Fort Benton is the head of navigation

Origin of Chess.

Chess is such an ancient game that
its origin is unknown. Many OF the
most learned Oriental scholars have
written upon the subject, appealing to
history and philology to support their
theories. 1t has been ascribed to a
Chinese mandarin by the name of Han
Sing, who, it is said. invented it as an
amusement for his soldiers when in
winter quarters, about ia B. G. They
call it " the play of the science of war .
Sir William Jones, the great Sanscrit
scholar, claimed that Hindoo traditions,
the names of the pieces, and other
particulars indicate that chess was
played in India in the earliest times.
He writes that learned Brahmin as
sured him that it was mentioned in
several of the oldest books of India,
where it was declared that it was in
vented by the wife of one Of the most
ancient kings of Ceylon to amuse that
monarch while Rama was besieging
his metropolis. This, by their
reckoning, was 1000 to 5000 years
before the commencement of our era.
On lno OLneT ndllu, several ldleT SCnuldrS
of Sanscrit think it was invented in
India by Buddhists some time between
the third and ninth centuries, A. D., a
theory inconsistent with the unwarlike
nature of Buddhism and the fact that
the Hindoo name Of the game, "chatu-
ranga," is military name, signifying
the game of armies, corresponding with
the Chinese name for chess, given
above. Others have ascribed this
game to the Babylonians. Persians,
Scythians, Egyptians, Jews. Greeks, or
Romans, according to their several
theories, but the weight of evidence is
in favor of its being of Inlian or
Chinese origin, and this is now the
generally acc c1pted belief.

A Rattle i'm the Air.

A man tells of a terrific battle he
witnessed between two California
eagles. The birds had come together
in the air, about the tree tops, and one
was trying to get hold of jack rabbit
the other held in its claws. They
would fly at each other with tre-
mendous force. screeching and scratch
ing like wildcats. The air was filled
with flying feathers and the sport was
an immense sight to the spectator, who
sat on the fence watching it. Finally
the eagle with the rabbit dropped his
prey and pitched in for all he was
worth. He knocked his foe out in the
second round. and then swooping to
the earth, he took hold of his rabbit
and sailed away to the top of an old
oak tree. The dead eagle fell to the
ground and was picked up by the
young man who saw the fight.

The Queens Palaces,

A London letter says: From re-
cent parliamentary return, it appears
that there are fifteen royal palaces for
which taxpayers of Britain have to
provide. OF these, however, only one,
namely, Windsor, can really be said to
be inhabited. When the queen is not
there she resides either at Osborne or
Balmoral, which are both her private
property. Buckingham palace, that
huge Pile of buildings in Hyde park,
which cost her 100000 to build, is
only used for a few days at a time for
drawing-room concerts and other court
gatherings. 1t is not inhabited by
any of the royal princes, for whom
special r sciences are provided at
the public cost, in addition to their
allowance of e25.0OO a year. This
year $4,000 has been expended in keep
ing up Windsor, $1,000 on that anti
quated and perfectly useless old struc-
ture known as st. James palace, and
nearly 81 900 on the stables of Hamp-
ton Court palace. But beside these
extra allowances, the country is also
asked to pay $4,000 for the kitchen
garden at Windsor, $50 for paving
the royal cow-house, and e125 for the
Prince of Wales gas bill. Then there
is salary to a functionary known as
the "royal rat-catcher," and another
to the assistant keeper of the privy
purse"

Wanted Windows.

Mr.. Bright's appalling statement as
to the number of families in Glasgow,
living in only one room apiece, is
capped by the statistics of overcrowd-
ing in French cities, given by M. Ma
daud, in support of his bill dealing
with unhealthy tenements. According
to NJ. Nadaud there are 219,270 houses
in France without any window what
ever, and to which light and air are
admitted, when admitted at all, only
through the door, or hole in the door,
which has to be stopped in wet or cold
weather. Allowing five people to a
family, more than 100000 persons
altogether must be housed in this exc
cradle fashion. In Paris, although
$4,000 tenements have been dealt with
in the last thirty years under the act
of 1850, there are still between three
ard four thousand families living in
single rooms without means of warm
ing, and between two and three thou
sand in single rooms with no aperture
for light and air-cup5oards in fact.
Between twenty-five and thirty thou
sand habitations consist Of single
room only. This side of the social
question" says the report from which
these statistics are drawn, "has to be
faced before all others "a conclusion
which is gradually forcing itself on
the minds Of men in other countries
beside France.-PaI Mall Gazette.

