JUDGED BY THEIR WALK.

Pace Sometimes Indicates the Char.
acter of the Girls.
You have seen the woman who Jerks
her head as she walks, I suppose? The
habit is not uncommon, and on close ac-
quaintance you will find that a woman,
30 afflicted is given to 1ickleness. She,
triies a little too much with love, and
is just the woman to miss a good hus-
band and be sorry afterward, says the
Boston Traveller.
The quiet man will never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement and scurries along as IL
She were running a race. She is bust
ness-like and most likely the woman to
succeed in trade affairs, but her man
ner is n Of those simple things that
worry the quiet man to death.
The girl who cannot walk without
skipping is a very cheerful girl and en-
joys life with much the same gusto as
the girl with an elastic step who tips on
her toes at every stride. But perhaps
the girl we like most is the girl with the
brisk, musical walk, who loves to peep
for a moment into shop windows and
then walk briskly on, and who goes
through life with the fixed resolve of
getting the most pleasure out Of every
thing,

THE BULLDOG A GOOD DOG.
Yet We Do Not Care to Take IAber-
tAaa will, One

We Do Not Care to Take Ltber-
ties with One.
No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no init
mate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pic
tured him as a sort of semi-wild beast,
til the general public has come to look
upon him as dangerous, says Outing.
"Give a dog a bad name," is an old
saw and perhaps a true one, but when 1t
Is applied to the bulldog, 1t is manifest
~ unjust. Writer'S, too, have falleninto
grave error in claiming that the bull
dog Is deficient not only in affection, but
In Intelligence.
No greater proof of the falsity Of the
latter could be given than was wit
messed at the late Westminster Ken
mel clubs dog show, when Col. Shuts
exhibited his trained dogs, with the
bulldog Nick performing all sorts of
wonderful feats, especially that of
walking a tight rope, and, when in the
center of 1t, turning round and retrac-
ing his steps, amid the applause of an
admirng audience.
Stonehenge, who is considered one of
q greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain lis relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted.

In a recent issue of the Chicago
Law journal appears the following
sharp criticism: ''This government
by injunction is the most absolute
despotism and the most fragrant usur-
patton known to organized society.
The power of the federal judges, as
construed by themselves, is greater
than the constitution or the fuuda-
mental rights of man. 1t suspends
the freedom of speech and ofthe press.
1t destroys individual liberty. 1t ex-
ceeds in pretensions and in perform
ance the exploded doctrine of the di-
vine rights of kings. No greater
menace to our liberties could be de-
vised than the federal judges arbi-
trary assumption of omnipotence
and infsllibility."

The fearful heat melts the lead and 1t
eventually vaporizes, the vapor pass
ing up through the ore, forming a cor
rosive substance which transforms into
what is called a waite" everything
In the powdered ore except the gold
and silver. The gold and silver sink
into the molten lead and are drawn of
with 1t. The combination is placed In.
molds about eight inches long and four
inches wide of pyramidal form.
The refining process continues until
the gold and silver are all extracted.
Nh. Brice claims that his first weeks
work resulted In the production OF
more than $4,000 worth Of gold and sill
yer. The wealth, therefore, that must
pass through these furnaces, according,
to his statements, Is likely to be as
great as that hoped for by the man
who is trying to extract all the gold
there is in sea water by means of an
apparatus now in course of erection up
at Passamaquoddy bay on the coast of
Maine.

a POOR COUNTRY.

Should Avoid.
According to a French correspondent,
Algeria is about the last place in the
whole world that q %colonist ought to go
to. The temperature makes both aRri.
cultural and commercial success impos-
sible. The country is a bastard region,
neither European nor colonial. II IT
were two degrees further south, or ten
degrees further north, all would be
changed. In the former case 1t would
be an industrial paradise that would
beat St. Domingo, Ceylon and India, be-
bause, being at the very doors of France,
1t would be a suburb of Europe, whittier
1 100000 or 100000 emigrants would
go to cultivate coffee, indigo, vanilla,
sugar, cotton, pepper and other colonial
products. If Algeria were moved fur
Their north, Its mineral wealth, at pres
ent incapable of exploitation, would en-
able 1t to rival Normandy, Auvergne,
Beaunne and Picardy. AS 1t is, every
thing is blasted by the climate. The
sugar cane has no sugar; it is inferior
bamboo. The coffee berry is empty.
The cotton is too short for spinning.
The cocoa palm bears no fruit; the in
digo plant comes to nothing; the pine
apple will not ripen; and the vanilla
natures only in a dollhouse. None of
the spices will compare with the prod
ucts Of Brazil or India. Corn becomes
hard In the third year; a mealy potato
is unknown. Oxen in four generations
dwindle from 700 or 300 pounds to 800.
Fowls are poor; fruit is wormy; and
even the banana is favorless and pasty.
There are a few good oranges; but the
wine is acrid and rough, the sugar Of
the grape not being amenable to entire
conversion into alcohol. Even the hui
man race is subject to the universal de-
generation.

