MINE OWNERS EMPLOY A SEER.
Agree to Give $100,000 to Man Whe
Uses Divining Rod.
Several Texas mine owners In com
bination have contracted with Henry
Zachary, a young man living at Lock
hart, to go with them to Alaska to
locate gold veins for them. The con
tract covers a period of ten years, for
which he is to receive $100,000. They
believe that he has powers of divina
tion and say that his abilities in this
direction were discovered a year ago
when he was taken to the gold fields
of California and Colorado, where he
unerringly located veins of gold. In
Iierforming his wonders he carries
with him a slender rod; in one end of
which is set a piece of the precious
metal, and as he passes over a vein
this apparently connects the currents
through his hands, which perceptibly
quiver.

Value in Unpunctuality.
An English railway man. who work

was never on time, and he declared
that this characteristic was carefully
olanned and cultivated. "Sharehold
ers drop into a meeting," he said, "and
find the chairman in his place and the
business going on, and it confirms
their impression that you are a party
of nobodies who have come there for
their convenience. I like to let them
wait until everybody is there and till
all the restive ones have asked, 'What
are we waiting for?' and receive the
answer, 'Mr. Forbes.' Then you come

any rate."

I AFRAID OF THE HOODOO.
Superstitious Negroes Fled Until It
Was Removed.
Deputy Constable Frank Fenn of
Houston, Tex., went the other after
noon to execute a writ of forcible ejec
tion against a negro woman. He
took with him two negroes who were
to carry away the furniture. Fenn
was absent a few minutes and when
he returned his negroes were not to
be seen. He got a glimpse of them
about two blocks away moving at a
very swift gait
Thinking that perhaps the men had
stolen something, he took after them.
When stopped the negroes said that
they would not work in that house,
that It wa3 hoodooed. Being urged
they told him they would return if he
would go into a certain corner of the
house and remove the hoodoo, which
he would find tied up in a bag hang
ing from the ceiling.
The officer found the bag. It con
tained bones tied up with kinky wool
and hairpins. The woman said she
could cast a spell over her enemies
with it, because the bones were those
of a black cat, while the wool was
that shaved from' the head of a, negro
born on Friday, the thirteenth day
of the month.
The negroes would not return to
work until the officer had taken the
bag of bones about a block away from
the house, and even then they had
misgivings as to whether or not it
would be safe to touch anything in the
house.
Sugar Does Not Injure Teeth.
There is a prevalent notion that if
children are allowed to eat sugar they
will have bad teeth as a consequence.
There is no foundation whatever for
such a notion. The negroes of the
West Indies are excessive consum
ers of sweets. They eat an enormous
amount of sugar cane, molasses and
raw sugar. Yet these people have par
ticularly fine teeth. Whatever other
injuries sugar may be capable of
doing to the human system, it is very
certain that it does not do any in
jury to the teeth, either in old or
young persons. Medical Talks.
English Fighting Beetles.
There are beetles In England (of
the family known to scientists as Tel
ephoridae) that are popularly called
soldiers and sailors, the red species
being called by the former name and
the blue species by the latter. These
beetles are among the most quarrel
some of insects and fight to the death
on the least provocation. It has
long, been the custom among English
boys to catch and set them fighting
with each other. They are as ready
for battle as gamecocks and the vic
tor will both kill and eat his antag
onist St Nicholas.
Near Perpetual Motion.
Lieut Hillbouse of the British navy
writes thus of an old water wheel on
the island of Cephakraia, off the west
coast of Greece; "The peculiar part
of it is that this wheel is worked by
the sea, which is led through a small
conduit the water tumbling down into
a fair-sized hole, whence it disap
pears into the earth. It thus seems
as if perpetual motion can be ob
tained here; but I believe, although I
have never noticed it that too great
an 'inrush of water will fill up the
hole before it has time to absorb it

TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS.
War Cloud Lowering in That Part ef
' the World.
In his estimates for the annual
budget of the Austro-Hungarian em
pire, Count Goluchow8ki proposes the
expenditure of many extra million dol
lars on the army and navy. Until
this startling demand for an increase
was made everybody supposed that
Austria saw nothing ahead of her
which might disturb her peace, but
immediately upon the submission of
Goluchow8ki's estimates European
politicians began to wonder for what
trouble Austria was looking. By a
process of elimination they finally ar
rived at the conclusion that Austria
must have designs on the Balkans.
The Austria-Russia plan of reform
for the Balkans has failed. Russia
is sufficiently engaged in the far east
to keep her hands tied. Austria feels
that it is a propitious momeat to go
ahead to Salonica.
But Italy objects to Austria touch
ing any part of Albania on the east
coast of the Asiatic Italy herself
feels that she has reversionary Inter.
ests there. If Austria started to "re
form" Albania, Italy would Interfere.
Hence both Italy and Austria are now
arming; and the annual Balkan war
cloud has begun to lower.

