HOW 70 LOCATE SPRINGS.
hdians and Frontisrsmsn Learn From
9ions and Observations.

Indians and frontiersmen Learn From
.sisns and Observations.
There is undoubtedly practical
art of discovering springs. Indians
or frontiersmen can find WAGER in
the desert where sstenderfoot" can.
not. Mexicans and experienced pros
pectors can similarly find ore. These
arts consist mainly in the recogni-
ton Of superficial signs which es-
cape the ordinary observer.
It is not necessary that the opera
tor should consciously note these
signs separately and reason upon
them. No doubt he frequently does
50, though he may not give away
the secret of his method to others.
But in many instances he recognizes
by association and memory the pres
ence of group of indications, great
or small, which he has repeatedly
found to attend springs or ore de-
posits.
This skill, due to habit, is often
almost unerring for a given limited
district, but under new conditions
it breaks down. Old miners from
California or Australia have often
made in other regions the most fool
ish and hopeless attempts to find
gold, because they thought this or
that place Cooked just like" some
other place in which they had mined
successfully.
Apart from the magnetic miner
ais, there is no proof that ore depos-
its exhibit their presence and nature
by any attraction or other active
force. With regard to water, how
ever, there may be an action affect
ing the temperature and moisture of
the OVERLAPPING surface. Even here,
however, it seems more likely that
such effects are manifested visibly to
close observer rather than by di-
rect system. The favorite fields for
water OWNERS are regions in which
water is abundant, but not gathered
upon given horizons of impermeable
strata underlying porous rocks

Thurlow's Lost Temper.

Lord Thurlow, one Of the ablest
of English lord chancellors, was a
most uncomfortable man to be asso-
ciated with He never learned self
control, and his explosions Of tenn
per on the slightest provocation were
appalling.
On one occasion, however, one Of
his lordship's confreres, greatly dar-
ing, expressed an opinion of Thur
lows temper without violating cour-
tesy and with wit worthy Of Talley-
rand. Lord Thurlow came late to
an important cabinet meeting and
apologized for his hardness by say
ing that he had fracas with cab
man and lost his temper.
The colleague answered quietly:
'sLost your temper, my lord?
congratulate you heartily. | hope
you may never find it, for it was the
most villainous temper that | evel
knew"

A LOGICAL cADI.
As Wrong Had Been Done, Somebody
Had to Suffer.

Had to Suffer.
Did you ever hear Of the robber
who tried to enter a second story
window in Cairo and broke his leg?
Well, the robber went to the cadi
and complained about it. He said
the mans window was badly made
or he wouldn't have fallen out, and
so he wanted justice. the cadi said
that was reasonable, and he sum-
monedf 1.-the owner of the house. The
owner confessed the house was poor
ly built. but claimed that the car.
penter was to blame, not he. This
struck the cadi as sound logic, and
he sent for the carpenter. "The
charge is, alas, too true" said the
carpenter, 'sbut the masonry was at
fault, and l couldn't fit a good win
dow" So the cadi, impressed with
the reasonableness of the argument,
sent for the mason. The man plead
ed guilty, but explained that a
pretty girl in blue gown had pass
ed the building while he was at
work and that his attention had
been diverted from his duty. The
cadi thereupon demanded that the
girl be brought before him. s1t is
| true" she said, sthat | am pretty,
but that is no fault of mine. If my
gown attracted the mason the dyer
should be punished and not L.
"Quite true,0 said the cadi. "Send
for the dyer" The dyer was brought
to the bar and pleaded guilty.
That settled it. The cadi told
the robber to take the guilty wretch
to his house and hang him from the
aoorslll, ana the people rejolced
that justice had been done. But
pretty soon the crowd returned to
the cadi's court, complaining that
the dyer was too long to be proper
ly hanged from his doorsill. ooh,
WELL" said the cadi, who by that
time was getting tired of the bust
ness, 6 go and find short dyer and
hang him. Somebody's got to suf-
fer"

Miners May strike.

New York, July 2s.-Reeent de-
elines In the anthracite coal road
stocks have revived the rumors Of
pending labor troubles in the mining
districts, and there are many well.
informed persons who believe that an,
other great anthracite strike is i'm.
pending.
Presidents Of the coal carrying roads
ridieule the rumors and assert that
they feel there is little danger Of a
strike. The principal basis for their
belief rests upon the fact that the
agreement entered into after the mem
orable strike Of few years ago does
not expire until April l Of next year.
The union, II is stated, would not
ruthlessly break the agreement before
its expiration.
Despite these optimistic deelara.
tions, however, it is well known that
the labor union leaders have been
very active this season in the anthra.
cite districts stirring up the miners.
and creating enthusiasm for the labor
cause. Pienies and other public gath.
erings have been held at which the
cause OF the miners was discussed. In.
eidentally efforts have been made TO
have the members Of the union pay
their dues, and the delinquents have
been urged 70 pay their arrearages.
Those who profess to see in the aetiv.
ity Of the union lenders signs Of prep
arations for another anthracite strug.
gle maintain that a great contest win
occur next year

they thought the Japs were after them.
On arriving at Church street the run.

went up Church until they were lost
from view in a cloud Of dust. These

GERMANY RoARs WITH RAGE
Baltic Cruise Of British Fleet De
nounced as Insolence.

Berlin, July pa great outery is
being raised against the proposed
cruise Of the British channel feet in
the Baltic. Conservative newspapers
say that the act of the British admi.
rality in directing the Channel feet
TO cruise in the Baltic is on a par with
England's usual insolence, and that,
considering herself mistress Of the
seas, she intends to treat the Baltic as
an open sea, in which she can do any
thing she likes.
The press claims that the Baltic
must be regarded as being exclusively
under the control Of the countries
bordering on it, and, as Sweden, Den,
mark and Russia border II, they are to
have much to say in the matter. and,
therefore, owing 20 their friendliness
to Germany, she must be considered
the mistress Of the Baltic sea.
