HAD TO EAT HoRsEFLEsH.

Experience of a Hunting Party, Including
Real Lord, In the Rocky Mountains.
Lord Somerset, son of Lady Henry
Somerset, England!s famous apostle of
temperance, with his party, being lost,
existed two weeks on common horse meat
while hunting big game in the Rocky
mountains north of the Canadian line
in an unexplored portion of the north
west territory, and has returned to Eng
land to write up his adventures in book
form.
Robert Ramsay, a former resident Of
this city, was with Somerset throughout
the trip, and will join him in England
soon. He says:
eve suffered great hardships while
living on horsefesh. After being driven
to starving point we killed one of our
horses and roasted the meat before FIRE.
It didn't taste bad under the circum-
stances. During the 10 days that we had
horsehesh straight and nothing else we
covered couple of hundred miles. By
that time the horse meat was all gone,
and we had to decide upon killing dog
We didn't dare kill another horse, as we
needed them. We were about to kill
the dog when we discovered one of the
Hudson Bay posts, Fort Mcleod, and
our hardships ended"
The party consisted of Lord Somerset,
Mr.. Arthur Hungerford Pollen of Essex
Court Temple, London; Captain Round
of the Hudson Bay company, DR.. Dud-
ley of Chicago and Robert Ramsay in
addition to party of five Indian guides.

Bernhardt,s Theater.

Mime. Sarah Bernhardt's theater is to
be model house. 1t is not only sump-
tuously furnished, but the public are to
be enabled to secure seats beforehand
without paying the supplementary fee,
amounting in most French theaters to as
much as francs. The box and cloak
room attendants are not to be allowed to
take any gratuities, as they are paid by
the management. A violation of this
rule will be visited by immediate dis
missal The claque is to be completely
suppressed, together with the prompter.
The actors will therefore not only have
to know their parts thoroughly well, but
will also have to depend entirely on the
public for the encouraging applause
which is furnished in all other French
theaters by hired hands.-Paris Letter in
London Standard.

Memphis to st. Louis, but the goods
never came. The value of these goods
was not less than $4,000, but there are
reasons why the plaintiffs think they
ought to recover $15, 900.
Nearly all of the property was the ac-
emulation Of lifetime by the plaintiffs
grandfather. who was no less a person
age than the late Lieutenant General N.
B. Forrest of the Confederate States Army
of America, and the rest of it was pres
ents from friends. In the list of articles
were four cups and a pair of silver spurs,
all of which were manufactured during
the late civil war from the silver Thin
bles and silverware belonging to the la
dies Of the states Of Tennessee, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Alabama.
These patriotic women presented the
articles to General Forrest as a token Of
their respect and high esteem, as well as
that in which he was held by the people
of the south, for the distinguished sery-
ices he had rendered in many battles in
defense of a cause which he and they be-
lieved to be just.
The plaintiffs aver that by reason Of
this fact, in addition to the intrinsic
value of the property, it had acquired
and had at the time Of delivery to the de-
PENDANT value of at least $4,000. The
plaintiffs sue for $15, 900 for the monde

nado's secret, its agent, and God helping
me l shall have it. If electricity, then
we may be able to dissipate Jove's most
awful wrath and relieve our great cities
Of their worst nightmare, their most in
Bidious and most implacable foes"
The man who made this bold and strik-
ing remark is Professor Henry Allen Ha-
zen, expert meteorologist of the United
States weather bureau, who has nearly
completed arrangements for series Of
not less than 1000 high altitude balloon
ascensions, to be made as often as three
times a day, under new and original
principle of gas conservation, with new
scientific instruments made In England
expressly for the purpose.
The proposition is now before the
board of advisers, who may be expected
to report on the application as soon as
Professor Langley, secretary of the
Smithsonian, shall return to his post.
Professor Langley himself is much in
terested in the subject of free air OBJ
servation, especially in an idea he has Of
sending up self registering instruments
to the highest possible attitudes without
risking the presence of human being
in balloon. Professor Hazen, how
ever, regards this method as only sup
Elementary to the work of personal OBJ
servation and instrument readings which
he has in view.
Aerial transit across the Atlantic
ocean is the ultimate object toward
which Professor Hazen's plans are tend
ing. He states unreservedly that he
will make the trip if he lives. He is al
ready looking forward to the construct
ing of balloon basket in the form of
completely equipped open boat with air.
tight compartments. In this vehicle,
stored with food and drink for many
days, the professor will set out without
a qualm of fear.
The only apparent difficulty that has
ever beset the problem has been the in
ability of the aeronauts to keep the bal
loon on a steady horizontal plane. The
rising and the falling of the balloon can
be regulated by an original device Of
Professor Hazen's. He will carry a
bucket at the end of a long rope, and wa
ter drawn from the ocean will constitute
the necessary ballast whenever his bal
loon seems to get more buoyant. The
water will be poured out again when the
balloon needs buoyancy. Philadelphia

A notable engineering feat was ac-
complished recently in the completion of
the boring of the Busk-Ivanhoe railway
tunnel under the continental divide Of
the Rocky mountains at Hagerman pass,
Colorado The tunnel is almost two miles
long-9, 1893 feet-and is through solid
gray granite. 1t took 3 years and 20
DAYS, of 90 hours work each day, to bore
the big hole. 1t is 1911 800 feet above sea
level through the top ridge Of the CONT
nent. The water draining from the one
side of the mountain under which it is
driven runs to the Atlantic ocean, and
from the other to the Pacific. Its con-
struction has cost 81 100000 and 20 hui
man lives. The tunnel, which is on the
line of the Colorado Midland railway,
the Santa Fes central route to Califor-
mia, substitutes two miles of track for
ten and does away with one of the most
expensive railway climbs in the world.

selecting Seed Corn.

