and an Indictment found against him,

BEER KEGS AND SCIENCE.
Arctic Currents to BE Studied BY
Geographical Society With
Their Aid.

The Geographical society of Phila-
delphia expects to continue this year
the work of setting wooden casks
adrift on the ice north of this CONT
nent to demonstrate, if possible, the
currents of Arctic waters north of
Behring strait. The project was sug-
gested by Admiral Melville and this
society began to carry it out last year.
Mr.. Henry G. Bryant, president of the
society, has paper in its bulletin
telling of the preliminary work.
1t. was Melville's idea that if oaken
casks were set afoat on the ice in the
waters north of Alaska they would
come out in the course of four or five
years somewhere between Spitzbergen
and Greenland and thus demonstrate
the correctness of the theory of the
northeast drift of those waters, al
ready fortified by the experience of
the Jeanette and rram expeditions.
The society had a considerable num-
Der of heavy oaken caskets made, in
each of which bottle was placed
containing blank form on which the
finder is to record the date and local.
ity where the cask is recovered and
return the paper to Philadelphia. The
casks were to be placed ON heavy flow
ice, for if launched in the open sea
they were too much at the mercy Of
winds and waves, while if deposited on
heavy ice they would probably be car
ried on the more correct drift. Meth
er were they to be placed on the ice
adjacent to the Point Barrow district
in Alaska, where purely local currents,
running east and west, exist.
Last summer the United States rev.
enue cutter Bear carried 20. casks
north and others were distributed
among the steam whaling companies
having vessels in that region. Most
OF the casks, it was expected, would
be put adrift during August and Sep
TENDER last. The intention to repeat
the experiment on the same scale this
year will, it is thought, enhance the
probability Of definite results. Rear
Admiral Melville firmly believes that
the fugitive casks will justify the
hopes with which the society has un-
dertaken this experiment. There is
no doubt he says, that the casks
will come out somewhere. Siberian
driftwood has beeen found on the
northeastern shores of Bennett island,
ON the northeast point of Novaia Zem-
liza, on the east coast of Franz Josef
Land, on the east shore of Spitzberg-
en- and possibly in the drift on the
east side of Greenland: A strong cur
rent is known to exist at certain sea-
sons of the year to the southwark and
westward between the northern end
OF Novaia Zemlia and the southern
side of Franz Josef Land and between
the southern side of Spitzbergen and
Bear land-dropping the stones from
the polar pack which form the shoal
of 800 fathoms between the above is
lands.
I'VE may lock for these casks ON
any OF these shores or in the above
mentioned drifts, and also for the nos
sibility of demonstrating drift to
the eastward or the. northward and
eastward, finally coming out by the
way of Smith sound, Kennedy chan
mel and Baftin bay, as well as by the
slow drift through the North Amer
lean archipelago to the coast of l.abra

A HEADLESS HORSEMAN.
Almost Won the Charge He Appar-
emily Led Against the
PPussiann.

It is peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will go
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that ure inseparable from
war without flinching, and with the
utmost apparent callousness, and the
same men will be struck terrified by q
single trifling incident.
Every war of any Importance, par
ticularly wars between civilized ma
tons, is prolific in incidents of trivial
character in themselves, but so I'M
usual and unnatural that they appeal
to the natural instructive horror of
men more suddenly and intensely than
perhaps the main terrors of days of
carnage and surrounding seas of suf-
fering. Such an incident is the one,
for example, which occurred at the bat
tie 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
facilitating the falling back of tho

were driven back by the unflfnohing
Prussians. Again the cuircssiers
charged, and again they were 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 ?r;ssians,
and for q moment it looked Is II 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 Prus-
SLAMS appears nothing very much in

AN AMUSING GAME.
One in Which the Old m We'll ID
the Young May Find En-
tOyment.

Hostesses of house parties, and moth
ers expecting their boys and girls home
for the holidays, are often glad to hear
OF a new game, or of an old one re-
vived.
A game in which old and young and
almost any number can join is the
bird fancier. A cage of chairs must
be made and arranged in the middle OF
the room; then number of pieces
OF paper are cut, as many pieces as
there are players. On half the number
the name of bird is written.-canary
thrush, robin, and so on. These pieces
are then folded and put on plate and
passed around to the players. Those
who draw a bird must walk into the
cage, and those who draw blanks re-
main in their seats.
"A merchant is then chosen, or bird
fancier, who stands in the center of
the cage, and the birds, from that mo-
ment, must never take their eyes from
him. If a bird is discovered to be look
ing away, he is instantly commanded
to pay forfeit.
The other players walk around and
round the cage, doing all in their pow
er to divert the attention of the birds
by talking to them, calling them by
name. Then the merchant cries out !:
IL have good many fine birds here
a plump partridge, a fighty canary, a
sulky bullfinch," and so on. ''Who will
buy?"
A player standing outside the cage
cries: Il will; describe your BIRDS
The bird fancier then calls the birds
by name, and tells of their good quail.
ties. The fun is in the witty and anus
ing descriptions given by the merchant.
When the purchaser chooses bird, he
or she is at once released from the
cage. All the birds not chosen pay a
forfeit to the merchant, but the mer-
chant is forced to pay the birds who
have been sold forfeit.-Golden DAYS,
