American Explorers.

Explorers from America are in every
land and on every sea, says Professor
G. G. Gardner. Already she has con-
tributed her quota of martyrs in the
frozen North, and has led the way
to the torrid regions of Africa
The people of Europe, through Column
bus, opened up new world for
US; and we, through Stanley, have dis
covered a new world in the old toI
them.
Much has been done on land, little on
the other three quarters of the earth's
surface. But here America has laid the
foundations of a new science-the geog-
raphy of the sea.
Our explorers have mapped out the
surface of. the ocean and discovered the
great movements of the waters. They
have traced the southwark flow of the
Arctic waters to temper the climate OF
The torrid zone. They have followed tho
northward set of the heated waters of the
EQUATOR and have shown how they form
those wonderful rivers of warm water
that flow, without walls, through the
colder waters of the sea till they strike
the western shores of Europe and
America, and how they render habitable
the almost Arctic countries of Great
Britain and Alaska. They have even
followed these warm currents farther and
shown how they penetrate the Arctic
Ocean to lessen the rlgors of the Arctic
cold. Bravely but yainly have they
sought for that ignis fatuus OF explorers
the open polar sea-produced by the
action of the warm waters from the
south.
American explorers have sounded the
depths of the ocean, and discovered
mountains and valleys beneath the waves.
They have found the. great plateaus on
which the cables rest that brings US into
instantaneous communication with the
rest of the world. They have shown the
probable existence of vast submarine
range of mountains, extending nearly
the whole length of the Pacific Ocean
mountains so high that their SUBMITS
rise above the surface to form islands
and archipelagoes in the Pacific. And all
this vast region of the earth, which, q
few years ago, was considered unlnhaDlt-
able on account of the great pressure,
they have discovered to be teeming with
life. From the depths Of the ocean they
have brought living things, whose lives
were spent under conditions of such
pressure that the elastic force of their
own bodies burst them open before they
could be brought to the surface; living
creatures whose self-luminous spots sup
piled them with the light denied them
in the deep abyss from which they
sprang-abysses so deep that the power.
full rays of the sun could only feebly
nenetrate to illuminate or warm.

A Handsome Meerschaum Pipe.

Perhaps the finest specimen of meer-
schaum pipe in the United States is
owned by James Addington, of East
Aurora, this county. It was made as q
masterpiece from the factory of Franz
HESS, Viennahess, Germany, and was
exhibited in Germany. England and
France, and afterward taken to Sidney,
Australia, by the manufacturers agent.
It was there sold to large tobacco
dealer, who valued it at $500, and from
whom Mr.. Addington bought it. The
pipe is thirteen inches in length from the
bowl to the tip Of the mouthpiece. The
bowl is one and one.half inches Ugh and
represents an old stump with the bark
partially fallen off, and from the back OF
which has sprouted young scrub. the
leaves and branches of which are perfect.
On the front of the stump is lizard; at
the base Of the stump are the most deli
cate leaves and ferns. On the stem,
which is about three quarters of an inch
in diameter and eight inches long, is
carved bed of ferns and grass, in which
are standing three perfectly formed
horses. The horses are so exquisitely
carved that each muscle is visible. The
bowl and stem are carved by hand from
one pice of mecrsct I'm. Attached to
the stem is an amber mouth-piece three
inches long, on which is carved horses
head. For this mouth piece a,one Mr..
Addington has been offered seventy dol
lars. It is very seldom that such an Gle.
giant piece of hand-carving as this pipe
IS to be seen. 1t took the workman three
years to complete the task, he having
tried seven pieces of meerschaum before
finding a piece out of which the pipe
could be cut.-Buflio Cauri.r.

Novel Method of Warfare.

A certain fort in the far West, so the
story goes, was in command of major OF
artillery who was constantly lamentlng
that his favorite arm could not be more
frequently used against the Indians:
Finally one day he took one of the small
howitzers, which defended the fort, and
had it securely strapped to the back of
an army mule with the muzzle project
ing over the animals tail. With this
novel gun carriage he proceeded in high
feather with the captain and a sergeant to
bluff on the bank of the Missouri, near
which was encamped band of friendly
Indians. The gun was duly loaded and
primed, the fuse inserted, and the mule
backed to the edge of the bluff. The
major remarked something about the
moral effect the exhibition was likely to
produce upon the Indian allies, and
stepped gayly forward and applied the
match.
The curiosity OF the mule was aroused.
He ierked his head around to see what
was fixing away there on his neck, and
the next second his feet were all punched
together and making forty revolutions a
minute, while the gun was threatening
everything under the canopy within a
radius of ten miles with instant destruc-
ton. The captain Skinned up the only
available tree. The sergeant threw him
self flat on the ground and tried to dig o
hole with his bayonet to crawl into, while
the fat major rolled over and over in
agony, alternately invoking the protee-
ton Of Providence and railing at the
mule. Finally the explosion came, the
ball going through the roof of the fort.
The recoil of the gun and the wild leap
of the terrified mule carried both over
the bluff to safe anchorage at the bot
tom of the river. The discounted party
returned sadly to the fort.
Shortly after the chief Of the Indians
appeared and announced briefly: "lnjun
90 home" ....
Questioned as to why he thus ex-
planned: "Injun ver' brave, help white
man. Injun use gun, use bow-arrow,
use knife; but when white man fire off
whole iackass Injun no understand, no
think right. Injun no help uu fight
that way.-Iorolto World.
