Good Heat Conductors.

The tendency of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection. Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators, while
bright, polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely than others, silver among the
metals being the best conductor, and as
a unit of measurement is taken at 1000.
Compared with silver as conductor
gold is 9S1, copper S45, zinc GAL, tin 400,
steel 397 and wrought iron 1856. Glass,
wood, gases, liquids and resinous sub
stances are bad conductors. Water is
such a poor conductor that if heat is
applied to the top it will boil at the top
while the bottom will remain cold.

New Brake, Fast Time.

A new kind of instantaneous brake,
which is said to diminish almost en-
tirely the disagreeable sensation of con-
cussion experienced when train is
pulled up, has been fitted to the Paris
Calais express. Armed with this safe
guard the Northern Railway of France
express covered 1856 miles between the
Care du Nord and Calais in 1874 min
utes, or less than a mile a minute ca
record, at any rate on the Continent,
for such distance.

The Paris "Tube" Popular.

The enormous popularity of the Paris
Metropolitan Railway is shown by the
fact that the number of passengers car
ried from the opening of the line on
July 10Th till October 31st was 13, 900, 00O
In this connection it is pointed out that
while the London tube conveys between
$4,000 and 10000 persons day the Paris
railway has on certain days established
record of 10000 people. And while
the company is only obliged to run 27O
trains per day, it has been found neces-
sary to put on over 700 trains, and ar
rangements are being made to add to
this number.

Finally they sighted the Golden Gate.
There was joy among the sick boys and
the eyes of many filled with tears.
They had gone out hale, hearty soldier
boys, with life spreading out like a
grand panorama before them and filled
with possibilities of future attended
with success and possibly fame. They
were going to be so brave and go into
the very thickest of the fight or wher-
ever their country called them. They
might come back covered with scars,
but what of it-that was only soldiers
fate! The dream was ended; they were
coming home, some wounded by Fill
Pine bullets, but more suffering from
disease that had sent the strong, young
soldiers back to their native land mere
physical wrecks. One of the saddest
phases of the homecoming of these in
valid transports is the almost inevitable
fate of some of the soldiers. They have
held out against grim death all through
the long, weary journey only to sue
cumb the first week in the hospital.
There is another mound in the Presidio
cemetery, taps are sounded and the
soldier is at rest.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

When one of the transports sailed out
of Manila Bay bearing many wounded
and invalid soldiers, who looked with
longing, wistful eyes for a sight of the
Golden Gate, hoping and praying that
they might live to see that day, there
was one old, weather-beaten soldier
aboard who insisted upon coming home
although the physicians hadn't donbt
but that he would die on the journey.
He had gone down to the very portals
of death, but that stubborn spirit which
had never allowed him to think for a
moment of surrendering to the enemy
still asserted itself, and he was deter
mined never to surrender to the last
y-death-while on the shores of
the Filipinos. Die he must and he
knew he would, but it must be on the
sea on the AFOREMENTIONED trip, or
when he had reached the shores of the
Golden Gate. Lower and lower he
sank, the spark of life seemed to die out,
and then a determined will-power
would fan the little, feeble spark of life
into renewed effort. Something was
on his mind and ne tossed uneasily and
brOoded over it until one day when his
life current seemed at its lowest ebb he
called for an officer and took him into
his confidence. He had saved 500 and
when he died he wanted the entire
amount turned over to Miss Helen
Gould, to be used for the benefit of sick
and destitute soldiers. He said he
knew what friend she was to the boys
in blue, and that she would see that it
went for the purpose it was intended.
If he gave it in care of some one else
they might squander his hard-earned
500 or appropriate it for some other
purpose. He had wise bead, for he
knew he could confide his "little all "
into no more faithful hands. The off
Ger promised to carry out his wishes,
and the old soldier became more recon-
ciled to his fate, but still he desired to
die ON shore. "Could he hold out?"
That was his query every day, for more
than one of the soldiers, not as ill as he
had been and with youth in their favor,
had succumbed and We're finishing
their journey silent passengers in their
long. narrow boxes.
Amador ledger. (Jackson, Amador County, Calif.) 1875-19??, 1901-04-26

Some one wrote to Miss Helen Gould
of the strange request, and she did one
of the many graceful acts that are
attributed to her. She wrote a long,
friendly letter to him, thanking him
for the confidence he had placed in her.
She told him he had been true and
conscientious soldier in the past and
that he must continue to be the same,
and determine to live and not die and
make good use of the boarded money.
He was the proudest man in the hospi
tai when the letter arrived. 1t gave
him new courage and inspired him with
hope. The last enemy to be put down
was death. He would conquer this
time, at least. The grim reaper would
have to lay siege and take him I'M
awares at some more convenient season.
He commenced to mend; day after day
added to his strength, and he apollo
gized to the member of the Red Cross
for getting we'll after all the trouble he
had given her in regard to the disposal
of his 800, but said he never intended
| to use it and Helen Gould would get
the whole sum yet. Even though he
had regained his health, death was
sure to make target of him before
many years, and by that time he might
have little more to add to it. Possibly
it might reach the $1,000 mark. The
old soldier has entirely recovered from
his rough experiencein the Philippines,
and his familiar form bids fair to min
gle with his old associates at the Pre-
sidio for many long day. His name
is Carl Richter.
Amador ledger. (Jackson, Amador County, Calif.) 1875-19??, 1901-04-26

The physicians shook their heads
obviously. They had no hope that the
old soldier would live; he was too low
and the excitement too great. He
smiled weakly; he was going to show
them that the wisest heads could some
times be mistaken, and he had no in
tention of dying in sight of the prom
Used land. His very determination car
ried him through the trying ordeal and
he was finally resting on one of the
little white beds in the Preside hospi-
tai. He was ready to die now, and he
lost no time in sending for one of the
ladies of the Red Cross. The member
that responded was our "angel of
mercy" He obtained her promise to
see that his cherished 500 should be
sent to Miss Gould; but she would not
hear to the old soldier dying, and tried
to talk him into the idea that he was
going to get well. He would not listen
to her; he had had his wish and would
die on shore, and he seemed perfectly
contented.
