Queer Facts About Heat and Light.

The rays of heat and light are quite in
dependent of each other in their ability to
penetrate different substances. For illus
tration, glass allows the suns heat to pass
through as readily as it does the rays of
light, and that without heating the glass
too. If the glass be coated with lamp
black, however, the rays of light are ar
rested but the heat passes through as be-
FORE not n single degree difference in the
latter phenomenon being noticeable Then,
again, both heat and light pass through
water, providing it is clear One of the
oddities in this connectionisth this: Although
the heat and light pass through water in
its normal state, the addition of q little
powdered alum, which readily dissolves
without leaving the least murkiness, will
arrest the rays of heat to such an extent
as to almost Immediately raise the tenn
perature of the water to perceptible de-
gree, yet the light continues to pass
through as before
Ice, like glass, also transmits both heat
and light. DIR. Sutherland, in "Observa-
tions Upon the Iccbergs of Baflin's Bay, +"
says Several pieces of granite were found
deeply imbedded in ice without any COM
munications with outside air. These were
all surrounded with what might be termed
an atmosphere OF water" The explana-
ton of such an oddity is this: The heat
passing through the ice had been absorbed
by the stones until their temperature had
been raised 80 q degree sufficient To melt
the ice around them. st Louis Republic

The Difference.

There is n vast difference between
learned man ard an igEuraaus. For IN
stance, when Fogg asked Dundahoad how
IL was tha5 birds could fly, Dundahead
could only rcply;
"'Causc they can.
But when kutchins was asked the same
question lie settled his lead in his collar,

thus
Tho secret of the BIRDS flight Is dac
entirn;y to the fact that TIE bird possesses
the power To- sustain itself in and to pro
pei itself through tho air.
Fogg very truly remarks that the solu'
ton seems easy enough after 1t Is found
but none but a wise man would have DIS
covered it.-Boston Transcript.

Very Tired Indeed.

1t has remained for little girl in
Brooklyn to nearly II not quite equal a
famous witticism of Leigh Hunt. OF
course she spoke in childish innocence,
where the English essayist and wit used
his ripened intellect.
Hunt in describing an exceedingly
warm day, 1t will be remembered, spoke
of it as one which tempted him ito strip
off his flesh and sit in his bones.
The dear little Brooklyn miss had been
romping and running all day. Toward
nightfall her father met her. "Are you
not very tired, little one9" he asked
"Oh, not so very tired, papa" she re-
piled. Then in burst of confidence she

America a Nation of whistlers.

The right Of person to whistle, to tho
paralysis of other persons nerves, is De-
coming almost as burning Il question as
the right of persons to smoke to the mon
tai and bodily detriment of others. We
Americans arc probably, next to our own
colored people in tho southern towns,
whom we have educated in the art, the
whistlingest people in the world. There
are apparently two reasons for this. One
is that we are the most nervous of people
we have got to be doing something, we
can't go down stolidly at our work like
Europeans or sit silent and contemplative,
so wo work off our fldgets with whistling.
The other reason Is that we are really a
cheerful and expressive people, in spite of
all that has ever been said to the contrary.
The national whistling habit has resulted
in the production of great number OF
really skillful and musical whistlefs.
With one consideration and another, there
Is tremendous amount of whistling. 1t
seems cheerful, and sometimes, to the
whistler, it is really cheerful. Now, un-
doubtedly this would be very nice IL every
ones whistling was heard only by him
self 1t would be blessed way of work
ing off ones nervousness too. What about
that? An ordinary whistler's performance
gives absolutely no pleasure to any one but
himself. Boston Transcript.

A DEAD CITY.

Der lone Pompeii when the wild bird flies,
Slower its pinions and more sad its song,
The wind that steals its trembling walls
among
Howls follower there, and there more softly
signs
or ruin, death and fatal destinies.
The silence palpitates as 'twere the strong
Pulse of "a giant heart to break e'er so long
Beneath the weight of unsaid miseries.
In utter sadness DER the amber waves
The setting sun filings forth his last goodby;
The infinite bosom of the hills and caves
Re-echoes to the universal sigh
A city which the sunlight scantly laves,
Dead in the past, dead now, again to die.

A Valuable Antidote.

The employment of whisky rs an anti
dote in cases of snake bite seems to be
nearing its end. Experiments have been
tried with strychnine in cases of this sort,
and the results are highly satisfactory. 1t
is said to remove all unpleasant symptoms
not only of snake bite, but of mushroom
poison. On the principle of fighting fire
with fire, the use of this poison should be
a pronounced succcss.-New York Ledger.

