, "" MJV9W THE RED CLOUD CHIEF, RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCT. 20, 1893. t I 1 f. Oli Jr- toi iffl I DEAD CITY OF THE BALTIC. Yltbjr, In rintland. Which ' Once tm mom Center of Trmtc. Its Mlcnt frniRVfrrown streets nnd the blackened ruins of Its once stately churclicssiiffKcstu mournful retrospect. Yet the Vlsby of to-liiy merits moro at tention than it obtains from visitors to Sweden unci the llnltlc. Its onco fabuloiit weulth luis departed from it. The housewives no longer, ns in the old tradition, uso golden spindles, nor do the hotfs cat from silver troughs; while of the eighteen churches of which the town onco bonstcd seventeen lie in tlrretrlvablo ruin, wrecked, it would seent, rather by the ruthless Bess of man than by Ihe ravages of time. Still Vlsby, even In ruins wo mny nay, indeed, because of its ruins and the associations that cling to them is fall of interest. Its early prosperity was largely duo to the convenient position of Gotland in the llnltic, midway between the Swcillsli and Rus sian coasts. Until the new routes bv tionoa and Venice and by the cape of Good Hopo were established most of the commerce with the cast passed through Jttisnin, and Vlsby ns a place of call becunio so prominent as to gain the name "Queen of the llultlc," or the "Eye of tho Haltlc." Old chroniclers assert that even Solomon in all his glory was poorer in gold and silver nnd precious stones than was this small city. Visby was one of tho first to bo en rolled among tho If ansa town, and took n leading part In the famous league. Its maritime code has served as a model for most of the European navigation laws. From the first the "Bye" of tho Haltlc was mainly directed to business. Its prosperity received royal recogni tion when Henry III. allowed the mer chants of Gotland the privilege of freo trade as regarded purchase nnd traftlc in England. The enterprise of tho traders enabled them to secure a double profit. They betook themselves, with other representatives of the league, to Lon don and established, close to Thames street, a Iiohm called tho Steelyard, which flourished for upward of tlireo centuries. Meanwhile tho population increased rapidly In Vlsby, und tho variety of religions called for the erec tion of numerous churches 'und reli gious buildings. Charitable guilds and hospitals were also established. The monks, after their wont, helped to beautify the town by planting walnut, chestnut, lime and mulberry trees, some of which still thrive. Hut the chief charm of Vlsby lies In Its gray walls, which, as a specimen of ancient fortifi cation, arc utmost unique. Gotland, In tho old days, was a pros perous and important center; but little remains of its former greatness. The aole existing trueo of former independ ence is a stunding army, which belongs exclusively to tho island, and can only bo employed in its defense. Every Got lander, from the ago of eighteen to that of fifty or sixty, may bo culled upon to servo. The active service of tho army are unlikely to lie called upon. Yet of so much Importance is tho island from its gcngruphlcul posi tion and natural defense, that a strate gic point of view from it might readily bo made a padlock from the gulfs of Finland and iSntliuiit. It has oven been declared that by means of Gotland tho Russian navy could lie locked up und tho navigation of tho Haltlc commanded.