was more energy than in II ounces of coal which could have been brought from Paris in vest pocket or sent there in let ter. Thus it appears that the weight of the same amount of energy in the new form is 800 times greater than the equivalent amount of coal, and he argues that as matter of economy such stored energy could not be successfully used ten miles from it's source
 If this is the utmost that can be done Pro lessor Reynolds thinks this discovery of stor- ed electricity s'adds another door to those which are helplessly closed against the pos sibility of finding in Niagara or other water power 8 substitute for coal, even when the object is motive power, and much more for that purpose for which fve-sixths of our coal is used-the production of heat"
 Recent advices from Honolulu indicate that the worst of the smallpox scourge is over. During the four months ending June 4 there were 764 cases reported of which about 36 per cent. resulted fatally. It is be- ieved that the mortality would not have been so great had not the greater part of those who were attacked been already afflicted with other loathsome diseases. The Board of Health enforced strict quarantine and thus prevented the infection from spreading to the other islands. Unfortunately bovine virus was scarce, and hence vaccination could not be uniformly enforced, the Board having forbidden the use of human virus through fear of communicating other diseases. On this point the opinion of Mr. Carter, president of the Board, is significant and in deed startling, if he has an adequate basis for his conclusions. It is his belief that of nearly 500 lepers sent to the leper settlement subsequent to the last smallpox epidemic, probably 600 became thus diseased through vaccination with human virus. During the prevalence of the scourge which has just subsided, strong complaints were made that the Chinese concealed cases of the disease until they became hopeless and then turned them over to the Board of Health in order to escape the cost of burial and any unpleasant complications which might otherwise have arisen from the discovery of 8 corpse.

THE POINTERS JOKE.
New York Times.1

The dog had pointed at snakes,
without ever once having made q
mistake. for three years, when one
day last September he accompanied
his master through a particularly
stony field, where snakes were
knswn to be plentiful. Suddenly
the dog. who was walking Just in
front OF the huntsman. stopped and
pointed SO earnestly that it was
evident he had almost stepped on a
snake. The huntsman spi ang back
with immense eelerity-tcr he was
. very nervous man-and in SO do
ing ripped and fell with tre-
mendous crash. The Cog, merely
CHANGING around to see what was
the matter, resumed his point until
bis master bad picked himself MP,
caimed biz mind. and resolved to
kill the snake. advancing with that
dirsful purpose, he discovered, not
q snake, but cast-of snakes skin,
at which the dog had pointed. The
moment the man discovered the
trick. the dog threw himself on his
back, rolled over and over in az
uncomfortable fit of laughter. and
finally, sitting down on his launch
ss. he laughed till the tears rolled
DOWN bis cheeks. He knew snakes
kin from q live snake perfectly
we'll, and bis purpose i1 pointing
1t the skin was simply to give his
master u good fright.

The opinion is general among stock
operators. says the Toledo, Ohio, Blade,
that Vanderbilt and Gould are working
together TO produce a panic. Both
have sold stocks at high figure; and
it would not be an unpleasant thing to
see the prices broken down so that they
could buy these back at cheap rates.
This is the explanation now given OF
the railroad war, now raging so savage
ly. and which we are told will contin-
ne TO rage until the market be broken.
The probability increases that there will
be q stock panic early in September,

The Killing of Spotted Tail.
Deliberately Planned Assassination This
Caisf Coaspiraion in Custody.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Indian
Agent Cook sends to the Indian bu-
reau an account of the killing Of Spot
ted Tail and the arrest of the murder
err, Grow. Dog, and his accomplice
Black Grow, both head men Of the
Brule Sioux. They have been sent to
Fort Niobrara, and will he held there
until the arrival of a deputy United
States marshal from Deadwood, when
they will be turned over to the terri
torial authorities for trial. The agent
says that further investigation has
convinced him that the murder was
committed in pursuance of q well-ma-
tured plan to get rid of Spotted Tail.
The Iingleader was Black Crow, who
now makes no secret Of his intention.
His ambition was to hold Spotted
Tails position. In connection with
the subject of q head chief over the
entire people Agent Cook says: The
position of head chief is hindrancc
to civilization. The main object Of
this parsonage is to centralize all pow
er in himself. To do this he must
strive to continue tribal relations to
prevent bis people scattering owe, the
reservation for the purpose of taking
up allotments OF land, he must gather
them in villages, where they can keep
alive their barbarons customs, dances,
&c. In short, to retain his hold as
chief over the nation he must net in
opposition to the measures adopted by
the government for the ultimate CIV
ilization of Indians Tho minor
chiefs are already squabbling for the
office, but Agent Cook recommends
that no successor to Spotted Tail be
appointed that his son, young Spot
ted Tail, be recognized rs chief of his
own immediate band, and that at any
time representative Of the tribe shall
be desired at Washington for confer
ring upon the interests Of this people,
he shall be chosen with special refer
ence to his intelligence and loyalty to
the government. Of this the agent
would be the best judge.
