Story of the Killing
of the Last
Big Buffalo Bull

The following account of the killing
of the last big buffalo bull appears in
the Macleod Gazette in the form of a
letter signed wyoming Bill":
Early in November, 1887, John Nolan
and other half-breeds were near the
forks of the Red Deer and South
Saskatchewan when they came across
bunch of eleven buffalo, one of the
bunch being a very large bull.
They killed the big bull, two COWS
and a calf and brought them into
swift Current. J. Grant got the head
of the bull and Curry Bros, got the
two cows heads and hide and the calf
No doubt atterward the half-breeds
cleaned out the rest of the bunch, for
they were never heard of again.
Hine of Winnipeg mounte: the bulls
head and in 1893 it was loaned to the
government and was sent to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, where it was
much admired.

Red Deer would do we'll to go and see

A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing Of
Hindu family life, remarks that it is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindus therefore find d
means of Kidding themselves OF too
many daughters by numbering them.
It is we'll known fact that Hindus, OF
high BIRTH those who are called
Rajputs, caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This Grim
inal custom had become so universal
that in 1910 in the seventy-three viii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under II years
of age, and three years later in the
town of Agra there was not one to be
found under that age. All had been
put to death, says the London Pail
Mall Gazette
The English government has very
naturally passed very severe laws
against this abominable crime, but to
evade them the Hindus allow their
girls to live until the age OF IL. after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses.

Orientals are past masters in the art
OF poisoning, and after some minute
inquiries it transpires that in many
districts twenty-five out of every 100
girls have been got rid of in this
manner. Those girls who have been
spared marry very early, generally be-
tween IA and Is years, and that not
according to their own choice, but by
the will Of their parents, which is de-
clslve. An Indian family of high rank
could not keep an unmarried daugh-

RARE VIRTUES OF GINSENG,

How the Plant Was Regarded in Old
Time Virginia.
Colonel William Byrd Of Westover,
a famous Virginia planter and gentle
man, tells in his diary of the "vertues
of ginseng" which he tested on a sur
veying journey. Though ePractice
will soon make a man of tolerable
Vigor an able Footman,' he says, "yet,
as Help to bear Fatigue I used to
chew Root of Ginseng as Walkd
along. This kept up my spirits, and
made me trip away as nimbly in my
half Jack-Boots as younger men could
in their Shoes. This Plant is in high
Esteem in China, where it sells for its
Weight in Silver. It's ver-
tues are that it gives an uncommon
Warmth and Vigor to the Blood, and
frisks the Spirits beyond any other
Cordial. It chears the Heart even Of
a man that has: a bad, Wife, and makes
him look down with great Composure
on the Crosses Of the World. In one
Word, it will make a Man live great
while, and very well while he does
live. And what is more, it will even
make Old Age amiable by rendering it
cheerful, lively and good humored."
q, If half what Colonel Byrd says is
true, ginseng ought to be a root more
popular than even ''Sasgafras, o Sass
safrass,'' that the warriors from Catta-
raugus will be bringing in to US pres

WagOn-Loading Attachments.

In excavating dirt in large quantities
it is common practice to use teams and
scrapers to draw the dirt to a dump.
Or else to employ large number of
men to shovel the dirt into carts to
be drawn away. The former method
is slow work, in view of the small
loads which can be taken, while the
latter is expensive because of the cost
OF labor and the necessity of keeping
the teams idle while the loading is
going on.
Adam Gehringer Of Philadelphia, Pa,
has just patente:- an apparatus which
should overcome these objections, a
picture Of which is shown herewith.
1t consists of two traction wheels, sup
porting steel frame, on which are
mounted three buckets on an endless
chain. The lower part of the frame is

Batteries Under Water.

A remarkable instance of a battery
of accumulators working under water
was recently given in Munich. The
station is situated on an island in the
Isar, and during the flood the water
covered the batteries. According to
the Scientific American, one of the
batteries which ran the car lines was
completely cut out, and it was thought
that the other, which furnished light,
would have to be treated in the same
way. The fy-wheels of the engines
we're half in the water. Nevertheless,
as it was almost indispensable to light
at least the principal streets of the
city, it was decided to try to operate
the submerged battery. The attempt
was successful, and the battery, which
had been constructed to give 5000 am
pere-hours with a 60O-ampere dis
charge. was able to furnish 1000 am
pere-hours during the night The re-
mainder was lost in discharges in the
water.

A Curious Rainfall.

On Jan. 2 of this year rain fell 1T
Periers in France for several hours.
The rainwater collected looked like lye,
Or like water containing clay. It was
odorless, of earthly taste and slightly
saline. After twenty-four hours it
precipitated an abundant deposit that
was almost entirely silicious. Linen
clothes and the leaves Of plants were
covered with considerable silicious
matter. AS previous rains had thor
oughly wetted the ground this phe-
nomenon is not to be explained by
supposing that large amount of 81
licious dust had been carried into the
air by winds and subsequently precipi-
lated by rain. The most probable ex-
PLANTATION is that the water of the pre-
vious rains lay in very shallow pools
on the surface of silicious ground and
that by high winds (Which were OBJ
served) the water was raised into the
air and subsequently descended as
rain.

