Electric ENGINES In Mines.

The first electric mine locomotive
was built in 1887. 1t looks as clumsy,
compared to its modern successor, as
the model Of the first railway Iocomo-
tive beside the gigantic machines
turned out from the shop in the year
1907. sa
Some Of these early creations, how
ever, have lasted straight through the
period Of improvement and are still in
operation One such-was built in 1889.
At the time of the Pan-American Ex-
position in Buffalo the officials whose
duty it was to gather exhibits for the
Electrical Buildings decided to obtain
this locomotive.
They wrote to the manager Of the
mine where it had been used to ask
If it could be @resurrected from the
scrap heap" The manager replied,
with some Indignation, that it could
not be "resurrected from the scrap
heap" being still in operation; but
that it could be loaned, provided
new locomotive were to be substitu-
ted to do the work during its absence.

The days when the poor hero work

bookseller in Twenty second street is
selling off the classic biography for
five cents each. Any poor scholar
may also purchase a complete Greek
course, including grammar, prose COM
position, analysis, and the lliad for Is
cents. The first three go for nickel
each, while the immortal Homer is
held at dime.
The Latin classics are equally low
priced. The particular pupil can have
his choice, of several grammars at a
nickel apiece, also ne prose sentenc-
es, Caesar, Cicero, and Nepos. The
translations for the same works come

that there will be more demand for

theology has even less to boast of.

to find beautiful Mexican side-sad-
die from her brother Lee, and she
learned to ride like the white ladies',
and was very proud and happy.
Now the Piutes always would wan
der about. They lived by hunting and
fishing, not by farming, so they
moved from place to place wherever
there was game. When they were in
the mountains rough white settlers
came to Pyramid lake and caught al
most all of the fish with nets, so that
there were no fish when the Indians
returned. This made the Indians an.
cry, and so trouble began. ALL this
time Sarah was in California. Her
father, Chief Winnemucca Second, and
her mother were in Nevada, and she
OFTEN heard good news from them, but
one spring when she was seventeen
years old two Indians came bringing
the news from her father that he was
IN the mountains and wanted all his
children to come to him, but especially
Sarah.
Starting on their ponies they began
the journey, riding beside the wagon
where the grandmother rode. 1t took
twenty-five days to reach Carson City,
put here their father and mother met
them, and next day all went to see
Gov. Nye. whom Sarah told in English
what her father, the chief. wanted to
say.
Gov. Nye was very jolly and good,
and when he knew how things really
We're he told the white settlers not to
interfere with the Indians, and sent
soldiers from the fort to drive the
rough men away; so Gov Nye and
Chief Winnemucca became good
friends, as they never could have been
but for little Toc-me-tone and her
bright interpretations.
For the next year Sarah talked
both Piute and English, and settled
many little troubles. She was called
friend both by the Indians and sol
diers, and her father and she thought
often of old Chief Winnemucca's
words5an kept peace with their white
brothers.

six of the pictures had never left the

years ago concerning Raphael which

a we'll known millionaire That it was
q genuine Raphael the most sllilful

TO oxYeENlzE ATHLETES.
Plan Of Prof. Leonard Hill, F. r. s.,
To Break All Worlds Sporting
Rarnrde

