Astonished Mules.

The other day at Lacon, I'LL, six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings of the
Spailand coal Shaft were brought up.
The mules in all that time had seen no
light stronger than the flicker of the
little Davy lamps the miners carried.
The sun was in it's zenith when they
reached the surface. The nstonished
mules closed their eyes to shut out the
flood of strong light, and kept them
tightly closed while they were led to
the pasture lot mile distant and
turned loose. There they stood trcm-
bling as if they were afraid something
evil was about to bcfall them. Pres
emily they half opened their eyes and
pecred around III open-mouthed amaze
meat. When they had become accus-
toned to the sunlight they elevated
their heads. Toward shutdown they
broke into a chorus of joyous brays.
After Il quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like tcctotums, and
rolling on the sod as if they had gone
mad. The sun and pure air were more
To them than food, and they refused
everything nut before them to cat.

cYcLoNIc POWER.
1t Makes the Mighricst Efforts or Man
Appear insignificant.

Appear insignificant.
Careful estimates OF the force of n
cyclone, and the energy required to
keep full-fledged hurricane in active
operation, reveal the presence of n
power that makes the mightiest efforts
of man appear as nothing in compare
son. force fully equal to four hundred
and sevGnty-three million horsepower
was estimated Us developed in a West
Indian cyclone. This, saws tho New
York Ledger, is about thirteen times
the power that is creatable by all the
means within the range of mans en-
paDilittes during the same time.
Steam, water, windmills and strength
OF all men and all animals combined
cannot approach the tremendous force
eXerted by the storm. The scientist
tells US that the force comes from the
latent heat OF vapor which rises in tho
center of the hurricane and is there
condensed. The fury of the whirlwind
literally wrings the rain from tho
Clouds There is always much great
or area covered by the wind than that
embraced by the rainfall that usually
accompanies the cyclone Persons
with vivid imaginaions are fond of
conjecturing and specializing on invcn-
tions by which rninfalls are produced
ut the pleasure of the rainmalkcrs, but
moments consideration will show
how puny are the efforts of man, and
how unavailinG when it is taken into
consideration that all the existing
power on the face of the earth ut pres
cnt within mans control would not be
sufficient to produce even baby cy-
clone, to say nothing of the full-fedged
ana mighty devastations that some
tunes sweep over the country. Science
may cause few drops of moisture to
condense and fall, but can never, un-
der existing conditions, make q hurri-
cane.

The general led the way out into the
main street. 1t was built up solid

blocks. The sidewalks were crowded
with people moving briskly. Several
street cars and omnibuscs passed, we'll

The officers of the one-time CT. C. l..

without speaking.
AT length the major turning to the

The general groaned. but did not
speak.

colonel. IF we had only believed u

Something That Science Has Thus Far

Well might McPherson's ancient and
half mythical Gaelic poet, speaking,
eighteen hundred years ago, from the

FORD Times Nor has Ossian's early
question ever yet been answered.:
Whence are thy beams, o Sun! thy
everlasting light?r Modern science has
wrought damaging discussions about
the reality of alleged miracles" and
done much to establish the universal
reign of inviolable law; but of all mira
cles, what greater one is there than the
calm persistence, through SO many mil
lions of years, of this unfail ing fount
of light and warmth? We no longer
deny or question the doctrine of Kant
and La Place concerning the origin of
our family of planets-for science adj
mits the truth of the conclusion, that
one after another, but at vast ages
apart, they were thrown off from the
sun-once nebulous object filling all
the space to the farthest verge of Nep-
tunes orbit land perhaps farther, and
then slowly cOndensing body, from
which the planet Mercury, or possibly
still nearer one to. the sun, was the
last to be thrown off, each and all
obeying the oInnipotent magnetic law
that compels every planet to circle
around the parent orb-the controlling
center ever keeping, like an earthly
parent, his youngest child nearest to
him. But science has not yet told us
how the central magnet perpe tuates it's

Sometime perhaps the advance of
science will give US some knowledge of

STEAM POWER AT LONG RANGE.
An Instance In Which It was Conducted
Forty-Five Hundred Feet

An Instance In Which IL Was Conducted
Forty-Five Hundred Feet.
The practicability of transmitting a
long distance given amount of steam
is illustrated in an account recently
given by Mr.. Coke before the Society
of Mechanical Engineers. 1t seems,
says the New York Sun, that at col
liery it was desired to carry steam to
water works about forty-fivc hundred
feet over hill from the boiler plant
To do this a trough was made by
mailing the edges of two boards to-
gethcr, SO that they formed right
angle, the trough being supported by
two stakes driven in the ground and
crossing just beneath the trough; the
pipe was laid in the trough, resting on
cast-iron plates, the pipe surrounded
by mineral wool, and similar in
verified trough placed at the top.
To allow expansion bend was made
to one side 1T the top of the
hill, and then it was turned back to
its original direction; large receiver
was introduced in the pipe at the pumps,
made of three boiler sheets, and having
diameter of thirty-four inches, and
serving also rs separator. AS the cle-
walton was some eighteen hundred
feet above the sea excessive cold
was experienced in the winter time,
the arrangements, however, fulfilling
the desired purpose, costing nothing
for maintenance and giving no trouble.

Nor woke OF his mothers side.

And we dream. rs VIC work with q laQyfny

This world has too much grief and pain,
Too many tears by half;
And so my blessing do give
To those who make me laugh.
Then let the croakers pass along;
Their talk Is but as chnff
While strength is in the playful words
That stir the lightsome laugh.
True, serious moods must have their place.
For work is life's great stan:
But they toll best who now and then
Send forth the merry laugh
And so, since shadows form OF iife
BY far the larger half
Our fervent blessings let us give
