The Egg OF Columbus,

"Who was Columbus ?" asked a
teacher of his class, in one of the pub
lie schools of Austin.
columbus was bird,' replied a
little girl.
The whole class laughed vociferous
ly, and the teacher asked the little girl
what she meant by such silly answer.
She explained, shedding bitter tears
that she had read in the book OF an
older sister, a piece of poetry about the
egg of Columbus, and as only birds lay
eggs, she could come to no other con.
cluson than that Columbus was some
sort ol blrd--7eras SJiings.

A tree-toad dressed in apple-green,
Sat on messy log
Beside pond, and shrilly sang,
Come forth, my Polly Wog,
Ny Pol-my Ly--my wog-
My pretty Polly Wog;
I've something very sweet to say,
Ny slender Polly Wog,
"The air is moist-the moon is hid
Behind heavy fog;
No stars are out to pink and wink
At you, my Polly Wog-
My Pol--my Ly-my Wog-
My graceful Polly Wog;
Oh larry not, beloved one.
Ny precious Polly Wog!'
just then away went clouds, and there
A-stting on the log
The other end | nean--the moon
Showed angry Poly %og
Her small eyes flashed, she swelled until
She looked almost frog:
How dare you ca II me. Sir she said,
Your precious Polly Wog?f'
= Why, one would think your life was spent
In some low muddy bog;
I'd have you know, To strange young toads,
My names Miss Mary Wog."
One Wild wild laugh that tree-toad gave,
And tumbled off the log;
And on the ground he kicked and screamed,
"Oh, Mary, Mary Wog
Oh, Ma! oh. Ry! oh, Wog!
Oh, proud Miss Mary Wog.
Oh goodness gracious what a Joke!
Hurrah for Mary Wog!

THE SENTIMENT GROWS.

The Colusa Sun quotes from the RECORD
UNION rs follows:
The Sacramento riyeris steadily degenerating.
In a brief time, at the present rate of decline,
the steamers viii be unable to receive freight
with any certainty OF early delivery. When
that time comes, navigation will be in part
closed, and with that closing begins Sacrament
to's decline. There is one way to prevent this.
and that is to make such an appeal to the Fed
eral Government for the salvation of the river
that it viii take some remedial action This
should be done now, as an aid to the peoples
effort to stop the nuisance of turning mining
debris into the river and its tributaries or any
where else TO eudanger them Our county au-
thorties should relax no vigilance in making
the rights of the valley effective by the aid of
the Courts. and at the same time this people
should rouse Congress to its duty to contribute
its aid in the form of reclamation work. and the
utterauee of decree that miners shall no longer
commit trespess upon the people free highway.
The Sun adds: {" If the Federal Gov
eminent acts, it is necessary that it act
promptly. The filing up of the channel
of the river, and the pouring out over its
banks, or through cuts of comparatively
clear water, thus decreasing the securing
capacity of the river, will soon make re-
medal measures very expensive, if not en-
tirely impracticable But there seems to
be a waking no all along the line, and we
may soon expect to see hydraulic mining
stopped. But there must be an immense
amount of work done on the river-the
appropriations must run up into the mill
ions. 1t will take great embankments to
make the river scour out"

A HOT wave has rolled over the great
California valleys. 1t has been very hot.
But it is a fact that there has been no
real suffering. Inconvenience and dis
comfort have been experienced, but no
real i'll. Now it will, of course, be in
order for the people of the coast to prate
of the heat of the Sacramento valley, ig-
noring the fact that these extremely hot
days are exceptional and very few indeed.
Our friends who pity us should not
waste the sentiment Or be prodigal of the
emotion, for the hot wave has not harmed
us. Let them stretch their pity to the far
East, where in single city in one day PIG
persons were sent to hospitals because of
heat prostration. With the greater heat
in the dry atmosphere of this valley not
single case of prostration is known to have
occurred.

cultivating taste for archaeological re-

that the members fully appreciate the

start out with reason for the task, and to
adopt a high plane from which to operate

Why THE Swiss CAN DRINK So Much
Owing to the small proportion of moisture
IN mountain air and the low barometric
pressure, evaporation is very rapid. Even
after the heaviest rain the ground dries in
few hours. This quality of the air
tends to make perspiration more profuse
and the skin dry faster than in-the case at
lower elevations. There is greater thirst.
the tissues waste faster, and high au-
thority has said that a mans tissue is the
only thing which it is his duty to waste.
new tissue being out of all comparison bet
ter than old. 1t is probable this rapid
evaporation at great nights, and the thirst
which il engenders that the Swiss have to
thank for their wonderful drinking powers
The other week the marksmen on Canton
Naud held their annual rifle meeting at
Payerne, picturesque village on the Broye.
and the local papers mention with sone-
thing like pride that the shooters and their
friends drank the place dry. Everybody
who has been in the Highlands of Scotland.
or any other mountain land. and tried the
experiment, knows that he can drink with
impunity much more whisky. or whatever
the win du pays may be, than he can drink
at home. This, it may be as well 10 OBJ

additional reason for going to the noun

An Accejeratinp Car,ridoo

Among the very recent inventions is that
oil A. 5. Lyman, the veteran inventor, of
New York, of what may be termed an accel-
Grating cartridge. 1t consists of an orii-
binary cartridge shell firmly packed with
powder meal, through the center of which
is longitudinal perioration. Powder meal
is used in order to compact the explosive
into single piece or block, and prevent
the nearly instantaneous ignition which
takes place with granulated powder.
When this new cartridge is fired the ig-
milton begins within the walls of the perfo-
ration, slowly at first, owing to the small
surface exposed to fire producing low gas
pressure, by which the ball is started but
as ignition proceeds the perforation en-
larges with increasing ratio, the charge
burns with augmented rapidly, and the
gas pressure steadily rises, expanding
nearly lis whole effect upon the ball
The few experiments thus far made with
this novel invention have yielded remark
able results, and they indicate a coming
revolution in the range and penetration of
proJecules. From a small smooth-bore
gun, four feet in length, five sixteenths
inch bore, with powder charge of nine
tenths of an ounce, made in the new form,
a projectile nine inches long, weighing three
and one-half ounces, has been driven into
target composed of nine plates of boiler
iron, each one-fourth of an inch thick.
Eight of the plates were pierced the
forward end of the projectile then curved
upward. boring up within the body of the
ninth plate, and making an aggregate PEN
etration of iron by the proiectile of over
four inches. 1t is estimated by the pa
tentee that, with three-inch gun and
forty pounds of powder, proiectile may
be sent through solid iron plate three
feet thick Should these expectations be
realized by actual experiment. 1t would
seem as if, in the naval battle of the future
the elements of light vessels, great speed
and rapid firing qualities would become
prominent.
As TO land defenses and military opera
tons in general, radical changes would
necessarily follow from the introduction of
small arms and artillery having the extra
ordinary ranges and power which this new
invention promises.-[Scientific American.