- Temple liar. THE FIELD-TELEPHONE. An Ingenious Instrument for Uta in Time of War. Tho whole matter of military com munication devolves upon the signal Bcrvlcc, nnd tho signal corps of tho army has, until recently, on iiccountnf assignment to other service, been uble to do little moro than keep informed of tho progress of other nations in tho de velopment f material and methods of conveying intelligence, and to endeavor to judge of tho merits of improvements by ofllco tests rather than field trial. After mnny tests of foreign devices tho government employed tho Hell Telephonu Co. to devise und manufac ture un instrument which it is hoped will meet all requirements for com munication in tho field. In this in strument the principles of tho Eceard lcnapsucic telephone, n previous Amer ican device, und the trumpet telephone of tho German army are combined. It consists of on ingenious arrangement of Hell telephone, Morse key, and bat tery, which ure all contained In a small leather case worn by a strap over the shoulder. Tho wire is colled on u reel in a separate case, und makes a load for miu man. Tho tele phone part is so contrived that the re ceiver und transmitter aro one pleco which may bo hold In place by one hand, tho receiver nt tho ear nnd tho transmitter at tho mouth, while tho other hand manipulates tho key. Tho key takes tho place f tho call-box in an ordinary telephone, and makes a sharp click In tho receiver at tho other end of tho line, which culls tho opera tor's attention, i If desirable, the Instrument mny also bo used to telegraph us well us to tele phone. Conditions might e.lst in action where cannonading and the llko would render It dllllcult to hear spoken words in the telephone. Then it is that the sharp click of the telegraph key spells tho message tlnough tho tele phone receiver lit tho ear of tho opera tor, who hears It ns clearly us If a hun dred miles from tho scene of action. The who used Is light Insulated double conductor, which has n (ensile ntiength that will withstand the strain of being run over by artillery wheels, and may bo safely laid on tho ground. It is usu ally strung ulong fences, however, for rapid work, und on trees und light poleb when practicable. One man can carry about ono and one-half mile of this wire, which would weigh with reel fifty-two pounds. Harper's Weekly.

The sals is a runner who 'keeps in front of u carriage and warns common people out of the way, anil who beats them with a stick If they do not hurry up about it. Ha is a relic of the days when the trnfltc In nil of the street" was so congested that he was an ab solute necessity; now he makes It pov sible for a carriage to move forward at ti trot, which iwithout liU aid It could not do. It Is obvious that to do this he must run swiftly. Most men when they run Jiend their bodies forward nnd keep their mouths cIomh! in order to save their wind. The snis runs with his shoulders thrown back' and trumpeting like an enraged elephant. He holds his long wand at his side like u musket, anil not trailing in his hand like n walking-stick, and he wears a soft shirt of white stuff, and n sleeveless cout burled In gold lace. Ills breeches are white, und ns voluminous ns a woman's skirts; they fall to a few inches above his knee; the rest of his leg Is bare, and rigid with muscle. On his head he has n fez with a long bluck tassel, and magnificent silk scarf of many colors Is bound tightly around his waist. He Is a perfect Ideal of color and move ment, and as he runs he liellows like a bull, or roars as you have heurd u lion roar nt feeding-time in a menagerie. It Is not a human cry at all, and you never hear It, even to the last day you stay in Cairo, without a start, us though it were n cry of "help" at night, or tho (mlck-clangiug liell of a fire-engine. There is nothing else in Cairo which is so satisfying. There lire sometimes two of them run ning inbreast, dressed exactly alike, and with the upper part of their bodies us rigid as the wand pressed against their side, nnd with the cuds of their scarf and the long tassel streaming out behind. As they yell and Iwllow, don keys and carriages and people scramble out of tliclr way until the carriage they precede has rolled rapldlv by. OnlV princesses of the royal harem, and consuls-general, and tho heads of the army of occupation nnd the Egyptian army are permitted two sals; other people may have one.

