The Hotchkiss Machine Gun.

W. have heard much of the Maxim
machine gun within the last year or
two, during which little wars with saw
age men have brought that terrible
engine of slaughter into prominence.
But the Maxim is now eclipsed by the
new Hotchkiss machine gun, which is
said to be more efficient in action. to
require no water Jacket to cool its bar
rel, and to consist of much fewer COM
ponent parts. The new gun is made
in three types; for field, mountain, or
naval use; it weighs about thirty-three
pounds, and can fire single cartridges
or rain them upon an enemy at the
rate of five hundred per minute. The
weapon has an ordinary steel barrel,
with a second closed barrel beneath it.

hole not far from the muzzle. When
the bullet passes this hole, part of the
gas generated by the charge passes
through, and drives back a piston in
the lower barrel. This piston throws
cut the empty cartridges, inserts a
rev one, and fires the gun, and so the
action oes on SO long as the piece is
fed with cartridges.

FASHION NOTES,

The fashionable tint for lace is that
of ripe corn, more Of a buff than the
butter color of last spring. 1t is ex-
ceedingly rich looking.
Princess gowns crop up just as per-
sistently as poke bonnets. 1t is not
likely that they will take, since so few
women look well in clothes of such Sc
we're cut.
Cashmere is coming into vogue
again. Dealers say that it's return Is
being greeted with enthusiasm. There
never was a more manageable or
graceful material.
If a woman wishes to be at the height
of Partisan fashion she must tilt her
hat over her nose, wear a twist of
tulle under her chin, put on tightly
fitting sleeves and innumerable little
frills all over her gown.
Narrow velvet ribbon is used on
everything. An imported cape of old
ros silk has rows of black velvet rib
bon running down it at intervals of
about an inch. Round the shoulder
the silk is plated in so thickly that
at the neck nothing is visible except
the ribbon.
The new shoes for day wear in Lon
don have flaps and large buckles; those
for evening wear are cut very low and
ornamented with tiny steel buckles.
Colored kid shoes are in high favor
rose tints, heliotrope in many shades,
green's of every hue and China blue
taking the lead. Unless the colors are
we'll chosen the effect is strikingly
vulgar.

once more the fashion there. 1t is
made generally in lisse or chiffon, very
wide at the back and decreasing in
size at the front. Some ruffs, however,
are of the same width all around. The
most gigantic OF these rufus extends to
the ears and is finished with a 1ounco
of plated chiffon reaching to the waist.
This ruff is said to be a comfortable
substitute for the fur boa.

named wovoka about IA years Of age.
This youth, who afterward became the
Messiah, became attached to the fam
lily of a ranchman in Mason Valley
named David Wilson, who took an In
terest in him and bestowed on him the
name of Jack Wilson, by which he is
commonly known to the whites. From
his association with this family he
gained some knowledge of English, to-
gether with a confused idea of the
white mans theology. On growing up
he married and continued to work for
Mr.. Wilson. but attracted no special
notice until nearly 80 years of age,
when he announced a revelation that
has made him famous among the tribes
of the west.
In 1852-or 1853 a prophet known as
Long Nose arose among the Winneba-
go, and announced he had been in
structed in a vision to teach his peo-
pie a new dance which he called the
friendship dance. In 1870 another
prophet arose among the Paiute in
Nevada. He is said to be the father
Of the present Messiah" who has un-
~questionably derived many Of his
ideas from him, and lived, as does his
son, in Mason Valley, about 60 miles
from Virginia City. The latter told
Mr.. Mooney that his fathers name was
Tavibo. or white Man." and that he
was a petty chief, but not a prophet
or preacher, although he used to have
visions and was invulnerable. There
seems to be no doubt that he did
preach and prophesy, and introduce a
new religious dance among his peo-
pie, and the doctrine which he promul-
gated and the hopes he held out 20
years 6 were the foundation on
which his son has built his present
Messiah religion.
He was visited by Indians from Ore
gon and Idaho, and his teachings were
felt among the Bannock and Shoshoni,
as we'll as among the scattered band
of Paiute. to whom he continued to
preach until his death.

Cement Roofing.

