A Wonderful Lens.

Some years ago the writer paid
a visit to Alvah Clark, at Cam
bridgeport, to witness the testing
of the huge lens for the famous
Lick telescope. AT the end of
the long, dark room the largest
flint glass then in the world was
set up on edge. From a distance
of about 80 feet pencil of light
was flashed into the heart of the
disk and reflected back into the
observers eye. The slightest
imperfections, if any, in the glass
would then be revealed by the
curves of light and the lines of
polarization.
"Now," said Mr.. Clark, 81 will
show you the wonderful SEN
sitiveness of the lens to outside
influence. Every human body
gives out heat, and when brought
near to extremely sensitive sub
stances affects them to a greater
or less extent. Now, which"
He walked down to the lens and
held his hand under it about two
feet away. Instantaneously a
marvellous spectacle burst into
view. 1t seemed as if the great
disk had become living volcano,
squirting forth jets of flame. The
display was dazzling. Waving,
leaping, dancing, the countless
tongues of light cleaned and vi
brated.' Then, fitfully, reluctant
ly, they died away, leaving the
lens rejecting only a pure, un-
troubled light.
"What is it?" How do you ac-
count for the wonder?" were the
eager questions.
"It is only the radiation of heat,
alternatly expanding and con-
tracing the glass. If had put
my hand upon the lens itself the
phenomenon would have been
even more violent"
To person ignorant Of lenses
the almost supernatural sensit-
iveness of mass of glass weigh
ing several hundred pounds was
astonishing. But to the scien-
tist it is an everyday matter, for
he has instruments that will reg.
lister with unfailing nicety the ap-
proach of a person fifty or a hun
dred feet away.-Youth's Com
panion.

The calf should be gently han
died from the start. The future
disposition of the COW depends
upon her treatment when young.
To make a gentle mixer the calf
should never receive a blow or a
harsh word, in order that it may
have confidence in the attendants,
and it will not thereafter be ner-
vous. 1t should be rubbed,
brushed, petted and fed from the
hand and the teats and udder
frequently handled. 1t is easier
to break in a calf than to worry
with a vicious COW.

Coming Home Once More.

When the heated breath of summer
Famed our brows with fevered heat,
And the very flowers at noontide
Dropped in fragrancefaint and sweet,
Then we dropped the heavy burdens,
Known to every heart that lives,
And for just little season
Sought the rest that nature gives.
On the breezy mountain summit,
In the pine trees healing shade,
BY the softly flowing river,
Or the cool and quiet glade,
We have heard the silent voices
Whisper benedictions sweet,
While the tired body reveled
In rest and peace complete.
Where the restless waves are singing
Through the surges soft and low,
We have seemed to catch the music
OF the songs we used to know.
And the strength and Joy of childhood
Seemed to thrill the livelong day,
AS among the breakers dashing,
We have battled with the spray.
Oh, the hidden balm of nature
For the tired heart and brain
II revives the wearied body,
Soothes and silences our pain.
But from mountain-top and meadow,
From the charm of ocean shore,
With their memory fresh upon us,
We are coming home once more.
For the days of rest are over.
There is earnest work to do.
We shall need the inspiration,
And the strength and courage new.
May the odor of the pine tree,
And the glory of the shore,
Fill and thrill the days before us,
For we're coming home once more.

What to do with the coal ashes
is a problem with some. They
are of little or no value as a ferti-
lizer, but can be used with ad-
vantage on roads or paths. The
ashes may be spread aud a. little
soil thrown over them, when they
will soon harden. Another plan
is to level the walkway,. excavat.
ing few inches below the gener-
al surface, pour on a coating Of
coal tar and then cover thickly
with ashes. When dry repeat
with more coal tar and ashes un-
til three or four coatings are Civ
en-. In short time the walkway
will be as hard as stone.

