A BATTLE ROYAL.


Allacoochee the wonderful was never
more alive to the tact Of Its own I'm
portance and prosperity than on q Ger
tain day in September which had been
set apart and marked with a red letter
rs the herald Of a new epoch in the his
tory Of the city. 1t was to be "blow-
ing-in" day at the Chiwassee furnace;
and the throbbing pulse of the great
blast-engines would thereupon open
new arteries of industry, flowing with
currents OF molten iron to strengthen
and invigorate the thews and sincws OF
the msny-handed giant Of labor.
There was to be an Industrial parade
and monster meeting in the afternoon
at the furnace. where o platform had
been built for the orators, and where
the train load of capitalists and ex-
cnrsionists to arrive At noon would be
welcomed As the guests OF the city.
At nm early hour in the morning the
streets were througed with visitors
moving In unique crowds under the
gayly decorated awnings, or stopping
In admiring groups to stare at the
elaborate display Of bunting and nagr
'ornamcnting tho company's ofaces In
the Guaranty building. In the anat-
omy Of Allacoochee, the Guaranty
building was the brain: and in one Of
its comfortably furnished cells, iso-
lated by thick walls and deadencd floors
from tho out-of-door turmoil Of this
morning OF expectation, the twin souls
Of the urban monster at facing each

ESKIMO BOWS AND ARROWS
Ingenioua Contrivanees fer seeurins
Game and Fish.


GaAe anA Fish.
Az everyone knows, the Eskimos.
with few exceptions, inhabit . region
which IL perfectly treeless, or at any
rate where nothing grows but pines and
spruces, whose soft, inelastic wood is
entirely nseless for making bows. They
have overcome this dihiculty very eject
lively by fastening along the back Of
the bow twisted cords Of reindeer sinew
In such way that each cord IL stretched
when the bow il bent and flies back
when the bowstring IL released. As far
az we know, no other race Of savages
make use Of this Ingenious contrivance.
Some tribes Of Indians arc in the habit
OF stifsening their bows by backing"
them with strips Of sinew. glued on,
but the Eskimo backing ID made Of
cords and tied on. As old Martin Frob-
Usher, the first Englishman who ever
saw the Eskimos Tin 1s77), tells US:
"Their bowes are Of wood Of yard
long. sincwed on the back with strong
tinewes, not glued too, but fast girded
nnd tyed on"
In some regions the Eskimos when
first visited by white men were still
using bows with very simple backing,
merely 20 or 30 strands Of twine run
ming from one end Of the bow to the
other, twisted together tightly from
the middle, and tied down to the bow
In two or three places. Ny friends at
Point Barrow and along the adjacent
coast, however, had gone on improv-
ing the bow until II was the best made
by ESkimos anywhere.-John Murdoch,
