THE KANGAROO DOOMED.
Squatters Exterminat-
ing the Long-Leaping Pest.

Science Gossip.
The kangaroo plague has always been
a great nuisance to the Australian
squatters, for OIL an average these ami
mails consume as much grass as sheep.
1t is stated that on sheep-run of 10000
to $4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of kangarOOS are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities.
The number of these marsupals in
New South Wales in 1889 was estimated
to be over 100000. and yet about 500,-
600 kangaroos and $50, 900 wallabieS were
destroyed in the colony in that year. A
bonus of 16 cents for each kangaroo
killed is offered in Australia, hence the
colonists are gradually extermlnating
these native animals. Over 500, 600 skins
are gradually shipped to England and a
large number to North America, to be
converted into leather. The micro
pida includes several kinds of kan
garoos and Wallabies. The progress Of
settlement in Australia has driven these
animals from the more denSely popu-
lated parts of the Australian continent,
but in the country and unsettled dis
tricts they are still numerous enough to
cause very considerable damage to the
natural grasses. So serious has been
the injury thus wrought that the col
onial governments and run-holders pay
a small sum per head for the deStruc-
tion Of the kangarOoS.

The Way in Which q Pioneer
ettIed His Tailor Bill.

San Francisco Examiner.
The estate of he late Hamilton M.
Henston was called up in Judge Coffey's
ourt yesterday morning for final set
tlement.
A web of romance has been woven
about the circumstances attending the
life and business career Of the deceased,
touching the manner in which he OBJ
tanned possession of the real estate that
at last became the basis of his great
fortune.
Mr.. Houston was in early times
tailor. During his transactions IN the
course Of business a pioneer settler
became indebted to him for a suit of
clothes, and not being able to pay cash,
induced his tailor to accept two fifty
vara sand lots in settlement of the ac-
count, much against the creditors de
sire. Those two lots were located at
what is now known as the northwest
corner of Market and Powell streets, III
this city, and ON them the Baldwin
hotel stands.
A year or two before Mr.. Houston s
death, E. j. Baldwin sued to secure
deed to the real estate Ou payment of an
agreed price, claiming that right uuder
the provisions of written contract.
Houston was willing to sign the deed
provided he could get sl,0OO,000 for the
property, but Baldwin said he would
pay only S7O0,OO0. A fter long trial
Judgment was given against Houston,
and he was ordered to make the deed for
the amount named in the contract and
offered by Baldwin.
Before Houston was called on to COM
ply with the courts edict, and pending
an appeal to the supreme court, he
died, and the estate passed into the
probate court.
Seeing that the litigation, il begun
again, would be likely to last long
time, the parties interested made com
promise, and w. f. Goad. the admin
traitor. was by Judge Coffey directed to
deed the property to Baldwin on the
payment of 1921, 800. To this Mrs. Lucy
&. B. Houston and Mrs. E. l.. Blunt, the
widow and only child of The de-
ceased, agreed, as did the collateral
heirs. The written consent of Attor-
II eys Boyd. Fifield and Hoburg to this
arrangement was also filed. Baldwin
paid the money, and the TWO tifty-Vara
lots, originally taken as the price OF
suit of clothes, became his property.
The appraisers of the estate estimated
that the property, if unincumbered by
BaIdwin's leases and contracts, would
be worth s1,01S.000.

BEATS A PYRAMID.
But the Old Man With the Spoon
Was Snubb ed.

Pittsburg Post.
Five or six of us were down at one
end of the car talking about the
pyramids of Egypt and other ancient
things when an old man, who had been
a silent but interested listener. pulled
out an old tin tobacco box and said:
Gentleman, Pm only plain and
uneducated man, but L like to hear
about them old ruins and things. /
guess them pyramids is a powerful
curiosity, but | calkerlate I've got
suthin rite here TO beat 'em."
.'Something you found on your farm?"
asked the professor.
Eyes, on my farm. 1t hain't as big
nor high as pyramid, of course, but
it's more of a curiosity. I've showed
it to twenty different fellers, and none
of 'em ever saw anything like it. |
wouldn't take two dollars fur it jest as it
stands"
'Perhaps you have discovered some
relic Of the stone age or drift period?''
'Shouldn't bit wonder. Pm Willin'
to show it to you, but don't want no
fOoiin' about It, l don't want you to
bend or break it,"
The old man opened the box and took
from mass of cotton the bowl of tea
spoon. The professor received it,
turned it over and over and finally said:
This isn't much of a relic"
'Hain't. it!" chuckled the owner.
Mebbe you'll change your mind afore
we get through talkin'!"
But it's only the bowl of tea
spoon"
"Yes, know, but where did find
it?"
''In the back yard, perhaps"
Not much! Gentlemen, you kin talk
about your old pyramids of Egypt, but
thar is sunthin that knocks the socks
offin 'em every day in the week. You
couldn't none of you guess in five years
whar L found it and, so I'll tell you. l
got that out of cows stomach!'
Nobody expressed the slightest sur
prise.
Nobody cared to handle the relic
We began talking about something else
while he restored it to the cotton and
the box. When he finally dropped the
box into his overcoat pocket, he rose
up and stiffiy said:
Gentlemen, excuse me. | see ]
hain't wanted here. [ see that you'd
ruther go over to Egypt and see a
burned old pyramid and come home
and lie about 1t than to stick up fur
American enterprise, and the hull ca

THE POWER OF THE AIR.
Energy in the Atmosphere
Amounting to Billions of Bill
ions Of Foot-Tons.

