a MOUNTAEN ON FIRE.

The People OF BruIe, Canada, Fleeing on
Account of the subterranesn Heat.
Intense excitement has been created
at Ottawa, Ont, by the arrival Of five
young huntsmen, who tell OF a start
ling discovery they made in Brule,
fifty miles south of the Canadian Pa
citic Railway, and Just north of the
United States boundary line They
met q farmers family fleeing from
what they said was q mountain on
fire. In tracing the cause OF the farm
er's great excitement they found that
1t was evidently owing to the subter-
ranean heat IN the mountains side
which extended under the river
bed. About q mile further up the
stream it became so hot that it
heated the water until steam arose
from the surface. The atmosphere
was very warm, and the slightest ex-
ertion brought out perspiration. Close
to the spot where the farmer lived
hunters found the air almost sitting,
and the earth was too hot to touch
with the hand. Farther back on the
mountains side the heat was abso-
lutely unbearable. After climbing its
side for about 300 feet, the hunters
were forced to return as the air was
simply suffocating. The mountain
side men, well acquainted with the
geology OF the province, declare that
the location of this volcanic area has
been fixed to a nicety. Their theory
is that the bituminous coal in which
the mountain range is known to be
rich has become ignited, the vast
smouldering mass far down in the
mountain thus making q mighty
cauldron of the Manitou Rivers bed.

NAL turned and joined the other four
bears. The big bear was shot and
killed by hunter named Shattuck
an hour or so after it had made the
line walker move-on. 1t was the larg-
est bear ever killed in this state, its
weight being nearly five hundred and
fifty pounds, more than double the
average weight OF ii full-grown black

The First Watermelon.
From the Baltimore Herald. /


An old Hughes Quay woodsawyer,
walking up Light Street wharf Satur-
day afternoon looked into the window
OF chop house and came very near
giving up the ghost on the spot.
There was fac simile OF a watermelon
in che window. 1t was hollow inside
and made Of India rubber, but the
green psint and pale white stripe
made it look as natural as if it had
just arrived on the Anne Arundel

his face, and the laugh that went
forth came near knocking Federal
Hill down into WInan's Cove. Then
he vert inside and said: "Boss, what

told tnat it was not for sale, and had
been placed in the window merely as q

Shot Without Knowing 1t.

0. ID. Burhans, son of III. n.
Burhars, and four young
all residing in Danforth, left yester-
day afternoon, says the Syracuse
Standard, for Onondaga valley, where
they were going hunting. They drove
a horse, the property of Mr.. Burhans.
On the way out the horse acted wild
ly, and when gun was discharged he
could not be made to stand. When
the valley was reached Burhans and
another boy remained in the buggy,
while the others alighted and searched
for game. The boysin the buggy drove
on, but returned shortly, and as the
horse had become quiet they had re-
quested two of the boys who were
walking to shoot off their guns, in order
that the horse might get accustomed
to the report before they returned
home. The buggy at the time OF the
shooting was some distance from the
guns.
The boys then started for home,
and nothing wrong was noticed until
well on their way, when Burhans told
the boy in the buggy to take the reins,
as he felt faint. He then fell against
the back of the buggy, and when they
examined him they found that he had
been shot, and they set out for home
as fast as possible. On the way home
they met Drs. Van Duyn and Loomis,
who, when they saw the condition he
was in, accompanied him home. On
examination it was found that he had
been shot by ball either from rifle
or revolver. The ball had pene-
trated the top OF the buggy, and had
struck him in the back under the left
shoulder blade. The doctors probed
for the ball, but were unable to find it..
The boys who accompanied Burhans
cannot account for the accident, as
there were only two small shotguns in
the party, none of them having a rifle
with them, and as the distance between
them and the buggy was too great for
shotgun to carry, the shots which
they fired, they think, could not have
been the ones that did the harm. The
guns were breech-loaders and were
loaded with shells of fine shot, the
loading having been done at Smith g
gun-works. Burhans is about II
years of age and has always had a
great lovefor hunting and fishing. The
family do not blame any of the
boys that accompanied him, and it 1s
thought the shot was fired by some one
else who was shooting in the neighbor-
hood. The doctors say that although
the bali may have penetrated a lung
they have hopes of recovery, although
they were unable to remove the ball

Dynamite Statistics.

IrEOm the LOuuOH Ilmes
Dynamite Is more and more in use
for lawful purposes, happily, even
more than in furtherance of the OBJ
jects of Fenians or Anarchists. II we
include in it cognate explosive SUBJ
stances it has become very great
fact. Three government inspectors
watch it. A large number of manu-
facturers make it. It's behavior is the
subject of more than one act of Par
lament, and the accidents by reason
of it are detailed in blue book Just
issued, containing the annual report
of.Col. Majendie and his assistant in
spectors on explosives, which Is well
calculated to make cue feel that the
use OF such powerful agencies has SEN
sibly increased the perils of life. Twen-
ty years ago all such substances were
OF little account. Excepting gunpow-
der they were curiosities, scarcely
known outside of the Laboratory. But
of late the trade in explosives has
wonderfully expanded. The factories
for the manufacture have doubled in
ten years; the magazines for the stor-
age are rs per cent. more than they
were in 1875, and the retail premises
exceed by 5000 what they were in
that year. We make more and we
import more of such substances, and
there is every sign that the trade is
only in its infancy. Every year, too,
additions are being made to the recog-
nized explosives. Within the last
year several have been added to the
authorized list, one being electric de-
tonator fuses, consisting OF electric
fuses with platinum wire imbedded in
charge of a printing composition
made of carefully purified gun cotton.
Some new forms of gun cotton, such
as tonite and potentite, find favor.
Compressed 'gunpowder cartridges are
superseding in mining loose powder,
and, being safe to handle, they hold
their own against the nitro COM
pounds. The brown gunpowder called
cocoa" powder is, as every one
knows, mxch used here as we'll as in
Germany. But the tendency is to de-
velop the nitro-glycerine group OF ex-
plosives. For sporting purposes,
Schultze powder, a nitro compound,
consisting of nitro lignin carefully pur.
flied and mixed with nitrate, is en-
ployed. For some time back the use
of nitro glycerine as medicine in cases
OF angina pectoris and similar diseases
has been recognized by the British
PharmacOpRIa.

