Death at a Wedding.

Death came as an unbidden guest
into the midst of wedding party at
Duluth when rifle bullet fired by
Oscar Londen crashed through the
side of the house and killed Mrs.
Hannah Matson.
The tragedy occurred at the house
of John Alp, where Matt Anton and
Hilda Frederickson had been married
earlier in the evening. Following the
wedding the assembled friends parti-
cipated in a party in honor of the
event.
Oscar Londen was one of a chari-
vari party and carried 40-60 Spring
field rife. Standing near the house
he was firing the gun in the air, low
ering the muzzie each time he
pumped new shell into the firing
Chamber. At the fatal shot he fail
ed to get the muzzle of the gun elev-
ated sufficiently before the weapon
was discharged, with the result
stated.

interestInd Relic.

A gun owned by John Other Day,
the noted friendly Indian of the
Sioux uprising, is the recent acquisi-
ton of the state historical society.
During the Sioux uprising colony
of sixty-two whites were surrounded
by the Yellow river station. The
country was filled with hostile In
dians, and it was apparently only
a matter of days when they would
swoop down on the station. John
Other Day made his way to Yellow
Medicine and guided the besieged
colonists in safety to the stronger
posts at Hutchinson, Carver and Sha-
kopee.

A Wiser Man.

was when he arrived. He landed in
Minneapolis a few days ago while on
his way to North Dakota and had
$370 in his pocket. Fearing highway
men, he decided to leave the money
in safe place, and deposited it with
the bartender in Washington ave-

stock of the Reading railroad in the
interests of the Baltimore & Ohio and
Lake Shore railroads. When such
transactions as this are to be carried
out, there is room to save or lose mil
lions of dollars, and by his wonderful
Diplomacy Mr.. Schiff saved these mil

He is perhaps the leading Hebrew of
New York, and there are many monu-
ments to his great generosity, such as
the Montefiore home, the Jewish Theo-
logical seminary, the Semitic muse

Nurses settlement on the New York
east side. He is trustee of the Baron
de Hirsch fund, and has been treas
urer of Bernard college. Mr.. Schitf

larger part of his business career ip
Frankfort, until he came to this coun-
try, over 80 years ago.

smoke Turned Into Gas.

A novel method of getting rid of
black smoke, and, at the same time.
turning it to practical use, is now be-
ing adopted in some Belgian factories.
The smoke is driven by fans into a
porous receptacle over which flows a
stream of petroleum or similar liquid; !;
the smoke is thus caught and turned
into gas that gives great heat, and
can be used for running gas engines.

BELL FOUNDING.
Il Is an Ancient Art, Its Origin
shroudcd In antiquity.

shroudcd In antiquity.
The art of bell founding is undoubt
adly of great antiquity. The SaNons
are known TO have used bells in their
churches although probably but small
ones, Cor the Venerable Bede, writing
at the end of the seventh century, al
ludes to them in terms which seem to
show that they We're not unfamiliar
things. The towers of the Saxon pc
riod have belfries of considerable di-
mansions in most cases, and at Crow
land abbey, in south Lincolnshire,
there was a famous peal of seven bells
many years before the Mormon con-
quest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of
the art of bell founding. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in Latin, containing perhaps some OBJ
scure joke, the point of which is quite
lost. More often they were of re
ligious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmiXed with dash of superstition,
as when the bell declares that its
sound drives away the demons of the
air who caused pestilence and famine,
lightning and thunderstorms.
As rule, unfortunately, they put
no dates on their bells, defect
which has been in some measure over
come by the researches of many en-
thusiastic campanologists, but which Is
likely TO keep the early history of bells
shrouded in darkness for long time
to come -Gentlemais Magazine.

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
various improvements That Have
Been Made In It's shape.

