ASCENT OF MONT BLANC.
Utter Exhaustion Is One Reward For
Attaining the Summit.

Utter Exhaustion Is One Reward For
Attaining the Summit.
"The heart thumps irregularly,
the pulse goes up to 100, your
knees knock together and your
poor legs seem unwilling to carry
you. Your throat is parched, you
feel sufocated, your chest seems
loaded down with a great weight,
and such a feeling of utter ex-
haustionp
This is Walter WOODBURY. Hyde's
description Of ones condition on
reaching the summit of Mont Blanc,
in Switzerland, as written to the
National Geographic society at
Washington.
"The air has now become so rare
that even the stoutest guide is COM
PEELED to take breath every few
steps," he continues. eff you ever
saw an asthmatic man trying to
walk up hill while a paroxysm was
on him you can form some idea of
the last part of the ascent. And
what do you think is the first use
made of the glorious view after all
these hours Of toll? Do you open
your eyes wide in establishment at
the wonderful sight? BY no means.
You shut them as tight as you can
and throw yourself down on the
snow in utter WEAKNESS of mind
and body, resenting the imperti-
nence of your guides, who urge you
to look about. But it is too cold to
sleep, and soon you are up trying to
keep warm.
"The view, if you have any desire
to see it, is indeed incompatible.
The panorama before you is i'm
mense, but everything is on such
grand scale, great agglomerations
of plains and mountains, that all
details escape you. Most of Switz-
erland, great portions of France as
far south as Lyons and the plains of
Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy
are spread out before you. The cold
was SO intense that five minutes aft
er arriving at the summit we were
all ready to begin the descent.
although the ascent of Mont
Blanc offers no greater dangers
than that of some other Swiss
mountains, it has the name of being
the longest and most exhausting
climb in the Alps. While such peaks
as the Matterhorn and the Chamo-
nix Aiguilles are SO formed that no
great quantities of snow can cling
to their sides and consequently pre-
sent for the most part merely dan
gers incident to rock climbing,
Mont Blanc, from its peculiar for
nation, is almost wholly buried in
it's upper reaches in snow and gla-
cier, SO that crevasses and ava
lanches and all other dangers pc
culiar to snow climbing are con-
slant menace to the climber"

MARvELS or MAGNETISM.
Some of the Peculiar Properties Of This
Mystical Force.

Some of the Peculiar Properties Of This
Mystical Force.
The true nature of magnetism as
such, of course, is not known. All
that we can be sure Of is that mag
netic attraction does not radiate
outward in all directions as does
bght, but simply acts along lines
consisting Of closed curves and call
ed lines Of force, these lines con-
Meeting the two poles and not en-
tending very far outward between
them. These curves may be found
very nicely by placing horseshoe
magnet under thin sheet Of paper
and sprinkling iron filings on top.
The filings will collect along the
lines.
Now, as to the different kinds of
magnets, there are natural, artificial
and electromagnetic. The natural
ones are found as magnetic ore in
the earth, the artificial ones are
made by stroking a piece Of iron or
steel with. magnet, and the cleo
tromagnets are caused by the action
of an electric current.
Some peculiar things have been
noticed in regard to magnetism,
among which are the following
facts: sis4 eF1so ea !.
1t has been observed that fire
irons that have rested in one posi-
ton during the summer months are
often highly magnetized, no doubt
having been caused by the magnet
ism of the earth itself by the proc
ess known as induction. Other iron
articles that stay in one position
and do not come in contact with
fire or other heat are often found
in the same condition, such as iron
bars to jail windows and iron rail
ings in front of houses.
The most peculiar observation
made, however, was that the upper
part of the steel tire of carriage
wheel attracts the north pole Of a
magnet, while the bottom part or
part in contact with the earth at
tracts the south pole. This is in
the northern hemisphere only and
is fully in accord with the theory
Of induced magnetism. Of course
in the southern hemisphere, where
the earth is under the influence of
the south magnetic pole, the con-
ditions are reversed.
A magnet dipped into boiling wa
ter loses great part of its mag
netism, which is miraculously re-
stored to it on becoming cool again.
A sharp blow given to magnet
will cause it to lose its magnetism.
Also the application of heat will
have like effect.
If magnetic needle be placed
over a rapidly revolving plate of
copper, although it be separated
from it by thick plate Of glass,
the needle will revolve in the same
direction as the plate.-Exchange.

