nence. Corregidor, says the New
York Herald, was Spanish explorer
and was buried on the island, where
handsome tomb had been erected to
his memory.
When the Spanish surrendered Cor
regidor island to the Americans
company of soldiers and hospital men
were sent there to establish a hos
pital. While in Manila the soldiers had
heard many stories of the CorreSldor
tomb. One of the stories given out
was that vast amount OF Jewelry
and money had been stored away in
the tomb.
As soon as the American soldiers
landed on the island they at once tore
their way into the monument, out
failed to find anything of value. A
rust eaten sword and few trinkets
were all that was found.
The picture shows the hole that the
American soldiers made in the tomb.

Der. Maj. w. H. Carter, of the Sixth,
touches on the incident briefly in his
history of the regiment, but he gives
in full the letter of Gen. Miles, which
is perhaps the most striking testi-
mcnial to the heroism of handful
of enlisted men that was ever penned
by general commanding country's
armies.
In August, 1874, says the Chicago
Record-Herald, the Cheyennes, Kiowas
and Comanches were dyeing the Kan
sas border red. An exped ition against
them was fitted out at Fort Dodge,
with Gen. Nelson A. Miles in command.
The Indians fed south to the Red
river in Texas, pursued hotly by
detachment of the Sixth cavalry under
Capts. Compton and Biddle. The
braves of the allied tribes made a
stand on the face of the bluffs of the
Tule river. All told there were 600
warriors. The meager forces of the
Sixth charged, routed the reds and
drove them lover the bluffs and
through the deep precipitous can
yons, past their burning villages and
out onto the Staked Plains"

started out across the Indian-infested
wilderness.
The five cavalrymen rode northward
under the starlight. At dawn they
bivouacked, but before the morning
cup of coffee was made they saw
circling on the horizon a swarm of
Cheyennes. The eye of the sergeant
told him that to get through the
circumference of that circle was be-
yond the power of any five. men, even
though they were old campaigners Of
the Sixth cavalry. With his four fol-
lowers he made for little depression
which offered some natural advan-
tages for purposes of defense. There
the five dropped. and with carbines ad-
vanced waited the narrowing of the
red cordon's limits. The Cheyennes
charged, and charging sent volley
into that little prairie stronghold.
There was hot answer and five Chey-
enne ponies carried dead or wounded
riders out of range, for the braves
were tied to their mounts. Behind the
little natural rampant Sergt. Woodau
was sorely wounded, and one man was
diving. Let Gen. Miles letter tell the
rest of the tale:
"From early morning to dark, out
numbered rs to I, under an almost
constant fire and at such short range
that they some times used their pistols,
retaining the last charge to prevent
capture and torture, this little party
of five defended their lives and the
person of their dying comrade, with
out food and the only drink the rain
water that they collected in pool,
mingled with their own blood. There
is no doubt that they killed more than
double their number besides those
that they wounded. The simple re-
cital of the deeds of the five soldiers
and the mention of the odds against
which they fought, how the wounded
defended the dying and the dying aid
ed the wounded by exposure to fresh
wounds after the power of action was
gone-these alone present scene of
cool courage, heroism and self-sacri-
flee which duty as we'll as inclination
prompt us to recognize but which we
cannot fifty honor"
When dusk gathered on the prairie
the Cheyennes literally fled, thrashed
by the sturdy valor of five American

art she inaugurated at the technical
school that bears her name 1T San
dringham.
On not one instrument, but on
many, Queen Alexandra, who is, as
all the world knows, doctor of mu-
sic of Dublin university, is charm
ing and highly accomplished per-
former. She plays on uncommon in
struments; such as the either, dulci-
mer and harp, and is a pianist of
superb execution, who has deigned to
play sometimes for sweet charity's
sake. She took lessons from Sir
Charles Halle, among other note
worthy instrumentalists, and at Marl-
borough house has pianos in every en-
PERTAINING room, in some even cou-
pie. Her water colors are little gems
of beauty and artistic feeling, and
especially is she fond of perpetual
ing the wet sunny sweeps of low
lying coast, which possibly appeal to
her regard as Danish princess, re-
minding her of the picturesque
scenes of her fathers kingdom.
Like the king, Queen Alexandra is
devotedly attached to dogs, and has
taught her children to be fond of all
animals and to keep numbers of pets.
The year before last the princess of
Wales, as she was then, was delight
ed to receive as a birthday present
from her husband portraits of her
two pet spaniels, Billee and Punchie,
funny little Chinese and Japanese
dogs of delicate coloring and dainty
physique.
It is pathetically interesting to
know that the late queen admired
dog miniatures, and month before
she died her two favorite Pomeran-
ians had been painted in one min
iature. Turf and Marco made very
pretty group, Marco sitting up with
staid and dignifed air, and Turf
lying down with one paw daintily
raised. 1t was Marco for which her
majesty asked when she was lying i'll
few days before the end. The lit
tie creature was lifted upon the bed
and nestled up to his mistress for the
last time.

A Rows Sense of Honor.

1t might have been a mistaken idea
Of boyish honor that prompted him
TO do it, but who could but admire the
spirit of the little fellow who, while
he lay dying in a New York hospital
the other day, refused to tell the name
of the companion who had pushed him
from freight car and brought him
to his death? Don't cry, mamma"
he said, after his crushed legs had been
amputated. 1T wouldn't be fair to
tell. He didn't mean to hurt me. -
And, with his hand clutching his moth
er's tightly, the boy who was true to
his chum, even to death, passed away.

