pushed him off the bench. Harrison
drew his saber and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Tecumseh, great on ready
reply, then drew that striking smile
between his act and that of the white
mar pushing his people off their lands.
Here, too, Tecumseh threw himself on
the ground and, embracing it, avowed
that the sun was his father, the earth
his mother, and he would rather repose
in her bosom than to make the con
cessions and betray his people. It was
highly dramatic.
The Harrisons left for Fort Harri-
son-Terre Haute-in 1911. Gen. Har-
rison was then en- route to meet Te-
cumseh in battle. The climax of this
move was T~ippecanoe, which shat
tered the great Tecumseh conspiracy.
The organization of Illinois and Michi-
gan reduced Indiana Territory to its
present limits and the Harrisons went
to Corrydon, then made the seat OF
government. There are very few of the
old Harrison relics left. Probably the
most notable is his dress sword, which
is in the "Old Curiosity Shop" in Terre
Haute.

proof as neal as possible by packing
clay between the ceilings and the floors
and between the walls.
William Henry Harrison had twelve
children, and he had many subjects
who were little more than slaves. He
quartered the family, for the most part,
on the top floor, though all of the
cooking was done in the cellar, and the
family dining room was there. The
cellar was principally used, however,
as a territorial warehouse. One room
was a great powder magazine, and in
it for several years were stored all of
the territorial powder, bullets and flint
lock and smooth-bore rifles and other
weapons of defense. In another sec
ton of the cellar was the cell room, in
which the prisoners of state, slaves and
Indians were incarcerated. The SOCK
cts for the iron bars still remain, but
the bars have disappeared. Another
room was his wine cellar. The Harri-
sons were good livers and were sur
rounded by French settlers who were
experts at wine-making. From an
other room there was a mysterious
tunnel, which ran to the river bluffs,
some distance away. 1t was provided
as an avenue of escape in ease the In
dams made a successful attack and

The appearance in n of the Sep
TENDER magazines of another sympo-
SUM on THE Secret of Success" may
be regarded as one more sign of the
fascination which this subject has for
ambitious young America. 1t is in re-
Spouse to a genuine demand that SIM
liar articles have appeared in print in
this country at intervals for many
years, and the interest in the theme
seems in nowise abated. The young
American, more than the young man
of any other country, is filled from the
start with the purpose not merely to
do we'll, but to do so we'll as to win
distinction. Any advice as to how tnat
end is to be attained is absorbed with
eager interest, even though the bur-
den of the counsel, as in the case of
the symposium in Pearson's Maya
zine, which is written by several mer-
chant princes and brilliant profession
al men, is the same. Men whose call
ings are so unlike as are those of DR..
Parkhurst, Gen. Miles, Admiral Samp-
son, E. L. Godkin and DR.. George F.
Shrady, to say nothing of several NIL
lionaires, are practically unanimous
in r~eiterating that hard work is at the
bottom of all true success.

BY u New Process Made as Quickly as
Photographs.
Heretofore it has not been possible
to make a photograph as quickly as a
photograph. Ordinarily from n to
three minutes are required to make a
satisfactory Photograph of a hand. Mr..
E. w. Caldwell, however, has brought
the achievements CT the X-ray pretty
close to those of white light. In the
New York Electrical Review he pub
fishes two reproductions of radio
graphs; one made in one-five-thou-
isandth of a second, the other in six
acknowledgements of a second; the
latter is strong and brilliant. These
pictures were made without any new or
unusual method, but it was, of course,
necessary to use very efficient tubes
and exciting apparatus, and to develop
The negative with care. The exciting
apparatus consisted of a good, oil-in-
Su1ated induction coil, giving a four
tecn-inch spark, and a liquid inter-
rupter making thirty-four breaks per
second. Current from the Edison
mains at III volts was used. The neg
atives were made on celluloid films laid
face down upon a calcium tungstate
screen. AS celluloid offers much less
resistance to X-rays than glass, the
film so arranged utilized the fuorescent
screen to the greatest advantage.

H. Schaw proposes to blast with
high-pressure steam, instead of the
usual infiammable explosives, which
are so dangerous, in fiery mines. MI.
Schaw suggests that a cartridge OF
water lodged in a shot hole could be
converted into steam at a pressure OF
about $50 pounds a square inch by
means of low-tension electricity, and
the cartridge should be made of such
strength that it would burst at about
this pressure, when the force set at
liberty would break down the coal.
When the cartridge bursts the wire is
fused and the electric circuit is broken,
so that there is no further risk OF
ignition of iredamp or coaldust. Mr.
Schaw maintains that the force devel-
oped by the water cartridge will be
sufficient to break down the undercut
coal in a mine.

When congress, in 1898, enacted that
thereafter all first-class battleships and
monitors owned by the United States
shall be named for the states" it IN
Willingly provided a cause of conten-
ton among some of the states. Re-
Gently the good people of Connecticut
objected because the name Of their
state was selected for a vessel no more
pretentious than a 2,755-ton monitor.
AS the law, moreover, while providing
that all battleships and monitors shall
be named after states, does not provide
that each state shall have a vessel Of
one of those classes to bear its name,
it happens that the citizens of Cali
fornia are now objecting because their
state is to be represented in the navy
not by a battleship but by an armored
cruiser.

tile Indian that night while he was
pacing the floor with the newborn.
1t was to this house that Tecumseh
and his warriors came and, under an
elm tree, 800 yards from this house,
occurred that great conference be-
tween Tecumseh and Harrison, which
is a part of American history. Almost
every brick and every timber Is his
torical to some degree.
In 1901, when William Henry Harri-
son went to Vincennes, he recognized
the necessity of al official residence,
which would also serve as a territorial
white House." an Indian fort and an
ammunition warehouse. The Indian
troubles were becoming serious. 1t
was the beginning of that crisis which
Tecumseh brought about, and which
closed with the battle Of T~ippecanoe.
1t was erected to meet all of these re-
quirements. Though it has stood for
almost a century, it is probably the
most substantial building in Vincennes
today. It is by 70 means ante
dated in architecture. Harrison spared
no money to attain the ends which
time has proven were successful.
Every bit of the material entering into
the construction was made or finished
by hand. The brick were made one at
a time by. that method, and even the
laths were turned out that way. The

scaled the palisades which surrounded
the property.
On the first floor was the old council
chamber, a remarkable room, 25x30
feet in dimensions, with a thirteen
foot ceiling. The original small win
dow panes are preserved. 1t is claimed
they were taken from the windows of
an old building at Trenton, N. j., and
through them no doubt the old colo
nists looked upon Hessians and the
colonial forces. In this large chamber
all of the territorial representatives
gathered, discussed and passed laws
which fell within their prescribed
rights. In the room right across the
corridor, Nancy Polk, niece of Presi-
dent Polk, and a great favorite in
Washington during his administration,
taught school for two or three years,
making the building a seat of learning
as we'll as of administration. Recently
one of her pupils came back to look at
the room. The guest dining-room was
located Just behind the council cham
Der, and here William Henry Harrison
did honors on state occasions. Be-
sides the living quarters on the third
floor there were three guest chambers.
The building overlooks the beautiful
Wabash. It was in one corner of Har-
rison's plantation of 1000 acres which
he named "My Plantation Grouseland."

Their victory has been greater than
they anticipated. The emperor's wishes
regarding the measure were well

with a strong hand very plain IN his

lating to the Dortmund-Rhine canal by

A serious encounter too< place
Monday afternoon between Dor9 n
Bros, the contractors, and a gang
of about 35 dagoes. at the formers
railway camp about six lilies this
side of Port Hill.
Mr.. Mike Doran came ur to Bon.
ners Ferry on Tuesdays boat and
gave US the statements credited to
him below. Mr. Doran was look
ing somewhat the worse for the
scrap, his clothing being cut in
many places, while his face was
somewhat disfgured where a dago
knife had grazed his cheek. He
was stabbed in several places, but
meme of the cuts were serious

had had trouble with them, as they
had demanded their time and per-
sisted in staying in the office while
it was being made out. The dagoes
were in an ugly frame Of mind
about the road poll tax, which they
insisted that they would not allow
to he deducted. Pat had to put
them out of the building. After
giving some instructions to the
foreman of the scraper gang | re-
turned to the office to assist Pat
with the time, and had no more
than closed the door when the da-
goes set up yell and made rush
for US, shooting as they came. We
were unarmed except for rifle,
which we could not get at, and AL
we could do when they broke in
the door in the rush was to knock
them down with our fists and keep
them off as best we could. Pat
reaching under bunk for the rifle,
got a bullet in the back of his neck
and an ugly knife wound in the
same locality and had to go at them
again with his fists, for had they
got at us they would have cut us Ia
pieces sure. Finally | succeeded
in getting hold of an ak handle anC
