A Trumpeter,s Courage.

During French campaign in Africa
many brave deeds were done, but none
braver perhaps than Trumpeter Escof-
fer's rescue Of his captain
Tho Arabs were pressing the cavalry
of Captain De Cott, aud everything
was in confusion, when De Colts horse
was killed under him and the capture
Of the officer and the whole company
seemed inevitable.
At that moment the trumpeter of the
company leaped from his horse and
gave it to De Cott, saying: "Take him
Your life is necessary; mine is useless.
You can rally the men. 1t does not
matter about my neck. "
De Cott mounted the horse, rallied
the company and continued the fight.
Trumpeter Escoffier was taken prisoner,
but the Arabs, who adore courage, had
witnessed the scene and, appreciating
the nobility of the man, treated him
with generosity. His trumpet was a
source of great entertainment to his
captors, who used often to make him
give the signals of the various military
movements. One day Escoffier gave the
whole repertory with great gusto, fin
fishing up by blowing the summons fo1
a charge with an extended flourish.
"What was that?" asked the Arat
chief.
"Ah," said Escoffier, you will heal
that soon, hOpel That is the signal fol

A Lake of Ink

In the midst of the $500 Cocopah
volcanoes Of Arizona stands the lake of
ink, into which run scores of streams of
clear, hot, mineral charged water. 1t
is only quarter Of mile long by half
as much wide, but no bottom has ever
yet been found to its gloomy depths.
The black water rises to within three
or four inches of its level shores, and
the temperature at the edge is 10 de-
grees F., rising at a depth of 200 feet
to 216 Degrees degrees above boiling
point. To the touch the water feels
smooth and oily, and when it is in re-
pose ashes and oily matter cover the
surface half an inch thick. Although
the water is jet black, it does not
discolor the skin Of a bather The col
oring matter seems to be held in sus-
pension and will adhere to n white
cloth dipped in the lake. To the taste
the water is warm, salt and bitter.
To the bather the sensation is most
delightful, exhilarating to such de-
gree that bath of 10 minutes makes
one feel as if under the influence of the
very best brandy.
Millions of bubbles, formed by es.
Gaping gases, keep the surface at all
times agitated. till it rolls. boils and
foams as if ready to roll over its banks
and escape. Whenever the neighborine
volcanoes rage with anger, the lake fol.
lows suit, and the sight of its madden
ed waters will not soon be forgotten.
The cures wrought ON the Indians
who bathe there and on the few white
men who have SO far visited the spot
are almost incredible. An

PHOTOGRAPHlNG A SHOT.
Wonderful Experiments In Determining

Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time of a Flash of Electricity.
Recent achievements in the moving
photography that has produced the AMI
matograph, biograph, cinematograph
and other representations of motion are
not more wonderful than the lately per-
fected photography of the flying bullet.
Professor @. Vernon Boys, F. R. S., has
worked on this seemingly unsolvable
problem with great success, as have also
two Italian artillery officers.
In the course Of a lecture ON the sub
ject, Mr.. Boys demonstrated that the
ordinary notion that an electric spark is
instantaneous was quite erroneous and
stated that the light Of the two ends Of
the ordinary electric spark lasted a lit
tie less than the One-hundred thOusandth
part Of second. 1t was, Of course, in
Simultaneous to our senses, but to tests
which could measure accurately to the
one-hundred millionth part of a second
the electric spark was anything but in
Simultaneous. This spark was no good
for taking the photograph of a flying
bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib-
iting one Of his attempts, which made
quite blurred picture.
Mr.. Boys then proceeded to explain
the steps which he took in order to re-
duce the length of time Of the electric
spark. To this end it was essential that
the terminals should be made of copper,
| platinum or some metal which did not
produce readily an ignitible vapor, and
the electric current must not be driven
through wires at all. He used very
thick, broad band of copper, not more
than two inches long, which reached
around the edge of the plate, so that the
electric current had not more than
three or four inches to 90 altogether.
He explained by diagrams how he had
effected his object and shortened the
time of the spark to about one-thirteen
millionth of a second, or about 1OC
times quicker than the ordinary flash.
To give the audience some idea of the
inifnitesimal fraction of time, he sale
the time occupied by the spark as re-
duced by his apparatus was proportion
ately as much less than a second as
second was less than five months, anC
during that time bullet fred from
magazine rife could not travel more
than one five hundredth part of an inch
By this simple contrivance he was abb,
to get brighter and shorter spark ant
all that was necessary to make gooC
and sharp picture. New York World.