REV. CAMPBELL MORGAN.
English Preacher Who Will Curry
Forward MOOdy's Work Has
just Arrived in Anne ricn.

Rev. DR.. G. Campbell Morgan, OF
London, who has just arrived in Amer
lea to take the place of Dwight l..
Moody in the American field OF evan
gelism, was until lately the pastor OF
the New Court Congregational church,
one of the most successful churches in
all the United Kingdom. DR.. Morgan
is 50 years old. His father was Bap'
fist minister of Worcestershire, and
his mother the daughter of Baptist
deacon. The son thus came naturally
into the ministry. He began to speak
in religious meetings when he was 13
wears old. In all, he has been preach

helium could be produced, this sub
stance would not enable us to reach
the zero of temperature.
Another gas must be found as
much more volatile than helium as
helium was than hydrogen in order
to reach within one degree of zero.
If helium group comprised sub
stance having an atomic weight OF
one-half that of hclium such gas
would bring us nearer the desired
goal. Meantime the production OF
LIQUID helium is difficult and expen-
sive enough problem to occupy the
scientific world for many day.
In conclusion Prof Dewar showed
how the crystal nitrate of uranium,
when placed in liquid hydrogen, be-
came for a time self-luminous on ac-
count of the high electric stimulation
brought about by cooling causing
actual electric discharges between
the crystal molecules. When cooled
the crystal was removed from the
liquid. Luminosity and electric dis
charges took place during the return
to normal temperature.
Prof. James Dewar, whose recent
remarkable experiments with liquid
hydrogen are here described, was
really the inventor of that mystic
rious quantity. He began his re-
searches in the liquefaction OF air in
1874. Since then he has written and
read before the Royal Institution of
Great Britain more than so papers,,
giving the result of his investiga-
tons and experiments. He con-
quered liquid air, liquefied hydrogen,
and he now expects to reduce helium,
the most volatile substance known.
Prof. Dewar was born at Kincartline-
on-Forth in 1912, and was educated
at the Dollar academy and Edinburg
university. He is an NJ. A., LII. D..
D. &c., F. r. S. E., F. I. c., F. c. S.,
holds two professorships at Cam
bridge, is vice president of the Royal
society, and is coinventor with Sir
Frederick Abel of cordite. He was
awarded the first Hodgkins gold
medal of the Smithsonian institution
in 1899 for Exceptionally important
contributions to our knowledge Of
the nature and properties Of atmos-
pheric air." Prof. Dewar lives in
Albemarle street, London.

Attempt to Reduce Heliun-
Record Of His Life.

1t is q genuine pleasure to discuss
the triumph of science over nature
as recorded in interesting words OF
the experiments of the Royal society
of London.
1t is sufficiently wonderful to say
that Prof. James Dewar carried in a
jar through the streets OF London to
his lccture-room nearly two quarts
of liquid hyrogen, which until then
was the most intangible form OF mat
ter known to man. On arriving be-
fore his audience this wizard OF sci
ence, who deals with temperatures
compared with which arctic cold is
like seething furnace, produced
marvels never witnessed outside OF
his own laboratory.
He reduced hydrogen to solid
which appeared like snow in the test
tube and announced that temper
ature had been produced eight de-
grees or ten degrees lower, or within
nine degrees of absolute zero. There
is one substance only now known
which has as yet not been reduced
to liquid, and that is the new gas
helum. This most volatile form OF
matter has boiling point four de-
grees or five degrees above absolute
zero. The hope Of being able to
liquefy helium depends on subjectlng
it to the same process as has sue
ceeded with hydrogen, only instead
of using liquid air under exhaustion
as the primary cooling agent, liquid
hydrogen under exhaustion must be
employed, and the resulting liquid
collected in vacuum vessels surround
ed with liquid hydrogen. In this
way, by the use of liquid or solid
hydrogen as a cooling agent, we
ought to be able to liquefy body
having a critical point of about six
degrees to eight degrees of absolute
zero and a. boiling point of four de-
grees or five degrees. Then, if liquid

pits until in 1893 he was called to Bir'
mingham to take charge of the West
minister Congregational church in that
city. Here he met Dwight L. Moody,
who induced him to pay visit to the
Moody schools at Mortified, Mass.
DR.. Morgan was deeply impressed at
that time with the work being done
by the famous American, and he never
forgot the lesson he then learned. In
1896 he went to the New Court church
in London, where he has been very sue
cessful as pastor. He is very con-
servative in his views of the Bible,
and is more orthodox than otherwise
in his theology.

end to his misery by hanging himself.
Several years ago the man was sent by

miles from Duluth, on one corner OF
which hut was built for him. The
past few months the disease had been
affecting the unfortunate mans sight,
and although he might have existed a
number of years, a few weeks longer
and he would have been totally blind.

Kills the HOpperA.

A deadly enemy to the grasshopper
has appeared in many sections where
the pest has worked considerable havoc
during the past few weeks. and the
hope is now expressed that all danger
of further ravages from hoppers is
about at an end.
The first hope in this direction was
aroused by reports coming from On
stad and Fairfax, in Polk county,
where it was stated that hoppers ap-
peared to have lost their aggressive
ness and were dying off in large guam
titles. An examination showed that
small red insects, or parasites, were
clinging to the dead hoppers, and those
that were not dead were affected in a
similar manner.
