Antiquity of the water Pump.

The water pump of today is but an
Improvement on a Grecian invention
which fist came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos and
Energeles. 2S3 to 221 B. C. The name,
which is very similar in all languages,
is derived from the Greek word pempo,
TO send OF throw. The most ancient de-
scription we have OF a water pump is
by Hero of Alexandria. There is no
authentic account OF the general use of
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century
At about that time the endless chain
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began to be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps. like the Pappenham engine,
With two pistons, and the Prince Ru-
pert. with one, We're first used. Pumps
with plunger pistons We're invented by
Morland, an Englishman, in 1914, and
the double acting pump by De la Hire,
the French academician.

One way TO Boil a Ham.

The following is the recipe of the IA
nous John Chamberlin Of Washington
for boiling a ham:
To boil ham la Chamberlin, the
night before put the ham in a tub of
cold water. tleshy part downward, skin
part up. Next morning put the ham in
large kettle or pot of cold water to
boil. Let the water get hot gradually
and continue to cook the ham in slow
boil. scarcely more than simmer. At
the end of five hours take the ham out,
throw the water out of the pot and fill
it with fresh cold water. Put the ham
back Immediately and let it simmer or
boil slowly five hours more Then add,
according to the size of your purse, a
gallon of vinegar or a gallon of claret
or burgundy or champagne; then sim
rler or boil for three hours more. Then
take the ham off, skin it and put in a
cool place. Next morning trim it and
eat when you are ready.
ITO prevent the ham from tearing or
the water suddenly boiling too fast it
is always safe to sew piece of cotton
cloth tight. around the ham so as to
Tt as close as a glove. This will keep
the meat firm and guard against the
neglect of the cook in letting the water
boil too fast."-New York Herald

ANCIENT MEXICAN MINES.

Interesting Discovery by an Explor-
ing German Ethnologist.
DR.. Gustav Leibstein of Berlin, who
has been exploring in the northern part
OF the republic of Mexico for the last
six months. was recently in the City of
Mexico on his way back to Germany,
writes the special correspondent of
the New York Post He was sent by
the imperial bureau of ethnology to
that country to investigate the report
that in the mountains of Sonora there
exist relics of race unknown in any
other part of the globe. Just how sue
cessful he was in this part of his work
DR.. Leibstein will not say until he has
made his report to his government.
But he tells remarkable story of
other discoveries.
Il have no doubt that Sonora is the
oldest inhabitated part of this CONT
nent," he said. 81 found in one place,
in mountain gorge, the remains of a
road. broad and we'll defined and ap-
parently paved at one time | followed
the road and came upon vast noun
tain of debris, evidently the tailings of
rich mines.
There is little doubt that the ore
was brought out of the mountains by
means of workings which may yet be
discovered and that after the richer
had been selected the poorer was
thrown aside and formed this huge de-
post. ! made a rough assay of these
tailings and found them far richer
than the ore which is now obtained
from some mines which are paying
WELL
There are evidences thar the per-
sons who worked the mines We're far
more advanced in metallurgy than the
old Spaniards or any of the races of
whom we have any record as having
Inhabited the country. My statements
may be doubted, but am fully salts
ned that the people who worked these
old mines knew of the process of reduc-
tien now practiced and used steel in
the works"

BUFFALO, Sept. This city was
thrown in the widest state of excite

assassination yesterday afternoon of
President William Mckinley, in the
Temple of Music, on the Pan-Amer-
lean grounds. The would-be assassin
who at first gave his name as Fred
erick Nieman, is Leon Czolosz, a
young anarchist, aged 20.
The Presidential party entered the
Pan American grounds AT 4 O'Clock
and were escorted to the Temple of
Music, where the President was to
hold a public reception. The throng
OF visitors numbered many thous-
ands and the Temple was crowded
almost to suffocation.
Exposition guards and secret SER
vice men stood about the President
TO form the visitors into line that
they might each personally greet the
Chief Executive. While the recep-
ton was thus proceeding, a young
man pressed forward, ostensibly to
grasp the Presidents hand. His

For some time the lethargy in
political circles here has been pro-
nounced. Senator Hanna's cayor-

has almost managed to establish
normal wakefulness in those quar-
tiers where curious structures are
sometimes built from political
straws.
