomenon of hard
steel being cut by a rapidly revolving
disk of soft steel hus been somewhat
puulng. A microscopic examination
by an English engineer, P. W. Harbord,
has now shown that the metal acted
upon Is heated nearly or quite to the
melting point of steel, but only at the
point of contact with the disk.
A section of the Canadian Northern
Hallway, running northwest from Sud
bury and crossing the Vermillion It Ivor,
Is unique in that It Is ballasted with
gold. Every yard of the gravel used
for ballast has lweii found to contain
from 50 cents worth to $1 worth of the
precious metal In the shflic of fine dust,
and a syndicate Is lustalllng machinery
for its extraction.
There was recently brought to the
British museum about half a peck of
stones asserted to have tx-en taken from
the stomach of an African elephant.
The stones ore angular and unworn.
Other Instances of tho same nature are

tho curiosities to the museum has dem
onstrated the existence of the stone

The year 1907 was the eighth successive

So great Is the part played by birds
In disseminating seeds and in protect
ing plants by the destruction of noxious
Insects that II. W. ltanshaw reaches
the somewhat astonishing conclusion
that If all birds were exterminated, l.ot
only would successful agriculture he
come Impossible, but the greater part
of the vegetation of tho earth would
eventually be destroyed. A permanent
reduction in the bird population, bo
says, could not but have disastrous con
sequences. One of the most remarkable of the
high flights achieved by tho free bol
loons, now employed In many countries
for scientific exploration of the upper
air, was made on July 25,. 1907, near
Brussels. The tandem balloons left the
village of Uccle at 7 o'clock In the
morning, and one hour and six minutes
later they had attained an elevation,
as Indicated by the self-recording
barometer, of almost exactly 10' miles.
At that point the upper balloon burst,
and the flight was arrested. At the
height of about 7 miles, as usual, the
fall of the thermometer was arrested,
and a sudden rise of 12 degrees oc
curred In the temperature. At a little
less than 8 miles an Isothermal zone
was encountered, above which another
rise of temperature began, and contin
ced until the balloon burst. Tho last
temperature recorded was about 14
lejrees Fahrenheit.

"I was at Kingston during the Cllu

If the most remarkable old oak trees

"Just how old the tree Is no one

that 200 years ago It was a landmark.
The tree stands to-day more than 100
feet high and lta trunk Is nine feet in
diameter. Nowhere about It did I dis
cover any sign of decay or declining

"But aside from Its admirable physi

"After the revolutionary war, when
General Washington went up from

the country. Who may know but that
some of the benefits which we enjoy to
day under the Institutions of our gov

