that heroic mother had lived, all this
might have interested him, for her
sake; but politics never seemed to have
any charm for him.
In the language Of the marts, he has
made oceans of money. and he has ex-
pended millions of his wealth trying
to develop his beloved west.
The present season his vast ranches
in Nebraska. on the North Platte and
on the Dismal river will yield an i'm

scheme in the Big Horn basin, In
Wyoming, whereby he is retaining

HIP ISEASE E.

Hip disease is one Of the most com
mon causes of lameness in children.
This is not only because 1t occurs per-
haps more frequently than disease OF
any other joint, but also because 1t be-
gins so insidiously that the early
stages. when treatment might accom-
plish most, are often passed before the
trouble Is recognized.
The first sign is usually a slight limp,
which comes and goes for no apparent
reason; there is no pain. and as the
child can give no excuse for limpiIg,
he is perhaps reproved for what is re-
garded as merely a bad habit. There
is a little stiffness after sitting. and es-
pecially in the morning on getting out
of bed, but this passes away with exer-
else. II may disappear for days at a
time, and then return in a rather more
pronounced form.
The child seems instinctively to avoid
a shock to the hip by stepping on the
tips of his toes. but when told to put
hts heel to the ground he does so
without trouble. After a while a lit
tie pain begins to be felt, and this, like
the limp, may be intermittent at first
II seems too slight to have any serious
significance, and the parents often
speak of 1t as a growing pain" At
first the child hardly Knows where the
pain is. 1t is so indefinite. but soon
it becomes more marked and Is re-
erred TO the knee.
The limp and the pain are so slight
and so inconstant that no alarm Is
felt, ard so the opportunity Of throt-
ting the disease in its infancy Is often
lost, and the more striking symptoms
Of the second stage set in before a ply
stefan is consulted. Now the little pa.
tent begins to have might cries

Attempts have been made to prove
hat Robert Fulton did not discover
he power of steam. that Morse was not
the inventor Of telegraphy, that the
telephone did not originate with Edi-
con that S~hakespeare's plays were writ
ten by Francis Bacon, and that Buffalo
Bill isn't Buffalo Bill. The last named
attempt vas the maddest Of all. IL
there ever was a man called Buffalo
Bill, he was not known through the
west when that title was conferred
upon w. F. Cody, and to this day he
has never come TO the front to assert
his claim.
There is but one Buffalo Bill. And he
is the most widely known American to-
day, living or dead. The quantity Of
prose and poetry, history and fiction,
that has been printed about him in
books, magazines and newspapers, II
measured up, would undoubtedly ex-
coed the printed matter published con-
corning any historical character. with
possibly the solitary exception Of Ma
poleon ~Bonaparte.
In his poem Columbia to Buffalo
Bill" Hugh Wetmore, the western
poet. mentions the fact that on his
European tour Buffalo Bill received
homage from countries that bowed
not to B~onaparte's sway" meaning, of
course, the British kingdom particu-
larly.
Buffalo Bill was honored by the ma
tons Of Europe but the queen of Eng
land tried hard to Guido all the other
crowned heads by the attention which
she showed the distinguished Ameri-
can. Her majesty showered diamonds
upon him, and ii is said that the queen
found but m fault with the recent
jubilee celebration. and that was on
account of the absence of the celebrated
scout.
One OF the questions which has
caused many a dispute is Buffalo Bill's
age. One frequently overhears the as
sertion made that this knight Of the
plains has been before the public fol
sixty years. There is no excuse fol
this mistake. He was born in 1S4S, ant

The deepest spots 80 far sounded in

The distance from the W extreme

These %soundings afford additional
evidence OF the observed fact that the
deepest holes are not in the centers of
the oceans, but are near land, as two
OF them are within n hundred miles
Of islands OF the Hernandez group,
and the other not far from a shoal.
Doubtless deeper depressions In the
bed of the sea are yet to be found. but
the fact, that this sounding Of 10000
