THE STATE OF SEQUOIA.

new state to be added to the Union

which have adopted Indian titles for
state names. The convention. after

the new state should be known as Sc

alphabet for the Cherokee tribe was
conceived from the brands he saw on
cattle. He carved eighty-six charac-

bark, then he called the wise men to-

hours after the actual explosion, for
this is the time the sound occupied on
its journey.
If Vesuvius were vigorous enough to
emit a roar like Krakatoa, how great
would be the CONSERVATION of the

by King Edward, at Windsor, and by
the Car, at Moscow. 1t would aston

subjects. 1t would penetrate to the Sc

Atlantic would also catch the mighty
reverberation. Or, to take another

we could believe that the sound would
travel as freely over the great CONT

then we may boldly asser that every
car in North America might listen to
the thunder from Pixies Peak, if it
rivaled Krakatoa. Can we doubt that
Krakatoa made the greatest noise that
has ever been recorded?
Among the many other incidents
connected with this explosion, | may
specially mention the wonderful syS-
tenn of divergent ripples that started
in our atmosphere from the point at
which the eruption took place. The
initial impetus was so tremendous that
these waves spread for hundreds and
thousands of miles. They d~iyerged,
in fact, until they put a mighty girdle
round the earth, On n great circle of
which krakatoa was the pole. The ut
mospheric waves, with the whole earth
now well in their grasp, advanced into
the opposite hemisphere. In their
progress they had necessarily to form
gradually contracting circles, until at
last they conyerged to a point in Cen

point of the diameter of our earth,
5000 miles from Krakatoa. Thus the
waves completely embraced the earth.

COLONEL
POEM.

Several years ago the late Col. D.. b.
Henderson wrote a poem entitled Eyes
or Nor" which slumbered until the
other day, when it was e In Des
Moines at a meeting held in the famous
Iowan's memory. The poem runs:
Is there a mentor strong and good
That always indicates the road
Where we should go,
That tells US with unerring voice
Which Of the words should De our cnolce--
The Yes or No?
We have the bibles Of the earth,
With all their holy power and worth,
And yet we know
The world is wild with disputation
As to the true road to salvation
The Yes or No.
When seeking virtues truest path
And all the purest gems she hatn,
Is there no woef
Is there no doubt In noblest mind
Who in the word from heaven Woulu
find
The Yes or MOI
Our hearts will whisper: This is right;
Here live and love and drink delight
Nor dream of Woe
When reason suddenly cries ont.
In tones that fill the heart WIN uoupI
And thunders: MOI.
And ever thus we rise and fall,
We hope and fear and tremble all
Until We go.
Then we shall have a sweet repose,
There Is a light that melts our woes,
Lost Is the No.

WAS WITH THE VANGUARD.

In the Franco-Prussian war Miss
Barton was the first person to enter
Strasburg after the fall of that city,
and was instrumental in organizing
the relief. She performed a similar
service at Paris, which she entered with
the vanguard at the conclusion of the
siege. After her return to the United
States she directed relief work in addi-
ton to the instances above mentioned
during the Mississippi flood of 1882, the
overflow of the Ohio River in 1883, the
Louisiana cyclone of the same year,
and the Texas drought of 1889, ever at
the fore aiding, sustaining, and sup
porting by her untiring presence the
failing courage of those who in their
suffering learned to depend upon her
with passionate love and gratitude.

took up school teaching as a means of
livelihood, and when she was obliged
to abandon this because of failing eye
sight, she managed to secure a position
in the Patent Office at Washington, and
here she continued her service until
the outbreak of the Civil War disclosed
to her a lifework. Her advertisements
in the Massachusetts papers that she
would receive money and stores for the
wounded soldiers and personally dis
tribute them at the front brought quick
responses, and from this small beginning

AWFUL BALLOON VOYAGE.
German Military Aeronaufs Safe
Only After a Terrible En-
perience.
War Airship Was Driven Five Hun
dred Miles Over Bakfic Sea and
Dropped in Swedish Snow Bank
Barely AVerted Drowning.

