Adventures Of . Scientist.

Boussingault spent ten years In South
America, making use Of every opportu-
nifty to study the grand phenomena in
which that region Is so rich, and reaped
as the fruit Of his soiourn an abundant
harvest of observations in many depart
ments Of science. His work included
numerous mineral analyses; the dis
covery of new mineral, which he
named after one of his teachers, Gay
Lussite; analyses Of the milk Of the "cow
tree" of palm wax, of guanos, and OF
the thermal waters Of Venezuela; and
the discovery in the province of Antio-
quia of bed Of platinum, metal which
had previously been known only as it
was disseminated in sands. He often
made his analyses of minerals on horse
back, with the aid OF portable balance;
he carried Fortin barometer slung over
his shoulder, with which he estimated
the height of mountains. His methods
Of investigation were sometimes extraor-
dinarily ingenious.
In taking the temperature, for In
stance, in the crater Of Parto, having
found his thermometer inadequate, he
let down some Of the tin foil wrappings
Of his chocolate cakes. The tin was
melted. The temperature was, therefore,
higher than the melting point OF that
metal, or more than 2s5 degs. G. He
then let down a pistol ball, which was
not melted. The temperature was thus
found to be lower than the melting point
of lead, or less than 832 degs. G., and
was, therefore, somewhere between the
two extremes. The guide who accom-.
panied him on this adventure could not
conceal his nervousness at hearing the
subterranean roarings Of the volcano,
and. looking into the crater, asked,
what II It should burst QUIT" "Then
We should be lost" replied Boussingault'
The guide answered, Gained by the cool
ness Of his superior, THAT is what
think, too" In 1881 he accomplished
the ascent of Chimborazo, which Hum
boldt had been obliged to give up, witt

Six Hundred Millions of Cash.

If one of those giants about which we
heard so much in our younger days was
to develop modern Bill Sykes tendency
and select the treasury department as the
scene Of his operations, he might make a
pretty good haul, provided the watch
men allowed him to get away.
Suppose all the money in the treasury
was piled up in one room. My giant
burglar would find at his hand 1894, O00,-
900 in gold and silver, $3.50, 600, 900 in
bonds, and an additional 500, 900, 900 in
new silver dollars, if he happened to time
his visit when the new silver vault in the
main courtyard is full, and q silver
stream Of e500,000 . day Is steadily flow-
ing into that subterranean treasure house.
Here is nearly $600,O 900. Just
think Of it! More money than can be
found In any bank in Europe. The Bank

Now that the democrats have
captured the Governor and Legis-
lature of New Jersey, they are

to keep the State solidly democratic

propose to redistrict Hudson COun-

portions of the notorious "Horse-

"Bsking Day" in Australia.

A hard and tough compound, known
as dampr, is used as bread by the people
Of Australia. Judging from its consist
ency, one might guess, without being
told, that "baking day" does not come
very often ON the sheep runs. The
author of "Wild Life" thus describes the
making of dampr:
"Mike, the shepherd, brought out an
empty flour sack, carefully folded it in
two, laid it upon the ground, and spread
over it about five pounds of flour. Clear
ing space in the middle of the heap,
sometimes in the way that builders mix
mortar, he filled it with water, and
worked the -four in for half an hour,
when the dough was so stiff that, patted
out into cake three inches thick, it
might almost have kept its shape when
trundled along the ground.
"1is helper had by this time made a
fire large enough to roast sheep. Mike
pulled off the half burned brands. leav-
ing mass of glowing embers. Raking
these together he stirred them to drive off
all the dust, and then with a long stick
worked them away from the center.
Into this clear space upon the bare, heated
ground, he skillfully dropped the great,
cheese shaped cake of dough, and left ii
some minutes TO get the OUTSIDE used to
the heat as he said.
Finally the embers were scraped to.
gether and spread over the cake, and
this primitive outdoor oven was left to dc
its work. Just before bed time the cake
was withdrawn from the now powdery
ashes, and the shepherd, tapping it will
his knife handle, remarked, Sound:
holler! all right
Then he set it on its edge inside thu
hut to cool-a well baked dampr."

You will wish to purchase your

start you should provide yourself
with a map of the Gulf Route,
(Kansas City, Springfield 4 Mem

South to the West. This line runs
it's entire trains, with Pullman
Palace Sleeping Cars, free Reclin-

any other route.
For emigrants from the South to
Oregon, Washington and the Far

sirable, as holders of emigrant tick
cts are by this route carried in first
class cars on first-class trains. Close
connections are made at Union De-

routes, carrying free emigrant
