Among the recent graduates at STAN

of him: "Cleve was known as one of the
most popular boys at Stanford. He was
President of the Glee Club, President of
the Tennis Club and one of the fore
most comedians in all the farces that
were given at the college. He took the

the club visited. He was one of the

Tax Skill of Hunter

and tearing of underbrush and by
the time you get your gun to your
face the deer will be somewhere over
in the next county.
They do not range high on the
mountain, and most hunters will tell
you that the best deer hunting is after
the first heavy snow in the fall, when
the deer come down into the higher
foothills to get the new grasses
brought out by the rains that usually
accompany these early SHOWS.
With the black tail, the least COM
mon deer Of this section, everything is
different. Look for him in the open
meadows of the mountains, where the
pines wall in little valleys all clothed
in tall grasses. There the smaller
and darker deer moves on velvet
hoofs noiselessly, and, seeing you,
vanishes silently or with low snort,
seeking rather to escape by stealth
than by speed. On the level and in
the open the black tail Is a swift
enough runner to try the aim OF any
riteman, but in the piney woods he
can be almost as silent as mountain
lion. The best way to hunt this deer
is to take him at his own game and
stalk him. Armed with light rifle,
for stalking black tail is an all-day
job of hard walking, the hunter slips
from tree to tree through the deer
country, watching every clump OF
brush, seeing every leaf that moves,
prepared at all times to swing the
rifle on a shadowy, half-seen form
slipping away through the dim re-
cesses of the woods.

Hohsiwoo the column of the 14th
United States infantry one evening
was overtaken by a Russian officer
q high rank in his three-horse buck
board, driven by his orderly. At the
time the rear battalion of the regi-
ment, temporarily commanded by my
SELF was entering defile, bordered on
each side by low, swampy ground, the
road Just being wide enough to &C.
commodate the column. | suddenly
heard a loud shout Watch out, cap
tain! Watch out!' but before | could
even turn my head | found my horse
on his knees, with the Russians
horses on top of us. After extrcating
ourselves, | found that the Russian,
seeing the narrow road before him
and not proposing to be delayed by
our column, had deliberately plunged
into us, regardless of consequences.
THE temporary check which he had
received by my being in the way
seemed to infuriate the officer and
with violent gesticulations he ordered
his orderly to drive on. Two enlisted
men nearest us held his horses heads.

FINE FOUNTAIN AT CHATSWORTH
Claimed to Be Without Rival in the
World.

World.
The most remarkable fountain in the
world is that at Chatsworth, the most
beautiful residence in England, as
Blenheim is the most imposing, the
largest and most astonishing. 1t was
named the Emperor Fountain in honor
of visit paid by the czar of Russia
to England about 1850. On the side Of
a hill behind the palace is a stone
temple, from which at will can be
turned on torrents Of water which fall
down in cascades upon the wide steps
made to receive them, and thence into
canals. These water works are copies
of those at Versailles. The fountain
consists of single jet that leaps from
the garden to a height Of 267 feet.
Doesn't that seem incredible? The
next highest fountain in the world was
at Wilhelmshohe, in Hesse Cassel,
with a jet rising 100 feet The Yer
sailles fountain is only ninety feet
high, that at Peterhoff in Russia 12O
feet, and that at St. Cloud 100 feet.

means an idea new in mechanics.
Twenty-seven hundred years ago, in
the little nation of the Chaldees, adj
joining Armenia, the water turbine
was known, and built, and used in
milling. 1t was then called the shell
wheel" The wheel was used in a
horizontal position, no effort being
made to secure the greatest value OF
the water pressure. The wheel was
connected to a vertical shaft which
turned the stone and ground the grain
into a coarse flour.
Near the city of Van, believed to
have been built 1000 years B. c., there
still remain canals in good state
of preservation. One of them, sixty
miles long, is now used for irrigation
and power. At one time, centuries
agone, there were forty mills on this
canal, and to-day the remains OF these
ancient institutions may be seen.
Flour mills, driven by these simple
turbines, of the same type as was used
there 2,70O years ago, are still in
operation.
The Deutcher Mueller, Berlin, says:
"These turbines were brought to the
notice of the modern world and quite
generally adopted in Europe from 1850
to 1880. These Chaldees are not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Chaldeans Of
Messopotamia."

