YELLOWSTONE LAKE, Wyo., Sept. O.
W. NJ. Hill, of Osawatomie, Kas., came
very near losing his life by falling into
the Yellowstone grand canyon. Hill
had descended the canyon to red rock,
below Point Lookout, and while
walking around, he slipped and started
to roll down the slanting wall of the
canyon, some 1900 feet in height. He
managed to roll over on his back, and
by digging his heels and elbows into
the sand, slackened his speed until he
struck a projecting ledge on the
brink of the ~precipice, 600 feet high.
He was discovered by a party of tour
lists. who lowered a rope to him and
pulled him up. With the exception of
q few scratches Hill escaped uninjured.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE
LUETGERT'S LAWYERS ATTACK
EXPERT TESTIMONY.

An Attempt to Cripple Prof. DOrsey's
Testimony of the Previous Day as
to His Assurance That the Bones
Submitted in Court Were Tho or

Womnn-Luetgert walks on
Clutches, Having Amused Himself
in a Boxing Bout.
Chicago, Sept. 16,-The day was given
over to expert testimony in the Luetgert
trial to-day, and the attorneys for the de-
Tense and the witnesses for the state
wrangled vigorously regarding femurs of
human beings, .femurs of sheep, and of
hogs. When court adjourned for the day
the fight was still on, and WIFI be resumed
tomorrow morning.
When court opened to-day the defend
ant came in upon pair of crutches. He
said that he had badly sprained ankle,
the result of a fan while sparring a
friendly bout with one of the guards in
the jail. The injury is painful and will
trouble him for some time.
The principal witness of the day was
Prof. Dorsey of the Field Columbian Mu-
scum, who took the stand for cross-exam-
nation. Attorney Vincent, for the de-
tense, made it his business to show the
jury that Prof. Dorsey did not know any
think about bones any how, and that he
was densely ignorant on the subject of
femurs Prof. Dorsey fought stoutly to
show that he knew what he was talking
about when he said yesterday that the
being, and very probably that of a female.
He made one correction, however, aud
said that when he testified yesterday that
the femur was that of the left leg, he had
Intended to say that it was for the right
leg.
Before Prof. Dorsey took the stand, DIR.
Norval Pierce, who had identified a bone
shown him as tKeleft temporal hone of a
female, was called to the stand. but his
cross-examination did not last for any
length of time. Then Attorney Vincent
announced that he was ready for the
cross-examination of Prof. Dorsey. The
examination abounded in technical terms,
and again and again the attorney tried 70
make the witness say that he was not
sure that the bone In question was the
femur of a human being but the witness
stuck to his first opinion. Then the attor-
ney tried to show that the femur was that
of a hog and again the witness baffied
him. Then the attorney tried the femur
of a sheep, and again he was defeated.
Then he offereda large collection of bones,
and wanted the witness to state from
what animal they had come.
The court took hand in the proceedings
at this point, and announced that there
are enough bones in this case already
without bringing in a lot of them that
have no connection with the case"

At the Bottom of the Deep Sea.
From Chambers Journal.

