Close to the Moon.

Herr Johann Mayer, an Austrian
lieutenant, has just discovered a
method by which the moon eau be
brought within pistol-shot of the
world. figuratively speaking. Moth
ing above the many marvels OF
modern invention is more astonish-
ing than this same discovery. By
this invention Herr Mayer says the
moon can be brought within a dis
lance of 100 yards. in fact, and
explored most thoroughly. Profes-
sor Gates combined microscope.
telescope was brought to be q mar
yelous contriYanoe, but this latest
addition puts it quite in the shade.
In his success Herr Mayer has
made wide departure from Gus
tomary methods. In fact, the
monster telescopes do not figure
in his calculations whatever. With
out going into a long dlawn-out
or technical explanation of the ap-
paratus he has constructed, it is a
novel affair, in that an enormous
parabolio mirror 30 yards in d.
ameter that reyolves upon a fixed
axis is the main scheme of the ap-
paratus. This concave mirror,
which is of the ordinary "silvered"
glass, has small convex parbolic
mirror suspended at its focus; and
this small mirror focuses the rays
received from the larger one and
throws them on the lens of an i'm
mensely powerful microscope. Thus
a clear and brilliantly lighted pic
ture Of the moon or star under ex-
animation is brought Immediately
under the microscope, which has
magnifying power of many million
diameters. Herr Mayer explains
that it will thus be possible, al
most, to see the time by the watch
of the ''man in the moon," or to
see the bridges (if any over the
canals of Mars.

What Will We Do {?

The Idaho boys are expected to
land in San Francisco to-day, and
after a two weeks sojourn there will
resume their journey home. Now,
then, the question naturally arises
What will Cottonwood do in the
way of giving &c" company a
proper reception. The boys have
shed the lustre of brave deeds and
fine military discipline on our
Seem of the Mountains" and they
should be shown our appreciation
of the yalor they have displayed.
So the question is: What shall we
do? Committees of arrangement
and reception should be appointed
and steps taken at once to entertain
our soldier boys.

A Schoolboy View of Poetry.

Winchester (KyD Democrat)
John J. Cornelison died Tuesday at
Lexington and his remains were carried
through here Wednesday for Mount
Sterling for interment.
Some fifteen years ago Cornelison walk
ed into the office of Judge Richard Reid
of Mount Sterling and cowhided him into
state of collapse. Cornelison claimed
that Reid was responsible for an adverse
decision given him in the superior court
of Kentucky.
Public opinion demanded that Judge
Reid slay the man that had thus publicly
mistreated him, but he was q. Christian
gentleman that could not stain his hand
with the blood of his fellow man. He
made a public speech at Mount Sterling
in which he explained his views, but many
of his friends thought that the blood of
Cornelison could alone atone for this in
suit The proud spirit of Reid could not
endure the imputation of cowardice, and
in less than a week he was dead by his
own hand.
Cornelison was arrested and his case
was kept before the public mind for a
long time by a. series of habeas corpus
proceedings. After spending five years in
jail Cornelison was released. Public
opinion was so strongly against him that
his career as a lawyer was virtually
closed. and his life work ended. He has
lived in comparative seclusion and his
death will carry his case to a higher
court than public opinion or any other
earthly tribunal.

LANGUAGE AMONG SAvAGES.
Can White Man Retain Command
of His Mother Tongue in IsolationP


The question whether it is possible to
retain knowledge of the English Ian
guage after a sojourn of thirty years
with Australian, savages is one Of the
most interesting questions raised in
connection with the remarkable career
of Louis de Rougemont, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Some light is cast upon
it in the autobiographies of James Nor
rill, a native of Maldon, Essex, who
spent seventeen years with the blacks
of northeastern Australia, and William
Buckley of Macclesford, who lived for
thirty-two years with the blacks. De-
scribing his deliverance, Morrill, says:
Il looked at the sheep, but could not
see the shepherd, so 1 went farther on,
and came to a water hole, where l
washed myself to make myself as white
as possible. 1 went on still farther till
l saw the smoke of fire in q hut and
heard noises. 1 did not know what to
do and how best to make myself
known. 1 took courage and called cut,

They asked me whether I knew what

They told me it was Saturday, the 25th
day of January, 1863. They reckoned
back to 1916, when 1 was lost, and told
me it was seventeen years, and asked
me if I thought it was that long. L
said no, not half so long"
On the other hand, Buckley writes:

ton, as the least appearance OF such

Symptoms That the Road Will Go to
Lewiston.

From the amount of work being done
on the Moscow Qda.) branch, many be-
lieve it is the intention of the o. R. &
n. to build from Moscow to Lewiston,
thus making this branch a part of the
main line to Lewiston and the Camas
prairie country, says the Inter-moun-
tain. New steel has been laid almost
the entire length of the branch, and
will be completed as soon as the
weather will permit. All bridges are
being rebuilt and all culverts and tres
ties have been filed in and made solid,
and when the work now mapped out is
completed this win be one of the best
pieces of track on the o. r. & n. sys-
tenn.
The belief that the road viii be built
to Lewiston from Moscow is strength
ened by the fact that the party OF en-
gineers under Captain Wanger is push
ing steadily on down the Potlach from
Moscow.

more and more irritable and extremely
unhappy and melancholy, while the
flesh became thin and fiabby, with
sallow bilious appearance.
Being of an analytical mind, 1 have
observed these symptoms not only in
myself, but in other coffee-uSers, and
during the past few years have been
casting about to find suitable bever-
age for breakfast in place of coffee or
tea. One day my wife brought home a
box of Postum Cereal Food Coffee from
the grocer's. and the result of the eX-
pertinent was very satisfactory-Quite
beyond our hopes. We discovered that
there are two ways to make Postum,
underboiled it is fat and tasteless, but
when properly boiled, it is perfect in
its coffee taste, fully as pleasant, but
effects vastly different. Instead of in
creasing irritability, it allayed it, CIV
ing that satisfied feeling which only
comes from food which digests and as
Stimulates at once. 1t is a very common
occurrence for visiting friends to use
the Postum right along at the meals,
complimenting the excellence of our
coffee and not being aware they are
using Postum Food Coffee until told.
Postum has solved the problem for us

three times a day and bless the man
who invented it. Edwin w. Foster, In
