Baden Powell used to make de-
ducti ons from everyday inciden
a regular practice, in order that he
might complete his training as
successful cavalry scout. Here is
an example of the Sherlock
Holmes method which Colonel
Baden Powell employs in scouting.
RIDING one day across an open
grass plain in Matabeland, he sud
1enly noticed that the grass had
been recently trodden down. Fol
loving up the track, he soon found
that il was the "spoor' Of several
women and BOYS going in the di-
rection ol the enemy, A tell tale
Leaf. which he saw lying few yards
off the track whereas there were
no trees for miles-conVinced him
that the party had come from a
village some fifteen miles distant,
where trees with leaves OF this kind
grew. The leaf was damp, and
smelt OF native beer. He guessed,
therefore, that women and boys,
according to their custom, had
been carrying pots of native beer
on their heads, and that the mouths
OF the pots had beeI stopped with
punches OF leaves. That it was
lying 70 yards of the track showed
to the military Sherlock Holmes
that a wind had been blowing at
the time it fell. Itwas then nearly
seven in the morning, and there
was no wind, but there had been a
breeze about two hours before.
Baden Powell read from these very
trIhing signs that during the night
a party Of women had brought beer
from the village, hlteen miles dis
tant, and had taken it to the enemy
on the hills, arriving there about
SIX o'clock. He further guessed
that the men would probably start
to drink the beer at once, and that
by the tive he could reach them
they would be getting sleepy from
it, and therefore give him a favor
able chance OF Teconnoitring their
position. He accordingly followed
the women's tracks, found the
enemy as he supposed, made his
observations, and got away with
valuable information without any
difficulty.

The ORIGIN OF The NEWSPAPER.
In the LeIpzIg Dahei5R Ernst Me
mann has an interesting study Of
the origin of the newspaper, says
the New York Nation. The well
known Acka DiuyHa. in Rome IN
the time OF Caesar, has no histori-
cal connection whatever with latter
day newspaperdom. Modern Jour
nalism is not OF Roman, but chiefly
OF Germanic, origin. In fact, what
are now newspapers are really only
developments OF a kind OF circu
lating letters which, as early as the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
passed between business houses
principally in the interest Of trade.
These ZeftHRgfH or TidEHge were
written, but not printed. In
the greater centres oi population
were found men who made it their
occupation to send out these re
ports, usually to business houses,
often also to political and other
authorities. Oh the famous FHg
ger ZcttHRg twenty. eight volumes
are preserved in the University
Library at Heidelberg. These
written circular letters, both 0Yai-
Hart and extraoydlHari, as occasion
required, became almost a regular
institution as the postal system be-
came general " introduced. Prob
ably the strangest thing in connec-
ton with the history OF journalism
IS the.ia hat it was exceedingly
slow to make use Of the art OF
printing for its purposes. Indeed,
almost the whole sixteenth century
had passe before this innovation
was thought Of, although during
the Reio nation period questions
OF public prominence were brought
before the people IN countless
tracts, pamphlets, &c., often with
illustrations, but never in the shape
OF a regularly printed per odical.
The transition to this stage was
caused by the publication, in 1883,
OF the ReLati0 Histoyfca by Michael
Won Aitzing. OF Cologne, the sue
cess of whose printed account OF
a Cologne church controversy first
suggested the idea of publishing
every sixth month, at the time of
the Frankfort MeSSe. a general re-
port of the news. This undertake
ing soon stimu ated rival enter
prises. NIemann is conVlnce,i that
alt efforts to deny to the Germans
the honor Of having originated the
modern newspaper must fail in the
light of unpreiudiced historical re.
search. The oldest venture OF this
kind, however, as has been gener.
