er to paw attention to their heads, the

Watching a succession OF children
on their way to or from school, we
shall notice some who seem to tip up
the inner side of the foot and step on
the outer edge Of the shoe sole, as II
thus to escape painful pressure else
where. This kind of awkward walk
originates in the wearing Of too short
shoes; others display a firm bat elastic
gait, their feet directed sufficiently
outward. Some place the foot fiat on
tho ground but turn the toes in. As
in other things the majority range
between the best and worst; one or
two in hundred will be 'splay-foot-

to overcome the difficulty or die in the
attempt, and she hit upon a plan
which succeeded admirably. Every
spare five minutes in the day she spent
standing at her chamber window with
her feet extending laterally against

case in less than ten days. As the IN

Where Water Does Not Rain Down,
but Drops in Small Lakes.

While the lack of water in Arizona
is one of the most serious annOyances
to the railroad, the presence of too
much water is one of the railroad
gravest danger. This is easily ex-
planned. paradoxical as it may seem.
The sudden aud furious storms which
change dry gulches into torrents and
surge against the railroad dump with
tremendous force present one of the
most curious and difficult problems in
the maintenance of the railroad You
look out upon a stretch of sand glis-
tening in the sun. Here and there are
assures and channels baked and dry.
Ii is the picture of a dusty, parched
waste. Not a drop of water is to be
seen. Suddenly the sky is covered
like black clouds. The rain descends
like myriads of swiftly advancing
lances. The landscape before and be-
hind is hidden by gray sheets OF wa
ter pouring from the skies. Against
the car windows the raindrops rush
with the violence of bullets. There
is "a savage intensity in the storm
which is rauly appalling. The train
Slackens its speed as though beaten
back bv the onslaught Of the storm
cod. Water enters at the cracks OF
the doors, and you look anXiously at
the windows, exciting them TO give
way before the rush of the tempest.
Presently a lull comes, and you are
enabled to lock out Where is your
parcAed desert2 Along the sides OF
the track leap angry rivers forbid and
foaming, tearing.at the embankmeni
like wild beasts seeking release from
their prison walls, and rushing al
length madly through the cuIyerts

force The dry assures in the soil arr
filled with eddying torrents, the sandy
beds of sunken rivers are covered
with a mighty tide, and the low plains
lie floods of sullen water whose wratl

soon the torrents run more feebly
and in a short time the desert
parched and bare as before.

THE GATLING GUN.
A Remark able Augmentation Of Its
Destructive Power.

During the week just passed a SER
les of experiments have beeu made
with the new and improved Calling
gun at the navy yard, under the dl-
rection of the inventor, DR.. Gatliag,
before a board of naval officers. So
destructive has its efficiency been
made that it may alsost be termed a
peace preserver rather than a demol-
isher The results obtained at the
tests to which the improved gun has
been submitted are almost astounding
in their results.
Single cases of l04 cartridges each
were discharged in less than three sec
onds. and eight cases, or S32 cartrldg-
es, were fred in AZ seconds. Volleys
of 80 cartridges'were fired in six tenths
of a second, as incredible as it may
seem, and over aGo rounds were fired
in rapid succession, and with extraor
binary success. The gun can be fired
the inventor claims, more than / 200
times a inmate, and its destructive
power, whether on the field or behind
walls or i'm situations where any 9TH
en- field piece could not be worked, is
marvellous. 1t can be made to drop
its balls beyond intrenchments with
great accuracy, and at almost dis
lance WITHIN the range of modern
gunnery. 1t can be so directed as tc
fire upward or backward, with equal
facility, a distance of 3, 600 yards. DR.
Gatliug thinks his late improvements
arc as wonderful as the original gun
was considered to be when first
brought out

Silver from Ancient Babylon.
london Atheraeum

The British nus.um has just ac-
quired an interesting selection OF thir-
lynne silver objects, which give an
insight into :he daily life of the Baby
lonians and remind us of the find Of
the bird dealers shop at Pompeii
These objects, which were all found
together on the site of Babylon, con
sist of fragments of silver dishes, the
broken handle of a vase and coins,
most of the latter being defaced and
clipped. 1t is easy to see thatall have
been broken purposely by a practiced
hand. with the view of using the met
al again and we may fairly conclude
that the collection is the remains of a
silversmith's or coiner's shop. Among
the coins is Lycian one IN good pre-
servatiou. So far as can be judged
from the vase handle and dishes the
art is distinctly Babylonian under
Persian influence, and the workshop
may date from the conquest of Alex
auder.

How GOV. Andrew Did it.

