An engineering Feat which Engineer
John Muir Says IL Perfectly Feasible.
San Francisco special: John Mir says
that he has by no means yet completed
his explorations in Alaska. and that in re.
gard TO certain elephant remains theirs, the
bridging Of Behring sea, and other matters
be hopes soon to add information that
viii be Of great value to science. Although
the bridging Of Behring Straits has been
widely ridiculed. Muir is inclined to think
that such q feat will one day be accom-
plished. He says:
Senator Etanford's girdle Of steel
around the earth via Behring sea 10 q per
iectly feasible scheme. Behring straits can
be bridged. II is only sixty miles across
in the narrowest place, and there are three
islands strung along in it. This would di.
vide the bridge mp into four divisions. But,
besides this, the water is very shallow. In
many places it is not over twentyfee t deep.
I undertake to say that If q man was
strong enough to take once Of our California
redwood trees In his hands he could put it
down anywhere over the 600 miles Of Beh-
ring sea and yet have 100 feet OF it left
above the water. This shows how easy
it would be to bridge the straits. The only
trouble would be from floating icsbergs,
but that could be easily overcome by con-
structing swinging bridges, like they have
across the river at Chicago. In this way
the straits could be kept clear all the time.
and trains OF cars could run right along.

Not Far From Perpetual Motion.

The authorities at the pension Office say
that perpetual motion ia certainly a thing
no longer to be laughed at. Chief Clerk
Liscomb insists that they now have at the
patent office models that do good until
they wear out, and they have the power to
run till doomsday. But they are all. so
far, useless. because they can do nothing
else but run themselves. But he thinks
the machine will come that will be OF prac-
teal use by running other machines: Pos
sibly; but it is 50 very improbable that we
shall do well by going on with the perfect.
ing OF electric machinery and steam engines.

Death nof Life.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 14.-Dr. A. B. Shaw Of this
city, who has been making microscopic ex-
aminations of Brown-Sequard elixir" dis
covered that the fluid was alive with count
less bacteria, although but three hours had
elapsed since the elixir was prepared Ba-
zcillus tuberculosis, the bacillus that is sup
posed to cause tuberculosis, were found in
great quantity, thousands being in a single
drop of the mixture. DR.. Shaw could arrive
at but one conclusion, namely, that
the glands were from sheep in
fected with the bacilli of tubercle,
as the mortar and pestle and the distilled
water had been thoroughly sterilized before
the mixtute was made. DR.. Shaw estimated
that in drachm of the injection millions OF
these bacilh would have been put into the
system, each one capable of multiplying it
self indefinitely. The danger underlying
such treatment can readily be seen, and the
chances would be ten to one that the tuber-
cuIosis in some form would manifest itself
in the person inoculated. DR.. Shaw has
since made other experiments, and in two of
them the bacillus tuberculosis was discov-
cred. The -od-shaped bactlI were also found
in several samples of mixture made.

the people of Townsend, which is situated at
the crossing of the Missouri river by the
Northern Pacific railroad thirty miles east of
Helena. The river is so low at that point
that it can be forded in a buggy, and large
area of the river bed is exposed. Men of
Townsend have recently begun ground
sluicing for placer gold on the exposed por-
tons OF the river bed and have struck it rich
The first experiment. yielded So to $40 per
day to the man and now almost the whole
population of Townsend have turned miners.
It has long been known that gold deposits
were plentiful in the channel of the upper
Missouri, and frequent attempts have been
made TO work them by dredging, but this
method was So expensive that neariy all
such attempts proved Improbable. Now
that the low stage OF water exposes these
placers, they can be worked to advantage.

was waited high up over the broad bosom OF

child's life The exciting incident took place
at Sheffield Park and was witnessed by
1900 picknickers. An Italian peddler oftoy
balloons attempted to serve two purchasers
at once and in doing so let go his string of
bright-colored globes. The cord got twisted
about Sophia's left arm and also in her hair
and the buoyant rubber bubbles started
heavenward, taking the youthful Bronaut
along. Sophie's m other shrieked and tainted
The sstoodhorrorstricken, scarcely
breathing as the balloons swept close to o
large oak tree and the infant grasped O
handful of twigs and checked her fight A
muscular young German was ascending the
tree in an instant, and then crept out on the
branch nearest the child. At this moment
Sophia's punny strength gave out and the
balloon, suddenly released, went again up
ward at least 100 feet, drifting then out over
the lake. Gust Koch, sharpshooter who
was attending the picnic with his repea ting
rife, hurriedly jumped into a skiff with two
companions and pulled out into range. Koch
succeeded in piercing several of the balloons,
each successful shot helping the bunch to de-
scend. Before it finally reached the water,
the boat was at the spot, and little Sophie
did not even get her feet wet.
