MINING AT DISADVANTAGE.

At an elevation of 14.275 feet above the sea level the mining distric. Of Cerro de Pasco, in Peru. Is located. Here Is, indeed. mining above the clouds, or, more correctly, right in their Mi6st The silver mines of Cerro de Pasco once produced enor- nous quantities of silver from some of the richest silver ores the world has ever seen, so history tells us. It has been q couple of hundreds of years ago since the mineral deposits of this place were discovered, and as there are no positive statistics of metal production, we are left only -to surmise of the districts output. One estimate is that at least S150, ,O0o, DOC in silver has been extracted. whie another places the amount at double that great sum. However, ft is an a5- gured fact that Cerro de Pasco has pro duced vast quantities of the white metal. and that there still exists rich deposits is most certain. An Ameri- can company has gone to vast expense in purchasing mines and building me,allurgical works at Cerro de Pas co. and the reduction of ore will soon begin. The men behind the enter prise are thoroughly acquainted wish mining conditions as practiced in the United States. The best of A1neri- can mining and metallurgical talent was secured in the preliminary opera. tions, and in the workings of the mine and reduction plant there will be Americans of known ability. The Ienterprise of this company is the Iuore forcioly Illustrated when the climate of CerTo de Pasco is taken into consideration. Being located a: | the tremendous elevation, and. with one exception, the highest place in the world where mining is carried on ! naturally calls for an abominable ! climate. And it is aSsuredly supplied with what is probably among thu worst climates known to human be ings. The winter opens sharply 1T October and continues well into tho | following July, when an imitation summer of a couple of months makes its appearance. In winter there are almost continuous storms of snow
 hail and sleet, and accompanying these storms there is usually a frigld
 camp mist. being due to the fact that the place is right in the clouds. The summer. if there be one. has but fe% clear days; rain hail and sleet are fire
 qFent and continuation of the mist sDomination. Despite these almost prohibitive conditions our capitalists put a million or more dollars of theil money into Cerro de Pasco mines
 To those who will have the opera
 tion of the plant there will be a coin
 plete isolation, intensified by an ex ecrable climate The mining and metallurgical profession contains many heroes.-Mining Worlc.

SPEED OF A RATTLESNAKE.
There Are But Few Things Swifter
in Motion Than It's Head
in Action.

In this wide world there are several
things that are swifter than a rattle
snake, but they can probably be count
ed on the fingers of one hand, writes
A. W. Rolker, in Parsons Magazine.
One of these things is bullet; where
by hangs the explanation why it is easy
to shoot the head off rattler, although
a marksman finds it difficult to place
bullet along the fat, seven-foot line be-
tween the neck Of the reptile and the tip
of It's tail.
1t has long been regarded as curl
GUS coincidence that even the man not
famed for accuracy has had no trouble
in blowing the head off diamond back
In the diamond back country only one
explanation is offered for this-it is the
snake and not the man that does the
aiming.
At close quarters, the instant the muz-
zle of a six-shooter is thrust toward
rattlesnake, the infallible eye catches
the range and in the fraction of twin
kle the deadly head has aligned itself.
AS the gun roars and darts its tongue
of flame, the head of the creature is torn
off clean as If severed with a knife and
the viper lies wrlthing. emitting a de-
FAINT rattle eveneas its grim, relentless
heart ceases its beat.

MUSIC.

It's the "oompah. o0mpah. oompah." OF
the music
That a bands a-playin' somewhere down
the street
That's a-doin' ragtime stunts along my
heartstrings.
That's a-pullin' an a-haulin' at my feet;
I'd like to just head-up an follow after.
A-takin Of their dust an steppin hgih.
An never look to this way nor to that way
At all the folks a-watchin' US go by.
It's the "oompah, oompah. oompah," OF
the music,
The dyin flags an blarin' Of the band,
That makes my mind go "oompah' oompan'
oompahv'
That keeps my feet a-jiggin' where I
stand;
That makes my mind 10 swiftly barking
backward
To grindorgans and 10 bands USED ~
know;
Back to a village street they used to play
in;
It's the "OOmpah. OOmpah. Oompah'" OF
the music
That makes me prick my ears an lift my
feet;
It's the lifting, lifting rapture Of the music
That takes me back to other times as
sweet;
I hope that when I'm called to go UP
yonder,
And the garment Of my soul. this worth
less clay,
Is bound for its last resting place. the

NEGRO EXcELs IN SCIENCE
Trained by Noted Educator Colored
Baltimorean Becomes Val
liable Assistant.

