the editor of ST. Nicholas says:
No one knows Just why or how a
magnet pulls. AS with electricity. we
know only the results OF the power and
some methods OF its use.
However. your inquiry suggested the
question Of how much q small magnet
can pull. To tes. this tied the ar
mature to the platform" Of an ordi.
nary weighing scale for family use.
Then / tied strong cord to the loop
OF the magnet. put the cord through
a hook screwed to the table and pulled.

how many pounds merely a little toy

A Pueblo Dance,

The deeka or arrow dance Is plctuI'
esque as practiced by the Pueblo In
dams in Arizona. One of the braves Is
led before his friends. who are drawn
up in two ranks. Here he is placed on
one knee. bow and arrow in his hand.
when the Malinchi, a handsomely at
tired young girl. commences the dance.
From her right wrist hangs the skin
Of a silver gray fox. and bells that jan
gle with every motion are fastened to
the end of her embroidered scarf.
At first the maiden dances along the
line In front, by her movements de-
scribing the warpath. Slowly, steadt-
". she pursues: then suddenly her step
quickens as she comes in sight of her
enemy. The brave follows her with
his eye and by the motion of his head
implies that she is right. She dances
faster and faster, then suddenly seizes
the arrow from him anc by frantic
gestures makes 1t plain that the fight
has begun in earnest. She points with
the arrow. shows how it wings its
course. how the scalp was taken and
her tribe victorious. As she concludes
her dance she returns the arrow to
the brave. Firearms are discharged.
and the whole party wends its way to
the public square to make room for
other parties, who keep up the dance
until dark.-Chicago News.

The Monitor does not believe In crowd

that the fall season IL not far distant and
it Is now time to sing the beauties Of
Vermont In autumn. Vermont Is Deauti-
fu In spring and summer but September
and October have charms that over
shadow the spring and summer scenes
FOR many, and probably Vermont of all
the States is the most beautiful In the
autumn. Oother States may have their
hardwood forests and tho resultant turn

fros:s. but possibly no other State has
such perfectly charming mixture Of
various greens found among the soft
woods.

ful summer scenery how much more
charming IS her autumn clothing!
from all parts Of Vermont comes the
report that summer travel, especially by
automobile has been much larger this
year than ever before in Vermont Bet
ter roads publicity and an appreciation
OF our unsurpassed scenery are giving rs
this traffic, and If tourists have enjoyed
our summer they will also enjoy with

as though he had witnessed II with his

necessity, to venture along this trail

of freighters at this hour OF the day
and besides, the Santa Fe trail along
here ran close in against the bluff
coming down to the river at the ford
two miles further west. No party OF
plainsmen would ever venture to build
a fire in so exposed a spot, and no
small company would take the
chances Of the trail. But surely that

so far away he could not distinguish
whether men or animals. Only as out
lined against the yellow sand dunes
could he tell they were advancing
westward toward the ford.
Decidedly puzzled by all this, yet
determined to solve the mystery and

CHAPTER u
Tho 6cene Of Tragedy.


Whatever might be the nature Of
the tragedy It would be over with long
before this. and those moving black
spots away yonder to the west, that
he had discerned from the bluff, were
undoubtedly the departing raiders.
There was nothing left for Keith to
do except determine the fate OF the
unfortunates, and give their bodies de-
cent burial. That any had escaped,
or yet lived. was altogether unlikely,
unless, perchance. women had been in
the party, in which case they would
have been borne away prisoners.
Confident that no hostiles would be
left behind to observe his movements

A MOUNTAIN TRAIL.
(From the Bennington Banner

(From the Bennington BannerD
The proposal which has been made that
the mountain and forest lovers of Yer
mont open a mountain trail from one
end of the State to the other along the
main ridge of the Green Mountains IS the
most interesting suggestion in relation to
the DEVELOPMENT of Vermont attractions
that has been brought forward this year,
Whoever originated the plan deserves a
rising vote OF thanks. Vermont has a
mountain wilderness extending from the
south line OF ReadSboro ana Stamford 10

vicinity OF Roxbury and Warren there
are two ranges Of which the western Is
the most elevated and precip'tous but
the eastern much longer, extending as II
does through northern New Hampshire
and along the western edge of Maine into
lower Canada,
This mountainous ridge Is more than
so miles in width OF some points In Ben-