Leonard Hill, F. r. S., Professor OF
Physiology at the London Hospital,
is of opinion that by the use OF oxygen
it will be possible to break the worlds
athletic records and to improve sports
in general The remarkable tests
which he has so far conducted have
been in connection with runners, and
he gives instances where two rum
ners, after breathing oxygen for two
or three minutes respectively, each
best his previous record.
Mr.. Hill, in cooperation with his
demonstration, Mr.. Flack, has been
for the past twelve months engaged IN
research work into the cause OF hard
breathing, and, speaking on the SUD
ject of his experiments, he said that
the reason why man cannot hold his
breath is that he uses up the oxygen
that is in his blood and tissues and
goes on producing carbonic acid. Inc
want of oxygen and the excess OF
carbonic acid excite the breathing
centre in the brain and force the man
to take his breath. The effect or
want OF oxygen can be STAYED off for
much longer period by breathing pure
oxygen. He found he could hold his
breath three times as long as usual
by taking three breaths of oxygen,
whereas Dr.. Vernon of Oxford has
Just succeeded in holding his breath
fer eight and half minutes.
At the London Hospital Sports, Mr..
Hill ard Mr.. Flack gave oxygen to
some Of the runners Immediately az
ter the races and the mems distress
was greatly relieved thereby. For the
three-mile race there were only two
competitors, both of whom were given
oxygen before the start One man was
out Of training and gave up; the other
man confessed that he had never run
the first lap with such comfort.
Next, Mr.. Hill got a first-class ath-
Iete to run for him, in the person OF
T. H. Just, and obtained other run
ners to cooperate. "Mr. Holding"
he said, started off with an unpaced
quarter of mile after breathing
oxygen for two minutes. His time was
1920 seconds. Mr.. Just paced him
only for the last $50 yards. Mr.. Hold
ing told us that in the trials for the
Olympic games he had been unable
to do quarter in less than So sec
onds, and that his previous best was
51.20 seconds. The onlookers declared
that he was not more distressed than
If he had run 100 yards. With this Mr.
Holding agreed. Noticeably absent was
the stiffness of the muscles and grog-
giness in the legs which follow great
running exertion."
Mr.. Hill is now trying to get a
worlds record breaker to run for
him, as he is convinced that remark
able results will be obtained by the
use of oxygen. It's use, he believes,
can only do good to the athlete, while
it relieves great distress, such as was
seen in the case Of Dorando. If Doran-
do had been given oxygen on the last
mile OF two of his run Mr. Hill be-
lieyes he would have won easily.
The same process would certainly
apply to race horses, and experiments
in that Direction will shortly be ar
/ ranged.

An
Indian Princess.
Tcc-me.to-ns Was Friend Of Both the
Irdlans and The White Men.
From Gen. o. o. Howard's "Famous
Indian Chiefs" in St. Nicholas.

We called her Sarah Winnemucca,
of the mint family? Well, Toc-me- to-
which means shell-fower. Have you
ever seen these flowers growing in an
old garden among their many cousins
of the mint family? Well, Tocme-to-
ne loved them of all flowers best, for
was she not herself a shelLflower?
Her people were lPiute Indians, and
they lived in every part of what is
now the great state of Nevada.
Toc-me-to-ne had flower name, so
she was followed to take part in the
children's flower festival, when all
the little girls dance and sing, holding
hands and making believe that they
are the very flowers for which they
are named They wear their own flow
res, too, and after they have sung to-
gether for a while one will dance off
on the grass by herself while all the
boys and girls look on and she sings:
1 am daisy gold and white
Somebody catch meme!
The grown-up people watch, too, as
their children play, and Toc-me- tome
was never happier than when, light as
a bird, she danced and sang her she'll
flower song:
See me- see me, a beautiful flower,
Give me hand and dance.
Then after the plays and dancing
the children had all sorts of good
things to eat, and the flower festival
was over for year.
Only three times did Toc-me-to-ne
take part in the flower festival, for
when she was quite little girl her
grandfather, Chief Winnemucca, took
his family and went to live in Cali
fornia, and when they came back she
was almost grown up.
Her grandfather was very fond of
her, and called her sweetheart, SO she
was sad and lonesome indeed when he
left her and went. to the Happy Spirit
Land; but she did not forget his last
words to her before he went. Sweet
heart" he said, do not forget my
white brothers; be kind to them and
they will be kind to you and teach you
many things"
In California the old chief gave to
grandchildren new names-Natchez,
Lee, Mary and Sarah, and Sarah
learned to speak fairly good English.
Later, when she came to Pyramid
lake, she played with Mr. Ormsby's
children and learned to speak better
English. Besides this Mrs Ormsby
taught her to cook and sew and to do
homework.
When Sarah was fifteen years old
she made the long 5O0-mile journey to
California once more with her broth
ers and sister and her grandmother
Her brothers took care of cattle for
good Mr.. Scott, who had known and
loved Chief Winnemucca, and he gave
them good wages, several fine horses,
and two ponies for Sarah and Mary to
ride. The sisters had always. ridden
bareback like Indian men, but when
Christmas came Sarah was surprised
