SMILED THEIR GLOOM AWAY.
A Young Lady Passenger In n c"Die
Car Makes Irritable Peo-
PIE Cheerful.

A girl kept smiling into vacancy .ns
other afternoon as a cable car rolled
downtown in its customary jerky fash
ion. II was a rainy afternoon n the
passengers in the crowded car were IN
the usual irritable frame of mind that
wet clothes and dampened spirits in

obliyious Of rain and discomfort. Her
ewes were fixed unseeingly on the drip
ping window pane and her mouth kept
rebeliously twitching with the mirth
that would find utterance.
"She must be telling herself funny
stories,y whispered q man grufiy to his
bad-tempered neighbor.
Don't see the joke myself" returned
the neighbor appealed to, trying to
sheer, but getting the OF his
mouth by mistake turned up instead
of turned down.
"Well you look as If you caught the
point, anyway" added the original
speaker, laughing also, and the twisted
sheer that was half a smile developed
instantly into a good-natnred grin.
The girl still smiled through the
window and the men opposite laughed
at each other and her simultaneously
until people across from them began
to laugh too. Quickly the merriment
became contagious, and when a bolster
Gus youth exclaimed, audibly: "Who
killed the ~canary?" little chuckles OF
laughter echoed through the car from
end to end, warming its chilly temper
aturc and turning its gloom into CHEEKY
sunshine. Suddenly at Kinzie street
the girl with the smile disappeared
from view.

fool" she said to herself as she left
the car, 'but | did want to change those
gloomy faces, and as an experiment
think it a decided success. But the

nearly settled my unconsciousness.'
And, still smiling, she walked quickly
away toward the depot.-Chicago Trib-

OIL ON THE WATERS.
h Old Idea Successfully Put Into
Practice It Sea During a storm
on the Atlantic.

For years the idea Of using oil 10
calm the waves of the ocean has been
discussed, but the suggestion has not
until recently received a satisfactory
trial. Capt. Brown, of the British
steamer Batoum, recently arrived at
Liverpool from Philadelphia, writes to
an American friend a graphic descrip-
ton of the effect Of a test he made on
his last voyage. Here is the letter in
part:
1.-THE morning of July 5 was cold and
misty and there was quite a sea on.
In fact, the waves were so high that
they broke clear over the bow of the
Batoum, and some little damage was
wrought to the rail and deckhouses.
with the advancing day the wind in
creased, and toward ten o'clock was
blowing nearly a gale. Its direction
was from nor'east by north, shifting
northeast. Between ten and eleven
o'clock the Batoum shipped some heavy
seas.
Il have recorded in my log that at
exactly 1881 O'Clock, Greenwich time,
a marvellous transformation occurred.
Just when the waves were apparently
the highest, and were pounding with
frightful fury against the ship. In the
twinkling Of an eye the disturbance
ceased absolutely.

A GREAT SOUTHERN A K
Titicnca Lake Is the Most Remark
abIe body OF Water In
south America.

Lake Titicaca is unique amongst the
waters Of the world. Its extent is IA
times that Of the Lake Of Geneva, and
the level of Its surface Is 12,545 feet
above the sea. Along its eastern shore
runs the main Cordillera, rising aloft az
its southern end into the mighty Mount
Sorata, whose broad expanding glaciers
seem to lift themselves like silver from
the waves, The shores and Islands OF
the lake were-wbo knows how long
ago?-the cradle of a remarkable civil
i~zation, or even series of civilizations.
Perhaps latest amongst them was that
OF the Inca tribe, which, rising in this
place, spread northward over the hills
and down a valley to Cuzco, and thence
stretched forth its conquering arm over
a vast area whose exact limits can no
longer be defined. The Incas looked back
to Titicaca island as the sacred spot
whence emerged their legendary found
ers, Nance Capac and his consort Mama
Occlo Huaco. The traveller on the wa
tiers or round the shores of the lake be-
holds many a monument of departed
greatness and industrial prosperity. lie
feels that he is looking upon historic
grounds, and the dim glamour Of a we'll
nigh forgotten past sheds luster upon
peaks and ranges doubtless u~ntrodden
by human foot, but often Travelled by
human eyes, and in whose names yet
linger the fossilized faith and poetry of
departed men.
The waters of Titicaca lake reflect no
longer the splendor of Inca religious
pageants; they are plowed instead by
three bustling steamers, on one OF which
we voyaged III miles to the Bolivian
port of Chililaya. Fortune favored us
with a day brilliant and calm, when the
waves lay asleep and all the hills were
clear. Generally a storm RACES, and the
voyager suffers from such an irresistible
combination of mountain and sea sick
ness that even the hardy stokers OF the
| engines do not become habituated to it,
but suffer like SO many newcomers

THE FIRST GATLING GUNS
An Experimental Weapon was maze
and Tested at Indianapolis
In 1862.

The early inception of the gatling
gun il wrapped in much obscurity.
Some French critics claim that their
mitrailleuse ~antedates it, but there
is absolutely incontrovertible proof
that not only is that not so, but that
the French government made strenu-
ous efforts to secure exclusive control
of Gatling's invention; failing which,
their competing mitrailleuse quickly
followed the adoption OF the doctors
u by the American authorities
Some good Christians have claimed that
DR.. Calling invented this famous
weapon from humanitarian motives
an argument which has some weight,
as we wei! know that a mob, or a
regiment, even, will very quickly get
out of range and danger when once
II is known thar such a gun is facing
them. The doctor himself calls his in
vention a "peace-maker," but, with the
greatest respect TO him, do not believe
he had any idea of saving life or any
thing of that sort in mind while at
work upon the gun, whatever he may
have thought of it since. There was a
field for weapons, offensive and de-
fensive, the more murderous the former
the better, and from what then existed
in firearms and from the fertility of
his own brain, the gatling gun was
eyolved-the first of its kind.
His experimental gun was made and
tested before military men and experts
at indianapolis in 1862. When the first
lot-paid for by DR.. Gatling-was ready
for shipment TO Gen. Butler, the factory
burned, and with it his guns were de-
stroyed and his hopes blighted- An
other year and many thousands OF dol
lars were spent to remake the patterns
and drawings and a new batch o. guns
"a year Of heart-buTning. pinching
and sacrifice that many Of US. at some
time or another, have experienced, and,
therefore, can sympathize with the SUI

guns on the James river near Rich
mond, and the way in which their in
ventor cherishes the records Of the ex-
ecution wrought by them is amusing
when one thinks of the Humanitarian
theories attributed to their origin

CHIEFTAIN BOYCOTT.
Contemplate Action of the
First National Bank.

Whereas, it has come to the
knowledge Of the directors OF the
First National Bank that certain
articles have recently appeared In
a newspaper known as The Indian
Chieftain rejecting upon the hon.
or and integrity of a large part oil
the stockholders of this bank and
also urging the officers Of the Unl-
ted States to enter upon a course
Of uniustifed hostility towards q
large part of the stockholders Of
this bank, Il. a., the cattlemen),
and it appears that the attacks and
insinuations made therein are un.
called for and unwarranted and
made out of a spirit of malice,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
directors of this bank, that this
bank do not further %patronize SAID
paper and that the executive Oh
ficars of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all advertisements and
that hereafter to have all print
inc necessary for the bank done by
persons other than those interest
ed in or connected with said Indian
Chieftain.
