We were camped at the Hot Springe
on the Lo Lo trail, made famous in In
dian annals by the escape of Chief Jo
seph and his band of Nez Perces. Just
above us was a large camp of Flathead
who were making their fall hunt. One
morning we were awakened by shouts
and cries. Evidently there was great
excitement somewhere, and we promptly
jumped up. It was just after daylight
and cold clouds of steam were rising
from the big basin shaped pool at tho
foot of the granite wall, from which
Imred a thick stream of boiling water.
The pool was bo large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold. The
nearer yon approached to the phice
where the water burst from the rock the
better chance you stood of getting boiled.
At the edge, at a iouit where the water
was of a comfortable temierature, stood
two Indians, one on the bank and the
other on a stone in the water. Near by
were a dozen other Indians guarding a
number of little Indian boys and girls
who had nothing on and were howling
and crying.
When we looked out of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy, one holding him by the feet the
other by the hands, and were gravely
swinging him backward and forward
through the warm water, while he yelled
at every dip. As soon as they had fin
i.hed with him im wassetniton the bank,
and ran to the willow brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dians feared that it was his turn. They
all tried to escape to the brush, but their
elders pursued and caught them, unti.
the very last one had been put through
the cleansing process. New York Sun.

If you insist on high velocity you have
to add to much additional machinery to
your gun carriage and have to ho greatly
strengthen its construction that yon
destroy its mobility, while even if 3-0U
gain a long range you are still unable tj
make use of your most efficient projec
tile at it. Moreover, since tho remain
ing velocity of its shrapnel is a truer
measure of the value of a gun than its
initial velocity, and the two are by no
means directly proportional, it does not
follow that we benefit as much as we
might expect by submitting to these
disadvantages. Thus, the 12-pouuder
has an initial velocity of over 1 ,700 feet
per second and a remaining velocity at
3.0(H) yards of 863 feet; while the
13-pounder, with an initial velocity of
only 1.5C0 feet, has at the same range a
remaining velocity greater by six feet
per second than that of its rival.
One of our highest authorities on field
artillery has, indeed, recorded his opin
ion, that, as regards the efficiency of
shrapnel, we gain notliing by the in
creased muzzle velocity of "the best field
gun in Europe"-at all practical ranges.
Moreover, it is the attempt to squeeze
out the last few extra feet that does all
the harm. Loudon Saturday Review.
Modern Education.
With all its novel modern powers and
practical sense I am forced to admit that
the purely scientific brain iY mis:erably
mechanical: it seems to hm c become a
splendid sort of self directed machine,
an incredible automaton, grinding 011
with its analvsis or constructions. But
for pure sentiment, for all that spon
taneous Greek waywardness of fancy,
for the temjerature of passion and the
subtler thrill of idealirj-, you might as
well look to a wrought iron derrick.
Science found education blundering
peacefully along, cultivating half of the
mind with charming results and letting
the other die or disuse; it worked the
startling miracle of electrifying this
dead half into life and bringing it to
perfect activity, and straightway, satis
fied with this remarkable achievement,
it proceeded to neglect the ideal half
which the classics had made so much of
and caused it to perish. It has substi
tuted a new sort of half man for the old
one. Clarence King in Forum.
Skill in the IVri.tt.
It is wonderful what a part the wrist
plays in exercises in which physical skill
and delicacy are required. After a man
learns to play billiards well enough to
be familiar with the cushions and the
English, the important thing to cultivate
is his stroke. It is the hardest thing
about billiard playing to get a good
J stroke, and sometimes the greatest play
j ers "fall down" because they lose con
trol of it. Now, the stroke wholly de
pends on the action of the wrist. Jake
Schaeffer, or any good player.will make
a shot of seven cushions with less ap
parent force than a beginner will exert
in getting three. This is due to the su
perior wrist movement.
It's the same way with violin playing.
The quality and touch all depend on
wrist manipulation. So with curs ing a
baseball. Great pitchers always work a
strong wrist movement on the ball as it
leaves the hand. If they didn't it
wouldn't curve at all. St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Good Story .bout a Saco laivypr,

