The different nations ui tho world,
both ancient and modern. have employed
various symbols to represent the fires

Enemies Of the Salmon Fisheries.

Seals and sea lions are great nui-
sance to the salmon fishermen. At the
mouth of the Columbia river they watch
the gill nets and grab the caught salmon
by the throats, devouring those parts
which they regard especially as tidbits.
Bears are very fond of salmon and catch
a great many of them in the streams.
They eat only the heads.-Washington

The Rolling Of ships.

ing the great and numerous improvements
of recent years which have made life on

sci when she meets the waves that set her
rolling heavily from side to side. Ship
owners and seamen do not show much
sympathy with the discomfort and misery
that rolling causes to most passengers.
Nature describes a recently devised
method Of checking rolling by moving a
weight, under strict control, from side to
side of vessel so as to continuously bal
ance or abstract from the heeling moment
Of the wave slope. 1t consists of a large
mass of iron in the form of quadrant of
q circle, which Is placed horizontally, with
the center ON che middle line of the vessel
and there connected with a vertical shaft
The shaft is turned by a hydraulic engine,
which is very ingeniously controlled by an
automatic arrangement. The heavy iron
quadrant is swept round from side to side,
revolving about its center, to the extent
that is required Co counteract the heeling
movement. The apparatus is said to have
been working for some time in a steam
yacht with good results.

Thirty-four years ago Lot Smith was the

had settled down to an apparently quiet
life as farmer and stock rancher in the
little village of Pennington, eighteen
miles north Of Salt Lake City, when the
troubles of 1867 began As always hap
pens in such cases, the people suddenly dis.

them unsuspected. Lot Smith raised a
company of Mormon boys and projected a
plan of campaign which proved perfect
success. While the Fede4al army under
Albert Sidney Johnston was struggling
carelessly across the interior plains, think
ing Of almost anything except resistance,
all the mountain passes were filled by Nor

rangers were turned loose to do as he di.
rected
He defeated Johnston's urmy-practi-

all it's plans. On the 4th of October, 1851
he swept down from a side canyon burned
the whole supply train of seventy-flve
wagons, drova off 800 cattle and captured
and paroed the eighty teamsters. A little
later every supply was cut off, every de-

LIFTING A TUMBLER WITH THE OPEN HAND.
The method is simplicity itself; Place
the glass on the table and lay the palm Of
your hand over It's mouth, bending down
the four fingers at a right angle, as shown
in the lower figure of the illustration ~.
This done, If, still resting the palm of the
hand on the edge of the glass, you quickly
raise the four fingers so as to have the
hand outspread, as in the upper figure, you
will have produced beneath your hand a
partial vacuum sufficient to enable the at
mospheric pressure to overcome the force
of gravity and the tumbler Of water will
remain attached like a cupping glass to
your hand. To insure success repeated
experiments will be necessary at first
until the experimenter has ascertained the
desired proportion of size between the hand
and glass, etc,
