SERIOUS BRITISH LOSS IN INDIA.
A Force Attacked While Returning to
 Calnp-Fifty Men Killed.

A Force Attacked While Returning to
 Camp-Fifty Men Killed.
 simla, Nov. 1o.--Oftlcial dipatches re- ceived here to-day from the British camp in the Maidan Valley say that a force, commanded by Brigadier General Westmacott, and consisting of the Dor setsh1re regiment, the Northampton shire regiment, a regiment of sikhs, and two batteries of artillery, moved yes terday to Saran-Sar, and reached the summit of the mountain with little re- slstance. There the troops found a hastily evacuated camp, and soon after retired upon the main body.
 This movement, however, was attend ed by serious losses to the British The insurgent tribesmen followed after the column in strong force, swarming from behind the rocks, showing wonderful audacity, and keeping up a. heavy fire at short range. Only the admira ble disposition made by General Westma- colt of his troops saved the rear guard The general personally held the men together and saw all the wounded talk en away before he retired himself
 On the way back to camp the trans port of the wounded was greatly ham, pered by the fact that the troops had to retire over fearfully broken coun- try surrounded on all sides by swarms of the enemy's skirmishers. The route was intersected every one hundred yards or so by deep ravines, and it was while the troops were engaged in pass ing through this ground that the tribes men rushed upon the troops, fearlessly making their way up the ravines to close quarters The Northamptonshire regiment suffered the most, their cas- ualties being mainly incurred while saving their wounded. All the wound ed reached camp at about dark, and it is still hoped that the missing officer and twelve men will reach camp safe- ly.
 The loss of the British was about fifty men. Of this number the North amptonshire regiment lost Lieutenant Waddell and four men killed, and Lieu tenant MacIntire of this regiment and twelve men are missing. The North amptonshires also had Lieutenant Trent and thirty men wounded. The Dorsetshire regiment had Lieutenant Ingram, Lieutenant Mercer and six men wounded. The sikhs lost two men killed and had six men wounded

tutional, the conclusion was immediate ly leaped to that to-day's decision had also denied the constitutionality of the law.
 Apparently this conviction was main tained in the stock market until the close of trading, although the decision distinctly disclams that it is passing upon the constitutionality of the law, as it is not necessary for the absolute determination of the question before it. However, the Wall street interpretation of the decision gave a very strong up- ward impetus to all stocks affected by the law. The coalers were most mark edly affected as being the subject of special suit under trial, and they show ed gains extending to 31a points in the case of Delaware and Hudson. Every industrial stock on the list was also sharply affected by this report in view of the fact that the statute was under stood to be directed against these great combinations of capital. Cotton oil preferred was benefited to the extent of 4 points Tobacco SIS, Sugar nearly 2 points and others to the extent of point or over.
 But the strength of the market was by no means confined to these stocks, though the general strength was in part due to sympathy with them Much was made of the declaration by the Spanish prime minister as to the friend l ly intentions of this government toward this and of the reports from Washing

Course of Prices About Uninterrupted.
 New York, Nov. 10-Prices of stocks to-day made very substantial recoveries towards the level before the heavy de- clines of last Monday and Friday. The buying was strong and confident and the upward course of prices, except in a few cases, was precisely uninterrupt- ed all day until some profit taking at the close brought recessiOns from the best prices. The factor of greatest in fiuence was the decision of the appel late division of the supreme court at Albany in the matter of the coal trust inquiry. Reports of this decision nad It that the decree of the lower court in reyoking it's own order, compelling the coal trust presidents to appear before a referee, had been affirmed. As the lower court in revoking this order had distinctly expressed it's opinion that the so-caIIed antitrust law was unconsti-

775Ts YEARS APPLE YIELD

Reports received by the New England Homestead indicate that the apple yield in Connecticut has been a poor one, many towns showing only 10@15 per cent. that of year ago, quality poor, amount available for shipment very small, prices s1.50@s3 per barrel when desirable. This holds good in practi- cally every county in the state and also of Rhode Island. New England will not make a brilliant record this year in apples.

The remperlne Of Springs.

