III.

The courtyard of the castle was
thronged with soldiery as Crittenden
and his unfortunate band were marched
to the death~piace just as day was
breaking over the beautiful bay. Sur
rounded by hostile soldiers, they still
maintained defiant air, even when the
glittering line of bayonets faced them,
and they knew all hope was over.
"Kneel, tilibusteros!"
The command was not obeyed. Crit
tenden proudly refused, in the words
that have passed into history:
"A kentuckian kneels to none but
God!"
A struggle ensued, in which some
were forced to their knees; perhaps all
might have been, had not the officer in
charge, with touch of humanity, be-
gun giving the orders.

volley that few survived it, and they
but u few moments. Roberto, happily,
had no need to simulate death. The

sight of relief as he perceived Roberto's
rigid Inconsistencies.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Many perfumes are believed to be
antiseptic in their qualities, and some
physicians entertain the opinion that a
more liberal use of them in the Sick
room would be beneficial.
There are in Ohio about 1850 oil
wells, of which more than 1000 were
bored in 1894. The Kirkridge yields 3ls
barrels per hour, or 7,74o per day. An
other yields 200 barrels per day.
Sheep breeding in Patagonia is

Nineteen hundred salmon were
taken at one haul of a seine by fisher

salmon in one haul, and another took

observations and calculations have
led Mr.. A. Mallack to conclude that in
sects do not see well, especially at dis
lance. Their composite eye, however,
has an advantage over the simple eye
in the fact that there is hardly any prac-
teal limit in the nearness of objects it
can examine. The best insect eye ex-

Astronomers are not agreed that
ali the surface markings on the moon
can be explained by volcanic action,
says Popular Astronomy. Those who be-
lieve that the volcanic theory accounts
for the so-called crater formations with

such an explanation for the origin of
the wall or rampant plains. They
confess that the origin of these features
and some ohers is beyond their eX-
PLANTATION.
Glass of different colors have been
tried on growing plants by NJ. Zach
arcwiez, professor of agriculture at
Vancluse, who finds that the finest and
earliest fruit is grown under clear glass.
Orange glass produces an increase of
vegetation, but the amount, size and
earliness of the fruit suffer. Under vio-
let glass the amount of fruit increases,
but its quality deteriorates. Red, blue
or green glass is injurious to all forms
of vegetation.

Roberto lay on "a pallet beside two

fortify the boy, exhorting him to meet

GOLD-BOTTOMED LAKE.
Story of q Remarkable Discovery of Wealth
In Alaska.

A recent discovery of loose wealth Is
given as told by miners on their return
from Alaska. Hans Christian Pande,
an old sea captain and IL former resident
of Tacoma, is the man who believes he
has found treasure. He, with seven
others, had taken up 158 acres about
is miles from Sitka, and it is called
"Pandes basin placer claim" Within
the limits of a claim is n lake 1000
yards long, 400 yards wide and $50 feet
deep. The lake is fed by water from
glacier above, and its outlet is only two
feet deep, little stream that hurries
at lightning speed down the canyon be-
low. The action of the glacier, which
has been going on for centuries, prob
ably, has brought down from the noun
tains above large quantities of flour
gold, and this has all of necessity been
held within the boundaries of the little
body of water. The action of the
glacier, the deepness of the lake and the
shallowness of the outlet is the com
bination which, Mr.. Pande thinks, has
covered the bottom of the lake with
millions of dollars in -four gold. As
says of sand from the shores of the
lake made by J. A. Becker, an assayer
at Sitlla, show that it will produce the
most unbelievable result of eight dol
lars and ten dollars cubic yard. The
statement that half cent cubic yard
will allow man to make 900 year
will illustrate the size of MIR. Pande's
find.
Mr.. Pande's golden Mecca is reached
only by the greatest hardship ami dan
ger, and he and two companions, he
claims, are the only persons who have
ever come back alive from the little
lake. 1t is impossible to reach the place
in winter, and Mr.. Pande and his COM
panions will not make another attempt
to visit their lake until spring.

