dissolution of the Government which he de-

A LOST SCIE CE

n EORE than one hundred years before the in
Nv ventiOn of wireless telegraphy, as it is under
stood and perfected to-day, there appeared
the first nking of the science of nauscopy, by
of which the approach of ships two hundred
and fifty leagues out at could be perceived.
This of course, is the principal to which the
wireless telegraph has been put but nauscopy
differed from it in requiring nothing beyond the
perCeptive abilities of the ordinary man. No high
maStS, no large induction coil, and twin spheres
were needed by the man who discovered the prin-
cpes of nauscopy, yet his is to-day almost for
gotten and priceless nauSCOpy hes buried with him.
In March, 1855, just one hundred and ten years
before MarcOni began his experiments on his fathers
estate in Bologna, Italy, named BOttineau
appeared in Paris with the announcement of a
grand discovery, which nothing less than the
perceivng of ships at distance of fully hun
dred and fifty miles He said he had accidentally
perceived, some twenty years before, while
plOyed in civil capacity at the Isle of France
tain phenomena in the sky that indicated the draw
ing of ships.
After an almost incalculable number of Observa-
tiOns, disheartenng failures, and half-hopeful
Certainties he had learned method of reading
these indications with absolute correctness. He
declined to make his methods public, but when put
to the test than half of one hundred and fifty

to be entirely correct while of the remainder

barbaric rhythm A charge from the camp followed,
and two hundred wild riders attacked the agency
with war-whoops, circng its buildings and scuTying

of hoos the cracking strokes of the qurt the CLINT

feathers, the shrill Aa-a-a-yi-yih! ye-ha-yi-yiPl
-war-whoop of the Sioux-all this was realistic
enough and prepared for the glories of the day:
On the ground there nothing to remind one OF
civilized life save the wheeled vehicles which, ranging
from broken down spring wagons to brand-new top
buggies were to be scattered among the tepeeS
In the center of the campground an inclosure, two
hundred feet in diameter and five feet in height was
constructed of posts to which railing OF light poles
was withed and woven with green willows and small
bush This inclOsure-the only one except the
great tribal circle of the villages-was for the
dancers and beyond its willow rails the spectator
might not pass. -,
The DAYS program on the grounds opened with
the begging dance. A delegation arrayed in
fantastic poverty ty-stricIen attire rode about the
inner circle of the camp, stopping before certain
lodges to dismount to beat drum, and to dance
with halting steps and to chant while one went to
the tepee door to invite its inmates to come forth
and look pityingly upon the mendicants. These

We have nothing to eat

sat on one side of the willow
lodge, and the old men,
women, and children on the
other. Five cOw-skin drums,
each beaten by six men
welding two sticks to the
man, were distributed, one in
the center and one just within
the barricade at each point
of the compass.
At the signal of the drums
a hundred gaily bedecked war
riors would leap into the ring,
and during the measures of a
chant which was chOrused by
one or two singers at each
drum, the dancers leaped and
contorted their bodies each
after a fashion of his own.
1t was a free-and-easy Occa-
sion, and any man who chose
could at any interval march
about within the circle and
chant his deeds as a warrior. An

says the writer, the suspicious thing is that Bot

that he certainly possessed some part of the power
to which he laid claim. In the meantime BOttineau
had published letter the subject requesting
savants to furnish him with name. He wrote:

The Women Danced Alone

TT7HE women danced alternately with the men. To
the number of hundred or more, they formed
three-fourths circle around the central drum. One
drum alone played for them. They chanted to its
rhythm and danced with peculiarly Jerky move
ment of the knees. shoulder to shoulder and with
heel-and toe sde-steP to the left until each one had
passed entirely around the circle and stood in her

At night they danced the Mandan dance Of the

ranged. Squatted cross-legged in many rows, the

WASHINGTON, March 12.-State-
hood legislation formed topic of dis
cussion at the White House today. 1t
developed from the calls on the presi-
dent of Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican whip" of the house, that the
members of the house are incensed at
the action of the senate, not only on
the statehood bill, but on other meas
ures passed by the house, which have
been received with disapproval by the
senate.
Speaker Cannon was asked if, in his
opinion, there would be statehood legis-
lation by this congress. He said, ve-
hemently: go ask Aldrich Burrows
and company. They seem to want to
be running things. So far as L am
concerned-so far as my vote goes-the
legislation will proceed along the usual
lines. The bill will be sent to con-
ference between the two branches. Do
they think the house was born in the
wood to be scared by an owl?"
Mr.. Watson was positive the house
would not concur in the senate amend
ments to the statehood bill.
"The house will stand pat" he de-
clared 1.-The senate has kicked out
our Philippine bill, has tried to emas-
culate the rate bill and has cut the
life out of the statehood bill. Do you
think the house will stand such treat
ment? 1t will not, and you may depend
ON it."
Statehood insurgents" are rebelling
at the agitation for a caucus on the
ground that it is an attempt to bind
them.

VINETA, I. T., March 12.-Six
United States deputy marshals were
ambushed in Spavinaw Hill, l. T., near

outlaws last night. In the fight that
ensued three deputies, I. L. Giistrab of

Richard Carey of Tahlequah, l. T.,
were killed
Thomas Wofford, one of the deputies.

additional deputies and to offer $1,000

other three sought shelter behind some
rocks. One of them, Wofford, was sent
back on foot to Tahlequah for rein

were holding the Indians at bay.
The ambush was laid in the Saline