Many experiments have been made
with cement or plaster roofings of va
rious kinds, but with rather indiffer-
ent success, probably because a suit
able foundation for this material has
not been provided. There is no reason
why a roof should not be plastered and
be as durable as the side wall of a
dwelling. To insure this, however. il
is necessary to use heavier lumber
tlan is ordinarily put into roofs, and
this must be bolted or securely spiked
in order that there may be no motion
to it. Among the latest ideas in this
line is a roofing frame, made some
what on the principle of a window
sash, the cross-pieces leaving openings
through which the plaster is pressed
having locks similar to those in Mas
tered walls. A combination of cement
gravel and plaster has been used in
this way with marked success. The
Columbian Exposition gave builders a
great many ideas about plaster. the
staff" as it was called, having proven
extremely durable and satisfactory in
every way as long as there was no
motion or working of the foundation
on which it rested. 1t Is very evident
that small surfaces can be successfully

some of then recent delegates to Wo-
voka, Mr.. Mooney states that he dis
covered something of Wovoka's hyp-
motto methods, and incidentally learned
how much of miracle depends on the
mental receptivity of the observer. Tall
Bull, one of the Cheyenne delegates
and captain of the Indian police, said
before leaving they asked Wovoka to
give. some proof Of his supernatural
powers. Accordingly he had ranged
them in front of him, with his sombre-
70 between and his eagle feathers in
his hand. Then with a quick move
ment he had put his hand in his empty
hat and drawn out from it something
black. Tall Bull would not admit
that Anything more had happened.
Black Coyote, one Of the Arapaho dele
gates and also a police officer, related
the same incident, but with a different
sequel. and told how when the Mes
siah had waved his feathers over his
hat and withdrew his hand, Black
Coyote looked into the hat, and there
saw the whole world"
The great underlying principles of
the ghost dance doctrine is that the
time will come when the whole Indian
race, living or dead, will be reunited
upon a regenerated earth, to live a life
of aboriginal happiness, forever free
from death, disease and misery. On
this each tribe has built a structure
from its own mythology. All this is
to be brought about, not through war,
but by an overruling spiritual power.
Some apostles here even declare that
all race distinctions are to be obliter-
ated and the whites are to participate
with the Indians in the coming felicity.
Different dates are assigned to the
coming of the millennium. From the
Cheyenne and Arapaho delegates Mr..
Mooney obtained a letter containing q
message or statement of doctrine de-
livered to them by Wovoka in 1891,
and written down on the spot by one
Of the Arapaho delegates. Casper Ed
son, a young man who had acquired
some English education at the govern
ment Indian school at Carlisle. Mr..
Mooney highly eXtols the moral code
~inculcated as pure and comprehensive
in its simplicity, and states that the
prophet has given these people a bet
ter religion than they ever had before,
taught them precepts which, if faith
fully carried out, will bring them in
better accord with their white neigh
bors, and has prepared the way for
their 1inal ChristianiZation.
He has traced the progress of the
doctrine through the various tribes of
the United States, and gives an approx
innate statement as to the area of the
dance and the number of Indians in
volved. According to the latest Off
cial reports, there are about LAG, 900 In
dians west of the Mississippi river, ex-
elusive of the five civilized nations In
Indian Territory. Probably all of
these tribes heard of the new doctrine,
but only a part took an active interest

in II. Some thirty or thirty-fve tribes,
more or less concerned. have an ag-
gregate population Of about 60, 0
souls. A number were practically
unanimous in accepting the new doc
trine, notably the Paiute, Shoshoni,
Arapaho, Cheyenne, Caddo and Paw
nee, while of others, as the Comanche,
only a small minority ever engaged.
Only about one-half Of the $4,000 Sioux
took an active part in 1t. 1t may be
safely said, however, that the doctrine
and ceremony of the ghost dance found
more adherents among Il tribes than
any other similar religious movement
within the historic movement, except
possibly the crusade led by the Shaw
ano prophet in 1905. Among most of
these tribes the movement is already
extinct, having died a natural death,
excepting in the case of the Sioux.
The Sioux probably discontinued the
dance before the final surrender. as
the subsequent events convinced even
the most fanatical believers that their
expectations of invulnerable ability
and supernatural assistance were de-
ceptive.
The Paiutes were yet dancing a year
ago, and as their dream has received
no such rude awakening as among the
Sioux, they are probably still patient
ly awaiting the great deliverance in
spite of repeated postponements, al
though the frenzied earnestness of the
early period has long abated. The
Kiowas have recently taken up the
dance again and are dancing as reli-
giously as ever under the leadership
of the old men, although the progress
sive element in the tribe is strongly
opposed to it.
Among the other tribes in Oklahoma
the ghost dance has become a part of
the tribal life, and it is still performed
at frequent intervals, although the
feverish expectation of a few years ago
has now settled down into something
closely approaching the Christian hope
of a reunion with departed friends in
a happier world at some time in the
unknown future. AS to Wovoka, the
great Messiah, when last heard from
he was on exhibition as one of the at
fractions Of the Midwinter Fair in San
Francisco.

