tired out with long watching through
the heat of the day, and sometimes
rain at night, they were always CHEEKY,
willing, and full of spirit, and I could
not want better companions on such
another occasion. I cannot conclude
without contributing word of praise
to the followers of the garrison, though
working hard at the defenses by day,
they took their part in the fighting by
night, being posted at weak parts of
the wall with stones and rocks, which
they heaved down on the enemy, whom
they often helped to drive off.
"It must have been a matter Of sur
prise why the tribesmen never attempt
ed to destroy the Chakdara bridge;
the reason is said to be that they were
confident of complete success, that
they thought it would be well to keep
the bridge in good repair for subse-
quent use. Their over-weening con-
fidence in the Mad Fakir is amply tes-
titled by the undaunted way in which
they rallied to the attack again and
again, in spite of the terrible losses
inflicted on them by the old smooth
bore and the MaXins. Prayer was held
in a mosque in the village of Chakdara,
and until the fort was relieved, the
tribesmen-With scaling ladders ready

! Special Correspondence Of the Globe.
| ASSAM, India, Sept. '20.-An English
man, J. D. La Touche, has just cap
tured an earthquake. lIfBy that it is not
meant that he has it in cage for in
spection, or that he keeps it tied to a
post in front of his bungalow, but he
is able to show something unprecedent-
ed in India, exactly the course the
earthquake tooka This remarkable
achievement vase made possible by
means of that wonderful little instru-
ment, the seismograph.
1t was no baby earthquake that was
pinned down to a. certain course in this
fashion, but a full f1edged affair that
might have been the father of quakes.
AS this is a simple story Of fact, it will
not be wise to say that railways dis
appeared and whole villages were swal-
lowed up, for really nothing of that
sort ever happens here. There was
only one great shock that amounted
to anything, and that lasted about two
minutes. Following that number of
incidental shocks came, between 300
and 400 of them, the sensation being like
that in a building in which engines Of
great power are running. All these
shocks took place within tWenty-four
hours
Whether great or small, an earth
quake is fearsome thing to expert
ence. In the instance which is referred
to here the ground was fssured in
many places, and a large quontity of
sand and mud thrown out. This, how
ever, unpleasant as it may seem, is
only a secondary effect of the earth
quake and happens in loose soil or in
the alluvium Of the valleys. These fis-
sures occur near river banks and such
like places and are due to the forward
movement of the soil where no mass
exists in front Of the wave to carry
on it's motion, somewhat analogous to
the forward movement Of waves OF
water when they reach the shore.
The assures in cases like this are
quite superficial, and the sand and
water is merely jerked out of them, of
course during the actual progress 20
the shock only. 1t often happens that
persons in describing earthquakes state
that sand and mud are constantly
spurted out of the fissures, but it
my experience that statements of this
sort are quite misleading. There is a
tremendous agitation of everything.
Every particle of the earth seems about
to open One does not know whether
he is stepping-if, he be outside of
dwelling-upon ground that will not
separate beneath his feet, or whether
the next step will not precipitate him
into a fissure of unknown depth.
In this latest earthquake, which the
Englishman and his clever instrument
captured, the loss of life was very
small. Only one child at Dhubrf and
a few persons sat Goalpara lost their
lives. In this latter place, one of the
assures to which reference has been

their positions and shot at anyone they
could see The value of the head
cover, etc, made itself apparent, as
without it the walla would have been
swept All the communications inside
the fort were now swept by their ire,
and it was impossible to moVe from
one place to another without attracting
a rain of bullets. The forty-fifth Sikh
Maxim and nine -pounder gun detach-
ment behaved like heroes; though sub
ject to a continuous croSS-t1re from
three sides, they kept to their work,
and replied merrily to their opponents.
All the ,nen at this spot had narrow
escapes and the gun havildar was
killed at his post. The bhistis and Ian
CRIES Ghe cooks also behaved admir-
ably doing their duty under fire with
out a murmur The sniping continued
all day, and at sos p. m. another at
tack was made in very great force, the
enemy trying to get into the fort by
means of numerous ladders and bum
dies of grass. At 12 p. m. the attack
languished, and sniping recommended.
"At dawn on the End heavy firing
again broke out, and our fire Of small
arms. MaXims and nine-pounder gun
was only just sufficient to keep the
enemy in check. About a. M, we saw
the welcome flash of the hello in