Onions keep best in a dry loca-
ton, dampness being injurious.
If they become frozen they should
be kept so, or thawed very slow
ly. They should not be stored
in boxes or barrels, but in shall
low receptacles. If spread out
on the floor of the garrett or barn
loft and covered with hay or
straw when frozen they should
keep in sound condition until
spring.

indians Long Lived,

The GOvernmentcensus takers,
who have just completed the cen
sus Of the Indian tribes Of the
Indian Territory, report a num-
Der of loug.lived people who re-
side in that section of the coun-
try. They say that the Indian
lives to an older age than any
other class of people on earth.
Many of them attain the age of
1875 years, while a 100-year.old
Indian is nothing out of the ordi-
nary.
White Horse, medicine chief
of the Otoes, is now 101 years old
and says that he feels as young
as when he chased cowboys and
soldiers so years ago. To prove
his assertion he is now planning
a 1000,mile trip across the coun-
try to visit some of ris warrior
friends. He is a great medicine
man among the Otoes and is their
ambassador to the Great Spirit,
to whom he makes f. equent trips,
according to himself. He also
leads in the violent medicine
dances and makes medicine the
same as he did when he was a
young chief.
Another aged Indian is Look
ing Glass, a Cheyenne warrior.
He will soon be 105 years old.
He was with Sitting Bull, the
great Sioux warrior, in most of
his raids, and he has passed
through seven Indian wars. He
says that he does not remember
just how many white persons he
has killed, but that it must be ov-
er 100. His eyesight is keen and
his hearing is excellent. He
does not speak the English Ian
guage. o
Nancy Jacobs is a Choctaw
woman 100 years of age, who lives
in the woods near Antlers. She
was cook for the white soldiers
during the civil war and remem-
bers all of the big generals and
commanders of the Southern
forces. She has married daugh-
ter 65 years of age, who lives near
by. The old woman has outlived
three husbands and still does her
own cooking and housekeeping.
Among the Apaches there are
ten or twelve women who have
passed the 100 year period. One
of the cruel features of the
Apache home life is that when a
woman has passed her period of
usefulness about the house she is
taken into the country and left
alone by the roadside to die. The
white people have talked the
Apaches nearly out of this cruel
way of treating the old, but in
some families they yet believe
that it is the right way to treat
the infirm.

Mountaineers say that there
will be a very light chestnut crop
this year. The small boys have
been patiently awaiting the first
big frost to loose the nuts. Last
Fall the sure sign Of big crop
was noticed, and it has failed.
The old saying is that the trees
bloom for year ahead, and, ac-
cording to sign, the crop should
be heavy this Fall, but those who
live near the grove say this is not
true.

WILL Be BETTER.
Sunday North American Announces It Will
Maintain High Standard Of First Issue.

All records, both as to quality
of matter and number of sales,
were broken by the Sunday
North American last Sunday,
when it's first issue was offered to
the public. In each of scores of
Pennsylvania towns several hun
dred more copies might have
been sold if the supply had been
equal to the demand. There was
a great curiosity to see what the
first number would be, and news
dealers everywhere report "clean
sales"
Curiosity is quite as strong in
regard to the next Sunday North
American. The question is this
Will it maintain the pace and
keep the high standard set in it's
first issue? The assurance is
given out that next Sundays pa
per will be even better than the
initial number.
The sheet music supplement,
which is printed on heavy paper
and is in every way equal to the
music purchased in stores, will
be "Ida from Idaho" by John III.
Flynn, the author of that great
success, "Annie Moore" This
new song is just as catchy as the
one which the people of the Uni
ted States are now singing and
whistling.
In the Woman's Supplement, in
beautiful colors, are illustrated
pages of new fall jackets and
some of the latest mourning cos
tunes; the very latest silk waists,
which will interest those who
make their own clothes; Marion
Harland has some good new
cooking recipes, and discourses
on household topics, including
the care of children; Mrs. Henry
Symes gives many more recipes
for beauty, and tells how to ac-
quire health by new breathing
exercises; McDougall contributes
wonderful stories for children,
besides which there is a puzzle
picture and some interesting H.
lustrations.
In the comic supplement there
is an excruciating funny series
by Walt McDougall, called 'How
Bins Lost the election" There
are other comic sketches in colors
to excite hilarity, and two pages
of short humorous prose written
by the men who have made
"Puck, F" 'Life," and "Judge" fa-
nous.
The cover of the twelve page
magazine shows Pope Leo and his
cabinet. 7" 1t is a wonderful
ly striking color page and will at
tract national attention. There
are ten more pages of attractive
ly illustrated and genuinely inter
esting news features.

