A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.
No one would suppose that it is pos
sible to hold a glowing coal on piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made Of copper because that metal
is good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form Of
heat. If poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end, although it has not been in the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
a globe of copper and draw piece Of
cloth tightly over it SO that there is
not a wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can safe
ly put a glowing coal on top of the
cloth, and, while it burns fiercely, the
cloth will not even be scorched.
The reason is that the great conduc-
tivity of the copper draws the heat of
/ the coal before it can burn the cloth.
Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for If the cloth
is not tightly drawn it may burn, but
take some worthless piece Of linen or
muslin, and after you are certain Of
your experience you can astonish your
1 friends who do not know the secret

Beau Brumme1 and Hi. Boots.

In the "reminiscences and Recollec-
tons of Captain Grownow" (who was
himself a famous dandy occurs the
following annecdote Of Beau Brum-
mel, the time being 1915.
The dandy's dress consisted of blue
coat, with brass buttons, leather
brooches and top boots, and it was the
fashion to wear a deep, stiff white
cravat, which prevented you from
seeing your boots while standing.
All the world watched Brummel to
initiate him. and order their clothes of
the tradesman who dressed that sub
lime dandy. One day a youthful beau
approached Brummel and said:
Permit me to ask you where you
get your blacking?"
"Ah" replied Brummel, gazing COM
placently at his boots, "my backing
positively ruins me. I will tell you in
confidence. 1t is made with the finest
champagne!'

THE HEADLEss HoRsEMAN.
An Incident That Happened In the
FrnncO-Prussian War.


FrnncO-Prussian War.
1t is a peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will go
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without hinching and with the ut
most apparent callousness, and the
same men will be struck terrified by a.
single trifling incident.
Every war of any Importance, partic--
ularly wars between civilized nations
is prolific in incidents of trivial charac-t
ter in themselves, but so unusual and.
unnatural that they appeal to the nat
ural instructive horror of men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days Of carnage
and surrounding scenes of suffering.
Such an incident is the one, for exam
pie, which occurred at the battle of
Worth in the early days of the Franco
Prussian war
In the heat of the great battle wing
of the Prussian army was charged by
the regiments Of French cuirassiers In
the hope of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back of the French
infantry. But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unflinching Prus-
slams. Again the cuirassiers charged.
and again they We're driven back by
the whitening fire of shot and shell.
For third time they came down
again, and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer horrible. blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for moment it looked as if they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But in
a moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much in black
and white. 1t was regiment of cuiras-
siers led at dashing rate toward them
by a headless officer sitting upright in
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decapitated
by a cannon ball.-Cincinnati Enquir-

OAKLAND CEMETERY.
(COmmunicated1

There having arisen in the minds OF
some of the lot owners in Oakland
Cemetery a question as to title of this
property, and to its future control and
management in case Mr.. E. S. Plimp-
ton shall decide to remain permanently
in Colorado, we have taken the time to
ascertain the following facts WHICH
will set at rest all apprehension in the
matter:
Oakland Cemetery is owned by the
Denison Cemetery Association which
is an incorporated body. The articles
of incorporation are dated March i,
1876, and the incorporators were j. w
Denison and E. S. Plimpton. They
are recorded on pages 1913 and l64 of
Crawford county miscellaneous records.
Their limit is perpetual.
The stock consists of ten shares. of
which j. W. Denison originally held
five and E. S. Plimpton five. On the
settlement of the estate of J. w. Deni-
son, deceased, his holdings were sold
to E. S. Plimpton, August 1888, and at
this date the whole of the stock is held
by him and members of his family.
Mr.. A. C. McMinimee who for the
past five years been the sexton and
curator is the Secretary of the associa-
ton in addition to the afore named po-
sitions. He will have entire control in
the absence of Mr.. Plimpton, will do
the work of sexton, show and sell lots,
care for those lots which are sold if
paid by the owners. The small annual
charge of one dollar is moderate sum
and secures for each continual care and
attention. Deeds will be signed by
Mr.. Plimpton and countersigned by
the Secretary.
We are assured that this state of
matters will be continued, all unsold
lots will be improved in condition.
Whether or not those lots which are
owned by resident citizens are kept in
good and attractive condition will de-
pend entirely upon whether or not
these owners attend to the property
themselves or pay the sexton for doing
it; or neglect both.
When once deed is issued the lot
sold noilonger belongs to the associa-
ton and are entitled to no special
work upon them unless the owners SO
order A general care and superyi-
sion will be given but no special free
work will be expected by resident
owners. Non-residents will always
have their lots kept in decent condi
ton without charge provided their ad
dress is unknown.
A proper regard for the memory o.
loved ones surely will prompt the pay
ment of the small sum of ole dollar /
year. With the care furnished b.
the sexton, Oakland Cemetary will be
come pride and pleasure in appear
ance.