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to

Experience of an In
dianapoIis Gentleman.

dianapoIis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
sia. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icine and spring remedies; the real
seat of the mischief is lost sight of;
the stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness.
Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly eV-
cry other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are trou-
bled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation Of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
pect ST., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few hnes
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. L
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last four years; have
!: used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable
result They sometimes gave tempo
rary relief until the effects of the med
icine wore off. I attributed this to my
sedentary habits. being bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but l am
glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for I
have gained in flesh, sleep better and
am better in every way. The above is
written not for notoriety, but is based
on actual fact"

1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-

weakness or disease except cancer of

The Micromotoscope.

A micromotoscope has been in.
vented which is q kinetoscope for
photographing cell life in motion as
seen in the microscopic field. The
pictures are taken by the gelatine film
at from 5000 to 5000 magnifications,
at the rate Of 1000 to 2,5Ooper minute.
the images being magnified thousands
of times when projected upon screen,
the views of some of the families of
microbes are very realistic. It has
been learned that some of them pos
sess great intelligence. The photo
graphs of blood in circulation in the
thinnest part Of the ears and webs of
the fingers, showing its capillary or
aIterial motion and the changes 60
ing on in the white cells, are of in
terest. They indicate something of
the nature of life and disease. The
stream Of circulating human blood is
80 swl1t tnat the eye cannot keep pace
with it, and the changes of the white
blood cells are correspondingly rapid.
Some of the picture show white cell
on the fast moving steam, like white
cap on the sea, constantly changing
its shape. 1t throws out or takes in
its arms like an octopus, seizing the
microbes in its path. In disease this
movement of the arm takes places with
much less energy than in health.
These pictures cannot fail to be of
great value in the study of disease.
The micromotoscope will greatly aid
in the investigation of phenomena of
action of ameboid life in water.

Whisky, But No Food.

Fl. ]. Burrows, of Portland, Or, who
came down on the Cleveland, has a
fund of general information concern
ing Dawson City and the Kloudike.
He went into the mines early in the
spring, going from Portland in the in
terest of several prominent investors
and to incidentally select a paying
hole for himself, should it be possible.
Like all Others who came down on the
steamer his first words were concerning
the food outlook during the coming
winter, and his statements on this
score are anything but encouraging.
al fear for every man and woman
in there, regardless of whether they
have money or are penniless. The
truth is the people in the mines are in
a precarious condition. Any way 1
look at it, see nothing but shortage
OF food-not just little, but starva-
ton for the more unfortunate.
"The situation may be relieved
slightly if the steamer J. J. Healey
makes another successful trip and car
ries nothing but food up the river.
But this has not been the policy up
there. Everything - groceries, pro-
visions, food supplies-have had to
give way to the transportation of
whisky. Why? Simply because there
are more dollars in hauling liquor.
Cargoes have gone up that river in the
face of closed stores and lack of food in
summer, with practically little in their
make up other than liquors.
ain a nutshell the situation is lust
this: There are more people in the
Klondike than there will be food for,
if every available means of transporta.
ton is used to carry in supplies until
the river closes. The opportunity to
carry legitimate freight to the mines
has been neglected until it is now too
late to mend conditions. Yes, it is an
outrage, but it is the cold truth which
must be stared straight in the face and
none know it any better than do those
who are tied up in there with little or
no chance at all of getting out.
"I am not an alarmist, but 1 do not
intend to gloss over the actual facts,
particularly as you say you wilrquote
me. 1t might be worse, of course, but
it's bad enough, I assure you. There
are no end of people who cannot pos
sibly get to the coast before winter, and
these will be the sufferers.
"There is much sickness at Dawson
City. 1t is a very unhealthy place
and for some time past typhoid has
been raging. You can imagine what
that means up there where there are
no facilities for caring for invalids-
little of anything absolutely necessary
to the recovery of the average typhoid
patient. So far as I could learn there
is but one licensed doctor in Dawson,
and of course he has much more bus
mess than he can handle. There are
several other doctors about the place,
but they have no government license
and dare not practice. They help out
where they can, but it's tough to
be sick up there at the best. I do not
know how many cases there are at this
time, and I cannot tell how many
deaths there have been up to this time,
but 1t is sufficient to know that ty-
phoid fever is raging in a place of that
kind"
