QUEER MAILS.
Letters Carried on Dromedaries and BY
Hand in Egypt.

Letters Carried on Dromedaries and BY
Hand in Egypt.
ut was pretty hard for me to get
used to the Egyptian mail system dur
ing the two years l spent in that coun-
try" said traveller, according to the
st. Louis GlobeDemocrat
''The mails then went by curious
kind of post. All Egypt is on the Nile
and one line of mail service up and
down the river went through every city
and village from Cairo to Assouan.
This line was cut into sections, and on
each section was a foot-runner, who
went over his course three or four times
a day, backward and forward, meeting
the next runner at each end and pass
ing along from one to the other any
letter he might receive. Thus no mail
bag was made up. but letters were
passed singly.
"All government letters went by ex-
ira express, q mail rider going by
dromedary, crossing the desert, and
thus avoiding the long bends In the
river 1t was sort of strange to follow
with my Imagination my letter in their
wanderiEgs, carried by an Arab
mounted on dromedary, guided by
the stars across the desert at night and
wearied by the hot sun in the daytime.
Those letters are carefully preserved in
my family as curiosities, and, II they
could talk, would doubtless tell of Arab
tents where they rested, and of wild,
dark passes in the mountains, whers
bowling wolves and fierce hye mas were
close upon their track.
CeIluiose Like Ebonite.
Cellulose has just been obtained by
some London chemists in dense for M
having the appearance of ebonite, and
capable of taking a.high polish. The ma
terial contains carbon bisulfd and sodio
hydrate, which are gradually given up
when 1t is dissolved in water, cellulosa
being precipitated. If some of the soJ
luton is spread on glass, transparent
film of cellulose can be obtained. Cell
lulose can also be deposited from the
same solution on woven materials Of
paper, producing permanent stiffen-
ing or sizing. The solution forms q
substitute for glue, of great strength,
and insoluble in water when set. The
material can also be obtained in con.
tinuous sheets or films.

A Bridge 63s Feet High.

The highest bridge of any kind in the
world is the Loe river viaduct, on the
Antofagasta railway, in Bolivia, South
america. The place where this highest
railway structure has been erected is
over the Melo rapids in the Upper
Andes, and between the two sides of a
canyon, which is situated 10000 feet
above the level of the Pacific. Count
ing from the surface of the stream to
the level of the rails, this celebrated
bridge is exactly $685. feet in height.
The length of the principal span is so
feet, and the distance between abut-
ments total length of bridge) is 500
feet. The largest column is 314 feet 2
inches long, and the batter of the pier,
what is known to bridge builders as
zone in three" The guage of the road
is 2 feet inches, and trains cross the
bridge at speed of 80 miles an hour.

study from the books
Inc brilliant retreat of Washington
after the battle of Long Island, and
that battle itself, as well as those in
and around New York, can be brought
wildly to the mind by actual presence
on the ground, and when that story is
thus told it is found as thrilling and
romantic as any tale of history.
So, too, that swift and unexpected
march of Washington across the Jer-
seys to the Chesapeake, thence to
Yorktown, could be easily covered in
an excursion of three or four days, and
the trip is one which some of those
whose interest was stimulated this sum
mer will take next year.
But not alone to revolutionary times
are the possibilities of informing ex-
cursions of this kind limited In every
part of the country there are historic
associations, some of them most excit-
ing, all of them worthy to be learned,
which an excursion of few days or
weeks would make familiar to those
who live in the vicinity. The opening
up of the west, the traditions of the
heroes who suffered and yet were brave
in those exploits, would give abundant
opportunity for excursions of this sort;
but there should always be with the
party some person of authoritative
knowledge who would be able to ex-
plain and to tell the story, and thus i'm
press it upon the mind.
The impulse which has led to the
designation of important places by
monuments Is so great that in few
years probably most of the places that
have historic associations connected
with the building of the nation, and
many of those connected with the civil
war, will be marked by permanent me-
mortal stones. And the impulse will
be much strengthed if it shall become
the habit, in the pleasant season of the
year, for scholars and those of maturer
years to spend few days in visiting
such places

breakfast hour is eight o'clock, and
after he has eaten that meal his tutors
take him in hand and keep him busy
with the study of the languages, arith-
metic and geography until his dinner
is ready at noon. A German prince be-
comes soldier when he is ten years
old, and after that he must take regu-
lar military exercise in addition to his
work at school. He has no time to be
lettering around the town and engag-
ing in dissipation, because he is held to
strict account as an officer of his regi-
ment, and his rank does not shield him
from the articles of war A prince
must do his work just as thoroughly as
private. Strange as it may seem, a
German prince has no money to spend.
An allowance is made for his school
ing, board and lodging, but he himself
cannot draw a check or can he indorse
paper to be discounted. In fact, it NAV
be said that the successor to the throne
is in many respects minor until he be-
gins to rule.

