FORCED PATRIOTISM.
The Queer Claim of Man Who Ran q
Sawmill.


Sawmill.
The attempts made by some men to
claim credit where none is due are often
amusing, but one of the. most humor-
Gus incidents of the kind that has ever
come under my observation took place
when the Chickamauga national rarll
commissioners were negotiating for the
land on which the battle was fought,
says Gen. j. S. Fullerton in the St
Louis Globe-Democrat. A man owned
q sawmill on the field, but very little
work had been done by it. When we
game to his land he wanted funny
price for it, giving as reason that if he
had not stopped his sawmill the field
would have been stripped of timber and
it's most Characteristic features lost
For this he thought himself entitled
to the national gratitude expressed in
the form of hard cash. 70 fei< ~,
An investigation proved just how
much credit that particular woodsman
deserved for sparing the trees. When
the logs were taken to the mill and
saving commenced it was. found that
they were SO full of bullets and frag-
ments of shell that saw after saw was
splintered and operations had to be slis-
pended. 1t may be Judged how much
consideration was given to the mans
patriotic claims

vAGARiES OF LIGHTNING.
An Interesting Theory on Atmosphere
Electricity,

Electricity.
Apropos of the fact that heavy
downpour of rain usually follows the
discharge Of lightning, says w. N. Jen-
nings, in Electricity, the experience of
another observer is of interest. During
a recent conversation with Prof. Samuel
A. King, the well-lnown aeronaut,
upon the subject of atmospheric elcc-
tricity, he furnished reason for this
occurrence, stating that he has often
observed from the car of balloon the
progress of a thunderstorm immediate
ly beneath him. From portion of a
cloud bank covering a large portion of
the heavens a band of flame shot out in
the direction of an isolated cloud, some
distance away, which Immediately lost
its cloud form and fell earthward as a
volume of rain. The professor is Of the
opinion that as soon as the isolated
cloud gives up it's electricity it releases
q tension which holds the molecules of
matter apart and precipitation in the
form of rain is the result. Perhaps,
then, thunder is due to the explosion of
oxygen and hydrogen forming rain, and
its subsequent echo in space.

Spurious Souvenirs.

DIR. LEM, the explorer, has warn
ing for tourists at Tangier who are eager
to buy Moroccan wares to carry home
as mcmentoes, says the New York Sun.
Two large b;lzaars are filed with goods
and kept by Jews for the tourist trade
DIR. LEM says that most of these ar
ticles are made in Paris, where the
business of manufacturing oriental an
tiquities and art goods is carried on to
a large extent The price asked for
these spurious Moroccan wares is very
high. Tourists are advised, if they de-
sire to buy genuine specimens of Mo
roccan handiwork, not to visit these
bazaars in company with native serv-
ants for interpreters, but to take with
them one of the European merchants
of the town, who can prevent their be-
ing imposed upon.

PROMOTING VEGETATION.
Effects of the Electric Light and the
Electric Current on Plants.

Effects of the Electric Light and the
Electric Current on Plants.
A report on the effects of the electric
light on plants comes from the agri-
cultaral experiment station of Cornell
university, where studies have been
made of the influence Of the electric
arc lamp upon greenhouse plants.
Radishes were strongly attracted by
the light, and all leaned at an angle o.
from 60 degrees to As degrees toward
the lamp. The report says:
''There are few points which are
clear, the electric light promotes as
Sanitation, it often hastens growth end
maturity, it is capable of producing
natural flavors and colors in fruits, 1t
often intensifies colors of flowers, and
sometimes increases the production of
flowers"
1t is added that the experiments
show that plants do not need periods of
darkness for rest. '"rhere is every req
son, therefore, to suppose that the cleo
trio light can be proftably used in the
growing of plants" and the further in
ference is that IF the electric light
makes plants to assimilate during
the night and does not interfere with
growth, it must produce plants of great
size and marked precocity."
Experiments have been carried out III
France, in Lot-et- Garonne, by M. Barat,
upon the application of the electric cur
rent to the culture of potatoes, tomatoes
and hemp. A row of hemp, subjected
to the influence of electric current, pro-
duced q row of stalks IS. inches higher.
than those not electrified in the same,
time. A kilogramme (22 pounds) of
potatoes planted in the path of the cur
rent produced 81 kilogrammes of very
large and healthy tubers, while the I'M
electrified patch only gave 1219 kilo-
grammes of medium size. NsstsE Wa
The electrified tomatoes also became
ripe some ten days before the others. A
curious fact has been remarked by NJ.
Barat in his experiments. If a quanti-
ty of manure is near the positive pole,
the constituent parts of this manure are
transported toward the negative pole,
and their effects make themselves felt
around distance of some yards. This
would seem to be fresh proof of the
opinion long advanced upon the part
played oy electricity in the growth of
plants, an opinion also adopted by Mr..
Specnew, who has given some attention
to these phenomena; this is, that the
action of the electric current upon
plants seems to consist in the more ac-
tive dissolution of the organic principles
existing in the soil which are thus
brought within the reach of the roots.

THE GREAT ELK.

Indians stiu shoot Them Witu the huge
>harp'S kiile.
n. Y. Journal: The Queels river,
which flows into the Pacific ocean about
fifteen miles north of the Quinfault
agency, Wash, is a good-sized stream,
very deep in places, with bad rapids At
intervals. It's waters are Of muddy
greenish hue-yery similar to the color
of the St Lawrence. 1t is fed by the
melting SHOWS Of Mount Olympus.
The bottom land Of the region has
rich black soil and is covered with aldeN
and salmon-beTy bushes. The upland
is shot clay and is shaded by mammoth
spruces and hemlocks
To see great hoof-marks in these wild
forests one might think the country
oyerrun with cattle, but this idea is gen
orally dispelled by the appearance o.
those antlered monarchs known us elk
which are gradually being thined OUT
owing to the merciless slaughter the III
dams make upon them. -Four and HYe
Canoe-loads of Siwashes 90 mp to ule
Queels and Clearwater rivers every few

a fortnight in the foothills, during when
time they kill many of the animals, Oh
ten taking nothing but the hides ana
leaving dozens of the carcasses as fOCu
for wolves and cougars. Such proceed
ings should be stopped Immediately
The reservation is amply large enough
for the few Indians it contains, and they
ought to be made to stay within Us
limits. A young man who had accom-
panied them on one of their hunts III
formed me that when they discovered
where "a band had crossed the river ana
climed up the steep, wooded hlllaue'
they fOrsake the canoes and start on 'lV
