A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there is
a granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up substantial ladder staircase. One
of the bullocks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, he was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. AS soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail-
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
IL so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of a
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was a crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell.
breaking all his legs, SO that be had to be
killed ON the spot.-Paris Letter.

THE WONDERS OF ATOMS.
iven tho Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions of Particles.


Millions of Particles.
There are bat few persons outside of
the ranks of the biological students that
have any idea Of what is meant by the
expression IAN atom of matter" When
the microscope is applied to the exami-
nation of living tissue, whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable life, it
Is soon observed that all living things
are made up Of minute bodies called
"organisms. Experts in the various
branches Of biological research Will also
tell you that no essential difference can
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the sum total of
animal life and those which give the
vegetable its existence. These life cells,
although wonders within themselves,
are made up of minute particles called
"atoms," which are so small that they
must over remain invisible to the hui
man eye. SOME critical reader will say,
IF this last remark be true, how can
it be proved that such infinitesimal par
ticles as your so called atoms exist?"
To this query the reply would be that it
is only when an untold number of these
atoms unite themselves so as to form a
single body, like the grains in a pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi-
BILE and then only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish.
This being the case, it is not an exag-
geration to say that every little piece of
matter which we are able to see is built
up of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken in aggregations of thou
sands. There are, of course, many diff
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc., each Of
which is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they probably differ in shape as we'll as
size. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu-
tual attraction, which is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity, according as the atoms are of
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr-
lads Of these atoms of all sizes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de-
grees Of intensity to build up structures
possessing all the various degrees of
stability and solidity. Some of the most
wonderful theories ever advanced on
the atomic theory are by Sir William
Thomson, the English scientist. In one
of these articles he proves by three diff
ferent trains of arguments that an atom
cannot be greater than the one one hun
dred and fifty millionth of an inch nor
less than one-five billionth of an inch.

1.-The most eloquent speakers are not
the most powerful" says Hon. John
Fithian Of Illinois. "There are men
who could hold an audience spellbound
with O speech about cockroach and at
the close Of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, bird or piece of machinery.
I saw an illustration of this one time in
q political meeting. One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country is EN-
erson Etheridge, and heard him deliver
a speech that swayed the hearers like
music at the hands of master. There
was nothing that he could not do with
the crowd while they were under his
control. His opponent had voice like
a big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to homely Ian
guage and rather coarse ridicule. /
watched the vote in that precinct, and
the measure advocated by the eloquent
speaker scarcely received vote. while
the other man bad carried everything
before him as if by storm"

Fainstaking Forgers.

"Men try in every way possible" said
prominent bank president, "to obtain

''Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. AT least we

as careful as possible in signing letters.

HE always gives the same reason for

Sun Leader: 1t has been extremely
amusing to watch the manner in which
Blydenburg has been attempting to
work the populists in this state. After
he had successfully secured the CO.
operation Of Rev. (?) Nichols. he fg-
ured that he would be able to pull the
wool over the eyes Of the Crook county
populists. In order to do this the pro-
gram was that Nichols was to swear
eternal allegiance 10 Brown, which he
did without being found out as long
as he vas in Browns meek Of woods"
B~lydenburg then transferred Nichols
to southern Wyoming. and tried to
use him as a connecting link to make
a traitor out Of Patterson. but as Pat
terson remained true to his populist
party and filed his certificate of nomi-
nation, Nichols Immediately com
menced to abuse him, claiming that he
had sold out. Perhaps no one in the
state knows as much about selling out
as the very Rev. Nichols, who started
