BILE him to float down easily and grace
fully, in a slanting direction, until he
alights low down on the trunk Of a tree
perhaps fifty or even one hundred feet
distant. Then he Chambers nimbly up
to its top, chooses his direction, and
launches forth again, quite possibly to
the same tree from which he started.
His flight is simply sailing downward
at an angle Of about forty-five degrees,
with a graceful sweep upward at the
last, to enable him to alight easily.

Tribe OF Wild Men Found.

Four curious specimens of humanity
have been confined in Norridgewock
Jail, accused Of sheep stealing, writes
the Augusta, Me-, correspondent of
the New York Recorder. They were
arrested in Brighton. They belong To
gang of about forty persons who
have no homes, but who have lived I'M
til recently near the Canadian lire
like wild beasts in the summer and in
little or no clothing. and their backs,
which have been long exposed to the
sun and weather, are covered with a
growth OF hair fully three inches long.
1t is hard to make sense out Of their
conversation, although they have
learned to swear so that they are un-
derstood.
One Of the men, a giant in form, is
an idiot. His sides are full Of small
holes, made by brad in the end Of a
stick, when he has been yoked to an OK.

the invention Of war engines and new
explosives as to make the war In the
future more terrible than it has ever
been before. 1t is curious to consider,
In light of these facts, the quaint and
rude machines Which have been en-
ployed for military purposes in the
past. War as waged by the Romans
was something very different and very
much more interesting as trial Of
skill than it is nowadays, and it must
have been very much more exciting.
There was chance for life and a
chance for the display of personal
prowess which the soldier Of this era
scarcely knows.
1t was at the sieges Of towns that the
greatest military skill was displayed by
the ancient warrior. The town was sur
rounded by a lofty wall, which, in turn.
was rendered doubly secure by deep
trench. So long as the wall could be
kept intact, or rather so long as the
enemy could be kept out of the city,
the besieged felt safe. In consequence
the siege was really a series of attacks
by the enemy and of defensive war
fare on the part Of those in the town.

ABSOLUTEEY PURE


A New Jerseyman told me good
story the other day on one of our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that OF
any other connected with the racing
In America, says writer In the New
York Press. A good many years ago
this turfman, who was not then deep
IN the racing business, arrived In Jer-
sey City with q trainload Of mustangs
from the plains Of Texas. He knew
nothing of the laws Of the State, nor OF
the ordinances of the city. He knew
that he wanted to sell his mustangs,
and thought the best way to do 1t was
to sell them at auction. Being some
what gifted In speech, he determined
that he would be his own auctioneer.
The sale started out well. Fair prices
were realized. Suddenly it was inter
rupted by policemen, who demanded
view Of our friends license.
"LicenseT' he said amazed. "What
license? haven't any license Of any
kind"
"Well, you can't sell horses in this
city without license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
OF course ne went along, but he was
lucky enough to find friend at court
Ia lawyer) who went bail for him in
the sum Of $50. Then the lawyer said
"a license costs $3.50. You are un-
der bonds. Go ahead and finish your
sale, collect your money, and skip out.
Give me $50 to settle the forfeited
bond, and you are $500 ahead of the
game"
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the st.
James Hotel lately and laughed over
the joke.

How Esquimaux Count,

The Esquimaux count their fingers
one, two, three, four, five. Above five
and up to ten they use the second hand |;
thus, six Is "the first finger of the
other hand" Above ten, they employ
the toes. Thirteen, for instance, il
"three toes upon the one foot" and
eighteen "three toes on the second
foot" Twenty they describe as a
whole man." They seldom go farther
than this, but they can do so If neces-
sary. For example, they express twen-
ty-two by saying, "two on the second
man." thirty seven by 'two toes on the
second mans FOOT" forty is ''the whole
of a second man." According to DR..
Nansen they cannot, or Mt least do not,
count beyond 100, which is 'the whole
Of the fifth man."

II Refused TO Be Comforted.

Mr.. Henry Irving, the well-known
actor, once took fancy to n beauti-
full collie dog belonging to a Highland
shepherd. The man was very unwill-
ing to part with his dog, but the sum
offered for it-$300-was little for
tune in his own eyes, and he resolved
10 sell it. There are two to the making
of bargain, however, as the saying Is,
and when the collie reached London 1t
refused to be comforted. In fact, 1t
was so unhappy in its new life, and
its misery caused Mr.. Irving to feel so
uncomfortable that he determined to
restore it to its old master. Imagine
the dogs joy, and the shepherds too,
when the creature returned to its High
land home. One is reminded of the love
OF the Arab for his steed in reading of
this pretty story.

Too Old TO Work at Ninety-six.

A delightful story Of poor-law admin
istration comes to me from Thirsk. AT
Carlton Husthwaite, small village
in that neighborhood, lives veteran
Of 90, who was at the battle Of Water
loo. For some considerable time he has
been on the union books as recipient
Of outdoor relief. But recently a great
doubt arose in the minds of the guar
dams, why the old man did not earn
his own livelihood. So the expense
was incurred of sending a medical off,
Ger some miles to examine the mono
genarian, and report whether he was
fit for work or not. 1t is needless to
say that he was not. The doctor might
indeed have been more usefully EN-
ployed in inquiring into the state OF
mind of the BUNDLES who sent him on
such an errand.-London Truth.

Peculiar
Ammonia and Nitrous Acid.

A French chemist claims to have
proved that, on burning in air equal
volumes of coal gas and of hydrogen,
the same weights OF nitrogen are con-
yerted Into ammonia, and that, on
burning equal volumes of coal gas ana
of hydrogen, the nitrogen transformed
into nitrous acid will always have APP
proximately the same weight; but OH
burning carbon monoxide, nearly two
and one-half times more nitrogen Is
found IN the state of nitrous ACID thah
In the former case In the burning or
one kilogram of each of these gases, ii
Is stated that the most nitrogen In the
state Of ammonia, and in the state OF
nitrous and nitric acids, Is found In the
combustion of hydrogen, only one
fourth Of the quantity being found In
the case of coal gas, and about one
twentieth in burning carbon monoxide.
On burning wood charcoal In air,
whether merely dried or heated to red
ness, the quantity of nitrogen contain
ed in the nitrous and nitric acid collect
ed is said to be almost equal to that of
the product, and there is not much diff
ference in the result Of burning an
equal amount of coke. 1t is remarked
that the formation of ammonia during
the combustion of coke or charcoal l.
merely result of the decomposition
Of these substances, and thus the
weight Of the ammonia formed varies
according to the degree of heat.
