Another Company Added TO the
Seventh Regiment.
General John r. Mathews received q
telegram Monday afternoon, stating that
the Anaheim Tyroleers would be admitted
to be known as Company G. 1t had been
the intention of the authorities of the N. G.
G. to admit the Tyroleers as a cadet com
pany, but tn ough the efforts OF General
Mathews the final decision was In favor of
admitting them on an equal standing with
the other companies of the regiment This
Will allow cadet company to be formed in
Los Angeles. and the Seventh Regiment
will then have grown from two companies
70 eight under tie able management of
General Matthew's. TIE companies are:
Nc ~, and ad f." OF this city; "B" of san
dino; &c" of Anaheip, and the cadet com
pany Of Los Angeles, and these viii
draw $500 per month fl Iom Sa ramento,
instead Of $40 as formerly. The
next action to be taken Is the election of
Colonel, ,LieutenautColonela and Major, and
this even will take piaca somewhere about
the LIST of March. These ortcers will be
elected by tie votes OF the captains and two
icutenants of each company, and in
making the selection great care should be
used. Thvse who are interested in the
National Guard a'e anxious to see no one
elected to either Of those positions but men
who are competent aud d sirable in every
sense of the word They think that the
Judgment If the General commanding
should be given the greatest consideration
since these officers come nearest to hi I'M in
the field work. As soon as everything is in
good working order General Mathews in
tends to establish an association of the
officers composed Of staff and line officers,
and this organization will be In great
measure school for officers where instruc
tiOn will be given. 1t is also General
Mathews iutention to have all light COM
panies turn out in Los Angeles on Jn;y 4th,
and this will be a grand showing for south

Origin OF the Esk inc.

+ The Eskimos are called Innui.s by
some writers because-the name is de
rived from a native. word signifying
man." and is supposed 20 be their own
designation of themselves. Ir Alaska
the Eskimos number. altogether about
$1,000, inhabiting most of the coast
line, as well as the interior portions of
the Arctic division. Where they came
from is, of course. pure natter of con-
lecture, but one theory is, that they
originated in tbs centre of the Ameri-
can continent, and that their settle
ment on the Alaskan coasts was coinci-
dent with the general migration which
led portion of the same race to Green
land. Tne theory of a common origin
hnds some support in ihe fact that the
kaiak, or sSin canoe of the Alaskans.
is identical in construction with that of
the Greenlanders. This kaiak, which is
a coyersdi boat, Is found only among
pure Eskimos, AID is lost wherevez
there has been intermixture with othsr
races. This ls, curious fact, as It
formSa distinct mark OF identity.

Wheat From Seed 5000 Years Old

a most Interesting experiment cuI-
minated in the raising of some wheat
grown from seeds as old as the Exodus.
The experImenter is David Drew, who
las. year received from a friend in
Alexandria, Egypt, some grains Of
wheat taken from a mummy exhumed
near the ruins of Memphis, and be-
longing, it is believed, TO The period Of
the Ninth Dynasty, which would make
it grown about 5000 B. c., or be near.
ly five thousand years old. He planted
the seed early in the Spring and care
fully nursed il. 1t grew rapidly, and
at the time or cutting measured from
six and half to seven feet high. The
leaves alternate on the stalk like COM
mon wheat, but the product of the
plant is the most Singular part of ir.
for instead of growing in an ear like
modern corn, there is heavy cluster
OF small twigs in place of the spindle
which hangs downward from its weight.
and each twig is thlckIy studded with
kernals each of which is in a separate
husk. From what is thresheG a larger
crop can be grown next year, as the re-
suit proves this grain to exceed in quail
ity anything that the modern grain can.

The Shot Tower in a Vision.

