pHoToGRAPHING BULLETS.

The interesting process of photo
graphing rifle bullets in motion by
means of the electric light presents
some remarkable phenomena, judg
ing from the experiments made by
Mach, the Austrian chemist In
this operation his plan is to illume
the bullet by letting it break an
electric current formed, but the ve-
loeity of the bullet must exceed that
of sound in order that the condition
of the air before aud behind the pro-
iectile can be shown. After various
experiments he succeeded in his
efforts to photograph projectiles fired
by Wernal ana Jurde guns, having
respectively an initial velocity of 43S
and $40 meters per second. The
photographs obtained in this manner
showed the air formation in front of
the bullet having the form of an
hyperbola, while behind it almost a
vacuum was formed, IN which, when
the initial velocity was very great,
there were some curious spiral mo-
tions. From the description given
there appeared from these photo
graphs to be great similarity be.
tween the motion of a body through
the water and that of a projectile
| through the air.

sTASLEY'S TACT.

d. II. Johnston relates story,
says the New York Tribune, which
ssrikihgly reveals one great secret of
MIR. Stanley's success in dealing with
the uncivilized tribes of Africa. On
one occasion Mr.. Stanley went to
meet an important but rather un-
friendly chief named Ngantshu on
an island in Stanley Pool. The chief
came with great retinue and with
his ancestral fetish. This was re-
pulsive-looking thing, made Of a
monkeys skull and red clay, studded
with cowries and hung with little
bells. In it Ngantshu believed the
spirits of his ancestors dwelt, and he
treated it with veneration, and from
time to time poured wine upon it
and placed chewed. up food in its
mouth. The chief introduced the
fetish to Mr.. Stanley, rather anxious
iy. The average white man would
probably have laughed at it and ask
ed the chief why he believed in such
absurdities. But this great explorer
sent for camp chair and respects
fully placed the fetish in it, SO that
Ngantshu's ancestors might be pres
ent at the conference; and when
lunch time came and Ngantshu put
food into its mouth and poured wine
upon 1t, Mr.. Stanley did the same.
The result was that Ngantshu signed
a treaty and became for all time MIR.
Stanley's devoted friend. Perhaps
by this time the missionaries have
taught him to forsake his wretched
idolatry; but they would never have
had a chance to do so had not Mr..
Stanley first treated his faith with
courtesy.

The Northern Pacific Inaugurates Mon
etary Innovation.
The first land tax the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad Company has ever paid
in Washington territory was turned
over to County Treasurer Frank A.
Pontius, Feb. II.
Heretofore the company has only
paid certain per cent on its gross
earnings to the territorial auditor,
who has apportioned the amount
among the several counties. This
year Treasurer Pontius prepared a
statement OF the assessment on the
isHds of King county and presented
it to F. M. Dudley, the Northern Pa
cific land commissioner. This state
ment showed the valuation of the
company's land to be 1865, ,527 and
the tax thereon S16,47292.
John Fl. Mitchell, Jr., attorney for
the Northern Pacific, appeared at
the county treasury and paid $7,S44-
IL of the tax. This amount was re-.
ceipted for by Treasurer Pontius and
placed to the credit of the severaI
funds as follows: County, school and
territorial, $5.7l21S; road S73705;
road and bridge, S737.05; militia
and Ind. relief. S1S4.26; special
| school. S473.5S The company will
probably pay the balance OF SS,626.

County Treasurer Pontius also re-
ceivod S150,000 upon the schoo

THEY DIDN'T GET THERE.

Hi there! Captain stop that boat r'
This command was uttered by one
of two ladies as they rushed frantic :
ally along Union wharf Tuesday ey.
ening just as the "Evangel" came in
to the dock from Pt. Angeles. The
ladies were the wives of two of Port
Townsend's prominent citizens, one
of whom was in Seattle indulging in
the pleasures attending the silver an
niversary of the Knights of Pythias
OF that city. The wives had put their
heads together during the morning
hours of Tuesday and resolved to go
to Seattle on the Evangel that even
ing and attend the ball themselves.
From two until six p. M. they had
tried on and pinned up, and pulled
back, round half dozen party
dresses intending to look their very
sweetest as they walked into the ball
room, all the while anticipating the
pleasant surprise they would give the
husband. Just half hour before it
was time for the Evangel to arrive,
the ladies, having each packed a
satchel, started down the zigzag on
trot so that when they reached the
dock one of the ladies, being inclined
to stoutness was considerably out of
breath, and the other being Sd very
much excited over the prospect of the
trip, did not notice that the EvangeI,
instead of going out, was just COM
ing in. The ladies could hardly wait
until the gang plank was lowered, 50
anxious were they to get on. They,
however, acquiesced to the wishes of
the Captain and stood at one side
while the passengers were coming
ashore. The faces of the ladies were
wreathed in smiles, and they no
doubt would have continued in that
pleasant expression had they not
overheard the Captain tell one OF the
passengers that the boat would ''leave
for Seattle at one a. NJ" They lost
their grip on their satchels, the smiles
disappeared, and instead an almost
deathly palor o'erspread their counte
nances.. First they told the Captain
that he must leave at once, then they
begged and beseeched, but the Cap
tain was obdurate. Like the gallant
old salt OF yore, he shifted his "Yuca
tan" from one side of his mouth to the
other and said it was impossible.
The ladies cried, but he would not
yield, there wasn't a passenger that
bad left his boat but what was apt to
buy three or four blocks OF real es-
tate and if be did not assist them how
would they reap any harvest from the
rise in values that was sure to come?
The ladies finding it impossible to
move the Captain in his determina-
ton to remain, left the wharf and
wandered spirit-crushed to a hotel
and took seats in the parlor where
for two hours they poured out their
wrongs to an ARGUS representative.
1t is believed that the ladies left at l
q. m. hoping to reach Seattle in time
to meet the husband on his way
home. We would not for the world
tell anyone that they did not get to
the ball, after the hours spent in pre-
paration for SO notable an event.

