INDIANS AS
Instances of Their Remarkable Powers of
Endurance.

From L~ippincott's Magazine.
General Crook is quoted by Edward
S. Ellis as having been an Apache lope
for 1,5OO feet up the side of a mountain
without showing the first signs of
fatigue, there being no perceptible sign
of increase of respiration. Capt. II. l..
Scott of the 9TH cavalry has related
some astonishing feats performed by
the Chiracahua Apaches forming Troop
J. Of his regiment. He tells how min of
these Indians, after a hard days work.
by way of recreation, pursued a coyote
for two hours, captured the nimble
brute and brought il into camp; how,
on another OCCASION, the scouts gave
chase to a deer. ran it down some nine
miles from camp and fetched it in alive.
Hence | see no good reason for doubt
ing the word of an old-timcr | met in
the Rocky mountains, who told me
that, i'm the days before the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad was built, the
Pima Indians of Arizona would recover
settlers stray horses. along the over
land trail, by walking them down in
the course of two or three days. After
this one may begin to believe that
Lying Jim" Beckwourth, whose re-
markable adventures early in this CEN
fury are preserved in book form, was a
much-maliEned mar and that he spoke
no more than the truth when he said
he had known instances of Indian run
ners accomplishing upward of 10 miles
in one day.

A NEW STUDY.
The United states Must Take Her Proper
Place In the World.

Saratoga. n. Y. Aug. 30.-Before the
American Social Science association,
which has a membership of about 400.
and which is holding its annuel session
here. an interesting paper was e to-
hight by William 7. Harris Of Wash
ington. United States commissioner Of
education. He discussed the signifi-
canoe of the recent advance in college
and university education in the United
States and said in part: 1T has been
a question Of time only. during the past
20 years. when we. as a nation. should
take our actual part in the manage
ment of the affairs of the world; when
we should be counted with the others
as a sixth great power in the govern
ment of Asia. Africa and the isles of the
sea. This very summer we ave en-
tered upon our new epoch as an active
agent in the collected whole Of great
powers.
This new era is one of great portent
to the statesmen of America. All legis-
lation hereafter must be scrutinized in
view Of its influence upon our internal
tional relations. We cannot any longer
have that snug sense of security and
Isolation which has permitted up to leg
islate without considering the effect of
our action on foreign nations. Hereafter
our foremost national interest must be
made on the characters. ~inclinations
and interests of foreign powers. 1t is
obvious that this study requires a
greater breadth Of education, more care
full studies in history and in the man
ners and customs OF European nations:
their methods Of organizing armies and
navies. We mus even master foreign
literature and see what are the funda-
mental aspirations Of the people who
read them. All this study concerns the
systems of education in this country. 1t
indicates the function of the school
master in tho coming time"

BIRDS ON TALL BUILDINGS.
How the Old Ones Teach the Young Ones
tn IlN.


Since the tall office buildings have
Gene into vogue. the sparrows nave
gone upward TO build their nests. and
tToods are reared every season 100 feet
or more above the street. The young
tledElings are safe from cats and an
noying small boys. but their security
I'm that respect is offset by the danger
OF falling out OF the nest. The parent
birds are so fearful OF such an accident
that one or the other stands OF guard
at all hours Of the day.
when the time approaches for the
young birds To fly the parents show
their anxiety in many ways. They
seem To try to induce their young to
stay I'm their nests until their wings
are strong enough to upD them.
but If one should nop out before the
proper time the two old birds go To the
rescue.
An Instance Of this kind happened a
few DAYS ago at old Trinity. The stee-
pie Of the church is a ~faVorite breeding
place Of the sparrows. and clumsy nests
are poked away in every nook and cor
ner. In a nest perched nearly up TO the
cross that surmounts the steeple, the
second brood Of young sparrows have
just reached the dying age. and the
other day the foremost youngrtsr

n PITCH LAKE.
1t l. Inexhaustible Apparently, No Mat
ter How Heavily Drawn On.

1t l. ~eXhaustibl Apparently, No Mat
ter How Heavily Drawn On.
The famous pitch lake, a great btu
men deposit of Trinidad, is situated at
Point Librea, on al. elevation Of about a
mile from the sea. 1t covers an area of
nearly one hundred acres, and its APP
pearance is that of a dun, still, dark
water. 1t is ~iTregularly circular, and its
surface ~perCeptihly convex, being more
elevated in the center and thence insen-
sibly declining on all sides. I'm the cen
ter the pitch is quite soft-in fact. semi
~liquid-hut il becomes more and more
hardened as its circumference widens
out. Except the soft central parts, the
surface is interseCtcd in all directions
by numerous assures or chasmS, varying
i'm breadth from two feet to 10 feet, and
from half a foot to seven feet in depth,
widening also at the surface, and ter
minuting acutely at the bottom, thus
producing, as ii were, inverted angular
hollows, while the sides are regularly
rounded.
These ~crevices are at all times filled
with fresh water. Here n there where
the bitumen is mixed with earthly water,
grow lichens. mosses, grasses, etc. The
center Of the lake, the pitch pot, or
]chaudiere, as il is called, is at all times
so soft that IL would be impossible to
venture on IL without mourning the dan
ger Of being engulfed. The lake is gov
eminent property. and parts of IL are
leased out to private individuals, VINO
nave To pay royalties according to the
amount OF pitch removed, which amount
is checked by the government. The pitch
lake is practically inexhaustible. No
matter what quantity Is taken out, II
is replaced by fresh pitch, which al
ways wells up To fiji the hole. The sur
face of the outer edges of this most Won
derful Of lakes is quite hard enough 10
walk upon: but a curious result ensuss
IL YOU stand still for any length Of time
on one spot. For some yards around you
the pitch bodily sinks until IL forms a
basin. 1t is quite different to sinking
in sand, where your feet gradually dis
appear without making any apparent