The progress of balloon experiments
in the German army has just received
a were setback by the fearful expert
enceS of two membera of the Aero
static Corps. named Wolff and Brand,
who have returned to Berlin after hay
ing been given up for dead, following
a balloon ascension, during which they
completely disappeared. The two men
were blown all the way from Berlin to
the Baltic Sea, where they were driven
by a gale clear across that body of
water, and finally landed, half dead, in
a little village in Sweden, travelling al
together more than five hundred miles.
The story of their flight is one of the
most thrilling in the history of bal
looming in Europe.
UNABLE TO MAKE DESCENT.
The two ba|lloonists, caught in the
gale in the upper air, We're blown at
terrific speed for three days, unable to
make a descent without being dashed
to death.
AS the wind seemed to slacken, Hhe
b%alloonists opened their valve, prepar-
ing to descend. What was their horror
upon seeing as they dropped from the
clouds that the open sea was beneath
them. They tried to shut the valve,
but were only partly successful.
When within a few hundred feet of
the water, the valve vas closed by
Wolff, who climbed up to the cordage
surrounding the gas bag TO do it. But
the balloon still dropped nearer the
sea. Finally, desperate, the balloon
lists climbed into the balloons rigging
and cut the basket from under them.
Clinging to the cordage about the
balloon, the two men hung between
hope and fear for a few moments as
the bag seemed to hover uncertainty.
The thought came into their minds
simultaneously that one must drop off
and tighten the weight To save his
comrade; otherwise both must drown.
But slowly the bag began to rise once
more.
CHUNG TO CORDAGE FOR HOURS.
After clinging for hours to the cor
dage, thousands of feet in the air over
the sea, the two soldiers made out the
land. As soon as it was safe, the valve
was opened again, and the balloon was
allowed to descend slowly. The two
men landed in a snow bank within a
few miles of a little Swedish village.
They had to walk two miles, almost
exhausted. through the snow, and col
lapsed just as they reached the first
cabin.

Although Over Eighty Years Old She
Has Started In with Great Energy
to Organize New Relief Work to
Cope with Wrecks.

Clara Barton, the famous Red Cross
leader, has just given new evidence
that she is one of the most remarkable
women the world has ever known. Feel
ing that the Red Cross work has been
placed on a permanent basis and no
longer needs her close supervision, this
untiring woman, although upward of
eighty years of age, has lately returned
to her old home in Massachusetts and
opened headquarters for a great new
movement to alleviate suffering, name
ly, a project for organizing hospital
corps on all railroads in order that
with the aid of hospital cars speedy
suceor may be brought to persons in
jured in wrecks.
The portrait here presented is of
especial interest, inasmuch as il is the
only likeness which Clara Barton has
permitted to be made in many years.
The famOus Red Cross worker has no
love for the camera, but her close per-
sonal FREUD, Mrs. John A. Logan, after
much persuasion finally induced her to

reach him from all parts Of the world.
But, in addition to manifesting very
strong desire to forget as far as he can,

not conceal his joy at having his honor
restored to him. But-and this is Il
trait of discretion of which he and his
family have given an example for many
yearS-he does not wish to say more. He
has no desire to make any recriminations
against his accusers and torturers.
Would he take any action against those
who so greatly wronged him? Would
he resume his position in the army in the
Artillery Regiment to which he has just
been appointed at Vincennes, and which
is commanded by Jew, Colonel Mayer
Samuel? To all these questions he gave
no reply and he asked that they might
not be pressed. Did he consider him
self victim of anti-Semitism On this
point there can be no doubt; moreover,
the pleadings of Nj. MOrnard contained
in this respect the most formal assur
ances and proof that what the wrong
doers wanted was not to proceed against
Captain Dreyfus as such, but against
Jewish officers in general, Of whom he
was the incarnation. Nj. MOrnard showed
how, throughout his career, Captain
Dreyfus had been prosecuted as the Jew,
and how the Dreyfus affair was not a
spontaneous outburst but the result OF
an anti-Jewish agitation, of which the
campaign Of the Marquis de Mores, his
duels with Captain Mayer (who sue
cumbed to his wounds). and Nj. Cremleu-
Foa were the prelude in order to bring
about the monstrous condemnation OF
Dreyfus, who was to symbolic Jewish
treachery in the eyes Of the masses.
