Yeast is a vegetable germ, found
upon the skin of grapes, plums and
some other fruits-in fact, the beautiful
shade upon the skin of these fruits
known as "bloom" is produced by the
yeast germs that float in the atmosphere
settling upon them.
If yeast germs get or are put into a
substance in which they find material
adapted to their development, they in
crease rapidly, and by their. vegetative
action during growth cause the sub
stance in which they are growing to
bubble or ferment.. When this fer
mentation is induced in sweet infusion
of malt, rye and corn by the introduce
ton of yeast, millions of yeast germs
rise to the surface of the liquid and
form a scum resembling the troth on
new milk.
In the preparation of compressed
yeast this scum is poured off into watts
of cold water and allowed to settle to
the bottom, after which the water is
pumped off. The yeast is then pumped
into hydraulic presses, where it is re-
duced by pressure to the desired con
sistency. 1t is then made into cakes
and put upon the market as compress.

The Worlds Fair is now half
over, and the number Of paid adj
missions up to August aggregated
Z millions. Although this is very
greatly in excess of the admission
to the Centennial for a correspond
ing period, it has not realized. til e
expectations Of the managers, and
the fair cannot result in financial
success. 1t is believed the next
three months will witness an influx
of visitors to Chicago which will
greatly surpass the record Of May,
June and July, but after all, it
seems to be settled that Chicago
will have to content herself with
those intangible benefits resulting
from the Fair instead Of direct pee

The great civilized nation of
France has forced the semi civiliz-
ed nation Of Siam to humble itself
in the dust. By a display Of en-
ormously superior military
strength alone, has the European
republic compelled the surrender
Of a large portion Of the territory
Of the helpless little kingdom. The
little Eastern nation made earnest
appeals to God-fearing Great
Britain, which turned a deaf ear to
the appeal for it's interest lay more
strongly in other directions.
China was asked to assert its SUI
Grain rights, but China could not
afford to enbroil itself with the
civilized power. No other power
was interested in the matter sufi-
GENTLY to listen to a plea for aid.
Resistance would have meant the
humiliation Of the nation, the dis
truction Of the fair cities and the
loss of many lives. Surrender,
abject and complete, was the only
other alternative: The King Of
Siam, preferred to save a little
rather than sacrifice all, acceded at
the last moment to all the demands
of his oppressor. Instead Of war
there has been only an enormous
highway robbery.

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH was
hung in efigy by the enraged citi-
-zens Of Rome, a little town Of
Adams county, Ohio, Saturday
night at 10 o'clock. A number Of
pensions had been suspended
before the climax was reached
when the pension Of J. L. Reed, a
veteran Of the Eleventh Illinois
cavalry, aged 50, a dropped.
Mr.. Reed had served four years
and five months and his pension
was his sole support. When he
received the news Of his suspension
he became a raving manaic. The
aroused citizens, led by John Fur
nier, a Democrat, proposed to hang
Smith in efigy Saturday night.
Over 1000 people, irrespective OF
party affiliations, assembled to
participate in the ceremony. 1t
was intended to burn the president
in efigy also but wiser counsel
prevailed. A platform was erected
on the public street and several
speeches were made, after which
a procession marched through the
town headed by a brass band.
The effigy was then hung and after
wards burned.

DOWN MOUNT HAMILTON AT
NIGHT.

A Thrilling Stage Coach Ride at Full
Speed, Turning Many Sharp Curves.
1t was late when we left the build
ing and began the downward trip, says
a writer in the Californian. 1t was
so dark that determined to ride down
as far as Smiths, making the start from
there afresh in the morning The coach
L happened to catch contained a party
of excursionists. The road down from
the summit is, in all probability, the
finest cut road in the world, but it is
steep, abounds in sharp turns and ter
r1t1c precipices, and is not q road one
would select to go down at full speed.
Yet when the four-in-hand turned
down into the road, the driver mashed
his hat firmly on his head and brought
a crack from his whip like a report of
revolver, at which the horses Sprang
forward in a mad gallop. Crack came
the whip again, and with a terrific
sway the heavy coach swung round
the curve and went tearing down the
road while fitful shrieks began to come
from the 'inSides." Trees, spectral
trunks, great oaks and sycamores flew
by, clouds of dust rose and hid the land
scape so that the horses seemed rush
ing into fog bank. Over bridges we
went. the thunder of hoofs rising in the
night with a. Wierd and forbidding
sound. The pace kept increasing; the
horses were at a dead run, sweeping
round curves with a frightful swing
now coming up under the brake with
a terrible crash, then tearing madly
on in the wild race for the lights of
Smiths away below in the gloom
Great trees with. long branching arms
reached out, seeming to intercept the
road. Cuffs of gloom opened up sud-
denly as the coach dashed around
curves. Spectral sycamores stood
white and distinct, where on every
side masses of verdure made the night
more impenetrable- black gulf all
about, down which they seemed skur-
rying. On plunged the coach-herses
and driver seemingly gone mad-until
finally, after pivoting around in a re-
markable manner, we rushed away in
a cloud of dust over the little bridge
into the blending and welcome light of
Smiths inn.

