A Small Boys Ingenuity.

The invention of the valve motion
to steam engine was made by mere
boy. Newcomers engine was in
very incomplete condition, from the
fact that there was no way to open or
close the valves except by means OF
levers operated by hand. He set up
large engine at one end of the mines.
and boy Humphrey Potter) Was
hired to work these valve levers. AL
though this is not hard work, yet it
required his constant attention. As
he was working the levers he saw that
parts of the engine moved in the right
direction, and at the same time he had
to open and close the valves.
He procured a strong cord and
made one end fast to the proper part
of the engine and the other end TO the
valve-lever, and the boy had the sat
isfaction of seeing the engine move
with perfect regularity of motion. A
short time after the foreman came
around and saw the boy playing mar
bles at the door. Looking at the en-
CINE, he saw the ingenuity of the boy,
and also the advantage of his inven-
ton. The idea suggested by the boys
inventive genius was put into practic-
al form, and made the steam engine
an automatic working machine:-

An officer Of cremation company,
when asked by reporter for partlcu-
lars regarding the mode Of disposing

remark, said that from all observations
cremation is destined at no distant
day to supersede the practice of grave
burials because il had none OF their

contact OF flame or fuel with the BODY,

no repulsive sight, sound, smell, noise
or smoke.
"What is this process?" was asked.
1.-The body, covered with pail, is
placed on a catafalque in the chapel
or reception hall, whence it descends
noiselessly by means of an elevator TO
the incinerating chamber. This, by
means of superheated air, has been
raised to white heat at tempera-

removed the oaks will grow rapidly

Oaks are easy to propagate, as the
acorns can be obtained at small cost
and are almost certain to terminate.
Acorns are much easier TO manage

be planted where il is desired to have
them grow, or in nursery rows. from

THERE was an apparently authentic
report year or two ago that the cop
per-colored wards of the Nation were
increasing in number, Notwithstanding
all the adverse conditions OF Indian
life. But this seems to have been a
mistake. A census of the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes, recently completed, co.
the first enumeration OF these tribes
since lS74-shows a total of only 3,9l9,
whereas eleven years ago they number
ed 6,26l. In such remarkable de-
crease there is the lesson of destiny, 1t
would seem, for the red man. 1t has
not been due to exceptional causes. IN
cepting the civilized tri e:, the Cheyen
mes and Arapahoes are as favorably
situated and in all respects as well pro.
vided for as any Indians in America
The ready inference is that the red race
has been fast declining andis hopelessly
doomed to final extinction.
