THE KITE AT ST. JOHNS.
PEARY's BNTIRE RELIEF EXPRDI-
TIoN ON BOARD.

The Party in Excellent Health-Mr,
Vorhoeff Loses His Life by Falling
Into CrevAsse While on an Rxpe-
dition of His Own-The Expedition
Eminently Successful.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. ia special
to the Ledger from st. Johns, n. F., says:
THE Kite arrived here this afternoon from
North Greenland, whence II sailed Aug.
"a. On board are the entire Peary relief
expedition in good health, with Lieut.. and
Mrs. Peary and party, except Mr.. Vor-
hoeff, who, it is believed, lost his life
shortly after the return OF the Peary
expedition from the inland ice by falling
into orevasse Of glacier at she head OF
Robertson's bay. the body Of water adjoin-
ing Mccormick bay, while on an expedition
of his own to neIghboring Esquimau set
tlement.
THE EXPEDITION sUCC sssFUL..
With the exception of this casualty, which
has saddened both parties. the two expedi-
tions have been sminently successful. Mr.
Peary has carried out his plans fully and
made great inland ice journey Of !. 800 miles
with Mr.. Astrupp. and, through members
Of his party, who remained at Mccormick
Bay, has made rich collection of fora, fauna
and ettmology Of Greenland. besides which
he has demonstrated the ease and comfort
with which winter eau be spent In the arctic
regions.
THE RELIEF EXPEDITION
has been equally fortunate. Not an essen
tial plan proposed by Prof Heilprin has
miscArried, and many things were ac-
complished not considered feasible before
sailing Throughout the voyage no serious
mishap occurred, and the collections made
are probably unprecedented. even by many
northern expeditions remaining for longer
period Of time. II made an almost com
plete collection Of
WATER AND LAND MAMMALS,
both In skins and skeletons; q large variety
OF birds and submarine animal life; a rare
collection Of Towering plants, moses, lioh~
ems and insects, aud of chronological specimens
the like of which has probably never been
seen before. except, perhaps, IN the museum
Rt Copenhagen.

The right OF the government to use the

the act ceding the place to the government

Modern Education.

With all its novel modern powers and
practical sense am forced to admit that
the purely scientific brain is miserably
mechanical; it seems to have become a
splendid sort of self directed machine,
an incredible automaton, grinding on
with its analysis or constructions. But
for pure sentiment, for all that spon-
taneous Greek waywardness of fancy,
for the temperature of passion and the
subtler thrill of ideality, you might as
well look to a wrought iron derrick.
Science found education blundering
peacefully along, cultivating half of the
mind with charming results and letting
the other die of disuse; it worked the
startling miracle of electrifying this
dead half into life and bringing it to
perfect activity, and straightway, salts
fed with this remarkable achievement,
it proceeded to neglect the ideal half
which the classics had made so much of
and caused it to perish. It has substi-
tuted new sort of half man for the old
one.-Clarence King in Forum.

Big Field Guns and Their Effect.

If you insist on high velocity you have
to add SO much additional machinery to
your gun carriage and have to so greatly
strengthen its construction that you
destroy its mobility, while even if you
gain long range you are still unable to
make use Of your most efficient projec-
tile at it, Moreover, since the remain
ing velocity of its shrapnel is a truer
measure Of the value of a gun than it's
initial velocity, and the two are by no
means directly proportional, it does not
follow that we benefit as much as we
might expect by submitting to these
disadvantages. Thus, the 12-pounder
has an initial velocity of over 1,700 feet
per second and a remaining velocity at
5000 yards of S62 feet; while the
13-pounder, with an initial velocity of
only 1,560 feet, has at the same range a
remaining velocity greater by six feet
per second than that of it's rival
One of our highest authorities on field
artillery has, indeed, recorded his opin-
ion, that, as regards the efficiency of
shrapnel, we gain nothing by the in
creased muzzle velocity of 1.-THE best field
gun in Europe" at all practical ranges.
Moreover, it is the attempt to squeeze
out the last few extra feet that does all
the harm.-London Saturday Review.

Washing Little IndianH.

