ONE of the brightest aud most inter
esting articles We rememb Der to have
seen in some time appears in Sports and
Field for this month, written by Mr..
Chas. a. Leckenby ION the fauna and
fora of Arizona. One who has never
visited Arizona can get quite socu-
rate idea OF the "deseFt" portion OF the
Territory from this excellent article,
which by the way is printed by one of
the live monthlies of the east, the best
one in its line and yet it is not technical
but popular and abounds in good sub
stsntiel matter on such subjects as
"Arizone-A Land OF Contrasts" )" "The
Birds of the Bermuda Islands," "Trsits
of the Humming Bird" ga California

etc., which indicates the scope OF this
excellent magazine.

All these plans are to be reported to

commission is the best way to get it.

SOLE KAINTUoK" Democracy seems to
be badly shaken mp just now. The
Courier Journal, Watterson's paper,
and typical Democratic exponent of
that portion of the country, thinks any
Repu blican can now curry Kentucky
Speaking of the recent actions OF the
Democracy of that state, il says:
"They have repudisted the only Pres
ident the Democratic party has elected
and seated for over fftys years. They
have repudlRted the most distinguished
of Ksntucky's living sons and the great
est Democratic intellect in the United
States. They have spit upon the
fathers of the party, whose name and
organization they claim have proclaimed
Jefferson an ignoFsmus, Jackson q CON-
spiritor, Benton a knsve, Cleveland q
traitor. For the faith banded down
through hundred years of glorious
party history, they have substituted q
fad, rejected by every intelljgent civili-
zsslop on the globe, and for the expo
nents of that faith they have substituted
such apostles of Populiem as Stewart,
such exhorters of socialism as Tillmsn,
such evspgels of snarchism as Aitgeld.
Saturdays vote makes Kentucky Re-
publican for years. Before Saturday
BrsdIeyism was dead. But Saturday
made is possible for sny Repu blican to
carry Kentucky over q party which
binds itself to the corpse of free silver
ism. The one thing now for Kentucky
Democracy is that the Chicago conven-
tion shall not ratify it's stupendous
bIunder, and that chance seems all too
remote"
1t is to be hoped that the conscience
of the Arizona Democracy as met in
convention here today will read the
above from their great exponent and
wonder where it is sat-

The Conquering Britisher.

Every year there are carried away from
the shores of Great B41ttiA 80 many hundred
thousand of oar young men. They are the
restless class; most of them have proved
themselves totally unable to accept the con-
diiions Of modern life; they hate the desk !;
they hate books; they cannot pass examine
tions. For these young pen, who In other
respects are often the very flower of the flock,
there are places where they can live without
books. Formerly there were openings for
them in the United States, in Australia, in
New Zealand. Those openings seem to be
closed; the stream of emigration turns in
other directions. There is now, for instance,
South Africa. Now, jastexactly what Eng
land was formerly to the Angle OF the Jute
in the German court, so is such a new
country as South Africa to his descendant
of the present day-the land of enterprise,
the land of wealth, the land of fighting, the
land of possibilities. There are other places.
British Columbia is not yet filled up. Con-
ada, Western Australia, Tasmania could sup
port tenfold present population. That is
not, however, the question. l want TO point
out the continuity Of history. Things re-
peat themselves because we are the descend
ants Of our ancestors. The Tristan came
over and settled in England 500 years ago
he made the place his own; he imposed his
laws, his customs, his religion, and told the
Britons 10 become absorbed or to disappear.
1t is discovered that our young brother does
just exactly the same thing. He is in
America; he is in Australia; he must move
on; he must make for himself new nest
he must fight for it if necessary. And when
he has settled, he must rule he will tolerate
no master.

TIE LIGHT OF LIFE,
How it is Preserved by Modern
Science.
A Discovery that is Driving Disease Out of
the World.

The world is startled almost every day by
wonderful inventions all directed to the single
purpose of saving powcs aud force. The latest
electrical wonder is a lamp which saves II per
cent. Of the electricity which it uses and turns
it into light. An ordinary gasburner only
gives one per cent. of light from all the gas 1t
uses up; the other 80 per cent is wasted and
lost.
An incandescent lamp only gives three per
cent. of light from the electricity used 81 per
cent. is lost. Where does it 90 TO? Nobody
knows. 1t disappears somewhere along the
wire, with nothing TO show for it.
If science could find way to save only half
Of this wasted power that would solve the
problem of lighting tho civilized world Nearly
all the problems of life would be solved if we
knew how TO save the energy and force that is
wasted.
The great problem of health would be solved
If we know how to save all the forceful, nutri-
:ive elements contained IN the food We eat and
turn them into life power and vitality. If we
could always DO this there would never be any
more sickn

Why Beers Fight Well.
IHarper's Found Tabie.l

Having many chances at success proves
often a disadvantage. Gen. w. +. MOlyneux,
fighter in the Transvaal, tells in Cam
paigning in South Africa and Egypt" about
going 10 the house of Boer, upon the lat
ter's invitation to become his guest on deer
hunt The General arrived on horseback,
accompanied by one servant. Dsmounting,
he carried into the house bag containing
what would measure peck or SO of common
cartridges. The Boer looked at the bag III
astonishment, and exclaimed:
"You Englishmen must be very rich.
Cartridges cost sixpence each here"
Rather mystiied, and declaring that there
are poor Englishmen, Gen. Molyneux asked,
Where are your cartridges?"
I'm this" replied the Boer, tapping his
donhle-barrel.
"Then you don't intend to do much shoot
ing?"
"Well, two spring-buck are as much as l
can carry"
Suppose you miss?"
Nobody misses when q cartridge costs
sixpence."
The sequel was that the B0er got his two
deer, one for each cartridge, while the Gen
eral fired five shots and got one.

ARMY AND NAVY.

One of tho mos. remark able tests ever made
at Indian Head was conducted last week by
Naval experts The result will lie TO abandon
hydraulic power in handling the heaviest ord
nance, and the substitution of spring return
carriage system. Hydraulic power is now en-
ployed in depressing, loading, eleyatipg, and
placing great guns in battery. and the system,
while the best yet found, is far from perfect,
and is open to many accidents generally oil
serious character. Five shots fired from IL
inch gun-propelling pfojectile, with fnii-serV-
ice charges, established beyond donbt the value
of the invention, and makes 1t certain that
hereafter it will be applied to all ordnance
placed on new war-vessels Through its appi-
cation one man will control the largest rifles,
aud load and fire them with facility aud dis
patch where full guns crew was necessary
under old conditions. Great saving will he
secured in weights of gun-carriages and cost in
producing them, and altogether the results OF
the experiments are considered by the experts
as highly important

The American girl is growing to be quite an
expert with the banjo. and it is said that Mrs
Cleveland heads the list of players on that jolly
instrument. Furthermore. we are told that the
banjo az musical instrument has been very
much moderated, that it has soul capable Of
interpreting Chopin. Beethoven, and many othe1
OF cur loved composers. That seems doubtful,
however; the banjo seems to one who is not .
high-priestess of the art, and who, therefore,
has no earthly right to an opinion,-but never
theless, the banjo seems best suited to melodies
and simple Ginning accompaniment, with an
occasional rollicking dance. However, if Chopin
can be played on it, so much the better.

the cucumbers in salt and water for an hour or
so before they served on the table. The

Another point is not to use the seedless ends,
and that cucumbers should be sliced as thin as
possible.
