Charles G. Rumsey. q Buffalo boy, who is a student it Harvard universi- ty. has modelled a statue of an Indian on horseback, which has been thought so highly of by the authorities of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. that it has been accepted for the adorn- ment of the grounds of the great ex- position. NIT RumSey is a junior at Harvard. and q son of Lawrence Rum- sey. a well known business man and Young Rumsey is quite club man and athlete, and it had not been generally known that he had in him the making of great sculDtOr. His equestrian statue of an Indian on horseback indi- cates such to be the case. however Mr Rumsey has an uncle who is fond of paintings and sculpture and wno in dulgeS his talents in this diroction. By him the student at Harvard has been encoura ged to cultivate his talents in this field. He has determined that the profession of sculptor will be his life work and has fitted up a studio ill con nection with his rooms in the Har- yard dormitories. The statue of the Indian, as at first case. was three feet high. but is being enlarged to life size. It represents an Indian of the early type, and the chara cteristics are well brought out. Young Rumsey is well known at Harvard as q member of the hockey team. He contributed much to the success of the team last year, and is playing with them again this year. He is q member Of the Boston Art club, Dugamma club and the Por-
 cellian club, the wealthiest of Harvard societies. He is q welcome associate of the Boston sculptors, and his ar tistic quarters in Russell hall at Cam bridge are filled with engrayings and works of art, and many interesting curios and relics.

COOKING AT ALBUQUERQUE.

AS attempts are being made to duce eNactitude into the operations of the kitchen. q note in the Monthly Weather Review recording the actual experience of Il houskeeper at Albu- querque. N. M.. is of interest. It ap- pears that cooking recipes and prac ticeS which are trustworthy not far from sea level are worthless at Albu- QuerQue the altitude of which Is 1. 933 feet. Water boils there at 202 degrees Fahrenheit. instead of 212 degrees Fahrnheit: hence articles of food the cooking of which depends upon heat applied through the mad'r" of water require q longer time for cooking than is given in the cookery books. On ac- count of the extreme dryneSs of the at moSphere. farinaceouS food. such as beans, corn. etc, lose so much of their moisture that they have to be left for q long time in water before cooking in order to be sOftered; but the worst difficulty is with c"'-~->'~'-'r~ Ordi- nary recipes as to number of eggs and amount of baking powder break down altogether, and housekeepers have to modify them if they wish their opera tionS to be successful. As the barO- metric pressure determines to what extent the disengaged carbon dioNide shall expand and aerate the dough. this may explain the different action of baking soda and egg batter In any case, the observation Is Interesting and chemists may find it worthy of their attention.-Nature.

HE WATER. HYACINTH.

ssNve are having lot of trouble with the water hyacinth over ill my neigh borhood,'' said q planter from Terre- bonne parish, '.and are greatly inter- eSted in the governmental experiments with a new mechanical destroyer. The rapidity with which the plant grows would seem incredible to those who have never had any experience with it. have place near the coast and there was a small waterway on it that I was anxious to keep open, because it formed q connection with bayou that led out to the Gulf and was very convenient for hunting ana fishing. The hyacinths got into it little over a year ago, and 1mmedl- ately started a vigorous campaign or eXtermination 1 had them weeded out wherever they were found and burned on brush fires some distance away from the stream. Several negroes were employed to do the work, and in a week or so they seemed to have cleaned out the pest. About that time I was called to Baton Rouge and was absent between three and four weeks. When I returned 1 found that the hy- acinths had reinyaded the place and were thicker and mCEe numerous than ever. I renewed the fight and kept 1t up several months, when I discovered that they had completely choked the stream further down. and. consequent ly, I gave it up. Before the summer was over, the plant had carpeted the water from bank to bank, and it was impossible to tell where the solid ground left off. I have never seen anybody walk over the bare tops, but it is a common thing to lay ten-inch planking on them and in that way form a bridge. 1 have cut out sections Of the growth in the densest places and found the roots woven together in q mass almost as compact as mating. The plant will undoubtedly put an end to our logging industry unless some thing is done at once to clean it out. l know of at least half q dozen water ways. down which logs were formerly foatad. that have been abandoned dur ing the last year. They are at pres ent solid masses of hyacinth. Strange to say. however. there are some ad- iacent watercourses in which they will not grow at all. and which remain perfectly clear of the nuisance, while streams only few hundred yards away are entirely choked. Possibly this is attributable to mineral springs on the bottom. If the cause could be ascertained it might suggest gen. eral remedy."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

REPORT OF HEAVY GUN.
Its Stunning 4,fect Upon the Ears of
Those in the Vicinity.

The stunning report of each gun as it
is fired is something that stranger on
the deck will long remember. There is
in the royal navy, this is changed to
deaf as post captain" No man can
go through a long series of gunnery
practices without having his hearing
very seriously affected. Some men put
cotton wool in their ears, but even this
pretautiOn does little to deaden the ter
rible shock. And if the firing of one or
two guns has such shattering power
what would be the effect if the whole
armament We're in action together.
1t is almost impossible to conceive the
strain upon nerve and senses of the
rending conclusion. If a visitor watches
the firing of one of the monster nine
inch guns, and then places himself be-
side one of the smaller pieces, the re-
port made by the one will not appear
much louder than that of the other.
The extra distance to the muzzle of the
big piece discounts the sound. The only
apparent difference between the two APP
pears to be that the small pieces have
a sharper higher pitched note, and that
the six and nine-inch guns speak with
more Of a believing roar. One piece of
advice may be given to any one who
finds himself in the neighborhood Of a
gun in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect, if you are watch
ing the gun as if the crash comes uneX-
pectedly. TnconsciOusly Nature pre-
pares you to resist shock which is
known to be Observation-Disclosures Gods.
