RUNNING THE RHEA.
Nslative of Ostrich Chased With pas
and Horse.

and Horse.
For the person who desires
unique form of sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
commended. The rhea is member
Of the ostrich family, but somewhat
smaller. 1t runs with the swiftness
Of a greyhound or fast horse and
has a knack of doubling on its
track, which often serves it In elud-
ing its pursuers. The natives In
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
lola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full cry, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared to throw the bola if OPP
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting of syo or
three heavy balls os lead or stone
/ attached to a thong six or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless of
whether it be the legs, neck, OF
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach of danger the
rhea will often crouch fiat upon the
ground with neck outstretched un-
der the grass, remaining motionlesS
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowing against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case The dogs soon discover the hid.
ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure Of
its artless ruse, it makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase of the rhea, which
sometimes extends over a distance
Of five or six miles, is q thrilling
one. It has for the rider all the ex
. citement of a horse race, with the
added satisfaction of knowing tha
sthe winning of the race will result
in q welcome addition to the larder

TIE COLORADO DESERT.
How Sound Carries and the Way MI
RACES Come and CO.

Talk about wireless telephones
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line According
to travellers in that neck Of sand
and sagebrush, you can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to a GER
tain distance.
Two men mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler III
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdeSt
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
th. hundred mark. We awake,
shit ering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength,
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. T':eee again
slowly fade as IA point of brilliant
light appears at tlreir base. This
point grows to half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging. golden lake
Upon the shores Of this lake
cities sprins ur, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into field:
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, SHEETS of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from theil
bases and float upward, topple Over
and stand on their heads, their un
} wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ball o.
, dazzling brilliance hung just above
: the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such al
unseemly attitude by the broat
light of day, quickly resume thei,
, normal position, while all the starl
landscape stiffens into unstirring en-
. durance of the garish light ant
blazing heat of the desert sun. TIL,

TRICK SHOOTING.
Tho Way Some of tho Stage Fssts Az
Aecomplished.

When a champion rifle shot fires

thumb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means of a mirror, at
an apple upon her head or on a
fork held in her teeth, the danger
of using a ballet is obvious. None,
of course, is. needed. The eYplo-
sion is enough. TIE apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and thread
with a knot at the end, pulled
through it from the wings" SO

Generally the mere dangerous q
feat appears the more carefully is
all danger guarded against. In the

often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot off a
cigar which the assistant is smok-
ing a piece of wire is pushed by his
tongue through hollow passage in
the cigar, thus ,thrusting off the ash
at the moment Of firing.
a favorite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in lady's hand. Great
applause is invariably Forthcoming
when the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. 1t is insert
ed by hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that OF
snuffing out lighted candles. Hall

Didn't Suit Washington.

Until the early part of the last
century Milford, Conn, had house
in which Washington was said to
have spent night. 1t was in 1889,
when Washington made a tour OF
New England. Tradition says that
there were certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
fore him consisted of boiled meat
and potatoes. He was not pleased
with the meal and asked for bow
of bread and milk. The landlord
brought the new order and broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
"Haye you no better spoons than
this?" asked General Washington.

DEVICES OF THE BODY.
The Cough, sneeze and Sigh An
Measures of Self Protection.

One of the most interesting facts
about the human body is its power
of self preservation-its power OF
evading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, un-
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most common of
these acts of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the sigh.
Every one is familiar with these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, and fewer still
could explain them.
One OF the simplest of the body's
devices for self protection is the
cough. The cough is merely blast
of air propelled from the lungs in
such a manner as to forcibly dis
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into the throat, the
windpipe or the tubes leading to
the lungs.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
4 Memory Of Pickett's Brigade and .
Night Attack.

Some years after the civil war .
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at q
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincotts.
The presiding officer was Colonel
]. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of it's startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of higher COM
mand than that of earth.
''The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
sience, that always settles over
everything before fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