Near Settat, in Morocco, during

First Postal System.

The first letter post, in the mod
ern acceptation of the word, seems
to have been established in the
Hanse towns in the early part of
the thirteenth century. A line of
letter posts, connecting Austria
with certain towns in Lombardy,
followed in the reign Of the EN-
peror Macmillan. In 1881, when
Edward Nv. was at war with Scot
land, a system of relays of horses
was established in the north in or
der to provide the king with the
latest news from the seat of war.
The first regular post route be-
tween England and Scotland was
established by Charles I. in 1886.

Early Clocks.

Many clocks with weights and
wheels were in use in England dur
ing Chaucer's time, and most of
the monasteries of the fourteenth
century possessed clocks, though
these were used to show the astro-
nomical movements as well as the
passage of hours. Throughout the
fifteenth century clocks were made
mostly by armorers and black
smiths, and they were constructed
of iron and steel.

V. BOWER SHOT.
Drunken Negro Runs Wild and
Shoots to Kill

Word was brought to Richfeld, Fri
day morning, that Y. " Bower, Of
Richfield, county treasurer, had been
shot and seriously injured at Shoshone,
Thursday night.
Mr. Bower had been visiting at the
hotel with w. ]. Taper, county com
missioner. of Richfield, starting for
home not very far from midnight. He
got out on the street just in time to find
the village marshal, James May, Ia
brother of Percy May, of Richfeld) at
tempting to arrest a big quarrelsome,
half-drunken negro. May drew his gun,
but made the mistake of getting in too
close to the negro, who struck the
weapon from his hand and then secured
it and beat him cruelty with the butt
of the weapon. Bower and others who
gathered, started for the negro, who
began shooting with the marshal's re-
volver. Mr. Bower was shot in the left
side, the bullet going through the lower
tip of the lung. The negro succeeded
in getting away and boarded train for
the east which happened in the yards
just then. A negro was arrested at
American Falls when the train got in
there, believed to be the one who did
the shooting; and Sheriff Zug went
down there for him on Friday morning
train.
Mr.. Bower, while painfully hurt, is
believed to be in little danger; and it is
expected that he will soon be up and
around about his work. But it was
narrow escape.
A great crowd gathered, with weap-
ons, as soon as the word could be sent
around town; and a lynching or shoot
ing was adverted only by the negro's |
making his escape for the time being.
There have been a number of negros in
Shoshone--but now there is not one left;
after the shooting, they began to make
their escape on foot, by trains both
ways, and there were only two negro
women left there Friday morning, and
they were waiting only for the train.

CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE
One Lawyer Who Doesn't Over
Charge the Public.

Judge Edgerton, of Soldier, was a
visitor in Richfeld, Saturday, for a
little time, on his way to Boise. The
Judge has about concluded to accept
the unanimous, or rather the demand,
of the Blaine county bar that he run for
the district judgeship on the n-partis-
an ballot. He was for four years a
member of the Nebraska state railway
commission, and once failed by the mar
rowest of margins in being elected to
the state supreme court; Chief Justice
Maxwell, the great jurlst of Nebraska,
declared that he was counted out of Of
flee by frauds in the Omaha district.
Mr.. Edgerton recently won the case for
lower rates on the Hill City and Wood
River branch lines, and he charged the
Farmers Union of Soldier, only his ex-
penses---less than $25 in all He is
close student of public affairs, and his
attitude on many public questions will
give him particular strength. For one
thing, he is straight on prohibition, and
that can not be said of all his rivals.
He would fill the place eminently well,
with experience, and courage, and hui
man understanding that the younger
man finds so hard to acquire that
comes only with age.
