The Plays of Animals.

A German professor, Karl Groos, has
written book ON the plays" of ami
mails, in which he undertakes to show
that the desire to indulge in play is a
true instinct among the lower creatures.
AS in man, the tendency to play is
stronger in young animals Professor
Groos divides animal sports into num-
ber of classes. Among them are: Play
hunting, i'll which the prey is some-
times such as the animal naturally
chases, and sometimes make be-
lieve;' play fighting, building play,
nursing play, plays of imitation and
others.

GOLD DISTRICT IN PERU.

Pcrils oS Travel Overcome by &Ineri-
car;s and Gtch Ore Brought Hack.
Wallace r. Hardison, head Of big
mining company in the new Peruvian
bonanza district, has written to friends
at Los Angeles, Cal, and the letters
show that he will return to California
within two months. Hardison organ
lied n $3,OC0,0oo syndicate in New York
and last summer left Los Angeles for
Peru with J. X. Cries, of Nordhof, Cal.
Hardison took mining machinery
enough for equipment of q large mill
for reduction of ores. The country
where the mines are located is so rough
that all the machinery had to be packed
by Indian carrier, the trails being too
unsafe even for mules. Cries found the
journey so difficult that he turned baclI
before the mines were reached and re-.
turned home. He brought with him
samples of ore from Hardison's mine
which are the richest ever seen in Cali
fornia. The ore is black quartz which
carries phenomenal proportion of
gold. Hardison was accompanied by
100 American miners.

Charlotte Smith, the reformer and
protector Of women, who made her
presence known in New York last year,
has prepared memorial for congress,
which she intends 20 have before that
body.
Mrs. Smith believes in making mar

acted to that effect. She wants in
yestigations to be made of the present
conditions of women in the factories,
claiming that the manufacturers, after
getting AN increase in the tariff, pro-

She suggests the establishing of Ia
'tional matrimonial bureaus throughout
the country and having all the mar
Tiageable men toe the gnark.
In mood Of discomfort she appeals
for an appropriation, ammunition and
rations for 100000 women, SO they may
reach the gold fields in Alaska and re-

Euggests the advisability of setting

SHORT CUT TO KLONDINE.
Civil Engineer Tolls o? o Nearer
Route to Gold Fields.
Says That Il; Small S9vrcnsc 1t Could
Bc GnrucI up Stories of
Other Rich Gald
DinsTicts,

There is short and easy route TO
the rich gold fields of the Klondilic, ac-
Gurding TO Il communication to the in
fcrior department at Washington from
q. NJ. G. Lewis, civil engineer of Sa-
3cm, Ore, who says he can open up
mt small expense II route from the
Touth of the Copper river, by which
fhe ElondiEe may be reached by jour
ney of not much more than 500 miles
6rom the coast.
The route which he proposes will
start inland from the mouth of the
Copper river, near the Miles glacier,
about 25 miles east OF the entrance to
Prince William sound. He says that
Copper river is navigoble for small
steamers for many miles beyond the
mouth of it's principal eastern trib-
;utary. called on the latest maps the
Ghillyna river which is itself nayigable
for considerable distance. From the
Dead of navigation on the Chillyna Mr..
Nevis says either highway or 4 rail
road could be constructed without
great difficulty or very heavy grades,
Through what the natives call the "low
pass" probably the Scoloi pass From
this pass the road would follow the
galley of the White river to the point
where it empties into the Yukon, on the
edge of the klondike gold fields.
George f. Becker, in an unpublished
report made to the geological survey
of his investigation in 1895 of the
Saeastal gold districts, says that most Of
the islands of the Alexander archipel-
ago contain gold deposits. yet un-
worked, that would probably repay
very handsomely we'll directed efforts
of placer mining. These deposits are

mainland.
Another fairly promising region is
Rn a group of deposits on the Kenai
peninsula, on the southeast shore of
Cook inlet and at Yakutal Coay and the
Beaches of Kadiak island. These re-
gions have as yet been exploited only
tn limited degree, ewing to the un-
favorable physical condition of the
coast.

