firmed the conclusion that the air IN
the storeroom was Ordinary air con-
tanning less than its proportion Of
oxygen, owing to admixture Of air
deprived of Its oxygen which issued
from the well.
The soucre of the impoverished air
from the we'll was finally traced to
tunnelling operations close by IN
which compressed air was being used.
The air must have found its way
through the soil wherever II was suf-
ficiently porous, and so into the shaft
Of the well. and on its passage through
the soil must have been deprived Of
part of its oxygen by contact with
some substance such as pyrites.
Evidence in support of the correct.
ness of this conclusion was furnished
by the analysis Of the mud from an.
other well shaft near the first. This
mud was found to contain pyritss and
air left in contact with 1t for some
weeks was deprived OF almost the
whole OF its oxygen

How They Earn Money.

Nearly all the workmen employed in
the naval arsenal at Toulon, France
add to their salaries by exercising
another trade during their leisure
hours. Some are hotel carpet beaters.
others distribute prospectuses and
hand-bills, or act as parcel carriers
for local shop keepers. One man COM
planned recently in all seriousness that
he was Sc overworked at the arsenal
that he had no time to exercise his
profession of masseuT. A number
of arsenal hands actually carry on
their supplementary trades in the
yards. There are amateur shoemak-
ers, watchmakers and BARRIERS, who
carry on triving and lucrative bust
ness among their comrades.

most Beyond Comprehension.
Siberian journals are full of the hor-
rible suffering the political exiles un-
dergo in Tobolsk, Irkutsk, and otner
sections of that desolute land. Dur
ing the last II months, as many as
$4,000 people have been sent thither.
About 1000 have escaped, but the
rest remain to endure living death.
They are sent to the marshes where
nothing grows but rank grass, and
where no trade or craft can enable
them to earn enough to prolong their
miserable existence.
The Russian government allows
them exactly two and half cents a
day The money sent by their friends
rarely reaches them, being intercept
ed by the czar's officials. In sum-
mer, they keep body and soul
gether with fish caught in the rivers
and coarse rye bread. In winter fish
is worth its weight in gold and bread
unheard of. Then they eat the grass
from the frozen marshes. Little won
der that scurvy, cholera and typhus
rage among them.
This is not the worst, for they are
obliged to live in the Alud huts of the
native Ostiaks, infested with that
Siberian scourge, leprosy. 1t Is not
surprising that these exiles, most OF
them delicately reared men and wo-
men, envy their more fortunate com
rades who have perished on the stock
AIDES of Russian fortresses for their
political opinions and thus escaped
this certain but slow death known rs
perpetual exile" They have no hope
for anything better and cannot even
find a solace for their sufferings in
work-for there is none to be done in
this frozen wilderness.
In spite of the heavy death rate
their numbers are steadily increasing
for every week brings out fresh vic.
tins. In fact the numbers of political
exiIes have increased to such an ex.
tent that the Russian government has
decided to run special exile" trains
daily from st. Petersburg to Siberia
These trains carry only political pris.
oners, who are horded together like
cattle in unwarmed wagons. They run
at the speed of the so-called postal
or courier trains.
And yet, in spite of these terrible
sufferings, men and women in Russia

Merits Of Canine Police.

The alert German minister of the
interior sent a police commissary into
Belgium to investigate for himself
the merits of the dog police, says the
Outing Magazine. The report of this
official as to the efficiency and econ
omy was so striking that within three
years 15o German corporations had
also installed dogs as auxiliary po-
lice, and we're soon satisfied, as also
were many cities of Austria. Hungary

The First pancers.

People have danced for thousands
of years, and will probably continue
to do so for ages to come. This Gus
tom is of ancient origin. The first
people to dance were the Curetes,
who adopted dancing as mark Of
rejoicing In 1543 B. c. In early times
the Greeks combined dancing with
the drama, and in % B. c. pantomimic
dances were introduced on the Roman
stage. At the discovery of America
the American Indians were holding
their religious, martial, and social
dances.

