THE book that Gen. Longstreet is
writing about the war is designed to
be more ambitious literary undertake
ing than has been expected Instead
of n series of "reminiscences of the
events which the author saw and of
which he was a great part, it will be
critical history of the rebellion from a
military point of view. The prospect
therefore is that what with the book
itself, the replies it will evoke from old
soldiers whose feelings may be rasped

ARRESTiNG STRIKERS.

United States Troops In Charge of the
Idaho Mining Districts-Arresting the
Strikers-Non-Union Men Being Re-
turned to the Mines.
WARDNER, Idaho. July 16.-Three
passenger coaches loaded with the nom
union men, who We're recently sent out
of the county, returned here at 2 p. m.
yesterday. They were escorted by q
special train loaded with regular troops
The trip to Wardner was uneventful.
Gen. Carlin had 400 troops drawn up
around the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines and the railroad depot.
The strictest martial law was en-
forced and there was not the slightest
sign of disturbance while the non-union
men were being unloaded. The return
ing non-union men were armed with
Winchesters At the station they gave
up their rifles and marched unarmed to
their destination. The men who were
escorted up to the Bunker Hill and Sui
Ivan mines, one and one-half miles up
the gulch through the camp of Ward
ner, were heavily guarded.
Gen. Carlin issued a proclamation
calling upon all the members of the
Miners union to surrender. He later
issued another order commanding all
the strikers to be arrested wherever
found and disarmed and imprisoned.
He also dispatched searching squads to
Fourth of July canyon to hunt for dead
bodies. He thinks that the men who
were killed were thrown into the river.
When the arrival of the. troops be-
came known the last twenty men of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine
force, who did not surrender at the
time of the exodus of the other men of
the mine, came in. They had taken to
the brush, armed and had been in hid
ing ever since. They were greatly ex-
hausted. The troops found them forth
fed in the mine. They were relieved
by company of soldiers, who permit
ted them to rest and sleep, The entire
working force of the mine will pick up
tools at once and begin operations II
the mine.
AT o'clock the troops began securing
Wardner, bringing in union men and
placing them in confinement in the
guard house at the camp on the ball
grounds. Fred E. Dean, secretary OF
the union, was among the first arrested.
President O'Brien was another At
Wallace also it is reported that arrests
are being made The Coeur d'Alene re-
gion is virtually in the hands of the
military. Unless the union men COM
NIT some act of violence soon the time
for such conduct will be past. The
men at the mine will be supplied with
Winchesters by the owners to protect
the property.

The Legion Of Famous Lost Mires.

Everywhere throughout the West are
lost mines. Every State aud Territory
that has gold or silver has several of
romance. The lost Pegleg mine on the
Colorado desert is the latest to have an
inning and be noticed by the press.
There is Lost Cabin mine near Crater
Lake in Oregon. Montana. Wyoming,
Idaho and New Mexico have lost
mines of some sort or other, oil rich and
locked in the depths of the Navajo
reservation in Arizona is another Lost
mine. 80
Men with guns aud picks aud burros
steal in from time to time in quest of tho
latter. Sometimes IN referring 10 the
various lost mines they are singularly
mixed, until the problem is made harder
. to solve as to just where they are.
y "There are at least half dozen or a
dozen Lost Cabin mines in the West, I"
said an old mining man yesterday.
Anything that is s.rarge and lard to

The lost mines are hard to find, but there
are all the time expeditions in quest of
them. San Francisco Examiner.

Artificial Coloratlon of Birds.

The distinguished naturalist, DR..
Sauermann, has published series OF
very curious observations touchi ny the
artificial coloration of birds. The fact
is recognized, says he. that canary birds
fed on cayenne pepper insensibly change
color and pass from yellow to red.
Cayenne pepper, in addition to n
tinctorial substance, contains an irri-
tatipg principle and an oily matter.
When these two latter principles are ex-
tracted through maceration in alcohol,
the pepper loses its coloriug property
upon the plumage of the birds; but il
olive oil be added to the product of
maceration the coloring action reappears.
1t is inferred from this that the oily part
Of the pc pper is the necessary vehicle Of
the color. Experiments made upon
wholly white hens have given an identical
result. These hens possess the property
of foreshadowing a change in the
temperature by very marked change OF
tint. The yolk of their eggs is OF very
bright red. The same experiment has
been tried with the root of the aikanet,
with the result Of production Of violet
red. Scientific American.
