A Remarkable Book.

NEW YORK. November 2O.-Eliza-
beth Stuart Ph helps-Ward' s new work,
entitled the "StOry of Jesus Christ; an
In' n'erpreta'ion," !" and which has been
looked forward to with great interest
in literary and theological circles. is
issued from the press today. Contrary
10 expectation it is purely orthodox
and devoid Of sen satiopalism. 1t is the
story of the Ssvior's life told in new
way. Were it not found d upon fact it
might be regarded as mystical dram
attic and poetic work of fiction. The
Savior is treated bo'h from human
and superb uman point of viaw, and the
entire S ory of the New TIE tame1t is
a1Eeret to, save that the author re scts-
the theory of the influence of person
al devil being responsible for the
temptation of the mountain, and takes
tie view that this temptation was
merely the workings Of disordered
brain growing out of weeks of fasting.
Taking q II in all, he work is remark
able ore and, while appealing to those
who have previously been entranced
with the writ ngs Of this famous au-
thoress, is likely at the same time TO
provoke no end of d ;scussicn among
people of all demon ~ a: ions.

A Breathing Well.

In San Luis Obispo county, Cslifor-
mia, there is gas we'll whose strange
conduct is described by q recent cor
respondent of "Science." The well
is elk inches in diameter and three
hundred and fifty-s feet deep. Dur
ing settled weather it blows out gas
for three hours, and then sucks in air
for an equal period of time, and this
regular breathing continues without
interruption until change of weather.
Before storm, when the barometer
is falling, the time during which the
we'll expires gas is greatly increased,
and sometimes the Outbr .athing con-
tinues for twenty-four hours. After
the passage of the storm, and with the
barometer rising, the Inhalation of air
is s;miIarly prolonged. If the air is
shut off when an inh alation is about to
take place, the gas afterwards ceases
to flow, SO that the well must be al
lowed to perform its regular breathing
in order to continue its yield of gas.
An automatic valve has been placed at
the mouth of the we'll to permit the
inRress of air, aud when the opening
is restricted the inward suction causes
loud sound, as if the we'll served for
nOstrils to a subserranean monster
afflicted with snoring.

Too Many Officers.

Governor Adams of Colorado, in re

Colorado is justly proud of its mil
itia, which is surpassed in efficiency
and character by no militia in the I'm
tied States; yet in looking over the pay
roll of the Leadville expedition there
arises question as to whether there
is not surplus of officers, There was
paid to officers from September l to De-
cember 10, 1896, 1923, 967 go; paid to en-
listed men for the same period, S37, 95S.-
81. Our military pyramid seems to be
standing on its apex-a little top heavy.
He expressed the belief that the cost
of commanding might be reduced with
out Gripping the effectiveness of the
service. At the same time the pay of
the privates should be increased"

very of those sheep, Since last Sat
urday night up to the time they were
killed, Mr.. Knott says the sheep were
not fed. He had, after the government
seized them, sent up a load of hay, but
was notified that as the government
was in charge, he might or might not
just as he pleased, feed the animals
As the stock had passed entirely out of
his hands, Mr.. Knott did not consider
himself responsible for their care and
the hay was not fed out.
Mr.. Knott says he offered to dip the
sheep two weeks ago, or take the sheep
in bond to any point 'on the Santa Fe,
both of which courses were denied him.
And just here he called the HERALD
reporters attention to the fact that
they had been only asked at the Ell
Paso custom house for the bills and
invoice, and was not asked for
any affidavit. The American custom
house inspector asked for the bill of
health, and Mr.. Knott furnished him
with it, and Mr.. Knott has papers in
the bank to back up everything he has
said. He also called the reporters at
