Anon dota OF Tacumanh.

The Boston Mercantile Journal telr
the following anecdote o: Tecumseh:
A short time before the battle Of Tip
pecanoe, a talk was held between Gen
Harrison and Tecumseh. The General
arrived first at the appointed place,
which was an open spot, carpeted with
the green sward, and covered only by
the canopy Of heaven. He was 40
companied by his suite, arrayed in fulh
regimentals, and presenting a gay
and imposing appearance. Soon afteN
Tecumseh approached the spot, clothed
in splendid Indian military costume
which was well calculated to display
his athletic form. His manner was no.
that Of suppliart. His bearing waS
as naughty as if words were at his dis
posal; and as he advanced toward the
spot where Harrison awaited him, his
step was firm, his form erect, with the
head slightly thrown back, his features
stern and rigid, and his nostrils were
dIstended like those of the war-horse
when he scents the battle from afar.
Indeed his whole appearance was that
of one who asks no favor, but who,
goaded on by contempt and hatred,
breathes naught but defiance upon his
enemies.
AS Tecumseh proudly approached,
Gen. Harrison rose to receive the chief,
and pointing to bench prepared for
the purpose, said, "Your white father
requests you to be seated"
Tecumseh cast upon the American
general a look of unmitigated scorn and
indignation. "You my father" said
he. No. The sum-" pointing to that
luminary in the heaven, sis my fatherl
The earth" pointing to the ground, sis
my mother And" throwing himself
on the ground, ~ will rest but on her
bosom"
The annals of Roman or Grecian his
tory will hardly furnish a reply to
equal, in grandeur and sublimity, this
of the untutored Indian.

Interesting Relics,

A deed of trust given by Thomas
Lincoln, father of Abraham Lincoln, in
1912, for the payment of $40, borrowed
money, the deed being made to cover
forty acres of land near Nation, Iowa,
owned by Lincoln at that time, was
sold the other day to C. f. Gunther OF
Chicago for good round sum, by Mrs.
L, w. Bunnell of Hamilton, Iowa. The
relic has been in the possession of her
family for many years, first coming into
the hands of her father, who was a jus.
tice of the peace.
Another interesting relic is the origi-
nal bill of sale of Eliza, the heroine Of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and her two
children, given by John Turpin to
Joseph Collins, March 8, 1885, which is
now in the possession of r. S. Park Of
st. Louis. The three fetched only $500
in money, but fame to Turpin almost
equal to his English namesake Dick.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
SOME RECENT DISCOVERIES BY
MEN OF SCIENCE.
Aluminium Llght--ShIps OF the An
cIeIits--An investigation SuR-
Rested--New Plan of Elec-
trio Transit,
Marvals of Electricity.

Wonderful as tie advances in our
knowledge and use of electricity have
been in the past few years, there is
reason to believe that we have yet
hardly crossed the threshold OF dis
covery in this direction. Hints OF
what is to come occasionally escape
from the laboratories and studies OF
the men who are now pushing on the
outposts OF electrical science, and
these hints sometimes fairly take
away the readers breath. Men of sci
ence have not yet settled the question
OF what electricity is, but every new
discovery shows more and more plain
ly that, whatever it may be, there is
hardly any natural phenomenon in
which it does not play a more or less
important part.
Professor Oliver ]. Lodge thinks
electricity is o mode OF manifestation
OF the ether, that strange medium
which is supposed to pervade all
space, and to carry light from sun to
planet, and from star to star.
In recent address Professor Will
lam Crookes points out some of the
marvellous powers and possibilities
that the continued advance in our
knowledge OF electrical phenomena
seems about to place within our
grasp.
Man is constantly searching for new
and cheaper sources OF energy by
means of which he may drive his en-
gines and carry on, in its fast-multiply-
ing forms, the work that civilization
demands to have done.
But men OF science, like Professor
Crookes, say that in asingle cubic foot
of the ether, in which the earth is sub
merged, ten thousand foot tons OF en-
ergy-that is, force enough to lift ten
thousand tons one foot-lie imprison-
ed, only awaiting the magic touch of
science to be loosened for the service
OF man.
They tell us, also, that the latestre-
bCIl ClCo BlNO uo lOeboOu w hOPO IllbO
these stores of power may actually be
opened and drawn upon.
Professor Nicholas Tesla has already
succeeded in producing in a room an
electrostatic field, into which if a glass
tube exhausted of air is carried, the
tube will glow with light and illumin-
ate the room like lamp. 1t now APP
pears, as Professor Crookes says,
that "a true flame can be produced
without chemical aida flame which
yields light and heat without the con-
sumption of material and without
any chemical process" Those who
have studied "the chemistry of the
candle" will appreciate what this
means.
To telegraph without wires, to get
light without heat, to make solid
walls in effect transparent-such are
some of the strange possibilities alter
which students of electricity may now
strive with fair hopes OF success; and
the attainment OF these ends would
mark but single step in the advance
of modern science.

