The Oldest American Flag.

The battle-ship Miantonomoh, of the
United States Navy, in the Columbus
review in New York Harbor, carried
the oldest American flag in existence.
1t was made in the shop of Mrs. Ross,
in Arch street, Philadelphia, by the
Misses Mary and Sarah Austin, and
carried by Captain John Paul Jones, on
the Bonhomme Richard, in the famous
battle with the British frigate Scraps,
on September 8, 1779. The flag has
thirteen stripes, alternating red and
white as now, with twelve five-pointed
stars. That it has only twelve stars is
due to the fact that Georgia had not
been admitted as one of the thirteen
States when the flag was made, in TIT.
The tive-pointed star WAS used, it is
said, out of compliment to General
Washington, the stars on his coat of
arms having five points In the en-
gagement with the Serapis the mast
bearing the flag was shot away, and
Lieutenant James B. Stafford jumped
overheard and rescued the flag and
nailed it to the foremast. The bullet
holes ore still visible. The flag does
not belong to the Navy Department,
but to the descendants of Lieutenant
Stafford, who loaned it to the Mian-
tonomoh. .-Harper's Magazine.

Lumber in the Northwest.

Some surprising figures have just
oeen published anent the great lumber
industry of the Pacific Northwest.
They illrctrate how bountifully that
expansive region has been timbered.
In Washington and Oregon there
are over one thousand lumber and
wood working firms, representing q
combined capital of nearly $50, OO0,-
900 and employing $4,000 men. The
value of the product is in the neighbor-
hood of $25, 100000 yearly. Ten
millions of dollars are annually brought
into these two States from foreign and
domestic points in exchange for lum-
Der, lath, shingles and other wood
products.
In Washington the cut of lumber for
1892 showed large decrease over the
preceding year by reason of the fact
that the building boom beginning in
1890 began to subside during the latter
part of 1891. The cargo trade, how.
evez, during 1892, and the coastwise
movement, considerably increased, and
the Eastern demand for rail shipments
of lumber from Washington increased
fully twenty per cent. According te
indications, this years record Will

Life Preservers for Wells.

The East India coolie is q fatalist;
thinks as little of killing himself as
the Chinaman or Japanese. In point
of fact he entertains marked prefer
ence for self-destruction as a means Of
showing pique at real or fancied in
jury. In the city of Bombay this
tendency has long been source OF
considerable Inconvenience and danger,
as the favorite method of the Eastern
suicide is to Jump into O well, and 1t ls
stated that there is scarcely O we'll in
the city that has not, at some time,
been used for that purpose. An in
genious native East Indian has met
this difficulty by inventing simple
and durable appliance, which has the
merit of not only preventing suicide,
also accidental drowning in wells. So
excellently is this device adapted for
this purpose that it has obtained the
approval OF the Royal Humane Society
of Great Britain. It consists OF a
hoop of wood or metal, over which is
stretched a net of light tarred rope
with four-inch meshes. Metallic
drums support this net just far enoug h
under the water of the well to enable
the buckets to sink and dip, but there
is not enough water above the net to
drown o person. New York Tele-

connected to the end of a horizontal
bar about waist high, which is fastened
to vertical standard in the center of
the track. Thus supported, the man
walks round in a circle at quite rapid
rate of progress.
For the last eight years the inventor
has been at work on a larger steam
man, which he hopes to have in opera
tion during the present year. The new
one is designed for use on the open
streets and is to draw wagon contain
ing band. In the figure we indicate
the method of attachment to the wagon
which has Eeen adopted By the long
spring at the side OF the figure an elias
tic connection is secured, 30 that the
figure shall always have its weight sup
ported by the ground. The present
man, which is about six feet high,
when in full operation, cannot, it is
said, be held back by two men pulling
against it. The larger man, built for
heavier work, is expected to pull as
many as ten musicians in his wagon.
Our cut shows the general appearance
of the figure, which is attired in armor
like knight of old, and which appears
to be thoroughly operative. The action
is quite natural, and the hip, knee, and
ankle motion of the human leg have
been very faithfully initiated. The
figure moves at brisk walk and can
cover about four or five miles an hour.

In close study OF these plants we

akin to it, says the California Maya

call attention to the group which ls
popularly known as carniverous plants
or flesh eaters. A familiar example is

portions of the country. The plant IF

The first one / ever saw caught my
eye by sudden fash of fiery red light,
and kneeling on the damp grass I fairly
caught the little carnivore in the act
which has rendered it so famous There
were several tender, delicate silk stalks
in the center, and round about it near
the ground four or five singular, pad
like objects, about the size of small
buttons. These were leaves, and their
upper surface was covered with reddish
tentacles that stood boldly up, each
bearing a delicate drop of dew that
cleaned and glistened in the sunlight
like veritable garnet. Across the top
of the leaves long-legged, fragile in
sect lay, caught but second before,
and dying a most terrible death.
Five or six of the hair like tentacles
were thrown across its legs and wings,
holding it down and pressing its body
nearer and nearer .to the leaf, while
other rich, blood red stalks were in all
positions bending over to encompass
the victim. The sight was horror in

Odd Facts About Beasts and Birds.

