NOTHING TO DO BUT WAIT.
Soldiers and Strikers at Homestead Realil
That There's . Long Siege Ahesd.


HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2a-A lull today Of
the most pronounced kind opened the week in
Homestead. The strikers and soldiers ct last
seemed to have fully settled down 10 the
conclusion that Q long, tedious siege
was before them and that there 10
nothing TO do but wait. The departure Of .
majority Of the musicians helped 70 give
the camp a dull air. and the workmen for
the greater part adopted the new courss
by remaining away from headquarters
and devoting their attention to long deferred
repairs in sidewalks and fences at home.
Among the few to be found in public places
there were practically only two sub
iects Of conversation, the punishment Of
Private 1ams and expected return Of
Hugh O'Donnell. Generally any demon
stration when ODonnell arrived was depre-
Gated, though few limited that well-arraneed
'spontaneous" display Of their feelings was
not altogether improbable. Thechances for .
collision with the troops were, however, be-
heved to be almost, il not quite, at zero.

Natural Telephone.

A gentleman from Minnes ota, about
twenty-five miles southwest of Rapid
City, South Dakota, tells of discovery
which was accidentally made in the
mountains north est of that town few
weeks ago. Ac ording to the story told,
there is nasural telephone line be.
tween two mountains in the Black Hills
range.
On each side of an intervening valley,
twelve miles in width, stand two high
peaks which tower above the other
mountains and have long been known as
landmarks, being called the twin peaks.
these mountains are fully 10000 feet
high and at least 1000 feet above the
near range. Only on rare occasions have
these peaks been assembled and out little
was known of their topography.
Some weeks ago a party of tourists
determined to make the ascent and
divided into two parties, one for each
peak. They, too, took apparatus for
signaling, and expected to have pleasure
and amusement by flashing the heliograph
code across the intervening space, to the
mystifcation of the people of the valley.
The ascent was made, and while the
people were making arrangements to
signal across one of the party on the north
mountain was surprised to hear voices
which apparently came from the air. He
moved about and the sound was no
longer heard. BY changing his position
several times he discovered that at cer-
tain spot on the mountain he could hear
the voices, and it was not long before
he found that they proceeded from the
party on the other mountain.
He called the attention of the others
to the phenomena and then they attracted
the party on the south mountain and
found that an ordinary conversation in
an ordinary tone of voice was plainly
heard from one mountain top to the
other. There was only one place on
each mountain where it could be heard
and itappeared to be natural telephone.
No shouting was necessary and the
words were perfectly distinct.

The Boomerang.

The boomerang is a instrument used
both in war and in t. chase by the
aborigines of Australia. It is usually
about two feet in length, ma2e of hard
wood bent into a curve resembling an
obtuse angle, flat on one side and
rounded on the other. The method of
using this curious weapon is very pc
culiar. The thrower takes it by one end,
holding the bent side downward, and
hurls it forward as if to hit some object
twenty to twenty five yards in advance.
Instead of continuing to go directly for
ward in accordance with the Newtonian
law, it slowly ascends in the air, whirl-
ing round and round, describing beau
tiful and geometrical curved line till it
reaches a considerable height, when it
begins to retrograde, finally sweeping
over the head of the protector, striking
the object for which it was intended,
which is always in the rear.
This surprising motion is produced by
the reaction of the air upon the bends
and curves of the oddly shaped missile.
Lieutenant Breton, in his book en-
titled Excursions in New South Wales
and Western Australia" has this to say
of that singular weapon. "The BOOM
erang is one of the most curious weapons
of war ever invented, at least by bar
barous people, nor is it easy to compre-
hend by what law of projectiles 1t is
made to take the singular directions that
it frequently does. have seen a native
throw one so as to make it go forty or
fifty yards horizontally, and not more
than four feat from the ground. 1t
would then suddenly dart into the air to
the height of fifty or sixty yards, de-
scribe very considerable curve and
finally fall at his feet. In all cases, no
matter how thrown. the boomerang keeps
turning with great rapidity, like as if on
pivot, making loud, whizzing noise
all the while "-St. Louis Republic.

The San Francisco Chronicle states
that "two young men near Los Angeles
are rapidly making fortune Staying
coyotes. Last April they were not worth
$50, but now they have $500 to their
credit in bank and they are adding
about $3.50 week to their deposit.
They have fifty traps set, and with these
and their rifles are rapidly thinning out
the coyotes in Los Angeles and San Ber-
nardino Counties. At $5 scalp there
Is more money in hunting coyotes than
in growing grain or fruit, but the busi-
ness will probably come to an end when
the next Legislature meets. The law
which was passed as joke has proved to
be very costly pastime.

Here is an expert opinion upon Edi-
sons new electric motor: 1t is not mere
ly the outcome of speculation, but the
result of actual experiment on a COM
mercial scale. Mr.. Edison uses the rails
as conductors and operates at low po-
tential. He has proved that there is no
cause for fear from the accidental forma-
ton of short circuit through the cross
ing of tracks by vehicles with iron
wneels or tires. AS regards the question
of safety to human beings and animals
likely to come in contact with the rails,
it is needless to add that the effect of
twenty volts upon the human body is i'm.
perceptible, and actual experiment has
also shown that horses are not effected
by it in the slightest degree. So far the
initial cost of the new system will make
it inapplicable to any but the largest
cities and the largest short roads.

1t is extremely interesting to know,
remarks the New York Independent, that
the people of TERRA del Fuego have re-
Gently proposed to establish custom
house to act independently of other
custom houses. The country has estab-
lished considerable trade with England
in wool and its other products. TERRA
del Fuego comprises the mass of islands
at the southern point of South America
only one of which is of any considerable
size, that one being two hundred miles
long by twenty-five miles wide. The
Straits of Magellan separate the TERRA
del Fuego country from the mainland.
The most southern island of the group
is the one upon which Cape Horn is
situated.

Missouri with a rattlesnake farm, who
sells $4,000 worth of rattlesnake oil per
annum. His live stock on fenced
forty-acre patch are counted at 10000
tails. The man who tried to make a
fortune out of spiders silk and failed, is
an old story. The man who is doing
pretty we'll with his terrapin ranch in
Maryland is another story. The Long
Island leech farm is ancient history. How
the Florida man, with his alligator pre-.

reported lately. Among the few prom

to have been neglected as yet are musk.
