An EXPERT Swordfish.

Hank Carruthers. of Block Island.
R. l.. an old-time fisherman, last year
caught young sword fish, not more
than two teet long, which had refused
to leave the dead body of its mother.
which ne had harpOoned after an ex-
citing fight. The young fish survived
the transportation to tidal pond be-
hind the Carruthers homestead and the
entrance to the pond was closed WITH
a net to prevent his escape. Since then
Mir. Carruthers has tanned the fish so
that it will feed from his hand, and the
neighbors had become so accustomed
to the sight that they did not notice II
any more. Last month a French gem
tleman, who is a we'll known fencing
teacher, NJ. Tierce. had been trainS
ing the fish furtively. He had made a
soft pad of leather, which he adjusted
on the tip Of his sword. like the button
on a foil. and the two gave an exhibit
ton bout of fencing which could not
be equalled for nicely of action and
correctness of dash in the Fencers'
Club. The fish apparently knows all
the rules of the game and carefully re-
frains from committing fouls. He cuts
and slashes swiftly, and several times
he caught NJ. Tierce unawares, says lne
New York Press, and nearly transfiXed
him. The Frenchman has offered Mr..
Carruthers large sum of money for
the fish which he wishes to exhibit

Iempsring Steel.

The tempering of steel with uniform
results is feat hardly to be achieved
by the most expert artisan. A German
inventor had devised process for ac-
eurately obtaining any desired degree
of hardness, the variations being effect
ed by changes in the liquid used. and
depending on the fact that graded re-
suits may be produced by the use of
milk in varying forms and dilutions=
that is, by fresh and skinned milk
sweet and sour whey. fresh and old
buttermilk and different mixtures with

WHY TIE HORSE SHES
Sensible Explanation of the Habits
OF Well-Kno,Hn Animals.

DIR. Louis Robinson, an English Zool-
ogist, has just given to the world an
account of the habits and mode of life
of certain animals, and the conclusion
Mt which he Seemb to arrive is that All
such phenomena may he explained ON
the ground of ataVaiSnn Thus he
claims that the horse OF our day de-
rives his swiftness and power of en-
durance from the fact that his ances-
tors in former days We're obliged to
flee from and Frequently to defend
themselves against their great enemies
the wolves. In like manner he
claims that the reason that the horse
SHES is because his ancestors We're
forced to he constantly on the alert
against hidden enemies and that the
reason that he rears and plunges is
because only by pursuing such actics
could his forcfathers shake Off wild
animals who had leapcd upon their
backs.
Sheep when frightened Immediately
rush of to the highest point they can
reach. The reason says DR.. Robinson
is because all sheep originally inhab-
tied mountainous districts. And this,
he claims, is also the reason why they
wear thick fleece of wool all the year
through, the summer temperature IN
mountainous districts being almost aa
cold as that of winter Finally, we are
assured that the reason sheep inVaria-
bly, follow Il leader is because their an
cestors were obliged to go in Indian

HEALTH PRoMLEM AT PANAMA
How American Officials Plan to Make
the Isthmus HabitabIe.

Col. William c. Gorgas, Medical
Corps, U. S. A, in Review of Reviews.
We shall have at Panama a compact
little territory of 500 square miles, I'M
der a government with ample author
ity, approaching the military in it's
powers and. literally supplied with
funds.
The canal strip will be practically
an Independent state, as far as santa
ton is concerned. To protect ourselves
from infectious diseases being intro
duced from the outside we shall have
quarantine establishments at Colon
and Panama similar to those at New
York City, where ships can be exam
ined, and, in case any infectious dis
ease is found, the sick can be isolated
and cared for.
The part of the sanitary organization
that will involve by far the greater
part of the expense will be the hospital
system for the care of the sick. With
the view to keeping in close touch
with malaria, yellow fever and other
infectious diseases, it will be our en-
deavor to get all the sick from the
whole population to come to the SAM
tary department for treatment. With
this object in view, we expect to equip

cur hospitals with the best modern ap-
planes of every kind and with the
most skillful personnel in the way Of
physicians and nurses. We hone in
this way to do away with the general
prejudice against hospital treatment
which exists everywhere among the
poor and ignorant.
Taking the towns of Colon and Pan
ANA, l do not think that it would be a
large estimate to say that when work
is in full swing, two or three years
from now, we shall have a population
on the strip of 100000 people. 1t is
not large estimate, particularly in
the tropics, to say that 10 per cent. of
this 100000 will be constantly sick
from one cause or another. If our eff
forts are crowned with success we
ought to be able to get half OF this 10
per cent. under hospital control. This
would give us a hospital population of
1000 to look after.
We hope that a year from now,
when our unacclimated population
comes, it will be to clean, uninfected
villages, with all the present native
population free from malarial infec-
ton, and that there will be left very
few malarial mosquitoes, and that
these few, not being able to bite any
human being previously infected with
malaria, will be harmless. This is not
an entirely theoretical scheme. In
Havana yellow fever was cared for in
just the way that we propose for ma
laria. The infected human being was
taken and placed under screening and
treated until he was free from infec-
ton, and thus no yellow-fever mos
quito was allowed to bite him during
the infected period and become herself
infected. At the same time wholesale
mosquito destruction was carried on.
At the end of about eight months of
this work it was found that the num-
Der of yellow-fever mosquitoes had
been greatly decreased, and that those
that were left could find no human be-
ing infected with yellow fever whereby
they, the yellow-fever mosquitoes,
might become infected and thus con-
yey it to other human beings. For the
past three years Havana has been free
from yellow fever. An unacclimated
man can go to Havana now, and
though he may probably be bitten a
good many times by yellow-fever mos
quitoes, these mosquitoes have had no
opportunity in the past three years of
biting a human being infected with
yellow fever, and therefore are them
selves entirely harmless. This condi-
ton we hope to bring about in the vii
lagos along the canal route by means
similar to those adopted at Havana.

