THE MODERN CIRCUS.

Lesson to Soldiers.

IL is the Perfection of System and
Lesson to Soldiers.
If during the war with Spain the
men in charge of transportation and
the commissariat had been not gor-
geous army officers but first class cir
cusmen, the soldiers would not have
gone hungry as they did, and would
not have sickened and died of their
own poisoning as they did The rough
riders would have had their horses in
Cuba, and the regulars would have
had more than one ambulance to carry
the wounded to Siboney. There's
something interesting in that
The emperor of Germany was very
much interested to see how the Amer
lean circusmen got their wagons on
and off the fiat cars; not over the side
with lot of trouble and yehoing, but
with one pair of horses and from the
end of the train of flats. There are
channel irons that act as tracks for
the wagons from car to car the whole
length of the train, and channel irons
leading to the ground. These irons

SCIENCE NOTES.
Electricity.

Between A. d. 1900 and A. D. 1900
electricity was known as some force
which could be separated of into two
opposite kinds. and left to stand on
insulators, or on a conductor which
was insulated: therefore, in this phase
it is called statical electricity. Some
times the two kinds being near to
one another would burst across the in
terval with spark. At the beginning
took the form of running round a
metallic circuit with infinite velocity;
at one point In the course lie the ma
terials which give rise to the force. A
rapid succession of discoveries has
shown that a wire bearing this subtle
influence may be made the instrument
for nearly all human needs, but no
one knows yet what takes place in the
wire or what electricity really is.
About the year 1870 new view began
to grow in the minds of advanced
workers Great discoveries in phil
osophy are commonly due, not SO
much to an expeTimenter, as to a
ueep penetrating HlInu dlIlOSL lHSpITeu
with an unerring imagination Such
was Professor Clerk Maxwell. of Cam
bridge. In his work on electricity pub
lished at oxford in 1873 he forecasts
the operation of ether in transmitting
electricity across space. Professor
Hertz of Carlsruhe. disciplined him
self in Clerk Maxwelps abstruse trains
of thought and in 1889 justified by
experiment his teachers clear prophe-
cies.

SEA AND LAND HIS
J, PIERPoNT MORGAN HOLDS
WHOLE WORLD IN HIS GRASP.
REACHES HIS AMBITION
is Thorough American and a Good
churchman Has Given Large
Sums for Religious Purposes
Enormous Power Which He Now
Yields.

Today the world is in the grasp OF
J. Pierpont Morgan. He was content
at one time to own only land interest,
but now the sea and the land alike are
his.
John Pierpont Morgan is an iron
man. He has few of the characters
tics that ordinarily make one man tie
to another His ambition ever since
he was IS years old has been to be a
master of men. That he has reached
his ambition is shown by the fact that
today he has control not only of acre
upon acre of real estate, but of the
very sea itself
John Pierpont Morgan is an Amer
lean. The English fear him and the
Germans fear him. With him it is
perhaps a financial question, but the
Americanism of the man is side by
side with his finance. Men who know
him say that he is the truest American
that one can find in the circle OF the
very rich. They say that if by any
possibility he could do something that
would bring him millions and yet be
against the interest of the United
States he would say: mo, m have
none of It,"
John Pierpont Morgan is a good
churchman He Is an Episcopalian
who has the courage of Episcopal con-
victions. He never has made any
secret of the fact that his religious
benefactions should be given to the
church in which he thoroughly be-
lieves. 1t was once said by the rector
of st. Georges church, New York
City, that he was ashamed TO ask from
the pulpit contributions for any of the
church's charitable concerns because
the members of his parish, and John
Pierpont Morgan in particular, had
given so much and so literally at all
times.

Is of American Percentage.

