The Typewriter on the Battlefield. From the Detroit Free Press.l


 Military authorities appear to be ex- hausting every resource thet will add to the rapidity of communication be- tween the field of battle and the com manding officer For a long time the telegraph was mainly relied on for the instant transmission of intelligence, and then the telephone was brought into active use. It has been recently seriously proposed that aids-de-camp and other carriers of information in time of war should be taught short- hand, in order to write down important communications with all possible speed, and the latest move in this direction is the introduction of the typewriter on the scene of military operations:
 One of the novel features of a recent military tournament in England was the use of the typewriter on the battle field for the purpose of recording mes- sages from signallers. It is stated that the typewriter operator was also an ex- pert cyclist, and had his typewriter mounted on the handles of his machine. Riding In and out among the horses and gun carriages, which he did with out the slightest mishap, whenever he came to standstill he instantly braced up the cycle by a handy contrivance and pounded away at the typewriter while in the saddle. The message, when completed, was sent to the com manding officer in the rear by means of a trained dog. ..-..s

Early Mistake. in pryinx Lumber.


 The earliest attempts at the artificial drying Of lumber made no difference in the matter Of varieties Of wood or quai- ity Of stock. All kinds and qualities were run in promiseuously. The only theory acted upon was that the lumber. being green or wet. must be dried in the shortest possible time. To effect this result 1t was only thought r,eces- sary to create as great Q heat as possi- ble within the limits of safety. and to raise 1t to the maximum degree in the very shortest time. the limit being often raised to a reckless height, not infre- quently reaching the point of actual partial carbonization to an extent that killed the life of the lumber so treated. Often the kiln would be hastily opened for the removal of dry stock. while It was under full headway. with the heat up to the highest point. and green and often frozen lumber hurried in to re- ceive at the very outset a blast of heat as near the point of combustion as 1t was possible to raise 1t with any de- gree of safety.
 This. of course. has reference more particularly to the days of dry hot air and furnace heat. though the same was true of the earliest attempts at steam heating. Nothing was known or thought of the effect of thus subjecting lumber to high temperature at the very first stage of the drying process and nothing was known of the effect of high temperature upon different varie- ties of wood or the same variety under different conditions. whether entirely green or partially or wholly air dried. One thing only was known-that Neat would drive the moisture. whether nat ural or acquired. out of the lumber. if 1t was only applied hot enough and long enough.-From 'Kilr Drying Hard Wood" by o. 8. Whitmore. in the Rop- ular Science Monthly for June.

Efforts Made to Use Gold Exports Against
 the Market Without Success,


 New York. July 26-An effort was made to-day to use the gold exports against the stock market. but the ex- pertinent was a failure. London houses were given up as sellers of St. Paul at the opening. and it was said that the foreigners had started to liauidate be- cause of the steady depletion of the gov- ernment gold reserve here. Close ob- servers. however. soon came to the con- clusion that the selling of St. Paul was inspired by a local operator. and as the foreigners did not follow up the iiquida- ton in other parts of the list their theory was generally adopted. So far as the gold shipments are concerned $2,- 500,o00 have been actually engaged for Saturdays steamers. and the arrange ments are on foot for the forwarding of an additional s2.000, 900. The actual ship ments on the day named may reach s5.- 100000. 4.r.
 Foreign houses state that the matter of dividends on the granger stocks Is being much discussed abroad. but 1t is noticed that local bears are having less to say on the subject since Director Brewster of the Rock Island denied the rumor about his company passing or re- ducing its payment. The early decline in prices ranged from r to 1A per cent in the active railway list, St. Paul and Omaha leading.
 In the active share Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred declined 2% to 3s. and Lackawanna 1N to l62. The decline however, brought out but little long stock. and when some of the smaller shorts attempted to cover a rally of t to 1M ensued. Louisville and Nashville sold up ls to 46h. The active issues Inn proved # to z per cent. and held the advance to the close.
 American Sugar, of course, was the feature of the market again to-day. and figured for more than fifty per cent. of the days business. The stock opened < higher, at 104h. fell to 101M, rallied to 1O3. declined to 1O1%, and closed at 102M. The stock was affected by Wash ington advices as to the progress of the tariff bill. When 1t was rumored that the senate bill would go through the stock advanced, and when 1t was re- ported that the differential duty would be knocked off the price declined. Distillers was higher, rising from 17N to 1s Chicago Gas, Lead and Cordage were quiet and steady. Leather pre- ferred fell 2%. to 55. and recovered to 581s. The market in the final dealing was firm in tone Net changes for the day showed advances of # to 1H per cent. American Sugar lost 2M, Wheel ing and Lake Erie preferred 2as. Lacka- wanna 1%.

4 Big Luminous Tree.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
 Every one has heard of luminous plants and shrubs" said Ernest F. Gould of Hamilton. New, yesterday, "but comparatively few people are aware of the existence in our state of a luminous tree Of large proportions. The Indians have always entertained wholesome dread of this tree and have a number of legends connected with 1t. some of which are clearly founded on the biblical story of Moses and the burning bush. As a result of their su- perstition the tree has come to be known as the witch tree,' and is quite a source of interest among people for miles around. It is 8 valuable land mark at night, as 1t can be seen half a mile away, and the phosphorous sub stance which exudes from it IS 50 pow erful that 1t Is possible to read a few words of print held close to 1t.

moved from his eyes Benny was stand ing on the top of one of the highest peaks of the shawangunk. overlooking the Mamakating valley. Ninety-nine was gone. And he never was seen of again. ..-.
 From the description that Benny gave of the surroundings where he stood on the peak. the people coneiu- ded that he had been left by Ninety nine back of Port Hickson. That is the story which has led three generations of credulous folk to spend their money and their time in attempts to find the cave where Benny Depew says he saw Ninety-nine's treasure. And they haven't given up the search yet"

Then Ninety-nine told Benny he would have to submit to blindfolding, and Benny, submitted. They travelled on, and when, after an hours rough and devious march, the bandage was removed from Benny's eyes, he stood in the middle of cave It was some time before his eyes could bear the sight, soj dazzling was everything around him. When at last they had become accustomed to the surround ings, they saw such things that Benny could neither move nor speak: The walls of the cave were lighted by many candles. Rich carpets covered the floor. Voluptuous pictures and statua- " hung on the walls and filled bril- l,antly lighted niches. One piece of statuary Benny said he only had the countenance to simply glance at just once.
 'Heaped in glittering confusion on tho floor were bars of gold and silver and sdofnes of coin. From every side resplendeht jewels glared at him with myriad eyes of fire. while Ninsty-nine thrust his hand into cask. and, talk ing 1t out and holdipG it above the cask, released what he held within it. A stream of flaming diamonds fell back into the cask.
 .These Flsre some of the things that Benny said he gazed upon in Ninety hines cave until he was we'll nigh crazed. But the greedy custodian of all that fabulous wealth 'pefmitted hin, to feast his eyes but g short time. Then he plindfalded Benny again and

Of our young society people during the
past week or two. Enquiry has failed
to explain what this mysterious some>
thing is which is going to happen.
They tell us. early in January, and II
is being conducted under the direction
and patronage of Mrs. Gilmore, assisted
by Mrs. H. It. Crosby. A large number
of our young people are responsible for
thus exciting our curiosity, and we
shall expect to be well repaid for
waiting so long for its qualification.