1t is nice job to temper a steel
spring properly. Like many other
things, the preparatory work should be
we'll done or the tempering proper will
never De success. The forge work
should be done with a rather low tenn
perature and gentle taps. Smiths are
beginning to understand that very
many bits of forging have the life
pounded out of them by heavy and
continuous beating. Light taps smooth
the surface and create what is equiv
alent tc cuticle over the metal. This
should be carefully preserved. Light
hammering consolidates the particles
of steel and toughens the forging. It
is said that continuous, steady and
light blows with a hammer will mag
netize steel. It seems to put life into

do it at the outset and before much Of
the hammering is done. Do not put 1t
on an emery wheel. It breaks the Gu
ticle and destroys the integrity Of the
metal. The hardening may be done by
heating large piece of iron to q red
heat. then putting the spring on the
iron until it is heated through. An
other way is to hold the spring over a
bright fire until it is sufficiently hot.
It should be kept some distance from
the fire, SO as not to heat too quickly.
When It Is Of a light red and all Of a
color plunge it into cold water. Do
not use ice water, as is so often sug-
gested. Be careful in putting in the
spring that the sudden cooling of one
side does not draw it out of shape. If
1t is put in slowly it is warped by the
sudden cooling of one portion. When
fully tempered polish the spring with
emery cloth until it is thoroughly
cleaned and bright. Saturate a piece
of paper with oil, light it and allow
the smoke to collect on the spring un-
til it is entirely coated with the black.
Then heat it over the forge fire very
slowly. Do not let one part burn of
clean while the other is still black, but
let it disappear all over the spring at
the same time If possible. The perfec-
ton OF temper comes from slow and
careful handling and the utmost DELHI

Studying the Mushroom.

StuuyIuK CnO 0100nf0On1e
A club has been formed in New York
City, the members Of which are inter-
ested In all sorts of edible fungi. They
are to experiment and investigate all
forms of mushrooms and toadstools
with a view to furnishing Information
to those who have not the opportunity
for personal study. It Is thought that
a cheap food supply may be provided
through the medium Of these growths.
There is society in Boston, and there
are several in England. There are to
be lectures. exhibits and literature, and
interested persons will be taught to
distinguish between the harmless and
the poisonous sorts. There Is also
branch devoted to the study of the
best methods of preparing these arti-
cles for the table. The mushroom is
favorite delicacy with such large
number Of persons that any informa-
tion concerning it, or its more plentiful
and inexpensive supply, will no doubt
be greeted with enthusiasm.

The origin Of Petroleum.

Scientists are greatly engrossed in
the discussion of the origin of petro-
leum. Some of them contend that it
Is contemporaneous production; 9TH
ers insist that it is. and has been for
ages, stored in the great arteries of
the earth. The artificial production OF
petroleum has suggested that changes
of temperature and pressure may pro.
duce the various substances that 20 tc
make up this complex article. If one
pressure gives one ingredient and an.
other pressure produces another arti.
Gle, why is it not possible that away
down in mid-earth the currents and
counter-currents, with the varying con.
ditions of heat, cold, dryness, moisture
and pressure, may not be constantly at
work producing not only petroleum,
but other substances of which it is al.
together likely that we, up to the pres.
ent date. know little or nothing?

three small groups of people would
have remained hardly conscious Of each

have been no opportunity for that ac-
ton and reaction which is here set

to bind them together. To single him

ers the landlord had devised and laid
out a common lawn tennis ground.
which stretched behind the houses with
taut-stretched net, green close-cropped

lines. Hither in search Of that hard
exercise which is as necessary as air
or food to the English temperament,

from the toll Of the city; hither. too,

short-skirted, muscular widow and her
athletic nephew. Ere the summer was
gone they knew each other in this quiet
nook as they might not have done after
years Of sitter and more formal ac-
quaintance.
And especially to the admiral and
the doctor were this closer intimacy
and companionship of value. Each
had void in his life. as every man
must have who with unexhausted
strength steps out Of the great race, but
each by his society might help to fill up
that of his neighbor. It is true that
they had not much in common, but that
is sometimes an aid rather than bar
to friendship. Each had been an en-
thusiast in his profession, and had re-
tanned all his interest in 1t. The doctor
still read from cover to cover his Lam

Of what seemed obscure in this world
Ia so largely because we take
certain position for granted
and then argue from it. The
wave theory is admitted by all
scientists, and it is not impossible or.
indeed, improbable that intense thought
concentrated by one person upon q
sympathetic friend or associate should
produce a distinct impression and Gre
ate a telepathic current which should
convey brain waves to the mind of the
individual upon whom the thoughts
were centered. 1t is proposed to study
this subject and to make tests and ex-
periments with a. view to as
certain just how far this SYM
pathetic influence may extend. 1t
must not, however, be overlooked that
there are persons who are keenly sus-
ceptible to such impressions, while 9TH
ers are not easily affected by influences
of this nature.
