A CHEMICAL PENCIL.
Interesting Experiment That Will Fur
nish an Evenings Amusement


nish an Evenings Amusement
Here is a chemical experiment any
boy or girl may try which is enter
tanning, inexpensive and without dan
ger:
Take a saturated solution Of nitrate
of potash (saltpeter) and with quill
pen or fine brush draw any picture, de-
sign or words upon a piece of white
absorbent paper. The lines should
be well separated and the entire sub
ject coarsely drawn in outline When
dry the lines will be nearly invisible,
but if one Of them be touched with
the glowing end Of an extinguished
match a spark Of fire willr through
the paper, following the lines already
traced, and cutting out the design as
with an invisible knife
This experiment is explained by
the chemical constitution of the salt
peter. The salt contains a large
amount Of oxygen, so loosely com
bined that il readily leaves the nitro
gen and potash and unites with the
carbon of the paper when heated to
the point of ignition The heat de-
yeloped by the combustion is not suf-
fcient to ignite the paper, except
where it has been saturated with the
oxygen giving salt; and so the spark
Of fire, which is really only an indi-
cation Of violent chemical reaction,
follows the lines previously traced. If
an actual flame was brought in con-
tact with the paper, Of course the
whole would be consumed; but the
heat Of the glowing charcoal is just
sufficient to start the combustion by
the aid Of the oxygen in the saltpeter

intelligence
The stories Of elephant sagacity
might, indeed, fll volume, for all
their actions are marked, though in
various degrees, by clear signs Of this
quality. In the year 1868 an elephant
was employed at a station in India
to pile up heavy logs--a work which
these animals will perform with great
neatness and speed The superin-
-tendent Of the labor suspected the
keeper Of stealing the rice appor-
toned for the animals food The
man, Of course, protested With al the
vehemence Of native against The
charge and bemoaned his hard fate
in being exposed to such a cruel sus-
picion II so happened that the ele-
phant was standing by during the
loud discussion and, though no one
supposed the creature understood The
words uttered, the result was remark
able. The animal suddenly laid hold
Of large wrapper which the man
wore around his waist, and, tearing it
open, let out some quarts Of rice which
the fellow had slowed away under the
voluminous wrapper Further evil
dence was needless, either Of the
mans guilt or the elephants sagacity.
The animal had probably seen the
roguish attendant place its food in his
cloth, and had simply taken the op-
portunity Of recovering its rights So
closely do elephants remember the
signifcation of the signs which have
been taught them that they will in
stantly obey the gentlest signal, such
as the lifting Of finger or the slight
est touch on their ears
Bishop Heber tells of malicious
man who induced his elephant to kill
woman by giving the sign Of attack
to the animal be was riding. Some
natives had, however, witnessed the
proceeding, and so clear was their tes-
timony that the man was hanged for
the murder. The Mohammedan sol
diers in the mogurs army trained
their elephants to destroy the Dumer-
GUS small images of the Hindu divin-
tiles. Of fcourse the soldiers pretend
ed that the wise and theological ami
mails had an innate hatred Of idolatry
which could not be restrained. The
Hindus knew better, and OWNED that
secret sign was given to the we'll
taught beasts. Indeed, there is scarce
ly an act, from the killing of a man
to the uncorking of a wine bottle,
which these clever quadrupeds can
not perform, The Exeter change ell
ephant showed his reasoning powers
in the following device, witnessed by
Mr.. Jesse: This gentleman was Civ
ing some potatoes to his huge pet
when one fell on the floor just beyond
the sweep of the animals trunk. A
few inches behind the potato was a
wall. The animal blew strongly
against the vegetable. Of course this
sent it further off still from the trunk
against the wall, but the recoil
brought the potato back nearer than
before to the elephant, which then Sc
cured its prize. 1t seems absurd tC
suppose that the animal knew any
thing about action and reaction, but
the deed performed and the resulr
obtained were just what reason nigh
have suggested to clever child

MOHR PORTAGE ROAD COMING,
So Says Paul Mohr, Manager. 10 40 Interview
at Spokane.

The Paul Mohr portage road will be
running by July 18th says Manager Mohr
to the Chronicle at Spokane Tuesday.
In contrast to the former announce
inent that the company would operate
hive boats, it is now announced that
three more will be built this fall. At
first the expectation was to run three
boats this season. Then the outlook
grew brighter, and it was seen that five
would be needed to handle the trade, and
now it has been decided that even five
will not be enough and three more will
have to be added to the upper river.
Mr.. Mohr was seen by reporter for
the Chronicle at the hotel and asked how
soon he thought the road would be ready
for operation.
"We will be ready by the 18TH of July"
said he. 1.-The exact date has not vet
been set, but it will be some time be-
tween the Ist and 18TH"
"How near completion is the portage
road?" was asked.
"The men are working at the tracklay-
ing and have that about completed. 1t
| will be finished within the next ten days.
Our rolling stock has, of course, all been
purchased and will be on the ground by
the time the tracklaying is completed,
and the road will then be about ready to
start
"Are all FIVE of the boats ready for OPP
eration?''
1--WE are just putting the final touches
on them. They will be ready in plenty
of time. Youanight say that they are
ready now"
Have your storehouses and stations
along the river been completed?''
Eyes, they are ready and we will begin
to use them very SOON"
elbow soon will you commence to hire
men for the operating Of your liner"
tour men have all been engaged and
will be on hand ready to start as soon as
| we are ready"
i .'What can be said of the success ofthe
company in securing contracts with the
farmers?"
"Well, can say that we have beer
more successful than we even expected
We have all our contracts signed and are
Il not making any now. We have enough
contracts for the hauling of grain to keel
our road busy for the next two years and
to guarantee us good profit. However
the contracts will be the smallest parton
Of our traffic. There are other large
shipments which we will have to handl,
such as fruit, for which we have takei
| no contracts. We have taken contract
for nothing except grain, so the outlool
is most gratifying. We have decided t,
build three more boats this fall to be pu
in commission them
evil they be used on the upper o
) lower river?"
1--WE now have two boats on the lowe
river and three on the upper river. TIL
two on the lower river will be able +
handle everything there and the thre
extra ones will be put on the upper river
making six there and two below. O
I course we will use some barges, as v
expected"

The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-11-15

Among the important matters requiring
the attention OF the King county voters
at the recen. election was the selection
OF justice of the peace and constable
for each precinct in the county. with the
exception of Seattle, where the law re-
quires the presence of two justices of
the peace. The official canvass of the
returns, which was completed last night,
showed that in practically all the pre-
cincts this duty was conscientiously at
tended to.
In many of the smaller country pre-
cincts only three or four voters remem-
bered their duty in this particular but
usually some one of their number scraped
up majority and the purpose of the law
was fulfilled. In two or three of the tint
est precincts possessing scarcely enough
voters to make up the election board, the
lack of available timber made 1t neces-
sary to forego the choice Of peace officers.
The election of the precinct officers was
for the most part accomplished without
partisan division. Where there was a
contest the Republicans, as rule. won.
