Mans Comparative weakness.

1t has been discovered that the flea
can leap two hundred times its length.
Our admiration at this is changed to
astonishment when it is demonstrated
by calculation that if nature had en-
dowed horse with a degree OF strength
similarly proportional to his weight,
he would have been able to clear the
Rocky mountains at bound, and
that with like effort, whale would
be able to leap the height of two hun
bred leagues. What else can be more
unassailable than these conclusions,
founded on weight, measure and cal
culation?
tits true, that if, instead of com
pairing the weight of the horse and
flea, we had compared their heights,
we would have found that the horse
leap would not measure more than
800 metres. Why is preference given
to weight? Because It is the whole
body with its three dimensions and
density that flea hurls to 200 times
its height, and it is the same feat of
strength that we demand in vain of
the horse. Calculations have also
been made TO show, that if a man
could move with speed proportioned
to that Of certain insects, lie would
be able to travel more than ten leagues
minute, or sixty times as fast as a
railroad train.
The Amazon ants, going to battle,
travel from 2, to and II half metres
a minute. The Amazons OF antiquity
to be even with them, Judging by their
relative heights, should have travelled
eight leagues an hour, We have,
however, IN this cnse, to compare the
forces with which given masses move
themselves, and should take account
of weights OF volumes. Ii we pro-
coed by this rule we shall obtain form
idable figures that would stagger the
boldest imaginations. The warlike
inhabitants on the banks OF the Their
medon would have to get over $4,000
leagues an hour. Yet who can deny
the rgor Of the measurements, or the
justice Of the reasoning9--- Pluiay

antiquity Of Cotton.

Cotton, this well nigh indispensable
article to modern civilization, derives
its English name from the Arabic kot-
on. 1t is indigenous to the tropical
regions Of both hemispheres. Her
odotus, 400 years b. c., makes the
first mention of itin history asthe pro-
duct OF trees in India, fleece more
beautiful and delicate than that of
the sheep, and speaks OF cloth made
from it. 1t is quite probable that it
had been known and used IL that
country centuries before that date.
In this country the manufacture OF
cotton cloth appears to have been
well understood by the Mexicans and
Peruyians long before the discovery
Of America by Europeans, Among
the rich presents which Corte receiy-
cd from Montezuma were curtains,
coyerlets, and robes OF cotton, fine as
silk, of rich and various dyes, inter
woven with feather work, that riyaled
the delicaey Of painting, The Mexi.
cans also fabricated the white cotton
cloth and even converted the material

pose The only concession he would
make was to consent to go to Europe

They Spared His Life.

Many years ago when Denver
Iioii have any opera house. and the
nsocky Mountain country was terra
lneognita of the world, there wandered
OUT 10 the region of Fort Benton a
man named Exbeadle, who made
himself unpopular among the Shes.
hones by killing some of their most
prominent men whenever he could
eaten them away from home.
AS a result of this course of pro.
ceedure' Mr.. Exbeadle had a large
private cemetary, and hostilities were
declared by the tribe. 'e' "'''
Mr., Exbeadle was speculator. and
one day fortune threw in his way a
lot of fireworks that didn't meet With
a ready sale and he purchased them
more for his own amusement tbon
anything else. These he put to one
side, and didn't think of them again
until one day there was IL council of
war in the Shoshone tribe, at which
it was resolved to extinguish the Ioht
OF Mr.. Exbeadle and send him across
the mysterious river.
They notified him that the inten.
ton was to make him climb the gold.
en- stair in about fifteen minutes;
western time. 1t looked pretty du.
bious for moment, and he didn't
know exactly what to do, not having
time to consult with COUNSEL.
1t was dark night in autumn, and
Mr.. Exbeadle felt that the morrow
would be of very little interest to him.
Like an inspiration, however, came
the recollection of his fireworks. He
rose and said
Gentlemen of the forest, you APP
parently have the bulge on me, and |
admit you are largely in the majority,
but you do not know me. | am a
medicine man from Michigan, and [
can make it mighty interesting for
you, if you carry this thing too far.
just say this for your own good, and
more in sorrow than in anger. Ii
you take out my yitals and feed them
to the vultures, will linger near you
in the spirit, and | will annoy you
pretty plenty. | am aware that
have planted some of your leading
men in the cold, cold ground; but that
ism t marker to what will perform
when l get out of the flesh, where
won't be delayed by the inclemency of
the weather.
II will now proceed to show you a
few little amateur efforts OF mine as
a medicine man from away back.
Mr.. Exbeadle then let off new
style of sea serpent from slight
elevation. 1t was the biggest thing
in the line of pyrotechnics that was
ever turned loose west OF tho Mis-
souri,. 1t shot out into the dark
about nine feet like carload of deli
rum tremens, and squirmed through
the inky bosom of night like an un.
easy demon in his sleep. The gath
ering warriors of the tribe took one
Mortified look at the kissing emissary
and lit out. Theyleft all the baggage
that didn't happen to be tied to
them and there hasn't been Shes.
hone Indian seen there since.
Mr. Exbeadle picked out the best
ponies belonging to the tribe, loaded
up the rest of the fireworks, and Went
home. He lived many years after,
and became one on the most trusted
Indian peace commissioners known
in western history.
