A SCENE ON SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN.
twenty-stamp mill is pounding out two
thousand dollars day and the hills
about are swarming with prospectors.
The hermit says that he cares less
to come to town than he used to when
people were fewer and he went down
to the old Mexican village Of Tucson.
The railroad came and drove him away
from there. Then he went for his sup
plies to Phoenix. Again the railroad
followed him, 50 now he goes to the
smaller towns on the farthest verge
of spreading civilization that marks
with fringe of green and ribbon OF
water line across the desert waste.
He does not know the names of the
''new-fangled" palms, pepper, oleander
and olive trees that line the streets IN
lieu of the old cottonwoods. He
saws he will not again come into the
valley to Mesa, but will get his sup
plies from the stage station at Globe.
1t would be hard to follow him as he
makes his way back into the hills, for
he goes different way each time and
no trail betrays his way to his her.

rugged sides, snow never spread its
softening mantle upon them. and no
cooling springs bubbled at their base.
But prospectors looking at them
through distance with their glasses
said they were in the gold belt and
had an auriferous formation.
From time to time this enchantment
lured them into these unknown hills,
but they never came back-perished
from thirst or were scalped by lurking
Apaches. Only one man could live
within their wild conines-the ue,-
NIT.
The Apaches feared him as an evil
spirit, for they believed him crazy. and
such they hold in fear and never harm.
But they had other cause to fear this
man, for no one knows how many OF
their number his unerring aira has
brought to death. They never sought
revenge, for they believed those thus
smitten were marked to die by the
vengeance of the Great Spirit. So for

TAKING SOUNOINGS AT SEA.

A ship regularly engaged in deep-sea
sounding usually has the sounding |
machine mounted at the after end, and
when about to sound is brought to
standstill with the stern to the sea.
The stray line, with the sounding rod
and sinker attached, is over the guide
pulley and carefully lowered to the
waters edge, the register is set to zero,
and the deep sea thermometer is
clamped to the sounding line; 4 seaman
is stationed d the friction line which
controls the velocity with which the
wire is unreeled, another at the brake,
and a third on the grating outside to
handle the sinlzer and instruments
and to guide the wire as it passes over
board: a machinist is at the hosting
engine and the recorder takes a posi-
ton for reading the register. When
the sinker is .et 60 the vessel Is
mancuvered so as to keep the wire YER
tical. and the friction line is adjusted
so as to allow it to descend from seven
tv to one hundred fathoms per minute.

what the government can need a jew

The treasury building furnishes
work room for nearly two thousand
people. They are all due at their
posts of duty at nine o'clock in the
morning and leave there at four o clock
in the afternoon. There is clock in
every room occupied by chief of d'vi-
sion. These clocks constantly need
repairing, or else new ones would have
to be bought. 1t is cheaper for the
government to maintain its own work
ers to keep the clocks in order. Some
of these clocks have elaborate frames
which become married in various ways.
One of them had just come from the
varnish-room. 1t had been given a
new back and side in the cabinet-rdbm,
had been painted in the paint-room,
vanished in the varnish-room, and
was deposited in the jewelry shop just
as the guide entered with his guest.
