Indian Lore About Cyclones.

"People out West" observed Kan
sas Congressman, ''have learned a
number of things from the Indians, and
many of them are of value. Probably
the most valuable has been in the mat
ter of cyclones. We have learned that
whenever a city or town was built on
the site of m old Indian settlement, it
has been free from any of the cyclones
which have now and them come along
in the Western country. How the In
dians were observant and smart enough
to select sites for settlement which
have always escaped cyclones is more
than we have been able to learn to
study or investigation, but the fact re-
mains that towns or cities on original
Indian settlements are cyclone-proof.
These towns which are located thus
fortunately use their Indian origin as
an advertisement and as a guarantee
for settlement. Thus lots in an origi-
nal Indian settlement town are sold for
a higher price and are in greater de-
mand than in towns laid out by white
men. It is rather rough on our intell-
igence, but it is dollars to pennies that
it is right. The cyclone insurance COM
panies will insure policy on houses in
an Indian settlement town for one
third the prices they charge for similar
policies in other sections. They have
found that it pays them better to issue
the low-rate policies than other poll
cies at the higher rate. "-Washington

A HUMORIST'S JOKE.
How Bill Nye Got Satisfaction Out OF
Chicago Tailor.

How Bill Nye Got Satisfaction Out Of q
Chicago Tailor.
'Nye's method of 'stringing peo.
ple,'" says James Whitcomb Riley,
"was entertaining always, but never
cruel and never earned him the re-
sentiment of the people who were the
victims of it. One of the most artls.
tic cases of this sort I recall was the
way he got revenge on Chicago
tailor. The tailor did not know him
when he went to order his suit, but
he did know from his style that he
was from the country. He told MIR.
Nye Just what kind of suit he
wanted, selected the cloth and meas
ured him with the assurance that this
was q beautiful fast color and would
wear like iron. It should be put up
handsomely.
"When Nye paid him for the suit,
and asked that it be shipped to a
way station in Iowa, the tailor was
sure that he was right in the mental
measurement he had taken of his Gus
toner. The suit arrived, neatly lined
with farmers satin, and Nye put it on.
Day by day its bright blue grew
lighter and lighter, until when he ar
rived in Chicago six weeks later it
was kind of a dingy dun color.
Nye remarked as the train pulled in
that his first duty in that city would
be to go around and interview that
merchant liar, and we went. We
shambled back to the rear end of the
shop, where he found the man who
sold him the garments. he shook
hands with him cordially, said he was
glad to renew the pleasant acquaint-
ance, and asked if he knew what had
caused the suit to change its beautiful
color, at the same time turning up the
lapel of the coat, showing the strik-
ing contrast between the original and
the present color of the cloth.
why, man. cried the tailor,
bristling with defensive indignation,
what in the world have you been
doing with that suit?'
WELL replied Nye, in tones OF
the meekest apology, you did not
warn me, and I suppose it was my
fault and I ought to have known bet
ter. But since you insist, I'll tell
you frankly what I did. I put it on
and wore it right out in the sum-
The tailor saw the point and insisted
upon making another suit out of
cloth that was really good and would
not accept pay for it."-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Merit Wins.

The invention OF Alabastine marked new
era in wall coatings, and from the stand
point of the building owner was most I'M
portant discovery. 1t has from small be-
ginning branched out into every country OF
the civilized world. The name "kalsomine"
has become go offensive to property owners
that manufacturers Of cheap kalsomine
preparations are now calling them by some
other name, and attempting to sell on the
Alabastine company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits Of the durable Alabas-
tine are so thoroughly known that the peo-
pie insist on getting these goods and will
take no chance of spelling their walls for
possible saving OF ut the most but few
CENTS. Thus II is again demonstrated that
merit wins. and that manufacturers Of first
class articles will be supported BY the people.

