The Fulton Gordon Trial.

The trial of Fulton Gordon has
been in progress at Louisville since
Tuesday. Col. James Andew Scott
of Frankfort, was retained by the
Browns to assist in getting at the
facts. A sensation was created when
Col. Scott claimed i'm a speech that
Arch Brown was the victim of a plot
and was foully assassinated by those
interested in getting him out of their
way, who used Gordon as their tool.
This, however, was not established in
the trial. The argument began yes

PLEASURES OF MINING.

There Is q Fascination In Digging Out the
Golden Orc.
An old miner of Cripple Creek, Col,
who for years has been engaged in
prospecting in the Rocky mountains,
while talking to party of friends the
other day, gave the following interest
ing description of gold mining in the
far west: Its the prettiest work
ever did," he said. "It's the fascination
of it; when you have struck it pretty
rich and see your gold right in front Of
you, when you are piling it up every
hour of the day, with q nugget now
and then us big as bullet to cheer
you. And then, when evening comes,
you count it up and you find it worth
hundreds of dollars, just picked up out
Of the earth in one day-well, l tell
you, there is nothing like it. Then,
when you don't strike it, you always
think you are going to the next day;
and it is just as exciting hearing other
men tell in the evening what they
pulled out during the day as in count
ing your own. Why, have gone for
months at o time without making q
dollar, and without a cent in my
pocket, but tho excitement of the work
don't give man time to realize how
hard up he is"

STRICT MEASURES.
Three Vessels Held at Quarantine
at San Francisco.
Will Avoid the Introduction of Cholera
If Possible-Reports from
the Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. H. - Three
vessels are at the quarantine sta
ton at Angel island. They are
Rio de Janeiro, the Honolulu packet
S. c. Allen and the British ship
Merioneth, from the port of Rio
de Janeiro. The government author
tiles on the island are hard
at work fumigating passengers, bag
gage, freight, ballast and vessels. The
utmost pains are being taken to pre-
vent the introduction of cholera from
Honolulu or the orient.
When the Rio de Janeiro left
Nagasaki the cholera was prevailing,
and In two weeks there had been
seventy-one cases and ffty-one
deaths. The steamer did not go to the
dock at Nagasaki, but everything
that she took on board was transferred
to her by boat. In similar manner
she took goods that had come by
steamer from Shanghai At Nagasali
it was stated that no whites had taken
the cholera.
AT Yokohama there was cholera,
but, according to the captain, it
was not in the city, but in
land. In two weeks there had
been forty-seven cases and thirty-f
deaths. The steamer took cargo at
Yokohama consisting of silks and
curios. No whites had suffered with
cholera at Yokohama.
On arrival at Honolulu every pre-
caution was taken. The steamer
anchored in the outer harbor and
did not have any communication
with the shore except by boat. AT
the time the cholera was increasing.
The statement signed by Ellis Mills,
the consul general, gives the
number of cases as tifty-eight and
the number of deaths us forty
four. The steamer did not use
water from Honolulu, even tor wash
ing the decks, while in the out
er harbor the Storage was fumi-
gated with sulphur. According to the
statement OF the City of Rio dc jan
EROS surgeon there was no case of
quarantinable disease on the vessel
from the time she left Hong Kong.
After listening to this statement,
and examining the papers offered in
substantiation, DIR. Chambers gave it
MS his opinion that as more than seven
days had elapsed since the
steamer left Honolulu, there wiss
no possibility of the cholera be-
ing carried after all the fumiga-
ton, and in spite of all the precautions
taken. He went to see the board
of health, but was overruled by
that body, which recommended the
holding of the steamer and her fumi-
cation at the island. The steamer
went to the Angel island quarantine
station, without even delivering her
mails

Tree Trunk. a. rnt.r. on ships.

A well-known Australian engineer,
NJ. Pfster, is stated to have discovered
q remarkable property of the trunks Of
trees, namely, that of retaining the
salt of sea-water that has filtered
through the trunk in the direction of
the fbers. He has consequently con-
structed an apparatus designed to util-
ize this property in obtaining potable
water for the use of ships crews. This
apparatus consists of pump, which
sucks up the sea water into u reservoir
and then forces 1t into filter formed
by the tree trunk. AS soon us the pres
sure reaches LIS to 2.5 atmosphercs the
water is seen at the end of from one to
three minutes, according to the kind of
wood used, to make its exit from the
other extremity of the trunk, at first in
drops and then in fine streams, the wa
ter thus filtered being potable, freed,
in fact, from every particle of the
usual saline taste which is such draw
back to water obtained in the ordinary
manner.

