For a Better Name.

The patrons of the Dusty postofhee do
not like the name. 1t is not pretty nor
is it appropriate. Indeed ii is hardly
suited to any Willamette Valley locality,
except for brief period of the year.
1t is surely ara ugly word for the beau
tiful country surrounding the postofhce,
and the efforts of the residents to have a
more acceptable aane given to tlla Office
will be approved by everybody. A
largely signed petition will be sent to
the department, and uEder the present
administration it may be effective.
Bellfountain is the old nan,e of the
precinct and that Is the name desired for
the postefdce. When the office was es-
tablishea the authorities at Washington
weuld not accept Bellfountaiu al the

was substituted. Dusty cast very large

A Dog as n witness.

The deg refused to be sworn. It had
a sort of Quakerlike simplicity and only
affirmed, but its testimony was sufli-
cient to decide a case in Justice Mar
tins courtroom.
The animal was a large, stately ard
intelligent Irish setter. After the hui
man itigants had each told his tale, the
dog took the witness stand.
NOW, who is your masters" said L.
D. 10y, who had replevined the dog
from Fred Enderlm, South Side saloon
keeper ON June 20.
The brute barked, sprang out Of the
witness chair and paved at the feet Cf
10y. The animal then went through
various performances at the bidding of
10y, including running across the street
and back at his command. The dog
would not act for the other liugart, and
the court decided that he belonged to
10y. The animal was then released
from the custody of Constable Roobuck.
He wagged his tail at the judge and left
the courtroom with his master. CHI

FIRE ALARM BOXES.

Tho Mechanism That Summons Help In
Case OF Fire.
Charles T. Hill contributes an article
entitled "An Alarm Of Fire by Tele-
graph" to Sc. Nicholas, describing the
Ere alarm system Of New York. Con
corning the fire alarm boxes Mr.. Hill
writes: This box forms part Of a lamp
post the post being so constructed that
the box is inserted in the middle The
box is painted a bright red, and the
lamp at night shows red light, thus
milking it easily discernible either by
day or night. The wires from the box
are conveyed down through the center
of the post TO conduits buried in the
street and thence ON to fire headquarters.
White letters on a red pane of glass,
in the lamp over the box, give directions
how to send an alarm. The same direc-
tions in raised letters are found on the
face Of the box. If we turn the large
brass handle on the outside as far as it
viii 90, loud gong viii ring inside.
This is not the alarm, but simply a
warning bell to notify the policeman ON
the beat that the box is being opened
and to prevent the sending in Of mali
cious or false alarms OF fire, an offerse
that is punishable in New York state
by o fine Of 500 and one years impril-
onment Turning this handle as far as
it will go opens the outer door, and we
find inside another door with a slot at
the left hand side, and at the top Of thi.
slot hook projecting. BY pulling down
this hook once and releasing it we sci
at work certain clockworb mechanism
inside, and this sends in the alarm.
When the first officer arriving at {
fire discovers that it is Of enough i'm
portance TO warrant his sending for re
endorsements, he opens this inner dooi
and with the Morse key sends in a SEQ
ond. third, fourth, fifth or sixth alarm

The invisible radiations from heated
body possess the power Of effecting cor-
tain chemical decompositions much after
the manner Of lights, as, for instance,
III photography. Among the substances
sensitive TO weak radiations of heat may
bc mentioned paper saturated with Gu
plio bromide, or a mixture OF sulphate
rf copper and potassium bromide, which
has a faint greenish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, if
green is used a brown image can be OBJ
tanned in minute by exposing to the
radiations from gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason of the reduction
of the silver Bichromated paper is af-
fcctcd by radiant heat, rs by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sGlphate
Of copper yields a fceblo image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. a mixture of sulphate Of
copper and oxalic acid gives a paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorato of copper is also very sensitive,
tho faint blue color becoming a deep
green. Similarly used bromide Of tin
behaves as If exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black whom
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate Of
silver, which is markedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone or gallic acid

sANDBOX TREES.

