Snow Forts i'm War.

great many young play warriors have
built formida blesnow forts, but they never
have imagined probably that there could be
such a thing as the use of snow forts by ac-
tual soldiers and for purposes OF defense
against bullets
Lately, however, the Norwegian officers
havo been conducting some interesting ex-
periments in snow Notifications
A colonel in the royal service recently had
constructed intrenchments of packed snow,
about three yards in thickness. Then he
placed a firing detachment a distance of
thirty-three yards from tho intrenchments
and caused more than three hundred rifle
shots to be fired into the fort
After the firing the snow walls were ex-
amined and IL was found that not single
rifle ball had penetrated more than yard
and quarter into the snow
The bullets were found ilattened out, as if
they bad been fired into some hard substance.
Such breastworls would undoubtedly prove
very useful against Infantry in Il winter cam
paign in snowy country. But military
force intrenched behind them would have oc-
easion to fear n thaw or a heavy rain quite
as much as the bullets of the enemy.-Y outh 5

Tho Duration of lightning.

1t has become important, in connection
with the newer ideas on the lightning dis
charge, to determine whether the flash has a
sensible duration or is instantaneous Ac-
cordingly NJ. Jansen, the well known French
physicist, has devised camera for measur-
ing the time occupied by flash. 1t is made
double; one half containing a disc of sensi-
tized paper, which is fixed; the other half a
similar disc, which is rotated round an axis
through its center and perpendicular to its
plane. The velocity Of its rotation is known
1t follows that when lightning flash is pho
tographeds by this double camera the two
images will not be exactly alike and capable
Of being superposed, because one plate is in
motion while the other is fixed But as a
matter Of fact ~ Jansen finds that the i'm
ages he has taken are capable of superposi-
ton, and therefore he infers the duration of
the flash to be very small. Herald

Mr.. jackson Expounds the Law

ar. Henry j. jackson, secretary of the
commissioners of emigration, said:
"The right of the board to reject immi-
grants, who, on examination, arc found I'M
able to maintain themselves was fully tested
in 1854 The commissioners claimed, under
the act OF congress to regulate immigration,
the judicial right to determine who were
likely to become a public charge, and in this
opinion they were supported by the secretary
of the treasury and fully sustained by the
courts
I'm July, 1884, fifty-two persons unable to
take care of themselves without becoming a
public charge were found on board one of the
steamships arriving at this port. These per-
sons were returned TO the country whence
they came, and for them writ of habeas
corpus was obtained returnable before the
New York supreme court.
Much difficulty was experienced in max
ing proper examination Of the immigrants
Immediately on arrival, and it was suggested
to tho steamship companies that they give a
bond TO the commissioners of emigration in
the sum of $1,000 conditioned to return to
the country whence they came all immigrant
passengers brought by their vessels who, on
examination at Castle Garden, should be ad-
judged as not entitled to land. This bond
was proposed and submitted to the steamship
companies, who accepted it, and it was duly
approved by the secretary of the treasury. ~

In advertising Gillette's new play, "A
Legal Wreck said the agent, Harry
Powers, OF HoOley's, has unconsciously been
the cause of bitter strife between a number
Of young lawyers of this city One day a
young limb of the law took a bill announcing
the play, cut out the title and pasted it upon
the door of a rival lawyer across the hall
This lawyer was at the matinee at the time
and he returned to his office before he went
homo, to tear from his door the notice
Gone to court-back in half an hour when
he WIS chagrined to find under his name on
the door the legend, a Legal Wreck Look
ing across the hall he found his rivals door
adorned with a card reading, Gone to the
law library He fixed the offensive placard
under the rivals name and then went around
the corner and discovered him eating cheese
sandwich and drinking glass of beer in the
law library The two young lawyers nearly
came to blows when they found each other
the guilty party, and when the story leaked
out the Legal Wreck posters were in de-
mand in law offices all around town When
Mr.. Powers heard of the row he created he
had copies OF the novel, a Legal Wreck,

HUNTING THE HEIRS.

Been Attained in Hunting Them Up.

The ChtIaren OF David Stoddard.
Murderer, and the success That Has
Been Attained in Hunting Them Up.
The ARGUS has noted the success at
tanned by Sheriff Silvis in finding the
heirs of David Stoddard, hung in Rock
Island for murder in 1856, and for whom
there is fortune of $4,000 at Caluss,
Cal. Sheriff Silvis. few weeks ago re-
ceived letter from Stewart Harris, Of
Calusa, CAL, asking for information as to
the whereabo uts Of Stoddard's children,
II any still exist, and stating the fact that
TO them was left an estate of $25 900 by
recent death of an aunt in California.
The ARGUS published these facts and il
was not long before many letters came in
response from people quite anxious aud
ready to prove their relationship to the
murderer, Stoddsrd. Among these let
ters was one from Mrs. Malinda Wood,
of Grand Rapids. Mich. declaring that
she was the oldest daughter of Stoddsrd.
stating that there were three children
who survived Stoddard-two boys and
herself. The boys went into the war
and that was the last she heard of them
Feeling pretty well satisfied that Mrs.
Wood was the probable heiress as she
also submitted facts tending to establish
her identity, Sheriff Silvis communicated
the same to Stewart Harris, administra-
tor OF the estate that is seeking heir,
and he is now in receipt of the following
letter bearing further on the subject:
CALUsA. Cal, March 81, 1889.
Mr.. T. S. SILvIs:-Dear Sir: Yours
of March Is received. am under obli>
cations to you for the interest you have
taken In assisting me in finding the heirs
to the estate of Mrs. Orilla NJ. Harris.
whose maiden name was Stoddard. She
was the wife Of my brother, Robert Har.
ris, who died in 1878. leaving her a val.
liable estate. Since the time of their
marriage, some twenty years ago, have
not heard her speak of her relatives back
east. Some of her relatives lived in Ca
lusa county, but they professed to
know nothing aooutany others In Illinois.
L have had hard time In striking
the trail, but as you may suppose. l am
learning constantly of fresh relatives
every day. There is rot likely TO be any
particular trouble in finding enough of
them to take the money out of my hands,
as soon as they prove themselves en-,
titled to shares of the estate.
l first learned from citizen that Mrs
Harris had brother, David Stoddard,
who was hung at Springfield. ILL.,, in
1865. wrote the sheriff there; he re-
ferred me to Springfield. Mo. l accord
ingly opened correspondence with the
sheriff at that place. and he informed me
that Stoddard had been executed at Rock
Island. What, through YOU, has been
done In advertising the matter is likely
TO find enough heirs to use up an estate
If 1t was six times as large.
Yours very respectfully,
STEWART HARRIS.

Berries, and other well known vegetable
remedies, by combination, proportion and
process peculiar to itself, and by which the
full medicinal value of all the ingredients
