Energy From Volcanic Hest.

The energy stored in the coal beds has rightly been referred back to the sun and 1t is no doubt to the same source that we should ultimately attrib- ute the heat developed at great depths below the surface of the earth. While 1t is believed that no practical attempts to utilize this subterranean heat have yet been carried into effect, there ap- pears to be no good reason why the at tempt should not be made, especially in volcanic regions, where quite high tenn peratures should be revealed at moder- ate depths.
 In Colorado mining town an inter esting combination was recently ob- served which a little ingenuity might have converted into considerable source of power. Within 20 feet of each other were two springs, one of a tenn perature of nearly 200 degrees F. and the other not over 60, the flow of each being very uDiform and the temperature quite constant The theoretical efficiency might readily be determined from the we'll known law of thermodynamics and the use of one stream to yaporize and the other to condense some volatile liquid, such as ammonia or bisulphide of carbon, might enable fair percen- tage of the energy to be utilized which Is now running to waste. --Gassier $ Magazine.

 Walters Big Switch.

1t happened in Missouri school Little Dick had been caught throwing paper wads. and the teacher ordered him to step forward Dick came reluctantly, hanging his head
 Who would like to go out and get q switch for me-"
 Instantly every boy i'll school rose up i'll his seat and lifted his hand as high as he could. Getting switches was 2 keen joy.
 You may go, Walter, ' said the teacher and Walter strutted out very proud indeed A few minutes later he came back with a huge switch and handed it proudly to the teacher. The larger the switch the more excitement there might be when the teacher came to use 1t. The errand being done, Walter went back to his seat and sat virtuously looking on.
 Dick was switched In the course of the punishment he jumped up and down and screamed good deal. The switch struck his shoe and suddenly snapped off short The end went whizzing across the room straight for Walters seat, where 1t hit him squarely on the nose, cutting q slight gash

 Leap frog, bombay, foot and a halt and sailors bombay are all ferns of that game where boy ties himself into knot and lets his companions dig their knuckles into the muscles of his spine and leap over him. Leap frog is a sim pie jumping of one boy over another.

A Meeting With Gentle Hearted Woman
 Backed by Ferocious Dog.
 .'At the foot of the stairs in the front hall of farmhouse one night, said the retired burglar, 'I stumbled over something soft that turned out to be Il feather bed If I had had grain of sense at all, should have suspieioned something from that, but 1 didn't. I. looked as though it had been just tum- blea down stairs and left there to be carried eff in tic morning, and l let it go at that and stepped into it and over it to the first step of the stairs and on up.
 Stepping up OH the fourth step, kicked against a string stretched across the stairs aud broke it. That made ms suspicious, but l never connected the feather bed at the foot of the stars with it. I looked mp. I expected it to be connected with something there. And 1t was, and it was coming down the stairs at me and filling up the whole stairway. 1t was big feather bed. Even then I didn't see that the one coming down had anything to do with the one down on the floor, and at the same time I couldn't understand why anybody should roll anything like q feather bed down on anybody-bull1y, to be sure, but so light that it was an easy thing to stop.
 T put up my hands to stop this one, but might just as well have tried to stop a mountain. 1t was soft and squashy on the outside, but it weighed ton. It just bowled me right Over backward, and 1 fell on the other featli- CT bed at the foot of the stairs. Then 1 began to understand what that one was for. It was to save the bones of the man that was tumbled over by the ava lanche bed.
 e.I lay there nearly smothered by thu bed on top and working out from under it gradually.
 .''I hope you are not hurt?' I heard somebody say from over the railing along the hall up stairs, and l said, No, ma am, because it was q female voice, and I am always polite to the ladies, but would you mind telling me what's inside the one that came down?'
 Oh, she said, fits the summer range, with the fatirons inside Can you lift it off, or shall I let the dog come down and help you?'
 And with that heard dog scratch ing up stairs. supposed it started him up to hear himself spoken of, and 1 judged from the sound of his claws on the carpet that he must have been about the size of tiger and of about the same kind of disposition.
 No, says, I can get clear of it. And 1 did and stood up in the hall

 And hearing the dog still scratch ing up stairs, I said, No, won t. And 1 didn't. The lady appeared to be gentle hearted enough, but I knew you couldn't trust the dog. New York Sun.