John w. Widgeon, scientist, is prob
ably the most interesting negro in Balti-
more. He holds position at the Mary
land academy of sciences directly under
the eye of DR.. Philip R. Uhler, which
gives him a place Of distinction among
his race. He has accomplished, says a
recent report a wonderful amount Of
work of a scientific nature without any
other training than that given him by
DR.. Uhler, whose protoge he has been
for many years, and he is engaged at
present upon the arrangement Of a col
lection of coral which he gathered last
summer in and near Jamaica which Is
said to be the best in that part Of the
country.
Widgeon's life has been such an in
teresting one that at the suggestion of
Dr. Uhler he has begun to write out
the whole of it. He is the only negro
in Maryland who has seriously attracted
the attention of scientific men,
and what he is doing now bids fair to
make him even more widely known than
before.
Widgeon was born of slave parents on
the eastern shore of Virginia in 1850.
After the civil war he went to fillmore
and got a position In the establish
ment of Kuhn & Cummings, photog-
raphers where he learned a great deal
about photography. Their he went to
work for Sharp & Dohme where he re-
NAMED 16 years. During his connec-
ton with this firm he learned lot of
chemistry, for he was employed in the
laboratory ten years. DR.. Uhler gave
him a position as helper on one OF
his scientific corps after he left the
drug firm, and he showed such marked
ability In this line of field work thai
it was not long before he was sent out
on expeditions by himself to gather geo.
logical specimens for collections or for
study in the laboratory. He has been
engaged upon this sort of work for 18
years, and in that time he has got to-
gether a valuable collection of fossils
rocks, minerals, Indian relics and birds
and snakes, all Of which are on exhibit
ton at the Maryland academy Of SCI
ences.
The coral collection Is excellent
Widgeon made two trips to Jamaica to
get It, He did all the work himself. He
stripped and dived for the specimens he
wanted, not botherlng with the para
phernalia Of regulation scientists and
divers.
DR.. Uhler say that he would not dis
pense with the services Of his colored
helper for those of highly trained SCI
entif1c man, because Widgeon, being a
negro, can and is willing to do certain
kinds of work which white man would
not do.
His endurance and patience" con-
tinued DR.. Uhler, "are unlimited, 1t
seems to me, and his Indian blood, of
which he has considerable, his grand
mother having been full-blooded, gives
him the characteristic trait of wood and
field craft. He is invaluable to me and
the work he does Is as complete and
thorough as l could hardly get under
other circumstances"

CHECK ON A CLAM SHELL.
Most Unusual Form of Order Hon.
ored by Bank at Allan
tic City.

The clam shell which was converted
into bankable currency has disappeared
from the Marine Trust company's bank
In Atlantic City, where the unique order
was cashed recently, and the officials Of
the institution are busy looking for the
man who slipped it in his pocket, says
the Philadelphia Inspector The clam
check was properly Cancelled as soon as
it had been paid, and also had the name
of Leon Alger, who received the money,
written on the back as showing that he
had been in receipt of the money, but the
bank is required to return the check to
its maker as voucher, and therefore a
close hunt is being made.
Many of the customers Of the bank re-
quested to see the novelty as soon as
they heard of its presentation, and it was
placed on exhibition on the counter.
Saturday afternoon somebody carried it
off, probably for souvenir.
The check is rated as the most novel
form of order of payment ever presented
at a bank, although checks have been
made out on shingles, blocks Of wood
and in other forms. The shell used was
that of a common clam, such as are
found on the beach by hundreds.

steel. A fresh advance in projectiles
was met by various hardening pro-
cesses applied to the face of the steel
plate. A splinter of Krupp hardened
steel, 1t is said, will scratch glass like
a diamond This intensely strong re-
sistive had the effect of elmer throw
ing off the projectiles when they
struck at an angle or Of breaking them
plate. The makers of projectiles re-
sponded by fitting the points of their
missiles with softer caps Of mild
steel, SO that they should bite on the
plates instead of slipping off when
striking at an angle.
"All modern projectiles are fired
from rifled guns and are cylindrical in
shape, with conical heads. To keep
them point first and to correct devia-
ton from the course they are made to
revolve on their own axis while trav-
cling. This is the purpose of the
rifing Of the guns with spiral grooves.
The projectiIe is made to follow the
grooves by having a driving band Of
copper on the shell, which is rather
larger In diameter than the pore of the
gun This band is forced into the
grooves by the explosion Of the
charge. compelling the projectile to
follow the grooves. The latest Amer
lean invention is to fit the projectile
with ball bearings to avoid friction
and damage to the grooves and inner
tube of the gun. II practicable this
should enable an even higher velocity,
and thus a longer range, to be OBJ
tanned from guns.
"Armor- piercing shot or shell goes
through a special method of manufac-
ture. It Is made of the very best steel,
sometimes alleged to give additional
strength. 1t is cast or forged to a
size very slightly larger than its in
tended dimensions. A groove is
turned round 1t to hold the driving
band that takes the rifling and the shot
or she'll is then hardened by heating
the head OF 1t till red-hot and cooling
It suddenly In water or oil. The scale
produced by this process is ground off
the shell. the driving band is pressed
into its groove by hydraulic power and
turned down to its proper size, and the
projectile is ready"

GERMANS GOOD FIGHTERS.
Although Possessed of Qualities OF
Best Warriors the Teutons
Have Little to Do.