Energy in the Atmosphere
Amounting to Billions of Bill
ions OF Foot-Tons.
The magnitude of the store of aerial
energy, writes r. II. Thurston in a
paper on Modern Uses of the Wind
mill," appearing in the current number
of the Engineering Magazine, upon
which mankind may draw, so long
as the race exists upon the earth, is be-
yond the reach of the imagina ion to
conceive, but not beyond the power Of
computation of the mathemati-
clan. Taking the quantities roughly
and in ''round numbers" the
atmosphere weighs about ton to
every square foot of the earth's surface;
25,000,00 tons per square mile, or 5,O00,-
600, 200, 100000 tons on the total OF 20O,
900, 900 square miles. Its energy is due
at velocities varying all the way from
the gentlest zephyr to the hurricane and
the cyclone, rushing over the prairie or
along the surface OF the sea at more
than 100 miles an hour.
A cubic mile of air about 10,000,0 ,000,0 900
pounds, and, at the rate of motions of
cyclone, 1900, ZOO, 600, 900 "foot-tons" of
energy, and. if all employed at this rate
for the performance of work. useful or
destructive, this S,000,000, 100000, 600
"foot-pounds" would be equal to 1000,
100000, 900, ,000-horse power. Ii the dis
turbance reaches the atmospheric shell
including the earth it embodies 10000,
OO0 O0O, 900, ,O00-horSe power, or millions
of times as much as the highest esti-
mates make the probable whole steam
power of the world at the end of the
nineteenth century.
Assuming the moderate velocity of
1917 miles an hour for the whole at
mosphere of the globe its energy per
mile is one-thirty- of that just
completed, and, 5000, 900, 600, 100000 tons
of atmosphere would represent about
$4,000, 600, 600, 100000 foot-tons of energy.
and not far from 50,000,000, ,000,0 900
horsepower; certainly more than
100000 times as much pow
er as have all the engines
in the world combined. Each cubic
mile would store 40,00O,000,000 horse
power, and every square mile, could
100 feet of its superintendent atmoS-
phere be utilized, would yield about
S0.000,000 horsepower, which is not far
from the aggregate of the existing
steam-poWer of the world.

PRICELESS LACE MISSING.
Queen Margherita's Exhibit Short
Thirty Pieces.


Thirty Pieces.
CHICAGO, June 10.-A startling dis
closure was made at the worlds fair
grounds this evening when the priceless
laces sent here by Queen Margherita
of Italy were unpacked. While
the laces were being taken out of
their cases and each piece counted, it
was found that thirty pieces were miss
ing. CablegramS were Immediately
sent to Rome apprlsing the queen of her
great loss, for it seems, as develop
ments thus far indicate, that the loss
will not fall upon the exposition COM
pany, their bond not covering the
safety of the laces in transit.
An effort was made to keep the
discovery a secret, but customs Of
ficers diyqlged the startling news.
These rich possessions, out of reverence
for the memory Of her countryman, the
discoverer OF America, Queen Mar
gherita consented to send to Chi
cago for the fair. She sent a
noble, trusted lady, the Countess di
BraZZe, to watch and guard her treas
ures, and the government of the United
States gave bond for 100000 to guar
antee their safe return to Italy.
The coming or these laceS has been
heralded as an event, and the feminine
population has been on the tiptoe
of expectation. When it became known
that they had arrived at the wom-
ans building, under the escort of
customs inspectors, two men from the
Italian consulate, the Italian consul
himself and two of Capt. Bonfeld's
detectives, crowd gathered at the

packing. After it was completed it be-
came apparent something was wrong as
great excitement seemed to prevail in
the booth where the countess, sur
rounded by custom officials and
guards, was taking from their
wrappings the faces. Customs Inspector
informed re porter that thirty pieces 0
lace were missing. Countess di Brazza
was not accessible. and Nine. Mariott,
secretary of the Italian Woman's board,
refused to see any one.

Hardness OF Copper and Zinc.

An interesting fact concerning the
relative hardness of copper and zinc has
been brought to light by means of NJ.
Paul Jannetaz's new soleometer. Most
authors regard zinc as harder than cop
per. If, however, the metals are exam
ined in a sufficiently pure state, it ap-
rears that copper is the harder of the
two. This removes an exception to the
rule that the harder the body the less
it's atomic volume.
