KAISER WILHELM was determined
to have peace this year, Tut it will
strike the critical observer that he is
paying long price for it. The new
commercial treaty with Russia gives
the latter country immense trade adj
vantages, for which she offers but
meager returns. Germany fought
one of the most sanguinary and ex.
hausting wars of the century-that
OF Is7O-71--to gain advantages In
trade similar to those which Russia
is now securing without firing a shot
or losing a man. The Kaiser will
find himself severely criticised, a
year or two hence, for raging SC
heavily for peace-unless In the
meantime the great European wal
has come, and Germany has been
victorious In 1t.

THERE Is no weapon so effective In
political warfare as ridicule, and
there is no man Sd susceptible to
rdicule as the professional joker.
Both these truisms have received re-
demonstration In the defeat of John
Kendrick Bangs, humorist by trade
and politician for recreation, for the
Mayoralty of the city Of Yonkers.
Mr.. Bangs ran on the Democratic
ticket in a Democratic stronghold.
No allegations of bad character, in
ability, or unfltness for the duties Of
the office were made against him, and
yet he, humorist, litterateur, bon
vivant, and man-about-town, met de-
feat by about 200 plenteors ballots at
the hands OF plain, ordinary Repub-
lican politician Of the name of Peene.
1t was most peculiar campaign. 1t
was not fought upon any of the es-
tablished lines usually governing the
conduct Of municipal contests. Nor
personalities nor politics entered into
it to any great degree. All Bangs
opposition did was to secure numer-
Gus copies of the current number of
the publication in which he Is wont
to print his humorous lucubrations,
mark the most dismal of them, and
send copy of the magazine with an
explanatory note to each voter in the
bailiwick. And the wielders Of sui.
frage saw the joke. 1t was better
joke than any of Bangs making. 1t
was a joke even the dullest intellect
could comprehend in all its fullness
and beauty. And the honest, joke
loving electors of Yonkers arose and
went to the polls aud showed under
Bangs the humorist in a way which
should prove an everlasting warning
to all other fabricators of mild quips
and innocuous jests and diluted
satires. The humor of Yonkers
proved itself superior article to the
humor of Bangs. And the truisms
quoted were again Endorsed.

An sice minev ID reported from New
York Gulch, Meagher County, Mon
tana. In early days the gulch turned
out $4,000, 900 worth of gold, but Of
late years 1t has been nearly deserted.
Last summer, says the Northwest
Magazine, two pr0spect0rs uncovered
the mouth of an old shaft and glanced
curiously down IL, They saw the ice,
which reached up to within four feet
and eight inches of the surface. They
considered 1t curious, and thought
what a good place 1t would be to keep
their meat, butter and other food
from spelling while they were work.
ing in the neighborhood. They low
cred their provender into the Ice
mine with the best results. Natur-
ally they told-of their find to other
miners, with the result that for q
radius of three or four miles around
the miners came to the Ice shaft,
lowered the beef and other provisions
into the mine, putting their tag on
1t, and hoisting the rope from time
to time as provisions were needed. 1t
Is a godsend to the miners, as 1t en-
ables them to keep meat fresh In the
very hottest weather. The miners
are unable to give any solution of this
strange phenomenon. The formation
of the gulch is shale, reddish In color
and full of assures. 1t Is supposed
that gusts of air from cold cave
may have underground connections
with the shaft, and rapid evaporation
near the top may explain the con-
tinued formation of ice there as 1t 10

Do Flying Fish Fly?


A very common error made in nat
ural histories where this fish is men,
toned is that it does not fly. ats
supposed flight Is nothing more than
a prolonged leap; 1T cannot deviate
from a stright line, and cannot rise a
second time without entering the
water" This, briefly, is the sort Of
thing one meets with In textbooks
where reference is made to this fish.
The simplest way Of dealing with
it is the professors method Of an
sweling the query of the French
Academy whether their definition Of
a crab was correct The story Is so
well known that it does not need
repetition. AS the result of personal
observation extending over good
many years, assert that the exOcetus
does fly.
have often seen flying fish rise
200 yards of, describe semi-circle,
and, meeting the ship, rise twenty
feet in the air perpendicularly, at the
same time darting of at right angles
to its previous course. Then, after
another long flight, when just about
to enter the water, the gaping jaws
of dolphin emerging from the sea
gave it pause and it rose again, re-
turning almost directly upon its
former course. This PROCEDURE is so
common that 1t is a marvel it is not
more widely known.
A flying fish OF mature size can fly
1000 yards. 1t does not flap its f1ns
as bird, but they vibrate, like the
wings of an insect, with a distinct
hum. The only thing which termin-
ates flight in voluntarily Is the drying
Of its Din membranes and their conse-
quent stiffening.

He Gould stand IL.

A church organization In Maine in
tending to give performance Of some
oratorio were a little alarmed about
the cost of the thing. Accordingly
the director of the chorus suggested
to the leader Of. the orchestra that
had been engaged:
"We've got to keep our expenses
down, and i thought we might get
you to leave out the trombones. You
know they have only four measures
in the entire oratoriO, and IL you
leave them out we can save at least
$25, and no one be the wiser"
The leader of the orchestra as
sumed a tragic attitude and answered:
THAT would be an insult to the com.
poser"
Thereupon the chorus director OBJ
served: "Oh, never. mind him; he's
dead"

How He Got In.

In 1777, while Harrodsburg, KY,
was SO beset with Indians that the
Inhabitants were in straits for daily
bread, young man only 16 years old
made himself extremely useful by
venturing out of the fort before day
break, and returning with load OF
game after nightfall. This intrepid
youth was James Ray, afterward Gen.
Ray.
One day in the year just mentioned
Ray and another young man were
shooting at mark near the fort
when the second man was suddenly
shot down by the Indians. Ray
looked In the direction whence the
shot had come, and seeing the enemy,
was on the point Of raising his rifle,
when he was set upon by another
gang who had crept near him unseen
He took to his heels. and being a
quick runner, reached the fort amid
a shower of bullets. But the gates
were shut, and the men inside were
SO frightened that they dared not
open them. Finding himself shut
out, Ray threw himself fat on the
ground in the rear of stump, and
here, perhaps seven steps from the
fort and within sight OF his mother,
he lay for four hours, while the bull
lets OF the Indians tore up the ground
on either side of him.
At last he grew impatient and
called out to the garrison:
@For heavens sake, dig hole un-
der the cabin wall, and take me In. I"
The men inside set to work imme-
diately, and the brave young hunter
was speedily safe inside the fort.