HOE Packing of the Winter.

CINCINNATI o., March 3.-The Cincin-
natl Price Current says: ''The winter
packing season closed on Monday and the
Price Current has made special efforts to
present at this time close approximation
of the entire packing in the West for the
four months ending March /. Definite
or almost exact figures from 0j per
cent of the entire work indicates a total Of
7,75O,0J0 hogs, against s 1900 last
year, decrease of about $500 hogs.
Indications favor tolerate increase in
average weight, possibly 3 to 5 per cent,
and that the total manufacture of product
will closely approach last years produoe

The Board of Managers of the Sol.
diers' Home of the United States met
in Washington, d. c., last week. Only
routine business was transacted. Some
time was spent by the Board in making
estimates of the amount of appropria-
tions needed for the coming year,
and they will recommend appropria-
tions amounting to S3,OOO,OO This
is for the National home and also for
the aid of the government to the vari-
Gus state homes. 1t is thought there
will be no trouble about getting full
appropriation. The new soldiers home
that is in course of erection at NARROW,
Ind, will be one of the largest. 1t will
cost $780, 900 when completed and will
have 2s barracks with capacity for
$500 There are now eight barracks
and 035 inmates, but new barracks are
being added every year as the appropri'
ations will permit.

Aluminium Light.

A very intense light, such as is re-
quired for photograph or occasional
ly for medical purposes, may, as is
we'll known, be readily obtained by
burning magnesium ribbon which has,
however, the disadvantage OF being
somewhat expensive. An excellent
substitute mas been found by a French
chemist, MVilon, in aluminium, which
is about a third OF the price OF magne-
stun, and which may be utilized in
the same manner by burning it in a
spirit lamp, or, if o flame OF more in
tense brilliancy is required, in q coal,
gas, or spirit flame supplied with
jet of oxygen.
In these it burns without emitting
fumes, in which respect it is superior
to magnesium. The light given by
aluminium has high actinic power
nearly as high, indeed, asthat of mag
nesium. The most convenient way
of obtaining very intense light, &C.
cording to NJ. Villon, IS to use a lamp
provided with a jet OF oxygen at the
center of it's flame, INTO which powder
ed aluminium mixed with quarter
of its weight of lycopodium and a
twentieth OF its weight of nitrate OF
ammonium can beprojected by means
OF tube furnished with an air ball.
This gives an exceedingly intense
light, without smoke. A mixture of
aluminium powder with chlorate OF
potash and sugar can be ignited, giving
an Intense light by means of gun cot
ton, but is somewhat dangerous.
Probably the best plan for medical
photography, or for laryngoscopic
and auroscopic and other demonstra-
tions, would be to burn a ribbon of
aluminium in an ordinary spirit lamp.
OF course, if oxygen and oxyhydrogen,
or an oxyalcoholic lamp were at hand
much more intense light could be OBJ
tained.-The Lancet.

An Inventive SuggestIon.

A gentleman of inventive mind,
suggests the following method of get
ting rid of the overhead electric troll
ley, telegraph and telephone wires:
Let suitable conduit OF cast iron be
devised, which shall, at the same time,
serve the purpose of curbstone to the
sidewalks. it can then be placed in
position, be easy of access by proper
openings, and answer the double end
of being at once q substantial curb
and safe and convenient receptacle
for the now unsightly, annoying and
dangerous wires on poles in the streets.
Some difficulties may be encountered
on the score OF induction and other
wise, but minor and secondary
troubles, such as these, in most in
ventions are generally overcome. The
idea at least seems plausible, and the
digestion is worthy reconsideration

Director Of the Sun.

The petty sovereign of a tribe OF
North American Indians has q custom
by which he displays his superiority,
not only to all the world, but to the
heavenly bodies as well.
Every morning he stalks solemnly
out of his door, and stands until the
sun appears above the horizon. Then
with his finger he indicates the course
through the sky which he expects the
sun to take. Then having marked
out the suns course for him. he de.
votes the rest of the day to directing
his tribe. Although the poor Indians
notion of his own Importance is ab-
surd, yet so many OF us have equally
absurd notions of our importance
that we can afford to think twicu be-
fore we laugh at him

Two Veterans.