Haunting the depths of the wood
lands in the vicinity of the springs in
the higher mountains, there are many
of the famous family of Virginia deer,
the white tail-the most hunted, the
most plentiful, and yet seldom
brought into camp. Lucky the sports
man who has been able to bring down
three of these fine deer in all his
hunting experience.
Go into the nearby mountains, and
in the canon bottoms, you will SEQ
countless tracks of his majesty the
Virginia deer, the white tall of east
ern states, and called just deer in
southern California. But to see these
tracks does not by any means assure
the hunter a shot at one of these
magnificent animals, for not only Is
the white tail the largest of the true
deer of North America, but he also
has reputation as the best hider OF
all game animals. BY nature fond OF
thick cover, he usually spends most
of the time in the depths of some
well-wooded canon-a bushy river
bottom full of briers and under
growth is an ideal spot to look for
him, and an ideal spot to miss run
ming shot as we'll. And that is about
all the chance you will get at the
white tail, too, unless you can stalk
him-an almost impossible feat, by
the way. One of these deer will lie
securely hidden until the hunter,
watching the middle distance instead
of his feet, almost falls over him.
Then he will get up with "who-uf"

MayoraI Privilege.

A curious privilege attaches to the
Office of mayor of Limerick. From
time immemorial the mayor has
claimed the right to quarter of a
ton of coal out of every cargo import
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trib-
ute, and a test case was taken to the
local quarter sessions. The magis-
trates decided in favor of the mayor.
That official receives over 100 tons Of
coal from this source every year and
distributes it among the poor Of the
town, although there is no legal rea-
son why he should not use it for his
own private purposes.

SURGERY ON A CHIMNEY.
American Engineer Attained Fame for
Unique Feat.

Joseph H. Gerhard recently re-
ceived from Egypt a letter asking
him what method he used in straight
ering the immense chimney of the
Narragansett Brewing company last
fall. Mr.. Gerhard is the Providence
engineer who was called in to restore
the leaning chimney to plumb. The
Egyptian government building inspec-
tor wrote that a tower under con-
struction in Cairo was settling IN
much the same way and he wanted
to know how to save it.
The engineer explained that he had
constructed huge steel levers, with
concrete foundations, on one side Of
the chimney and had cut away num-
Der of bricks on the other side. Then
he drove kerosene-soaked wooden
wedges into the opening made by re-
moving the bricks and set them af1re.
While the wedges were burning the
levers forced the chimney back to it's
original upright position, and when it
had reached absolute plumb the fire
was extinguished and the cavity was
filed with concrete.

had manufactured at the local plant
of the American Locomotive WORKS
one of the finest steam fire engines
ever constructed. 1t is a machine OF

nous Amoskeag pattern. The ordinary
cost of a steamer of this type IS
$4,000, but this luxuriously equipped
and lavishly ornamented piece OF ap-
paratus is so rich in costly embellish-
ments that a check for about $9,GOO
will be necessary to settle for It, EX-
pense, however, was not matter to
be long considered by the company
which ordered the machine. Three
members of the company are said to
have pledged $1,000 each toward de-
fraying the cost. 1t seems that the
company is determined to have every
thing about its quarters in keeping
with the character of the new ma
chine. A handsome and commodious
new engine house is now being erect
ed. in which will be stalled three mag
nificent, coal-black horses, to be pur-
chased regardless of price, so long
as they are perfectly matched and
not marred by single spot of white.

made movements with her mouth
when she wanted to drink. During
the seventeen years she suffered from

ailments had no effect on her sleep
