The wounded Antslons.

"The stricken deer fees from the herd. !"
The term is supposed to be poetical and
may be so, but does any one know why the
deer runs awayp
A good many years ago, when Denver
was huddle of shanties, and the overland
stage was in its glory, the writer of these
lines was crossing what was then repre-
sented on the school maps as "The Great
American Desert" 1t was very early In
the morning and light, though the sun had
not yet risen, when the wagons started.
Soon the leader stopped In silence, and ev-
cry one saw on an eminenoe or troll, a
splendid antelope standing and looking at
the wagons as though surprised. Not a
silence was broken by the sharp crack of a
rifle. The antelope fell, but only for an
instant, and then bounded away. Arrived
at the place where he fell, little blood
was noticed, and rising the troll" the
"stricken deer" was seen making his way
not from, but to the herd, some 400 In
number. Then was seen rather curious
sight in the early light. Catching sight OF
the wagon, the whole herd moved away a
b smart pfce, but not at a panic gait. The
wounded animal had reached the herd,
but rs not wanted, for two or three bucks
made for him, and SO long as we watched
them they chased and horned the poor an
imal until presumably he fell dead--a feast
for the coyotes. For some reason peculiar
TO antelopes they wanted no "strjcker
deer" about and wouldn't have one.--

Their Convention In Session at Pittsburg.
Important Matters Coming Up.
PITrsBURa, July o. The Window
Glassworkers' convention is in session
in Turner hall, South Side. A strong
movement is on foot TO charge the head
quarters from Pittsburg to some point
in the west, and it will likely be sue
cessful.
One delegate is prepared to object to
the action Of the assembly in advancing
$50, 600 to the Chambers Glass company.
and also to buying $4,000 worth OF
stock in the Charters Gas company.
The latter stock, they claim, is worth
less.
An important change, If it can be got
through, will be to put the wages OF
the cutters on the same footing as the
other workers. The blowers, gatherers
and flatteners' wages are based on the
quality OF glass produced, while the
cutter IS paid by the box.
There is no question that there will
be an advance in wages demanded.
Some of the delegates will insist on q
complete restoration Of the straight cut
of 2216 per cent in wages, but it is
believed the more conservative of the
delegates will win and the demand will
be something less than that figure.
Another new feature that may be in.
corporated in the new wage scale will
be the establishing Of 10 per cent diff.
ferential between coal and gas fur.

HOME FROM THE HILL.
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
-R. L. 9.
Let the weary body lie
Where he chose its grave,
Meath the wide and starry sky,
BY the southern wave,
While tie island holds her trust
And the hill keeps faith,
Through the watches that divide
The long night Of death.
But the spirit, free from thrall,
Now goes forth Of these
To its birthright and inherits
other lands and seas.
We shall find him when we seek him
In an older home
BY the hills and streams Of childhood
'Tis his weird TO roam.
In the fields and woods we hear him
Laugh and sing and sigh,
Or where by the northern breakers
Sea birds troop and cry,
Or where over lonely moorlands
Winter winds fly feet,
Or by sunny graves he hearkens
Voices low and sweet.
We have lost him, we have found him.
Mother, he was fain
Nimbly TO retrace his footsteps;
Take his life again
To the breast that first had warmed 1t
To the tried and true
He has come, our well beloved,
Scotland, back to you

Cease Altogether In Polar Lat
itudes.

