Heroes in Blue,

IN the year 1876, during the Sioux
uprising, Gen. Terry, whose camp was
onsthe Big Horn, wished to commune
cate with Gen. Crook on the Powder
river. The country between the two
commands was infested with hostile
Sioux Indians. Trained plainsmen,
scouts who had been Indian fighters all
their lives. abandoned the courier task
as hopeless. Then Private Jas. Bell,
company e, Seventh infantry, came
forward and told Gen. Terry that he
would carry the dispatches Terry
gave Bell the papers and told him that
he was riding to his death. The scouts
said Suicide" Bell said nothing, but
went. He rode principally at night,
hiding in the daytime. Twice he was
within earshot of the humping hoofs
of the Indian ponies bearing their rid
ers by his hiding place. A neigh from
his horse meant capture and death.
Yet Bell got through and gave Terry's
message to Crook. Some years ago.

The Prehistoric Tin Trade.

Recent investigation of the old prob
lem of the diffusion of tin over eastern
Europe and Asia Minor in prehistoric
times leads to the conclusion that
about thousand years before Christ
the tin of the British Isles was carried
overland to the Aegean sea. The in
vention Of the, anchor led about 200
years ago to the opening of a marine
route betwsan EnglanGNand- the east
ern end Of the Mediterranean, and
then the Phrygians controlled the tin
trade with their ships. The short
summer nights of North Britain were
among the wonders that Greeks talked
of in the days of Homer.

Improbable as it seems, says the
London Lancet, it appears to be fact
that bacteria are able to cause the
breaking down of stone walls. Recent
Investigations have shown that nitri-
flying bacteria swarm in the mud form
ed by the disintegration of cement in
reservoirs. and it is believed that the
decay OF the cement results from the
action of nitrous acid produced by the
bacteria. Yet these same microscopic
engineers, whose myriads undermine
solid walls of masonry, are neyerthe-
less of immense use to man because
they are chief agents in the puritica-
ton of water.

or rather rates. Of rotation. These fig-
Tres do not affectet round numbers
in which the equatorial velocity of Ju-
pliers rotation is usually stated, viz.
about $4,000 miles per hour. But they
furnish additional proof that the mo-
tions visible on the great planets sur
face are not uniform from year to
year. Since the spring of 1897 the
equatorial region appears to have ex-
perienced an acceleration OF velocity.
Relatively to the surface some Sc de-
grees north or south, Jupiter's equator
rushes ahead with hurricane speed,
between 200 and 300 miles an hour
in itself a sufficient indication that
what telescopes show of Jupiter is not
solid crust but layers and masses OF
restless vapors.