"GO WEST. YOUNG MAN"
But Don't Stop TIL You are Near the
Pacific Edge.

We have long looked upon Wash
ington territory, the far-away COR
ner of our great country, as the most
hopeful field for energetic young
men. It is growing rapidly, and
from all accounts is likely to grow
even more rapidly in the near future,
as it seems to present greater at
fractions to the settler than any other
section. This territory has an area
of over $4,000 square miles, exceed
ing the combined area of New
York, New Jersey, Delaware and
Massachusetts. 1t has a coast line
Of over 200 miles, and the finest hsr-
Dor in the world; and the Columbia
river is navigable for 175 miles. The
climate is delightful, the average
temperature SO degrees in winter
and Ga in summer, while the annual
rainfall averages 81 inches.
The lumber resources are unsur~
passed: the output during the past
year was nearly 9OO.oOO.O0O feet.
The coal-5earing strata extend up
ward of 10000 square miles. and this
industry is also being rapidly devel-
oped. The product of the mines last
year was 100000 tons, or doable
that of the year before. The wheat
yield, according to government re-
ports, is greater per acre than that OF
the most prolific states in the Union.
The estimated crop for 1888 was 15,-
000,0O bushels; while the great CO.
lumbia River basin, extending
through the eastern half of the state
is said to bo capable of producing
100000 bushels per anum. The
shipment of canned salmon last year
amounted to 100000 cases.
The present population of the ter
ritory is estimated at 275, 900 or over,
and with wood, water, grazing and
all natural resources so abundant as
TO offer the best facilities for agricul-
ture and manufacturing industries, it
would not be surprising if Washing
ton should far ontstrip some, of the
states which have filed up more
rapidly because easier of access.
Washington already possesses 140O
miles Of railways, while three great
lines. the Northern, Canadian and
Union Pacific are already competing
for the privilege OF hauling its COM
merce with other states. Foreign
commerce with Australia, England
and India is keeping pace with
domestic growth. Chief among the
cities Of this growing region is Port
Townsend, Beautifully situated be-
tween an island and an ocean harbor,
amid the most picturesque surround
and with excellent school facilities,
it may well be recognized Is
city with an assured future.
Many young men who are strug-
Cling for place in some of the East
ern states would not only find loom
abundant. but the rewards of enter
prise, energy and thrift SO prompt
in these growing sections that there
ready acceptance OF the advice of
Horace Greeley: ''Go West, young
man." would show it to have been
given in the interest of their own as
well as public prosperity. We repeat
it, 500 West, young man."

CHAPTER I.

the country house OF a friend. He
had taken orders and was waiting
for his salary to begin. At college
he mad been devoted student and
had q number Of friends, including
his mother. While staying at his
friends house he met a country girl,
Pauline Keystone. She possessed a
quiet beauty and determination to
rule her mother and sisters. Her
father, just before dying, had called
her, and in the voice of strict conf
dence, had said:
Charlotte, am gone.
"Yes, Pa"
"You know that ] have been your
friend"
"Yes, pa"
you have been my dependence"
Yes, pa"
Nov, when l am gone your work
will be doubly hard. 1 want you to
care for your mother and sisters.
Don't let your sister Dahlia play the
fiddle"
"She shall not"
"And Charlotte, don't let your
sister Agate kiss the cat"
"She shall not"
"And, above all, 1 charge you to
pay attention to your pink-eyed
mother. Don't let her go out in the
dew without her gum shoes on. And,
Charlotte, you must never marry un-
less
He hadn't time to complete the
sentence.
When Charlotte met Belsmere she
discovered that she liked him, and he
discovered that he admired her.
Shortly afterward they went out in
the rain. He put his Mcintosh on
her and helped her across a spring
branch. Then they discovered that
they loved each other. This so ex-
cited her that, the next day, regard
less of the fact that she made an en-
gagement to eat cold pie with him,
she ran away to the house of sick
girl and remained until after lun-
cheon. Several days afterward he

hand. Both of them jumped. Then
she ran away to the mountains, sat
down on q rock and shook her head.
She would not marry him. The face
of her father came up and hung
against tree. She shuddered. If
she married and went away from
home Dahlia might play the fiddle
and Agate might kiss the cat.
She kept out of Roberts way But
he found her one stormy night. She
suddenly entered the kitchen where
be sat roasting potatoes.
(which wayp he asked.
ITO the mountains" she answered.
"rIl go with you"
They looked at each other and
went out together Rain was falling.
All this rain was necessary to keep
their lives from becoming dry. They
climbed the rugged path. Daggers
of lightning stabbed the earth. The
thunder roared.
"Why did you come hithera" he
asked.
"To see If I can find q ghost" she
answered.
You are not playing Hamlet, 1
hope"
She sighed. He caught her hands
and nibbled the ends OF her fingers.
81 cannot help if Dahlia does play
the fiddle or if Agate kisses the cat,
l am yours" she exclaimed.
