The Lyons and liverpool Dams.

The two largest dams in Europe are
the new dam building for the Liver
pool waterworks, about fifty miles out
Of the city. The other dam, which is
said to be the largest in the world, is
at Lyons, France. and after n quarter
of a century of labor is now nearly
completed. But even this will BE
second in point of size. if not in en-.
gineering skill, to the new quaker
bridge dam in New York when it is
done. That big dam at Lyons is GER
tainly a wonderful bit of work. said
Mr.. Coleman. 81 don't remember the
exact figures now, but l think it is rs
feet high. The foundations are 100
feet deep. AT the summit the wall is
about 1000 feet long. though much mar.
rover at the bottom, of course. be-
cause the dam is built across a valley,
between two steep hills. The body of
the dam is OF concrete, with solid stone
facing. 1t is u substantial job, good
material, good Workmanship. no
chances taken on anything. The
Liverpool dam is smaller, but in every
way as fine a bit of work. They have
utilized a new idea there by dropping
big powders into the bed Of concrete.
Nothing short of a miracle is going
to make that dam give way. Tho
~thoroughness and substantially of
works of this kind in England impress
an American, particularly a man who
has lived in the west as 1 have and
seen some of the hasty work thrown
together there. Labor is cheaper here.
The men a take longer time at their
work and be more thorough with it.
The laborers certainly do take their
time. In New York twenty-five men
would do as much work in a day as
any,forty men whom | saw at work ON
the Liverpool dam. But this is my
candid opinion: S far as skill in con-
struction goes British engineers and
contractors have nothing to teach u.s.

Electricity plays perhaps the most
wonderful part in all these huge works.
Not far from the main fort, there
would be built a little round building.

The tower would be strong, and inside
would DO the wonderful ~key-boards Of

the commander could telephone to the
captain of any battery to load his
guns, and aim them at such and such
IN angle and direction. The captain
of the battery would do so and tele.
phone back the moment he was ready.

About Adam and Eve.

About Adam and Eve.
When Adam was created
He dwelt in Eden's shade
As Moses has recorded,
And soon a bride was made.
Then Adam he rejoiced
To see his loving bride,
A part Of his own body,
The product of his side.
The woman was not taken
From Adams feet we see,
So he must not abuse her,
The meaning seems to be.
The woman was not taken
From Adams head, we know. =

Ills evidently SO.

From under Adams arm,
SC she must he protected
From injuries and harm.

The WAY to Capture Cut-Throats Who
Operate In the Mountains.

| Tho WAY to Capture Cut-Throats Who
| Operate In the Mountains.
| The frequent murders committed In
this State have revived the subject or
using blood-hounds for the capture Of
the murderers. The roads leading
throughout the mountains afford safe
field for the operation OF such fends.
Under existing conditions man may
be murdered in open daylight, and no
matter how vigilant the officers. 1t Is
next to impossible to hunt down the
| perpetrators.
Once out Of sight OF the scene where
the tragedy was committed the mur-
derer is safe, unless pure accident
reveals his identity. But II each sheriff
of the different counties were empow-
cred by law or demanded by custom TO
keep pack OF blood-hounds, escape
would be next to impossible. II it
were known that at every county seat
there were such animals, the discover
er OF dead body in the highway would
guard the spot and keep all footst cps
away until the dogs arrived, so that
the sure scent would be gained. Then
the officers would only have to follow
the hounds to catch the guilty party.
Blood-hounds are said 10 be able TO
follow the deer or other animal Of
which they are in pursuit through
herd after herd OF the same animals,
and they will recognize its trail on the
ground as long as twelve or fourteen
hours after the creature has passed by,
and il II is lost on one day, and they
are put upon its fresh track the follow
ing morning they will follow it as long
as it runs on solid ground. In pursu-
ing they are so slow that horse can
always keep them in sight, and in
long chase an active pedestrian can
keep them in hearing. They can be
trained to chase slowly, II necessary.
These dogs never make mistake in
their man. They will follow the trail
Of the one they are after. no matter
how many other foot marks cross it.
Let 1t once be known that blood
hounds are within reaching distance
and highway murderers would be ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t would break
up the traffic, for such men would
know their detection was sure. They
have been objected TO on the ground OF
inhumanity. But these humanitarians
seem to think only of the murderers,
and MOI OF the innocent who are the
subject OF their brutality. The owner
of a pack of bloodhounds in county
would be terror to evil-doers. II
would break up the gangs of despera-
does that now flourish. 1t would mako
life and property more safe. Incendi-
aries and burglars would soon quit
operations If thcy knew their trail
would lead to their discovery. Blood
hounds would save tho counties need
less expense in tho trial of innocent
persons who are sometimes arrested on
suspicion. Bloodhounis ought TO be
kept in every mountain county.-Ne-

