BREAD ON THE WATERS.
Old Indian Does Good Turn for

Chafie Grant. grandsons of Gen. U. 8.
Grant, were rescued from certain death
by an old Indian, Pluto Jake. who. after
untold exertion and heroism. piloted
both to where they are being nursed
back to health.
The incident will perhaps occur to
some as q case of bread cast upon the
waters returning after many days.
Gen. L. S. Grant was good friend or
the Indian. 1t will be recalled that his
private secretary and the officer who
made the first engrossed copy OF the
terms of capitulation at Appomattox.

and Lee the figure of Gen. Parker Is
one of the most striking in the group.
He had been a friend of Grants at
Galena. ILL.,, before the war, but went
to the front in 1858 and served unui
1867.
Piute Jake probably knew nothing OF
all this, nor that the cra2ed travellers
he met in the desert were kin to the
great captain who had been the In
dams friend, but so it was.
The Piute's act was CHARACTERISTIC OF

Montana wanted to see-especially the
girls. They nearly broke their necks
craning them at this alleged Bud, and
some OF them-perhaps all of them-lost
their hearts to him. It's wonder they
didn't insist he do little Mutt and jeff
ing right there on the spot. but they did
not and he passed all requirements.
Now, there was one girl of sixteen
who just begged and said that all her
life she had been reading Mutt and Jeff
and just thought ii was the dearest,
sweetest stuff. and it was too cute for
anything. and how In the world could
Mr.. Fisher think Of those simply too
cute for anything pictures. and does any
one tell you the Ideas, Mr.. Fisher. and

Mr.. Fisher please let her have that
bandanna handkerchief around his neck!
OF course, he would. He tore it from
his manly neck and the dear. sweet
thing wrapped it around her hat and
made all the other girls jealous. The
fame of Bud Fisher in camp spread all
over the Glacier National Park and over
a considerable portion of the wild and
woolly west outside the park, because
people began to turn up their noses at the
glaciers and the scenery and look at Bud,

Women and Logic.

rom the North American Review.
OF course, in such a study, one may be
delayed at the very outset by all sorts of
minor inquiries, such as What do you
mean by being logical?" What is logic?'
and the like. / shall not stop for such
views, for if 1 do, we should never get
started. Or at any rate. I shall stop
for only one prior consideration, namely
this, that it may well be that most
women are illogical. for most men are
OF course the word logical" as
used in common speech, often means that
We are thinking of something argumen-
tative. We speak of logical reason, dem
onstratfon. inference, or something of
the sort. That does not mean the logic
of the schools. but any kind of correct
reasoning, whether based on common
sense or anything else. Such uses,
however would probably hold minor
place in our thinking and speaking of
could we count up cases, that we
more often use the words logic or log
ical in different way. We more often
speak of a logical order or development
or sequence or outcome or something of
that sort. We might speak of a log
ical result or logical line of conduct.
or we might speak Of the logic of his
tory or the logic of fact. where evidently
there Is no immediate connection with
argument - One could go on and
without much difficulty collect many eX-
amples of people, particularly women
saying that such and such thinge were
logical and then doing something else
and thus showing either that they had no
care for logical action or. which is more
likely. that they were really governed
by logic very different from what they
commonly thought of as logic. This last
is the most likely. People in their ac-
tons are governed by all sorts of motives
and very often by motives or causes
wh!ch they themselves know nothing
about. So they very often seem to act
for reasons very different from the true
ones. or they often act apparently for
no reason at all.

The Dirty-Faced Boy.

From the Chicago Inter ocean.
In refusing to take two boys from the
custody OF their father. to whom they
had been awarded by judicial decree after
a divorce suit. Judge Sullivan of the su-
perior court proved that he has not for
gotten his own boyhood. and that he has
a lively sympathy with and keen under
standing Of boys
1t was alleged that the boys were al
lowed to go about with dirty hands and
faces, and that this constituted such ne
glect Of the children that the father was
not a fit custodian for them. Said Judge
Sullivan:
..The fact that the boys may be found
dirty at times only demonstrates that
they are boys of the usual agility and
enthusiasm Of that age. l would not give
anything for the nine-year-old boy who
would keep clean for fifteen minutes.
There surely would be something the
matter with him."
A Daniel come to judgment! Cleanli-
ness may be next to godliness. as so
many parents insist when admonish1ng
their young sons. but goodness of that
sort Is not q part Of boy nature. The
real boy likes to demonstrate his SUI
periority over ordinary obstacles. He
loves to climb trees and jump fences: TO
get into what fond mothers call messes,
and to do a number Of other things In
compatible with Immaculate cleanliness.
And, as Judge Sullivan says, such things
are good for him.

AERONAUTICAL LABORATORY.

Dr. A. i. Zahm. in the North American Review
The national aerotechnical institution
proposed by the Aero Club of America.
and strongly advocated in it's official
bulletin. as in other progressive perodi-
Gals, is needed to furnish the basic
facts and principles of aeronautic engi-
neering. and such theoretic and en-
piric knowledge as may be useful to
all promoters of the flying art. II the
laboratory is to be broadly national it
must subserve both civilian and mill
tary interests. But whether the lab
oratory be established by private
means or governmental, or both, what
our people require is representative
American institution in which stan
of trained specialists, provided with
adequate apparatus. shall furnish
physical constants, laws. formulate and
empirical data of substantial and per-
manent value to the engineer. the m
ventor and the manufacturer; labora-
tory where complete and reliable tests
ard reports shall be made upon all
classes of actual air craft that may be
worthy Of study and development, an
institution surrounded by ample ma
neuvering space of land and water.
and preferably adjacent to govern
mental flying ground. available with
hangers and shops to all civilians
worthy of assistance: center of sclen-
ti+ic and practical activity. where at al
times may be witnessed the most accu-

SUN-POWER PUMP.
Solar-Ray Plant Lifting Water Near
Cairo. Egypt.

From the London Telegraph.
A message from Cairo states that the
sun power pumping plant, invented
by Mr.. Frank Shuman. which was re-
Gently installed in Egypt has just been
inspected by Field Marshal Niscount
Kitchener who was much interested in
the plant. This invention has been APP
piled to pumping operations, and is ca
pable of pumping 5000 gallons OF
water per minute to a height of 80 feet
The principle of this. the latest sys-
TEN of power production. is simple. the
heat Of the sun being used to raise
steam in a specially constructed boil
err" which steam drives low-pressure
engine. There is a series of genera
tors. each consisting OF a fat sheet iron
box three feet square. with plates only
one-eighth of an inch apart, and covered
by two sheets of glass an inch apart.
The boxes are massed together over a
space of 5000 square feet and have "a a
heat collecting area of about 1O,30j
square feet. This area is made up of
twenty-siX rows of boxes each row
containing twenty-five single units.
Each box. which is painted with a dull
black composition that does not reflect
more than 6 per cent of the suns rays,
rests upon layer of non-conducting
material. The resulting insulation is
so good that, If desired. temperature
of over 400 degrees Fahrenheit can be
obtained in the boxes.
The boxes are placed on trestles and
can be set at angles to suit the sun,
while mirrors are used to direct addi-
tional sunlight on to the boilers" On
one side of each box is a pipe. through
which water can be admitted. and on the
other side Is a pipe for taking away the
steam generated. The steam pipes from
the various boxes are connected together
so that they discharge into a large pipe
eight inches in diameter, which conveys
the steam to the engine. The latter Is
a low-pressure machine, designed spe-
cially to reduce heat losses to a mini
mum. 1t is provided with a tubular sur
| face type condenser. which type Is essen.
| tial, as only distilled water can be used
| practically in the generators
