We were hunting the blaclitail deer,
writes a sportsman to the new iorh
Sun. AS is well known to all VINO nave
pursued this willy animal, they have no
regular runs, like the Virginia deer, Tor
instance, but are migratory in thelr
habits. Dogs are absolutely useless In
their pursuit. 1t is only by still hunt-
ing that they can be secured. AnotheE
popularity of these deer is that when
shot, unless instantly killed, they in
stinctively start to run up hill. III they
are mortally wounded they give but a
few bounds; then they turn and run
down hill. They will lie down as soon
as they think they are out of sight, and
IL not disturbed will die.
On this occasion | was with a we'll
known gentleman, who spent month
from his business each autumn hunting
We happened to came together when
he espied and shot through the bowels
a large buck 1t made few jumps up
the hill. when it turned down, went
across a little gully, and lay down un-
der a pinion tree. Charlie said he knew
1t was mortally wounded, but he be-
lieyed he could drive it to camp. He did
not adopt the plan of John Jones, OF
CuIIlnB IL S"lLCll anu uIltlllpNlhb W
drive II. That would have been a very
dangerous experiment with a blacktail
buck, but he fired shot just in front
of him so as to throw dirt in his face.
This caused him to get up and start
slowly down the gully, but in the oppo-
site direction from camp. We there
upon ran down the hill to head him OFF
but let him get down to the creek which
ran toward camp, and we, having q
much shorter distance to go, got there
| just as he did, when by hallooing and
firing our guns in the air we turned
him down the creek. We had about
| two miles to go. In that distance he
| lay down three times, and we got hin
up in the same way we aroused him the
first time. We finally drove him withir
fifty yards of the camp, and then de-
spatched him.
He proved to be the largest buck kill
ed that season, and his immense ant
lers are now doing service in IN!
friends house in Colorado City as {
hat-rack. But people who know jus
how game a blacktail deer is look in
credulous when he tells how we manip
ulated him and made him carry his owl
carcass two miles to camp.

WONDERS OF THE Past YEAR
No YEAR TN HISTORY HAS LEFT sUCH
A RECORD OF INVENTIONS.

Professor Roentgen's Discovery The Ex-
periments with Air Ships, Electricity,
Photography, and Bicycies--Progress OF
the Healing Art.
No single year in the worlds history
has left so grand a record of invention
and discovery as that which has just
closed. During 1896 new civilization
has been in process of incubation. When
fully developed, as 1t probably will be
early in the twentieth century, 1t will
be as far ahead of the present as the
present is in advance of the stage coach
age.
The greatest achievement of the year
was at its Threshold. 1t was early IN
January when Professor Roentgen, Of
Wurzberg University, astonished the
world by showing that such substances
as wood, leather, aluminium and human
flash are not opaque, but as transpar-
ent as glass, and that there Is another
and more powerful medium of vision
than ordinary light--a mysterious me-
dium which Is itself invisible. This
discovery was the more surprising, be-
cause 1t was never hinted or guessed
| at before, but was entirely new. 1t
was found that few things were abso-
lutely opaque when Roentgen or "X'
rays were turned upon them, and that
common glass is harder for these
beams to penetrate than thick boards.
| No sooner was this discovery an
nounced than the whole civilized world
became interested in it, our own coun-
try most of all. There was scarcely an
inventor or a college laboratory that
did not begin experimenting, and al
most daily fresh capabilities of the new
rays revealed themselves. At first only
shadowgraphs were taken by camera
and Crookes' tubes. Later both these
instruments were dispensed with, and
by means Of the rays, the naked eye

taken shadowgraphs by using glow
worms light. Professor Salvioul ha
invented the cryptoscope, which ena
bles one to see through opaque objects

Tesla have largely added to our stool
of knowledge in the same direction.

Special New York Letter.

The immediate hient was the endow-
ment of beds in the Hannemann Hos
pital for the benefit of the National
Guard, and this object will be hand
somely carried ont, but as popular
spectacle the tournament suggests a
new use for our regular army and mi
tia. The spectace of mimic war has
been very realistic. 1t has exhibited he
cavalry, infantry and artillery of the
regular army In evolutions of all kinds,
and In the use of their weapons in
charges, assaults and line of battle,
and the pride and pleasure of the pub
lie In the efficiency of Uncle Sans SOL
diers has been bound dless. The exhibit
ions in horsemanship drill, in storming
barricades, and in rapid firing of the
new weapons of the infantry and ar
tillery, were very remarkable. Nor did
the mllitamen come much behind. The
efficiency and fine appearance of the
new naval militia attracted much
praise There We're almost numberless
features of entertainment, and the mil
itary tournament as a popular sport
has probably come to stay. AS form
of athletics, there could not well be
anything more manly and useful than
the modern military uIlll'
The public hearings on the draft OF
the charter Of Greater New York con-
tinue, and the various sections of the
new instrument are being subjected to
thorough examination and criticism.
There is no doult that certain inter-
ests are dissatisfied, and the draft OF
charter to please everybody is of
course an impossibility. The public
generally is anxious to see the scheme
consummated, and there IS little doubt
here that the present Legislature is as
capable of handling 1t wisely as any
subsequent Legislature is likely to be.
The old style OF rolice Justice, who
was always game 'or the reporters, has
disappeared in this city. The new
magistrates, who have succeeded Div
yer and his kind seem to be quite as
much of a mark for the reporters as
their predecessors. Magistrate Mott, in
particular, has been subjected to a de-
gree of roasting, from both pen and
pencil, that has made him one of the
figures of the town. The administra-
tion of police justice Is always more or
less of a mystery, and perhaps excess
OF zeal is its chief fault. Eut II is
certainly time Tor the magiGlrates to
draw a line against the teJIimony ot
spies and probationary policemen, anX-
ious to earn a fee or secure promotion
In trying the cases OF The poor and un-
fortunate 1t seems to have been the
fault of Mott TO place too much reli7
ance on this kind of testimony. Judge
Lawrence has made very righteous
decision in ruling that police Justice
must allow Offenders arraigned or po
lice charges an opportunity to give
security for good behavior. Petty ty'
ranny toward the poor and unfortu'

