SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

DR.. G. E. Saunders, Of the West Herts
medical association in England, cor tends
that cholera is transmitted from one To-
cality to another by human agencies
rather than climatic causes. Evidence
of this is the fact that no outbreak has
been known to occur in less time than it
would take a man to travel the distance
from the nearest place where the disease
already existed.
Among the new applications Of cotton
is its use in part, in the construction of
houses, the material employed for this
purpose being the refuse, which, when
grounAup with about an equal amount
of straw and asbestos, is converted into
paste, and this is formed into large slabs
or bricks, which require, it is said, the
hardness of stone, and furnish a really
valuable building stock.
Professor Tromholt, in Norway, has met
with partial success in photo.
graphing the aurora borcalis, feat
which his many failures had led him to
pronounce impossible. After exposing
plate for eight and a half minutes he
secured a negative of an aurora, but the
impression is SO very faint that it cannot
be reproduced as positive.
A novel use for paper has been found
in the manufacture of gas pipes. In adj
dition to being absolutely tight and
smooth, and much cheaper than iron,
these pipes are of great strength, for
when the sides are scarcely three tfths
Of an inch thick they will stand pres
sure of more than fifteen atmosphcrcs
If buried under the ground they will not
be broken by settlement, nor when vio-
lently shaken or Jared. The material
being bad conductor of heat, the pipes
do not readily freeze.
Sea waves, according to observations
Of the United States naval photographic
officer, show a height OF from forty -four
to forty-eight feet. but those of height
greater than thirty feet are not COM
monty encountered. The longest re-
corded wave measured a half-mile from
crest to crest, with a period of twenty
three seconds. Waves having length
of 500 or 600 feet, and periods of ten to
eleven seconds, are the ordinary storm
waves of the North Atlantic.
DR.. Wormley, in recent work, con-
cludes, as the result of a most searching
study of the bloods of forty different
mamma!s. that "a microscope may ena-
bic US to determine with great certainty
that blood is not of certain animal
and is consistent with the blood of man:
but in no instance does it in itself enable
us to say that the blood is really human
or indicate from what particular species
of animal it was derived The state
ment has high medicolcgal Importance
The Boston Journal says: "Thc pure
white light of the sun is a delusion of
our senses, according to late scientific
discovery. The true color of the sun is
blue, and becomes white only as we see
it through our atmosphere, which acts
like sort of sieve holding back the ex-
cess OF blue in the original sunlight
Hereafter the scientific poet will sing of
the blue sunshine sitting through the
leaves from the white sky, and blue
were her eyes, like the sunbeams fair.
Accuracy and poetry are not incompati-

ness that some writers rave about. They
met and loved. During his chcckered
career they met often and Bosque Redon-
ma became to him harbor toward which
he felt safe to steer in time of storms.
After he had made his escape, almost
from the gallows, instead of leaving the
country, as was supposed, he went direct
to his bonita senorita, and was con-
cealed and cared for by her and her fam
liz.
The the jealousy of disappointed
sutton for the hand of the fair Lola, the
secret of his hiding place was disclosed
to Pat Garrett, the tall, lank, fearless,
lightning-shot sheriff of San Miguel
county-the only man in New Mexico
who had the necessary nerve and skill
with the as" to seek personal encoun-
ter with Billy. Garrett said not word
to any one; prepared his weapons and
with single attendant, mounted on
magnificent mu stangs, they struck out
for the Bosque, where they arrived Just
at dusk. Leaving the mustang with his
attendant, Garrett being well acquainted
at the hacienda, went directly to the
apartment of Pete Maxwell, the oldest
brother of the beautiful Lola. Maxwell
was in the room when the sheriff entered
and stated his errand. The lights were
not yet lit, and the place had gloomy
appearance when one first entered, till
he became accustomed to the darkness.
Pat had no sooner stated his business
than a step was heard approaching the
door. AS the door opened Garrett
crouched down behind the bed. A man
stepped quickly over the threshold in his
stocking feet, with knife in his hand.
1t was Billy the Kid. Seeing the outline
of Maxwell's form, as he sat on The bed,
he Intercepted. "Who is there?" and,
as no reply was made, he asked again the
same question in Spanish. "Quien est"
rapidly drawing his pistol at the same
time. Garrett recognized him by his
voice; the flash of pistol was seen, fol-
lowed by a report, and the celebrated
outlaw sank to the floor, with bullet
through his heart.-Aha California.