Tornado s.

A tornado is engendered by the meet
ing of two currents of air of different
temperatures and moving from op-
poSite, or AT least from different, direc-
tions. The meeting of the air currents
give the rotary motion to the resultant
wind storm, and the cooling of the
warm current produces the clouds and
precipitation of moisture, and these,
together with the rapid whirling of
the air around a center, develop the
startling electrical manifestations
which are incidental to these storms
and constitute very large element in
their destructive agency. Tornadoes
are almost invariably developed in the
southwest quadrant of an area of
low barometric pressure. In almost
all cases, previous to the inception of
any given tornado the wind has been
found blowing from southerly quarter
SOUTH of the central area of the lowest
aerial pressure, and also from north
erly quarter-north of the same central
area of low pressure, for a period of
from five days to two weeks. In the
vast "area of frequency" comprising
the great basin west of the Mississippi,
and including Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, these conditions may
prevail until the thermometric range
on opposite sides-north and south of
the central area-frequently reaches
fifty degrees. With this north and
south thermal belt of high contrasts is
joined an immense range of country
containing nothing t. oppose the free
sweep of air currents, and the un-
hindered disturbance of atmospheric
equilibrium due to the contact of the
! southeastern return trade winds from
the equatorial regions with the north
western winds from polar regions,
results in an enormous tornado center
in theStateS mentioned In this center
arise the May and June tornadoes
which have become source of constant
terror to the people of this region.
There are two other "areas OF
frequency" in the United States-New
York and Georgia. The first is due to
a similar contact of the warm winds
of the great lakes met and opposed by
the cold northerly winds of the Canadas
From this center sprang the Walling.
ford (CoDn.l tornado of August 9, 1873,
in which the contrasts of temperature
ranged from thirty to sixty degrees
The Atlantic, or Georgian, center is
due, of course, to the formation of a
similar thermal belt of high contrasts,
occasioned by the warm, moist gulf
winds sweeping over the heated plains
of Georgia and Alabama, and then COM
ing in contact with the cool winds OF
the Appalachian mountain system
Here are born the great wind storms
and cyclones that sweep northward

Buried in a Strange Manner,

There has been discovered about
twelve miles below Elberton, Ga, a
very peculiar mode of burial adopted
by some ancient race of people. 1t was
an earthen vessel somewhat in the
shape of pot with a capacity of ten
or twelve gallons. This was buried in
the ground, the top four or FIVE feet
beneath the surface +; in the bottom of
the vessel was round hole that encir-
cled the neck of the corpse, the head
being in the vessel and the body be-
meath it, the vessel being evidently
made around the neck. Inside of this
vessel was a smaller one made with
scallops around the top; this was
placed bottom side up, over the skull.
The skull was pretty we'll preserved.
The teeth indicated a child about

A Fruitful Discussion.

The Early Peach came to place
where four roads met. He slapped his
chest with his stem and looked to the
east and the south.
Bismillah !" he cried, "I am the
boss, and ] drive the ambulance
The little Green Apple came down
the long rold from the west, and
heard him. He bowed to the north
AID he bowed to the west.
Il am the son of the cyclone" he
shouted, land l travel with my own

BY the camel of Mohammed,' said
the Early Peach, "I am the friend of

"Come to the wake" shrieked the
little Green Apple, "and you may cal
me tie harmless pawpaw of the will
derness if l cannot double up the man
who planted you."
Then they looked down the four long
roads and waited for some one to prac-
tice on. From the east came a fair
young girl from Vassar college, and up
from the south came a gray-haired
African.
"Take you the fair student" said
the Early Peach.
"Not l." said the little Green Apple;
81 didn't come here to attempt i'm

that girl has sat at surreptitious mid
night lunches; she has broken up a

So they let many people pass by un-
harmed-the old, the tough, the wary
and the well seasoned. But when the
day was far spent, coming down the
long road from the west, they saw a
ruddy boy, the pride and Joy of his
home, and the torment of his teacher.
Whistling merry roundelay he came.
his face as rosy as the glowing west,
his heart as light as thistle down.
He was their meat.
The Early Peach and the little Green
Apple set their teeth and breathed
hard as he came near.
"Nowr' they shrieked, and with
livid hate they fiercely sprang upon
him.
In two short minutes that boy had
both of them down. and as lie cracked
the peach-pit to get at the "goody,"
he said:

The Early Peach, with dying gasp,
turned and said:
