 AS the members of the Signal Corps are also typographical engineers, it is a simple matter for them to prepare accurate maps of the country beneath them, while suspended out of harm S way above an enemy's camp. The adoption of teleo-p photographic lenses also gives them means by which as &C., curate photographs can be made as If the artist were actually in the fortifi- cations.
 Statistics show that it is almost inn possible to hit a captive balloon with musketry fire when at an elevation of 2000 feet The balloon is kept moving almost necessarily, and in that lies a great measure of it's safety. Nearly all the standing armies of the world are now equipped with balloon corps, and the value of this sort of aerial survey ing, in time of war, Is incalculabie, at least 1t Is so admitted by the military experts, and they ought to know.

When about 300 900 900 vibrations are reached there is another in hearing, for we again see nothing. Fi- nally. when the vibrations reach so high that they cannot be calculated, then gradually light begins to be seen, which increases in brilliancy, until white light is produced, when the possibility of hu- man sensations ceases altogether.
 Thus the sensations of the human or basis and all of them caused by vibra lions But this is not all Taste and smell are also caused by vibrations. It is known by chemists and scientists that a rnolecule of matter has a vibratory mo- ton. One effect of this molecular vibra- ton is the sensation of taste when the molecules come in contact with the nerves of the throat and palate. Another is when the sense of smell is aroused by these molecules entering the nostrils.
 One peculiar fact is that we can only taste the sweets by the nerves of the tip of the tongue and the btters by those of inc hack of the tongue, while the salts tasted at the center of the tongue. The same takes place with the nose The sweet perfumes of flowers are smelled at the fore part of the nose and the stenches farther back The reason of this is the fact that nerve is composed of thou each one Is only affected by a certain vibration. then passes to higher ones, or to one that responds, and so on, until the little group of nerves is exhausted then the next group is called upon. That is how the fore and back nerves of the

WONDER AND MYSTERY OF VIBRATIONS.

Science has proven that the planets and the bodies which make up our solar sys- tenn have each an individual motion so clearly defined and mathematical that it is known for years ahead when the moon or the sun will be eclpsed, when a star or a planet will be hidden by the disk of the passing moon-in fact, everything has a perfect, orderly and mathematical motion.
 Only within recent years have there been discoveries made that would throw much light on anything pertaining to the human mind, especially the senses. But the construction of some fine mechan- isms have made it possible to get to a definite basis as to what the sensations of the human body consist of. It has been found that the human organism is susceptible only to vibrations.
 A vibration is a rapid, rhythmic to and fro motion; for instance, if you take

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.
Common Error Corrected-f'ncts Com
ccrning Their Reliability and
Intcgrity Arc Given.

A very common error IS prevalent
that the work of reporters given in
newspapers as rule is not entitled TO
respect or credence. 1t is generally
assumed that the reporter writes chiefly
or wholly to make sensation, or in
some way interest readers without re-
gard to facts, while just the reverse is
the truth in all reputable newspaper es-
Establishments.
It Is safe TO nssume that the staio-
ments of reporters given in the leading
reputable journals of the country are
cutie as truthful as are The general
statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside OF strictly reli-
gious teachings, and very much more
truthful than are the public expressions

fessious.

Nat only are the managers OF our
leading newspapers entitled TO great
credit for the scrupulous care they en-
force on their reporters and CORE

The chances at birth that baby will

may seem surprising, but it IS largely
accounted for by the great mortality

The most popular time for woman
TO get married is from her twenty-frst

More than one-half OF the women who

The mines on the Mesaba
range that shipped over the Du-
Iuth, Missabe s Northern road
during the past season increased
the aggregate shipments over
those of 1897 by 1885, gross
IONS, says the News Tribune
One-third Of the increase comes
from a new mine, the Pillsbury,
WHICH vas ashipper this season
for the first time. The Franklin
mine, which last year shipped
only 800 tons, came to the
front this season with over 200,
900 tons. The Adams more than
doubled its output this year as
compared with 1897. The Oliver
properties show a falling off as
does the Biwabik. The Oliver
properties in 1897 shipped 1874,
6l0 tons while this year they
shipped 1,035,8l3 tons, adecrease
Of 338. 797 tons In view of the
*act that the aggregate ship

Missabe road for 1893 show an
increase of nearly 100000 in the

Oliver properties, the showing
for the season is considered ex-
ceptoaally good.