Uurper's Weekly. THE PORPOISE. Oplnlou of nunhir.il Men In IttRard to lilt Commercial Vitlus. Kcports have como from around Que bec of a business enterprise for the catching of tho porpotse. In n section of the gulf where they are very plenti ful colossal nets aro to be spread for their capture. Tho porpolso has often been caught before. Capitalists havo coraled him in quantities while deporting himself near Wilmington, Del., for instance. Hut to these samo capitalists he has ever proved much of a white elephant. Commercially ho has been unsuccess ful, and it is pleasing to noto that lie is so far appreciated to-day that a band of moneyed men arc again to push him forward. It is a difficult thing to find a porpoise man in New York city. In the business world tho porpolso is out. Hut a fish-oil man thus speaks of him: The catching of the porpolso is some thing that has never paid. When dead ho Is useful In certain ways, but never sufficiently so. Under his skin is a layer of fat the blubber which is mudo into an ordinary fish oil, such as menhaden, selling at twenty-five cents a gallon. Tho only reully valuable oil about hint is within the jawbone. That oil Is very fine. It sells at from three to four dollars a gallon and when care fully refined very much higher. Hut, of course, per porpoise, there Is n very unall quantity of that. Of the ordinary oil about ten porpoises are needed for u barrclful. It is used for the same purposes that other bh nils ure -lubricating, tho curing 'of leather and the lighting of mines. Hut, ho concluded, tho amount of porpolso oil ucliially used Is so smull that wo oil men never tukc it into consideration at all. Tho porpoise's hide is regularly tanned for boot and shoe use. It Is too wet und oily a leather to becomo a material for bugs, pocketboolts and tho like. Cut Into strips for shoe strings it has met with some favor. Hut othcrwiso It Is not wanted. Ilecontly a man in the swamp, who used to lie iii tho porpolso business, said. "Don't talk porpoise tome, sir; there is nothing in them nowadays. Years ago wo thought there was going to be, but no. In my stock now I huvo sev eral thousand porpolso hides that I would bo glad to sell, but nobody wuiitH them. If this new company is going to capture them by not it will havo a job on Its hands. For tho por polso !su wriggler and tho porpoKo is very strong, und the net will have to bo of the heaviest wiro und tightly woven loguther." The porpolso hore referred to is just the plain ordinary porpolso such as one muy see not fur from New York und ei en tit times In Now York bay itself. Thero Is another kind of porpolso known us tlu "white whale," from twelio to fourteen feet long, of u cucl mine whiteness fiom tip of tail to head. Hut he is, strictly speaking, un arctic purpolso and seldom if ever gets so far south as tho gulf of St. Law rence. Tho ordinary species is but half tho length, and oven less, of the "white whale."

It is amusing to see how thoroughly a Frenchwoman is a natural match maker, and how she supposes that tho search for u "bon parti" must ever bo uppermost in the mind of a properly regulated young woman. At a dinner in Paris, given by u hostess noted for tact und elaborate entertainments, tho pretty woman, convoying u tall, awk ward youth, flittteied up to un Amerl Bin girl, saying: "Allow mo to pre sent .Monsieur N., Miss X.; he is to have the pleasure of taking you out to dinner" adding in a quick little "aside" behind her fan, "lie is worth ten million fumes, my dear." At tho table MissX. diseoveted her escort to bo decidedly uninteresting, while her oth er neighbor. Monsieur T., proved to bo most amusing, though n middle-aged, plain little man. To him she devoted herself throughout tho dinner, continu ing the conversation afterward in tho drawing-room, where tho neglected Cnosus promptly deserted her. A shoit time after, when tnakinir her dinner cull, the American girl remark-1 ed to her (hostess that shu had found ' Monsieur T. such n clever man. '(), yes, qulto a clever little man; but what did you think of Monsieur N?" in quired mtidame. "Ho was rather young, and there I didn't seem to be anything particular-1 ly interesting nbout him," replied, Miss ' X., imping to excuse her evident neg-' ieet of her escort nt tho dinner.