Is of American Percentage.
Mr. Morgan was born in Hartford
Conn. April II, 1887 1t is ordinarily
believed that Mr. Morgan is of English
parentage. Heis not. He is an Amer
lean of many generations. His father
was Junius Spencer Morgan, and his
grandfather was Joseph Morgan.
Joseph Morgan was the sturdy old
yankee who fought under General
Washington, and, when the liberties
of his country were assured. returned
to his farm near the village of Hart
ford and, like Cincinnatus, was con-
tent with pastoral life.
When travellers became numerous
along the road that passed by Joseph
Morgan's farm they were accustomed
to ask him for a nights lodging
Eventually the farmhouse became
tavern. and Joseph's grandfather, John
Pierpont Morgan, was once filled with
the ambition to become hotel keeper
Mr. Morgan does not like to have that
matter referred to today He got over
out with the idea that he was going to
make himself not only wealthy, but
Weather than most He seems to
have succeeded.
Mr.. Morgan apparently has been
able to combine an unerring CONNER
cial and financial instinct with an in
satiable love of the beautiful in art
and nature. From the Morgans came
the financial side of his life. and from
the Pierponts came the artistic side.
John Pierpont, the grandfather on the
mothers side, would today be called a
crank. He was an uncompromising
abolitionist at time and in a com
munity when and where abolition ideas
were not popular
John Pierpont has been called time
after time brilliant but cratic In
John Pierpont Morgan there appears
to be in financial matters something
OF the brilliancy that marked his
grandfather
Spends Much Time With Family.
The man who today holds the world
ularly approachable. He loves his
family and wishes when he is away
from the business end of things to be
with them and with them only. Mr..
Morgan's summer home at Cragston
just below West Point, is one of the
most delightful places in the country.
He goes there and to certain extent
isolates himself. The only companion.
ship that he seeks is that of the cadets
at West Point, whom he asks to come
down and visit him about once in two
weeks. He occasionally takes the EN-.
bryo soldiers out on his steam yacht.
and hard work he has to get permits
sion for them to leave the shore.
A statement of Mr.. Morgan's bene-
factions will show his leaning toward
the Episcopal Church. 1t is true that
he gave s1000.000 to Harvard. put il
is said by friends of Mr.. Morgan. that
he gave this large amount to a Unitar-
ian college because the college once
had asked to be its chaplain Rev
Phillips Brooks. rector of Trinity
Church. Boston.

with a silver water pitcher and goblet

1t was the desire Of three western
desperadoes to eat their Christmas

gave Mrs. KEGS the opportunity to
show her mettle. Walla Walla, Wash,
always had considered the sheriff's
wife plucky little creature, but never
had the town reached the point where
it seemed justified in challenging the
west for her equal.
Among the desperate men who were
locked in the Walla Walla Jail were Ar

man, and "Giant Jack" Andrews, the
terror Of the Coppei hills. Eleven other

to escape is believed to have originated
with Rogers, Linn and Andrews.

man life more or less is not matter of
great concern to the bad men of the
Walla Walla country.
1t was on Sunday evening when
Jailer Malone stepped into the eorri-
dor TO lock the cells for the night. A
figure leaped from a shadow, there
was a quick blow, and in another in
slant three men were sitting astride
the PROSTATE jailer. Giant Jack" had
his fingers on Malone's throat and was
choking him to death.
Frantically Malone clungto the keys,
but his grip was weakening. Outside
the crippled sheriff was standing on
guard, gun in hand, but fearful that
he could not withstand the rush OF the
IA maddened men.
The prisoners secured the keys and
in an instant the door was unlocked.
Sheriff KEGS braced himself, and tried
as best he could to prevent the men
from pushing the iron barrier open.
Suddenly woman's voice was heard:
'That will do. Giant Jack it said.
go back to your cell-go back to your
cell, or I'll shoot!"
The big desperate, whose weight
had been thrown against the door,
staggered back. Through the crack of
the door protruded the barrel of a re-
voiver, and g,ancing over the sights
were the swapping blue eyes of the
sheriff's wife.
"You understand, DO you, Jack ?" the
woman said. I'm going to kill you
unless you return to your cell"
The other prisoners, less logged
than their leader, already had skunk to
the rear of the corridor. "Giant Jack"
hesitated for moment. as if trying to
devise some way to conquer the plucky
woman who held his life in her hands.
"0re. two, TIL"
The woman had started TO count.
and The terror Of Coppei county under
stood that at three she would fire.
Don't shoot-don't shoot" plead
ed the big man to the little woman.
''I'm beat. You're too many for us.
I'll quit"
And with that Giant Jack" who wa
a terror to men, capitulated to the
'bravest woman in the west" and the
Walla Walla Jail delivery had failed.
The prisoners were herded into their
cells and il was found that Malone. the
jailer, was only slightly injured The
next day all signs of the revolt had died
away, but an extra guard was on duty.
and, as Sheriff KEGS put it, he was
taking no chance"
That is why Mrs. KEGS is the idol of
all Walla Walla-an idol that will not
be shattered easily, for who could fail
to admire the bravest woman in the
west?