POPULAR SCIENCE,

An Austrian fluid designed to pre-.
vent boiler incrustation is composed Of
water, calcined soda, oil SCOT, pulver-
lied zinc, caustic lime and mineral oil,
to which blend are added tannin and
tartaric acid.
Some portable electric stoves are
found very convenient by ladies, for
heating curling irons, chafng dishes,
etc., and tiny laundry iron, for iron
ing laces, handkerchiefs and other light
articles, is very popular.
In q new automatic regulator for
water pumping windmills, the nechan-
ism is 80 connected with float in the
tank that it is put in motion when the
water has sunk to q certain limit, and
stopped when the water attains GER
tain height.
Fl. M. s. Star is the first of eight
torpedo-boat destroyers being built for
the British navy. She is two hundred
and fifteen feet in length and twenty
feet nine inches in breadth, her con-
tract speed being thirty knots per
hour; she is the fastest vessel afoat.
The Sciara, worm-like insect of
forests of Hungary and Norway, is
only tenth of an inch long, yet in
migrating, in July or early August, the
creatures are said to stick themselves
together in a serpent-like mass often
forty to fifty feet long and several
inches thick. A French naturalist
states that if the ends of the mass be
placed together the insects will travel
Tor hours in the circle formed.
A. Western inventor has developed
an arrangement whereby the act of
opening the furnace door to fire puts
into operation an arrangement for in
iecting heated air into the furnace, and
this in lection continues for predeter-
mined time, being shut off automati-
cally by the attached mechanism at the
end of a period, the length of which is
determined by experiment, which will
allow of the combustion of the volatile
constituents of the fuel.
Ionone, the perfume of the violet, is
mentioned as unquestionably the finest
of all products Of sympathetic chemis-
try thus far. In its commercial form
of a ten per cent. solution, it is quoted
at $14O a pound, which would make
the value of the undiluted substance,
at the same ratio, $1400 pound. And
this, moreover, is only crude material,
of disappointing odor. 1t is only when
much further diluted and skillfully
combined with other materials that the
exquisite fragrance of the violet is
brought out.
It has been suggested, says Elec.
tricity, that economy of street rail-
roads would be subaerved by placing
the wheels on ball bearings, and ex-
pertinent has shown that the starting
torque required on car SO equipped
is very much less than on other cars.
T seems to be only 0, question whether
the cost of introduction and mainten-
ance of ball bearings is not greater
than the cost of the energy that would
be saved by their uss. If it is not, we
may look for far greater statiQG
economy in the near future.

ZACHARY TAYLoR'S FACE.
It Looks Now as It Locked When He Died
Nearly Fifty Years Ago.


On q recent Tuesday, while New
Workers were doing honor 10 the
memory of General Grant, small
group of friends of another President
went to his tomb to look at his sturdy
face and recall the stories of his
stirring life, which went out almost
half century ago. The few friends
surrounded the modest tomb of old
Rough and Ready Taylor in a grave
yard scarcely a stones throw beyond
the limits of this city, says Louis.
vile (Ky.) correspondent of the New
York Sun. Accompanied by Louis
Vile undertaken they were making
their annual visit to the tomb to in
spect the metallic case to see that
every Joint was sealed so as to pre-
vent the air from entering.
The glass covering the face of the
dead Executive is always exposed at
these times. The face was wonder
fully preserved and the features
looked, but for a few wrinkles, just
as they did forty-seven years ago.
The face was as white as marble, and
everything about the body seemed to
be unchanged and perfectly preserved.
The Taylor family burial ground
is two miles northeast of ST. Mathews,
a suburb of Louisville on the Short
Line Railroad, and is one Of the most
beautiful in the State. Probably,
with the one exception of the vault of
the first President at Mount Vernon,
none of the Executives of the United
States lies in more beautiful spot
than does General Zachary Taylor.
The burial ground is within 300
yards of the old Taylor homestead.
1t is withing 200 yards of the Browns
boro pike, and occupies exactly an
acre. It slopes to the east, and is
surrounded by a fve-foot wall OF
stone. This wall has stood for many
years, but not a sign of decay or
carelessness in its keeping can be
seen. It stands solid and firm, and
gives promise Of standing for GEN.
tury yet
Just to the east of the entrance is
the vault which contains the body of
the ex-President. 1t is one of those
old-fashioned, plain vaults, which are
now seldom seen. A covering Of
myrtle keeps it green the year around.
Sloping toward the road, the vault
can be easily seen by travellers. The
plain, solid iron door has no inscrip-
ton, but on o marble slab above the
door are the words:
ZACHARY TAYLOR,
