Ie Hulchol family history. His ark asted on ore Of the mountain tops of
 antral Mexico. and the flood was ot merely . paltry 40 days go-as-you- lease. 1t lasted five yearrs. They do nings thoroughly. these sayages.
 h Hermit People.
 It is really very curious. that No h's ark legend of the Hulchols. For ley are hermit people. They have ;ept themselves to themselves. Mir. Lumholtz believes that ne is the first white man, certainly the first scientist to penetrate and remain in their ter ritory. There arc some 1000 of them, and they live in an almost in accessible canyon or narrow defile in the Sierra Madras mountains in the state of Jalisco They are hemmed in by rugged and precipitous cliffs, whose walls tower up from 5000 to 10000 feet in the air. They lead an isolated and primitive life. Their present pehef and customs are those of their ancestors for centuries, long before Cortez came to Mexico. And yet they have a distinctly recogniz- able Noah's ark tradition. and science is interested in speculation as to where they got it.
 MT. LumholtZ has brought home with him an exact replica of the origi- nal ark which the Hulchol's still point out resting OF one of their mountain tops. The replica was made out of q log of wood which was hollowed cut. Two pieces of carved wood slued on the top of the tip are intend cd to represent deer horns. whose pur- pose was to entangie the ark in the bushes when the water subsided and thus hold it fast.
 The sides of the ark are decorated with designs which are intended to represent water in effect. The wood en images on each side represent a man and dog, the ancestors of the Hulchols who were saved from their 6eluge and the five grains of each Of the seven coiors of corn which wers taken inside.

 Schwab Gave Up Nothing.
 in tnIs deal Mir. Schwab parted with lothing. In the sale of the other
 onstituent companies. the real and personal property, as well as thei' rapital stock, were transferred to the United States ShipbuilGing company " the necessary deeds. bills of sale and assignments. But in the case of Bethlehem. MT. Schwab permitted to he given up only it's capital stock. and this he did in such manner as to place il beyond the control of the Ship building company.
 If interests friendly to the Unite1 States Shipbuildine company had con trolled this stock. it would have been able to reach the earnings of the Beth lehem Steel company through n friendly board of directors. but in tie S10.000 .000 mortgage it was providru that the trustee should dnS'ona Q three of such directors and the Unit d States Shipbuilding company should designate four. As Mir. Schwab con- 'trolled the Limited States Shipbuild- ing company, by reason of his afore- said majority of stock. and as the trustee was of his own selection the United States Shipbuilding company was absolutely at the mercy of Mr Schwab. His advisers, however, Tn evident fear that something had been overlooked, caused the United States Shipbuilding company to execute 8 contract wherein it agreed and guar arteed that so long as any part of the $10.000000 issue of bonds above -e ferred to should be outstanding and unpaid. the Bethlehem company should pay dividends on it's entire out standing capital stock at the rate of not less than 6 per cent per aunur1 and for the purpose of making such payments the Shipbuilding company agreed that the Bethlehem company should earn, over and above it's ODeI ating expenses and fixed charges (in cluding dnterest on it's bonds an taxes). and over and above the worH ing capital Of s4.000 GOO therein pro vided for. a sum sufficient to make such annual dividend disbursements; and. in the event of the failure of tho Bethlehem company earning suficien! to pay such dividend at the rate Of re- cent. the United States Ship building company was to pay to the Bethlehem company. on demand. a sum sufficient to make such annual dividend disbursements. The Shipbnilding comnanv further agreed to sunniv the Bethlehem com panv with all such orders contracts work and earning canacitv as should he necessary to enable it to earn and pay the arnral dividends above men toned. Was ever such another agreement. so anrarertlv harmless vet SO ruirous. conceived by the mind of man? On it's face it was simply an agreement to the effect that if sufh cient earnings were not made by the Bethlehem to ay a dividend of 6 peI cent on it's capital stock. the United States Shinhuilding company would advance such sum.

 Seldom, if ever before. in the histo- ry of the federation has one of it's conventions attracted such wide spread attention as will center in the proceedings of the coming week. For the fist time in nearly a decade there promises to be spirited contest for the presidency.

him the hearty support of the party, he could be elected easier than any other man in the nation. I think Grover Cleve- land the greatest living American, but l do not believe the friends of MT. Bryan would enter into a race with him as their leader with good heart, Next to Mr Cleveland, I think Senator German the best man for us to nominate. He is good, sound, conservative Democrat an astute politician, and the compliment paid him by the Democratic leaders in the United States Senate in selecting him as their leader as soon as he returned to the Senate, demonstrates to my mind his recognized ability and superior fitness for a leader. The main issues in the next campaign will be tariff reform and the trusts, and no man in the party has been more consistent along these lines and in his advocacy of tariff reform than Mir German He does not want free trade, but we must have sufficient reform and reduction on raw material to control the trusts I heartily favor the nomina- tion of Mir. German
 Congressman Thompson will tomorrow deliver an address before the Camp Hill Industrial School.

New York Special.
 Rays of light emanating from the hu- man body and visible to the eyes of some of the lower animals form the interesting scientific discovery announced as having been made by accident by Prof. A. w. Goodspeed of the Randall Morgan labora- tory of physics of the University of Pennsylvania. Divested of its technical terms. the discovery means that the rays of light shed from a living human body may have sufficient intensity. although invisible to the human eye, to produce a picture on plate properly sensitized and in a room pitch dark.
 The discovery was made while X-ray photographs were being taken. While an iron tripod stand, with a ring-shaped top as a support for a photographic plate. was Icing used it was observed that the plate when exposed to the rays was af- fected by the iron ring. Puzzled at this seeming departure from the rules. the Qperator attempted to discover the cause. dn so doing one of his assistants placed his hand below the plate. The result was an important radiogram of the bones of the human hand. like those obtained from the Roentgen rays when experimentation in that line was in it's first stages.
 It was so entirely new that Professor Goodspeed was perplexed He tried again and again. Every time human hand was placed within the proper focus the same amazing phenomena followed. The expert- ments were continued for three months. and the conclusion of Professor Goodspeed was not announced until he had satisfied himself beyond all question of the cor rectness of his results.

The coppersmiths in the Alabama Great Southern Railroad shops here are out on strike. the company refusing to grant demands for an increase in wages. The coppersmiths in these shops asked for the same increase as did the same class of labor in the Southern Railway shops. The latter have been out on strike for several weeks. The strike at the Ala hama Great Southern shops began Mon- day afternoon and contrary to assertions, everything is not running smoothly in that institution. While less than a dozen men are interested by the strike, the en- tire shops are more or less affected.
