SCIENCE BEATS NATURE.
Implements Of q Present-Day Labora-
tory Make the Human Organs
Seem Gross,

The eye and the ear have long been
regarded az marvels Of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful thing in the
world. But compared with the imple-
ments of a present day laboratory, the
sensitiveness of all human organs
seems gross enough, says Harper's
Magazine. A Photographic plate,
coupled with q telescope, will reveal
the presence Of millions of stars whose
light does not affect the retina in the
least. The microscope, too, with its
revelations of the world Of the infinite
ly small, tells us how crude, after all.
is this most delicate Of the senses. In
deed, we may liken 1t to a piano, where
only a single octave toward the middle
sounds. From the ultra violet to the
lowest reaches of the spectrum is a
range of some nine octaves of like vi
brations, Of which, save for u new
mechanical sense, we should never have
been conscious Of but one.
The ear hears. little of what is going
on around us. By means of a micro.
phone the tread of a fly sounds like the
tramp of cavalry. Our heat sense is
very vague; we need a variation of at
least one-ffth Of q degree on a Their
mometer to realize any difference in
temperature. Prof. Langley's little
bolometer will note the difference of
a millionth of a degree. It is 200, 900
times as sensitive as u skin.

TOWER.
Interesting Relic of the Strange Peo..
pie That Was Built on a Noun
tain Point,

Nothing in this country 80 fascinates
the explorer and archaeologist as the
ruins Of the cliff dwellers in New Mex
leo. Many of these remarkable ruins
are situated in the vast Mancos can
yon, within q days ride of Durango,
Col, on the Rio Grande Southern rail-
way, says the New York Herald.
Perched 7O0feet above the valley, on
a ledge of the mountain, stands a two
story house, made of finely cut sand
stone, each block about II by 6 inches,
accurately fitted and set in mortar,
now harder than the stone itself. The
floor is the ledge of the rock and the
roof the overhanging cliff, There are
three rooms on the ground floor, each
one six by nine feet, with partition
walls of faced stone. Traces Of a floor
which once separated the upper from
the lower story still remain. Each of
the stories. is six feet in height, and
all the rooms are plastered and paint
ed q dull brick red, with q white band
along the floor.
Near this house, on a lofty hill, ris-
ing 500 feet above the valley, stands
the ruined fortified watch tower,
which plainly demonstrates that the
strange people who in ages remote
built these houses were prepared to
resist assault. Traditions are few
concerning this lost race and history
throws no light on the subject.

NOT so N
British Soldiers IN south Africa
Saved s5,OOO,OOO for the Folks
at Home,

The post Office Is throwing some
side lights upon the character of the
British soldier which will be read
with interest. It appears that Tommy
is not such an absent-minded beg
gar as he is made out to. be. Tommy
himself has always resented the SOU
briquet. and the fact that he has
sent 2 million of money home from
the Cape in postal orders during the
past year is q colossal testimony to
his thrift and thoughtfulness of
home needs. says the London Ex-
press.
This useful public service has a
section with every column for tel
egraphic and postal work, and not
only do they get letters safely
through Boer-ridden territory. but
they manage to preserve government
stock from capture with, great skill
and foresight. OF course some postal
dispatches have fallen into the en-
emy's hands, but the check upon be-
lated mail bags is SO keen that the
misuse of postal orders is rare.
Mail running from columns off
the railway is q dangerous game, and
the army post Office man requires
not only to be an efficient postal
servant, but q strategist, in SO much
as to know when not to send. Sew
eral deaths have occurred in the de-
tense Of the mail bags, SO that he
has to be q combatant at times.

BIG GUN FIRED IN ARMoRY.
Rubber and Air Used Instead
of Powder.

At the review of the Thirteenth egi-
ment, heavy artillery, in the Sumner
Avenue armory, Brooklyn, n night
lately, a big eight-inch disappearing
coast gun was fred for the first time
in public. Brig. Gen. Wallace F. Ran
dolph, chief of artillery, U. S. A., who
is stationed at Washington, super
intended the firing, says a New
York exchange. A target eight feet
square was erected in the center of the
drill hall 800 feet from the gun. The
gun was elevated and sighted, and then
the first shell, which on this occasion.
was made Of rubber, a fred by COM
pressed air, instead Of powder. The
shell struck the top of the target. The
second shell landed near the bottom
of the target, and the third went over
the mark, landing at the feet Of the
spectators, who were seated on the side
of the armory directly opposite the
gun. Another shot vas fred, and this
time the shell struck the target almost
in the center, eliciting much applause.
The artillery men then worked the gun
go that it disappeared several times.
