Remarkable Series of Adventure


LoNpoN, November 18th. A Belgian
named Bosch has just been arrested at
Dover, after remarkable series of advent
ures, and sent TO Belgium to answer a
charge of embezzling about $4,000. Bosch
is a young man, and was commercial tray
eler and collected for a wholesale wine
dealer in Brussels. In March he found
himself in possession of more than 10000
francs of his employers money and abb
seconded with it to England, landing at
Dover; thence he proceeded by easy stages
to Liverpool, spending his money lavishly
along the way. He never made use of
any public conveyance, believing that
watch would be kept upon railway and
other passengers, and it is said that he
walked all the way from Dover to Liver
pool. He took the journey leisurely and
lived riotously all the time, stopping at
different public houses as he came to them
and indulging without stint in every form
of dissipation. When he reached Liver
pool he had only few pounds left, and he
spent the last shilling i'll buying steerage
passengers ticket and outfit in a steamer
bound for New York. He went across the
Atlantic, but being pauper was not al
lowed to land at New York, and was
brought back on the same steamer by
which he went out. and turned adrift at
Liverpool He wanted to return to Bel
GUM, and, having no other resource,
tramped back from Liverpool to Dover,
begging his way at places where few
weeks before he spent money like a prince.
He arrived in Dover ragged, famished and
foOtsore. and, crazed by his sufierings and
exposure, was arrested as an insane vaga-
bond, and at the police station it was
noticed that he answered TO the description

Signs of Trouble.
WILCOX, November 17th-There are
signs of trouble on the San Carlos reserva-
ton between the military authorities and
the stock-men. The military have issued
an order prohibiting cattle ranging on res
ervation lands. The stock-men pronounce
the order arbitrary and uncalled for, as the
stock in no manner interferes with the In
dams. The stock-men say if the military
persist in the order that they (the stock
mem will not allow the Indians outside
the reservation, under penalty of death.
Should the trouble reach such point, there
are great fears of a general outbreak. The
efforts to bridge over the difficulties, which
have existed the past year between the
military and the agent, have partially sue
ceeded. The military reigns supreme, and
the new agent, Mr.. Ford, is expected to
fall into the military ways; but the order
prohibiting cattle grazing on the reserva-
ton will open the old wounds, and should
the stock-men carry out their threats, an
Indian outbreak may be looked for

A HUMMING BIRDS UMBRELLA-In
front of window where | worked last
summer was butternut tree A hum
ming bird built her nest on limb that
grew near the window, and we had an OPP
portunity to watch her closely, as We could
look right into the nest from the window
One day there was very heavy
shower coming up, and we thought we
would see if she covered the nest during
the storm. But when the first drops fell
she came and took in her bill one of two
or three large leaves growing close to the
nest and laid this leaf over so it completely
covered the nest, then she flew away. On
looking at the leaf we found hole in it,
and in the side of the nest was small
stick that the leaf was fastened to or
hooked on. After the storm was over the
old bird came back and unlocked the leaf.
and the nest was perfectly dry H. A. in

THE MICRoscoPE.-A writer on the
manufacture and use Of the microscope
corrects one of the common errors preva-
lent concerning its use, namely, that the
higher the power capable Of being en-
ployed, the more valuable the instrument,
the fact being that equally satisfactory re-
suits are known to have been obtained
with one of 5000 diameters as of 100000
The ordinary work for which physician
uses a microscope requires from 100 to 500
diameters only, while special work can be
done with ease with from 1000 to 5000
diameters Again, times" and diam
eters are not synonymous, the diameter
being, of course, the distance across the
object, so that if an object be magnifed
500 diameters, it is magnified 100000
times, or the square of the diameter, the
difference, in point of fact, between the
two dimensions in measurement, being
quite apparent. The degree of curvature
is what makes the glass magnifer, and
the two kinds of glass used tend to correct
each others inaccuracies. The glass is
cooled so gradually and stirred so con-
stantly as to be perfectly homogeneous
