there was a little girl under the umbrella

south Of Tecumseh, visiting a sister,
and by driving all night had arrived
in time. Far removed from railroad
communication, without newspapers
and few ncighbors, Wilson had known
nothing of the search being made for
him: and was astonished at the re-
port of the finding of his body.
II need not attempt to describe the
sensation his appearance created, nor
could I if I would. Jackson's wife
threw her arms around her husband
and that cool, collected man gave vent
to his feelings in tears. The old faith
cr Rugged him and the children kiss
ed him, and those who a minute be-
fore were ready to hang him pressed
aroun1 to see who would be the first
to congratulate him. Ward and Will
son also came in for congratulations,
and what looked a minute before like
a tragedy became a sentimental come
dy. I do not deny, either, that |
turned away my head to prevent the
discovery of tears in my eyes. Of
course, Jackson and Ward were at
once discharged from custody, and
were almost carried to their homes on
the shoulders of the people.
"Whose body was it? Well, l
don't know. 1t has since been twice
identified; once as that of Lewis Scoff,
a young German, who was missing.
SCOTS father was certain it was his
sons body, but the young mar was
found in Texas, where he's working
on a farm. Then it was identified as
the body Of NJ. Loder, a crazy cigar
maker, who had escaped from the asy-
lum; but that, too, proved erroneous.
1t is now believed it was the body Of
a member of the Christian gang who
had died or was killed and his body
placed where it was found. 1t is prob
able it's identity will never be known"

An interesting story concerning the
faculty for association of ideas in fishes
comes from the West Indies. On one OF
the islands an old man was in the habit
Of assembling great numbers of GELS
near the surface of the water by the
simple device of striking one pebble
upon another, thus producing short,
sharp sound. On account of this fac.
ulty he was for long time believed by
the other natives to be- sorCerer, q
reputation which he probably liked to
have, for he made no effort to avoid it,
anel it was by accident that it was dis
covered that the blinking of the pebbles
was always succeeded by the throwing
of bread and scraps of other food upon
the water. The cells had become accus-
toned to connecting the two incidents,
and never failed to appear, i'll the GER
tainty Of receiving food. when they
beard the sound of the pebbles.
Unfortunately for the confidence of
the cells in human nature as soon as
the natives discovered the old man s
tricks they initiated it to their own
benefit and captured the cells as fast as
they appeared. New York CONNER

Defining Appendicitis.

A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one of the ques-
tions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis, and what are its
causes and cures?' Below are given a
few Of the answers as reported III the
Seneca Tribune:
1T is a disease of the appendix,
which il located somewhere between
the liver and the heart the organ of the
affections. -
Classification of the marrow of the
longitudinal shaft bone "
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over
heating caused by a great heat. The
cure is to get the patient into a cool
place, battle the face and hand with
water"
lis the disease of appendice, caused
by want of exercise, improper food.
clothing and ventilation. "
Appendicitis is condition caused
by food substances lodging and causing
blockade in the digestive apparatus.
1t is cured by surgical operation, in
which the obstruction is cut away. A
theory is given that the appendix was
at one time a tail on man and is not yet

The hills contribute with subjective hand.
There lies in barren peak the timbered height,
A wealth beyond the optimistic dream,
But mortals grope until the way Is light,
Till fortune smiles and earth reflects the

The progress made in engineering is
notably exhibited i'll the fact that of
late years iron plates for the construc.
ton of boilers have been almost entire
ly superseded by homogeneous steel
plates, these having a greater tensile
strength than iron plates and greater
elasticity and ductility. The standard
tests now require tensile strength of
from 90, 600 to 60, 600 pounds per square
inch-that is, the quality of the steel
plate is required to be such that "a bar
one inch square would neCessitate a
force of co. 600 pounds to pull it asun-
der, and III such process the ductility of
the steel would cause it to stretch some
what, so that at the point of fracture
there would be marked reduction of
area in the bar, the amount of this re-
duction deciding i'll great measure the
quality of the steel as adapted to boiler
construction In making specifications
for boilers, therefore, especially for
high pressures, it has come to be con-
dltion that the steel plates shall be of
the above named tensile strength per
square inch, and that the reduction of
area Mt the point of fracture under a
test like the above shall be not less than
30 per cent-that is, the metal stretched
under the test or strain so that, on break
ing, it was less than one-h half the orig
inal area of the bar. Such tests deter
mine the quality and ability of the steel
plates when made up into a boiler to
adjust themselves to the expansion and
contraction of the metal caused by the
varying temperatures TO which the bold
er is subjected when it is set up and
put in use.