His Fourteen Miles OF Driving in Man
haitian.
George Washington, when he was
President of the United States, rode in
coach drawn by six horses. This
coach was made in England and it ar
rived in New York in 1889. The body
and wheels were of cream color, with
gilt relief, and part of the sides and
fronts were shaded by green Venetian
blinds. Upon each of the four panels
was picture emblematic of one of the
four seasons. The: original Indian
name of New York was Manhattan In
January, 1885. Congress met in Federal
Hall, at the corner Of Wall and Nassau
streets, and this city was the national
capital for five years, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
Washington was here inaugurated as
President April 80. .1789. Manhattan
Island then presented one of the most
beautiful drives in the world and
Washington frequently made the four
teen-mile circuit in his coach. This
drive led up to- what is now the Bow
cry and Third avenue. then called the

the island and down the Bloomingdale

CANT country seats and broad stretches

dent was usually content with four
horses, but when he started on the
long drive from Mount Vernon six
horses pranced in front of the coach.
Fifteen years after the death of Gem
eral Washington this catch became the
property Of Bishop Bead OF Virginia.
Our first President was good horse
man and he<was none the less devoted
to the interests of the people because
he rode in state. Should he revisit the
scenes of: his former glory he would
find it difficult to trace the old four-
teen-mile drive and he would meet in
the glad springtime up in Central Park

why shouldn't the same idea be applied

WHAT TIL: PANAMA ROUTE IS.
1t Il. 1900 A,le. Long and Follow,
Chagres River Most of Distance.

~ ~ 3o'Vo AAeS Long ana FOLLOWS
ChsKres River Most of Distance.
" The Panama route is but 1909 miles
long from ocean to ocean, which is but
little more than one-fourth of the total
length of the Nicaragua route. There
IS, therefore, less room for variety of
features than is found on the Nicara-
qua line. The city Of Colon, formerly
called Aspinwall, was chosen by the
OLD Panama company as the Atlantic
terminus. The route then follows
along the marshes in a southwesterly
direction to little place called Gatun,
on the Chagres river. From that point
1t follows the line of that river in
general way to Obispo, thirty miles
from Colon.
At Obispo the route leaves the Cha
gres and enters the Emperador cut,
which merges into the great Culebra
cut, where the line crosses the CONT
mental divide. From the latter point
It's general course lies along small
stream called the Rio Grande until it
reaches the waters of Panama bay.
This route has attained great promi-
nence within the latst twenty years IN
consequence of the work done on it by
the old Panama Canal Company, a
french corporation of which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps was the head. It was
not until 1888 that work upon a large
scale was begun. The plan adopted
was that of sea-level canal and in
GUIDED bottom width of seventv-tW0
feet and a navigable depch of 29.5 feet.
The entire cost of the work was esti-
mated by De lesseps in 1880 at about
Sl2S,OO0,0 900, and eight years for the
time required.
Work under this sea-level plan was
prosecuted actively until the near end
OF 1887, says a writer in Scribner's,
when it became evident that the canal
on sea-level plan could not be con-
structed for the amount of money and
time then available to the company.

Use .f Sxoae IN Water.

Some interesting details have lately
been published concerning the use of
ozone in purifying water. Ozone is
oxygen in a highly active condition
end it occurs in small quantities in
the air of the sea and of the noun
tains. Near Berlin an establishment
has been erected for the purpose of ex-
perimenting on the effects of ozone in
Kidding water Of the microbes it con-
tains. OzoniZed air containing from 2
tC ; grams per cubic meter "a cubic
meter equals 220.09 gallons and gram
is about Is grains) is passed upward
into a tower which is filled with iints
and in. its passage meets the water
coming down and thus acts upon it. 1t
has been shown that, as regards water
from the Spree, the number of mi
crobes was decreased from 100000 per
cubic centimeter (.061 cubic inch) to
10, which is practically nil. The total
cost is set down at 35 cents per 1000
cubic feet. Ozone has long been
known as natures disinfectant," and
its application to the publication of
water becomes, therefore, matter of
great interest. If the cost can be re-
duced this mode of publication may
have chance of widespread adoption.

is one Of the greatest life can bring

visit the Jordan, but actually to battle

opens to let a procession Of purple

then the pilgrims close in again, and
station themselves along the banks,
eager and watchful. And now, quite
reverently, jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface of the

the sacred symbol touch the water
than dive is made into it by the
enthusiastic crowd, which splashes and

next day to Jerusalem, he will see
these childlike peasants, bedragg4ed
