Tells of Barome rio Changes.

A peculiar effect of barometric
change is seen in the ''brea thing
ground" of limestone districts. If a
well in this kind of soil is covered
over so that only small hole is left
in the top, and lighted candle is
held near this hole quite strong
current of air can sometimes be
noticed. The ''breathings" are ir-
regular, and accompany barometric
changes, for the reason that when
the pressure on either side Of the
opening is heavier than that on the
other side, flow sets in from the
heavier to the lighter.

RAISING LAKE ORES.
How Curious Canadian on Mine
Is Worked.

Is Worked.
Lake ores are abundant in north
ern Europe. but. 50 far as the
writer's knowledge extends, Lac a
la Tortue and neighboring lake are
the only instances of the kind in
North America. The ore is ex-
tracted from our lake mine by hand
and by power The shallow margin
is divided into sections and allotted
to suitable parties who may desire
to work them and who are paid at
a specified rate per ton OF ore raised
Two men generally work in COM
pany Their implements are a
shovel, strong circular sieve and a
rough hand barrow When work is
to be begun the workmen remove
shoes and stockings and use their
feet in searching for ore which lies
imbedded in the soft sand, nothing
ooarser than sand, except ore cakes,
being found in the lake. Guided by
their feet, the workmen put down
their shovels and bring to the sur
face quantity of ore and sand
which they throw into their circular
sieve. This is then held below the
surface of the water and made to 70
tate to and fro until the soft sand is
washed away from the ore, which is
then thrown on scow provided for
the purpose or carried to shore.
When a sufficient quantity has been
collected 10 is carted to the railway
near at hand and loaded on cars.
From the deeper parts Of the lake
the ore is raised by means OF steam
dredge The captain OF the dredge
moves over the lake, and, putting
down a pole and working it about
on the bottom, can easily learn
where there is a body of ore suit
able for dredging. The dredge is
then moved to the desired spot and
work is begun. The ore and sand
are brought up in buckets on an
endless chain and thrown into a
long, revolving screen, adjusted and
inclined so as to deliver it upon
scows moored to the dredge In its
course down the screen the mixture
of ore and mud is acted upon by
water which is thrown upon it witt
considerable force.
By this means the mud and sane
are washed out Of the screen ant
the clean ore is deposited on the
scows. j. T. Donald, in Appletons

A DOG STORY.
Curious Illustrate Of Power of
Animals to Rea on.

While at Yemethen, in upper
Burmah, in 1888-89, owned a half
bull, half terrier do5 called Peter,
who used to accompany me on my
tours about the district AS a rule
| used to ride from 20 to % miles
day, but occasionally had to travel
twice that distance, ia which case |
used to send ON an extra pony half
way over night. Ga the first oc-
casion that | did this, Peter, who
had followed me till | changed
ponies, disappeared, but did not
miss him till the end Of my ride.
Then | had search made for him in
all directions, but in vain. Next
morning, when the pony had left
at the half way place was led in,
there was Peter" trotting gayly at
its heels. On inquiry from the
syce (groom) | found Peter had
appeared from the jungle where he
had been hiding as soon as ! was
out of sight aud had shared the
syce's meal and the pony's bed.
After this, whenever | changed
ponies en- route Peter" always
stayed with the pony that had done
the first half of the journey. lie
evidently reasoned itSut that while
he could comfortably 90 as far as
one pony in a day, if he followed "a
second and fresh pony he would
have to go further and faster than
he bargained for at starting. The
reasoning faculty is also shown in
his deciding to stay with the tired
pony, which he rightly conjectured
would follow next day Correspond
ence London Spectator.

strike ID Japane OraYmen.

During a recent strike of the ma
tive draymen in Yokohama foreign
sailors who happened to be in port
and idle were induced to take the
places of the strikers. The jack
tars entered upon their new work in
a spirit of fun. They drove helter-
SHELTER about the town, shouting to
each other and to citizens to sheer
off, " lie to, or stand by" as if
they were sailing tie high seas in
their familiar craft. There were a
number of collisions and other minor
mishaps during the progress of the
strike.

In the Pine Ridge Indian
campaign OF 1890 young man from
Sioux City, who sent over to see
about it, found himself at Louis
Mossheau's cabin on Wounded Knee
creek one evening, with dusk com
ing on. Mossheau, after supper,
sent him into the spare room TO
sleep. Blowing out the light, the
visitor rolled himself in a blanket
and was soon oblivious. He awoke
with a start about midnight with a
presentiment that something had
happened. He reached out his
hand, and it rested on the cold flesh
OF a corpse. In the semi-gloom he
could distinguish the pale, soft, icy
flesh, and, realizing that Mossheau
had been murdered by Indians

A HOG KILLING.

Or reading of the mess that a Chi
cago butcher used in poisoning q
whole brigade of people one is re-
minded of the inspired utterance Of
Ignacio Martinetti, when in the
course of the play THE Nancy
Hanks he remarked in epicurean
horror when offered luncheon of
liver sausage: II half re grea-a-at
ad-mi ra-shawn for re German peo-
pie; zey can get so mawch from Won
peegP
The ordinary diner to whom the
meat of the swine comes in the form
of chops, roasts and spareribs would
be very likely to cry out in horror
at sight of Mr.. Papke engaged in
filling the prescription for his som
merwurst, and would probably for
get all about being hungry when
mealtime next came around. Here
is the way Mr.. Papke performed
when he prepared his miracle of q
dish. He mixed:
Twelve pounds of Boston'butts-
big, chunky pieces of meat from uI
near the forecastle of the hog.
Six pounds of trimmings, trim
mings being the technical name for
all sorts of hooks and corners Of the
swine, which are cut off for the pur-
pose of making a nice, Symmetrical
roast or chop.
Seventeen pounds of back fat.
Ten cents worth of blood.
All this being chopped up and in.
termingled it became the 'sommcr-
wurst" of the West side, and the
people ate of it and tried with much
earnestness of purpose to die--and
do you blame them?
A local butcher was asked as to
the correctness of Mr.. Martinetti S
inference, and he supported the
comedian to an extent, although as
matter of fact, not alone the Ger
man people buy the many strange
things manufactured of pork The
Germans may have invented the
hunger for blood sausage and frank
furters, but others have readily ap-
piled it. Here mentioned are some
of the useful if not highly ornamen
tai foods of which meat of the
grunting swine becomes the basic
element:
Head cheese, blood sausage, kid
ney sausage, liver sausage, frank,
furters or wieners, picked pigtails,
picked shoots, pork shanks fol-
kraut, pigs ears for sour dishes,
brain cakes and about 20 different
sausages of which trimmings form
the chief element In addition to
these are the ordinary and familiar
cuts-loins, chops, ribs, butts, hams,
shoulders, feet and the like.
The pig, indeed, has a pretty brisk
sort of time of it trying to escape
being useful when the enterprisinG
German butcher begins to plan con
corning him.
The killing of a hog is a very in
teres sting episode. Not that killing
which occurs down at the packing
house and which is repeated several
thousands of times in the course OF
the day. There machinery has taken
all the poetry out of the slaughter
of swine, and there is nothing iu-
viting or attractive about it. But
out in the country village, where the
baleful influence Of the wicked city
has not come to corrupt with it,
frontage scandal and its franchise