The Germans are good fighters, but
have not enough to do, says Herbert
Howe Bancroft, in Success. So they
sail around the world and fire off their
guns at mud forts, while the good kaiser
pats them on the back with one hand,
and with the other placates the other
great powers-for more to be feared
than armies is the worlds enlightened
opinion. The German emperor, how
ever is not to be taken too seriously;
he may not be so unwise as he sometimes
seems. even though his people do not
like to have him out alone far from
home. Berlin will be careful how Ger
many goes to war with a nation strong
enough to give the kaiser the drubbing
he is aching for; careful, also, not to
ignore that power of powers, greater
than any world power, or any combina-
ton of Germanic and Romantic forces,
the worlds sentiment as to what is
lust and fitting between men and ma
tions. 1t was this greatest of powers
that stopped the fire of the German gun
boats on the Venezuelan forts, and sent
apologies to Paris and London and
Washington, whence emanated disap-
proval of such proceedings.

AIRsHIP PROVING GROUND.
Preparations for New Branch of Army
Service Located in the
Northwest.

Omaha barracks, near Omaha, Neb., Is
10 be converted into the aeronautic prov
ing ground of the army. A modern war
balloon train will be installed there by
Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer.
Experiments with air ships and dirigible
balloons will be undertaken at the new
post, reports the Brooklyn Eagle. A
permanent plant for making and COM
pressing hydrogen gas will be an inter-
esting adjunct. During the last few
years the signal corps has been unable
to do any balloon work, partly because
of impossibility to obtain this gas in
America. Repeated application to scores
of manufacturers who formerly fur
nished it as by-produet have been fu-
tile, although compressed hydrogen gas
is absolutely necessary for rapid and
successful aeronautical work with wal
balloons.
An automobile will be part Of the new
balloon train, if experiments now pro-
crossing under Gen. Greely's direction
are brought to a successful issue. While
automobiles seem to be unsuited for
general army transportation in the field,
the recent tests by the signal corps have
demonstrated the practicability and ad-
visibility of adopting self-propelled We
hicles for special military purposes-not
only in balloons, but telegraph trains.
Recent experiments in foreign armies
confirm the results.
All great nations have equipped their
armies with captive balloon trains. The
individual processes of manipulating
these are strictly guarded as military Sc
crets. Of course, ability to discover the
movements and position Of the enemy
is an absolute necessity Of modern war.
This can be accurately accomplished by
an operator in balloon $500 or 5000
feet above the earth. He Gan scan the
country round with good telescope and
telephone at once to his army whatever
he may see. The value of this observa-
ton work has been proved already in
the Russo-Japanese war. Experiments
during that conflict In the use Of cameras
in war balloons for the purpose Of fur
nishing views of the enemys camps and
Notifications have not been so success
full At the height at which such pic
lures have had to be made it has proved
difficult to distinguish Russians from

WHERE CIGARS ARE MADE.
Pennsylvania Leads-Twice as Many
Rolled in New Jersey as
in Florida.

For many years the competition be-
tween imported Havana cigars and hand
made Key West cigars has been going
on actively with a general belief proba-
bly, that Key West was an important
source of supply of cigars. says the New
York Sun.
Uncle Sam, who is lynx-eyed collect
or of revenue from cigar factories. takes
account in a year of 70,OO0,O 600, 900 cigars,
that being the number Of domestic cigars
smoked in a year. The number import
ed from Cuba, the Philippines and other
places of supply is relatively insigniti-
cant.
Of this total the number Of Key West
cigars-including with Key West the
whole state of Florida Of which Key
West, through its proximity to Havana
and its large number of Cuban cigar
makers, is the chief producing points
250 900 900. In other words, one-twenty-
eighth of the total number of cigars
made in the United States and smoked
here are Key West or Florida made and
that number only
The great cigar making state Of the
country, Notwithstanding the ignobie
repute in many quarters of Pittsburg
stCgies, is Pennsylvania. which manu-
features in a year nearly 100000, 600
cigars. New York makes 1,500000,00
In a year, and Ohio, never very far be-
hind in profitable and productive enter
prises, 75O,OOO,00O.
The other states Of the country are
practically trailers to these, with the ex-
ception Of Virginia, which manufactures
in a year SO. 100000 cigars ard is, in fact,
the only enc Of the big tobacco producing
states which makes cigars in large num-
bers. About cre-half Of the product Of
Virginia factories is In the fern Of che

Kentucky, which furnishes an enor-
NOUS amount of tobacco, makes few CT

ARMoR PLATE AND SHELLS
Makers of Plates and Guns Constantly
Striving to Guido One
Another.

"a constant struggle is always going
on between the firms that make armor
plates and those that make guns and
projectiles, though these firms are
often rival departments of the same
great establishment" writes Capt. y.
G. Jackson, the English writer and ex-
plorer. "The old armor plates of
wrought iron could keep out shells Of
a diameter equal TO their own thick
ness, except at short ranges. The
Palliser shot, however, with hardened
point, soon disqualified iron plates.
Then a steel face was welded to a
wrought-iron back. This was beaten
and then plates were made wholly Of