The Novel Exodus of tho Mormons from

The Novel Exodus of tho Mormons from
Missouri.
The most remarkable case Of house,
moving ever heard of was at Nauvoo,
Ill. When the Mormons were driven
out of Missouri by an armed force they
built the town of Nauvoo on the banks
of the Mississippi. Here they erected
their temple and constructed o thriv-
ing town. Then the Illinois people
arose, burned the temple, murdered the
prophet, Joseph Smith, and the entire
community fed to Utah. Ncnnonites
from Russia came along and bought
the land. They had no use for the
three hundred and fifty buildings in
the town. They wanted the land to
plant vineyards upon. They sold the
houses to a Missourian by the name of
Boyd for triHe.
1.-THE next winter he began to put
rollers under the houses, slid them
down the banks to the surface of the
frozen river, and then slid and rolled
and pushed them six miles up the river
and founded the town of Fort Madison,
Ia, all except about forty of the
houses which are to-day on the left
bank Of the river, opposite the site of
the extinct town of Nauvoo.:"

Blowers.
Those who take an interest in tax
iidernly will be glad to know how birds
eyes made.
A visitor to a small factory in New
York found two glassblowers at this
work. One held a bar of clear glass in
the flame of gas blow-pipc, and
worked q lump of fused glass around
the end of a wire and then pressed it
into mold. When he drew it out of
the mold, a crystal eyeball ornamented
the end Of the wire. This he passed to
his companion, who took thin bar of
yellow glass, and heating it, worked it
into the crystal ball, forming round,
glowing eye on the end of the wire.
AS the glass cooled the yellow iris
showed more plainly, and by the time
it was cold and hard, it appeared rs
good-sized owls eye, the pupil being
section of the wire on which the glass
was heated. While this was going on
the first man was busy molding an
other crystal eye. Later the men took
up the work of making dolls eyes.
One nodded the clear eyeball, the other
worked in the blue or brown iris, as the
style might be, precisely rs the owls
eyes had been made.
The superintendent of the shop said
that, while many dolls eyes were made,
the demand was mainly for eyes for
taxidermists' use-chiefy for stuffed
household pets. These were made Of
all sizes and shapes, to suit the varied
requirements of the taxidcrmist. The
largest eyes arc made for the moose,
the smallest for the trustees. Each va

STRANGE WHEELS.
Such Were the Bicycles of aye Olde
Tlne.V

Such Werc the Bicycles Of eye Olden
Time"
Archmologists will be interested to
know that the first record of bicycle
is that of n stained-glass window in the
church of Stoke Pogis, near Windsor,
in England. 1t was this churchyard,
blythe way, that inspired Gray to write
his ever-fanous elegy. The rider of the
cycle in the picture on the window,
writes John Gilmer Speed, in Lippin-
colts, which Is dated 1912, would be mis-
taken for Pan with his pipe were it
elsewhere than in Christian church,
where pagan deities aye not made at
home. But history is silent as to the
use of any such. vehicle at that ti1ne.
Ono hundred and twenty years or 80
later there was exhibited before the
French court n manumotive carriage OF
several hundred pounds weight; but
the bicycle can scarcely have grown
from that. It was much nearer our
own time that the first genuine bicycle
was invented. 1t was quite the fashion
to ride such vehicle in England
In 1910; the new invention was vnri-
ously called the "dandy horse" the
"hobby-horse," and the ''velocipede. ("
There are many illusions to it in the
records of the day, and in letter from
John Keats in February, 1919, to his
brother in America find this mention
OF it: The nothing of the day is ma
chine called the velocipede. It is q
wheel carriage to ride cock-horse upon,
sitting astride and pushing 1t along
with the toes, rudder wheel in hand.

wrote that epistle, he had been grant
ed vision Of tho modern bicycle, q
thing OF grace, swiftness, and outdoor
delight. Perhaps q really great poem
OF the wheel might have resulted. For
there is poetry as well US utility in it.,

bicycles move with it. 1t would be
dangerous In the light of the past to
say what the machine of the future
may evolve into, one can hardly believe
In an improvement proportionate to
that of the last fifty years, but anyway
1t furnishes another reason for wishing
to live hundred years or SO that one
might behold the wheel of 5000 A. D.

must be left to some John Keats of the
present to attempt a better prophecy

odd years back, whose gifts were not
of the kind to give him hint of the
great prospects of the ''velocipcde."