There was ones a mechanic at Bristol
England, who had queer dream.
Watts was his name, and he was by
trade a SHOEMAKER. The making OF the
little leaden pellets was then A SLOW,
labor1ous and consequently costly pro-
cess. Watts had 10 take great bars os
lead and pound them out into sheets Of
a thickness about equal to the diameter
OF the shot he desired TO make. Then
he cut the sheets into little cubes, which
he placed in a revolving barrel or box
and rolled until the edges wore of from
constant friction and the little cubes
became spheroids.
Watts had always racked his brain
trying 10 devise better scheme, but in
vain. Finally, after an evening spent
with some jolly conplnions at the
aleh0use, he went home and turned
into bed. Hs soon fell into a deep
slumber, but the liquor evidently did
not agree with him, Tor he had bad
dream. He thought he was out again
with the boys They were all try
ing 10 lind their WY hoIns when it be-
gan TO rain sLo,. Beautiful globules
of lead, polished and shining, fell in a
torrent and compelled him and his
bibulous companions TO draw their
heavy limbs 10 a place Of shelter.
In the morning, when Watts arose, he
leme embered the dream. He thought
about ii all day, aud wondered what
shape motion lead would take in falling
distance through the air. At last,
when he could rest no logger, he carried
a ladletul of the hot metal up into the
steep.e OF s.. Mary of Rsdelffs and
dropped into the moat below. De-
scending he took from the bottom OF
the shallow pool several handfulsos pei
feet shot, far superior 10 any he had
ever seen. Watts fortune was made
for he had conceived the idea OF the
shot tower, which has since been the on
ly means employed in the manufacture
of the little missile so much used in wal
aud sport.

Does the Earth ReyOIye! How TO
Prove il.

IL has puzzled the heads of good
many youngsters TO know bow the
earth turns round. A German educa-
tioual journal published IN Frankfort,
gives the following directions Cor prov
ing that the earth docs move -
Take a good-sIzed bowl, fill it nearly
full o. water, and place upon the floor
OF room which is not exposed TO shAk-
ing or jarriug from the s rect. Sprinkle
over the surface of the water coating
of lycopodium powder-a white sub
stance. which is sometimes used for
purposes of the toilet, and which can be
obtained at almost any apothecary's.
Then upon the surface of this coating
make, with powdered charcoal, y
straight black line, say an inch or two
in length. Having made this little
black mark with the charcoal powder
on the surface OF the contents Of the
bowl, lay down upon the floor, close 10
the bowl. a stick CT some other straight
object, so that it will be exactly parallel
with the mark. III the line happens 70

this will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a
few hours, and then observe the posi-
tion OF the black mark with reference
to the object it Was parallel with. /,

is TO say, in the opposite direction OF
the earth on its axis. The earth. IN
simply revolving, has carried the water
and eveEytLing else ia the bowl around
with it, but the powder on the surface
has been left behind little. The line
will always be found TO have moved
from east 10 west. which is perfectly
good proof that everything else has
moved The other way"

The Action OF the Heart.

As with each stroke the heart pro-
jects something like six ounces of
blood into the cOnduits of the system,
and as il does so some 40 times every
minute and 4 200 time in an hour, this
implies that il does the same thing 1OO,-
500 times in "a hours. 30 600 600 times
in a year. and more than 2. 500, OO0, 600
times in life of 20 years. The me-
chanical force that is exerted a. each
stroke amounts TO a pressure of 13
pounds upon the entire charge Of blood
that has TO be pressed onward through
the branching network of vessels. Ac-
cordlng to the lowest estimate lhat has
been made, this gives an eIertion of
force that would be adequate, IN anoth-
er form of application, to lift J20 tons
one foot high every "a hours. Yet the
piece of living mechanism that is called
upon TO do this, and DO it without a
pause for three score years and ten,
withOu. being itself worn OGt by the
effort, is small bundle of flesh that
rarely weighs more than eleven ounces.

To stop the beating of the heart for

TO Danetrate into the secrafs OF this del

from the intrusion of the rye that it
can not even be looked. into until It's

history of wonders. By means of the