Have Explosive Fruits.
Everybody is familiar with the
touch me not, " the pretty jewel weed
that grows along the side Of water
courses. When its seed pods are ripe, at
the slightest touch they will explode,
blowing the seeds in your face. The
giant among them is the sandbox tree
(Hura crcpitans), a native of tropical
America. Its furrowed fruits are as
large as an Grange. Cosmos Of Paris
thus describes this Krupp gun Of the
vegetable world:
1T is often cultivated as an orna-
mental tree, both in its native country
and in other parts Of the globe, notably
in certain gardens in the Indies. Its
fruit looks on the outside something like
melon; it is formed exactly like that
Of our native euphorbias, Of sections,
which at maturity separate violently
with so intense a report that it has been
compared to the sCund cf "a pistol,
throwing its seed TO considerable dis
tancc
With the fruit very pretty sand
box can be made by cutting q circular
opening in the upper part, extracting
the seeds and then covering the open
ing The opposite side is perforated
with little holes. A sandbox thus made
is very difficult to keep, for the time al
ways comes when, aided by the drying
process, the sections suddenly split, with
a characteristic sound.
"The violent splitting of. the fruit oi
the sablier is explained very simply by
n process analogous to that which causes
the two halves Of split stick TO cur
apart and depends upon the unequa
extensibility of the elements Of tn,

Making Marbles.

Marbles arc manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
At the marble quarries the refuse stone
is broken by hand into small cubes. A
bushel or more Of these is poured into a
great revolving cylinder, which is sup
piled with water from faucet The
cylinder is reyolved at q high rate OF
speed, and the cubes, by atrition, are
ground down to the tiny spheres which
give such delight TO the hearts of the
boys. From one TO two hours are usu-
ally required to finish a lot Of marbles,
and they are afterward sorted according

RICHARD III.
He Never injured the Masses md Was
Not Unpopular with Them.


If Richard be tried by the only proper
standard, that of his own time, he viii
be found to be not more but less cruel
and bloody than either his predecessors
OF those who came after him. The act
which has especially blackened his
memory is the mysterious removal or
murder Of the princes. Yet Clifford,
backed by Margaret Of Anjou, had kill
ed in cold bleed Richards brother, the
Earl Of Ruthland, boy Ct lG, while
Henry VII imprisoned and executed the
feeble minded Earl of Warwick, the son
Of Clarence. In mere numbers Of exc
cutions, excluding Of course, on both
sides those who were taken III open re-
bellion, Richard has much less TO an
swer for than Queen Margaret on Henry
VII and far less than Henry VIII, who
put to death anybody who happened TO
be distasteful to him ON political, per-
sonal or religious grounds There was
no public opinion in that day against
putting TO death any one who had played
and lost in the great struggle Of politics.
Executions were a recognized part Of
tho business. When the game went
against statesman in those days, as
Mr.. Speaker Reed once said, he did not
cross the aisle and take his place as the
leader Of his majesty's opposition; he
was sent to the tower and had his head
cut off. Autres temps, autres mours.
At every turn of the wheel in the long
struggle between the Lancastrians and
the Yorkists the victorious party al
ways executed every leader Of the other
side upon whom they could lay hands.
Such were the rules of the society and
such the politics in which Richard was
brought up, and he played according tc
those rules and without excess, paying
the final forfeit himself with undaunteo
courage
Nothing is farther from the trutf
than the notion that Richard was un
popular with the masses of the people
He had never injured them, and tho
did not care how many mobiles or prime
he put to death. Hon. Henry Cabo

1t is really surprising in how high
ATTITUDES are to be found animals that

the reindeer, the hare and the lemming
belong to this order, and they are all

These creatures have to feed under

They remove the covering with the hoof
or the paw, as we sometimes see sheep
paw the snow from grass and feed over
large pieces of ground even when the
snow is several inches in depth.
The reindeer and the musk OK, on the
other hand, live where the ground is
covered with snow almost all the year
round. AS they rove over u wide ex-
panse of territory it is not to be sup.
posed that they become familiar with

Under such conditions they must be-
guided III their search either by the

have rather favored the opinion that
these animals relied upon the appear.
ance Of the snow.
As showing the power of the sense of
smell in another order Of creatures, Sir
John Ross relates that he shot II hare
in autumn during violent snowstorm,
which buried it out of sight and pre-.