It was indeed perfect day. I scarce recall She weather, But autuian calm and bloom of May Seem mingled liisls iogetlier.

bounds into the ring. AS he passes
under the rail a steel barb, with rib
bons attached, showing the breeders
colors, is fastened in his shoulder. He
gallops to the middle Of the ring, stops,
and looks about with e n aston
ishment. He is a grand-looking beast.
Surprise. and fear give way to rage,
he paws the earth and snorts in his
frenzy, and discovering the red cloak
Of the capeador, starts toward him on
the run. The man goes over the fence,
but not too quickly, for he has hardly
disappeared before the bulls horns
are thurst through the boards. The
animal turns and spies a horse whose
day has come; the picador, with his
lance. is totally unable to keep the
bull from goring, and it is killed On the
spot. The horses are not valuable

the horses to be removed.
SKILL VS.. BRUTE STRENGTH.
Now the really interesting
feature of the perforrnance-the thrust
ing of the bandilieras. The bull is
alone with his tormentors, and the
contest becomes one of skill and brute
strength. A bandillera is a dart about
two feet and a half long. On the end
is a very sharp, barbed point. The

the animal, and, without flag or cloak,
await the attack. The bull, m%addened
at his audacity, starts at him at full
speed, the man steps out of his way
gracefully, and skillfully thursts the
bandilleras in the bulls shoulders as
he passes. AS sOon as the animal can
check his headlOng speedhe turns, now
furious with rage, only to find another
bandillerO with two more bandilleras.
These and two more are thurst into
his shoulders. Believing now, he is
wild.
Another signal from the president
instructs that the PULL has had enough
and must be killed. This is where the
matador, the primer espada, disting-

the bull by a single thrust Of the sword
determines the brilliancy Of the star.

The synopsis covers the outbreak from
its inception, with all the bureau orders.
reports from surgeons and boards of
health, etc, concerning the status of the
fever at the various points.
The bulletin says: A brief synopsis of
the occurrence of yellow fever in the
south is given as follows: Beginning
with the report of Passed Assistant Sur
geon Wasdin, of September 4th, stating
that the situation at Ocean Springs need
ed investigation, and his detail to proceed
to that place and make an investigation
in connection with members of the Mobile
boards of health and his subsequent re-
port OF September 9Th. stating that an
autopsy made by himself confirmed the
diagnosis of yellow fever, the reports of
state boards concurring. Precautions
were at once taken by the bureau, direct
ing Passed Assistant Surgeon Wasdin to
arrange for a Gordon, employ necessary
help and turn matters over to Surgeon
Murray on his arrival. and to notify the
railroad agents until a Gordon should be
established to sell tickets only to points
north Of Nashville. or points in mountain
Gus districts, and to keep a record of all
persons leaving, with points of their des-
tination, notifying the local authorities"
After detailing the assignment of sur
geons to various points, the synopsis pro-
ceeds: 1.-THE total number of cases at
Ocean Springs September Sth, was two
in a sick list of forty persons. and one
from New Orleans, whose illness, it is
stated, commenced at Ocean Springs.
Train inspection at the Alabama line was
established on the 9th. On the same day
yellow fever was reported at Scranton,
Mississippi, and several suspicious cases
in one locality in New Orleans were ex-
amined by experts of the Louisiana state
board of health, train inspection on the
Louisiana line having been inaugurated
several days previously by the Louisiana
board. On the tenth, six new cases were
reported by the three physicians at
Ocean Springs. The suspicious case at
Scranton was examined by DR.. Guiteras
and reported to be yellow fever. On the
10th, Surgeon Carter reported a case at
Perkinston, Miss, contracted at Ocean
Springs"
The report then refers to the twelve
suspicious cases reported at ST. Claude
street, New Orleans. No positive
diagnosis of fever was made; nine of the
cases recovered, the remaining three

The situation at Mobile, Biloxi and Ed
wards is referred to and the many Off