BY a decision of the Prefect of the
Seine, horseloss carriages have just
been admitted to all the rights and
privileges for public service in the or
dinary facre. The step is wise one,
and It will he interesting to watch the
progress of the competition. If some
such bylaw were made in a few large
towns in England the industry might
soon become great one, but all the
while it is confined to the Crystal Pal
ace exhibition it Is not calculated to
make the fortune of many people.

Things do not always work Just as
their inventors intend them to work.
Sometimes, says the American Machin-
list, their action Is entirely the reverse
of what was expected and a great sur
prise is accomplished. England has a
Merchandise Marks Act" which re-
quires that made In Germany" shall
be indelibly stamped upon every arti-
Gle to which It will truthfully apply.
The intention OF the act Is, of course.
that every Engllshman as soon as he
sees the abnoxious label shall know
that the article is necessarily of inferior
quality, and there will be either no sale
for II or It must be sold at ruinous
sacrifice.
The actual experience Of Germany is
that the affixing of the required stamp
has been a service of great value to
German manufacturers. The mark
turns out to carry presumption of ex-
cellence and superiority, rather than
the reverse, and 1t Is claimed that Ger
man-made goods could have had no bet
ter advertisement. The enforcement of
the act reveals the fact that goods OF
German make had heretofore been mas
querading as English or French, and
foreign buyers, instead of buying them
in England, now buy direct from Ger
man houses.
1t is not strange that 1t is now pro-
posed in England to abolish the "Mer.
chandise Marks Act" but win the
abolition OF the act abolish the marks ;

Y Rays In Moonlight.

A German paper publishes a short ar
ticle, in which the author claims to
have found rays similar to the X rays
in the light of the moon. He states
that when dry plates We're exposed in
an inclosed holder to the suns rays no
effect was obtained, but when exposed
to the rays OF the moon during a night
they were completely blackened. Pieces
of metal produced no shadow, showing
that they did not absorb these rays,
which therefore, traverse materials
OPAQUE to X rays. Masonry was the
only material found which was Opaque
to them. when the moon was near the
horizon shadows similar to those pro-
duced by rays were obtained; black
materials near the plate, especially
when they touch ii, produce strong
light effects. In some cases the struc-
ture of the wooden case was shown on
the plate. The rays seemed to pass
readily through the densest bodies.

Special New York Letter.
That the modern newspaper revels |
in spicy news, and is not very particu-
lar as to how It obtains It., Is well
understood. Just at present the legiti-
mate sources of supply appear 70 be
ample, and reporters have only to hang
around police headquarters to furnish
the most up-to-date journal with all
the moral shivers its circulation desk
may desire.
A good deal has been made Of the
Seeley dinner. 1t was bachelor af-
fair of kind that might very judic-
iously be suppressed, but just what
good is to come of its exploitation may
well puzzle anybody but a reformer or
the modern local type. 1t has certain
ly served the purpose of keeping the
gossips busy and the public highly en-
! tertained, but as an exhibit of the NOR
al uses of publicity 1t assumes the char
acter of pretty serious precedent.
The business and financial situation
continues to attract attention. Nearly
all business men complain of poor col
lections, indicating a general scarcity
| OF money. Yet the sixty-five clearing
house banks of this city now have on
deposit the enormous sum of S548, $685.
200, and the reserve reported on Satur-
day last was $43, ,997 ,450. There Is
doubtless a reason for the accumula-
tion OF so much money here, where 1t
goes begging at 1 to per cent. on good
security, but there are prophets of all
kinds regarding the reason. There is
certainly holding back of confidence
in the ability or purpose of the borrow
ing public to make good their plans,
but how this Is to be overcome is not
; as yet apparent. Perhaps the monetary
convention in session this week at In
dianapolis may be able to inaugurate
reform. There is certainly need of
the East and West getting together
at least for four years on the question
of business methods IL not of monetary
policy.

or evil city to those who know 1t
thoroughly, but It is compelled to live
in the eye of publicity that is very
discouraging to those who really de-
