ZACHARY TAYLOR'S FACE.
1t Appears Now as 1t Did When the
Body Was Entombcd.

On Tuesday, April 27, while New
Workers were doing honor to the mem
ory of Gen. 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 graveyard scarcely q stones
throw beyond the limits of Louisville,
KY. Accompanied by a Louisville un-
dertaker, they were making their an
nual visit to the tomb to inspect the
metallic case to see that every joint was
sealed so as to prevent the air from
entering. .....
The glass covering the face of the dead
executive is always exposed at these
times. The face was wonderfullyI'pre-
served, and the features looked, but for
a few wrinkles, just as they did At years
ago. The face was as white as marble,
and everything about the body seemed
to be unchanged and perfectly pre-
served.
The Taylor family burial ground is
| two miles northeast OF St. Matthews,
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 first president
| at Mount Vernon, none of the executives
of the United States lies in a more
beautiful spot than does Gen. Zachary
| Taylor.
The burial ground is within 300 yards
of the old Taylor homestead. 1t is
within 200 yards of the Brownsboro
pike, and occupies exactly an acre. 1t
slopes to the cast, and is surrounded by
a fvc-soot wall of stone. This wall has
stood for many years, but rot a sign Of
decay or carelessness in its keeping
can be seen. 1t stan solid and firm
and gives promise of standing for a
century yet.
Just to the east of the entrance is
the vault which contains TIE BODY Of
the cx-president. 1t is ore OF those old
fashioned, plain vaults, which are now
seldom seen. 4 covering Of myrtle

Automobile vehicles in Warfare.
writ or in the ReyIn Tech nirJIp viveS

A writer in the Revue Technique gives
some very interesting figures relating
to the cost of horses in military service
and makes out strong case for the use
of motor wagons for such purposes.
He advances arguments to show that
electricity as power is being debarred
from such service, owing to the i'm
practicability of properly charging in
the field or en- route, so that steam and
petroleum motors alone remain. and
between these steam has the preference
for great powers, at least, since the
petroleum motors at present have not
proved satisfactory above ten-horse
power. Iron tires alone meet the re-
quirements of this service. Practical
ly all automobile vehicles for military
service must be carefully designed
steam traction engines capable of draw
ing trains wherever horses can go. In
the opinion of the writerit is probable
that machinery in warfare E.;i,r soon
, enter the field service as extensively
as it has already entered other depart
ments.-Chicago Chronicle.

STRIKES ON TExADA ISLAND.
New Finds of Copper Pyritfc Ore
Near the Raven Mine

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer.
NANAIAfO, +. C. April i4-There have
been two important new strikes on Tex
ada island during the past few days which
will add In large degree 10 the outside
interest which is being aroused in mining
on the island. One OF the finds is on the
east coast of the island, and about two
miles from the well-kao-yn Raven mine.
The find is OF fine twelve or ffteen-foot
ledge of heavy copper pyritic ore, which
is covered by Gaping of ABOUT two feet
OF iron ore. The ledge can be traced for
over /. 800 feet and promises TO be one OF
the most productive on the island. A
claim called the Iron Duke has been To-
Gated on the lead by A. Popplewell and
r. dIindmarst. of Nhnaimo. No assays Of
quartz or development work have yet been
made on this property.
Another discovery of somewhat SINH
lar copper lead TO the Iron Duke and Raw
en- has been made about four miles from
the Raven in the opposite direction 10 the
Iron Duke. and about loo feet from sea
level The ledge here exposed gives indi-
cations OF being a large bodied and rio
de posit OF copper ore. On this are the
Faith AMI Charity claims also located by
Nsnaimo barties. Development work viii
be commenced on these claims at once.
and the results will be considered OF i'm
portance.
