The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest award for articles OF its class

wherever exhibited in competitor with
others. In the exhibitions Of former
years, at the Centennial, Mt Paris,

ed the Royal Baking Powder the high

At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-

Arizona is literally covered with
the ruins of strange habitations.
Most OF them are constructed Of con-
crete or adobe, and the mystery about
them is the identity OF the people
who designed them. How they could
be built is not matter OF conjecture,
as the materials are close at hand.
But there is one ruin, although Still
in good state OF preservation, that
is a mystery, no matter in what light
it is considered.
1t is in the Huachucha mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
in northeastern direction Nothing
is known of its origin, and the Won
derful part is the material OF which
it is constructed.
1t is about two hundred miles from
the ocean, and surrounded on all
sides by hills OF sand and rocks COW
cred with cacti. There is no water
for miles, except the excuses for riv-
ers that run during the rainy season.
There is not even a suggestion of
water, aud yet the house is built Of
sea shells laid in sort Of cement.
Where the shells were obtained is
a mystery that may never be solved.
IL does not seem possible that the
builder Of the house would carry the
material OYER hundreds Of miles Of
desert when there were plenty of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose just as well, even though
they were not so unique.
The house is built In the shape OF
the straw huts Of the Papago Indians,
and is about the same size There is
room inside for five or six persons,
but at present nobody occupies it, ex-
cept perhaps, some prospector, who
uses it for temporary shelter in cold
weather.
There are a dozen varieties OF shells
to be found In the walls, and one
over the door is of extraordinary size.
The age Of the building will never
be known, but there is little doubt
but that it is as old as the Oldest in
the Territory.

The Recorder Of the city OF New
York has the name of possessing a
short temper, but for bakers dozen
of years he has with cherubic resig-
nation put up with having his name
mispron0unced by some LOO, 00e of
his fellow-citlzens, every one Of whom
is pretty sure to have that name on
his tongue during some portion Of
the year, The Press, therefore. comes
to the long suffering Recorders res
cue by informing the general public
that Frederick Smyth pronounces his
name Smith In repose and with the
eyes closed, as they frequently are,
as if to shut out the dismal outlines
Of the courtroom, Recorder Smyth's
face looks like a death-mask of George
Washington. When he smiles, as he
does on those very unusual occasions
when lawyer makes a really humor-
Gus sally, il is a smile Of dry amuse-
ment, and the face looks then like
that Of a cynical eighteenth century
diplomat. The Recorder has great
fund of quiet humor Of his own,
W itch he keeps pretty much to him
self Everybody knows Of this Judges
severity toward evil-doeIs, and his
reputation for bending the plastic
minds Of juries in thS way that his
strong mind inclines-which is gen
orally for conviction-is widespread.
On the other hand, none but habit
ues of the court are aware Of his
many kindnesses to innocent prison
ers brought before him, nor Of his
encouragement of such young law
yers as he really thinks worth de-
yeloping. His term expires next year.

There are some unfortunate Indian
villagers who appear to live all their

but to trust everything to official pro

times proves anything but a safe.

ant Governor to take action before
they were gobbled up.
A particularly hungry tiger had es-
tablished itself close to the village,
and almost every day witnessed a
fresh outrage. At one time, the
beast showed preference for cattle,
and the milky mothers Of the herd
had their ranks thinned. But this

make war upon their striped foe; al
least they protested to be. But they
possessed no arms, that being for
hidden by law, while the state die

THE alm OF A WHEEL.
Explanation o. why the Tor Moves Faster
than the Bottom.

Explanation 81 why the Tor Moves Faster
than the Bottom.
The statement that the top Of a
wheel moves faster than the bottom
has oecasionel much discussion by
practical men in all lines OF business,
and frequently they have aired their
views in these columns. Our excel
lent contemporary, Power, recently
published the following lucid explaui
alton of the problem:
The angular velocity OF all parts OF
the wheel about the hub is the same.
The linear velocity about ire nuo OF
all points in the wheel is proportion
ate to their distance from the center,
whether above or below the center.
With reference to the ground or a
stationary object the top Of the wheel
advances the faster, but as every
point in the wheel Is consecutiyely
assuming that position the forward
motion Of the wheel as whole, Is, Of
course, the same. In the accom-
panying sketch the top Of wheel Is
marked A, the bottom B. As the
wheel makes a half revolution,
bringing A to the bottom and
B to the top, these points are
carried through paths indicated by
the dotted lines During the first
quarter revolution A has gone to Al,
B only to b, but during the next
quarter A goes only to Az, while 3
goes to BE-. The curve traced is d
cycloid. While the point B was be-
low the hub it went ahead only the
distance K; when it was above 1t went
ahead with reference to the ground
the distance VI When A was above
the center 1t went ahead the distance
M, after it fell below the center II
only made the distance in the SAINT
time, but plus y equals m plus n
The apparent anomaly that different
parts Of the same wheel can travel al
different speeds is explained by re
membering that it is the speed al
between one part Of the wheel and
stationary object, not as between
different parts of the same wheel
that is considered. In the first posi-
tion A and B are at equal distances
from a point in front Of the carriage
In the second position A is ahead o
B in the direction Of movement Of
the carriage distance to the diane
ter of the wheel. In the third posi-
ton they are again even, for one
loses below the center as much as thu
other gains above.

A well-known New England clergy
man once exchanged with a brother
clergyman and was entertained al
the house Of a parishioner who was
even too hospitahle. She insisted
upon his eating a large piece Of minc.-
pie for dinner, and the minister
yielded, against his better judgment
The consequence was that he became
violently i'll, and was unable to preach
that afternoon. The doctor was
summoned, and while he was minis
terlug to his agonized patient, the
latter looked up and said, feebly
but with an inimitable twinkle ol
the eye: Doctor, I'm not afraid t
die, but Pm ashamed to!"
