Science In Prison.

While SiemenS was stationed in 1910
at Wittenberg he became interested in
the discovery, then recently made by
Jacob, Of the precipitation of metallic
copper from the sulphate by means of
the galvanic current. He repeated the
experiments successfully, and applied
the process-so far as his means would
permit-to other metals. His studies
were interrupted by his arrest and irl-
Fcisonment for connection as second
with duel between two of his brother
officers. Not relishing the idea of
spending an indefinite period in idle
ness, he managed en- his way to the.
citadel to make arrangements to have
the materials required in his electro
plating researches smuggled in to him.
He set up small laboratory in his
cell and made Himself contented there
Recollecting, from experiments he had
made in the Daguerrean process, that
hypoSulphite Of soda would dissolve
the insoluble salts Of gold and silver,
he applied the principle to elcctrolysis
with astonishing success; and he be-
lieveS, he says, that 1t was one Of the
greatest joys of his life when a newly
silvered teaspoon which he had i'm
mersed at the zine pole Of a Daniel
cell into a cup filed with hyposulphite
gold solution, while the copper pole
was connected with a louis dor as an
anode, was converted in a few min
ntes into a gilded spoon Of the most
beautiful, purest golden luster." Gal
vano-platng was then new in Ger
many, and his discovery made much
talk A jeweler OF Magdeburg, visit
ing him In prison to examine into it's
merits, he sold him the right to use it
for forty louis, and thus obtained means
for continuing his experiments. He
counted upon enjoying still several
months of captivity, and the unmolest-
ed prosecution OF his researches, when
the unweleome message came to him
of royal pardon, and he was obliged
to leave the citadel at once, without
house or other spot in which to set up
his apparatus. He asked leave from
the co1nmandant to stay q little longer,
but was denied, accused Of being un-
grateful for the royal c1emency, and
was hurried out of his quarters at
midnight.-From q Sketch of Werner

y Duck Night.

Duck Night Mt Ewells store, down
on the Virginia coast near the North
Carolina line, is locally famous in
the ducking season as the special
night I'm the week when the store
keeper is ut home to the duck hunt
ers Of the region. Ewell buys ducks
OF the hunters, paying for the game
in goods from his store, and shipping
his purchases TO an upcoast life
saving station, when they find their
way TO the markets OF Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York. As
Ewell waits behind his counter with
a lantern, the duckers, rude-looking
fellows OF the beach-combcr type,
drop in one by one and sit round in
the gloom. Ewell hangs the game in
n cold room at the rear OF the store
and accredits each ducker with the
agreed value OF his ducks. As each
transaction is made the ducker re-
calls something that he needs from
the merchants stock, and when he
has received the article the price is
debited against his credit. The duck
or then relapses TO the nearest barrel
or box and waits until some other
needed article occurs to his mind.
He then makes the now demand upon
the merchant, has new debit placed
against his credit, and again sinks
back into the gloom. After fuzzy two
hours Of this sort OF thing, those who
wish the balance Of their credit paid
in cash receive their dues and every
body cautiously repairs TO n hollow
tree nearby, where moonshiners from
over the North Carolina line are wait
ing with n fiery article Of untaxed
liquor, and the heart OF the ducker is
made glad. i Chicago Herald.

What Soda viii Do.

In washing dish towels, brushes,
the sink and other utensils, dissolved
soda will be found most useful,
cleaning and sweetening all that it
touches. 1t should be kept in a
large olive bottle and should be Ia
belled washing soda.
To prepare it put one pint OF the
dry soda in saucepan kept for this
purpose, and add TO it three quarts
OF boiling water. Let this mixture
stand upon the stove, stirring IL fire.
quently, until the soda Is dissolved.
When cold put into bottles. This
preparation when hot is an excellent
agent for cleaning and sweetening
the plumbing in the house. Pour a
pint Of the hot liquid into each bowl,
basin and sink about once fort
night As the liquid unites with
grease it keeps the kitchen sink pipes
free OF greasy deposits. II is well to
buy this soda by the quarter barrel.
II is extremely cheap when bought
by the quantity.-LNew York World.

SAT ON THE HOT RAILS.
A Band Of Apsches Given . Surprise
or q Train.