WHAT ARE VOLCANOES?
They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understand Tint Term.


"What are volcanoes?"
Nine out of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer Of some
sort to the question, above, for have
they not lively remembrance of hav-
ing learned in their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is burning mountain, from
the summit of which are sent out smoke
and fames?" This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is, holes in
the earth's crust. Out of these are
thrown the materials which, accumu-
lating, form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains
These are then, the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion, nor any
action we might reasonably call burn
ing"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit, for eruptions are
JUST DIS frequent dt lhe SUES vi even
at the base. The so called ''smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
of condensing steam which are formed
on every OCCASION when an eruption oc-
ours.
Lastly, the flames" so called, are
merely the reflection of the mass of
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds of steam above,
| thus appearing as glowing light. The
friction, too, set up by the motion of
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the illuminating effect.-Pear-
sons Magazine.

GOOD WORDS FOR HUNT.
DENIsoN, la, Oct. 10, 1900.
Mr.. EDITOR,
Dear Sir


Dear Sir
Allow me through
the columns of your paper to write a
few words commendatory OF the candl-
dacy for county auditor of an fndivid-
ual we'll known to the people OF Craw-
ford county This individual is no
other than Minus L. Hunt the republi-
can nominee. a worthy citizen and gen
tleman. | have known Mr.. Hunt for
years and am intimately acquainted
with him. having had business rela-
tions with him. | have always found
him perfectly reliable, honest and up
right in every respect, thorough
busiress man making business a sue
cess. When, after years of business at
Deloit the people saw his worth and
abilities he was persuaded to accept an
official position. the same to which he
is now nominated, that of County
Auditor. You we'll know that he was
capable in every respect, did his work
with neatness and dispatch. was a
friend to all and gained friends with
all.
In and out of Office is all the same
with Mr.. Hunt. he has a good word
and friendly cheer with defeat as
we'll as success, which is not the case
with every candidate: approachable by
+ no h H. ,i,,-
cumstances as we'll as the more pros
porous. These are few of the merit
points in the character and life work of
my friend, N. l.. Hunt.
The search light of evidence will re-
veal nothing in his past official life but
what was honorable.
During a national campaign when
grave problems engross the attention
and requires most strenuous study by
its voters, we are apt to lose interest
and sometimes wholly neglect our duty
in the local campaign. Let us not be
derelict to our duty.
AS is we'll known the party to which
MIR. Hunt belongs, the party to which
he has always proved loyal and never
recreant or a renegade is in the minor.
1 ity, unless he receives the support Of
his democratic friends success is i'm
possible.
Lay aside your politics, vote for
principle and not for party, and what
ever support you give Mr.. Hunt, will
not only benefit him but will be an
honor to the name of his decease
father, Union Veteran who fought
for the preservation of the Union and
for the Flag which is our pride an6
universal heritage. Resp.

AvERTED A TRAGEDY.
The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O'Connell Mt Critical Moment.

Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator, had a contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion meet
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled in a room Oh the first
floor of a building in small city in
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when a gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
"Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in few
minutes"
keep SILENT said O'Connell. Then,
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
81 find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
in. SO we must leave it and hold the
meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
'I will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there is a panic
and rush to the door, we shall all be
precipitated into the room below, but
if you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the u men nearest the door
go quietly out, then the next 10, and so
on till all have gone. shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and
calm, till all had gone out in safety.
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering, cracking floor, reaching the
door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus, by the force Of his
strong will, terrible accident was
averted.-Exchange

STOCK MARKETS STILL DULL

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S,-A dispatch to

the cup never reached the lip. The
