600 paid for the clock made by Louis
XVI. of France. 1t was purchased
by one of the Rothschilds.
1t is estimated by the bureau of
forestry in the department of agri-
culture that 60 lives on an average
are lost every year in this country in
consequence of forest fires.
Many of the most wonderful feats
of magic were known centuries ago.
There is the famous trick of making
a plant grow instantaneously, for ex-
ample, which was described in a
French paper of the year 1858, but
the secret of it was not given.
An egg shell emptied through a
small hole drilled in one end has
been found by Mr.. A. E. Guy to with
stand an external pressure of CTS
pounds per square inch, and an in
ternal pressure of IS pounds per
square inch. The pressure was ap-
piled with an air pump, the shells
porosity being overcome by thin
rubber balloon, which for the respec-
tive tests was slipped over the out
| side of the shell and pushed into the
interior through small opening.
Some peculiar and interesting geo.
logical characteristics have been en-
countered in constructing the grade

The Reward
Of Duty x =: Z
BY EDWARD ,. CLARK.
mo YOUR duty though the heav-
A. n u n f.

mo YOUR duty though the heav-
ems fall" said the commandant
OF cadets to the battalion of stripping
soldiers. The comlnandant had a
curious way of mixing his aphorlsms'
but he meant well. IS 49, 49,
II Obedience and devotion to duty are
the keynotes of the scale of lite's har-
lnony at West Point. Duty begins in
the morning when the student mon
CON- reports his fellow cadet for hav-
ing forgotten to turn his wash bowl
upside down, and it ends at 'taps,"
when the inspecting officer reports
some luckless one for being fraction
of second late in getting between
blankets. It's duty, hard duty, gen
orally distasteful duty, but in the end
it generally pays in acquired discip-
line. Even at West Point, however, it
is sometimes possible to stretch the
idea Of duty beyond the normal limit.
Billy Lang was a first-class man.
Billy was a private. He probably
would have been cadet officer ii ne
hadn't been caught the previous Will
ter taking trip to Cold Spring over
the frozen surface of the Hudson.
That was the time Billy felt the re-
suit of an officers devotion to duty.
Billy took his punishment without
murmur, for he was a ''crank" on the
subject of duty. The commandments
lessons on the subject, especially as
applied to what it was ones duty to
do to others who happened to make
disciplinary slips, had made a deep
impression on Billy Lang's mind.
1t was in Billy's 'yearling' camp
that he met Frances Curtis. She was
n mighty pretty girl, who lived in New
York city and who had spent a month
at the Point with her mother. Billy
had called on her in New York when
he went on his furlough as a second
class man, and now that he was in
frst-class camp, here was Miss Curtis
hotel on the brow of the bluff over
looking the siege battery.
Billy Lang was the Oldest man in
his class and consequently was called
dad" He was just under the age
limit when he entered and would be
.Witair a month of &c when he grad
uated. Now Billy was in love with
Frances Curtis. There wasn't any
question about that at all, and he had
an idea that was not in the least dim
that Frances Curtis lad fallen victim
to his handsome face, soldierly bear
ing and brass bell buttons.
He was sitting with her now under
the trees near the camp guard tents.

Motor Buses for London.

A large number of motor omnibuses
of new type will soon be upon London
streets. They are being built near Ed
inburgh ior a London syndicate, and
will have a maximum speed of Il
miles an hour. They will be fitted
with two powerful brakes and will be
upholstered in red leather. Large
windows will be used, which can be
removed in hot weather. When empty
the vehicle weighs 5000 pounds, and
will form pleasing contrast in ele-
gance to the present horse bus.

Billy was on guard, though off post
for the time being.
"You see, Miss Curtis" he said, "the
second class being on furlough and the
.plebes' not being military enough yet
to do duty, we first-class men have to
walk post to help the 'yearlings' out.
When the 'plebes' are turned into the

Billy. Zone should always do his

Billy Lang was hugely pleased to
find that on the subject of duty
Frances Curtis ideas conceded with
his own. He changed the subject,
however, abruptly. II see that Mr..
Jackson is here" he said, looking at
Frances in a half-curious way.
"Yes," answered the girl, touch of

erection of building at the state
institutions this summer. 1t had
been planned to Immediately ap-
peal the case against the state
treasurer to the supreme court.
The case, if decided against the
institutions. would prevent the
rectionofbulldings thissummer;
but now, even if, decided favora-
bly,, it would be too late to get the
work done before fall. It will
take twenty days to get the su
preme court together and then it
would require week or ten days
for the arguments and decision.
By that time July would be prac-
.ically gone and the season too
far advanced for the erection of
the school buildings before the
opening Of the school terms.
There is great disappointment
over the adjournmsnt of the su-
preme court before the matter
could be presented.

Elevator Burned.


At about a. m. Tuesday morning
our people were awakened by the sound
ing of the fire alarm. The Monarch
elevator was found to be in flames and
beyond any hope Of being saved before
the department could get around. The
fire was first noticed by Station Agent
Payne who was awakened by the glare
made by the fire. The fire seemed to
have started in the office which was a
mass of flames when the alarm was
turned in. There was no wind blow
ing and the building was quickly con-
sumed and setted down steadily as it
burned. The fire boys simply protected
the surrounding buildings and lumber
piles and checked the fire from spread
ing. Noone knows how the fire started.
We are informed by Agent G. O. john
son that there was between $500 and
3, 600 bushels of grain in the elevator
when it burned. Insurance was car
ried but we have been unable to learn
the amount.

Mabel,
Editor Trubshaw,
Dear Sir:-

Editor Trubshaw,
Dear Sir
In the recent issue
of your paper we find an article which
toour surprise, denounccs a dance given
here some fews ago. 1t is evidently
written by some bigoted person who
seems to suffer from an overflow of self
confidence.
In order to justify our position, we
wish to say that it was not a money
making scheme, quite the contrary
but that it was far more remunera-
tive affair than expected; and that, if
.sX Y ~ is hard up, We may be able to
scrape together a few dollars for him
for the Fourth. The character Of the
said * Y T." portrays itself clearly
when he shows no hesitancy in boldly
stating the falsehood that the fiddlers
played for nothing, Mr.. Evenson and
his partner Mr. Rum furnished excel
lent music and were richly compensa-
ted for their services. The general
opinion of the crowd was that they
had attended the dance par excell-
ence" of the season.
We might add that the next time
ss.X Y z" has machine to dispose of,
it would be good idea to have a dance
and rattle; and not be in such heated
pursuit of every auction, where one
has to make arrangements to buy the
first bidder at that! "A. B.C.