"For real hot-weather stories you
want to go to a hot-weather coun-
try" says w. +. White, passenger
traffic manager of the Santa Fe Rail-
road. Now you can find hot weather
that is hot weather in New Mexico
and Arizona. It's one thing to 90
through that country now on train
which carries the conveniences for
keeping cool, but it was quite an
other thing when the railroad was
being built and there was nothing
between you and the sun but fiery
alkali dust.
The Atchison road reached Deming,
NM, , in 1881 and it was n hot summer.
1t had been hot right along for days
in that steady, energetic fashion that
would make n man wish for an hour
in Bessemer steel mill to cool off.
The first construction train pulled
into Deming on day that was SO
scorching as to stand out even among
those other blistering days. The
train was made up Of n long line OF
fiat cars, and along the centre OF the
cars ran pile of steel rails a foot
high. The rails had been in the full
glare Of an unblinking sun until they
were about as hot rs when they first
came through the rolls at the mill.
when the train came into Dem
ing il was, of course, an object OF
great interest, and no one was more
interested than lot of Apache In
dians. They were peaceful enough
and filled with curiosity, and were
quick to assert the birthright Of the
American Indian to ride free on q
railroad train. The conductor in
charge was something Of joker and
saw an opportunity for some fun. He
urged the Indians all TO climb up on
the fiat cars and have n ride. TIL,
engineer was in the scheme, and as
soon as the Indians were upon the
cars, he backed his engine with a
jerk. They could ride n bucking
pony under any condition OF unstead-
mess, but this motion was new to
them and the entire party sat down
on the rails.
"Well my idea OF Indian stoicism
was shattered. There were shrieks
that added new notes to the regula-
tion war whoop, and the Apaches left
that train and started of across the
hot sands in way that would have
turned us oil gray il they had been
coming toward us instead OF running
away. They undoubtedly to this
minute remember that as the hottest
day they ever knew Chicago Tri-
bune.

Cost OF Growing Wheat.

The Department OF Agriculture has
issued a summary made from esti-
mates Of %, 900 farmers Of the West
and Northwest, and OF 1000 experts
OF the department on the cost Of
growing wheat. The average cost
per acre for the region covered is Sll.-
so, while the average for Wisconsin
is more than a dollar higher, or sl2.-
93. Ground rent is the heaviest sim
gle item, and is estimated at nearly
s3 per acre. The principal items Of
cost have remained about normal du-
ring the past four or five years, being
slightly higher where any change is
noted, owing 20 the increase Of cost
oflabor during the prosperous times
from 1890 10 1898. During that Pc
riod, however, the price Of wheat fell
nearly one-half. As a result, either
wheat production must be restricted
or large part OF IL must be done at
O loss.-[New York World.

suspicious aroused, and gave the
woman a perfectly harmless drug.
On second thoughts he decided to
mention the matter TO the husband,
and requested him to say nothing
about il 10 his wife. In the evening,
as she was preparing the porridge,
the man kept watchful eye on her
movements, and noticed that she
scattered something out Of paper
into the saucepan. When the por-
ridge was ready he sat down TO the
table and began TO eat. After while
he got up in great excitement, paced
up and dSNn the room and at last
fell fainting on the floor. This was
what the woman expected. She now
pulled down rope through hole in
the ceiling with moose, which she
placed round her husbands neck,
whereupon she ran up stairs into the
garrett in order To pull up the rope
! and hang her husband in that fash
ion. Meantime the husband got up
and tied few chairs to the rope.
The wife did not return 10 the room,
as she dreaded the sight, but went
out into the village TO raise an alarm,
saying that her husband had hanged
himself in her absence. When she
came back with host Of neighbors
and crocodile tears in her eyes, there
was her husband sitting at the table,
laughing till his sides ached. The
chairs were still dangling on: the rope.

Jack 10 Dead.

Jack, the police dog Of the third
district, st. Louis, is dead. He pass
ed away yesterday while accompany
ing the patrol wagon, and so great
was the grief of the officers and those
around the police station that suffi-
cient money was raised 10 give him a
proper burial. Jack was little ugly
terrier. He had no respect for any
one but those who wore uniforms,
and one OF his greatest pleasures was
10 jump into the patrol wagon and TO
accompany the driver 70 the spot
where some unfortunate was being
held. Yesterday the wagon was called
out. and as usual Jack seated himself
with the driver.
The horses rushed out of the sta
tion and made sharp turn on Sew
snth street. Jack was swept of his
seat, and in spite of his unayailing
Efforts he fell under the wheels, which
passed over his body and crushed his
llfe out.
About eight years ago Jack was
brought to the police station and in
S'"Aicu as JAN SuuEu Without ioou
or pay. A neighboring dairy and
bakers shop, however, seemed char
itably inclined, and the dog soon
learned TO call there every morning.
Jacks career has been an eventful
one. Two years ago a prisoner at
tempted to escape from the station.
He had slipped out of his cell, and
was just on the point OF beating a
hasty retreat when Jack spied him,
and making a terrific jump clutched
him by the collar and refused to loose
his hold until two officers, attracted
by the prisoners cries, came TO
Jacks assistance and recaptured the
prisoner. On another occasion some
one was attempting to pass a bottle
Of whisky into one of the cells. Jack,
who was standing on the outside.
grasped the offender by the leg, and
although dragged along for fully two
blocks, the plucky dog held on until
a policeman collared the man. st.
