TALK WITH THE HELIoGRAPH.

How the System of Signaling Now in
 Use in South Africa Is Operated
 Heliographing is "sun writing" By the use of the heliograph the suns rays are flashed over long distances. The letters of the Morse telegraphie code are used, and communication Is Comparatively easy on bright days. The instrument that Is now used to transmit heliograph messages is ex- ceedingly simple. It consists of a tripod carrying a horizontal rod at the top On this rod is mirror on one end and on the other small upright rod with a movable button. This mfr TOT is usually four and half inches in diameter, and is so arranged that it can be rotated both on a horizontal and on vertical axis. In the middle is small unsilveredz spot. The mir TOT is sighted by means of this unsil- yered spot and the button on the rod in front, exactly as a rife would he aimed If the button is raised so as to cover the destination of the Tnes= sage W2fah can be found by compass if it cannot be seen. and the shadow thrown hy the unsilVered spot in the middle of the reflection covers che but ton, the instrument is iD position. sshere is a contriyance by which the Nhutter is operated. opening and clos ing over the mirror by means of key which is pressed like the key of a telegraph instrument. A long flash stands for dash q short one for a dot in the Morse system. The greatest distance ever overcome by the helio- graph was that operated over by the United States signal corps between Mount. Uncompahgre. in Colorado, and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This was 183 miles. The flashes came and went as regularly as though the distance fad been much shorIer.-Indianapolis prgsc

Big Contract for an Ainert,an Comp


 After being carefully guarded for over two months 1t has leaked out that the tramway committee of the Glas- gow (Scotland) corporation has award ed the contract for tie supply and lay ing of the conduit for conveying the cable for Glasgow municipal tIamWays to the National Conduit and Cable company of America. The wark of laying the pipe under American super vision has already begun, and some 500 navies are being employed. This con duit contract is reported to be by far the most important one ever placed outside of England. Already 100000 feet of piping have been ordered, and it is said that the chances are that the entire requirements in this line will be dlled by the Americans, and that the eable-on the superior manufacture of which English manufacturers have long prided themselyes-will also be ordered from the United States. The curious pert of the commit contract is that a lump sum has been agreed upon with the National company that will include the supply of pipes. the ex. eavation of the earth as well as the laying Of the pipe.

 # Lord Rowton, very thin, pale man Rith the quietest manner imaginable. 3ts not ones ideal of dashing Irish sman. but at the same time he is a de- li ghtful talker, with a witty tongue. aand has charming manner says griter His old nickname, was Monty Cory" and when young fellow he was brim full of fun and frolic. As may be supposed, he was much de- sired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved ~the life of the party It was under these cireum- stances that he first attracted the at tention of the late Lord Beaconsfield Disraeli was never happy when one of house party in the country. His wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not in touch" with the rest of the party, he used to sulk and eat too m1lch instead of talkin at dinner. This Hnade him inclined to be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hughenden to re- cover. One evening, when in one of these loW-spirited moods, he heard shouts and peals of delighted laughter proceeding from a room near that in which he was sitting, and on investi- gating found that this state of liveli- ness-so unlike what he himself was feeling-Was produced by the singing, dancing and infectious good spirits of the good-humored young Irishman.
 Monty Corry." Lord Beaconsfeld crept into the room and hung on the fringe of the circle Of laughing guests, and very soon an unwilling smile was seen to creep around his mouth, the said smile ending in hearty burst of laughter, which effeetually scattered the last shadow of the weight of de- pression which had been smothering him. Soon after this pleasant intro duetion he made Monty Corry' his secretary, and they worked we'll to- gether for the remainder of Disraeli's life.

WHERE GOLD GROWS.
Fleeh Deposits of the Precious Metal
 Every Year.

There are localities where gold may be said to grow every year, or, in other words, where fresh deposits of the precious metal are to be found annu- ally, says Answers. One such dis trict is in the Edmonton country, ip zthe Canadian northwest, where, after .SSSae spring floods from the same banks and "benehes' of the Saskatchewan river, there arc taken every year eone siderable quantities of gold by a few diggers, who make their living out of the business. But the most conspicu- ous and interesting case of this sort is to be seen near Ichang, in the pro- vince of Hupen, in China For many centuries past each year gold has been washed frors the banks of coarse grav- el on both sides of the River Han, and in the midst of the auriferous district there is an ancient town called Uiku- tien, which means Gold Biggers' Inn. 2 It's inhabitants subdiYide the gald- bearing ground among themselves an nually, stalking out their claims with partitions. They pay no royalty and appear to earn no more than bafe subsistence, but this may be doubted, as John Chinaman is an adept at lay in low and sayin' noffin'" The an nual river floods bring down millions of tons of mud and sand, which is charged with gold, both fine and in flakes, is deposited to a depth of six Inches or more on the banks Of gravel. II is in the winter that the gold is washed, and it is said that seven men work about twenty tons of the 'pay dirt" in day.

DOLLAR A POUND
Paid for Elk Meat in the KiondIns
 Region by Miners.

AAcShoA Df 1ufueTss
 Elk meat brings $1 per pound in the klondike mining camps, and there are three or four deerslayers in that ter ritory who are cleaning up the tidy sum of $1,000 month above their living expe ses. M I. A. Kicker of Denver told ne a good story of one Of these hunters, who ran across a couple of bear, promptly added them to his game bag and got them into the nearest settlement, where. greatly to his disgust, he found that Bruin meat. which he esteemed a dainty in the East, could not be given away. He returned to his camp a wiser indi- sidual, and thereafter never wasted ammunition on any more of that spe- cies. This deer hunting seems a pret- ty good proposition for some of our young men who would like to combine chance at big game and an oppor- tunity to make a small fortune, and it would be apt to prove more certain bonanza that stalking out claim that might, on working, turn out anything but profitable. The hunter would be sure of a market that would pay top prices and not haggle over a reason able degree of toughness in the goods supplied. For Che benefit of any ener- getie young man who desires to try his chances as an elk providar in or- dinary to Dawson and other budding towns of the newest gold regions, would say that the 30-30 is the most popular rifle in use up there at the present time, on account of it's long range and the eompaetness of it's ana- munition.-New York Times.

ORIGIN OF THE SLED.
Seems to Have Come from Country
 Where Snow Is Unknown.

Dr. Karutz, an original scholar Of liable investigations relative to the fn- vention of the sled. After long study he comes to the conclusion that prfm- itiye man probably arrived at the idea of the sled from seeing trees slip and slide down the mountains. In Madeira snow, sleds drawn by oxen are used just as they are in the Philippines. It Is a development from the idea Of a man dragging burden along the ground, when it was too heavy for him to lift it up and carry it. He at first hitched his dog to the deer that he had just killed and both dragged it toward the cave or hut in which they lived. When he saw logs slide down the mountain side the idea of using smooth logs that would slide oyer the ground easily when drawn by himself or one of his animals was the next step in the development of the sled
 Primitive peoples like the Malays Of the Philippines, and the unprogres- saFe. peasants of Madeira, still use the sleds invented by their ancestors thou sands of years ago. In countries where ice and snow are found it is probable that the very fact of man slipping on the ice showed some inventive per- son that there was an easy way to carry what he wanted to transfer from one place to another, and so first pull ing branch along over the frozen snow instead of carrying it, he thought Of putting other things on the branch, he trimmed off the tWies and leaves that caught in the stHmps and other trees, and the beginning of the sled had come. The joining together of two logs, and shaping them were only steps in the perfection of the earliest method of transportation which antedated tho 1n3 ention of wheeled vehicles by many ee1 turies.-Detroit Free Press.