OF Wide Interest.

an the gold reported to be buried, how.
ever, is not in the western part of the
territory, for, as the story goes, there
is 100000 in gold dust buried on the
farm of Joe Boulanger, in the Usage
nation, near Pawhuska.
This is supposed to have been buried
by a returning gold miner in the days
of the California fever. He was a
Missourian, and, having made fortune
undertook to guide party of gold
hunters back to the states. Near what
is now Wichita, Kan, he got into a
dispute with scout. The latter, who
knew of the wealth carried by the
party, contrived to obtain the assist
ance of band of warlike Pawnee In
dams. They followed the wagon train
and finally surrounded it, Goldie, the
Missourian, realized the danger and
took all the gold of the party upon
the pretense that he intended to bury
it at the edge of the timber. In the
gathering darkness he managed to pass
the Indians, and when the latter at.
tackled the party and massacred all the
members, Goldie was gone.
The scout discovered this the fol-
lowing morning, and Goldie's trail was
found and followed When he became
aware that he was followed he select
ed spot on what is now called Artil-
lery mountain, marked by large tree
peculiarly twisted, and there buried the
dust Proceeding a short distance, he
unsaddled his mule and continued his
journey on foot. So carefully did he
cover his trail this time, however, that
the Indians failed to find it before he
was out of their reach. He arrived
home safely and expected to return
and find the buried treasure, but was
taken i'll and died.
Upon his death he related to his
wife all the circumstances, and gave
her minute directions for discovering
the spot, but she knew of no one to
whom she might intrust her secret, and
having sufficient to keep her from
want, she waited until her son, then a
boy of six years, had reached man.
hood befores he told the story. In
1882 the first search for this treasure
was begun. The place had been
cleared off by Boulanger, civilized
Indian. When questioned by a mys-
FERROUS middle-aged man he we'll re-
membered the location of the peculiar
tree. The man dug near the spot
shown him, but finding nothing, told
Boulanger the story, and said that if
the money was ever found he would
like share. Since that time there
have been several attempts to find the
supposed wealth. Some have been in
secret and some have been open, but
nothing has ever come to light, so far
as known, Of Goldie's gold.

OKLAHOMA TREASURE.
Legends of Buried Gold in the South
west.

Legends of Buried Gold in the South
west.
Guthrie (Okl) Letter to the New
York Herald.-Oklahoma for so many
years the home of the outlaw and the
desperado, has her stories of buried
treasure which rival in magnitude the
tales of wealth buried along the At
lantic coast by Capt Kidd and other
ravagers of the Spanish main. Every
now and then men with modern blue
prints or well-thumbed maps appear
in an otherwise peaceful community
and by mysterious signs convey the
information that they have come to
wealth. One of the best of these
stories, which many credited, is that
dealing with the Tres Piedras gold.
How much there is supposed to have
been has long since been lost in OBJ
security, or it is legend handed down
by the Catholic priests in old Mexico.
1t is often told how these men have
kept the knowledge to themselves I'M
til by chance it was revealed to a
stranger, who, taking up the thread,
has followed it through and found the
burial place. The story is only
partly fanciful, for it is beyond ques-
ton that men have at various times
gone to Beaver county-the No Mans
Land of the early history-and there
sought the Castilians' wealth.
According to the legend, a Spanish
column in search of Eldorado traversed
the plains to the northeast of Mexico
At distance of every 10 or Is miles
they set guide posts of stone inscribed
with the letter V. When near what is
now Garrett, in Beaver county, it was
decided to bury the treasure, which is
supposed to have been enormous. The
remaining guide posts were so planted
at distance of half a mile apart that
the apex of each V pointed to spot in
the center of the circle. They con-
tinued their journey, but we're mas
sacred by band of Indians. Only one
was able to return to Mexico, where he
soon after died from exposure, before
he could do more than give the incom-
plete directions needed.
1t is related that an effort was made
to follow the trail, but it was lost near
Santa Fe and the search was given up.
Recently Michael Ryan, an Irishman,
who had lived his life among the Next
cans, was found digging in basin be-
tween Cimarron and Corrumpa rivers.
He admitted to the sheriff of the coun-
ty, who found him at his work, that he
had discovered the guide posts and
found the circular ring described in the
legend. What success he had is not

original race of Belgian mastiffs, held
its first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in

made mistake. The result proved to
be animals with weak headquarters
