Wool, after IL Is shorn and cleanscd
preparatory TO the carding and spin
ming processes, is capable of being
highly charged with electricity, and the
phenomena resulting from this char
nctcristic are familiar 90 all cardcrs.
Oftcntimcs the influence Of this agent
Is so active as TO interfere mate
rally with the working ~ the
wool. Wool that is thoroughly wet, or
that Is well fabricated, either urti-
ncially or with It's own natural
grease, shows no effects from the
presence of electricity, and it may be
accepted as n wcll-estahlishcd fact that
In all grades OF wool ,hc susceptibility
To the influence Of electricity increases
In the ratio Of dryness or absence Of
lubricating material in the fiber, or, In
other words, to its freedom from the
moistcning effect OF oil or water. Suf-
licicnt moisture, properly applied, will
not only prevent all the ill-effects Of
electricity i'm wool, but will destroy
every evidence OF It's existence in both
the picker and card rooms by making
the feed light i'm bulk, speeding the
feed roll and doffcrs faster or a quick
feed and quick delivery, and reducing
the speed OF the main cylinders, tum-
blers, fancies and the vibratory mo-
tions of the condenser, all of which re-
suits IN diminishing the friction, the
electrical effects arc also done away

An Account OF the Vast Travelling Don,
by an Indian.

An Account OF the Fast Travelling Done
by nm Indian.
A. w. Anthony, n mining engineer
and naturalist, now living in San Diego,
tells 81 an instance OF fast travelling 50
extraordinary rs TO put all six-day go
as-you-plcasc records in the deep shade,
says the Los Angeles Times.
We were in San Fernando, Mexico,
several hundred miles below san Diego,
says Mr.. Anthony. a band of renegade
Indians held up the camp, stealing all
portable property. il was desirable TO
get message 70 the nearest governor,
two hundred and sixty miles away, for
assistance 20 chase the outlaws. One
runner, Jose, a mission Indian, six feet
two inches tall, weighing about one
hundred and eighty pounds, all muscle
and bone, was given the dispatch and
urged TO make haste over the rugged
and sometimes mountainous road TO
the governor. IIQ made haste. Ac-
cording to the official records now in
the Mexican archives, our message ask
ing for help was delivered in just
twcnty-four hours after Jose left us.
Such record 81 two hundred and sixty
miles afOot ia twenty-four hours Is,
believe. unprecedented. This courier
or runner travelled ninety-iivc 20 one
hundred and twenty-five miles daily on
foot as regular business, carrying
mail. llc could easily carry two sacks
OF ore, weighing ono hundred and fifty
pounds each, 10 the ore duinps. When
running he was clad simply in ovcralls
and shirt. l'ig feet were protected
either by sandals or thicl,-eolcd mecca

made their way back to their homes.
One day a pigeon from one Of these

One day door of the great dove cote

The foundation of the fortunes Of
many of the great Texas cattlemen

lowing the civil war, says a man from
the Lone Star state.
During the four years In which tho
drafts for the confederate army prac-
tically dcpopulatcd the country Of its
ablc-bodied mon, the cattle on the
ranges, running unhcrdcd and un-
branded. increased enormously in nunl-
bers Bearing no brand OF ownership
these cattle, which at the close Of tho
war had become practically wild, were
subject TO be taken by any man who
could sustain his attempt by force on
arms against other claims OF owner
ship.
There was good commercial de-
mand for hides, and these were the
times when so many got their start M
life by riding, pistol in hand, up to the
cattle wherever found unhcrdod, shoot
ing them down, and taking their skins
The adult cattle then running nt large
were too wild TO be disposed of in any
other way. and so the Undertaking IN
dustry ilourished; but when, IN time
through the catching and branding %
calves, herds had been collected OF
ranges. the shooting Of mavericks fell
into disrcpute and come under the bar
