Our pestiferous friend, the bicycle,
continues to grow In favor, and it is
beingput to very practical uses, notes
the Chicago Record. In the German
army estimates for the present year
the sum of $25, 900 is included for the
supply of bicycles to the infantry.
Two wheels are assigned to each bat
talon and an instruction has been is
sued dealing with the bicycle service.
These machines are to be used for
communications between columns On
the march and for communications
between advanced guards. When
troops are in quarters bicyclists are to
fulfil the functions of orderlies, es-
pecially where mounted orderlies are
wanting; they will also relieve the
cavalry from relay and intelligence
duties. In great fortresses all the
duties hitherto devolving on cavalry
as bearers are to be trans
ferred to bicyclists. In the military
service of our own country the BIZ
cycle has already begun to figure con
spicuously with admirable results.

A Wonderful Hog,

Oscar Andreen, who lives at Lex
ington, Mo-, was in town to-day, Mr..
Andreen has Just returned from
Texas, and while he was rusticating
in the country near sherman, a
farmer friend invited him out to see
a trained hog kill rattle snakes. The
farmer drove the hog out among the
many rocks back of his house, and in
less than half an hour the porker had
slaughtered twenty big snakes. The
hog caught thin rattlers back Of the
neck and tore them to pieces with
his front feet. The farmer paid $3.50
for the hog and bought him exclu-
sively for snake-killing purposes. He
hunts snakes like dogs do rabbits
throws his whole soul into the work,
as it were. Mr.. Andreen exhibited
the tail of a snake having thirteen
rattles and a button which he saw
the hog catch and kill. The farmer told
Mr.. Anderson that since he owned
the hog it had killed for himself and
neighbors more than 1000 rattle
snakes. The hog is thin, razor back
hatcl-splitter, and when you say
snakes to him he will jump over
stale-and-ridered fence and go af-
ter them. Great hog = Mexico (Mo.l

COloring Leather by Eleetricity.

In new process for coloring leather
by electrical action the hide is stretch
ed upon metallic table and covered,
except at the edges, with the coloring
liquid. A difference of potential is
established between the liquid and the
metallic table. The effect of the cleo
trio current is to cause the pores of
the skin to open, whereby the coloring
is enabled to penetrate deeply into its
tissue.

LAST OF WOODEN SHIPS.
Steel to Replace Timber in the Yards
of Bath. Me.

They will build no more big wooden
sailing ships at Bath Me-, the chief
city of timber ship yards in the Uni
ted States. The biggest yard there
has Just put in a steel plant, and
steel ships will soon be produced.
Bath is a shipbuilding city to the
core and to the man, 1t was incor-
porated as town in 1850, but ships
were built there more than century
and half ago, and though the indus
try has sometimes Jagged sadly sea-
going vessels have been launched
from the Bath yards every year since
the first keel was laid.
It's site was fixed upon by the set
tiers with especial reference to its
adaptability to shipbuilding, 1t is
located some miles up the Kennebec,
the shores of which between the city
and the sea are rugged and abrupt.
But at Bath there is not only enough
comparatively level ground for town
of some size, but there the river
broadens into what seems like a spa
cious bay extending along the cits's
front and northward for several
miles above it. Bath itself is mar
row, and stretches along the river
bank for three or four miles. Ship
yards, docks, foundries and sawmills
all sorts of industries accessory to
shipbuilding-crowd each other on
the shore.
In the good old days great fortunes
were made out of shipping and ship
building in Bath and the fortunes OF
the town are still bound up in the
same industries, of which there has
been revival during late years. The
names of Houghton, Sewal, Patten,
Goss, Sawyer Rogers, Hawley and
Donnell, shipbuilders famous in the
annals of Bath, are inseparable from
the history of marine construction
in the United States.
Bath was made city in 1850. In
1860 her population was S,076, in
1870 1871, in 1880 1874 and in
1890 S,723. These fluctuations cor
responded exactly with the condition
of American shipbuilding and are in
themselves significant. Time was
when the majority of the craft
launched from the yards of Bath were
square rugged, but for some years
fore and aft schooners, of three and
four masts have largely predom-
mated.
Among the largest vessels turned
out there are the Susquehauna, of
2,72S tons burden, and the Roanoke,
of $685. The Roanoke is, in fact.
the largest wooden ship anoat, and
there is but one larger sailing craft
on the ocean, the fve-masted steel
built France. The Roanoke is also
the largest American ship ever built
but one, the Great Republic, which
was launched in 1883.
Notwithstanding the superior size
of the Roanoke, she has not so good
record for fast sailing as the Sus-
Quehanna, which beat her in recent
trip from New York to San Francisco
"around the Horn" the Susquehan
ma S time being I'D, while the Roam
olles was 125. Though both are
wooden vessels, they are fine speci
mems of the shipbuilder's art, all the
latest ideas being embodied in theil
construction.

How Man Goes to Sleep.

Order is heavens first law" and the
old truth is manifested even in the pro-
cess of going to sleep. When man
drops off to sleep his body does not do
so all at once, so to speak. Some
senses become dormant before others
and always in the same order As he
becomes drowsy the eyes close, and the
sense of seeing is at rest. 1t is quickly
followed by the disappearance of the
sense of taste. He next loses the sense
of smell, and then after a short interval
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound, or rather the nerves which run
to the brain from it fail to arouse any
sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave is that Of
touch, and in some representative peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. Even in
their case, however, there is no dis
eliminating power or sense of what
touched them. This sense is also the
first to return upon awakening. Then
hearing follows suit, after that taste. and
then the eye becomes able 10 flash i'm
pressions back TO the brain. The sense
of smell, oddly enough, though it is by
no means the first to 90, is the last to
come back.
The same gradual loss of power is OBJ
served in the muscles and sinews as well
as in the senses. Slumber begins al the
feet and slowly spreads up the limbs
and trunk until it reaches the brain,
when Inconsistencies is complete and
the whole body is at rest. This is why
sleep is impossible when the feet are
cold

Remarkable Well in Kentucky.

On the land OF farmer five miles east
of Crab Orchard, KY, is a well which is

its waters, though clear, limpid, and

The wells discovery, ii the natives

party of excursionists from the springs
went out in that section in quest of
ferns, fossils, and the like. On their re-
turn they found the well and stopped to
get drink. An old lady living near

the refreshing fluid for the thirsty ram

the remainder on the ground near the
well. Just al this instant young man
of the party lighted a cigarette aud
