How to Lift n Car window.

One of the cars that was run down
town on a Sixth avenue elevated train
Wednesday morning had apparently
just escaped from the painters
brushes. Consequently all of the VIM
dows stuck, and the passengers who
had lodged the heat of the subway
were not so sure that they had gained
anything.
Women and men tried in vain to lift
one or two of the windows, but failed.
The guards did not seem to care much
what happened. At One Hundred and
Fourth street tall man with a sharp
eye got into the car.
He, too, had jug at a window. 1t
stuck, but that didn't stop him. He
took out his handkerchief, rolled it up
until it looked like a rope, and then
looped it around one of the window
catches. One tug, and the window
went up as if it had never meant to
stick.
Learned that on the road out West"
he said. "If you use your handker.
chief as a tackle the window has to
come open or the catch come right out
of the frame. You can put every mus
Gle in your back into the job"
Half of the passengers tried the plan
with unvarying success. - New York

STEALING LAND FROM
THE GOVERNMENT.
A Law Known as the Forest.Re.
serve Act Plays an Important Part
in These Gigantic Frauds.

A law that plays an important part
IN the land frauds is known as the
forest reserve act, by which there may
bn set aside by Presidential prOclama-
tlon public lands in the States and Ter
ritories to be preserved as forests. The
usual method of creating forest re-
serve from the school land of State
Is to grant to the State other public
land in lieu of that withdrawn. In the
event that the State has already issued
patents TO private individuals for this
land, or any part Of 1t, the Govern
ment issues scrip" to such holders
that is. it allows them to take up other
lands owned by the United States, in
place of these State school lands with
drawn for the forest reserve. Here Is
where the land-grabbers found their
easiest way to defraud the Govern
ment.
The "school" lands are frequently
worthless. In Oregon and California,
for example, where the greater part
Of this particular method Of land-grab-
bing was carried on, many Of the lands
were located in the mountainous re-
gions of the States. On the other
hand, the lands given in exchange by
the Government are the choicest in the
country. The Government lands re-
ceived in exchange were worth from
So to S25 an acre, sometimes more.
State law provides that after an appll-
cation for purchase of school lands
has been legally filed the applicant
may assign the land to whomsoever
he pleases. In this way hundreds Of
thousands Of acres of school lands were
assigned to the men who had planned
the wholesale raids on the public do
main.-Harper's Weekly.

Paris.-So great was the impression
which a fascinating Spanish dancer
made on lion, while she was paying
a visit to a music hall where it was
performing, that the animal, after con-
templating her for some time, got on
its legs, moved off in her direction,
and putting its paws through the bars
OF its cage, took hold of her head and
patted her face affectiOnately. Unfor-
tunately, Samson had reckOned with.

skin of the pretty dancer, inflicting
scars, the traces of which will, in all
probability, never disappear. This re-
suit of what would otherwise have

attractiveness Of the graceful Spaniard
she has taken legal action against the
proprietor of the place of entertain
ment, putting in a claim for damages

Paris courts, but as the defendant is

The Gmpowder Wizard Of Japan.

American 'moshlite," French "meli

DIR. Shimose resolved one day to de.
vote himself entirely to the production
of n new powder which should be as
perfect as it was humanity possible to
make It. He would, he said to him.
self, devote years to the work, if nee.

in Sasebo, the great naval arsenal Of

years" in producing the terrible eXplo.
sive which now bears his name. He is
an exceedingly modest little man, this
war chemist of Japan; and not from
himself, but from high Government of.
ficials, was l able to learn that he was
in the habit of spending entire days
and nights in his laboratory, working
year after year, upon his powder.
On one occasion he was nearly blind
ed for life by premature explosion
during one of his experiments. Very
frequently his hands and fingers were
dreadfully burned; but nothing ever
seemed to turn him from his purpose,
and at length, when the now famous
"shimose powder"was perfect chem.
ical compound he took it modestly 10
his Government, with results now
known TO all the world.

these and other conditions was to burn
feebly like tar, and give off siclly
smoke. But only use the simple little
chemical Illuminating device which its
inventor has provided for it and then,
indeed, you will see the force which
has annihilated the power of imperial
Russia.
"Dr. ShimOse once sprinkled some Of
his powder in circle on a fiat iron
surface two inches thick. and when ho
caused it to explode the mere powder

iron, exactly the same size rs the ring

City VS.. Country Eyes.

In one of his delightful books DR..
Jessopp remarks that whereas coun-
try people look up, Londoners look
down. 1t is largely this habit that has
limited their observing powers; but
London has itself to blame. / take it
that one can observe well only by the
power of taking large views, and in
London this is impossible, even If one
would, partly from the circumscribing
effects of bricks and mortar, partly
from the dim light of London dis
tance, and partly from the need Of
avoiding collisions. Ones eyes uncon-
sciously acquire a habit of restricted
vision; our observation specializes,
like that of the little girl in Mrs. Mey-
'nells book who beguiled the tedium Of
her walks by collecting shopkeepers
named Jones. Perhaps that is the kind
of observation for which we in London
are best suited.-London Outlook.

"Alaska is not a bad place when you

the last seven years in one of the big
mining camps, at the Schlitz. 81 don't
know of any place where an ordinary
miner can do so well. Let him work a
summer and he has $3.50 in his pocket
at the summers close. He can invest
5000 in provisions and hibernate in
his cabin. At the end of the following
summer he has $3.50 more. Allowing
$50 for boots and clothing, he reaches
Seattle with $1,000 in his pocket. There
is no chance to spend money. The
weather in the winter prevents sleigh

anyway. Journeys into the country

here, as the air is dry. In February
the cold weather comes on again and
the mercury falls to about 20 below.

that time it moderates slowly until
summer comes, and in July it is 80