IVY
Prof. Klossovsky, of the University
of Odessa, having made a special
study of thunder storms, has publish
ed a chart showing the distribution Of
such storms over the known surface
of the globe. 1t was already known
that thunder storms are are III high
attitudes, and unknown above - de-
grees north. The electrical activity of
the earth ear the poles seems TO vent
I'm aurora borealis. In Europe the fire.
uuency of thunder storms increases as
the observer moves southwark, and
there is n somewhat irregular line of
greatest frequency encircling the globe
near the equator. The number les
sens as m moves southwark from the
equator, but not so rapidly as in NOV
ing northward from that line, and the
region of strong auroTal activity Is
much narrower in the southern hemis-
phere than in the northern. The fire.
quency of tempests decreases rapidly
In going north or south ron the equa-
tor In the interior of the continents.
There is a line of demarcatiCn between
the region of frequent and the region
Or rare tempeStS extending from the
southwest TO the northeast. In the
desert of Africa and over Persia and
the great area of Central Asia thunder
storms are i~nfrequent, the total num-
Der given locally not exceeding five or
six annually. There is a zone with a
les of five 70 ten tempeSts annually
~anveloping the northern part Of Euro
pean Russia, the southern part of the
Scandinavian peninsula and Great
Britain, while at the extreme north
west of the Scandinavian peninsula
and in Siberia the mean descendS to
one, and eve none
In the American continent the num-
Der of tempeStS increases regularly in
approaching the equator, though here,
as in Europe and Asia, there are
marked irregularities in certain re-
gions. Africa, save at points on the
coast, is peculiarly free from tempests.
The maximum is reached in the Blight
If Benin. At Lima, Peru, lightning is
never seen. Here, however, earth
luakes are of almost daily occurrence,
and there seem to be q law that in
countries subject to earthquakes thun-
Ter storms are rare, or, perhaps, more
accurately, where thunder storms are
unknown earthquakes are frequent.
At Leon and Guanajuato. Mexico,
however, there are from 40 to $50
thunder storms in the year.
Prof. KlOssovsky finds that the fire.
quency of thunder storms in a given
region depends somewhat upon the
conductivity of the soil. Where the
| soil is a good conductor the electrical
activity Is easily distributed without
violence. Limestone regions are sub
iect to thunder storms because the
| soil is not a good conductor of electric
ty. He notes, also, that in the old
world, in latitude 81 degrees to GA de-
yrees north, thunder storms are more
frequent than in the same latitude &
he new world. At the same time TIA,
| 'egion of auroral activity is broader in
The new world than in the old.-New

Boston, Mass, Aug. 2T.-Local CON-
manderies of Knights Templar have
been on the alert all day looking after
the welfare and comfort of their fell
low Knights who have been coming in
at intervals, some of them after long
and tedious journeys from the South
and West. The rtains, with one eX-
ception, were from one TO tire hours
late, but when the belated Knights
arrived their welcome was such that
any discomforts they had encoun-
tered were more than atoned for. The
vast crowd of spectators who cheered
each arriving delegation numbered far
into the thousands. and the strains of
music from the bands Of the escort
ing communicates enlivened the te-
dious waits. The chief arrival was
that Of Grand Master Hugh McCurdy,
who, with 1876 knights and ladies from
Detroit c~ommandery of Detroit, Mich.
reached here shortly after 10 O'clock.
This afternoon a train OF II cars
containing Iowa delegates to the num-
Der of 300 Knights and ladies were
warmly welcomed. The delegation
that has excited the most curiosity of
the citizens here was the Golden Gate
Oh san IFdDclSCO, which arrived TINS
afternoon. They We're received with
open arms by IN immense throng, and
were escorted through the streets by
the Boston commandery. At the head
of this parade was a four-months-old
Cinnamon bear, which caused much
amusement among the spectators. His
bearship, however, got tired before
the end of the route, and had TO drop
out. He will be in condition for the
parade, however.
This afternoon n special Knights
Templar service was held in Trinity
church, and that edifice was crc-~Sad
by the Knights and their ladies. The
sermon was by Grand prelate Joseph
M. McGrath. He chose for his text
Matthew Y, 40, and whatsoever shall

mes n cup of cold water only in the
name of a disciple. verify / say unto
you, he shall in no wise lose his re-
ward" After the service the Knights,
headed by Grand Master McCurdy,
Grand Commander Lawrence, and the
other dignitaries of the grand encamp-
ment returned in parade form to the
Nendome hotel. Tomorrow will! be
the busy day for arrivals. Over 1913
delegations are scheduled to reach
this city.

Divorce in Turkey is obtained with

can the Turk open the door of his

the woman who no longer pleaSes

dover and personal effects. In the

formalities are gone through, and, in