Some of you may have heard tho say ing "as flat asn flounder" and have not Rtoppcd to thlnk. What I wish to tell , h t fl , , , d , t ,,., ,'. ,. i it-. iW'.IIO l.VMUTU tt - ltV If you have ever seen ono in market or elsewhere, you know Hint the upper and under parts of its body nre of dif ferent colors, and that its two eyes are, strangely enough, both on the samo side of the head. If you were to see one In the water you would notice that it swam not upright, ns other fish swim, but lying over on one side, with its eyes on top. Now all theso things tho flatness, the two eyes together, the twisted mouth, the different colored sides, the peculiar swimming come from the fact that the flounder is not nnd never has been an over uruvc fish. We enn not blame the poor creatures much, le cause they have no way to de fend themselves as swordflsh and some others have. Their neigh bors enjoy cnting them. They know that they are weak, and so they took, ages ago, to hidlnng nt the bot tom of the water. This has been dono no long that now they havo actually lost tho power to como to the surface. Other fish rlso nnd sink by means of nn air bladder. Those of our friends that used theirs and rose were pounced upon nnd eaten. The poor scared ones that hid nt the bottom and saved their liven hud no need of the rising apparatus, and now, ns is always the case when nn organ Is not used, they have lost it. Hut when the flounder took to his hiding place at the bottom he did not settle himself at all comfortably, ac cording to our ideas of fish comfort. Instead of nn upright position, with the two sides equally up, ho chose for some reason to He over entirely on one of them, with the other side up. This position accounts for the dilTcrcntly colored sides. Thnt on which he lay was protected always from tho sunlight and lost its eolor. Tho upper has come to be the color of tho bottom on which he lives, be that color what It may. That It should bo so is not so strango as it seems. A bright flounder shining on a dark bot tom Is easily seen by its enemies, nnd seized nnd entcn. The same would bo true of n dark fish in a bright coral house. Those who lived to have fami lies of their own were those whoso color was most like tho color of their home. Only the dullest color was transmitted, and so, tho world over, members of this family nro the color of sand, or mud, or gravel, or shell, or coral, according to the place of their abode. Some are even knotted and rough in n way that makes them won derfully like their home. Wo find, for the same reason, urctic animals white like snow and desert insects tho color of sand. Another result of the flatness of this flatfish fumily to which the flounder belongs Is that its eyes aro both on the top of Its head. We can best see how they have got together, and how other changes have taken place, by noticing tho growth of a young flounder. In tho very beginning of its existence tho baby fish Is a clear, transparent little thing. Its two eyes are whero well regulated eyes should be, on opposlto sides of the head, and it swims vertical ly in the water, as do other llsh. Hut in a few days the influence of a long line of flounder ancestry Is felt. He, too, tukes to lying on ono side, gener c rally, but not always, tho left. Tho exposed skin darkens. In this position the view of tho under eye is somewhat limited, und it squints upward toward a larger one. It begins to move; it turns the corner und comes to tho top. There it takes a stand. The mouth twists upward and the young fish swims ulong sldcwisc on thu bottom. Uur per's Young People. A SHREWD EASTERNER. Hit Method of Laud Urnbttlng Wero Unique If Not Cuinmrndnbto. "There nro devices practiced in the fnr west," observed un Omaha mnn recently, "for making money; devices that appeal to tho enterprising and in genious citizen, and that arc, by u long way, moro ingenious than commenda ble. "Kvorj- now nnd then," ho went on, ",i shrewd easterner sees an unlooked for opportunity to get ahead in the west. Ho generally intends to remain just long enough to get a big bank ac count and then to return homo and spend his money. Oftcncr than not, he does not return, nnd tho west, par ticularly tho 'new west,' Is recruited with just such eastern adventurers. "There Is a man living on u claim near tho frontier town of Hecln, Wyo., whoso career so far has been pre eminently successful. "Less thnn u year ago ho took out a land cluliu for six hundred acres. He had his eye upon the land adjoining his own, where un old frontiersman lived ulono with his daughter. "Tho shrewd easterner gained the favor of the old man by winning his way into tho daughter's affections nnd afterward marrying her. "Ho then put his fnther-in-law into tho way of stealing sheep that had wandered from neighboring ranches, elnlmlng thnt they wcro communistic property. Hoth wero arrested, as the 'business' man know and intended they should be. Tho lnttcr then turned stnto'H evidence nud'wns set free. "That was part of his well-formulated scheme. While his father-in-law was serving out his sentence in prison the easterner jumped tho old man's claim, hired nn unscrupulous neighbor to run nway with his wife and ob tained a divorce on tho ground of do eertlou. "He now sinoken tho pipe of peace as ho surveys his broad acres and con gratulates himself upon his shrewd ness. He will probably return oust some day.