of those two great patriots beneath

Tho Llpan and . t'uranknirn.
Two Indian tribes that have passed
from memory within recent years, oni
to titter extinction, the other to prac
tical non-existence, are the Carnnkuw:
and Llpan Texas bands that were tlu
terrors of the frontier, nnd ranked
among the must warlike and dangeroui
lighters of the border.
Tin! Cnrankawn lived near tho mouth
of the Ulo Grande and Infested the
small Islands of that part of the Gulf.
So utterly was this tribe destroyed that
no scientist can place It In any racial
group. All that Is now remembered of
the Carankawu Is that Its men were
great in size, terrible in ferocity, and
cannibals of the worst description.
When the Americans began to settle
Texas the Carankawn terrorized the
lower Ulo Grande, and their savagery
at last became unendurable. The Tcx
aus nnd Mexicans surrounded them,
nnd slew them to the last man. only a
few women nnd children surviving the
massacre. This was nearly eighty years
ago, und the avengers have long since
followed their victims to the land of
shades. No one now lives who remem
bers the Carankawa, and they left no
relics behind them.
The Llpan wrre a bold and formid
able figure down to recent times. Some
authorities make the Llpan a branch
of the Pawnee, and others rank them
with the Apache and Navaho. Living
in southwestern Texas, ranging from
the Bra.os to the Pecos, and sojourning
much of the time In Mexico, the Llpan
were bold and dashing warriors, fight
ing the Comanche, raiding the settle
ments, and generally making themselves
disagreeable to nil their neighbors,
white and red. The Comanche managed
to kill off most of them,' and the Texas
rangers took care of most of the rest.
Retiring to the Santa Rosa moun
tains, in Conhuila, the Llpan dashed out
from their fastnesses, und made things
more than comfortably warm on the
Rio Grande. They might have contin
ued this sort of fork indefinitely, but
made the gross mistake of also raiding
the Mexican villages, thus biting the
hand that sheltered them. Tho Mexican
government sent a small but business
like nriny, and the Llpnn were reinowd
bodily to Mexico City, where most of
them died In a few years' time.
Nothing definite was ever known as
to tho numbers of either the Llpan or
the Gnrankawa, nor were ofty treatises
ever written ns to their habits and so
cial customs. They died ns they lived,
hostile to the white man and his ways,
nnd pnsscd Into the night all unknown
ond unstorled.
A I'aclila Phenomenon.
An extraordinary Incident Is connect
ed with Prof, vou Ilerkomer's famous
painting, "The Lnst Muster," which
was tlie picture of its year ut tho acad
emy. One morning soon after the exhibi
tion wus opemM the artist was aston
ished to receive a letter from n lady, a
perfect stranger, 'who said she was
nob aware until she saw "The Last
Muster"' at the academy on the pre
vious day that her mother, then dead,
hud ever sat to tho professor for her
portrait.
Now, the figure in the picture was
painted solely troiu Imagination, and
Uie artist hastened to explain this f:e;t
to his correspondent. She thereupon
asked for an apjiointniciit and took an
oil painting of her mother, asserting
that it was a faithful representation of
that lady.
The academician was astonished to
perceive that he had really portrayed
on bis own canvas u fac simile of the
figure In this other painting, although
It was that of a woman whom he had

Majority and Plurality.
In politics the plurulity Is the great
est of more or two numbers and Is
also Uie excess of the highest "number
of votes cast for any one candidate
over tho next highest number. When
a candidate receives out of 10,000 votes
cast 4.000 and two other candidates
receive respectively 8,500 and 2,500,
the first is. elected by a plurality,
though he has received less than a
majority of the whole vote, and be Is
said to have a plurality of 500 votes.
If the numbers are C.000, 3,000 and
1.000, the majority Is 2,000 and the
plurality Is 3,000. A majority, there
fore, must be more than half the en
tire vote cast, and a candidate's me
Jorlty is, then, the difference between
the number of votes be received and
the combined number of votes cast for
all other candidates; bis plurality is
the difference between bis own num
ber nnd the number received by the
caudidate nearest to him. Oftentimes
a candidate receives a plurality, but
not a majority. Unless there Is a tie
there Is always a plurality. ruth

moment during the battle at St. Vin

from the bands of tho enemy.
The fowl In question formed part of
the live stock of the Marlborough, a
Vessel which had suffered so severely
that her captain was considering the
advisability of striking his flag. Tbe
ship was entirely dismasted, while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded, and the crew, with
out anybody to cheer them up, were

beavy fire of the enemy, to which tbey
were hardly able to respond. At this
emergency a shot struck the coop in
which tbe fowls were confined. The
only surviving occupant, a cock, find
ing himself at liberty, fluttered up
and perched himself on the stump of
the mainmast and surveyed the scene
of carnage around him. Then, flapping
bis wings In defiance, be began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by
three hearty and exhilarating cheers
from tb crew, who all had a good
laugh aud, with spirits thus renewed,
coutinued the action with a vigor that
lasted until a turn in the battle res
cued them from their tight position.

Taraloa? av Tight Screw.
Any one who has attempted to re
move a very tight screw knows what
a very ' difficult business It Is. After
straining and twisting for a con
siderable time the operator frequent
ly ends by losing bis temper and de
stroying the bite of the screw, which
remains fixed as tightly as ever. With
the aid of a pair of pinchers, however,
the affair Is quite a simple one. Place
the screwdriver In position and then
catch hold of the blade with the pinch
ers Just above the head of the screw.
Press the screwdriver firmly and at
the same time twist round the blade
with the pinchers. The tightest screw
will yield Immediately to this sort of
persuasion.
