The Wow From the Summit OF the Nous
tain Of the Ark.
At last we stood uron the summit Of
Ararat, but the sun no longer pierced
the white vapor; fierce gale drove
across the forbidden region and whipped
the eye, straining to distinguish the
limits Of snow and cloud. Vague forms
hurried past on the winds Of the whirl.

land of promise we searched dense banks

We were standing on the spot where
the ark Of gopher rested. where first the
patriarch alighted on the face Of an

few other places in the world where
mountain so lofty rises from plain SO
low. The summit Of Great Ararat has
the form of dome and is covered with
perpetual snow; this dome crowns an
oval figure, the length Of which is from
northwest to southeast, and it is there

On the southeast. as you follow the out
line farther, the slope falls at n more
rapid gradient Of from 80 to 30 degrees
and ends in the saddle between the two
mountains at a height Of nearly 5000
feet.
From that point 1t is the shape Of the
Little Ararat, which continues the out
line toward the east. 1t rises in the
shape Of graceful pyramid to the height
Of 10, $40 feet, and its summit is distant
from that of Great Ararat a space Of
nearly seven miles The southeastern
slope Of the lesser Ararat corresponds to
the northwestern slope Of the greater
mountain and descends to the floor Of
the river valley in long and regular
train. The unity OF the whole fabric,
the intimate correspondence Of the parts

The USE OF COCAINE,
Horse Trainers and jockeys Find It Use
full ~ n Braccr For Their Mays.

Within recent period cocaine has
come into use on the race track rs a
stimulant. Horses that are worn and ex-
hausted, or are uncertain as TO speed and
endurance. are given 10 TO 10 grains Of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time Of starting. or few moments
before
The effects are very prominent, and
yeritable muscular delirium follows, in
which the horse displays unusual speed
and often Unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in SLOWING down" the
horse after the race is over not unfre.
Quently the horse viii go half way round
again before he can be stopped. The ex.
baustion which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap.
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem.
bling follow. But good grooms give I'M
usual attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulaDts.
The general effect on the horse is de-
preston, from which he soon RECEIVERS,
but it is found essential TO give cocaine
again to make sure Of his speed. The
action Of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases. and when a long
period Of scoring follows before the race
begins drivers give a second dose secret
ly while in the saddle. Sometimes the
horse becomes delirious and unmanage-
able and leaves the track in wild
frenzy, often killing the driver, or he
drops dead on the track from cocaine, al.
though the cause is unknown to any but
the owner and driver. Some horses have
been given as high as 20 grains at a
time. but this rs dangerous and only
given to vermont animals, who may by
this means win race. 1t appears that
cocaine is only used in running races
and as temporary stimulant for the
time. 1t is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse are strong evidence Of the use Of
cocaine. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Asbestus In Boots,

The invention consists Of a prepara-
ton Of asbestus wool compressed into
thin sheets by hydraulic pressure. These
sheets are then waterproofed on one side
by special solution, and portions in.
serted into the boots rs middle soles.
Asbestus being nonconductor of heat,
its Interpolation into the fabric Of our
boots and shoes in conjunction with q
waterproof material has the effect of
counteracting the influences Of heat, cold
and moisture. Asbestus lined boots can
not creak in wear, and are, besides,
many times more flexible than boots
made in the ordinary manner Lastly,
asbestus being nOnconductor Of cleo
tricity, persons wearing boots thus made
may walk over live electric wires il
perfect safety. Public Opinion.

his statement that Pope was not buried

Lighted Cigars ON the Elevated.

Perhaps it would be too much TO ex-
pect the elevated road to enforce its rule
prohibiting the carrying Of lighted cigars
on the cars" said Mr.. Bif1ington. but
how would it do to amend that rule so
as to make it prohibit the carrying Of
lighted bad cigars and then enforce it?
1t would be a difficult thing to do,
know; the man who stood on the plat
form to prevent the carrying aboard Of
lighted 'twofers' would need to be not
only connoisseur in tobacco, but an
athlete, too, and even then he might
make mistakes in one way OF the other.

Slavery In Great Britain.

Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The
word bondage" in Northumberland
still means female farm servant. The
coolies and salters-i. O., salt miners-of
East Lothian were actually slaves till
1875. If they deserted their service. any
one harboring them was liable to pen
atty of E5 if he did not restore them in
81 hours. The last slave in England
was not freed until 1899, and in 1S42
there was a cody living who, as we'll
as his father and grandfather, had work
ed as a slave in a pit at Musselburg.

while the whistle was sounded It was

however, seems to be mere opinion Of
the witness, as he was a quarter Of
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition 1t

diligence for the engineer to whistle for
each particular dog, and more especial