PRACTlCED ON CORPSES.
Invention of Humane Physician ~ .
Substitute for u PoItceman's Club.

DR.. Abiel W. Nelson, a practicing sur
geon of New London, has invented a
humane police club, which he claims
may be used in subduing obstreperous
citizens without intiicting permanent
injuries on them. 1t consists of rub
Der envelope over il wooden core--a club
with a soft rind, Stimulating the bark OF
of a fist. 1t is simply an elongated
arm, and gives the policeman the adj
vantage over the man without the ne
cessky of disfguring him for life or
causing other permanent injury. After
securing the proper patents and before
the club was used the doctor feared
fracture OF the skull at the base might
result from blow on the top of the
hcad-that is, the fracture might be
transmitted to the base of the skull in
stead of at the place of contact. DR..
Nelson could not get any dead bodies
in the vicinity to experiment on, so he
got permission to use subjects at the
morgue in New York.
He tried skulls by hitting them on
the forehead and top of the head, strik-
ing with more than ordinary police
mans force, but did not lacerate the
scalp, and there was no fracture at the
place of contact or base of the skull
The heads were opened, and there was
no apparent injury of the brain itself
The tests were made in the presence of
three reputable physicians. DR.. Mel
son wanted to see the actual effect on
the living brain, so he selected calves as
his subjects. His first subject was an
active, fierce calf, weighing 200 pounds.
Il was knocked down and out, but got
up in few seconds, somewhat dazed
but soon recovered muscular power and
was then killed. There were blood
stains under the skin of the scalp and
limited bloodstains in the inner mem
brane over the front lobes of the brain.
There was no injury to the brain itself.
Everything indicated that the calf
would have fully recovered.-Hartford

A ROYAL BAZAAR.
Ladies of High Decree Wait Upon the
Purchasers.

We pressed on, and the desire OF our
hearts for ten days past was realized.
We began to buy things of royalty The
bazaar was given for the benefit of Prin-
cess Beatricc's Isle of Wight volunteers.
So of course it was about her booth,
decorated in green and black-the col
ors of her regimcnt-thatt the crowd
pressed in eagerness to gaze or to buy.
As the members of the royal family
were not tagged" it was difficult to
know who was who, and, to our sur
prise, the gentry that were near us did
not know by sight their own royal fam
lily. But we quietly persisted, and found
the lady in blue and b!ack-and a
handsome gown it was, of black silk
much covered with raised passemen-
terie, and with blue silk sleeves-was
Princess Beatrice. She was neither too
fat nor too red, as the English women
said she was. Her features are good,
her teeth perfect, her face interesting
and animated, and she carries herself
beautifully. One of us four, of the
stars and stripes" in her eagerness
to own a souvenir from royal hands,
forgot to listen to the manner in which
the English addressed these exalted
personages, and asked, in perfectly
dignitied, but wholly American way:
will you please tell me the price of this
vasc?" Princess Victoria, of Schles-
wig Holstein, turned away to hide her
smile, but Immediately returned to
business and gave the price. When
it was paid for she called in all the
four royalties near to make change,
did the article up in a roTal 'wapse"
of paper, and handed it to us with a
smile and much less condesCension
than is vouchsafed us from many of
those duchesses that are hired to stand
behind our counters at home. This
princess was not pretty, but her gown
and hat were. The latter was white
straw, and her dress was blue silk fine
ly striped with white, the body covered
with real lace. There was such u
dainty, pretty Observation-Disclosures

but her face and figure we're young.

German Blood In Europe.s Princes.

Europe may be said to be ruled en-
tirely by Germans, since the heads of
reigning houses are, for the most part,
of German origin. The British royal
house is of pure German descent. The
Austrian emperor is German, and SO
are the Spanish princes. The king of
Denmark is Il German. The king of
Sweden is of French ancestry (the
founder of the present line was Berna-
dotte), but his recent ancestors have
been Germans. In fact, the French
royal lines, the Portuguese and the
Italians are the only non-Germans
among the royal houses of Europe.
Even the kings and princes of the for
mer Turkish provinces-Servia, Bull
garia, Greece and RopraniR-arc Ger
