A Test for HOrsefiesh.

"People are apt to jump at conclu-
sons," said chemist, in speaking OF
the latest notable murder case. Chem
istry is very nice science, but it is
possible to make some sad blunders in
applying 1t to law and evidence. There
are certain things you can prove by it
II you are sure of your premises and
certain other things that you cannot.
This thing of trying to prove good
deal by chemistry calls to mind the
beef-extract case that gave packer in
this city considerable uneasiness.
Somebody got hold of his beef ex-
tract and claimed that it was made
from horsefiesh, and 1t was proved by
analysis-that is, TO the satisfaction of
the man that analyzed it. The ordi-
nary test for horsefiesh. according to
the authorities, is glycogen. This is "A
substance that, speaking in general
way, is found In horsefiesh, but does
not exist in beef. and it was shown
that this particular extract contained
glycogen.
"The packer came TO us in some dis
tress of mind for a way out of the diff
Guilty. He said his extract was made
of nothing but beef, and he wanted us
to help him prove it, and we did so to
his relief and to the satisfaction of the
health officers. We demonstrated that,
while an ordinary piece of beef did not
contain glycogen, 1t existed in the
heart, liver and blood of cattle, and
some of each of these might have EN-
tered into the making of the beef ex-
tract. The result was that the chemist
who had arrived at such sweeping con-
clusions from the first test had to back
down from his position. = Chicago

A Curious Lion story.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa. thew
were sometimes seen instructing one an.
other in voluntary gymnastics and prao.
tlcing their leaps, making bush play
the part of the absent game. Moffat
tells the story of lion, which had
missed zebra by miscalculating the
distance, repeating the jump several
times for his own instruction. Two of
his comrades coming upon him while he
was engaged in the exercise, he led
them around the rock to show them how
matters stood, and then, returning to
the starting point, completed the lesson
by making final leap. The animals
kept roaring during the whole of the
curious scene, talking together, as
the native who watched them said. By
the aid of individual training of this
kind industrial animals become apter
as they grow older; old birds, for in
stance, constructing more artistic nests
than young ones, and little mammals
like mice becoming more adroit with
age. Yet, however ancient in the life of
the species these acquisitions may be,
they have not the solidity of primordial
instincts and are lost rapidly if not
used.-M. g. Letourneau in Popular
Science Monthly

that he had never carried arms of any
kind. but. on the other hand, it was
shown that he had for some time ofsici-
ated as piper In Highland regiment.
1t is not unlikely that he had been
pressed into the service, for we are told
'he behaved very devoutly, prayed fer
vently, and sang part of psalm. NOT
withstanding these most untraditional
piper traits, however, the court found
poor Reid guilty of high treason, and
him to suffer the punishment
which that crime involved. 1t was held
that Highland regiment never
marched without a piper, and, there
fore, his bagpipes in the eye OF the
law was an instrument of war" There
is little wonder, in the face of such a
decision, that Pennant when he came
north later in the century found the

POksR IN THE kLONDlkE,
One Game i'm Which the Winner Scoop
ed in $24o,0OO in Gold Dust.

\ recently returned prospector, who
was one of the first to reach the Klon-
dixie when the initial rush began, tells
of a poker game which took place In
Dawson City, the metropolis of the
newly discovered Eldorado, In which
the players bet two-quart jars and kero-
Sene cans of gold dust. There were
large number of miners in the place ut
the time, waiting to be taken down to
ST. Michaels by boat, and all had dust.
Three of the crowd started game one
night in saloon and Il couple more
soon joined in.
'Money-that is, coined money-is
scarce in that region, so dust and mug
gets We're used" said he prospectof
in telling of the game. AT the start of
the game white sheets of note paper
We're spread ON the table, and when
man would ante he would put In
pinch of dust. The matter of few
dollars difference caused by this care
less method did not cut any Ice with
the players. The play was even. No
one could win more than ten or fifteen
ounces at the outside, SO no one was
satisfied. Finally the break came.
Sandy Mcleod, who had gone into the
country as sergeant of mounted police,
was one of the players. He was dealt
ii hand that seemed to suit him. The
man to his right seemed to be pretty
well fixed also, and bet handful of
coarse gold. sandy reached into his
sack, drew out handful, laid 1t along
side the other, then turned to his pack
and, lifting out two-quart jar of gold
said Il raise you that
The next man was Joe Hollings
head, Texan, the discoverer of the
Bonanza Creep camp. Joe saw the bet
and raised 1t another jar. The next
man was Swede, and he passed out.
The last man, the dealer, hesitated
long, but finally tossed his cards In the
center also. The opener saw the raise
and lifted 1t another Jar. Then he lay
back complacently. Sandy hesitated
not a second but reached for his out
tit again and produced II can of dust,
with the jar to see tho other raise, re-
marking, Raise you can.
"In the deal the first man took two
cards, Sandy took two also, and Joe
took but one. The first man had failed
to fill. He dropped out Sandy had
no more Oil cans of gold, but he had two
Jars full, and Joe had an equal amount.
Which one of the boys bet | do not
recollect, but, anyway. both had their
jars on the table at about the same
time, and showdown was demanded.
Sandy had three AGES, a queen and
jack, and Joe had four kings and an
ace.
'How much gold was on the table at
the time? Well, | can't give the exact
amount, but | should calculate that
there was In the neighborhood of $780,

THE RAM kATAHDlN.
The Powerful u. :. Turtie-back Ship
Recently Placed in Commission.