We were camped at the Hot Springs
on the Lo Lo trail, made famous in In
dian annals by the escape of Chief Jo-
seph and his band of Nez Perces. Just
above us was large Smp of Flatheads
who were making their fall hunt. One
morning we were awakened by shouts
and cries. Evidently there was great
excitement somewhere, and we promptly
jumped up. II was just after daylight
and cold clouds of steam were rising
from the big basin shaped pool at the
foot of the granite wall, from which
poured thick stream of boiling water.
The pool was so large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold. The
nearer you approached to the place
where the water burst from the rock the
better chance you stood of getting boiled.
At the edge, at a point where the water
was of comfortable temperature, stood
two Indians, one on the bank and the
other on stone in the water. Near by
were dozen other Indians guarding a
number of little Indian boys and girls
who had nothing on and were bowling
and crying.
When we looked out of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy, one holding him by the feet the
other by the hands, and were gravely
swinging him backward and forward
through the warm water, while he yelled
at every dip. AS soon as they had fin
ished with him he was set upon the bank,
and ran to the willow brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dams feared that it was his turn. They
all tried to escape to the brush, but theiI
elders pursued and caught them, unit.
the very last one had been put through
the cleansing process.-New York Sun.

POMONA, April 23.-The Republican
caucus nominees for delegates to the
county convention we're elected today
by heavy majority. There was no
fight on except in one precinct, where
an opposition ticket was put up against
Senator McComas, General Wasson and
Mr.. Pratt, but the opposition was not
strong enough by about two to one.
The Occidental chloride Of gold insti-
tute has leased building on the corner

The splendid reports of the Santa Bar
bara flower fair, which appear in the
HERALD, has the effect to stimulate our
people to extra eKertions in arranging
tthe Pomona fair, go that it will be in all
possible particulars equal to the very
best.
Two gigantic real estate deals were
consummated today. The eighty-acre
orange grove of M. M. Balbridge at
Covina was bought by Col. George
Rhorer of this city and his brother
Henry Rhorer of st. Souls. The price
paid was $4,000, and this is considered
very much below its actual value, as the
orchard is in full bearing, being prin-
cipally navels, planted and cared for un-
der the special supervision of Mr..
Baldridge from the planting of the seed
bed. the budding and the planting in
orchard until the present, and it is pro-
nounced the finest orange grove in all
Southern California by those who have
seen it. We are glad to enroll them
among our citizens.

0Iirr~rs Made of Wood.

In Germany wood with mirror pol
ish is coming into use as a substitute for
metal in the finishing of ornamental
work. In order to make the wood sus-
ceptible to a polish of this order it must
first be submitted to d bath Of caustic
alkali for two days, the bath being kept
at temperature of 175 degs. Fair. all
the while. Next it is soaked in a'solu-
tion Of hydrosulphate of calcium for
from twenty-four to thirty-nine hours.
The third dip is into hath of concen-
trated solution of sulphur. The final
dip is into solution of acetate of lead
at a temperature of 100 degs.
After being thoroughly dried the wood
is ready to have the metallic surface
impaired to it. which is'done by giving
it a rubbing with finely powdered lead,
tin or zinc. Wood treated in the above
manner, it is said, will take polish al
most equal to that SO often impaired to
steel, silver OF nickel.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Skill in tho Wrist.

It is wonderful what part the wrist
plays in exercises in which physical skill
and delicacy are required. After man
learns to play billiards well enough to
be familiar with the cushions and the
English, the important thing to cultivate
is his stroke. 1t is the hardest thing
about billiard playing to get good
stroke, and sometimes the greatest play
ers ''fall down" because they lose con-
troll of it. Now, the stroke wholly de-
pends on the action of the wrist. Jake
Schaeffer, or any good player, will make
a shot of seven cushions with less ap-
parent force than a beginner will exert
in getting three. This is due to the su-
perior wrist movement.
It's the same way with violin playing.
The. quality and touch all depend on
wrist manipulation. So with curving a
baseball. Great pitchers always work a
strong wrist movement on the ball as it
leaves the hand. If they didn't it
wouldn't curve at all.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

An Awkward Blunder.

At certain court of justice an awk-
ward blunder was made by the prisoner
in the dock. He was being tried for
murder and the evidence was almost
wholly circumstantial, a chief portion of
it being a hat of the ordinary ''billycock"
pattern that had been found close to
the scene Of the crime, and which, more
over, was sworn to as the prisoners.
Counsel for the defense expatiated upon
the commonness of hats of the kind.
''You, gentlemen" he said, ''no doubt
each of you has just such hat as this.
Beware, then, how you condemn d fell
low creature on such piece of evil
dence," and so forth. In the end the
man was acquitted, but just as he was
leaving the dock he turned in respect
full manner to the judge and said, eff
you please, my lord, may ave my 'at?'