INDIANS OF THE NORTHWEST.
Some of the Tribes That Are Located in
British Columbia.

Some OF the Tribes That Are Located in
British Columbia.
Siwash is a name which has been
made generally applicable to all of the
west-coast Indians from Puget sound
to Alaska. These Indians are divided
into great number of tribes, differing
in language, manners, and modern
traditions, though in their older tradi-
lions there is such a striking similarity
as TO indicate beyond doubt that they
have sprung from a common source. If
one were to attempt to trace the origin
of these tribes, says the Toronto
Globe, he would find that apparently
the country now occupied by them had
in other days been peopled by an older
and in all probability an inferior race,
with whom the ancestors of the pres
ent generation had mingled; but at
point on the Queen Charlotte islands
there is line beyond which the older
tribes had evidently come into contact
with a later and superior infusion.
Among the Hidas on the Queen Char
lotte islands is found a fine race of
men. In their physical makeup they
are'large and powerfully built; they are
somewhat lighter in color than their
southern neighbors, and more intelli-
gent; their mythology is more compli-
Gated, but more carefully wrought
out, and they excel in their arts
of woodworking and carving. Com
ing south from the Queen Charlotte
group, it is found that the influence
of the older and inferior race is more
and more strongly impressed upon the
tribes, and a gradual deterioration con-
tinues, with few Interruptions, right
down to Vancouver island, where
very ordinary type of aborigine is
found. From all that can be traced in
their mythology, in their peculiar
methods of thought, and, in some in
stances, in their tribal traditions, il is
reasonable to suppose that the ances-
tors of the Hidas drifted across the Pa
cific ocean, most probably from Japan,
and found Judgment on the islands
now occupied by their descendants.
These involuntary invaders had found
an inferior class of natives, with whom
they had commingled until the distinc-
ton between them had been obliterated
and new tribe had been formed. That
this supposition is probably the correct
one is shown by the fact that within
comparatively recent times japanese
vessels have been blown out of their
course and drifted upon the North
American coast. -..
That the Queen Charlotte group has
not been the only harbor of refuge for
these storm-tossed mariners of old is
probable, for among some of the tribes
farther south, even down as far as the
powerful Bella Coolas, there are found
evidences Of superiority which can only
be attributed to a commingling of the
japanese, though with intermediate

HISTORIC SPOTS.
Interesting Points for Americans
to Visit and Study.
Much Valuable Information to BE rOb-
tained by Viewing the Battlefields
Where Freedom Was Fought
for and Won.

During the past summer a company
of persons spent brief vacation sea-
son in visiting some of the places
made historic by important events of
the revolutionary war. They spent
several days in Boston and at other
convenient points, and when the trip
was ended the members of the party
were amazed that so much was to be
learned by an actual visit to these his
toric spots.
Better than that, says the Youths
Companion, the desire for thorough
information about the notable events
of the revolution, as well as of the
causes which led to that revolt for
liberty, was greatly stimulated. Many
of the party of pilgrims intend next
year to go to other places, like Valley
Forge, Brandywine and Yorktown,
and by study on the spot to become
familiar with the reverses and tri-
umphs of those important days.
The experiment was in every way so
successful that it is quite likely that
others will initiate the example of this
excursion party. Certainly it is one
which might be followed with profit
by students in the colleges, and by
young men and women whose knowl-
edge of the stirring scenes of the days
which gave independence to the coun-
try is vague and often inaccurate.
In Germany it is the custom of the
youth to spend part of their vaca-
tions in making excursions to places of
historic interest, where the events
which made the region famous are de-
scribed with accuracy by persons who
have made a study of them. $685..
In two or three years of such vaca-
ton study one might gain thorough
knowledge of the battles, the csuses of
the reverses, and the strategy which
led to the triumphs of the war of the
revolution. Recently public spirit has
caused many places which for many
years were unmarked to be designated
by appropriate monuments. BY OBJ
serving on the spot the topography of
Bunker Hill, Dorchester Heights and
other places near Boston, one may
learn in two or three days more of the
history of the first campaigns of that
war, than can be obtained by long