THE DISCOVERY OF ouININE.
One of the Most Useful Medicines, 1t
is Much Abused by Many.

is Much Abused by Many.
1t is to be assumeds that every one
in the civilized world has taken
dose of quinine at some time or other
1t is the universal drug. Its value
is unappreciated by the masses, who
use it only for colds and fevers. AS
a tonic it is unsurpassed. AS an al
terative it has no equal in the materia
medica. A distinguished surgeon said:
"If / wanted to ferment barrel of
cabbage in less time than any one
else could / would put in it an eighth
of an ounce of quinine. A little quin-
inc in the disordered stomach acts
just about as it would in the cabbage.
1t hastens the assimilation Of the food
and restores the normal conditions"
The habitual user of quinine, how
ever, becomes a slave to the drug
and thus derives little benefit from
it. Men with malaria eat it by the
ounce and still retain the malaria.
The world is full of quinine fiends,
who pour spoonful into the palm OF
one hand and lick it down without
a grimaoe. They are known to chew
cinchona bark as if 1t were gum.
Others, not habituated, must take two
grains or ten in a geiatine cap
sule. Before capsules were invented
it was taken In molasses, and the
chances are that the molasses effected
the cure. Too much quinine Is almost
as bad as too much calomel.
The world is indebted to Louis
XIV for the general introduction OF
clans who prescribed its use were
prosecuted. Protestants altogether
repudiated 1t. Robert Talbot, an Eng
lishman, cured the dauphin with it,
and Louis le Grand was induced to
buy the secret. He was the only
king that ever embarked in the drug
business.
There are several pretty romances
come cted with the discovery OF
"kina," as the native Indians of Peru
called the cinchona trees from which
quinine is derived. The drug has had
a lot of names-quinine, cinchona,
countess powder, Jesuits bark, Car
dinal de Lugo's powder. Peruvian bark,
China bark, quina, auiQuina, cinchona
bark, etc., and the pronunciation OF the
word "quinine" appears to be a mat
ter of geography-kwi-nine, kwe-neen

HORSE NEARLY RAN
into A BIG WINDOW.
Became Scared at Smith and High
Streets and Reared Violently,
Throwing Driver Out.


A horse attached to light cutter
sleigh became frightened at Smith
and High streets yesterday afternoon
and threw the driver out. The sleigh
was overturned and the spirited ami
NAL at once began to kick violently.
The horse dragged the sleigh up on
the sidewalk and but for the efforts
of the driver, who clung to the reins,
would have plunged through the
plate glass windows of the Progress
Wine & Liquor Company's store.
The horse finally threw the driver
down and after smashing the front OF
the sleigh against telephone pole
on the corner, dashed down High
street as far as Buckingham avenue
where it was caught. The horse was
uninjured, but the harness and sleigh
were practically wrecked.

Br0WnVille Shoot ARRAY Before
The Senate For Sergeant
TestlfIeS For Negroes.

WASHINGTON, Feb Tile senate
committee ON military affairs began
its third day of the Brownsville hear
ing. Former Sergeant Israel Harris,
having concluded his testimony, was
permitted TO return to his home in
Boston and was succeeded by Jacob
ID. Fraser, former first sergeant OF
Company D, Twenty-ffth infantry.
Senator Foraker conducted the exami.
nation.
Fraser testified that he was married
and with other married soldiers per.
mitted. to live outside the post quarters
and was at home with his family on
the night of Aug. ID, when the fir
ing in Brownsville occurred, and was
awakened by two shots. On his way
to the quarters he heard the general
fusillade, which appeared to. be near
B and ID companies quarters. He de-
scribed the call to arms and the roll
call which was ordered by Captain
Lyons, and he said he found every
man present or accounted for.
Fraser said he had heard of previous
trouble with colored soldiers in Texas,
but knew of nothing fierce" about
trouble.
He stated it as his belief that the
citizens Of Brownsville had themselves
'shot up'' the town to drive the SOL
diers away. Mr. Overman asked, "Do
you think citizens would kill one Of
their own number-commit murder-to
get you away?
Fraser replied: II don't know wheth-
er any one was killed. They wanted us
away. Colored men would spend very
little money in the saloons on account
of their treatment, and the citizens
of Brownsville wanted white soldiers,
who would spend their money"
Fraser Is Il physical giant, and he
created much amusement in relating
an account of his capture in the Philip
pines of noted bandit who had ter
rorized the constabulary. Indeed, he
said that the bandit had previously
run the chief of the constabulary out
of his own quarters and installed him
self there.
Jerry L. Reeves, former sergeant Of
Company ID, said that on the night OF
the trouble he was awakened by shots
which appeared to be in the direction
of the quarters of Companies Il and G.
Shortly after inspection witness stated
that the guns were taken away from
the men, but he believed that the am
was still left in their care.
He could not state who did the shoot
