Or,. In OF Familiar Fairy Tales.

..Thc Babes in the Wood" according
to an English authority, is founded upon
an actual crime committed in Norfolk
near Wayland Wood, in the fifteenth
century. An old house in the neighbOr-
hood Is still pointed out, upon mantle
piece in which is carved the entire his
tory. ''Cindcrclla" has been traced to
an Egyptian story. About go Il. C.,
Princess RhOdope was bathing and left
her shoes upon the bank of the river.
An eagle pOunccd upon shoe and car
ried it off to king Psamitticus at Men,
phis. The king. struck with the small
ness and beauty Of the shoe, sent forth
proclamation for the owner. In due time
marriage was celebrated. Jack
the Giant Killer" Is said to be based
on the tradition Of COrineus, the
Trojan King Of Cornwall. and
one of the companions of BrutuS. who
amused his leisure by routing out the
native giants. ''Bluc Beard" was Count
COnOmor. of Brittany, who, having
murdered his previous wives, married
Tryphynea. the eighth. She having
learned his character, fled, but was pur-
sued and slaughtered. ''TOm Thumb"
'Li.tlc Tom OF Wales. no larger than
miller'S thumb" was King Arthur's
with Tom Of Lincoln, who married the
daughter of the mysterious PreSter John.
"Humpty- -Dumpty" was bold. bad
baron, who was tumbled from power in
the days of King John. His history was
put into a riddle, the meaning OF which

Notable Application Of Water Power.
Some interesting features are noted
in the power equipment of the Tread
we'll mill, Alaska-the largest quartz
mill in the world, consisting of 24O
stamps, 96 concentrators, II ore crush
ers, ETC., and requiring about 500 horse
power. All OF this machinery, covering
several acres OF ground, is run b. q
single wheel feet in diameter, operat-
ing under q head of 40 feet, making
235 revolutions, and using $50 cubic
feet of water per minute, this being dis
charged through nozzle 3-31 inches in
diameter; with q 4-inch nozzle this
wheel will work up to 735 horsepower.
Regulations is afforded by the use of q
DETECTING nozzle operated by q hy-
draulic governor; the nozzle is about
four feet long with q ball-joint at the
butt end, and to the discharge end is
attached by lever connections an auto
matte hydraulic regulator, which varies
the amount of water applied to the
wheel as may be needed to adapt it to
varying loads device which affords q
peculiarly simple, sensitive, and salts
factory regulation. With such an ar
rangement, and in such location, the
advantage of water-power is conspicQ-
Gus. Thus the wheel above mentioned
weighs but 800 pounds, and the entire
equipment. embracing shafts, boyes,

pounds; on the other hand. 3 steam

capacity of such . wheel. would not
weigh less than 200 tons. and the ex-
pense of running such plant would be
almost immessurably greater. Mining

THE value of character, in theory at

are lacking in it. Everybody under
stands that without some degree of con-
6dence in the. integrity of our fellow
men society would be An impossibiiity.
In certain of the relations of life We can
put men under bonds and compel them
to give security for their honesty; but
in by far the greater number of those
relations We are forced to rely on the
man himself, and on our belief in his
integrity. The entire credit system of
the country, with all its infinitely varied
rami6cations, depends on the confidence
which man reposes in his fellows; and
throughout the business world there is
. sharp line Of distinction drawn be-
tween the men who have always shown
themselves Trustworthy and those
whose reputation for honesty and in
tegrity has been smirched. The for

SOME sharpers have been working a
shrewd scheme in towns in Pennsyl-
vania- They were supplied with bottles
which they said with significant wink
contained cold tea, and they sold them
off rapidly at 50 cents apiece. That
wink, however, was q guile and . snare.
Instead of the fine old whisky which
every purchaser believed he was buying
the bottles had contained just what the
sharpers had said they contained-cold
tea. There was some tall swearing

victims declare they shall never buy

were spent for repairs. Next season
the small profit of this year will be

&l,OOO,OOO for q Gun.

According to news Just received by
way of London, the Messrs. Colt. our
famous American gun makers, have
bought the American rights to the Gif-
fard gun patents for 100000. Ex-
perts who have seen the gun in practice
are enthusiastic in its praise. The
French Government is said to be exper-
imenting on its application to cannon
of the largest size, says the Philadelphia
Record.
What is the Gigard gun? A few
days ago it was exhibited at the head
quarters of the Scottish rifle volunteers
in London. NJ. Giffard himself was
present. To outward appearance it was
a simple thing enough, consisting of q
small tube of toughest steel. only nine
inches in length, containing nothing
that, when opened, the eye can see, the eal
hear, the nose smell or the fingers touch.
Yet that small tube may yet be des.
tined to destroy empires.
The tough steel tube, nine inches
long, is charged with liGuetied carbonic
acid gas, the same gas that We breathe
from our lungs after every respiration,
but converted by liquefaction into one
of the most powerful propulsives
known. 1t is fixed to the barrel of the
rifle in such q way that when the trigger
is pulled drop of the liquefied gas is
forced into the breech of the gun be.
hind the bullet, where, instantaneousiy
resuming gaseous condition, it deve.-
ops force equal to 500 pounds pres.
sure on the square inch. The bullet is
then expelled at any degree of velocity
desired, for the power can be increased
or diminished by simple turn of the
screw. The pressure is equally dis.
tributed and continuously increased un.
til the bullet leaves the barrel. There
is no sudden explosion such as that
which constitutes the constant puzzle
of the artillerist to overcome. There is
no smoke, no noise, no recoiI, no smell,
no heat.
A slight fizz, like the escape of gas
from o soda water bottle, is the only
sound which announces the dispatch OF
q bullet that flattens itself against the
target at . distance Of 1000 yards.
There is no danger from leakage. The
new propellant is Indifferent to heat OF
damp. It will not burst under the i'm.
pact of heavy blow, and it is so cheap
that $50 bullets can be fired at the cost
of q penny.