It is strangely suggestive of the upn
and downs of life to read that among
the Members of the society of chick
weed sellers in Paris there are a large
number of imms who were formerly
in a much higher condition. It may not
be generally known that the humble
itinerant duckweed seller of Paris
boasts of a syndicate, which, in default
of a hall wherein to transact businebs,
meets in the open air near the fortifica
tions. At a recent meeting the question
had to be decided whether what are
known as "colifichet" men that is to
say, itinerant venders of a species of
light cake for song birds should be ad
mitted into the society, and the votes
were taken in this way those who were
for their admission put a cork in a has
ket, those against it put in an onion,
The corks, on being counted, proving
superior in number to the onions, the
"colifichet" men were proclaimed mem
bers of the society of duckweed sellers.
In connection with the subject it is
mentioned that among tho members of
this very humble corporation are to be
found two doctors, one lawyer, four
chemi.-as. two manufacturers, twenty
nine wine merchants, one process server,
four jewelers, nineteen brokers, eight
grocers, two coppersmiths, four clock
makers and a dozen tradesmen in other
lines. It would be curious to know by
what vici: i 1 tides or reverses of fortune
such a change in the social position of
these people was brought about. A
professional man, or even a tradesman,
must be. indeed, driven to the last ex
tremity to take to selling chickweed at
one sou a hunch to earn his bread.

According to a f-.pecial from Muneie,
ind., which is tho center of the Indiana
natural gas fields, the number of chance
discoveries has just been added to by
one which will be of immense impor
tance in the industrial world. The story
is that a few days ago a service pipe
lino of natural ga had frozen near Mill
Grove. To remedy the stoppage a joint
of tho pipe was detached. It was found
that the joint was filled with ice, and
one of tho workmen pounded the pii
and a cylinder of ice about a foot long
came out. One of tho workmen said
jestingly, "Well, there's some ice which
ought to burn."
Some one then suggested that fire be
applied to the ice. The ice caught fire
and burned like a torch, so thoroughly
was it impregnated with the natural
gas. The burning gas furnished heat to
melt the ice, and as it melted it liberated
the gas, which bunted as fiercely as if it
had been coming out of a pipe.
All present were amazed at the phe
nomenon, and it was at once suggested
that the discover- might prove of im
mense value by rendering it possible to
freeze natural gas into blocks which
could be sent out for use as fuel. It
seems that the congealing had taken
place under a pressure of U00 pounds to
the square inch, and it will require in
vestigation of chemical experts to de- 1
cide whether the gas had been liquefied
by the pressure and then frozen or not.
Capitalists are investigating the dis
covery, and if practical a new industry
will be develoix'd in the natural g:ia
fields. Chicago Inter Ocean.
A Novelty in Sje-tale.
A gentleman well known in the scien
tific world has just invented a pair of
shot proof spectacles. It is not exactly
a compliment to the modern sportsman,
but 1 am bound to say that in view of
the alarming increase of shooting acci
dents in recent years, the invention
must be considered as supplying a seri
ous want. I have it from a friend who
has been going into the question that
these glasses (which are being manu
factured on the Strand) may be relied
upon to withstand almost anything
short of a charge fired point blank, and
they have the advantage of thoroughly
protecting the side of the eye which is
the direction in which the most serious
wounds are generally received. London

Remarkable AVli eel barrow Trip.
Four adventurous persons, three men
and one woman, will leave Seattle goon
for New York with no other means of
conveyance than a wheelbarrow. They
are J. F. Cheatham, John Howard, E.
W. Caston and Hiss Lou Howard. The
men will take turn about at pushing the
wheelbarrow, and only when the wom
an gives out from exhaustion will she
be allowed to ride. Only in case of sick
ness will stops of a longer duration than
twelve hours be made at any place until
Chicago is reached, where it is intended
to remain for three days, and then push
on for New York. It is the intention of
the quartet to cover the distance be
tween Seattle and New York in five
months. San Francisco Call.

Particulars of the behavior of tho lielU
telephone system in tho French autumn

.Magneto telephones were used, as no
delicate microphone or battery is es
quired with them. The transmitter was
held in the hand and tho receiver wan
affixed to the "kepi." Combined re
ceivers and transmitters were also cm
ployed. A bare bimetallic wire U.'i mil
limeters in diameter was unrolled front
a drum and laid out of harm's way 011

A line twenty-three kilometers long
was thus laid, with the addition of ten

Much comment has been excited by a
recent occurrence at Wilna, in western
Russia. The men of one of the batteries
of an artillery regiment stationed at
Wilna mutinously refused to salute oie
of their officers when he came among
them. lie summoned them more- than
once to pay him the due sign of respect,
but the soldiers paid no attention. The
officer, enraged at this behavior, at
length drew his revolver and shot two
noncommissioned officers, one after the
other. He was taking aim at a third
when the soldiers, in fear of their lives,
at length gave the proper salute. The
incident is being hotly discussed in mili
tary circles, some ofTicers maintaining
that their confrere was justified in his
act, while others condemn his extreme
conduct. London Times.