The belief prevails among naval of
ficers that in naval fight the country
would be electrified with the havoc
caused among the enemy's fleet by
such vessel AS the katahdin. No
modern vessel of this kind has ever
been used in actual warfare, and, in
fact, the Katahdin is about the only
craft of her kind in the world. She re-
sembles the old-stylc ram Merrlmac
only in the use of armor. the employ
ment of steam power and the pointed
steel PROV.
The Katahdln has a length on
the load water line of 300 feet
and her beak or ram, which is below
the water line. gives her an extreme
length of about 254 feet. Other statis-
ties of the vessel are: Displacement

strong. When the depth of water is
considerable, or when the current is
rapid, ground mines"-heayy mines
similar in construction to the others,
but resting on the bottom-must be
used. Ground mines have been plant
ed in siXty-tive feet of water. For this
depth charge of about 200 pounds
of guncotton, equivalent to 1880 pounds
of gunpowder, should be used. The
method of firing the ground mine is
very simple and ingenious. The mine
is held in position on or near the
Two observers are usually employed to
determine when the enemy is directly
over the mine. The mine is then eX-
ploded by means of electric cables.
High explosives like guncotton, dyn-
amite or explosive gelatine are used
in submarine mines at present. They
are superior TO gunpowder III that they
are not seriously affected by moisture.
A leak in the case containing the
charge will not render 1t useless, as
would be the case with gunpowder
mines. Besides, the high explosives
are from four to six times as powerful
as gunpowder. The pressure necessary
to blow a hole through the double bot
tom of modern ship has been esti-
mated to be between 6,000 and 12,00C
pounds per square inch.
The important function of the sub
marine mine defense is to check the
first advance of a naval enemy against
seaport, thus giving the defenders
time TO concentrate their ships 10 meet
the attack.

and thence to the station on shore,
where there is another break in the
electric firing circuit. Unless this lat
fer break in the circuit is also closed at
the shore station the firing pin, when
driven in. will not explode the mine.
Herein is an element of safety to
friendly ships. When no enemy Is in
s,oht and friendly ships are passing in
and out, the break is left open at the
shore station, so that mine if struck
will not explode.
The contact, electro-contact and OBJ
seryatlon mines can only be used in

ship channels leading to our seaports,
but they must stick to the middle of
the channel if they enter at all. When,
therefore, the outer entrance to the
ship channel is beyond bombarding
distance of city it may be possible to
plant such a system of mines that an
enemy cannot pass.
There are several kinds of submarine
mines. The simplest form is the con-
tact mine, which consists of an iron
case (A), containing the explosive
charge, and cable (C) attaching it to
the slnker CD, by which it is held in
place. The case ca has a number of
projecting points (B), each armed with
a firing pin. If a ship hits one of these
firing pins the latter will be driven in.
exploding percussion cap, and the
charge will then burst. The distance
of the charge (A) below the surface
must be so regulated that it may NOT
be too near the surface when the tide
is low, nor too far below the surface
when the tide is high. An immersion
of at least eight feet is necessary to
give the charge the force TO destroy a
modern ship.
The "eleetro-eontact mine Is con
structed on the same general plan as
the contact mine, but some of the
weaknesses of the latter are removed.
The firing pins (Bl, instead of eXplod-

harbor defense and are particularly
useful in this country. With an ex-
tensive coast and many large seaports,
q country like this must resort to ev-

beyond bombarding distance. This

Let Us Have Peace.

The long campaign of the past four months has been brought to a close, and thus the curtain is rung down on the last act of the most ex- citing political contest that eyer disouieted Jefferson county. In many respects it was the most re- markable campaign ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitant, and those who have unhappilY been in it and through it may never witness its like again. Two primary elections, so bitterly fought and stubbornly contested, ending in such doubt and dissatisfaction, is altogether re- markable and unprecedented event in political history. But the end has come, and after four months oI division and struggle, the matter has been finally and decisively set tied, and public and .riyate affairs can. resume their usual won't
 There have been acrim0ny and bitterness, crinination and recrim. ination, but, now that the issue is settled, let peace be restored to a community so badly and recently rent by dissension. Let our people divert their attention from politics, and direct their efforts to restoring peace and prosperity to the city and county. The same zeal that has been employed in our political af- fairs, if directed and utilized in the development of our material and in- dustrial affairs, would make Pine Bluff one of the most prosperous manufacturing centers in the South ern states. We, of the South, de- vote too much time and attention to elections; if our state and county elections came only in periods of four instead of two years, Arkansas would make more rapid progress in material development.
 But after all, the campaign, as ex- citing ard exasperatiug as it has been, has not been without beneic- iaI results. It has directed public attention to the loose, and often reckless management of our party and the selection of it's nominees, and will exercise corrective