Vote on Vacation Question.
The summer vacation In French
high schools begins on Aug. 1 and
ends on the last day of September.
As July is a very warm month, U was
suggested that it would be better to
have the vacation extended from July
15 to Sept 15. The matter was put to
a vote; 36,000 parents voted for the
change, 26,000 against it Of the
teachers, on the contrary, only 2,500
voted for the change and 5,300
against it On the assumption that
the teachers .were wiser than the par

matters as they are.
Secret of Military Success.
One of the favorite maxims of Gen.
Grant and one certainly in accord
with human nature, was that in every
closely contested battle there comes
a time when both sides are exhaust

said, the army that first breaks the

to win. A blow then is worth a doz

where directed. It fell, instead, upon
thousands of union workmen in the
hills, who, although engaged for the
eight hour day, were ordered to cease
work in those mines that supplied the
offending smelters with ores. The
result in many camps waa a walk
out
The succeeding result was .an at
tempt on the part of the owners to
reopen their mines with nonunion
labor. In the part that labor and poli
tics play in Colorado, the adminis
tration of civil duties falls, In maay
mining cities and towns, upon au
thorities who are out of sympathy
with nonunion methods. Thus the
owners of mines . were harassed xln
many ways. There were mysterious
disappearances. People .unsympa
thetic with the cause of the strikers
were driven from communities. Final
ly, mine buildings were blown up
with dynamite, and mine workings
destroyed.
In this crisis the mine owners ap
pealed to the governor of Colorado
for protection. The situation was
strained at three points in Teller
county, where are the mining camps
of Victor and Cripple Creek; at Tellu
ride in San Miguel county, and at
Idaho Springs in Clear Creek county.
In the last place union workmen sus
pected ot btoigktg up the Sun aad
Moon mine property were driven
from town by the citizens, of the
alace. This drastic action Is worth
noting, for, as a result of the high
state of feeling In Colorado, It was
upheld In the popular opinion. . At
all events, txpops were not needed
at Idaho Springs. ,
Gov. Peabody declared martial law
in Teller and San Miguel counties
early in December. Some of the mil
itary proceedings in each of these
counties appear to have been extreme
but Gov., Peabody has declared that
no defense of his actions is needed.
Union leaders were arrested, and In
some cases these leaders were deport
ed. State courts were aoppealed to
by members of the union who felt
the power of the military law, but
the rulings of these courts had no
effect on the representatives of the
state government. Injunctions were
merely ignored. The governor con
tended for these points:
1. That he had sole power to deter
mine when a state of Insurrection ex
isted in any county in the state.
2. That the courts had no power to
interfere with his exercise of this pre
rogative. 3. That he had the right to use the

NAVAL LESSONS OF THE WAR.
Struggle in the East Shows New
ncinoos necessary.
i.'1?e.present war has demonstrated
that In operations around harbor
mouths torpedo boat destroyers and
mines are useful both for the attack
ers and defenders. Harbors, to be
well defended, must be well provided
with torpedo boats and mines. An
attacking fleet directed against an
22? " ln belng" ,y,n In
hostile harbor must likewise be well
provided with torpedo boats and
mines.
But for the mastery of the high
seas big ships which carry big guns
are necessary. On the open ocean.
when a 8torm Wows up torpedo flo.
Ulla would be useless on a distance
cruise.
Big ships are necessary to protect
commerce, to destroy commerce, and
to convoy army bearing transports
Ships which can carry big guns are
nseful in joint land and naval at
tacks. The Japanese naval artillery
demoralized the Russian left on Nan
shan hill and made the success of the
final assault possible.
But what kind of big boats arc
best? The nresent Irfnrt nr k,i
ahips or the present kind of armored
wuiaen.' Ur could not some' new
kind of big warship be adopted which
would be better than either? The
modern armored vessels are built tc
resist shells namely, attacks above
water. All their defensive arrange
ments have been put above the water
Una Torpedoes and mines attack,
below the water in tha nni.in.t
regions where no defense has been
prepared. In naval operations near
harbor mouths.where the use of mines
and torpedoes is feasible, the offense
has now distinctly gained the advan
tage. The inventors must now de
vise a better means of submarine de
fense. Perhaps they will resort to diplo
macy for one thing and obtain inter
national assen-. to the proposition
that no mine may bedald outside the
three mile limit. Perhaps they will
construct a new and more perfect tor
pedo net to envelop the hull of the
ship. Perhaps they will lighten the
upper works of the ship and give ad
ditional buoyancy to the whole, so
that contact with a mine will not re
sult in immediate sinking. Certainly
they will hereafter furnish all ar
mored ships with a more complete
searchlight system to discover hostile
torpedo boats, and a more effective
rapid fire system todestroy them.
Admirals will learn the lessons al
ready assimilated by generals and
will marshal their forces in more ex
tended order, throwing before them
a thicker screen of scouts.