Lateone afternoon, after busy day,
when the executive Office people We're

Il am here to see just such people,

1t is also said that here the governor
used mildly profane word. The dis
comhted official of the ante chamber
ushered the old woman into Andrews

inspired by the sympathy of the gov

himself IN bis disabled condition, had
begun selling little rum in ms shan

Bridget through he said: Don't
worry. my good woman; I'll pardon
vour husband tomorrow. She left

Glass for Flooring.
St James Gazette.

i'm many Of the business houses in
Paris, and especially in those of which
the cellars are used as offices, glass is
now being extensively employed, in
stead of boards, for flooring. At the
headquarters of the Credit Nyonnais,
on the Boulevard DIES Italiens, the
whole of the ground floor is paved
with large squares of roughcned glass
embedded in "a strong iron frame, and
in the cellars beneath there is, even
ON duh days, sufficient light to enable
the clerks to work without gas. The
large central hall at the offices of the
Compton d Escompte has lately been
provided with a similar flooring; and
it is said that although its prime cost
is considerable greater than that of
boards, glass is in the long run far
cheaper, owing to its almost mllmit
ed durability The material is east in

Strengthening of the railing on West Third
street above the roller mill, we will prob
ably have occasion to chronicle great
catastrophe on Tuesday morning. The
display of fireworks on the island on Mon
day night will doubtless attract large
crowd of spectators at that point, the most
favorable in the city for observing the ex-
hibition, and as the railing which protects
the street from the precipice below is very
shaky, crush will be apt to break it
down and result in disaster outrivaling
that on the Brooklyn bridge. The services
of few carpenters to-day and the expen-
diture of a small amount of money may
avert terrible calamity.

GEN. BUTLER.

The New York Sun speaks very
loftily in disposing of Presidential candi-
dates. 1t positively rules Samuel j. Til
den out of the list, and is now turning its
attention to Gov. Butler. The Sun speaks
with dictatorial emphasis when it says:
'sThe man who will be nominated by thel
Democracy for President in 1884 will
probably be citizen of Indiana, New
York, Illinois Or Pennsylvania. The Dem
ocrats are not likely to nominate Massa-
chussetts man.
It is even yet too early to speak with de-
cisive confidence as to the ticket that will
be, or ought to be put in nomination next
year. Prudence, wisdom and an intelli,
gent outlook should rule in the selection
of ticket, and there should be no logged,
bigoted and unyielding preference ad-
hered to. The posture of affairs wisely
considered next year should be decisive as
to the selection of ticket. The skies are
bright, the prospects are encouraging, the
supreme opportunity is at hand, and let it
be seized upon with sagacity and patriotic
fidelity, laying aside all schismatic eIe-
mems, and with patriotic IN
sel6shness let all work for
the interests of the party, and the
greatest good of the country. That
good requires a change of national
administration, and that change can be
accomplished next year by the right and
wholesome action of the Democracy.
The suggestion Of the old ticket is meet
ing with much acceptance and favor. 1t
may be wisest and best put it in the field,
but no one should attempt decisively to
settle the question of selection till the
events and outlook of next year are well,

see the son of such father, now occupy
ing high official post of eminence and
distinction. Again it is we'll known that
Mr.. Lincoln's name has been connected
with nomination for the presidency, and
it may be that the people are anxious to
gaze upon him, and see if he
looks like the ''coming man," and to judge
if he is of such stuff as presidents may be
proGtably made of. 1t will be remem-
bered when Andrew johnson, AN accredited
acting president, made his famous ''swing
around the circle' little less than twenty
years ago, he had in his train man
then famous for his silent, unobtrusive
personal demeanor. He said but little
and kept in the background. His name
was Grant. Though johnson strained
every nerve to gain the nomination the
"silent man" supplanted him, and was
nominated in his stead. The question is
significantly asked is history repeating
itself, or is Mr.. Arthur, who evidently de-
sires the nomination, carrying in his
train, in his swing around the Yellowstone
circle, rival who will take the presiden-
tial nomination away from him?

TO-DAY.
AS seen by the detailed report above. the
programme for yesterday was only par
italy completed, only two heats in the
great special race between the trotters
Gen. Hancock, Capt. Pedro and Pedro
having been trotted, while neither the
steeple chase or the five mile dash bycicle
race between John S Prince, champion of
the world, W. F. Higham, champion of
England, and G. S. Robinson, excham-
pion of America, were not call
ed at all. All these events will be
given to-day, with the race for PAGERS with
no records with five starters, and the race
for gentlemen's roadsters, making
one of the most attractive days sports of
the week.
FAIR NOTES.
This day ends it.
Gen. Hancock now has q proud record,
and Lovejoy is happy. He is now the IA
vorite in the special race.
John S Prince wants to run his bicycle
against any horse in Minnesota, twenty
miles for $500 1t is hardly probable
that there is an owner of good horse in
Minnesota who cares 10 drive him twenty
miles for that money.
Howard, the favorite ST. Paul bicyclist,
has failed to show up well thus far in the
racas.
Bicycling is becoming the attractive
feature of fairs and expositions. Nothing
has been so intensely exciting during the
present racing season as the contest be-
tween the champions, Prince and Higham.
This afternoon Prince, Higham and Rol-
linson will ride five-mile dash race for
$500, and it will be an interesting event.