Long, straight ears with small cob and
but little larger where it joins on the
stock should be the ones chosen for seed.
The greater ease of huslzing such corn is
not its only advantage. IL will generally
ripen earlier, and this early ripening
makes crop many seasons when other
wise there would be soft corn, fit only
for immediate feeding. Corn that is
ripened under favorable conditions will
be filed out to the tips, and these large
round grains have been proved by ex-
pertinent to produce stronger plants
than those compressed and fattened in
the middle of the cob. The present year,
owing to the drought, much corn has
filled poorly. There will be many ears
where the grain is scattering. as drought
destroyed the pollen from the pistils be-
fore the silk was ready to receive it.
Such ears often have scattering grains
that, having plenty Of room, grow very
large American Cultivator thinks it is
worth while experimenting with such
corn, as, If the seed is well dried, it will
undoubtedly produce extra strong and
vigorous plants.

REGISTRATION oE CHINESE.

The New Rules Regulating Johns" Resi-
dence In the United States.
The issue of the expected treasury de-
partment regulations opens the way for
our Chinese fellow residents to walk up
to the internal revenue collectors of their
respective districts, deposit their photo
graphic hkenesses and obtain in ex-
change certificates of protection. These
certificates will enable them to pursue
their callings, whether as laundrymen,
lumbermen, miners, or what not, with
out fear of being sent out of the country
on the charge of not belonging here.
Their right of residence will be con-
firmed by the United States government
in these documents, which they may well
guard with care, inspect with pride and
transmit as heirlooms.
One point to be noted is that even
those Cinnamon who registered under
the old law must now register again.
For this double labor they can thank
their fellow countrymen who failed to
comply with the original statute, and
thereby caused such notifications of it
as to make reregistration necessary.
1t will further be observed that the
Chinaman must offer two photographs
taken at his own expense. This is pc
cuniary burden, yet hkenesses sufficient
for Identification, if not of high grade
of art, may be had at reasonable prices
in these days. Besides the Chinaman
gets the benefit of one of them, returned
attached to his certificate.
If the new law is boon to the China
men, in allowing them a further oppor-
tunity to register, it is also an economy
to the government. The report of Mr..
Carlisle shows that 10, 242 Chinese regis
tered under the old act, and that num-
Der estimated at 90, 495 failed to register,
awaiting a decision from the supreme
court, which was expected to deny the
constitutionality of the law. Surprising
that nearly one-tenth of the unregistered
should be exempt as merchants, teach
ers, students or travellers. there would
still have been about 50, 900 to deport.
The minimum cost of steerage passage
from San Francisco to Hong-Kong is
$51, and Secretary Carlisle says that it
would probably cost $35 per head in ad-
dition to arrest, try and convey to San
Francisco those liable to deportation.
Thus an expense of perhaps $7,310,O0O
would have been incurred in executing
the law.
There is every reason to suppose that,
with the decision of the supreme court
sustaining the Geary act and the regis
tration period extended to Nav next,
this expense will in great part he saved,
and that the Chinese will take out the
certificates emitting them to remain
here unmolested and protected.-New
York Sun.

are geese valuable for their flesh, but
their down and feathers represent fair

has but two varieties to select from, the
Toulouse and Embden, if the best meat
producers is to be the rule for selection
of his stock. William Rankin of Massa-
chusetts, who has had 80 years expert
ence in keeping geese, has been quite
successful with two crosses, those made
by mating an African gander and Emb-
den geese and then crossing the young
geese with pure African gander. The
two varieties of China, brown and white,
although hardy, are not large enough
and do not make pounds enough of flesh
for the early market.
The Toulouses head the list as suscepti-
BILE to greatest growth for extra care.
They are good layers, and their heavy
bodies admit of their being confined by
a low fence. The Embden, or Bremen,
although not quite so large as the Tou-
louise, have the advantage of being pure
white. Their meat is white and deli

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once every "a hours. But few,
however, have any idea of the high rate
of speed necessary to accomplish that
feat. The highest velocity ever attained
by cannon ball has been estimated at
1895 feet per second, which is equal
to a mile in 80 seconds. The earth,
in making one revolution in "a hours,
must turn with velocity nearly equal
to that of cannon ball. In short, the
rate of speed at the equator has been
estimated at nearly 1900 feet per sec
ond, or mile every $50 seconds.
Therefore it has been calculated that if
a cannon ball were fired due west and
could maintain its initial velocity in
dependent of the earth, and could keep
up the speed with which it left the
mouth Of the gun, it would beat the
sun in his apparent journey around the
earth. st. Louis Republic.

THE EMBDEN OR BREMEN GOOSE.

The feathers are plucked three times a
year-in July, in October and in Decem-
Der. The popular belief is that the feath-
ers of lean geese are better than those of
fat ones, and those of living geese better
than those of dead ones. The feathers
are plucked in July from the young
geese, and the down from under the bel
ly, wings and neck. The feathers, though
from living goose, not being come to
maturity, are inferior to those plucked
in October, which, being taken at the
season when they would naturally fall
off, are in perfection. The feathers
again in December, being taken from a
dead fowl, are inferior to those procured
in July. On this principle it is evident
that the sooner the goose is plucked aft
er it is killed the better.
