Drilling With Bullets,

A novel method of perforating iron
plates is reported fro n Salt Lake City.
The city is being supplied with cleo
tricity for lighting and power gener-
ated fourteen miles away in the Big
Cottonwood Canon. 1t WAS found
necessary, for the purpose of pipe
connections, to ont four 4S-inch open
ings in the seven-foot penstock, the
plates of which were half an inch
thick. The workmrn began to
cut with cape chsels, but the progress
made was too exasperatinglv slow for
the engineer of the works, r. M.Jones,
who is known throughout the West MS
the "cowboy engineer. Mr.. Jones
took up his rifle, and using steel bull
lets cased with copper, shot a line of
holes through the plates from dis
lance of about thirty feet. The in
tervening edges were afterward easily
cut out and in very short time the
job was finished. -Pttsb urg Dispatch.

Michigan System of Child Saving

The unique system of child saving
in Michigan is n very interesting OBJ

state has reversed for itself the cond.

pauperism increased in greater ratio
than the population.
The principal features of the Michi-
gan system are l. The State Public
School for Dependent Children at
Coldwater. 2. The Industrial School
for Boys at Liam sing, and the Indus

Apaches Run Down Deer and WO.f.

Captain II. L. Scott of the famous
seventh United States cavalry relates
some marvellous tales Of the powers of
endurance and heetness of foot OF the
members AT troop l. of his regiment,
which is composed of Chiracahua
Apache Indians from Arizona. lie
relntes that on one occasion full
grown and able-bodied deer run
through the cavalry camp, and i'll.
stantly, with series Of wild yells, the
Indians gave chase on foot, and by ex.
ceeding swiftness and skill they nctu-
ally ran it down, caught it about nine
miles from camp and brought it in I'M
harmed.
On one occasion nine of them were
returned to camp after II full day of
hard work, riding upon government
wagon drawn by n mule team. A coy
ote was seen close by the trail, pur-
suing young calf. Instantly the
futigues of the dny's labor were for
gotten, the dusky driver in his wild
enthusiasm even forgetting the team,
and the whole gave chuse, and after

two hours, the wolf was captured, tied
gagged and carried into camp. The
mules had meanwhile quietly wended
their way to camp.
This seems strange to the average
paleface, and the Sioux look upon
these wonderful feats as some thing APP
preaching the supernatural. This, i'll
short, indicates the difference which
different methods of life, pursued
through generations, makes in people
of the same general race. The pale
face would fall by the wayside in n
mile; the Sioux would shrug his
shoulders, grunt and lie down, or
would fly to his trusty pony,on which
he will do more work prob IDLY than
any other man living, without regard
to the character of his mount. Sioux

New SearchIight for Ships.

A new and powerful searchlight has
been invented for the purpose of sim
plifying searchlight operations on
board ship. 1t is portable, and may
be packed in box when not in use.
1t can be attached in less than min
ute. Its weight is just below fifteen
pounds, and it can be handled with
the greatest ease or suspended from a
chain and operated by the officer on
watch. Its peculiar feature is that it
does not dazzle the sight of the oper-
ator. None of the beams are wasted,
and it gives high degree of concen-
tration of light rays upon the object
upon which they are directed. The
instrument has both automatic and
hand feed, and the focusing arrange
ment is very simple. 1t shows small
objects, such as buoy, three-quarters
of n mile off, while it makes sails vs-

sHsvs You thought" said the rose to the lily
"That our gardener is god?
For they tell me he planted that plum.tree
And even made grow the sod.
"He surely will live forever,
His life IL so strong and strange.
For the tulip who died this morning
Had never seen him change.
"She said he was surely immortal,
And the peony thinks so, too;
For he spaded her roots in the spring-time
As her mother had seen him do.
'For my part think he has always
Been hoeing the tasseled corn,
And If we could only prove it.
The man was never born!"
Then the lily bent near to the rose-tree
And. opening her snowy bell,
Exhaled her heart in perfume
While she whispered, 81 cannot tell
but feel II his life be lovely
And sweet as our own, and pure,
The One who made US will bless him,
And cause his soul to endure.
"For beauty, dear Rose, is deathless.
And goodness can never die;
While ever serene and perfect
Dwells the spirit Of purity.
"And since he Is very gentle,
And tends US with SD much care,
1 think when we bloom In heaven
We shall find our gardener there"

GOLD DEMOCRATS RETURN.
Sound-MOney Delegates Will Confer
About a third Ticket.

Sound-money democrats of the Eastern
states are wholly at sea about a third ticket.
Two points only are quite clear:
First-That Tammauy rs an organization
will ratify the Chicago nominations and SUP
port the ticket because 1t is regular.
Second-The sound-money democrats will
meet for conference, probably next week in
his city, to discuss the advisability of favor
ing a second convention and a sound-money
democratic candidate FOR president. This
conference will be attended by many lead
Ing delegates to the late convention from
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and other sound
money states. Senator Hill may not attend
this conference. He has returned from Chic
ago to Albany. Mr.Whitncy. senator Gray Of
Delaware, former governor Russell of Mas
sachusetts, Smith NJ. Weed. former mayor
Hugh J. Grant and other delegates
have arrived in New York. They are
not laxative. All are extremely tired.
Every one wants to put of consdera-
ton of third ticket to see whether
a spontaneous demand for one should be
made In New York. New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Maryland. Ohio Indiana, Illinois. Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota. No other
states are even considered. The far western
Rocky Mountain states are abandoned to
free silver.
A good many Of the leaders are opposed
to third ticket on the ground that 1t would
scatter sound money votes.
