The sun was beginning to sink as
they started to drive homeward by
an unirequented track cleared
through the jungle. Soon they came
10 an open space, and there, Gan at
once, writes one of them. "on look

Fortunately, the bullocks did not
scent him, or they would have bolted
and probably upset the tonga, leay-

beast. AS we were passing him he
left the tree under which he had been
standing, and came toward us in
cronehing manner, asifmaking ready

tiger, and very fine one.
TO say we were frightened would
not be wide of the mark, especially
as he moved parallel with us for
about twenty wards, keeping his eye
upon us the whole time, and looking
as il determined to have at least one

up his bullocks, we shouted, and one
OF us opened and shut a white UNI

the tiger, who disappeared into the

Making the Sun Work.

One of the most notable inventions
displayed at the Paris exhibition is
an apparatus for transforming the
heat of the sun into motive power for
pumping water and other mechanical
uses. 1t is the device of French in
yentor named Charles Teller.
This apparatus is of great interest
as foreshadowing the time when solar
heat. in combination with electric
transmission of force, will be made
to furnish motive power fer AL en-
gines, and take the place of coal and
steam-a change which will vastly
cheaper manufactures and travel,
and greatly enhance human comfort
the world over.
The heat which comes to the earth
in the suns beams is, as has long
been known, the equivalent of from
one to five or more horse power for
every square yard of the earth's sur
face, according to the latitude and
the season of the year.
The utilization of this waste heat,
its conversion into disable power, has
been the study of inventors, and
much time and great sums of money
have been spent uponit. NJ. Tellier's
continuance aims to accomplish this
object. -Swedesboro News.

The Brass Mule Cure.

A traveller, recently returned from
Pekin, tells us that he saw method
OF cure which may be new to some OF
our renders. In temple outside one
OF the city gates is to be found a
brass mule OF life size, supposed to
have wonderful healing properties.
Patients suffering from every imag-
Unable disease seek this temple to OBJ
tain n cure. The method pursued is
as follows: Surprising you suffer
from sciatica, you go with all speed
TO this famous temple, and, having
discovered the particular part of the
brass mule corresponding to the
painful REGION OF your own body, you
must rnb the animal a certain num-
her oi times aud then with the same
hand shampoo your own disabled
member, and then-wcll, then the
pain goes.
The special feature of this method
ofcure is its delightful simplicity. Is
your tooth aching? just scrub the
mules teeth aud afterwards your
own, and voilal the cure is complete.
Have you an ulcer of the cornea?
Pass the tips of your fingers to and
fro over the particular eyeball of the
mule, and then with well regulated
pressure rub repeatedly the afflicted
eve. The mule has unhappily lost
his sight during the many years he
has been engaged in his benevolent
work, the eyebnlls, we are told, hav-
ing been gradually worn away, as
the result OF constant friction, until
now you have only the empty orbits
to operate upon.
The animal is patched in all direc-
tions with fresh pieces of brass put
on To cover holes produced by the
constant friction of eager patients,
and new. perfectly whole mule
stands ready at hand awaiting the
day when his old colleague, having
fallen to pieces in the service, shall
give him an opportunity of likewise
benefting poslerity. North China

Oldest man who has lived in this CEN
fury is dead. Victoriana was an In
liam and was 132 years of age when
he passed to the happy-hunting-
grounds of the good red man. He
passed his last days at an Indian viii
lage called Sohoba which is situated
iu the northern part of San Diego
county, California. Nictoriana was
one OF the most picturesque and in
teresting figures among the scattered
tribes of the extreme West. He was
unique, in that be was noted for his
industry, honesty and sobriety. In
his younger days Victoriana was a
very "big Injun," as was also his ia
Their before him. The latter was one
of the makers of Indian laws now ex-
sitting among the redskins. and his
word was always final in the settle
ment ofdisagreements or the elucida-
tion of knotty subjects. A curious
incident in Victoriana's life was that
toward the close of it, his eyes though
retaining their keenness of vision to
the last, slowly shrivelled and dried
up in his head, until there was no
trace of either eyelid or pupil. Not
withstanding his loss ofsight, how
ever, he Travelled about on a trusty
horse, havinggone to town on horse
back ON the very day of his death.
He was true stole, with the indo-
mitable courage and indifference to
hardship so characteristic OF the
American Indian. Victoriana was
supposed to have reached the re-
markahly advanced age OF 1872 years,
and in all probability was much old
er, His hair was perfectly white,
which is an occurrence of great rarity
among the redmen.

A Story About Horace Greeley

A Story About Horace Greeley.
To interrupt Horace Greeley when
he was in the throes OF bringing forth
an editorial-an editorial which has
never been equaled in the journalism
of America-an editorial which was a
slogan for his party, at hunderbolt
for his foes-was danger which no
friend, no enemy, none but fool,
dared to encounter. l was once in
his editorial sanctum when the fool
was there, said Chauncey Depew in a
speech to the Buffalo Press club. To
relieve your apprehensions, Twas not
the fool. But he was one of those
itinerant and persistent gentlemen
with a subscription book. He kept
presenting it while old Horace was
writing-as most of you remember,
with his pen away up to his chin like
this tillustrating)-and Horace had
a habit, when anyone would interfere,
of kicking, and so he kicked at the
subscription fiend. Finally, when he
saw he could not getrid ofthe intrud-
er by this means he stopped in the
middle of sentence, turned round
and said raspingly in that shrill
voice of his:
"What do you want2 State it
quick, and state it in the tewest posi-
BILE words"
"Well, said the subscripti On fiend.
81 want subscription, Mr.. Greeley,
To prevent thousands of my fellow
human beings from going to hell"
Said MIR. Greeley: 81 won't give
you a - cent. There don't halt
enough go there now"

Great Bridge.

