HUNG IN MIDAlR.
The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi
 nese Thibet.


 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was iouneying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob bers, they. would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Engishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent, At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

HAD BEGUN TO PROSPER.
Pathetically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story ot a friend of his, Jack Negly, 8 Cnmber; land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy par of steers. and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying a dif- ferent farm. By my advice, he hao moved the year before into an entirely rcw field, dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When 1 did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighho-hood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out. to the fence 'Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you' colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long. "You must be doing well?'
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 ''I'm always glad to help, if l can." sI knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez am I'm
 
 a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face brightened perceptibly. ''No, ain't, colonel," he replied, hope fully; but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore.'
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

A Predicted Result of Cutting the lSthmus
 of Panama.
 "The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration. The sum of S9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1, 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost SIG, 1000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50, ,000,00 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'''

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when

earth is graded to form the crown as it
is done in a macadam road.
The earth foundation is Well rolled anu
then sub-pavement is laid on with the
long side of the stone set tranSverSely.
Between these stones stone chips are
packed firmly and then broken stone is
paced over the Improvement in two ayers,
the first layer being rolled and packed
before the second is laid on
This layer of broken stone forms the
intermediate course, for the surface is
made of stone broken in smaller pieces
and packed under a light roller. Sand is
swept over the surface and another roll
ing with a heavier roller completes the
pavement. The sand is moistemed and
the rolling is continued until the sand can
no longer be driven in between the broken
stone. Drains are laid, as they are for
maeadam roads, before the sub-paVement
is built.
A simple experiment, which can be
made with any wheel, will show why a
smooth hard-surfaced road makes haul
ing easy for horse. On such road the
roadway is tangent to the circumfer-
ence of the wheel. The wheel stands on
the immediate point of contact, and there
is no obstacle over which the wheel must
be lifted. On a sandy or loose, soft earth
road the wheel sinks into the roadway.
To draw the wheel forward the earth, be-
fore its track, must be displaced or passed
over, so that a horse in addition to the
force it must exert to draw the load,
must use extra force to overcome the OBJ
stacle in the path of the wheel.

AN ELECTRICAL SUBMARINE CABLE
WAY.
Mr.. HawIey of the Cataract Company
Suggests n Novel Device for De-
strOying Ships.


strOying Ships.
have in mind plan of river and har-
Dor defense which seems to me entirely
feasible. Place beneath the water two
wires, on the galloway plan, extending
from pit or fertilization on shore to an
anchorage well out. Along these cables
torpedoes could be electrically propelled
with great rapidity and absolute. certain
ty of course Any number of these lines
could be laid, centuring on the most stra-
tegic points. A constant succession of
explosions could thus be provided for
which would make ii utterly impossible
for anything to float above them or cross
the line defended. Above such a network
of wires a cruiser would toss as helpless
as a fly enmeshed in spiders web. The
harbor would be transformed into a boil
ing caldron and the precision of the bat
tleships fire be prevented. With thou
sand dangers upspringing from beneath
and the supporting cannonade of land
batteries, it seems to me that any naval
attack would be necessarily repulsed.
The signal corps could employ flash
lights for the interchange of communica-
ton. The withdrawal of troops at night
from the front of an opposing force could
be detected by search-lights. Surprises
would be rendered difficult Battlefields
could be illuminated, and by expediting
the work of relief parties save thousands
would come into extensive use Cavalry
raiders would have to outride electric
engines. Portable ranges would become
part of the equipment of armies. Rations
could be cooked on them, and they would
be of inesumable service in field hospi-
tails. Often camp fires are forbidden and
the men must endure the cold and dis
comfort of an uncheered bivouac Elec-
tricity could supply heat without fire
Heretofore forts and intrenchments
have been constructed with the pick and
spade. But the use of electricity on a
grand scale in our great public works and
corporate enterprises shows to what ad-
vantage it could be put in the erection of
fortifications. Live wires, heavily charged
and stretched outside of defensive posi-
tions, would be of greater service than
moat of abatis.
The storage battery will ultimately fur
nish motive power for the movement of
field batteries. When once it is success
fully adapted to this arm of the service
it will increase its utility. Now a bat
terry whose horses are shot is lost unless
strongly supported. But if electricity
were the propelling force it could not be
thus disabled.
War is daily growing more terrible. Per-
haps electric energies may make it so de-
structive as to render all appeals to arms
impolitic. The pure white light of this
supernal force may be the dawn of that
era of universal peace of which the CEN
turtles have dreamed.

SEVENTY PIEGANs JUST ALIKE.
They Marched Into the Cave One at a
Time and the Crees Thought the
Devil Was With Them.

From the Buffalo Express.
"a member of the Canadian mounted po-
lice, Lieut.. McDonough, told me- said
Capt Particle at the Officers Club, 1.-THE
following incident of band of Crees and
a solitary Piegan Indian, which is novel
and interesting. 1t occurred about 100
miles from Fort Walsh A band of Cree
Indians woke up one snowy morning to
find that about one dozen of their choic-
est ponies had been run off during the
night Pursuit was soon organized, and
within a few hours fresh trail was
found in the snow. After following the
trail some thirty miles it entered a river
bottom and headed for a wooded island
in the middle of the river.
Smoke was seen rising from the trees,
and an opening, which seemed to be the
mouth of a cave, appeared in plain view.
Presently a single Indian, a Piegan, show
ed up in front of the opening. He was
in war paint, and there was a dog at his
heels. Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees and began growing and barking.
The Piegan looked up, glanced moment
about him, and then instantly entered the
cave. In about ten seconds another Pie
gan came around the rocks and also went
in; then another and another and another
there being but a few seconds between
them. The Crees lay silently in the
bushes watching and counting, until up
ward of fifty Piegans had come around
the rocks and gone into the cave, and still
they kept coming What seemed remark
able was the fact that all these Indians
were, to all appearances, exactly the
same size were dressed and painted
alike, each carried a Winchester rifle,
and, most remarkable of all, each one
seemed a little lame in the left foot,
limping slightly.
'srhey were a gaudy crowd, and the
Crees counted seventy of them. The su-
perstitious Crees naturally concluded that
