the hospital here, told the police that

The Red Men and the Rocket.

An Emporia (Kan.) man recalls an
interesting incident of the Fourth of
July celebration held in Emporia in
1859. The Kaw Indians, whose reser-
walton reached almost as far south as
Americas. heard of the celebration and
started to Emporia in order to reach
there in time for the big feast at night.
A few fireworks had been secured
for the celebration, and when the In
dams reached the corner where the
First Presbyterian church now stands
the people downtown fired a big rocket
up north. The Indians saw it coming
and gaZed in open mouthed wonder till
it broke high above their heads. Then
the warriors and bucks gave a big
yelp and, turning. fled back toward the
reservation, leaving the frightened
squaws and papooses to follow as best
they could. People at Americas said
that when the Indians passed there
they were still running.-St. Louis

UsefuIness of Skyrockets.

The white stars in the cheap, one
ball candles" are merely balls OF cot
ton soaked with benzine.
Scarcely less indispensable to the
Fourth of July celebration is the sky
rocket. But hundreds of years before
a Fourth Of July celebration was
thought of the skyrocket was used as
a warlike projectile. We are indebted
to the Chinese for this also, though all
the rockets that are now used in this
country are made here.
The rocket was used for purposes of
war in China as long ago as the early
part of the eighth century. 1t was
soon adopted by the Europeans, who,
however, up to the first part of the
present century used it mainly for sig
Mailing and as a means of setting fire
to besieged cities. Many improve
ments have been introduced, and rock
cts have been made which will carry
a five pound shot 5000 yards.
The motive power of the rocket is
the pressure against the air Of gases
generated by the burning Of the COM
position which it contains. The gases
escape through holes or vents in the
base Of the cylinder containing the
composition and give thus a forward
or upward motion of the rocket, as the
case may be. The long stick or tail
is added to keep the p%rojectile steady
in its course.
Rockets have long been used by the
life saving service as signals, and all
ships carry a dozen or more on every
voyage, which they send up as signals
of distress in case disaster overtakes
them. But they are now likely to play
a still more important part in the
work of saving lives of shipwrecked
mariners since a rocket has been in
vented which bids fair to take the
place of the mortar and shot at pres
ent used to carry lines from the shore
to distressed vessels.

"That's where the fish bite, | hope"
smiled the thin man. "They are flies,
as carefully made as any grayhackle

"DO you dope it out that the Adiron-
dack trout have taken on a patriotic
streak?" asked the fat man, taking one
of the American flag novelties and ex
aiming it. Whose idea"
"The first one," explained the owner
of the flies, "was made for the British
Fly Fishers club and presented to Am
bassador Choate at a dinner which the
club gave him. 1t was just a conceft,
a pretty compliment, and no one
thought of really using the fly. Then
one of the members tried it on the Tay
and got rise after rise for the Amer
lean flag when the fish had scorHed
everything else. If British trout will
bite simply out of their regard for the
new hands-across-the-sea spirit, what
won't the Americans do for their own