Various ImprON ements Ihut linNr
Dccn Made In Its shape.
The ships anchors in general used up
to the beginning of the last century
consisted OF long. round iron shank,
having two comparatively short,
straight arms o" nukcs, inclined to the
shank ut an angle of about 10 degrees
and meeting it in Il somewhat sharp
point at the crown. In large anchors
the bulky wooden stock WAS built up
Of several pieces hoopcd together, the
whole tapcring outward to the ends,
especially on Tie aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last cen
tury II clerk in the Plymouth naval
yard, pcrng by name. suggested GER
tain improvements, the most important
OF which was making the arms curved
Instead Of straight 1t first sight this
simple change may seem Of little value,
bur consideration VIII show that this is
not the ease. The hnlding power Of IN
anchor depends GA two principal con
dtions namely. the extent of useful
holding surface and the amount of
vertical penetration. Tile Inter quail
ity is necessary on account of the ma
ture of ordinary sea bottoms, the sur
face layers of which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than IS the
ground short distance below
In the year 1881 chain cables began
TO superscde the hempen ones. with
the result that the long shankcd an
chors hitherto In vogue were 10 longer
necessary. and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence of THESE changes com
mission was appointed in the year 1888
to inquire into the holding power of an
chors. and principal result of Its la-
bors was the adoption of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor, which coli
tinucd 10 be used in The navy up 10 the
year 1860. The invention of the steam
hammer in 1872 made the welding of
heavy masses of iron comparatively
easy and reliable process, so that from
this time onward the Strength OF an
chors fully kept pace with that of the
chain cables which had come into gen
ernl use
4 number of patents for anchors
were taken ont prior 10 the great ex-
hiblton of ISL, and. public attention
having been called to the models there
shown, in the following year commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty TO
report on the qualifications of anchors
of the various kinds. Practical trials
were then instituted, and rs result
Trotmuns anchor took the highest
place Rodgers anchor being second
ON the list Some of the tests TO which
the anchors were submitted We're of
doubtful value, such, for instance, as
facility for sweeping" Nowadays,
however, nj alI events for deep ships
in shallow harbors, it Is considered an
advantage for an anchor to offer as lit
tie obstruction rs possible above the

ANIMAL LANGUAGE,

NJ, Innnni Arnr

s0nnds Both Shrili and Low That
We Cannot Hear.
Mlost people suppose n mole To be
dumb, but ii Is not. a mole can give
Il sound 50 shrill that 1t hasn't any
effect on the human ear ut all and an
other sound so low and soft TINT 10
human being can hear 1t. Yet wea-
sci can hear both these sounds as plain
~ rs you can the report of gun, and
sound registering machinc-the pho
nautograph will show them both, with
scores of other sounds you are deaf to.
The usual note of the mole is low
pur, which 1t uses Il good deal while
at work underground, and 1t can also
shout ut the top of its voice If hurt or
alarmed; but though 1t shouted and
purred in your ear, you wouldn't hear
1t. The sound register, however, with
its delicate pencil that marks the vol
ume of sound on n paper, gives the
quality of both sounds.
a weasel, too, which is one of the
mole's enemies, can hear these sounds
through couple of inches of earth
and often catches the mole when he
throws up his hillocks of earth. The
common field mouse, too, has a pur
that is altogether beyond you, though
you can hear him squeak plainly
enough If he Is hurt. 4 deaths head
moth, too, can squeak, but that Is done
by rubbing his wings together and is
not n voice ut all.
But the champion of all creatures for
good hearing and one that can hear
sound that Is over 100 degrees beyond
your own limit IS the common thrush,
and you may often amuse yourself by
watching him Mt it. He can hear n
lobworm moving underground, locate
him by the noise and haul him out.
Often you may see n thrush stand
perfectly still ON your lawn, cock his
ear and listen intently, then make a
couple of steps and haul out fat lob
worm. Even the starting, which is
about the size of thrush, cannot do
this, but he knows the thrush can, and,
being disreputable person, with no
common honesty, he follows the young
thrushes about on their worm hunts
and steals the worms from them as
soon as they are caught.-London An