The bottom of the deep sea is indeed
entirely screened from the warmth and
light of the sun by the intervening mass
of water. on land we often experience that
the Intervention of clouds, which are sim
ply steam or divided masses of water, re-
suits In gloom and a fall of temperature
This effect is infinitely more intense at the
bottom OF the ocean, between which and
the sun there is interposed, not only for a
day or two a layer of cloud, but forever a
volume OF water often several miles thick
Even at fifteen fathoms from the surface
the light is much subdued, producing more
the appearance of pale moonlight than Of
sunlight, and experiments made with very
sensitive Photographic plates in the clear
water Of the lake OF Geneva have shown
that sunlight does not penetrate to the
greater depth there than 155 fathoms. In
the ocean and IN the tropics, where sun
shine is most intense, no light penetrates
beyond a depth of 200 fathoms Below this
all is dark
The suns heat. like its light, is also cut
of from the ocean depths in the same
manner. cousin OF the writer found that
in the Bay Of Bengal there Is a fall Of
temperature amounting to about degree
Fahrenheit for every ten fathoms from
the surface that the Thermometer sinks
At 200 fathoms he has found that the Their
mometer stands all the year round at 50
degrees Fahrenheit and al 1000 fathoms
il constantly registers about 90 degrees
Fahrenheit, or close upon freezing point
Il is curious to note that as we rise IN the
air in balloons or on mountain slopes the
temperature falls as we rise. and the same
occurs as we dive into the depths Of the
ocean, but In mines the heat increases as
we descend.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A New REMEDY which WIN DO II.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
many people to be nearly If not quite IN
durable. No good reason can be given
why they think so except that perhaps
they have tried various remedies without
much, If any benefit But the progress.
In every branch of medicine has been such
that among other things a lasting cure
for Indigestion in its chronic form as we'll

now placed before the public strictly on

stomach troubles or difhcultieS with the
digestive organs
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tablet
form so as to be easily taken and also to
preserve its good qualities for an indefinite
length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising eff
fects in the worst forms of Indigestion,
and in many cases where ordinary RENEE
dies failed to give even relief, Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets have fully cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fast that it

use.
II is 50 prepared and the ingredients are
of such a nature that when the tablets

The Palace Where the Csar Enter

The Palace where the Csar Enter
tained the French President
From the New York Tribune.
Peterhof, where the car entertained
the President of the French republic, may
be described as the Russian Versailles,
having been built on the same plans by
an italian arehitect, Count Charles Res
treln. Its situation is, however. much
more picturesque than the famous palace
Of King Louis XIV. For II stands on an
eminenee commanding a superb view OF
the Finnish coast, a distance about six
teen miles from the capital, on the shore
of the Gulf Of Finland. Although II dates
from the reign of Peter the Great, every
succeeding car and czarina has made
additions and improvements until the
tout ensemble slrpasses in beauty
well nigh every other imperial abode IN
Europe. The main building, WHICH is
three stories I'm hight, is constructed Of
marble and OF granite, the latter being
red, which contrasts with the whiteness
Of the former, while the roof and innumer-
able dornes are of iron, richly gilded. A
host OF minor PALACES, chapels and villas
surround Il. and serve to adorn the gar
dens, which are the great feature Of the
place. There are many terraces sloping
away to the sea, and every turn reveals
some lovely bit Of scenery, perhaps the
sea, perchance the glimpse of placid lakes,
then what might seem a nook Of some
nediaevel forest, and just beyond sue
cession OF rushing, roaring cataracts,
foaming and falling from rocks that APP
parently have been In their present condi-
ton as long as the world has been.
But finer even than the gardens are the
water works and fountains. Directly In

bronze figure of Samson tearing open the

The fact Is that the cities quarantning

Health OHicer at CarrabeIIe VIII Not
Allow the Alpha to Land.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 16.-It is under
stood here that DR.. Porter, state health
officer, on Tuesday wired the health au-
thorities at Carrabelle and Apalachicola
to enforce strict quarantine against in
fected points, especially directing them to
keep sharp watch for the steamer AL
pha from Mobile.
Parties from Carrabelle to-day say the
Alpha landed at Apalachicola and dis
charged freight yesterday. Last night
DR.. Anderson, quarantine officer at Cara
belle, went out in his launch to watch for
the Alpha, which came along about 10
o'clock.
DIR. Anderson informed the captain he
must go to quarantine. The captain re-
piled that he was going to Carrabelle.
DIR. Anderson told him he should not go
to the dock The captain anchored about
a quarter of a mile from the wharf and
remained there. 1t is said that the sight
of the Alpha caused persons to leave Car
rabelle one party bound for Apalachlcola
turned back from Carrabelle.
Gov Bloxham has wired the situation as
it came to him to DIR. Porter at Pensacola.
