PRIMITIVE PUMPS.

The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance Of
and is generally believed to be that Of
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
is also attributed to this people. but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof. seen every
where along the banks of the Nile. an
invention SO simple ana so well adapt
ed to their needs that it remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China. an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is
in such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession of me-.
Where irrigation Is conducted on a lar
ger scale the Chain pump is made pro-
po%rtionately lau,ger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel. and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking a buff
falo or other animal to a suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
lions of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects We're produced
calculated to astonish ignorant wor-
slippers. were practiced by the priests
of Egypt. Greece and Rome. but their
knowledge seems never to have been
turned into any channel of secular use
fuiness.

A Resel yatlon Revival.

Oacoma Argus: Up at Fort Pierre
a revival meeting was being held a
few days since. The services had
gotten we'll under way just as two
cowboys came riding into town. and,
hearing the singing stopped to in-
vestigate. Being fond of musicstlley
threw the reins over their horses
heads and went into the church.,
Sitting on the back seat. Neither
had ever been to church before
After awhile the evangelist began
calling for people to stand up. lis
there not one here tonight who will
stand up for Jesus2h asked be, and
waited. Then. the congregation
sang another verse and the exhorta-
tion was repeated. Still no re-
Spouse. Another verse and another
invitation with like result. The
evangelist urged and the congrega-
ton sat still. Then a look and q
nod between the boys with the
leather snaps; a Jingle Of spurs and
the two cowboys were on their feet.
Placing one booted foot upon the
chair before him the spokesman be-
gan: "We,re strangers here, mis-
ter, and don't know anybody, but
we're game and we'll always stand
up for any man who has as few
friends as MI. Jesus seems to have
in this bunch. So wade right into
them, mister, and pard and NELL
stand at your back 1t is needless
to say that the remainder of the
meeting was a success.

Ihe above contract WIS adopted by
a unanimous vote Of the meeting.
In all fairness and justice in a COM
pact between men, how the repre-
sentatiyes Of Huron and Redfeld can
go before the people Of this state and
now assume to say that they are not
bound to support Mitchell is more
than we can understand. By their
very action in attempting to secure
a resuDmission of the question for
removal of the capital they admit
that Pierre is not the proper loca.
tion; then what other attitude can
they honestly sustain but to support
Mitchell? They were not in SYM
pathy with Pierre before, and why
should they attempt to defeat Mitch.
ell now? No other construction can
be placed on the statement Of MI.
Longstaff and the concurrence Of it
by Redfeld. They ought to be as
sincere in their removal ideas today
as they were last month.
In the meeting at Huron Mr.. Long
staff, with other residents Of that
town was particularly anxious that.
a compact be formed which would tie
binding on all the towns until after
election day. The Huron contingent
argued the proposition very strongly
and were very anxious for the COM
pact that was finally adopted as above.
Hence, Huron's opposition at this
time is not at all consistent with her
former attitude.
In the first point the resublnission
question was the paramount issue
with the triumvirate. The effort
was to get that measure through the
legislature. The second compact was
for the purpose Of making removal
practically sure thing by having
the three towns pull together in order
that the capital could be better To-
Gated. The opportunity is at hand.
Would Huron and Redfeld have it
understood that inasmcuh us they
could not win out in the legislature
as the candidate against Pierre they
are ssdisgruntled. and do. not propose
to see any other town secure the
capital? Mitchell is not sore over
the matter in the least, but for the
benefit of the people of the state it
is desired to place the matter in its
proper light, and demonstrate that
the compact does exist and that
Huron and Redfeld are in honor
bound to stand by the compact until
tie election in November, 1904.

Signed:

In The committee meeting it was
then discussed that these towns
ought to stand for the successful
candidate through to the day of
election. The point taken in the
presentation Of the matter was that
it was the desire to place the capital
within easy reach of the people, and
that any one OF these towNs was
much more preferable than Pierre.
1t simply depended On the efforts Of
each town which could be successful
over the other. With this idea in
view another compact was drawn up,
and it was freely understood that
the import Of the contract was to
bind the towns together in an alliance
which would mean that if resubmis-
sion was successful then there would
be a concentrated effort to locate the
capital at the town that was success
full in the legislature. Huron and
Redtield representatives did not show
the least ~backwardness about enter
ing into the compact, for they each
believed, as did Mitchell, that they
would be successful in being named
as the candidate against Pierre.
The compact which, binds the
three towns to support one another
through the capital campaign is pre-
sented below in it's entirety, signed
by the chairman Of each capital con-
mittee:

dor at London, Count Wolff -Metternich,
in dispatch to his government referring
to British public opinion on the Vene-
zuelan situation and the British cabinets
attitude in consequence thereof, says the
government is conscious of lack OF popu-

many. especially of the disapproval of the
middle classes. Premier Balfour aud
Foreign Minister Lansdowne have the sup
port of the other members of the cabinet
i'll their steadfast determination to carry

ambassador ventures the opinion that
Lord lansdownes position is weakened
through loss of public support and that
the cabinet is in a mood to accept almost
any way out of the Vene kuelan eptangle-
ment that promises the ultimate payment
of the claims.
Ambassador Wolff Metternich also says
a very genuine dislike exists generally in
Great Britain to the governments part

been conveyed to London. Berlin and
