Each Man had Iron Nerve.

There were four of us who had
encamped for the night on the
Gunnison river, in Western Colo
RADIO. We had been prospecting
for gold with decidedly poor success
and were therefore rather disheart-
ened, but we endeavored to keep up
our spirits while we lay about the
roaring campfire and smoked. Sud-
denly we were startled by a pecu-
liar whirring sound which every
man of us recognized instantly.
There's a rattler i'm the camp
cried Jeffries, as he started up.
"Look out for it.
We all moved rather hastily, with
the exception of Bolton, who lay
quite still on his back, his hands
under his head, his cob pipe having
fallen from his teeth.
"Sh!' he whispered. "For
heavens sake, keep still! The
snake has crawled into my shirt"
We all knew what that meant,
and we became motionless instantly

my spine as | thought of the poison

Not muscle of Bottoms body
moved, and it seemed that he had
ceased to breathe. The only mo-
tion apparent about his person was
caused by the snake crawling be-
meath his shirt. We sat there
staring and helpless, unable to make
a move to save our imperiled COM
rade. After time the RATHER
thrust his ugly head out Of the
opening in Bottoms shirt, lifting il
over the motionless mans face.
We could see the reptiles forked
tongue darting out and his eyes
glittering, while his head waved
from side TO side. Still Bolton re-
mained motionless, knowing that

Seeing by Electricity.

The mention of electricity
brougt up new possibilities for fu-
ture discovery, some of them SO
amazing as to almost pass the
bonds of credibility. Prof. Bell
said:
"Morse taught the world years
ago to write at a distance by elec-
tricity; the telephone enables us to
talk at Il distance by electricity; and
now scientists are agreed that there
is no theoretical reason why the
well-known principles Of light
should have been applied in the tel
ephone, and thus allow us to see at
a distadce by electricity. 1t is some
ten years since the scientific papers
of the world were greatly exercised
over a report that had filed at the
Smithsonian Institute "a sealed
packetsupposed to contain method
of doing this very thing; that is,
transmit the vision of persons and
things from one point on the earth
to another. As a matter Of fact,
there was no truth in the report,
but it resulted in stirring up a doz-
ell scientific men of eminence to
come out with statements to the ef-
feet that they too had discovered
several methods of seeing by elec-
tricity. That shows what | know
to be the case, that men are work
ing at this great problem in many
laboratories, and | firmly believe it
will be solved one day.
"Of course while the principle Of
seeing by electricity at distance is
precisely that applied in the tele-
phone, yet it will be very much
more difficult to construct such an
apparatus, owing to the immensely
greater rapidity with which the vi
brations of light take place when
compared with the vibrations of
sound. 1t is merely a question.
however, of finding a diaphragm
which will be sufficiently sensitive
to receive these vibrations and pro-
duce the corresponding electrical
vibrations. ."-McClure's Magazine.

Not 80 Silly a he Looks.

In a village not far from York,
there lived a youth who was known
by no other name than ''Silly Billy"
On one occasion he was about to
attend the funeral of friend, when
he discovered that he did not possess
the necessary black clothes, so he
went to a neighbor's house and re-
quested the loan of a black coat
and tall hat. The man not being at
home at the time, his wife, out of
sympathy, let him have the required
articles.
AS he was returning from the
funeral, decked in borrowed gar
ments, he was met by party of
villagers, one of whom suggested
that they should have u clark
with Silly Billy.
This they proceeded to do, smash
ing the hat and nearly tearing the
coat to ribbons. The lark over
Billy said to the man who had pro-
posed it:
"Mr. Goodheart, you was allus
kind ter me, warn't YEP"
"Why, yes. This is only lark,
Billy" was the reply.
"Well, would you mind taking
these things home to your missusp
| don't like to COS they was all right
when she guv 'em to me-"
Mine! You idiot! Why didn't
you tell me befOre?"
Because" said Billy, with a
grin, III thought yer could do as
yer liked with yer own clothes"

the slightest action on his part
might seal his fate. We could see
he was white as a corpse. Jim
Nevans, the best pistol shot of our
party, drew his revolver, pressing
on the tricker as he cooked it, so it
might not click. The snakes head
was within six inches of Bottoms
eyes, and it seemed that the veno-
nous creature might strike at any
moment.
"Shall | shoot, Dave2' softly
asked Nevans.
"Shoot," was the only word Boil
ton uttered.
The cooked revolver was slowly
lifted, and every man held his
breath. The weapon spoke and the
bullet cut the rattlesnake's head
from his body. Like flash Dave
Bolton leaped to his feet, tore the
beheaded reptile from his bosom and
flung it into the fire. Then he
sank down helpless, almost faint
ing, great drops of perspiration
standing on his face. But he had
displayed pure nerve.-N. Y. Dis