Ex-Bandit Frank James.

An Independence, Mo, correspond
ent of the st. Louis Republican
writes: The deposition of Joseph ID.
Bagby was taken Friday, to be used
in civil case to be tried in Olathe,
Kas., district court. This fact is rath-
er a sequel to an incident which Oc-
Cured here in September last and
which gained widespread circulation at
that time. A man came here to see
Frank James, and through the above.
named Bagby made g. contract with
the ex-bandit for the killing of neigh
Dor, with whom he had experienced
some difficulty. He claimed that his
neighbor held a note against him, all
OF which had been paid, but that two
credits, amounting to $181, which had
been made on the back of the note
with a lead-pencil, bad been erased,
and this was the occasion of the
trouble Frank James was to receive
500 for removing the neighbOr, whose
exact residence in Johnson County,
Kas., was described in order that no
mistake be made. The money was
put into Mr.. Bagby's hands, and after
g. severe rebuke returned to him, with
the suggestion that he return to his
home and be quiet or he would be
dealt with. The matter was all
taken as a big joke by James friends
and nothing was heard of it until the
notice for the depositions now being
taken here The names OF the men
were not published at that time. The
suit now pending in Olatheis over this
same note, and the name of the holder
of the note is Benjamin Reeder and
that of the man who sought to have
him killed is Robert Zuel. The grand
Jury of the county refused to indict
Mr.. Zuel, and it is not supposed that
the matter will now be carried any
further that the decision of the civil
suit. Both men are armers and
neighbors.

Pay ofCOngressmen.

From the Washington Hatehet.l
When a member dies his pay ceases
on the day of his death. The salary
of the successor commences the day
after the decease of the former mem
Der, though the election may not oc-
cur for several months. The new
member, in other words, draws pay
for time he never served.
A member is allowed twenty cents
mileage each way, or forty cents a
mile one way, and hecan check for the
full amount OF both trips when he
takes his seat. He is allowed $125 a
year for stationery. The most of this
sum is pocketed.
The members draw their money in
different ways. There are probably
twenty of the present House who let
their salaries run into nest eggs.
Among these are Scott and Everhart,
| of Pennsylvania; Powell, Of Illinois;
Boutelle, of Maine; Henley of Califor-
MIA; Jones, Stewart and Reagan OF
Texas; Ellsbury of Ohio; Stone, OF
| Massachusetts, and Wakefield, OF
| Minnesota. Scott has over a years g
| salary owing him-about 5000. The
other members mentioned have from
$1,000 to $4,000 to their credit.
| There are a couple of dozen of mem
bers who always overdraw, or rather,
borrow from the head of the bank.
They borrow or get in advance sums
ranging from $40 to $500, and at the
end of the month they have nothing.
The great majority of the members
draw all that is coming to them at
the end of each month, particularly
those who have their families with
| them. Some of them never see an out
side bank, but let their monthly sala-
ry remain and draw it out in small
| sums. Others take out their salaries
| and place them in other banks. But
this is not done as much as formerly
A number OF them got caught in the
Middleton Bank that broke some time
| ago.
Most of the members do all their
financial business over the counter oi
the Congressional bank, and some oil
them pile checks up as high as 500,
GOO in a single session.

A Treaty on a Handkerchief.


A Swiss correspondent OF the Paris
Republique Francaise, in looking over
the papers of the eccentric Duke of
Brunswick, deposited in the library of
Geneva, has found a draft of a secret
mutual assistance treaty between him
and the late Emperor Napoleon. 1t
is dated Ham, June 25, 1914, and is
not only signed Louis Napoleon Bo-
naparte," but written by him on a
white silk handkerchief in marking
ink. The treaty is in five articles and
the contracting parties ere bound by
an oath and their honor to observe
it. In return for the money which the
German prince was to furnish the
French one with which to escape from
Ham and restore the empire the lat
ter was to aid the other to enter
again into the possession of his duchy
and all his feifs, and, if possible, to
make all Germany one nation, giving
it constitution suited to it's tradi-
tions, manners, and the needs of a
progressive age. A Napoleonic con-
spiracy was carried on by the assist
ance OF the Duke of Brunswick 8 purse.
On the 22d of July, 1870, Napoleon
Ill. was for the last time reminded oil
the promises sworn to and written on
the silk pocket-handkerehief. He an
swered the reminder in a short note,
thus worded, which was found pinned
to that curious document: 81 have re.
ceived your letter, and find it is i'm
possible to comply with your de-
mands. l beg you to believe in my
sentiments of sincere amity. Napo-
leon." Six weeks later the emperor
was a prisoner of the Germans and
the Duke of Brunswick on his way to
Geneva.
