This is what the venaI press OF Chi
cago called lighting the battle of sound

And it was this venal press, the echoes
of whose utterances appeared in the
whole British press of the country, that
denounced the 900 free coinage dele
gates, embracing the ablest minds and
the most patriotic statesmen of the re-
public, as hoodlums and anarchists, and
jeered at the farmers, mechanics, mer-
chants and business men of 80 states

of their own cause as Jays. ""Jakeys,"

NURSED BY A WOLF
LIKE RUDYARD KIPLING'S MOWGLI.

The boy seemed to be about or years
old, but had three times the strength of the
usual boy Of that age. His head was COW
cred with mat of hair, which fell down
over his face. His body was indescribably
unclean. He moved on all fours and could
not be induced to stand erect. There was
quite growth of hair on the body, which
was covered with scars. The head was
small and the brow low and receding.
The eyes were grayish and constantly in
motion. They constantly squinted, which
gave the boy mean look. The face was
small, thin and wrinkled, and two cica-
trices on the cheeks told of deep bites that
had at some time been inflicted. Evidently
the poor creature had been roughly used
and had been compelled to fight many
times for food and life.
Some days after the boy was captured the
magistrate sent him to the Secundra Or
phanage. AS he entered that institution
on Saturday he was named Sanichar, and
by that name he is still known. For
long time after he was placed in the Or
phanage he refused TO act like a human
being. He persisted IN eating his food
from the ground, picking up vegetables
with his lips and gnawing raw meat from
the bones with his teeth.
When captured it was soon learned that
Sanichar was deaf and dumb. This rem
dered the teaching of the boy more diff
cult. AS no teacher was available who had
had experience with deaf-mutes little was
attempted In teaching him. He was left
alone to grow as he pleased. He gradually
dropped some of his old habits and be-
oil oiyiIi1od br,t ha
mute and morose.
He has consented to wear clothes and
will eat off plate. But he refuses to use
knife or fork, preferring to convey the
food from his plate with his fingers.
He has learned to walk erect, but he
occasionally drops on all fours, in which
position he can move with remarkable
speed. When standing erect he is five feet
two inches high. When walking he lifts
his feet high, like a stringhalted horse, or
as though he were wading in wet grass.
When awake he is always moving, and
his eyes have restless appearance, as
though he were expecting an attack from
an unseen enemy. When he walks all the
muscles of his body jerk. and he swings
his arms as though they materially as
sisteo him. His head is constantly turn
ing from one side 10 the other.
Sanichar is now about sc years old, and
the conditions of his early lie must always
remain mystery. He is docile enough
now, but his eyes always have hungry
look, and he is suspicious of every one.
DR.. Valentine has studied San1char a
great deal, but is unable to make much of
him. What he knows, however, almost
makes person believe in the legend of
Romulus and Remus, and the poor. half
savage creature Sanichar is living proof
that Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli has ex
listed in fact as well as in fiction.

Guilty"
What speed could the aerial mach inc
attain with perfect safety?"
"If the iotation is all right speed of
from IS TO 100 miles an hour will be moth
ing. The friction of the air will be a very
small matter. The speed will depend
altogether on the amount of air friction
and power employed. The fotation must
be secured without the use of gas. 1t must
be complete mechanical fotation, other
wise the fying-machine will be at TIE
mercy of the wind.
''It is the displacement of water which
makes so much power necessary in ves-
sells. If we can get the same grip on the
air that we can on water, friction and the
like will be but tri1es, because we will not
be doing any work against gravity. You
know if we push anything along hori-
Zontal line where there is no gravity only
a small amount of power is required 1t
is on the grades that great power is re-
qured in locomotives to haul trains. On
the levels only small amount of power is
necessary.
Horizontal propulsion will be the
method in the successful aerial machine.
The fiotation is the problem to be solved.
II machine is invented that will lift itself
and two CT three hundred pounds besides
to a distance of fifty feet in the air and
stay there, then the whole matter is solved
and becomes simply a question of details
for draughtsmen."
land how soon do you think this will
be accomplished"
within ten years." said Mr.. Edison,
promptly.
'And will any of the theories already
advanced supply the principle?'
'No. for they are neither commercial
nor reliable. l have but little faith in the
aeroplane. All l want is rope on ma
chine with the other end of the rope fas-
tened to stump, and the machine to pull
strong on the rope for two or three hours
Then I'll know the whole question is
solved. l don't want the machine very
high. There's no use going much above
the tops of trees, and the aerial machine
should land somewhere near the ground.
As for the form the machine will take.
that is a minor consideration.
There are three, possibly four, theories
in all which are of value. One of them is
the right one. Which one of them we
must find out. And we'll get it soon.''

Mowgli, in Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle
Book" is not entirely imaginary 1t is
not a particularly unusual thing for wolves
to steal babies in India, and after taking
the infants home to raise them with their
own whelps, says the New York World.
That was the story of Mowgli. He grew
up with wolves as foster parents, learned
all about the other animals and their hab-
is, and became familiar with the bandar-
log folks, the monkeys. The analysis of
the bandar-log characteristics in the
"Jungle Book" suit many people as ac-
curately as does any character in fiction.
Mowgi was an inquisitive child, and as he
was always asking questions, and was for
tunate in securing and mbering the
answers, he learned a vast deal about all
the wild inhabitants of the jungle.
There is one of these man-wolves now in
the Secundra Orphanage, near Agra, In
dia. The facts have been alluded to by
travellers before, but no authentic story of
the case has been published previously.
The secured information came from DR..
c. S. Valentine, the principal of the Agra
Medical Missionary Training Institute,
who vouched for its truthfulness.
1t was in the spring of 1867 that the
wolf-man was first seen. A party of na-
tives were hunting game in the jungles of
Bulandshahr, in Northwestern india.
These jungles are extensive and unfre-
quented and TEEN with wild beasts 1t is
IN such places that the scene of Kipling's
"Jungle Book is laid, and in them the
wild animals are seldom molested and
they are law unto themselves. Native
hunters prowl around the edges and
rarely enter the dense jungles.
While looking for game the natives dis
covered stray wolf. They followed her
to her den on top OF small hillock. Near
the den was large rock, and on top of
this was a curious, Gark-looking object.
AS the hunters approached it rose and the
startled natives saw that it was a half
grown boy. The uncouth youngster ran
away on all fours and entered the cave
with the wolf which had been pursued
The frightened hunters were so alarmed
that they returned TO the village of Bu-
landshahr and reported what they had
seen to the magistrate, who advised them
to return and try to capture the child. A
party was formed and the hunters led the
way to the hillock. A fire was built at the
mouth of the cave, so that the smoke
would enter the orifce. After waiting for
some time the wolf ran out and was killed.
Almost simultaneously the child dashed
out, and after some difficulty was caught.
The boy fought desperately. He bit and
scratched, and before he was overpowered
and securely bound several of the natives
had been bitten and two or three of them
had received ugly wounds. The wild thing
had enormous strength and was as fierce
as any wolf Even after he was tied the
little fellow snarled and snapped at any
one that approached, and it was with much
difficulty that he was finally carried aw ay