FoRwoMEN LEARNING TO SWIM
Pneumatic Corset Under Eathinw Suit
Keeps Novice AHont

Keeps Novice A1Ont.
II beginners in swimming have great
difficulty in rapid improvement on nc.
/ count of the utter lack of self-con.
iidence and fear of drowning. The
movements are comparatively easy to
learn, but the courage to strike out into
deep water is necessary in order to be
successful. Hitherto the only thing
which has given such confidence was
the great ugly cork life preserver.
which kept ones head high and dry,
perhaps, but which prevented the prop
,er use of the arms, and was, besides,
decidedly uncomfortable. The rubber
rings which can be tied about the body
are much pleasanter than the cork af-
fairs, but they are objected to because
they are in the way of the free move
ments of the arms.
A new arrangement which is just put
upon the market, and which lacks all
the disadvantages of the old methods
of enforcing courage, and still has all
the advantages desired, Is pneumatic
corset. This is not a bunglesome af-
fair, but fits quite closely to the body
under the bathing suit, like any ord-
nary corset, and is q support to the fig
ure, especially if corpulent, adding but
little to the size of the wearer.
This is far ahead Of any old style
arrangement, and one Is not reduced
to the necessity of taking @ few dry
land lessons in swimming while sIs-
pended across hammock. All the ex-
erciscs may be practiced in the water.
Familiarity with the feeling of the wa
ter about the neck and head, with the
sense of security given by the corset,
will soon take away all fear, and then
one may discard it. 1t has always
seemed too much to expect of anyone
to leave fear behind before the art OF
swimming was fully mastered. This
new assistance to learning to swim is
most pleasant one.

Alexander Boessow, aged Al years,

CURES DRUNKENNESS.
Offenders Bncased in nm Empty Gan
TnnIk, Which In RnlIc. "a nd ncnfcn


Tank, Which lis Rolled and Dcntcn.
What is believed to DE the most orig
inal and unique method yet evolved to
bring an intoxicated man back TO a
sober condition is that in use at Wavcr-
ly, an oil town in Wood county, w. Va,
8, short distance south of Listersvlile.
When oil was first struck there among
the first people to arrive were the sa-
loon men, and drunkenness was a very
common occurrence on the streets of
Fthe little city until one night the chief
of police hit upon happy idea and
proceeded to put it into execution with
the help OF number of men about the
city whom he had put on.
In large vacant lot back of one of
the supply houses there was a huge
iron gas tank lying, and in one end of
it there was a hole just large enough to
admit of good-sized man being,put in.
a drunk was secured and the chief and
his assistants proceeded to give him
free dose of new jag cure. The fell
low was compelled to go along, and he
was showed through the hole in the tom
of the gas tank, and once in there. the
tank was rolled around nll over the lot.
and there was no chance for him to ret
out until the crowd got tired of the
sport and let him out of its own ac-
cord.
When the tank is started rolling a
number of the gang with stones, pieces
of pipe and clubs walk around with ii,
and as fast as possible zap the tank
gently with the weapon, and this, of
makes terrible noise. The sound of
the noise from the outside is ear-split-
ting, and what it is on the inside is
hard 10 conjecture. Quite number of
drunks have been treated to round of
pleasure in the gas tank, and none of
them have ever been known to get toe
much on board since, and some have
even quit drinking altogether.

William J. Bryan was asked to
give his opinion on the address is
sued by the Silver Republicans, and
in response said: X believe that
they are right in continuing a sepa-
rate organization as silver Republi-
cans. They were among the most
effective supporters of bimetallism
during the campaign, and since the
election they have stood mistaken
and undismayed. They do not con-
slider themselves Democrats and
Populists, and since they cannot
affiliate with the Republican party
while it stands for a gold standard
they have wisely decided to com
plete an organization and hold theil
forces together. In accepting the
nomination of the National SilveI
party | stated that we did not insis
upon the silver Republicans becom
ing Democrats, but that we accepted
their support with the understand.
ing that the same patriotism which
directed them in 1896 would b,
present to direct them in 1900.