ORIGIN OF LIFE INSURANCE.

Founded About 1850 as the Result
of Investigating Games of Chance.
1t is curious fact that the doctrine
of probabilities" or the scientific basis
upon which all insurance rests, had
it's origin in game of cards. That is
to say, the foundation upon which this
great economy depends, and upon
which it owes it's claims to the con-
fidenoe and patronage Of the commu-
nifty, originated from investigations re-
garding games of chances.
AS related by the North American
Review, it happened in this way:
About the year 1860 the Chevalier de
Mere, a Flemish nObleman, who was
both a respectable mathematician and
an ardent gamester, attempted to solve
the problem of dividing equitably the
stakes when game of chance was in
terrupted. Inc problem was too diff
cult for him, and he sought the aid
of the famous Able Blaise Pascal,
a Jesuit priest, author of might
Thoughts" and one of the most accom-
plished mathematicians of any age.
dSCdL oO1NSu pLOOICAlS anu ia
doing so enunciated the doctrine of
probabilities" or laws governing So
called chances. Upon this depend not
only the laws governing insurance of
all kinds, but also the laws governing
the motions of planets in space, and,
in fact, all astronomical science. This
doctrine or theory Pascal illustrated by
the throwing Of dice. When a single
dice is thrown the chance of turning up
an ace is precisely one out Of six, or
one out of the total number Of sides or
faces. But if a large number of throws
are made it will be found that each
face will be turned up an equal number
of times.
From this Pascal laid down the prop
osition that results which have hap
pened in any number of observed casFs
will again happen under similar circum-
stances, provided the numbers be suffi-
cient for the proper working of the law
of average. Thus the duration of the
life of a single individual is one of the
greatest uncertainties, but the duration,
or rate of mortality, of large number
of individuals may be predicted with
great accuracy by comparison with the
observed results among a sufficiently
large number of persons of similar
ages, occupations and climatic intiu'

he rode up to a sentry and demanded:

card without Any known Cause.
There have been many stampedes in
Montana within the last thirty years.
Not stampedes of horses and cattle,
but of men. From the discovery of
gold on Grasshopper creek, in Beaver
head county, In 1862, to the present day
stampedeS to new diggings have been
to Alder Gulch, from Alder GulCh to
Last Chance, and thence to Confeder-
ate, to Highland, to Silver Bow, Pho
neer, Lincoln, Bear and hundred 9TH
ers. But, according to the Butte Inter
Mountain, one of the worst Stampedes
that ever took place in Montana was
to Sun river in the spring of 1866. That
was one of the coolest springs ever eX-
perienced by white men in Montana.
A terrific blizzard set in shortly after
the stampede fairly began for Sun
river. No one knew what had been
discovered or whether anything at all,
but rumoP got abroad that rich dig
gingS had been found, and nearly every
man who could rustic small grub
stake and cayuSe started for the sup
posed new gold fields At that day the
country to the north was not inhabited,
and the SufferingS endured by the stamr
peders were terrible. Many were frozen
in the pitileSS storm, Il few lost their
lives, and to this day few old timers
are living in the state minus fingers and
toes from that fearful trip. 1t turned
out also that there had been no diScOv-
cry of gold made, which added diSap-
pOintment to the SufferingS Of the staln-
peders, and if the party who started the
story of rich gold discoveries had been
found then his days would have been
speedily shortened.
But no one seemed to know then
nor does any one now know exactly
how the great Sun river stampede
started. It is supposed to have been
caused by a letter written by man
who had gone north from Last Chance
in the fall. This man, in his own es-
timation, had met with flattering sue
cess. He had fallen in with some
friendly BlackfoOt Indians, secured q
squaw who had some horses and a
tepee, and was in land filled with
wild game Of all kinds. He thought it
was the next thing to paradise. He
wrote to a friend in Helena that he
had struck it rich; intended to stay all
winter, and was well fixed and well
satisfied with his find, failing to state
what that paricular find was. To the
miners who saw it there was but one
meaning to be attached to his words:
He had struck diggings, and that is
what started the great Sun river stam-
pade in the early davS.
