The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-07-03

In one Of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
@. +. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions Of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear Of all doubt. Instead Of such be-
ing the case science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead Of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced In illustration
the Newtonian theory of gravitation as
involving paradoxes to this day unex-
planned, arguing that il bodies act up
on each othor at distance without any
intervening medium then thing can
act where IL il not, which is an absurd
ity, while, on the other hand, il there
is material medium filling all space,
and q gravity is transmitted through
that by push rather than by pull,
then the transmission ought TO occupy
some appreciablo time, but this IL does
not do, and at any rate, il its action is
not absolutely instantaneous, its veloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that Of light. Moreover,
every effort TO represent gravitation as
tho result Of push from behind in
wolves absurdities Of various kinds. In
fact, Newton's final conclusion was tha.
the philosophy Of gravitation IL abso-
lutely inconceivable and its action para
doxical.

THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.
teen and Chased by Indians aud Hunters
bus Never Caught.


During tho summer of 1875 bands OK
Indians returning from hunt far out
On the plains brought In stories OF hav-
Ing seen at different times and In differ
ent places, and always In the center OF
n large herd, white buffalo. They had
hsed their best horses In the EFFORT to
Dvertake it Co no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near tho animal.
At first we did not pay much attention
10 these stories. but still IL kept crop
ping up from different camps, aud at
last. in tho fall Of 1875, myself had
chance to verify the truth OF the report.
I had been sent on duty north along the
Red Deer river and was camped near
large band of Blackfeet, who were hunt
ing south of that river. The buffaloes had
moved north in vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.
had gone out one morning with a
party Of Blackfeet to sec one OF their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self My horse was good one and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. I had got detached from the
party, becoming tired Of the slaughter,
and must have been at least 30 miles
from camp, when made for small
clump of timber not far of, intending
to build fire and roast portion OF
some buffalo meat I had on tho saddle
with me. As / approached the wood q
band of about 100 animals burst out OF
the brush and made off to the south,
and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
of them was white buffalo. Although
they were quarter of mile away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and running like deer. There
was no time to much more than take In
the scene, but gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.
Oh, what race 1t was, mile after
milel And, although all the band, with
the exception Of about dozen, had
split off and gone in different direc-
tions, the white animal, with his body
guard Of about q dozen kept at about
the same distance ahead. / could catch
q glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was snow white.
Get within shot could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also, I had
good hopes Of coming up and getting q
shot. Alas, for such q chancel OF a
sudden my horse lurched forward on
his nose, sending me over his head on tc
the prairie and turning a somersault
himself, missing me by only few feet.
He had put his foot into badger hole
and brought my hopes Of white robe
to q sudden end. Forest and Stream

TRACKING A CHILD.

ways q Fierce Beast.
So many terrible stories of the feroc-
ity Of bloodhounds have been told that
IL In refreshing to read "a true story OF q
chase by bloodhound i'm which tho
hunter and tho hunted were equally
satisfied. 1t IL vouchod for by writer
IN Good Words, who had II from al
eyewitness.
The bloodhound was enjoying stroll
with his master on the sands Of Weston
super Mare, quietly following the horse
his owner rode. Neither was thinking
Of chase. In fact nothing seemed fur
ther from tho character of the dog than
q desire to interfere with any human
being. The group Of pleasure seekers
scattered over the sands saw nothing
unusual in him, nor did the poor dis
tracted woman who ran from one group
to another frantically asking for tidings
of lost child. Nobody knew anything
Of the missing boy, and when In her
desperation she approached the gentle
man on the horse he also shook his head.
But though he knew nothing OF her
not help her find him. He alighted from
his horse, and thrusting his arm through
the bride bent over the hound, putting
both hands carelessly round his head.
Then he took from the woman some
thing that looked like child's hat and
held it toward the dog, talking to him
the while. The hound shifted and whined
mournfully, as il unwilling to leave his
MASTER Soon, however, he lifted his
head in the air. uttered short, sharp
bark or bay and began shifting about the
sands.
For minute or two he followed the
scent in a gigzag fashion, and then,
with q long, loud bay, turned of at an
amazing pace, ran in q straight line
across the sands. crossed the parade,
and. baying as he went, turned down a
side street.
That was an exciting chase-the field
tho streets Of populous watering place
and the game lost child. The loud
voice Of the dog could be heard in the
distance, guiding those who followed.
The mothers feet were swift, but she
could not keep up with the dog. On he
went till he had run his prey to ground.
Then he stopped and fawned upon the
little lad, who was overjoyed to find SO
friendly playmate. When the mother
came up, hunter and hunted were the
best of friends, so much 80 that neither
was willing to part with the other.
The gentleman had more than once to
summon his dog before he would con-
sent to leave the child. As for the boy,
he could not be led away while the dog
remained, and after the hound had dis
appeared he was still heard to murmur,
II would like that dear doggie for my
own"

Various Ways OF Correctly Guiding tn,
Course Of Vessel.

Various Ways Of Correctly Guiding the
Course Of Vessel.
Gustav Kobbe contributes an article
to st. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship.
When q vessel is running free-that is,
with the wind dead astern-she must
leave q straight wake, or she is not rum
ming a straight course. When she is ION
the wind" her canvas full, not shiver-
ing-when she is
AS near as she will lie
By keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less, according to the force of the wind
and the speed of the vessel. This angle
measures what we call the ships "lee
way"-that which she loses from true
course. With vessel hove to in gale
the leeway becomes very large and is
called the drift"
Coasting craft steer by the line OF
white surf on the shore or in thick
weather by its roar as it breaks OH
the beach or rocks. They haul in to
catch tho sound, then keep off until
they lose it, and then haul in again to
a central line and maintain it. An old
sea dog once told me that one thick
night, coming up along the coast with
a head wind so that they had to tack in
and off shore, they sailed their tacks,
or ran their "legs," by candles-run-
ming off shore long enough to burn ont
two candles, but burning one for the
inshore leg, SO as to avoid standing in
too close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest chan
nels, by the varying echoes Of the pad
dies from the shores.
A given course can also be run by
soundings, or, rather, by line Of
soundings. In entering New York har-
Dor keep in, say, Is, 90, 40 fathoms. no
less, until you get 10 fathoms. If then
the lead shows fine white sand, look out
for Sandy Hook lightship. Coarse yell
low sand will land you on Fire island.
