THE MYSTERY OF A TRAGEDY.


An Appeal for Aid from Indians Found
Thirteen Years Too Late.
YUMA, Ariz., Feb. 27.-Boys playing
on the river bank discovered there a
time-worn bottle, in which was the fol-
lowing note:
We are hemmed in by Indians on the
head waters of the Gila river, and throw
this In the stream with the hope it may
be found by some one in time to have
assistance come to US. There are three
of our party and we are from Massachus-
etts We are John Wexford, William
Duncan and George Weston. We have
been prospecting on the mountains and
| have been run to a hole by lot of In
dams.
The note was dated June 90, 1879.
Whether the men escaped or were killed
can only be surmised, for no one knows
anything of the men here. The paper
will be sent on to Boston.

A HORRIBLE FIND.

Two Skeletons Whose Discovery Points to
a Medieval Tragedy.
A curious discovery was lately made
by wine-grower in the department. Of
the Charente, says the Belfast News
Letter. Adjoining his property are the
ruins of an ancient chateau which has
been left to it's fate for centuries. AS
part of one of the walls of this old pile
was showing symptoms Of an approach.
ing collapse, the peasant obtained per
mission to remove it and a few days ago
he set to work to demolish it.
After toiling for couple of hours, to
his. amazement he came upon & couple
of skeletons, the necks, arms and legs Of
which had been tightly bound to each
other by iron links. They were in an
erect position and it was evident that
they were the remains of men who had
been immured hundreds of years ago.
The wine grower lost no time in draw
ing the attention of local antiquarians
to his discovery and a careful investiga-
ton revealed further the presence OF
fragments of clothing which had been
almost reduced to dust, as well as of a
rusty weapon and two pieces Of wood.
The skeletons are to be placed in the
Bordeaux museum, and great pains are
being taken to insure their transport in
the same position as that in\which they
were found. There is no doubt that
some tragedy of the middle ages, OF
which possibly some record may sur.
vive, led to the confinement of these
unfortunate victims in the manner de.
scribed. 1t is matter of course that
the strange discovery is engaging the at
tention of antiquarians in that part Of
France, and it is by no means improba-
BILE that some clew to the mystery may
be Forthcoming ere long.

FiREftlES FROM CUBA.
Experimenting with the Light They Give
the Cheapest in the World.

Experimenting with the Light They Give.
the Cheapest in the World.
Secretary Langley, of the Smithson-
ian institution, has been experimenting
Cor some time past with frefies from
Cuba. He says that the light they give
is the cheapest" in the world produced,
shat is to say, with the least heat and
she smallest expenditure Of energy;
and he believes that successful imita-
hon Of it would prove a most profta BILE
substitute for gas and electricity. The
insects are beetles two inches long and
belong to the family of swapping
bugs,'' so called because when one of
them is laid on it's back it snaps itself
into the air with clicking sound.
The secret of the light this FREELY
gives is as yet undiscovered, says the
Washington Star. Apparently it is con-
nected in some way with the mysterious
phenomena of life, and chemists and
physicists have sought in vain to ex-
plain its origin. On each side Of the
animals thorax is luminous mem
branous spot, and these flash at inter-
walls, so that the Cubans put dozen of
the insects in cage together, and SO
obtain continuous Illumination bright
enough to read by. This light is ac-
companied by no preceptible heat, and
;sseemingly produced with almost no
expenditure Of energy. How great an
improvement it represents upon all
Known artificial lights can be imagined
when it is stated that In candleight,
laznpligght, or gaslight the waste is more
than ninety mine per cent. In other

A Galvanio Caterpillar Teaser.

An electrician has invented curious
device to prevent caterpillars from
crawling up trees. The scheme is sim.
ply to run alternate wires of copper
and zinc around the trunk of the tres
at distance of about half an inch
apart. When the wires have been placed
in position Mr. Caterpillar starts his as.
cent He strikes the copper wire, pokes
his little nose over it and continues. Hall
an inch further up his feet strike the
zinc wire. Immediately the current
is carried through his body. With a
howl of pain Mr.. Caterpillar drops to
the ground, or if the current be strong
enough remains a prisoner until the
reaper comes.

FOR PHONETIC SPELLING.

Z English OrthOgraphy.

English Orthography.
Congressman Durborow. Of Chicago,
has introduced in the house memorial
praying congress to adopt method OF
phonetic spelling The alphabet pre-
sented for adoption has been prepared
by John M. Mott, of that city, and ID
the result of many years work.
Mr.. Mott has been interested in edu.
cational work for twenty years, al
though engaged in the insurance
business. His phonetic alphabet
was almost complete when the bill
recently presented. and passed the
lower house Of congress to second
reading asking the appropriation Of
five million dollars for the es-
Enlistment Of phonetic schools caused
him to hurry it through. According to
the memorial and the authors state
ment no government aid aside from a
possible commission of experts is asked,
and the principal clause of the prayer
is for the adoption and recommendation
by congress of t'the American alphabet"
for general use.
The alphabet contains but thirty-one
letters, if consonants and vowel charac-
tiers are written in full Twenty-four
of these are taken from the present
English alphabet; the remainder are
notifications of the present forms. The
intent is to spell word exactly as pro-
nounced, doing away with all silent or
misleading letters.
''We ask no money and present the
American alphabet for the considera-
ton of congress and for the free use of
all" said Mr.. Mott to an Evening News
reporter the other day. ''The five mil
lion dollar typo foundry scheme now
pending should never go through and
if our memorial is adopted we will
revolutionize English photography"
"What do you mean by a five million
type foundry scheme?"
"There is bill now before congress,
which is on second reading in the house,
making appropriation of FIVE million
dollars for the blishment of
phonetic schools. This will not do
away with the surplus type, as we will,
and as do not believe it necessary for
either tests or trial schools this money
would be thrown away. If congress
looks favorably on our memorial, then
we will make a light request that
commission of twelve be appointed to
adjudge the merits of the alphabet be.

commission, if appointed, should con-
sist of three eminent philologists, three

printers and three proof readers OF

''What do you hope to accomplish"
''The adoption of system that will
be practical, efficient, intelligent and
fatal to type monopolies. Ever since
the days of Franklin have there been
efforts made to shorten the existing
modes of spelling, but no individual
efforts will accomplish anything. The

any one man. to direct a change, as it
must have some standard. This
