JUDGING OF DISTANCES.
A Task That Requires Considerable f
perience and Practice.

A Task That Requires Considerable Ex-
perience and Practice.
1t is only after experience and prac-
tice that we learn to Judge with mod.
crate certainty of distance in the
region to which we happen to belong.
AS soon as we go out from familiar
surroundings into others of different
character, we are all more or less de-
ceived in estimating distances about
us. Spoi tsmen discover this, to their
disgust, when they first enter upon
strange hunting-grounds.
The difficulty arises partly from the
nature of the surface, and partly from
the conditions of the atmosphere. So
far as the former case is effective, a
person used to II rough, billy land
scape, is apt to underrate the distance
when he first finds himself upon the
prairie, or upon the ice of frozen
pond.
Also a barren plain is more decep-
tive than one that is covered with veg
citation; but in this case perhaps more
is due to the air than the soil.
On the other hand, lei a person
whose home has been upon the prairie
90 into billy country and he will al
first be apt to Overestimate distances.
This, however, will not hold true if
he goes among mountains of any
considerable elevation, for here
the other cause of error the con.
dition of the air, comes into play, and
is by far the more effective of the two
Generally the clearer the air the
more distinctly we see objects through
it, and we judge of their distance by
the distinctness Of our vision. As We
go up the higher mountains we ris,
into thinner and purer atmosphere
through which we receive an impress
sion correspondingly clear, and hence
we conclude that the distance is pro
portionally less than it really is.
The higher up we go the clearer tn,
air and the more we are deceived. Il
is chiefly the increased purity of tn,
atmosphere over desert tracts tha
leads us into error when we Judge o
distance when looking at objects abou
us.
The liability to mistake will be the
other way on the part of those VIII
ora hrO,,Uht from tho rnni,ntoinc o,, +b
desert into a denser and less clear at
losphere than they have been accus
.Omed to. The same person will nee
to correct the testimony of his eye
every time he changes the condition
under which they are employed. Tn
inirmity, if so it may be called, is on
of the mind and not of the senses

Pursued by Hard Luck.

Perhaps the most unlucky ship that
was ever launched from an American
ship-yard was the Harvey Mills, which
closed her ten years career of disaster
by sinking off Cape Flattery on the
last day of December, 1886. She was
launched on Friday and was baptized
in blood, killing a workman when
gliding into the sea. Once in the mer-
chant service she met so many mishaps
that the underwriters actually classed
her as an extra hazardous risk. On
her first voyage she was all but lost,
and twice she narrowly escaped
laundering. She was on fire once,
while transporting cotton from Port
Royal to Liverpool, and was trans
formed into floating furnace. Her
matches were closed down, enabling
her to reach New York before the
flames cut through her deck. Later
she rode down and sank bark in the
English Channel, and none of the
bark's crew escaped to tell their side
of the story. On her next voyage she
was dismasted by hurricane. Twice
she was given up for lost, and when at
last she battled unsuccessfully with the
frightful gales off Cape Flattery, twen-
ty-one of the twenty-four unfortunates
on board were engulfed so quickly
when she sank that they could not even
grasp spar. Boston Jouradl.

Thoughts of the DYING.

Fere affirmed that dying person
in his last moments thinks of the
chief eveRts of his life. Persons re-
suscitated from drowning, epileptics
with grave attacks, persons dying
and already unconscious, but mo-
mentarily brought back to conscious
ness by ether injections to utter
their last thoughts, all acknowledge
that their last thoughts revert to
momentous events of their life.
Such an ether injection revives once
more the normal disposition of cele-
bral activity, already nearly extin-
guished, and it might be possible
at this moment " learn of certain
important events of the past life,
Brown-Sequard mentions the re-
markable fact that persons who, i'm
consequence of celebral affections
have been paralyzed for years, get
back at once when dying their sem
sibility, mobility, and intelligence.
All such facts clearly show that at
the moment of dissolution important
changes take place, reacting upon
the composition of the blood and
the functions of the organs. Med.

discovered the decomposing remains
Of what had once been full Of life
and vigor. The scene almost pros.
trated him, but he nerved himself
for the awful revelations that were
80 soon TO follow. In crossing the
south mill race ne saw what appear.
ed to be the body of an infant float
ing In the swiftly hurrying eddy.
Running along the bank Of the race
he tried withP long pole to catch the
body but was Nunsuccesssul until II
lodged against ihgfating which holds
back all drift Carefully, assisted
by long forked stick, he recovered
the bloated body Of the dead infant
from its watery grave, when tn,
gbastly discovery was made that
the corpse was that Of tiny little
pig, from which the hair had slip
ped, leaving smooth and human
like flesh exposed To view.

SOapstOne and Its Uses.

A writer in London journal calls
attention to the unappreciated uses
and preservative qualities of soap
stone, a material, he says, which
possesses what may be regarded as
extraordinary qualities in with
standing atmospheric influences,
those especially which have so much
to do with the corrosion of iron and
steel, and from experiments made it
is said that no other material is ca
pable of taking hold of the fiber of
iron and steel so readily and firmly
ss this. In China soapstone is
largely used for preserving struct-
ures built of sandstone and other
stones liable to crumble from the
atmosphere; and the covering with
powdered soapstone in the form of
paint on some obleisks in that coun-
try, composed of stone. liable to
atmospheric deterioration, has been
the means of preserving them intact
for hundreds of years.

Oregon Pacific Surveyors In Salem Look
ing Up an Extension to this City.
Mr.. Cooper, Of the Oregon Pacific
surveying corps, arrived down on
the train this afternoon. He comes
looking up projected extension Of
the lines Of the Oregon Pacific from
a point near Scio to Salem. He Is
being shown over the city and in
troduced by Mr.. Brink, a heavy con-
tractor on the Oregon Pacific.
The proposed ronte would leave
the main lines of the Oregon Pacific
at Scio junction, followinga north
westerly course until the valley Of
the Willamette should be reached.
This would ~ followed, as close to
the river as practicable, until Salem
was reached. The road will enter
this city from the, south.
There is strong talk ofsuch an ex-
tension, as the route would be one
easy of construction and quite prac-
ticable withal. There are no heavy
grades, but on the contrary grad
ual and easy ascent. Such line
would be of vast benefit to the San
tiam country as well as to the val
ley. Ihe freight traffic would be
simply immeuse.

Where Cbarcoal Made

About six miles north of this city,
on the river road, is a charcoal pit
where good quality Of charcoal is
made. AS some people have never
seen charcoal made it can be
explained in few words. Large
fir trees are cut down, the butts of
which are rolled together and cover
ed with dirt. The logs arg then set
on fire and made to shoulder, thus
producing in few days nice lot
of coal. In the meahtime, while
these logs are burning, a man stays
there night and day \ to keep
them from burning up or going out.
If the logs burn too fast he throws
on more dirt, which smothers the
fire and it burns slowly, thus produc-
ing the desired charcoal.

Made Him q New Nerve.

A remarkable surgical operation is
described by the Mapchester, Eng. J
Guardian: A small tumor was. re-
moved from an important nerve in
a patients arm, and during the oper-
alton some Of the nerve itself was
taken away. This was naturally
followed by loss of sensation in the
part of the skin to which the nerve
was distributed. After forty-eight
hours the surgeon, having obtained
piece Of healthy nerve from a leg
which had just been amputated, pro-
ceeded to restore the continuity of
his patients nerve with the borrow
ed piece of tissue. The result was
that sensation returned in thirty
six hours and there was every pros
pect of compile recovery.