CROSSING The LEGS.

Some Curious Facts About tho Most fa-
mlilar Masculine Habit.
Men generally cross their legs when
there is least pressure on their minds.
You will never find man actually en-
gagged In business with his legs
crossed. The limbs at those times are
straighter than at any other, because
the mind and body work together. A
man engaged in auditing accounts will
never cross his legs, neither will a
man who is writing an article, or who
Is employed in any manner whore his
brain Is actually engaged. When at
work In sitting posture the limbs
naturally extend to the floor in per-
fectly straight line. A man may
cross his legs II he is sitting in an of
fee chair discussing some proposition
with another man, but the instant he
becomes really in earnest and per-
celves something to be gained, his
limbs uncross quick as u flash, he
bends forward towards his neighbor
and begins to use his hands. That is
phase that believe you will always
observe.
Men often cross their legs at public
meetings, because they go there to
listen, or to be entertained; they are
not the factors in the performance, and
they naturally place themselves in the
most comfortable position known to

eREAK-soNE FEVER.
A Disease Characterized by Rash Resem-

| A Disease Characterized by n Rash Resem-
bling That OF Scarlet Fever.
During the yellow fever pestilence
in the South this year. there was re-
ported an outbreak in one place OF
dengue, or what is commonly known
in this country as "break-bone fever. "
Dengue - pronounced gen-ga = is
characterized by severe pains in the
joints. back, neck, temples and eyes,
by severe prostration, and rash
somewhat resembling that Of scarlet
, fever. Most OF the bodily organs may
be more or less affected. The patient
may have felt well up to the first mo-
ment OF attack, and his first symptom
may have been pain in single joint
Of his finger, which soon extends to
the other joints and bones. After one
or two days there is generally a remis-
sion from two to four days. when
the fever returns. This, at length,
gradually subsidies but leaves the
patient weak and in much pain, and
recovery TO health is slow. 1t is a
self-limiting disease, with tendency
OF itself TO favorable termination.
In some cases 1t is exceedingly mild;
in some it may be exceedingly severe
and fatal.
1t is probably due to microbes, and,
like other diseases, having similar
cause, tends to become epidemic, and
may have an extensive spread. 1t is
native TO India and some other Eastern
countries, but is wholly unknown in
England. II has prevailed as an epi-
demic in the West Indies, South Amer
lea and the Gulf States of the United
States. Its prevalence seems depend
ent on some undetermined atmos-
pheric conditions, but, like most epi-
denies, 1t follows lines of travel and
social intercourse. 1t seems to be we'll
established that every epidemic OF
dengue has been carried directly from
place to place. Its course, and the
means by which 1t has made its jour
neys, are usually capable of being ac-
curately traced.
Epidemics prevailed along our South
ern coast in 1928, 1850 and 1880, all OF
which, 1t is believed, were clearly
traceable to importation. In 1885 the
dengue swept over Texas, and spared
but few towns. 1t was peculiarly
severe type, was attended by unusual
complications, and followed by very
grave sequel@, or after results. In
Austin alone there we're twenty thou
sand cases, and vet OF these only twelve
proved directly mortal. The infectious
character Of the disease seems to have
been generally unknown, and hence no
efforts were made to prevent coptagion.
The microbe-the living organism to
which the disease is believed TO be due
lis thought to have been discovered