How Many steps One Takes a Year.

A Swiss statistician has taken the trou-
bic to count the number of steps he took
IN walking during the whole year. The
number he finds to have been 9, 760, 900,
or an average of &C. 740 steps day. Going
still further into details, he declares that
over 600, 900 of these steps were taken in
going up and down stairs. On an aver

A TALE OF STARVATION.
Returned Miner Says He Saw 1000
Graves Made in the <ioadyke Basin.

Returned Miner Says He Saw 1000
Graves Made in the Ktondyke Basin.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, July ~
Frank Moss, an pii.time miner in this
section, who four years ago was one
of a party of Americans to visit the
Klondyke country. returned yesterday
and tells story of horror and starva
ton seldom equaled in modern novels.
He describes Klondyke as placer
camp seven miles long and thirteen
miles wide, located in sink, walled
in by boulderS of rock 1900 feet high.
Gold. he says, abounds. but no ordin-
ary man can stand the hardships of
the uncivilized region. When Moss
left here four years ago he was a
sturdy fellow over six feet tall.
From hardships and privation cXpc
rienccd there he is cripple for life
and badly broken in health. In three
years he saw over 1000 graves
made in the Klondylle basin large
ma iority dying from starvation. The
steamship companies bring in all food
and allow no private transportation.
Consequently, it is not uncommon to
go for weeks with but a scant supply
and for days without food. The gold
brought in last week to Seattle, Moses
says. does not represent the findings CT
individual shippers. but large portion
of it was confscated from the effects of
those 1000 miners who fell a prey to
hardships. At the death of IA man
possessed of dust his body is buried
without a coffin and the dust divided
among those who care for him With
proper relief established by the gov
eminent, Moss says, gold can be sallen
out at the rate of s., 600, OOO month.
The richest strike has been made by
u 21-vear-old boy named George HoIl-
blower of indianapolis. In the heart
of barren waste known as Boulder
field he found nugget for which the
transportation company gave him
81, 200. He located his claim at the
find and in four months had taken out
over 500, 900.
few months ago Klondyke organ
lied a justice committee and its law
prevails there now.

Daniel Rose, Aged 20, Fires A Bullet Into
the Back OF DIR. Norris-Physician
Falls Fatally Wounded, but Fires Twice
without Eject at His Assaiiant.

PALMYRA, Mo-, July "a. - Daniel
Rose, about 20 years old, shot and
fatally wounded DR.. J. w. Norris, a
prominent physician of this place, yes
terdny morning about o'clock, on
Main street, near the postoffice. The
tragedy eliminated sensational
scandal, in which DR.. Norris had been
found in the bedroom of Roses daugh-
ter.
Dr. Norris had just left his office for
the postoffice, when Mr.. Rose slipped
up behind him, and placing the revol-
YER against the doctors back, pulled
the trigger,
Dr. Norris turned and fell on his
back. Then the aged man walked up
to him and took aim at his head lie
pulled the trigger twice, but the re-
volver failed to go off. BY this time
the doctor had succeeded in getting
! his revolver out and fred twice, but
missed his aim A carriage was called
and he was carried to his home, where
his wound was dressed by DR.. kuntz,
| who pronounced it fatal.
The trouble grew ont of the doctor S
attentions to Roses daughter, hand
some young woman of about 90.
About / o'clock last Saturday morn
ing Daniel Rose, being restless and
unable to sleep, arose from his bed
and went out on his back porch to
smoke something he is accustomed to
do When he reached the porch he
was startled to see a ladder leaning
against the house, leading to an open
window in room occupied by his
daughter, Miss Kate. Thinking that
burglars had entered the house, Mr..
Rose, although unarmed, at once as
cended the ladder and entered the
room, where he saw the outlines of
man, and at once commenced to shout
for help.
The midnight intruder proved to be
DR., }. W. Norris, IL well-known ply
stefan of this city When Rose
screamed Dr. Norris assaulted him,
knocking him down and choking him
almost into insensbility. Norris is Il
man of powerful physique and the
Ola man WAS DuL II CIlllu III MS ANUS
Mrs. Rose was aroused by the scuffle
upstairs, and running out on the
porch, screamed murder at the top of
her voice, and soon had the neighbor-
hood aroused. DR.. Norris. in the
meantime, made his escape from the
house by the same means. he had en-
tered it, and was followed to the
ground by the young woman. Rose
ran down the stairs and into the
kitchen, where he secured butcher
knife and started in pursuit of Dir.
Norris. The Rose and Norris resi-
dences are within a stones throw of
one another, and Norris ran into his
stable, where he was lost to the view
