HIC JACET.
Captain Bullock Gave Rings of Black
Hills Gold as Souvenirs.

MulS WOlV Ms SOUVENIRS
When President Roosevelt made his
campaign tour through South Dakota
in 1900 the party on his special train
included among others Captain Seth
Bullock of Deadwood and H. l. Cleve-
land, newspaper correspondent.
Aside from its national Importance,
the trip was a memorable one. and
when Captain Bullock returned home
he decided to send souvenirs of the
country to Mr.. Roosevelt and the
members of his party. So he ordered
rings made of Black Hills gold, with
the initials of his friends engraved
inside. Before they were ready to
send, Mr.. Cleveland had exhausted the
news features of the trip and COM
menced writing little stories of the
men and things connected with it.
Among the others he wrote a story
OF Captain Bullock.
He told of how the redoubtable can
tain, who had won his title with the
Rough Riders in the Spanish war, had
served as sheriff in the early days of
Deadwood and Montana, all of which
was true, and then he gave his we'll
trained Imagination full sway and told
OF the men the captain had killed, of
the road. agents and Indians whom
ne had sent to their quick reward, of
the CORY fights with desperadoes in
which he had come out all alone
and bloody-handed, and recounted
with deft and bloody touch long list
OF other desperate deeds usually
found only between saffron-hued COW
ers
Captain Bullock, in his pretty hill
side home in Deadwood, surrounded
by his wife and children, read with
wonder and establishment the amazing
story of his past. He is, as a matter
of fact, a quiet, law-abiding gentle
man. He carries on his conscience
the death of no man, red or white.
But 1t was very good story, and
no one appreciated it more than did
Captain Bullock, yet, because his wit
is as keen as Mr.. Cleveland's magma
ton, he could not resist the retalia-
ton that suggested itself to him.
He took the ring intended for Mr..
cleveland back to the jeweler and,
to the initials on the inside, H. L.
C., he had the engraver add a word.
When the little memento was sent
to the newspaper man it was accom-
panied by brief letter of explana-
tion.
my dear Mr.. Cleveland" the note
ran. Il am sending you little Black
Hills souvenir of our trip with Mr..
Roosevelt through South Dakota.

SOME TRAITS OF CUBA,
Apartment Houses in Suburbs OF
Havana Are PODular.

Some Is or 20 minutes out from
Havana an enterprise contractor has
erected number of apartment houses,
modern in that they are apartments,
but Cuban as to walls. floors of fine
mosaic, large 'roofed-in porches in
place of courts and Cuban kitchens.
Rent in Havana is surprisingly high,
apartments of from six to eight rooms
readily bringing SIS, $50 and $50 a
nonth. And these are suburban
places. Cottages are comparative ex-
pensive. With all this, it is impos-
sible to build fast enough to supply
the demand. Labor is hard to secure,
and once secured work does not go
on with the vim that rears and fin
lshes house in a short time in New
York. The Cuban laborer is slow;
he must have time to rest and to
smoke and very often he likes his
siesta as we'll. He is Independent in
a way, because foreign labor intro
duced into Cuba does not flourish. the
climate being too severe for the av-
erage labOrer until he has been in the
country for some time.
The colOring of Cuban houses is
another characteristic borrowed from
the early ages, and is likely to sur
vive years of American invasion. In
fact, Americans seem delighted with
the quaint effects, and express no de-
sire to build American houses in Cuba.
The cement of which. these houses
are built Is for more artistic than
covering and polish of paint. On a

nation sounds something like an Eas-

houses of gay plumage, as it were,
are in keeping with the tropical sur

WHY HAIR TURNS GRAY.
Various Theories Accounting for the
Sudden OF Gradual
Change.

The color of the hair depends on lit
tie granules, which can be seen II the
hair be examined under a powerful
microscope Sometimes, says St Mich
olas, the hair may become white in a
night. Brown Sequard tells us that
when he was - years old his beard
turned white in two days. This took
place when he was perfectly well and
without any especial cause. Sometimes,
however, sorrow or illness produces the
change earlier in life than il would
usually take place. As to the cause,
some have said that the hair becomes
filled with small air-particles which
make it look gray; others have said
that the outer part of the hair becomes
altered so that it is like ground glass
and you cannot see the color But a
man by the name of Metchnikoff tells
us that the real reason is because small
movable bodies in the hair devour the
grains OF coloring matter and move them
| to the root of the hair. Sometimes
poisons in disease, or some results of
sorrow, bring about an effect upon these
small migrating bodies Cells, causing
them to become active in the above fash
ion. That is said to be the reason why
the hair grows gray

FISHES FOND OF MINNows.
Great Numbers Are Required as One
Item of Aquarium Food
Supplies.

In nature everywhere large fishes
feed on small ones and on other forms
of animal life which they may find
In the water. and for their well being
ii is always sought as far as possible
to supply such natural food to fishes
in captivity, says the New York Sun
In the case of great aquarium like
that in New York with many captive
fishes, this involves the supplying for
food purposes, among other things,
of great number OF minnows The
larger fishes in the New York aquari-
UNI consumed last year about 1000
quarts of minnows, or about eight bar
rels
The minnsws thus fed range from
half an inch to ave inches in length
and average about $500 10 the quart.
so that it takes about 100000 min
nows annually TO furnish this item
Of the aquarium's food supplies, which
includes also clans and shrimps and
cut up fresh fish and various other
things.
The largest OF the striped bass. n
fish close TO three feet in length and
weighing probably % pounds, will eat
from 200 to $50 minnows in day. II
1t should eat 200 a day for 900 days
in the year 1t would in that period
consume 10000 minnows.
But whether, like the big striped
bass. they eat 200 minnows in day,
or like some of the smaller fishes,
only dozen, or half a dozen, all fishes
like minnows. and this fondness for
them Is not confined to fishes alone,
but Is shared by other animals Of the
sea. as, for instance by seals. which
like minnows very much. II a hand
full OF minnows are thrown into pool
OF seals the seals will dive and swim
about after them with great swiftness
until they have swallowed every one
So It takes quite lot OF minnows
to satisfy the natural appetite OF the
aquarium's larger fishes, but the two
and a half millions or thereabouts
thus annually taken don't cut much
Of figure as compared with the mum.

um are all gathered within com
paratively small area, neighboring to

officer of the French navy, writing In
La Nature, and translated for Literary
Digest, calls with some justification,
"the eve of the submarine" Writes
Mr.. Jourdan:
In principle the periscope is COM
posed of tube of small diameter
placed vertically on the upper part
of the submarine. Its lower end pen
etrates into the boat, while its up
per end rises above the water by
few inches.
TT works by one of the simplest OPP
teal devices-the use of mirrors.
mirror in the upper end of the tube,
inclined to As degrees to the horizon
tai, receives the images Of objects on
| the water and sends them vertically
downward to second parallel mirror
at the lower end of the tube, within
the submarine. w.
Though every maritime nation has
adopted for its submarines an instru-
ment based on this theory, some, as in
our own case, have an excellent one,
while others have been retarded in the
utilization of submarines by the in
sufficiency and ineffectiveness of their
optical devices.
Without betraying military Sc
crets, we may give few details re-
garding the installation of the peri
scope on French submarines, which
will make their working little
clearer.
In the first place, the mirrors
spoken of above, are replaced by
prisms. The arc of the horizon GOV
cred by the upper prism Is about 81
degrees. The periscope has two
tubes, short one, fixed in the hui
and a movable one which slides
in it. The latter is pushed up above
