Electricity from Coal.

A French chemist. who has been giv- ing considerable attention to the problem of heating and lighting from q single source, has devised novel stove, which in appearance resembles an ordinary heating stove. It is so arranged inter- nally that the waste of heat is utilized for the generation of electricity. This is secured by a number of rectangular boxes of sheet iron, containing the nec- essary metallic elements for furnishing the current These elements are in- sulated by asbestus, and the cooling is effected partly by the shape in which the metallic alloys are cast and partly by circulation of air.
 The current obtained is not great in amount, but the result of this attempt seems to be favorable. Accumulators are used for storing up the electricity, and as the heating is required for much longer period than for lighting, the cleo trical energy, which would be lost dur ing the hours of daylight, is saved. A point of considerable moment is that the heat utilized in this way is waste heat, so that any portion that can be recov- cred in the form of electricity is so much gain. Philadelphia Record.

AsSociated Press Dlspatches,
 CINCINNATI, Ohio, May l6.-Some days since, during parade of Robin sons circus at Mount Sterling, Ky, a daring attempt to rob the First Ma tional bank was made by sneak thief. One of the clerks, who was standing at the window of the bank, saw a signal made by woman and suspected that something was wrong. Turning, he caught the thief, who had seized roll of bills containing S4,000. When ar rested he gave the name of Ownings. The woman was afterwards arrested and asserted that she was his wife. Today Detectives Crawford and Witte, of the Cincinnati department, went to Mount Sterling and made the astonishing dis covery that the pair were none other than the famous Sophia Lyons and Eddie Burke, alias Billy the KId." The woman has national reputation, and Burke is credited by Inspector Byrnes as being the most daring bank sneak in America. Both were arrested in St. Louis in 1887 on suspicion of be- ing connected with heavy penny weight" job. Sophia Lyons is the wife of Ned Lyons, noted cracksman, and is regarded by the police as one of the most dangerous women in her line that of "badgering" and stealing jew elry. Some years since she enuced millionaire of this city, William Dennis, into room at Reeds hotel, and at tempted to blackmai him by throwing his clothing out of the window and de- msnding S5,O0l as the price of her si. lence. The downfall of the couple will be hailed with joy by all the police off cials of the country.

 PEOPLE.
Seven Beautiful Edihces Each Having a Large Congre gation-ReIIGion in the Wild West.

The first question asked of g western man when making tour of the east is, What kind of people live in the west |?
 In answering for the people of this city or the valley it is safe te say the people are just such as you find in the better districts of Illinois, Ohio or Mas sachuSetts.
 From an educational stand point the westerner has a slight advantage as he IS equally well qualified in printed lore and has the advantages of practical ex- perience in combating with adverse circumstances.
 The next query is in regard to the western people as a religious people. In point of religion the western man has less faith than his eastern brother but is more practical worker.
 There is scarcely town in the arid region that has not at least a place of worship.
 The Spanish people as rule are Catholic in their belief and many de- vout Christians can be found among them.
 In the city of Phoenix there are seven beautiful edifices presided over by as many pastors, each having good con gregation.
 The religious people of Phoenix work Tn harmony and there does not seem to be any sectarian jealousies existing among the several churches. The ministers frequently exchange pulpits and maintain ministerial association
 Each of the seven churches maintains Sunday school where dozens of happy hAua anI i little girls assemble each Sunday morn. ing.
 Picnics by the Sunday schools are not lnfrequent, and the parents as well as many business men give up the day for the children's amusement
 A camp meeting is held annually within four miles of the city and thous- ands from the city and all parts Of the valley lay aside the busy cares of field home and business life, take their tents to the grove, set out by the hand of na- ture, camp, cook, eat and worship for two or three weeks. Camp meeting in Arizona has not the reckless stain at tached to it that is found in many parts oi the east, but on the contrary, every. thing is as orderly and we'll conducted as though within the walls of sacred temple.

The Brain Jar of the Military Step.

Dr. Colin, regimental physician in the French army, has published the results of his investigations into the effects of regular marching in disciplined bodies upon soldiers. The regularity of the step causes the indefinite repetition of a shock of the bones and brain, infinitely more deleterious than an irregular walk and to this regular repetition of the shock to the same parts of the body arc due the peculiar aches, pains and illness es of the troops.
 In one day march, he says, this shock is repeated 10000 times, and often the strongest men, who can walk the same distance without difficulty when not in line, succumb to the strain intwo or three days. Dr. Collins preventive is a rubber heel in all military boots. This heel has been tried at his instance in the French infantry, he says, and the result has been found to be great relief to the soldiers. The experiments with the rubber heel are still in progress.-Medi- cal Record

 Parties in this city are much excited and fl the party of five report favorahly the joy oi the miners will know no bounds.

We Are Not a Military People.

We Americans are not a military peo-
pie. In view Of our having carved our
way into the wilderness with sword as
well as with ak, Of our having won our
independence by arms. of our having
come with abundant credit out of all
our wars, Of having carried through one
Of the most gigantic struggles of modern
days, in which were fought battles al
most unequaled in t~enacity, this may
appear to be an unwarranted statement.
But it is true, 1t requires more than
courage, more than ability to raise, to
equip, to ration, to move and to com
mand armies to make a military people.
The most splendid conduct in war for
an all absorbing cause does not suffice.
Having many Of the essential qualities,
we yet fall short OF what the Romans
were, the Germans are. Some sections
Of the country approach nearer to the
military standard; but taken as a whole
our lack of interest in army and navy,
our thoroughly unbusinesslike way Of
handling national problems CT attack
and defense, stamp us as the least mill
tary in our instincts Of all the great peo-
ples Of the earth

Swallows and Crows.

Among the courageous small birds may
be counted the family Of swallows. The
writer has often SEGA barn swallows fly
downward and peel; at the cat and dog,
and more than once a sasEp twieter, a
whir Of wings and a peck on the hat has
reminded her, when standing in the barn
door, that she was i~ntruding on swal-
lows precincts.
About q half mile from the house is a
high bank which is the home of a colony
q bank swallows. The earth for some
d:stance is thicke perforated with the
roundish holes leading into their nests.
Not far from this bank q quantity Of
corn was one day scattered by accident
upon the ground. The crows were quick
to discover what had happened, and
swooped down and began to deyour the
windHlL
Some Of the swallows spied them at
once and gave the alarm. | CHANGED to
be sitting beneath a tree in full view Of
the scene. In less than a minute after
the crows had settled to feeding, more
than a hundred Of the bank swallows
had darted from their holes, and with
angry twitters fell upon the intruders.
The attack was a complete surprise to
the big black fellows, and as if realizing
the futility Of trying to cope with their
small assailants, they rose from the
ground in a body and took fight.
The swallows pursued them, darling,
diving, striking at them above, below and
from both sides. The crows were routed
completely, and took refuge in a dense
piece of woods a quarter of a mile away.
Then the triumphant swallows turned
about and sailed ~homeward, uttering
many chirps and twitters of satisfaction
as they few.
For the hour or more that l remained
in the field not a crow was to be seen
near the corn. The swallows were mas
tiers Of the field.
