Guns.

The Germans we're the inventors Of
the first gun. About 1878, Schwartz,
a German m%achinist, MANUFACTURED
numerous crude gups which were
brought into use by the venetlans in
1892.
1t is a strange fact that cannon
we're made before small firearms. AT
Amberg there is still a piece OIL
ordinance marked with the date 1903.
Cannon were first used in wsg at The
Battle Of Crecy in lS46, 1t was not
until 1874, however, that they we're
made in England.

OLD EGYPTIAN UNIVERSITY
University Of Cairo Hardly Conforms
to Our Ideas Of an Ideal Mod
ern University.

The university of Cairo, Al
Azhar, as it is called, has been
for centuries one of the most ia
nous in the world. 1t is, perhaps,
the oldest of all universities, and
possibly the outgrowth of the Sc
rapeum, which was established at
Alexandria by Ptolemy Softer 300
b. Q. 1t is not what we would con-
slider a university. At least it is
not conducted upon the plan We
are accustomed to.
There is no regular organiza-
ton Of the university. All a stu
dent has to do is to sign his name
and address in a book at head
quarters in the mosque Of AL
Azhar, select the professor whose
instruction he desires, and learn
what hours that particular pro
fessor lectures. Then he will go
to the great building, covering
several acres of ground. There
are no chairs, no desks or rooms
only a roof supported by nearly
1000 columns of granite and mar
BILE, surrounded by a vast paved
courtyard.
His professor will be squatted
on the floor at the base of a partic.
ular column, where he goes every
day, and will be surrounded by his
students, to whom he will talk IN
a familiar way for an hour or two
every morning or every afternoon,
as the case may be, with or with
out notes. The professor some.
times furnishes those who inquire
a list of books pertaining to the
subject under discussion, but that
is not usual or important.
Nor does he ever keep a record
OF the number of pupils who at
tend his lectures. 1t is not neces.
sary for him to do so. They pay
him no fees; there are no examina
tons, no marks of merit or de-
merit, and the officials know only
the student and the date of his
coming. He stays as long as he
pleases, and there is no record OF
his departure.
The professors expect no fixed
pay. They have no salaries what
ever, and students are not re
quired to give them anything; but
twice a week they receive a Ger
tain number of loaves of bread
which they can eat, sell or dispose
of in any way they like, and thaI
is their only regular compensa
ton. This bread is purchased
from a fund acquired by gifts
Professors who win friends fol-
themselves and fame for the uni
versity are often recipients o.
large gifts. Some of them ar,
very well off and can afford t.
teach for nothing.
The professors are not elected
or chosen or appointed by any au
thority. Anybody can teach il
the university, provided he doei
not make himself offensive to tn,
other professors and can attfac
students.

INVENTS SHEEP DIP.
Wyoming Veterinarian Patents
Portable Device.

DR.. G. T. Seabury. of this city, state
veterinarian of Wyoming, has received
a patent on a new sheep dipping ma
chine which he has invented and
which is expected to revolutionize
sheep dipping in western states. The
machine is portable and can be trans
ported from band to band. 1t is so
arranged that sheep placed in the ma
chine, b ytheir weight on the floor,
cause brushes to arise which comb the
wool and throws out under high pres
sure the chemical dip which is elected
through the brushes, thus bringing the
dip in direct contact with the body of
the sheep. A stock company will prob
ably be formed to manufacture and
market the dipper.-Cheyenne Tribune.

MOUNTAIN GEM WAS SNOW BOUND
Caught in Blizzard Near Umatil!a,
Boat Had to Tie Up for
Three Days.

THE DALLES, Or, March 15.-Af-
ter having been storm bound for three
days the steamer Mountain Gem, be-
longing to the Open River Navigation
company, resumed service yesterday
morning. When caught in the blizzard
she was lying near Umatilla and it
was impossible for her to get through
the rapids. Sand drifted on her hur-
ricane deck to the depth of several
inches. Blown by 50-mile wind, the
sand came down in the river in great
clouds and it was impossible for the
officers to see a boats length ahead
of them.
Frank ]. Smith, general manager
for the line, received a full report Of
the conditions prevailing up that way
this morning The storm is described
as having been the worst that ever
occurred in that vicinity at this season
of the year. Smith says the steamer
will be back at Cello in order to make
her regular Monday trip out of there

Aprieots, in Full Bloom, Slightly DAM
aged, but Loss Will be
Light.

CHARLESTON, Wash, March IS
The cold weather Of the past two days
has caused little if any injury to the
fruit trees in this vicinity Twigs cut
from both apricot and peach trees
show the buds to be in a sound con-
dition. In no instance were they found
! to be damaged, though a number of
them were almost ready to blossom.
Leading fruit growers and orchardists
express the opinion, after a careful ex-
animation of the fruit buds, that no
material damage has yet been done,
and that if a gradual moderation o.
the weather takes place a full crop
of all kinds of fruit will be harvested.
Reports from Truax landing and
other points along the lower Snake
river are to the effect that apricots
are badly damaged, but that no in
jury has yet been done to peaches or
cherries. The apricot trees were in
full bloom along the lower river and
they were unable to withstand the
low temperature. The veering of the
/ wind from east to west brings a gen.
eral feeling of hope that the worst
if the cold spell is over and that a

condition free from any permanent in
