One of the richest lions of this city at
the present date looks as if, were he in
Paris at the proper moment, he would
wear bonnet rouge and carry mitrail-
leuse. Farther up in the mountains the
air of this lion would set the fashions not
only of camp but many of its visitors
also. The brigand style is exceedingly
fascinating to the eyes of romantic,
impracticable young woman, and also to
lads with half-grown mustaches. 1 saw
young lady at Georgetown whose eyes
and heart had become entangled with the
man who was too familiar with sharp
knives, and I do not refer to the town
butcher. This lassie secured fine bron-
cho with a scarlet saddle-cioth, and over
her handsome dark-green, gold-buttoned
habit she wore gold-mounted leather
belt, to which was attached a sheathed
knife with guarded hilt. In the band
of her Derby cap she wore o lighter
knife that glistened, both of which
might be useful in her hands if she were
attacked by Colorado grasshopper. In
city terms she openly expressed her adj
miration for the town desperate. "He
couldend would protect woman's honor
with his very life" she lisped to the
stanch fellow who corrallcd her tired
bronchos. Eyes, and kill her, too, when
she was in his way or vexed him, and
that is what he has done more than once,
as we all know, but we cannot prove it.
He'll be lucky if he don't find himself
made into a tassle by Mr.. Lynch some
bright midnight" The poor girl cried a
little, then laid off her belt and knives and
with deep sigh awoke from her bright
dreams.-DenUer Letter to Chicago

Some of the most important inventions
have been the work of mere boys. The
invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by mere boy.
Watts left the engine in very incom-
plete condition, from the fact that he had
no way to open or close the valves, ex-
cept by means of leavers operated by the
hand. He set up large engine at one
of the mines, and boy was hired to
work these valve levers; although this
was not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention. AS he was working
these levers, he saw that parts of
the engine moved in the right di-
rection, and at the exact time that
he had to open or close the valves.
He procured strong cord and made one
end fast to the proper part of the engine,
and the other end to the valve lever; the
boy had the satisfaction of seeing the en-
gine move off with perfect regularity Of
motion. A short time after the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing
marbles at the door, Looking at the en-
gine he soon saw the ingenuity of the
boy, and also the advantages Of SO great
out the boys inventive genius in q prac

perfect automatic working machine.
The power-loom is the invention of a
farmer boy who had never seen or heard
Of such thing. He Whitfield one out
with his jack-knife, and after he had got
it all done, he, with great enthusiasm,
showed it to his father, who at once
kicked it pieces, saying he would have
no boy about him that would spend his
time on such foolish things. The boy
was delighted at the idea of learning a
trade, and he soon found that his new
master was kind and took lively inter-
est in him. He had made loom of what
was left of one his father had broken up,
which he showed to his master. The
blacksmith saw he had no common boy
as an apprentice, and that the invention
was very valuable one He imme-
diately had loom constructed under the
supervision of the boy; it worked to their
perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith
furnished the means to manufacture the
| looms, the boy to receive one-half the
profits. In about year the blacksmith
wrote to the boys father that he should
bring with him wealthy gentleman who
was the inventor of the celebrated power
loom. You may be able to Judge Of the
astonishment at the old home when his
son was presented tohim as the inventor,
who told him that his loom was thes same
as the model that he hcd kicked to pieces
but year before.- Western Trade.

Why Some Americans Like England.

1t has often occurred to me that many
of the New Workers who do not come to
London have kindred feelings, and are
in similar positions to the Londoners
who do not go to New York. Similarly,
it seems to me that the nice people you
meet in America are like the nice people
you meet in England. But" said an
American artist to me discussing these
afiinities. 81 have just come up from
Cookham on the Upper Thames, and
you ask me why we Americans get so at
tached to England when we really get to
know the country. I will tell you. 1t
is settled. 1t is quiet; you can rest
here. L walked from Cookham to Med
menham Abbey. A lovely spot. L and
my companion were the only persons
there. A few callers came, ladies' and
gentlemen boating down the Thames,
and that was all. Quiet, fresh, lovely
meadows, shining river, an abbey
1000 years oil and quiet country hotel
like " private gentleman house. Why,
sir, in my country that hotel would have
been Il great white, staring, modern
palace, with smoking and flirting and
cocktail-making and bowling going on
that would drive you mad Peace,
quiet, finish, the end of things, dream
of old worlds, present of repose where
you may cultivate art and live on a mod
crate income that is why we Americans
love England. ."-English letter to NcsO

Mystery Of Exchange.

Most of our readers are aware that the
quotation of foreign exchange represents
a premium considerably in excess OF the
actual fact ; but we doubt whether all
of them know precisely what is the diff
ference. By the usage of bankers, the
old Spanish dollar is assumed as the par
of exchange, one pound sterling being
equal to four and four-ninths of these
dollars. In point of fact, however, in
the established moneys of Great Britain
and the United States, a pound sterling
containedas much gold as 81. 7of United
States money and this is the true par
of exchange or rate which must be used
in converting the money of one country
into that of the other. For instance: if
ANYTHING costs 9100 in Great Britain, it
true value expressed i'll the money of the
United States is $487. Accordingly, it
is fact, familiar to all bankers, that,
when exchange is quoted at 1904, there
is no real premium, but the true par has
been attained, because, if we multiply
81. A 40, which is the nominal par, by
1904, which is then the quoted rate, we
get 81. 81, which is the true par. We
need scarcely add that it is owing to this
circumstance that the exports of gold
from the United States are not larger.
IF there really existed such a heavy
premium on bills of exchange, as many
persons suppose, it would be immensely
profitable to export gold to Great Brit
ain. In point of fact, in view of the
necessary expenses of freight, insurance
and loss of interest, the margin does not
more than cover the risk. The United
States half-eagle, it may be added, con-
tains 1I6 grains of pure gold, equivalent
to $5 the British sovereign, or pound
sterling, 113 grains, equivalent to $4.87
of United States money.-EcOnOnlis

