fight which occurred at the rear OF
the Wilson house Tuesday evening
about O'Clock proved of a very excit-
ing nature and served to draw large
crowd in a very few moments. The
two factions were the residents Of the
hotel and the family OF Mrs. Lottie
Eiderhoff. who lives at No. East
State street The rear of Mrs. Elder
hoff's lot adjoins the Wilson house,
and it seems that trouble has been
brewing for some time. the chief
cause being a very innocent looking
hydrant. The claim OF the hotel peo-
pie is that when the water Is allowed
to run it floods their cellar. Mrs. Elder
hof also is opposed to the water run

nearly drowned in q little pool there
last summer. But that one point seems
to be the only one OF agreement. Tues
day evening Master Bonnie Eiderhofr.
aged.6 years, was playing near the by
drant and a quarrel ensued. Clyde Ly-

contestants grew in number and when

WINGS OF THE HoNEYBEE.
A Microscopic View of One of Ma
ture,s Wonderful Schemes.

A Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.
At meeting of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president Of the
organization exhibited. besides other
things, the honeybee's wing, showing
the booklets by means Of which the
lower of the two wings Of the bee Is
Joined to the upper wing in flying, thus
making them practically a single wing.
The upper of the two wings is about
half an inch in length, the lower little
shorter The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into its hive, it folds its wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
1t goes abroad, it spreads its wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
Whenlooked at under the microscope,
the upper edge Of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though 1t had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all

more than quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There is little thickening at the base
of each hook. where nature has
strengthened It, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into fiange or trough.
When the bee comes out Of the hive, it
hooks the hooks on the upper edge Of
the lower wing into that flange or trough
at the lower edge Of the upper wing
and so makes the two wings practical
ly one.-New York Sun.

A MECHANICAL MARVEL.
what Sixty Miles an Hour Means TO
the Locomotive

What Sixty Miles an Hour Means TO
the Locomotive.
It all sounds simple in the recital
The wonder of the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrous
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of modern
locomotive weigh some 900 pounds.
When the speed is 60 miles an hour,
these parts travel back and forth ave
times a second. Ten times second,
at the end of every stroke, the piston
head is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to velocity Of 1900 feet per
minute in one-twentieth of a second.
The drive wheels measure more than
a rod at every revolution, but when
going 60 miles an hour they must turn
more than 300 times a minute.
Sixty miles an hour is the merest
commonplace to the mind Of the up
to date railroad man, but it means
other things besides those described
that are wonderful to the outsider. 1t
means a steam pressure blow Of 20
tons on each piston head every tenth
of a second. 1t means that up in the
cab the fireman is throwing into the
furnace two-thirds Of a ton of coal
every hour. No. 900 burns coal faster
than ten men can mine 1t. 1t means
two quarts of oil every hour to keep
her journal boxes creased and every
thing running smoothly. 1t means that
the engine with its half dozen cars and
load of human freight is moving
through space with twice the power Of
a shot from a 100 ton gun. 1t means
that the engineer has worked her up
to the point where she can use every
once of steam, that he is coaxing her
as Jockey urges his mount in fierce
race, and yet it means that he is ready
at a seconds notice to move the re-
versing lever and apply the airbrakes
that will stop the mighty avalanche
within the distance that 1t covers as
1t stands on the tracks.-Earl w.
Mayo In Ainslee's.

Fishing For a Drink.

A guide who has done more or less
plug fishing on MooseIookmeguntic
lake says he can get drink Of nice,
cold water when he Is anchored on o
lake, provided the water is deep
enough. For deep fishing 1t is customa-
ry to sound for clay bottom before
casting anchor, and our informant
claims that he can sound to secure q
cool drink He ties a weight to the
bottom of his coffee bottle, and with
the string tied also to the cork he
drops it to the bottom; then by quick
jerk pulls the cork, the bottle fills with
cold, clear water, and he has only to
pull it in.-Phillips Photograph.

To Get a Vacuum.

Professor Dewar's achievement in liQ-
uefying hydrogen has led to the dis
covery of an easy method for obtain
ing an almost perfect vacuum, and
that in single minute. When glass
tube, filed with air and closed at one
end, has its open end dipped into cup
of liquid hydrogen, the intense cold
condenses the air into a kind Of snow
which settles to the bottom. If. then,
the upper part of the tube, from which
the solidified air has fallen, is removed
by heating and sealing it off, 1t be-
comes vacuum chamber so free from
air that 1t is difficult to force an cleo
trio current through it.

was disproved by the fact that the
mans valuables had been untouched.
The only reliable theory, therefore,
was that the motive of the murderer
was revenge

into what l at first supposed to be

to seek the life of the unknown man.

some good foundation for them. Start

the dead man, once trusted friend,
had entered the home Of another, how
by subtle wiles and deceit he had stolen
the love of his wife; then followed an
elopement and the breaking up of that
once happy home.
HE told with the bitterness of truth
how the scoundrel had deserted the
erring woman and left her to perish
alone; how the idea of revenge had
filed the mind of the wronged hus-
band; how, himself unseen, he had
followed every movement of the in
tended victim for months and carefully
plotted his destruction; how he had de-
coyed the doomed man to the town and
to the very spot where the murder was
committed, and how he had destroyed
the only clews-a couple of letters in
the pockets of the dead man-and final

One summer Sabbath day l strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial place,

Find one sad level and how, soon late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face
And cold hands folded over still heart