The Remarkable Task Now in Prog.

UNDERGROUND 10000 FEET.

The Remarkable Task Tow in Prog
res at West Elizabeth, Pa.
copyright. 1871
The remarkable task is now in proc
ess of accomplishment of digging a.
hole 10000 feet deep at West Elizabeth,
Pa, in which it is proposed to place a
mammoth boiler andtto make steam in
it through the heat generated at that
depth by the earth.
At present the depth Of $3.50 feet has
been reached, and no obstruction has
been met which promises permanently
to retard progress of the experiment.
There is no hole in the world like this,
which will be, when the full depth is
attained, nearly two miles from that
part of the earth on which the grass
grows. The shaft of the Red Jacket
mine out in Michigan is said to be
three miles in length, but that meas
urement by no means refers to a per-
pendicular shaft, but to one which af-
ter sinking far under ground, branches
off In horizontal fashion.
The work at West Elizabeth is the
joint idea of Prof. William Hallock,
adjunct professor of physics at the
Columbia university, New York, and
the Forest Oil company, located at the
scene of the digging. The primal source
OF the inspiration of the idea was the
fact that the company is looking for
new oil deposits, and in the search
bored down to the 3,0oO-foot level.
When that point had been reached,
Prof. Hallock heard of it, and suggest
ed the present scheme in the interests
of science.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Bryan Stronger Than Ever.

While it opposed him in 1896, the
New York World admits that Mr..
Bryan's hold on the Democratic
party is stronger than ever. 1t says:
"Mr. Bryan perhaps better than
any other democrat is fitted to lead
in the new revolt against Republican
faithlessness and failure. He has it
in him to become a national henry
George, giving eloquent expression
to what is slumbering In the minds of
the masses. This, and this alone, can
elect him president in 1900. His hold
upon the democratic party in the
nation is stronger than ever. The
democrats who elected Mckinley in
the issue of national honor and sound
money have been afforded no reason
for satisfaction with their choice of
evils. Thousands of them are saying
that they will never again vote for a
republican. The so-calied national
democratic movement is ended. The
World never..sympathized with nor
supported it. The Indianapolis plat
form was constructed under plu-
tocratic influences. 1t evaded the
democratic issue against trusts and
monopolies and the control of
politics"
Thus M by one, the erring ones
are coming around all right and by
the time the national convention of
1900 meets, all the desirable men in
recent gold movement will be back
where they belong and the friends of
plutocracy, who were once called
democrats, will also be where they
belong in the republican party. De-
mocracy Is now what Jefferson and
jackson would have it, the party of
the people. Strange to say the agents
--ef plutocracy conspired to capture
the democratic party after they had
become absolute owners of the re-
publican party and during the late
administration it looked as though
they had ONE chance of succeeding.
The rank and file of the democratic
party can always be relied upon to
oppose any scheme to turn the party
over to the agents of plutocracy. De-
mocracy was never known to cringe
at the feet of monopoly and now
nor than ever it believes in the in
dependence of American manhood

Some Novelties That Attract the Attention of
This Busy World of Ours.

to serve a business purpose, Tor the
power thus obtained will be utilized
for various things at q profit. The
steam will cost practically nothing, and
really the power is unlimited because
the supply is exhaustless. There is no
reason why the power cannot be util-
lied for the generation Of electricity,
and West Elizabeth made an electrical
supply center.
The drill used in this tremendous
task of boring is formed of three-quar-
ter-inch pipes jointed. It is estimated
that ten feet a day is about the max
imum progress. AS the drill pounds
against the rock and disintegrates it,
the water which is forced downward
through the hole made by the drill
trickles into the powder thus formed
and transforms it into paste. This is
sucked up through the hollow drill to
the surface, which it constantly spouts
out.
If it is found possible to penetrate to
the level intended, the hole made by
the drill will be gradually enlarged I'M
til it is possible to lower a boiler down
through the longest Of all shafts. The
problem on the lay mind is, how does
the company propose to secure the
operation OF that boiler by human
means? When the officials are ques-
toned they claim to have found the
solution of the mystery, and say that
when the time comes they will demon
strate that their plan is entirely FEAST
BILE.
In the meantime the boring goes
steadily on. The experiment is being
watched with the keenest interest by
both scientific and commercial ex-
perts.

now? How much gold is now in cir
culation? 1t is difficult to drive any

Blackburn says: ''The mass of the

Mr.. Brice declares that the only rea-
son gold has not been manufactured
before is because no one hitherto has
ever been able to learn just exactly
what gold consists of.
He says that 1t was borne in upon
him that the reason investigators had
failed to learn the secret of the trans
mutation of metals, was that they had
never stopped to consider that the re-
duction of gold itself or silver was not
at all likely to result In showing the
exact proportion of the elements that
went to constitute each. Mr.. Brice,
therefore, experimental in ways that
he keeps to himself, and one day, al
most by accident, he succeeded in
making both gold and silver at the
same time. So he claims.