the great ice age in North America
actually occurred during the present
era of human life. These evidences
consist in the finding of some i'm
pliments of ancient man in the un-
disturbed glacial gravels.
Among the discoverers of these
relics is DR.. G. C.. Abbott, distln-
guished archaeologist of Philadel-
phia. The specimens were all
found by him in the Trenton grav-
els at Trenton, at recorded depths
and in undisputibly undisturbed
glacial deposits. Professor Putnam
also found specimens in the same
locality, and other scientists have
come upon impliments of stone in
similar deposits in various parts of
the country. The most convinc-
ing, however, is a find made some
time ago by Mr.. w. G. Mills at
Newcomerston, Ohio. In a glacial
gravel terrace in that town, at the
mouth of Buckhorn Creek, he came
upon stone impliment fifteen
feet below the surface, and which
is now in the Western Reserve His
torical Society of Cleveland. The
gravel in which this relic was found
was covered by six inches of sand,
several feet of supplementary gravel,
and from three to five feet of earth,

A Novel Use for Volcanoes.

During trip recently made by
the American steamship Rush, Il
visit was paid to Bogoslov Island,
where is the famous volcano of that
name. In conversation with one of
the officers an interesting account
was obtained of the discoveries and
facts CLEANED by the visit.
Bogoslov is one of the small is
lands separating the Behring Sea
from the Pacific Ocean. 1t origin
ally consisted of one island with two
craters, one of which first sprang in
to activity in 1892. Last winter the
island was the scene of a strange
convulsion of nature. The second
crater, now known as New Bogoslov,
became active. In some powerful
convulsion the sand-pit which had
connected the two parts of the is
land was submerged, and one era
ter was separated from the other by
several fathoms of water.
It is thought that during this
convulsion changes occurred in New
Bogoslov below the water-line; that
assures were opened through which
volumes of water made their way
into the cauldron within. This ac-
counts for the immense quantities
of steam which the officers of the
Rush saw escaping from the crater
at distance of fully sixty miles.
Of the two craters, New Bogoslov
offered the most interesting field of
study. The crater was found to be
only two hundred feet above the
sea level. The peak disappeared
in the gaping hole. Along the
sides of the volcano large deposits
of lava, pumice, ashes, and volcanic
rock were seen; from assures on the
level earth springs of boiling sui
phur arose to the height of from
seven to ten feet.
The officers planned an ascent to
the crater-a hazardous feat, which
could only be attempted when a
favorable wind carried the shifting
volumes of sulphuric steam in "a
single direction. When near the
mouth of the crater footballs of the
officers were echoed within the vol
cano. On peering over the edge of
the mouth an impressive sight was
witnessed. Steam in endless guam
titles rushed up from unknown
depths, and rumbling, bubbling
noises, like that of thunder were
heard. The air was impregnated
with sulphur, and near the crater
one could only breathe with diff
Guilty.
One of the most novel discoveries
in connection with the ascent was
that the ocean birds used the vol
cano island as a natural incubator
for their young. Thousands of
gulls flew away at the approach of
the Rush. They left behind them,
along the sides of the volcano eggs
in all stages of development.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The Golden Wedding.

Comparatively few couples are
spared to enjoy the pleasure of eel
ebrating the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage, their Golden We'd
ding, but such was the good fortune
of DR.. Frederick and Mrs. Hum
phreys in August.
The reception took place at Mon
mouth Beach, their country-seat, of
which there is none handsomer on
the Jersey Coast, the grounds run
ming to the broad Atlantic; the
beautiful house of "many gables"
was even more attractive than ever,
when there was gathered beneath
its spacious roof, children, grand
children, kinsfolk and friends from
far and near.
The dresses of the ladies, the
strains of sweet music, the fra
GRANGE OF fiowers and the many rich
and rare presents gave the effect
of fairy-land.
The scene seemed complete, when
the central figure, erect and hand
some as of yore, DIR. Humphreys,
and his sweet-faced wife, children,
grandchildren and friends, stood
while the golden Loving Cup was
passed from hand to hand. Each
sip of the rich wine was accom-
panied by a silent prayer for the
continued happiness of our host and
hostess.