Writing Made Superfiuous.
A new and scientific method of re-
cording speech has at last been in
vented.
Our ordinary system of writing Is
an arbitrary and clumsy way of repre-
senting spoken words. A truly scien-
tlfic system would be one based on the
motions of the lips.
The newly Invented system is, in
fact, merely a record of these motions.
The writing is obtained by means of
an ingenious instrument called the
Autograph, or lip writer.
The Autograph is a French inven-
ton. One instrument is now in the
possession Of Dr. Arthur Mcdonald,
of the Bureau of Education in Wash
iLgton, who is making experiments
with it. 1t is a simple device. At
tached to an upright pedestal are a
pair of parallel tongs Of brass. The
forks are grooved on their outer sides
in order to fit the lips, and are fixed
at right angles to the pedestal. The
tongs are held open by a spring. AS
they are moved by the lips they COM
press a small bellows, to which Is at
tached a tube of considerable length.
The air driven through the tube passes
to another bellows which moves a re-
cCrder. This m in contact with a
revolving wheel covered with smoked
paper. The changing position of the
pointer traces an irregular line on the
paper somewhat similar to that pro-
dIced by the receiving instrument Of

All the navel orange orchards in CAL
ifornia are descended, as an account in
a contemporary informs us, from two
trees imported from Brazil by the Unit
ed States government and sent to the
Pacific coast thirty years ago. 1t is
suggested that these trees be removed
to some public park, and preserved as
a monument to a profitable branch Of
an industry which has so enriched
that state. The value of the yield thus
secured to California, could it be COM
puted, would be a sum sc great as to
make these trees seem like fairies, the
touch of whose wand has made gold

no form of religious revival among the
Indians has so much influence upon
the red man as the ghost dance. The
bureau of %ethnology at Washington,
through James Mooney, has for several
years past made a special study of the
ghost dance.
In 1890 Mr.. Mooney was preparing to
go to the Indian territory under the
auspices of the bureau of ethnology to
continue researches among the Chero-
KEGS when the dance first began to at.
tract attention. He asked and received
permission to investigate the subject
among the wilder tribes of the Terri
tory. Proceeding directly to the Chey-
enne and Arapaho, it soon became evil
dent there was more in the ghost dance
than had been suspected, with the re-
suit that the investigation, to which it
had been intended to devote a few
weeks, was extended over three years.
Indeed he declares that it might be con-
tinued Indefinitely, as the dance still
exists and is developing new features
at every performance.

was made to the Arapaho, Cheyenne,

The announcement Is made by Mr..
Bellamy Storer, United States minister
to Belgium, that the United States am
b%assadors to Great Britain and Ger
many will, in common with him, take
vigorous steps to secure a modification
of the laws against American sheep,
cattle AID meat products, which ION
involve 81 large a loss to American
agricultural interests annually. The
action taken will be simultaneous, and
is the outgrowth of the determination
OF the administration at Washington
to protect American agricultural in
terests by doing it's utmost to have the
discriminating laws of European coun-
tries against American products
changed. AS a matter Of fact, the at
tention of all United States represent
tatives has been called to the need of
urgent and vigorous action in the
premises. 1t is explained by the min
lister to Belgium that Great Britain and
Germany control that country, and that
all three are influenced to discriminate
against American meats by the agra
rian element in their parliaments on
the pretense that American sheep, cat
tie and meats are not sufficiently pro-
tected against disease, and the claim
that they must have their own inspec-
ton, which in practice acts as a pro-
hibition Of imports from this country.
The contention is made on the part
OF the American representatives that
our system Of inspection is the most
scientifically complete in the world, and
that, as a matter of fact, the ground
of difficulty is rather economic than
sanitary. The result of this action on
the part of the American representa-.
tives will be awaited with interest.
