COLONEL BoWlE's KNIFE.
The Original Weapon Was Presented
to Edwin Forrest.


to Edwin Forrest.
AS a very small child | remember a
bowie knife that was kept hanging
from u high post bed. 1t was my joy
when alone to draw up a chair, place a
cricket on that. then climb up, clasping
the bedpost with one arm and with the
other drawing the bowie knife as far
from the sheath as | dared. | can feel
now the murderous CLEAN of the steel
and the thrilling sense of danger.
| do not know what has become of
this knife, but there are several among
the Bowie family in Maryland and one
which, | think, is asserted to be the
original is preserved at the Players
club in New York.
The original was fashioned from an
old file under the personal supervision
Of Colonel Rein p. Bowie by Jesse
Cliffe, the plantation blacksmith, and
given to his brother, Colonel James
Bowie, who made it famous and gave
it to the actor Forrest after having
used it in nineteen deadly encounters.
Colonel Bowie was called by the In
dams the Fighting Devil, by his Texan
followers the Young Lion, yet we are
also told that he was the most peace
able man in the world if you let him
alone. His portrait is that of a strong
man aud a gentleman thoroughly dis
illusioned and as true as steel. Above
all things the leader for Il forlorn hope,
but with no suggestion of the border
desperate which he is so often repre-.
scented to be.-A. Bowie in New York
Sun.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG.
Various Occasions When 1t Was Flown
For the First Time.

various occasions Nnen IL was Flown
For the First Time.
The first display of the national flag
at a military post was at Fort Scnuy-
Ter, on the site of the present city of
Rome, N. Y. The fort was besieged-
early in August, 17T7. The garrison
was without a flag, so one was made
according to the prescription of con
gress by cutting up sheets to form the
white stripes, bits of scarlet cloth for
the red stripes, and the blue ground
for the stars was made from a piece
of the blue cloak belonging to Captain
Abraham Swartwout of Duchess
county, n. Y. This flag was unfurled
over the fort on Aug. 8, 1777.
The national flag was first unfurled
in battle on the banks of the Brandy
Wine, Sept. II. TIT. The flag was first
hoisted over a foreign stronghold June
2S, IT'S, when Captain Rathbone Of
the American sloop of war Providence
captured Fort Nassau, on the Bahama
islands.
Captain Paul Jones was the first mar
to display the American flag on an
American vessel. This flag was made
by the women Of Portsmouth, N. H,
for the Ranger, which was fitted out
at that port for Captain Jones. The
Ranger sailed from Portsmouth on
Nov. 1, TIT.

CHANGED IRON TO COPPER.
Curious Transformation Wrought by
 Natures Alchemy.

v
 Natures Alchemy.
 Not Sn very long ago q curious find was made in one of the copper mines at Fl Cobre. Cuba These mines once anon. the richest ill the world were abandoned for long time on ac count of the insurrectiOns ill Cuba against the Spanish rule. In 1868 the coal supply was cut off by the insur gents. and consequently pumping be came impossible. and the mines be came filled with water
 After the Spanish war an American company bought the mines and pro ceeded to pump out the water. In one of the shafts thus made accessible was found what once represented all iron pickax as well as some crowbars The metal in these implements had. if is said turned to copper Extraordi nary as this may appear, it can b" scientifically explained
 The water. Altering through the rock and the copper ore veins dissolved some of the copper. the solution con tainine sulphate of copper As soon as the Sulphuric acid in this solution touched the iron it at once dissolved that metal and deposited copper in its place. for sulphuric acid has greater affinity for iron than for copper In the process certain impurities which had existed iii the iron were left be hind untliSturbed. The wooden handle of the ax was in good condition The al irrnOniQr shape but in the general outline pre- served the form of the ax. somewhai | enlarged in size Washington Star