German Princes Held to the Closest Ac-
countsbility for All Their Actions.
Poultney Bigelow, who probably
knows more than any other writer
about the private life of the German
royal family, has been telling writer
for the Pittsburgh Dispatch some in
teresting things concerning the educa-
ton of the German princes. In the
first place, he assures us that the dis
cipline laid down for the emperors
sons is far stricter than that to which
most boys are subjected. The prince
of Germany, who in the natural course
of events will some day rule nation
and have money enough to do what he
pleases, does not have an easy time of
1t by any means. He is obliged to rise
about daybreak, and when many a
young American is still in bed he is
being instructed in horsemanship. His

weaknesses between these points and
points north and south, showing that
they had received fresh infusion from
without at particular places. In the
seventies a japanese junk in distress
was picked up as far south as helower
end of Vancouver island and towed
into Victoria harbor. Words similar IN
pronunciation and meaning are found
in the japanese and tribal languages,
and there is a striking similarity in the
general physical outline of the two

A Very Salty Lake.

Though the Salt lake carries lower
proportion of dissolved solids of all
sorts than does the Dead sea, the lake
contains more than double the proper
ton Of salt. The chief solid constitu-
emit of dead sea water is not sodium
chloride common salt, but magnesium
chloride. Strictly speaking, the water
of our Jake is much "brinier" than that
of the dead sea, common salt being the
chief solid dissolved in the lake. Never
theless, the Dead sea is much more
highly saturated with solids.
Botanical Oddly.
The "grapple" plant, a botanical Cd
dity which grows only along the edges
of the Kalahart desert, has the general
resemblance of an immense starfish.
Each ray or arm of this vegetable curl
osity is provided with natural grab
hooks" and if a sheep gets too near it
is likely to be caught by the wool and
held till it dies.

RIOT AT BUTTE.
One Man Killed and Another Fatally
IDJured-streets Cleared by Militia.

One Man Killed and Another Fatally
InJured-streets Cleared by Militia.
BUTTE, MONT, July 5.-An A. ?. a.
riot broke out here last evening and
one man dead, one fatally Injured and
half a dozen more or less seriously
wounded is the result Of the outbreak.
The militia has been called out and Is
stationed in one district Of the city.
All saloons have been closed as well as
pawn shops and places where ammuni-
tion is sold.
The trouble was precipitated by two
saloonkeepers displaying on the fronts
of their places bunting forming the let
tiers A. p. A. During the fight some one,
presumably Catholic, set Of stick OF
giant powder under one OF the windows
demolishing a pane OF glass, This at
tracted large crowd of people TO the
scene which blocked the street ali day.
After the parade, the police could not
disperss the crowd. Several fights &C.
Cured, and the first shot was fired by
William Ferguson at William Page.
This intensified the feelings and the
crowd started to tear down the build
ings occupied by the saloonmen
who had the a. P. A. sign out. Judge
Mediation, Of the District Court, APP
peared in a window and addressed the
crowd, appealing to them TO commit
no overt act of violence and gave as
surance that the trouble would soon
end. The crowd could not be Gained
but was held at bay.
At 6:3O the riot broke out and the ire
department rushed into the crowd,
turning the water upon them. The
hose was then turned in Simon Haus-
wirth's saloon and the A. ?. A. signs
torn down. Several men inside the
saloon began shooting. One man STOOD
at the door and fred six shots into the
saloon, The sheriff and posse then
came upon the scene. The mayor
called upon the Governor for militia
and several local companies were or
dered out. Ropes were drawn across
the street and the militia cleared the
blockade. All was restored 10 quiet at
the immediate scene OF the riot, out at
the other end OF the block large crowds
assembled and more trouble was ex-
pected.
The excitement ran high all the even
ing and there was lively interchange
of shots with the following results: d..
II. Daily, a special policeman, was shot
through the heart and instantly killed
by Frank Munford, baker; VIM Page
received q CHANGING shot over the eye;
Samuel Dunn was shot 10 the side aud
is probably fatally injured.
About fifty arrests were made and the
Governor has been asked to send mil
i,a from Helena aud other points in the
State.