"Comrade, a chat tonight,
Homelike, between US twoI
Nothing Of might or right,
or starry flag Ct blue.
I've heard enough Of pride;
History has no tether;
We saw the other side,
We marched the way together.
That was some time ago:
You're gray, and so am L;
I'm feeling well, $3.50;
But how the years do hyl
Two veterans getting gray
And we were striplings then;
They bury US every day,
Not with the spade, but pen.
We're living, though IL seems,
Haven't made our final bow,
Our battles are like dreams;
They don't need soldiers nowl
When drums were beating men
Were not superfluOus stock.
They wanted thousands then
To meet the impending shock.
They hustle us lively, though,
We OF rank and Ale;
Youngsters OF course, can crow,
Who never marched o mile.
They sing peans Of glory
The Conquering Hero Comesl'
Ours is different story,
We only got the crumbs.
Comrade, II does me good
To have our views uniting;
l only wish could
Tell all / know of fighting.
And you were with me, too,
In sklrmish and in fray;
All! what we have been through
No wonder we are gray"

SHOT BY HIS WIFE.
Sensational End of Family Troubles Of
Detroit Business Man.

DETROIT, Mich. March 3.--Charles w.
Ayres, a pro min ent business man and
formerly partner in the Richmond Back
us company, was shot and fatally injured
last evening by his wife, Anna d. Ayres,
at their residence.
The cause of the tragedy runs back
through a number Of years. but the climax
was brought about through the supreme
court rendering decision dismissing
Mrs. Ayres' suit for divorce, which was
first filed last October, and dlssolving the
injunction restraining Ayres from enter
ing the family residence.
Ayers in consequence thereof went 10
his house and proceeded to pack up his
personal effects. His daughter remon-
stratcd and he grew excited. Mrs. Ayres
soon came in from the street and a scene
followed, the details OF which have not
yet been ascertained, but as Ayres left
the house his wife fired six shots at him,
but did not hit him. AS he was on the
veraDda she fired again, the ball entering
the left breast and lodging in the lungs
Ayres is not expected to live.

A New Military Organization.

Some time ago move was begun to
form an important side issue of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In the
latter organization all that is required
for eligibility to members is the estab-
lishment of the fact that the applicant
enlisted in the army This, ii is claimed
by some of the battle-scarred veterans,
has let into the G. A. b. many who have
no business there, and the recent move
is to form an organization of those who
did the actual fighting and passed
through the privations of long sieges
and braved the shot and shell
of the enemy. Such an organization
known as the Comrades of the Battle
Field, will soon be completed in this
city with a charter membership Of
about twenty. To be eligible to MEM
bership, the applicant must have been
at least ninety days, total, under fire,
and must be able to make satisfactory
proof of service. Instead of having
posts, the new organization will term
the place of meeting Battlefield.
Lieut.. R. B. Grace of St. Louis is preSi-
dent of the new organization in the
United States, and he has appointed
DR.. Youkey commander for the Lafay-
cite Battlefield. A meeting will be
held in few days to complete the mat
ter.-Lafayette Courier.

Marion Soldiers, Home.

Mrs II, NJ. Caylor, of this city, who
has been department president of the
w. r. C. for the State of Indiana and
is always deeply interested in every
thing that means good to the heroes of
the late war, has plan in her mind
undergoing perfection whereby she
hopes to furnish books and general
reading matter to the Home of Marion.
During recent visit there she was
careful to learn all she could of the
wants of the inmates, and the univer.
sal expression of the men was, that
they were well supplied with every
thing good to eat, wear and drink, but
they were hungry after mind-food; that
is, they were desiring reading matter.
The person whose heart has no sympa-
thetic throb for such movement is
hardly entitled to be called an Ameri.
can citizen. -Noblesville Ledger.

New Plan Of Electric Transit.

A new plan OF electric transit, which
does away with the trolley wire and
poles-and which is pronounced as
cheap of construction and of opera
ton as the trolley system-is to be
tried in st. Louis. The following de-
scription of the method of operation
is found in the Brooklyn Eagle. The
current is carried by an insulated
wire in the conduit, connected with a
series ofpendantswitches 2feet apart.
The switches are insulated when they
hang vertically, theirnatural position.
Underneath the car, attached to it
by thin metal posts running through a
slot slightly narrower than that in a
cable road, is what is called a shoe.
