soon. Walsh is believed to be mentally
unbalanced. March 81 he shot and
killed Robert w. Gilchrist, a barber at
1894 West Twenty-second street, with
out cause or provocation, II is said.
Just before the adjournment of court
at 5 O'Clock Judge Baker asked Walsh
to withdraw the plea, inasumuch as
all the pleas arising from the work of
the recent grand jury should go to
Judge Hutchinson on arraignments.
Walsh firmly declined. We'll why

Judge Baker decided to let the plea OF

SHIPS WITH AIR JACKETS.
They Reduce Friction and Render
Greater Speed Possible.

They Reduce Friction and Render
Greater Speed Possible.
The air jacket for ships Is the latest
thing out. 1t is the invention of
Scotchman, and, 1t is claimed, greatly
reduces the skin friction" and as q
consequence enables higher speed to
be attained. The 'aspirator," as the
machine Is called which supplies the
air, is described as being self-acting
and without any moving parts. 1t is
V-shaped air channel, which passes
down the vessels stem as far as the
keel, and in most cases goes a certain
distance along the keel. This chan
mel may be either inside or outside the
vessel, and is provided with certain
protected openings or ports construct
ed in such way that the water rush.
ing past them produces a minus pres
sure within them and consequently
draws out a continuous stream of air,
which, passing along the submerged
surface of the ship. cuts off the imme-
diate contact with the water, and,
therefore. the water friction. 1t is the
claim OF the inventor that by means Of
his process a steamer makes her voy-
age in continuous air jacket. The
air. OF course. ultimately rises to the
surface of the water. but IL the ship
be going at a fair degree Of speed she
will pass her whole length through the
air current before II escapes. II is
said that in the experiments made
with steamships on the Tay there was
an increase OF speed amounting to
from 21 to 26 per cent OF the ordinary
speed Of the ship. and II was noted
that the greater percentage of increase
was in ships that had the greater
speed to begin with.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

MINING CLAIM
For Msstodon Bones Filled by Caiifor-

MIA Prospector.

markable mining claims ever filed has
recently come to light In Los Angeles.
A well known attorney has on his Ia

found by a client in Death Valley;
and 1t was on the bones of this animal
that the claim was filed. Death Valley
Is well-known depression In the
eastern and central par, % California.
in winter IL is not a particularly at
tractive region, but in summer It Isl
several degrees more disagreeable than
almost any other spot on earth. The
heat which is radiated from the Rocky
mountains here is unbearable, and In
midsummer the vast sunken pit Is the
home of the sand storm, and given
over to the elemental terrors. MIL
lions of years ago this region. in all
probability. was covered with a forest
growth and was frequented by large
and powerful mastodons. The valley
offers few inducements to any but the
owners of borax mines and gold, silver
and copper prospectors. IL so happened
that one of the latter entered the vale
ley late during the present season and
wandered through the mountains look
ing for treasure or signs, when he
stumbled upon some curious bones. In
vestigation showed that they were
merely the indications of others be-
meath the surface. which had not been
washed away, and a little work re-
suited in uncovering some enormous
tusks, which could belong only to an
animal of the elephant family. Fur
ther investigations showed that in
some way three gigantic elephants had
died and been covered up here. 1t was
impossible to take them out without
appliances, and as the prospector did
not wish to remain there, he adopted
the ingenious expedient of taking out
miners claim and having 1t filed
with all due ceremony. bringing one
of the tusks to Los Angeles to exhibit.
The excavations made showed that the
remains of three mastodons were lying
together undlsturbed where they had
fallen ages ago. The three mastodons
thus staked out will soon be taken out,
bone by bone, and mounted; and IL
they prove to be perfect will be as
valuable as good big nugget.

The ancients considered horse meat
as delicious food and offered 1t to
their guests as a mark OF honor, says
the Detroit Free Press. Pliny says
that the ancients killed their horses
and ate their flesh raw. The Sarma-
tions. when hungry. never hesitated to
cut vein of the animals on which
they were riding, drink his blood and
then bind the wound to save the pre-
cious fluid. An embassy sent by the
King OF France on a mission to the
Khan of Tartary, ate deliciously
smoked horse sides at his excellency's
table. While horse flesh was eaten
generally among Germans until the
days of Charlemagne. 1t was regarded
with aversion by the early Christians.
At that time there was a crusade
against this meat because OF It's being
"unclean, unwholesome and unit to
eat" The present revival of the use
OF horse flesh, concerning which the
French papers have had so much to
say, is the result of movement among
prominent men. the principal object of
which is to add 10 the food resources
OF the world.

TOBOGG GAINING qN CANADa.
Winter Sport That Is Greatly En-
 loved by All C2assea.

Tobogganing is one of the staple are not content with t-e naturally formed ''chutes" down the side of hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden creations with the planes fixed at an angle Of 45 de- grees, and with a sheer drop ef about 100 feet. Water is poured over the wooded declivity. which in the frosty air is soon transformed into ice, with surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight direction as possible, though in some cases not particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan in tying down the chute is sufficient to carry it over any slight uprisings iD the ground. The Canadian toboggan is light, strong article, about five or six feet in length, and about 20 inches in width, composed of a number of nar- row wooden strips secured longitudi- nally together, curling upward at the front. A handrail sometimes extends along each side of the toboggan 10 en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front, the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or six ocs cupants in one toboggan, and with such combined weight the sledge flies down the chute as if impelled from cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto for the fun is fast and furious When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies prone upon it, and in this manner, on account of the small amount of re- sistanee that is offered by the atmos- 3here, the maximum of speed is gained. The chutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog. gan Is not permitted to leave the sum- init of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide Occasionally, by some mischanee in- cured through faulty manipulation of the toboggan, a spill occurs on the chute and if following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite as dis, astrous and terrible as a collision be- tween express trains.

Mer- eury, or quicksilver is nearly fourteen times heavier than water, and it must seem strange to see fiat irons and large chunks of rock floating around upon it's surface in the lower basin. The mer- cury falls in constant shower of sil- yer spray from a basin seven feet above the one in which these heavy objects are Boating, and it is raised back up into this upper basin by an, endless chain upon which are fastened twen- ty-eieht til-y buckets, which dip into the mercury and carry it up, one after the other The entire fountain is paint ed black, and when it is lit Up at night the silver rain sparkling tn the electric light against black background is very pretty.

everything that China reveres. The claiming Of
extraterritorial privileges by missionaries lends
itself easily to many abuses. even if the mis-
sionaries were mpeccable and infallible and.
whatever may be its necessity from the point
of view of the secular powers, its employment
by missionaries has embittered the Chinese
against Christianity.
1t will be said. of course, by the friends Of
the missionaries that this description Of the
feeling against them in China is overdrawn,
and that there is no real objection in that coun-
try to the preaching of Christianity. There
may be a measure of truth in this. Certainly 1t
is not the preaching Of the Gospel that has
reused the anti-foreign feeling in China; but the
belief on the part OF the Chinese that the mis-
overturn their government and customs Nor
can the missionaries themselves be acquitted
of all blame for this feeling on the part of the
Chinese What must their educated men think
when they read article by n missionary
glOryng in loOting? Or how can they square
with the teachings of Christ the demand of
some missionaries that they ride In green chairs
and be recognized as the equals Of viceroys
and governors? A few weeks ago Bishop Pot
ter whose right to speak for the most enight-
ened Christian sentiment will not be questioned.
dwelt on the harm done by the failure Of some
missionaries to understand and respect the point
Of view Of the Chinese. And it cannot be
doubted that this failure on their part has
helped to complicate the situation in China
