Mary's Claim.

A little girl is reported to have diej
near the imaginary line in Oklahoma
which divided the recently opened reser.
Hations from the remainder Of the Terri
tory just as the signal was given for the
grand rush for lands. The child and heI
father were alone and unknown, but the
beauty of the one and the still, deep
grief Of the other, moved the strong meI
OF the frontier to acts of admirable sym
patby.
A runner on q swift horse located a
homestead, and returning placed the
father of the dead girl in possession ol
it. The body of the child was transported
to the claim and buried upon it. After
ward, it was discovered the remaining
one of the unfortunate couple was abso-
lutely penniless, and purse Of money
was gwen him with the hope that the
claim will prove haven of rest to him,
and that the homestead shall always be
known as "Mary's claim. ."-Dulutt

terror with steel cutters and grinders.
Water is mixed with the cotton, and il
is ground and cut into an almost impal-
pable pulp. This process soils tho cot
ton, and the pulp is riuscd with lime
water until it is clean again. The pulp
is then drawn from'the tub into an iron
tank. From the tank it is fed into iron
molds, upon which pressure is brought to
bear, aud the water is forced from the
pulp, and the latter at the same time
formed into cylinders eight inches long
and something like three inches in di'
ameter.
1.-THE cylinders of cotton are then
placed in a powerful hydraulic press,
which reduces them under a pressure OF
100 pounds to the square inch. This
tremendous force fattens the cylinders
into thin cakes, and their specific gravity
is about that of water-a triae greater.
The gun cotton is then ready for storage
and use, and owing to its conditions of
greater safety, both in storage and use,
is far superior TO any explosive for naval
warfare yet invented. A torpedo that
when charged with powder will weigh
nearly 400 pounds, will weigh but
seventy five pounds when made of gun
cotton. New York Sun.

Music From Electricity.

The public is becoming accustomed to
the sound of organs whose mechanism is
actuated by electricity; but the idea OF
a musical instrument, in which the cleo.
trio current produces the musical tones
By no other means than the conductor
itself, is startling as w,ll as puzzling. In
the experiments Of Won Lepel, in Ger.
many, disk of glass or paper rubbed
with paraine, placed within the termin-
ais OF the conductors (small copper wires}
from a strong induction machine, have
thrown out with great rapidity tiny balls
OF pale fire, which disappeared with
faint whistling sound. A more definite
and practical instrument has been con.
structed, consisting chiefly of coils Of
wire of various sizes and lengths. OF
passing through this electric current a
distinct musical sound Of peculiar quality
is given out.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Many people suppose that rosewood
takes its name from its color, but this is
mistake. Rosewood is not red nor
yellow, but almost black. It's name comes
from the fact that when first cut it ex-

rose, and, although the dried rosewood
of commerce retains no trace Of this
early perfume, the name fingers as relic
Of the early history OF the wood. -Bos-