The barracks in the west of Ireland have
been ordered to be prepared to take full com
piement OF troops. The government has deter
mined to re-enforce the troops in view of the
increasing turbulence growing out of the Land
League agitation, but the Duke of Cambridge,
who is Commander in Chief of the army, has
notihed the government that no troops are at
present available for service in Ireland on ac-
count OF the demands Of India. Parnen has
issued circular to the trrder and farming
classes Of Cork, inviting them to meeting to
be held Saturday next, for the purpose of
establishing Land League on new basis, in

In Lake County, Illinois, lives a family
named Baker, consisting Of father, mother,
and two daughters, the elder fifteen years OF
age. A young man named Sellers was in the
employ Of Mr.. Baker. During the absence Of
Baker, Sellers, who had become very much at
tached to the elder daughter, insisted that she
should promise to marry him. This she re-
fused to do, whereupon he drewa revolver from
bis pocket, and pointing it at dog on the rug,
shot il dead. He then shot the mother and
then the daughter, aged fifteen, after which he
placed the weapon at his own head and shot.
Every shot was instantly fatal. The entire
tragedy was witnessed by the younger daugh-
ter, who tells the above story.

SOCIETY has been aptly compared to
heap of embers, which, when separated,
soon languish, darken, and expire; but if
placed together glow with ruddy and
intense heat-a just emblem of the
strength, happiness, and the security
derived from the union Of mankind. The
savage, who never knew the blessings of
combination, and he who quits society
from apathy or misantllropic spleen, are
like the separated emblers-dark, dead,
useless; they neither give nor receive
heat, they neither love nor are beloved.
70 what acts of heroism and virtue, in
every age and nation, has not the impetus
of affection given rise! 70 what gloomy
misery, despair, and even suicide, has
not the desertion of society led! How
often in the busy haunts of men are all
our noblest and gentlest virtues called
forth! And how, in the bosom of re-
cluse. do all the soft emotions languish
and grow faint!

THE PHOTOPHONE.
How eOund In Reproduced by Light-NO
Connecting Wines Between Stations
T TEpringield Republican. I

,NOnmeettuH HklCA between StAtAOnA
Needed.
Ispringheld Republican,
The latest marvel in applied science is
the discovery by the inventor of the Bell
telephone and Sumner Taintor of Water
town that '' sounds can be produced by
the action of variable light from SUBJ
stances of all kinds, when in the form of
thin diaphrams. In other words, ray
of light is substituted for the connecting
wire, and sounds at one station are repro
duced at another. As is well known the
action of the telephone is due to vibra-
tions in an electric current, caused by
a diaphram set in viabration by the
voice, the current thus modified repro
ducing its vibrations on sesitive dia-
phram at the other end of the circuit.
In the photophone," as the new in
tric current are made during its passage
through selenium, substance heretofore
known only as chemical curiosity, but
with the strange property of conducting
electricity more easily when exposed to
light than when in the dark. A steady
light allows current to pass through an
even resistance; a varied light varies the
resistance, so that the current is stronger
or weaker after passing through the selen-
ium, and its variations are easily turned,
in a telephone, into vibrations of sound.
Prof. Bell and Mr.. Taintor have already
spoken between points about SIX hundred
feet apart, and they believe that the re-
suit can be obtained as far as beam of
light can be flashed. The simplest ap-
paratus of many devised consists of
plane mirror of flexible material, as sill
vered microscope glass or mica, which
will quiver with vibrations of sound On
this is gathered through lens beam
of light from any source, success having
been found with kerosene or candle
flame. The parallel beam reflected from
the plane mirror is thrown to distant
concave mirror and focused on piece Of
selenium, electrically connected with a
telephone. The voice throws the plane
mirror into vibrations which modify in
intensity the ray of light, which rapidly
changes the resistance OF the distant sell
enium, this varying the electric current in
the telephone as the voice now does dl-
| rectly. Another means of affecting the
beam of light is by disk, perfor tied
with Sits, which is rapidly burned, pro-
| ducing in the selenium a continuous
musical tone, whose pitch varies with the
rapidity of the disks rotation, a silent
motion thus producing a sound. A
strange thing is that some substances
placed in the beam of light do not cut off
the sound A sheet Of hard rubber, for
instance, made the beam invisible, but
the musical note was still heard Other
experiments suggest the possibility of
doing entirely without the electric cur
sent in the telephone at the receiving
| station

Adyices from Ouray, Col, say that party
of freishters, in camp on the Cimarron, about
four miles from Cline's rancho, were visited by
q number of Uncompaghre Utes, who demanded
supper. On being refused one of the Indians
attempted to shoot, whereupon freighter
fired, killing an Indian named johnson, son of
chief Chavanaux. The news of the affair was
communicated to- the agent at Los Pinos, at
whose request detail of six soldiers was im-
mediately ordered TO CIine's rancho and the
freighter arrested. While on their way back to
the Agency they we're surrounded by party Of
Indians, who oyerPowered the guard and took
the prisoncrr from them. There is little doubt
but that tn, Indians have murdered the