New York seems to be in earnest
about making the Worlds Fair OF
1892 something worthy of American
iame. The idea of erecting a tower
to eclipse that OF NJ. Eiffel does not
appear to find very great favor. In
its place far more practical scheme
is advocated by the American press.
A Philadelphia contemporary ad-
vises the New Workers to put can.
tilever bridge across the Hudson
from the Heights to Morningside
park. Any engineer ean set a truss
upon end as NJ. Eiffel has done. 1t
takes genius to put that sticking
out sideways over space. The Eiffel
tower would not make railing to
the Forth bridge, which is equal to
six Eitfel towers strung out sidewise.
and while the Eifiel tower only bears
its own weight, the Forth bridge
would carry pile of 300 locomo-
tives. IL New York really wants to
to add TO the wonders ot the world
she should match the Forth bri6ge
with n mightier rival. The Eiffel
tower is mere gingerbread and spun
glass by the side of such bridge as
would span the space from the exhi-
bition site to the New Jersey heights.
The two 700 foot cantilevers aud the
$50 feet of the central span in the
Forth bridge would have to be beat
en-, even with central pier; but once
done all New York valuations would
feel the impulse for century of a
bridge that blotted out the Hudson
for railways and left it untouched for
steamships.

A New States story.

J. c. White and G. W. Elder. both
well-known business men, spent
Thanksgiving hunting for an eagles
nest in the Buttes. They found it on
top of the highest peak, and three
little eaglets were comfortably
domiciled therein. The mother bird
was absent. Elder took one of the
little birds and began the descent of
the mountains. Ere they had tray
ersed 200 yards the old bird re-
turned and assailed them. White
carried both of the eaglets while FL
der tried to keep the mother off
by throwing rocks at her.
The scheme worked very well for a
while, until the latter, instead of
swooping down at them, began pick
ing up rocks weighing from 5 to 10
pounds and letting them drop at
them from an elevation of fifty to
seventy-five feet, when the daring
sportsmen concluded 'twere better
to quit, and dropped the eaglets and
fled from the scene. -Gridley Mont

Four Thousand Years.

How many of the engineering
works of the Nineteenth Century will
here be in existence in the year
5000? Very few, it is feared, and
aill less those that will continue in
jhe far-off age to serve a useful pur-
pose. Yet there is at least one great
Undertaking conceived and executed
by an engineer. which, during the
space of 1000 years, has never ceased
is office, on which tine life of fertile
province absolutely depends to-day.
We refer to the Bahr Joussuf-the
ANAL of Joseph-built, according to
tradition, by the son of Jacob, and
which constitutes not the least of
The many blessings he conferred on
Egypt during the years of his pros
porous rule. This canal took it's rise,
as given in Engineering, from the
Nile at Asiut, and ran nearly paraI-
lei with it for nearly two hundred
and fifty miles, creeping along I'M
der the western cliffs of the Nile
Valley, with many bend end
winding, until at length it gained
an eminence, as compared with the
riyerbed, which enabled it to turn
westward through narrow pass,
and enter a district which was other
wise shut off from the fertilizing
foods on which all vegetation in
Egypt depends. The northern end
stood seventeen feet higher than low
Nile, while at the southern end il was
at an equal elevation with the river.
Through this cut ran a perennial
stream, which watered a province
named the Fayoum, endowing il with
fertility and supporting a large pop
nlation.
In the time of the annual food q
great part of the canal was under
water, and then the river current
would rush in more direct course
into the pass, carrying with it the
rich silt which takes the place of
manure. and keeps the soil in state
of constant productiveness. And
this, with the exception of the tradi-
ton that Joseph built it, can be YER
flied to-day, and it is not mere SUPP
position or rumor. Until eightyears
ngo it was firmly believed that the
design has always been limited to an
irrigation scheme, larger, no doubt,
than that now in operation, as
shown by the traces of abandoned
canals, and by the slow aggregation
OF waste water which had accumulat-
ed in the Birket Ell Queran, but still
the same incharacter.
MANY accounts have been written
by Greek and Roman historians,
such as Herodotus, Strabo. Mutt
anus and Pliny, and repeated in
monkish legends or portrayed on the
maps of the Middle Ages, which
agreed with the folklore of the dis
trict. These tales explained that The
canal dug by the ancient Israslite
served to carry the surplus waste OF
the Nile into an extensive lake lying
south of the Fayoum, and so large
that it not only modified the climate,
tempering the arid winds on the
desert and converting them into the
balmy airs which nourished thevines
and olives into fullness of fragrance
unknown in any part of the country,
but also added TO the food supply OF
the land such immense quantities OF
fish that the royal prerogativeof tile
right of piscary at thegreat weir was
valued at $250,000 annually. This
lake was said to be $50 miles round;
and to be navigated by feet Olives
sells, while the whole circumference
was the scene of industry and pros
perity.