The Dude of Long Ago.

John Bach McMaster, the historian,
thus describes the American dude Of
1900: 1.-The pantaloons of beau went
up to his armpits; to get into them was a
mornings work, and when in to sit down
was impossible. His hat was too small
to contain his handkerchief and was not
expected to stay on his head. His hair
was brushed from the crown of his head
toward his forehead and looked, as a
satirist of that day truly said, as if he
had been fighting an old fashioned hurri-
cane backward. About his neck was
spotted linen neckerchief; the skirts of
his green coat were cut away to mathe-
matical point behind"

As seen by the great tropical and POI
lar explorers, !" Is the title OF a new and
valuable book just published by the His
torical Publishing Co. It's object Is to
place within the reach Of all, in one
elegant, finely illustrated volume, all
the achievements, discoveries, travels,
and adventures of the great explorers;
a history OF marvellous things ON the
earth; of strange countries and races Of
people; Of curious animals, birds and
reptiles; and the worlds great natural
phenomena and curiosities." 1t pos
sesses additional interest in an official
history Of the late Greeley expedition in
search Of the North Pole, and is no
doubt book of standard merit and
great interest. The publishers claim
that it is a complete encyclopedia Of ex-
ploration, discovery and adventure in
all parts of the world, and as such it
must possess very great interest for all
classes OF readers. See advertisement
elsewhere.

the very best of recommendations; they
have almost an unlimited acquaintance
in this section Of Kansas and those who
know them best say they will undoubt-
edly make a big success of the Grand.
They will give grand opening ball

The schoOlmastsr on Our ReDuhl,.


Then our republic rose, Noah Web
ster became scho0lmaster. There had
never been a great nation with univer-
sal language without dialects. The
Yorkshirem9n can not now talk with a
man from Cornwall. The peasant of
the Ligurian Apprentices, drives his
goats home at evening, over hills that
look down OH six provinces, none of
whose dialects he can speak. Here,
i've thousand miles change not the
sound OF word. Around every fire.
side, and and from every tribune. in
every field Of labor and every factory of
toll, is heard the same tongue. We owe
1t to Noah Webster's spelling book and
Dictionaries. He has done more for
US than Alfred did for England, or
Cadmus for Greece. His books have
educated three generations. They are
favorably multiplying his innumerable
army of thinkers, who will transmit his
name from age to age. Only two men
have stood on the New World, whose
fame is SO sure to last-Columbus its
discoverer, and Washington It's saviour.
Webster is and will be its great teacher:
and these three make our trinity of
famer

Comanche counties and the Territory
ON the south is more favorable than it
was last week. Monday of this week
was a cold raw day; sleet fell considera-
bly, and the outlook was not good. Tues
day it turned somewhat warmer, and
the snow began to disappear slowly.
"wednesday the sun shone all day and
byyesterday the snow and ice had all
disappeared and the weather was warm
and pleasant. This after five weeks of
solid winter weather-as bad as could
be looked for in any country.
This week we have endeavored to as
certain the condition of cattle on the
range by comforting with prominent
stockmen, and we therefore report as
follows: Up to now with no more un-
favorable weather than usually charac-
terizes the latter part of the winter, the
losses among cattle that are being fed
sorghum alone, will amount to not
more than three per cent. On cattle
that are onfull feed of sorghum, millet
and prairie hay, where they were taken
up before the storm, one per cent will
cover the losses. On cattle that were
confined in pastures, or allowed to run
at large without any feed, ten per cent
will barely cover the losses. OF this lat
ter class there are not great many in
Barber county; but in Comanche coun-
ty many large punches are entirely
without feed, and she stock especially
win suffer materially.
At present the damage is not entire
ly known. Heifers, coming in the early
spring will not die until they calve; but
the deaths in this class will be frequent
where the animals have been allowed to
get poor.
Bulls that are being fed are doing
well and especially those that have be-
come acclimated.
Horses, so far, have shown no indica-
tions of disease. The loco weed does not
appear TO have done any great damage.
Altogether, stOckmen may congratu-
late themselves that the outlook is no
worse.
