HANCOCK COUNTY COURTHOUSE.

Iinois to the far West. The return of
the executive branch Of the church gov
eminent to the State in placing the
missionary headquarters in Chicago
marks an epoch of the withdrawal Of
the Latter Day Saints and it's cause. In
the northwest part of Carthage is still
standing the famous old Jail, with it's
stone walls a yard in thickness, but in
stead of presenting the forbidding as
poets of the average jail a beautiful
conservatory adoTns almost the entire
front of the lower story and two wood
bine vines are creeping up the walls to
the sill of the window from which
Joseph Smith fell a corpse. On the
ground underneath the window flow
err bed marks the spot where the proph-
ct lay as he breathed his last.
1t was in 1S39-4O that Joseph Smith
entered Illinois with thousands of his
followers who had been driven out Of
Missouri and Ohio. He established a
city at Nauvoo which in two years at
tanned a population of $4,000. The Nor
mon prophet had little trouble in OBJ
tanning illegal charters from the State
Legislature, and it was to the rascality
of that body that in a great measure
were due the subsequent troubles with
the Mormons. Whenever Smith or any
of his followers would evade or break
the law and were threatened with az
rest, or were arrested, they would re-
sort to the protection Of the habeas
corpus act, and by this method escape
the clutches Of the law.
The late Judge Hibee and his brother
Francis were living in Nauvoo during
the reign of Joseph, and became very
weary of the methods employed by
Smith and his followers. So, about
June 20, they issued the first number of
the Nauvoo EXpositor, which fairly
screamed with denunciations of Nor
mon methods. This was the first and
last issue of the paper. By order OF
Joseph Smith, mayor and president OF
Nauvoo, the Expositor Office was de.
molished and the press and type thrown
/ into the Mississippi River. Joseph
/ Smith, his brother Hyrum, and DR.
Taylor. who was the late head of the
Utah church, were arrested for this act

Thrilling Experiences of Great North
ern Engineer.
To battle with huge mountain lion,
seven feet in length and 253 pounds in

Edward G. Depew, an engineer On the

Mr.. Depew. in relating his adventure,
said: after we had left Lowell,
Wash, and almost two miles east Of
there, about half way across a long
trestle, my fireman, George Lawrence,
jumped down off his box seat and came
quickly 10 my side of the engine. All
he could do was to glare through the
window of the cab and point ahead A
cold perspiration broke out on my
brow. looked ahead and saw, through

Ericsson's Drawing Board.

An engineer in the department Of
docks, New York City, thinks that he
has discovered the old drawing board
on which Ericsson drew the plans for
his famous Monitor. The wood Is stain
ed by age, and it is filled with holes
from the thumb lacks that have been
driven into it. Ericsson was employed
by the Delamater Iron Works when
he designed the Monitor. The company
built derrick for the city few years
later, and at that time the old draw
ing board was taken from their office
and placed in the derrick. 1t was kick
ed around carelessly for several years,
and finally landed in the office Of the
dock department. where it has seen
much service.

AN OLD TRAGEDY RECALLED.
The Killing of Mormors Joseph and

The Killing of Mormors Joseph and
Hyrum Smith at Carthage, Ill
The removal of the missionary de-
partment of the Mormon Church from
Kansas City to Chicago calls attention
to one of the great tragedies in the an
nails Of Illinois, Over half a century
ago Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet,
and his brother, Hyrum, were murder
ed in the Hancock County Jail, in Car
image. Perhaps no single crime ever
perpetrated in the United States up to
that time was of such a sensational
character and attracted as much atten-
ton as did this one. The few people
living to-day who were alive at the
time of the killing of the Mormons say
that no event of like nature ever took
place within their memory which ere
ated such excitement. The case at once
became SO notorious and caused so
much comment that thousands of peo-
pie to-day are almost as familiar with
the details as if they had been eyewit-
nesses. Even those who sanctioned
the deed at the time and still sanction
it agree that it is the blacklist spot on
the pages of the history of Illinois. The
Staying of their leaders was the cause
of the removal Of the Mormons from IL

Crvsta1 sky Columns.

An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which is called the
.'pseudo-aurora," is offered in Science
nv Mr.. Goode of the Chicago Uniyers-
itv. The phenomenon takes the form of
beautiful columns of silvery light
standing over electric arc lamps and
other bright lights, and sometimes APP
nearing almost to reach the zenith. Mr..
qoode says that sometimes the evening
star has a bright shaft below as well as
above, while the rising moon stands in
a broad column of light. These APP
nearances are due to floating frost crys-
tails which keep their rejecting faces
horizontal. On examination he found
that the crystals concerned in the ex-
hibition were thin, six-sided plates Of
ice. never more than one millimetre in
diameter. When the wind blows these
little plates are upset, and the columns
of light, caused by reflection from their
surfaces, disappear.

Electric Photorra mis-.

Monsieur De Heen, a Belgian scien-
fist, has succeeded in producing photo
graphic impressions by simply allowing
a current of air filed with floating
lycopodium dust to impinge upon a
sensitive plate in a dark room. His
explanation is based upon the we'll
known fact that whenever air contain
ing particles of watery vapOr, or fine
dust, is driven against solid object,
it produces electrifcation; and he
thinks that the electricity developed by
the impact of the dust-charged air with
the sensitive plates alone sufices to
affect the latter without the interven-
ton of light rays of any kind.

Inertia of the Nerves.

The researches and experiments of
Messrs. Broca and Richet have led them
to the conclusion that the cerebral
nervous system is incapable of perceiv-
ing more than an average of ten sep
arate impressions per second. After
each excitation of the nerves a period
of inertia follows, lasting about one
tenth of a second, and during this
period new impression cannot be
made. According to the same author
ity person cannot make more than
ten, or at the most a dozen, separate
voluntary movements of any kind in a
second, although the muscles, indepen-
IDENTIFY of the will, are capable of max
ing as many as thirty or forty.

American Gems.

Although not many precious stones Of
great value are found in the United
States, yet, as Mr.. George f, Kunz
shows in his recent report to the Geo
logical Survey, they include diamonds,
rubies and sapphires. In 1895 a dia-
mond weighing six carats was found in
Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. Rubies
are found in Macon County, North
Carolina, and sapphires in Fergus
County, Montana. Fine gems of tour
maline, chrysoprase and other minerals
exist in various parts of the country.
