NATURAL PHENOMENA.
Aridescent Beauties of u Suniit Water
Spout at Crescent Beach,

The residents of Crescent Beach near Bos
ton were all agog with excitement a few
days since by the appearance in Broad
sound of the most unusual sight. A little
more than midway between Crescent Beach
and the lower end of Nahant, appeared a
veritable water spout reaching from the
crest of the waves to the black canopy of
clouds overhead. The top of this semi
transparent pillar of water, as well
as the base, expanded, and the centre
of the pillar appeared in a spiral
form, and swayed to and fro for several
minu es when it parted in the middle, the
lower part sinking out of sight into the
waves and the upper portion drawn up into
the heavens. While the phenomena lastel
the eye was treated to scene of bewildering
beauty. The rain had ceased falling for
nearly an hour but the atmosphere was
moist and many were looking in the direc-
tion indicated at a dimly defined rainbow,
when the waterspout suddenly burst into
view. At the moment that it appeared
the greatest in form, the sun, which until
then had been obscured by heavy clouds, shot
through a rent in the yelling, and touching
the water column, lighted it up in prismatic
colors, which flashed forth magical changes
wonderful in their weird beauty. Inquiry
has failed to find any one who ever witnessed
anything of the kind from those shores be

Maxim Hnvents 81 New Method of Ex-
peiling PrOjec;iies.
The ordance department of the army has
just received from the celebrated inventor,
Mr.. Maxim, who is in England, the descrip-
tion of new dynamite gun which he has pro-
Jected, in which he proposes to introduce q
new and interesting method of expelliDg the
projectiles from the weapon, and by which he
hopes to render the use Of dynamite in pro-
jectiles practicable in heavy guns. He re-
tains the pneumatic principle, which has been
utilized with so much success by Zalinslzi,
but, instead of using compressed air alone, as
Zalinski has done, he mixes with this COM
pressed air a quantity of hydro-carbon, such
as the vapor Of gasoline. This compressed
mixture is introduced behind the Iroiectile,
and the pressure is applied to start it for
ward in the chamber of the gun. After it
has moved certain distance, the proiectile
itself uncoverS a decorating fuse, and an ex-
plosion then occurs, the air furnishing the
oxygen for the explosion, and the pressure
being increased about eight times. He
claims that by this method his initial
pressure does not need to be more than half
as great as that used by Zalinski. He does
not have so much compressed air, nor does be
require that the barrel of his gun shall be of
such great length. His highest pressure is
about 1000 pounds to the inch, the first pres
sure being not more than one-tenth of that.
His detonator is very ingenious affair, and
is inserted through a small circular opening
from the exterior of the gun. The ordnance
officers are much interested in this new form
of dynamite gun.

A Valuable Confederate Cent,

Hon. George II. Wright, of Chuluota,
Fla, has in his possession copper cent
which is worth several times its weight
in gold. Itwas coined by the Confederate
States of America and is modelled very
much after the cent of the United States.
1t is claimed that but forty-two of the
pieces were coined before the die was
captured and the manufacture of the coin
stopped. Of these it is believed that not
more than twenty are now In existence

"Oh, the Canadians are all opposed to the

posing it, for it obtains for us more than we
hoped. All the criticisms have seen are
based upon the apparent assumption that
this treaty is an or ginal one. That is not
correct. They forget the treaty Of 1918, and
that the English were tenacious in holding
to everything they could. In my opinion
the more public the treaty is made, tho bet

gently discussed, they will see how favora-

DIES WITH HIS BOOTS ON.
"Big Frenchy" Killed at Williston, Da-
kota-Sketch of the Mans Life.

"Big Frenchy" Killed at Williston, Da-
kota-Sketch of the Mans Life.
From the Miles City Journal" Ed
Creely was killed at Williston, Dakota, on
Sunday. No particulars of the affair are
obtainable, the only Information being a
telegram to Louis King from Robt. Pontet,
to the effect that Creely had been killed
and asking if King knew anything OF the
former home and people Of the dead man.
Louis telegraphed to Omaha and st.
Louis, at both of which places Creely
served on the police force but has heard
nothing as yet.
Ed. Creely, or "Big Frenchy" as he was
best known, was a pioneer OF Custer
County and was in Miles City as early as
1877 and then a deput sheriff under
Hoppe. From that time until 1884 he
was in the employ OF the several Custer
County sheriffs, and in 1885 went to
Glendive where he was iailer under the
then sheriff of Dawson County. He re.
turned to miles City in the Spring of 1886
and was for some months a deputy under
Sheriff G: W. Savage. but was discharged
for insubordination and then went to
Williston, Dak., where he has been up to
the day Of his death a peace officer.
In 1880 Creely killed man in Miles City
while attempting an arrest under circum.
stances not altogether within the privilege
OF an officer, but was exonerated by ajury.
He had shooting scrape in Williston last
year, but escaped uninjured.
Greedy was not a good officer, being so
much addicted to drink, and when under
the influence CT alcohol was q dangerous
and ugly man; but in his sober times he
was both brave, Industrious and faithful.
Knowing his record, as does the writer, one
cannot be surprised at the manner of his
taking off. Big Frenchy was one OF those
men to whom a natural death would have
been unnatural.

That Senate Committee Makes Some very
Absurd Deductions from the Mills BIZ.
WAsH1NaroN, October 4.-The report o.
the majority in reporting the Senate tarif
bill was made public this afternoon. Tn.
report declares that the demand for q
careful and thorough revision Of on,
revenue laws is imperative, but it declares
that the House bill is utterly inadequate
for the purpose.
1t has been evident that the purpose, re.

the policy in power to delay action and
modify causes for uneasiness, and to multi.
ply and intensity the evils until the people
OF the country should imperatively de.
mand RELIEF, and then to assume that the
evils and embarrassments from which we
are suffering are necessary Incidents OF the
protective system, and that relief can only
be found in the destruction OF that system.
The report expresses its conviction of the
inadquency OF the House bill as remedial
measure for the following reasons:
First, that it would probably increase
instead Of reducing the revenue.
Second, that it provides no remedy for
Third, that il does not remedy O Of
the inequalities or anomalies, or cure any
OF the defects Of the existing law.
The majority says that, with the excep.
tion OF wines. liquors, tobocco and sugar,
every tariff schedule is invaded by the
alterations made, with the hostile spirit
which pervades the House bill, and that