The opening of the amusement sea
son and the inauguration of the new
stage at the Manager opera house last
night vas a most suspicious one, judg-
ing from the lumber of people who at
tended and the favorable comments
made upon the house and its appliances
by those who were there.
The new drop curtain is a beauty
from an artistic standpoint and a mar
vel from a mechanical. 1t goes out of
sight without the roll so familiar here.
and the motion is so quick and grace
full that n sees the stage the moment
the bell tingles, enhancing the beauty
OF the setting by the rapidity of the mo-
ton.
The scene the artist has chosen for
the drop curtain is a Venetian or Flor
entine marine scene. showing gaudily
decorated pleasure boats mooved in
the foreground. with a back ground of
pleasing perspective. The curtain is
light in one and heightened at inter
walls with enough color to make it rest.
full to the eye.
The new stage is going to fill all the
requirements of the amusement-loving
people of the city, and they may be de-
pended upon to show their apprecia-
ton.
The initial attraction was Two Mar.
ried Men," a piece made up of fun tx.
clusively and well rendered by the
company. 1t was disappointing in that
it showed no thread. and was a tumble
of fun and rather clever specialties.
some of which were not as refined and
smoothe as are see sometimes. but
they seemed to please a large number
of people and perhaps the others should
not say anything.
Two Married Men" is pure fun and
its rendition caused much laughter. but
when one had laughed he was through.
There is title to remember in the
piece.
The Maennerchor society has built
we'll, and the people are grateful for a
first-class stage with up-to-date ma
chinery to manipulate the splendid

BEEMER
GOES THROUGH DISASTROUS
WRECK ON NORTHWEST
ERIN ROAD.
Train Going Mile a Minute Encounters
Broken Rail East Of Omaha and
Four SIeepers Are Ditched-None
. Seriously Hurt.

H.. d. Beemer. representative from
the Wyoming grand lodge to the Sover-
eigii grand lodge, Odd Fellows, return
ed this morning from the meeting at
Indianapolis, and reports n of the
most successful meetings in h his
tory Of the order. The attendance was
very large, one day there being 10000
Odd Fellows in parade.
Five thousand Patriarchs Militant
took part in the competitive drill, the
big prize, $1,000, going to an Indiana
canton.
Mr.. Beemer had a very undesirable
experience on the road home yester-
day morning. He was in a wreck on
the Chicago and Northwestern railway,
seventy miles east Of Omaha, when
four ears left the track on account OF a
broken rail and a number Of passen-
! gers were bruised, though none were
seriously injured and no bones were
broken.
The engine, the baggage car and hal
of the first sleeper stayed on the rails.
but the balance of the cars went on.
The trucks of the cars were torn all
to pieces, and the cars themselves were
somewhat wrecked, but the damage
was not extensive. The rail, Mr..
Beemer says, was broken into thirteen
or fourteen pieces.
Mr.. Beemer was asleep i'll his berth
when the first shock came, with his
head toward the front of the train, and
was awakened by being thrown with
| considerable violence against the head
of the berth. When the claim agents
came through the train. Mr.. Beemer
was asked if he vas hurt, and said he
was not sure, but believed his neck was
broken. He agreed to let the company
know when he reached home.
The wonder is that someone was not
seriously injured, so violent were the
shocks. The train was running about
a mile a minute, n when the broken
rail was encountered the cars bumped

fore they went over the sides OF the
embankment. One car went one way
and the other the other. but none OF
them turned over and much suffering
was prevented in this way.
Across the aisle in the car occupied
by Mr.. Beemer was DR.. Rhodes OF
Pennsylvania, who was en- route to
Laramie to locate. He had arisen and
was partially dressed and thus avoided
the heavy shock.
Mr.. Beemer says he will never again
ride in a sleeper with his head toward
the front as he prefers the danger Of a
rear-end to a head-end collision, and
would rather have his heels damned
than his head.
The people in the train were so glad
to have escaped that they held a jolli'
~fication meeting and decided that they
had come through the wreck in glor
ious shape. The train was mo- long
delayed.