Perhaps no birds spend more o]
their lives c1 the wing than parrots
and pigeons, the latter being among
the most graceful and rapid of the in.
habitants of the air. In New Zealand
q species of parrot is found that, find.

from the rest of the family only IN
this particular, and in being almost
voiceless.
Among recent breeds of pigeons il
the parlor tumbler, which has not only
lost the power of fight, but has very
nearly lost that of walking as well. 1tf
queer motions when it attempts tc
walk have given it its name, the tum'

the Mexican dog is utterly devoid oi
hair on its back or anywhere else. The
hot climate having rendered it super.
fuous, Mother Nature kindly divested
him of it. Nor does "the little busy
bee improve each shining hour" in that
country. On the contrary, it soon
learns that, as there is no winter there,
there is no necessity for laying IN
store of honey, and degenerates into &

sounded idiotic to the discoverers OF
Kamchatka. They found foxes in
large numbers, but SO stupid, because
they had never before seen an enemy,
that they could be killed with clubs.
The "birds of feather" that "focB

guin family, as they are entirely desti'
tute of feathers, having for covering

it for fish.

Tie Forty.Acre Farmer.

scMy father used to tell me about the
richest man he ever knew, said asteady
young fellow few days ago, says the
Detroit Free Press. ''That man had
wife and three children on cozy little
forty-acre farm. He had few hun
dred dollars in the bank and was al
ways adding to it, for his expenses were
far below the profits of his little place.
That man had no sickness in his family.
He was happy. He had everything
that he wanted and was independent.
So he was the richest man my father
ever knew. I cannot soy that I agree
with my respected ancestor, ," continued
the young man, "for that man never
knew of the modern Injuries of life,

ments and conveniences that 60 to

"You are looking" said the older
man, 'to that time when the mind will
sit in an inert body and do nothing but
command. True it is that the tendency
is in that direction; but it is a matter
of grave question whether the good Of
the human race calls for the fulfllment
of the plan. The mind of man is the
master, but the man who looks forward
to the hour when he can sit and by the
pressing of button have the world at
his feet is not the man who will bring
these things about. We yearn for i'm
provements that will make life easier !;
yet with the time-saving methods of

The Steam Man.

A number of years ago what pur
ported to be steam man was widely
advertised and exhibited in this city.
The remains of the individual in ques
tion were quite recently to be seen in
one of the downtown junk stores
Within the last two years the project
has been taken up by another inventor
and practical steam man that actually
walks and exerts considerable tractive
power has been exhibited in actual op
Grafton in this city and elsewhere. II
was invented and constructed by Pro
fessor George Moore, native of Can.
ada.
In our illustration we show the gen
eral view of the steam man. In the
body is the boiler, containing a very
large heating surface, and which is
supplied with gasoline fire. Below
the boiler is situated the engine
While small in size, it is high speed
engine running up to 5000 revolutions
per minute or more, and hence is OF
high power, the combination of boiler
and engine giving about horse power.
From the engine the exhaust pipe leads
to the nose of the figure, whence the
steam escapes when the machine is in
motion. Through the head the smoke
fue is carried and the products of com
bustion escape from the top of the
helmet. The steam guage is placed by
the side of the neck. The skirts of the
armor open like doors, 30 as to give
free access to the engine. The main
body of the figure is made of fheavy tin.
By reducing gear the engine is made
to drive the walking mechanism of the
figure at reasonable speed.
The engine imparts swinging to the
whole length of the leg from the hip;
a second swinging motion, from the
knee downward, is accomplished by a
similar system of levers and connec-
tions, and, finally true ankle motion
is given to the foot by the rod running
down through the lower leg. The heels
of the figure are armed with calks or
spurs, which catch on the surface on
which it is walking and give it its
power. AS exhibited the steam man is

eclipse all others of the past ~ the
commercial progress of the Pacific
Northwest. The Puget Sound Lumber
man estimates that the standing timber
in the State of Washington amounts in
round numbers to 413, 3,OOO,O 900, 600
feet.
In order to grasp the magnitude OF
these figures let the reader, in his.
minds eye, imagine solid train, 15,-
900 feet of lumber to the car, stretch
ing 154, 900 miles, or six times around
the earth, and then enough cars left to
make train stretching from Tacoma
across the continent to the middle OF
the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty cars TOR
train, it would take $4,000 trains
to transport the standing timber Of
Washington.
