One of them has amused himself by calculating how mnch energy, water and Coal it would take to move the earth a foot, supposing that it was sub jected throughout its mass to a forco equivalent to terrestrial gravitation. Tbis is a gratuitous supposition, for In spite of its enormous mass the earth weighs nothing. Starting with the fact that the earth’s mass is about .6,100 million-milNoß* million tons, our statistician calculates that wo should require 70,000,000,000 years for a 10,000 horsepower ea gine to move our globe a foot. The boiler that should feed this engine would vaporize a quantity of water that would cover the whole face of the globe with a layer 800 feet deep. The vapori sation of this water would require 4,000 million-million tons of coal. This coal carried in cars holding ten tons eaeb and having a total length of 80 feet, would require 400 million-million cars, which would reach 80,000,000 times around the earth. Thia train, moving at the rate of 40 miles an hour, would take more than 5,000,000 years to trav erse its own length. It would require for storage a shed that would cover 1,000 times the area of Europe. If we realize that this fantastically huge amount of energy is nothing at ail compared with what the earth possesses in virtue of its rotation about its axis, its revolution about the sun, and its translation in spaoe with the solar sys tem, of which the earth is but an in finitesimal part and Which itself is but an infinitesimal part of the universe, we may get some idea of the importance of man in the universe and estimate his incommensurable pride at its just value. —Nature. DANGEROUS PIGS. The Peccary Is Wholly Fearless aad Will Fight Man or Beast. A writer in the St. Ifouis Republic says that the most vicious and fearless member of the brute creation is the pec cary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This ani mal seems utterly devoid of fear and dis plays an intelligence in fighting man strangely at varianoe with its apparent ly complete lack of mental attributes. Their ability to scent men is partson larly marked. The only thing to do when they get after you is to run away from them as fast as a horse can cany you, and then there is no certainty that they won’t catch you. They are nearly as swift as a horse, and their endurance is as great as their viciousness. A friend of mine encountered a drove of them in a wild part of Mexico a few years ago, and his escape was almost miraculous. He very foolishly shot and wounded a number of them. Then he took refuge in a tree. The peccaries kept him in the tree all that day and through the night. They circled round the tree, grunting and squealing their delight at the prospect of a feast. He soon exhausted his am munition and brought down a peccary at each fire, but this had no terrors for the beasts. Toward morning they began to eat those he bad killed, after which they formed in line and trotted off. If they had not had some of their own number to devour, they would have guarded that tree until my friend, through sheer exhaustion, dropped from his perch and allowed them to make a meal of him. The wildcats and tigers that infest the Mexican wilds flee from the pec caries with instinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes keep out of their path. ’ A Bit of London Weather. Oct weather is grown decidedly good for the last three days—very brisk, clear and dry. Before that it was as bad as weather at any time need be. Long con tinued plunges of wet, then clammy, glarry days on days of half wet (a kind of weather peculiar to London, and fully uglier than whole wet) —a world of black sunless pluister [a soft mixture, neither one thing nor another], very unpleasant to move about in! The in cessant travel makes everything mud here, in spite of all that clats (a clat, a wooden scraper] and besoms can do. A kind of mud, too, which is as fine as paint and actually almost sticks like a kind of paint. I took, at last, into the country, with old clothes and trousers folded up. There the mud was natural mud, and far less of it; indeed little of it in comparison with other country. We dry again in a single day of brisk wind. —Carlyle Cor. in Atlantic. Not Very Pathetic. An Ohio woman visiting Boston for the first time has been doing the sights. “I had my greatest thrill down at Copp’s Hill burying ground,” she said. “Yes, that’s just the place for the historic emotions,” commented her in terlocutor. She smiled. “As soon as my sister-in-law and I got into the place,” she said, “I found myself almost stepping upon a grave with an inscription on a queer little iron cover sort of tomb. I jumped back, feeling the way you do when you step on a grave, and read the inscription, just three initials, no name or date. ;J j ’lsn’t it pathetic?’ I said to my sister in-law. ‘Oh, I don’t know, ’ she answer ed, ‘B.

The word means “given to the dogs,” or, to translate ft yet more dis tinctly, ft means death by bloodhounds. In Spain magnificent specimens of this canine race have always been bred, and When Columbus set out on his first voyage a few fine hounds constituted part of bis fighting equipment. Not knowing with what enemies he might have to contend, he took the hounds along to aid hie men, but Columbus was one of the few invaders coining from Spain who treated the In dians humanely, and not until after ho had gone back to Europe, broken and dis graced, were the hounds used to torture the poor savages. On all the dogs as well as the horses the Spaniards brought over with them the In dlians looked with fear and reverence. The West Indian savages had not only never seen animals so large, but the fact that both dogs and horses performed tasks and obeyed masters filled the natives with respectful amazement. Wi Their interest in these new brutes was soon, however, turned to dismay when the horses’ iron shod hoofs struck down wom en and children and the dogs were em ployed in battie. So ferocious and effect ive were these canine warriors as taught by their Christian masters that in Cuba one dug was more feared than a hundred snndd.men. When Cortes took his famous first ex pedition Into Mexico, a fine pack of blood hounds was among his most highly valued fighters. Pizarro also took hounds Peru, but on the continent the native war rlors wore a sort of armor made of padded cottap doth. Through this the dogs canid not Set their teeth, but they cotria spring easily-as high as a warrior’s throat, run in among the men and by butting vigor ously cause them to fail, nr, mor* horrible still, they were encouraged to prowl ever the battleftrids AdA taaw to pieces any wretched wounged Indian who showed the There were many among these brute fighters who rose by dipt of bard service high in the Spanish ranks, and the names and deeds of some of them come down to us In history. In the island of San Juan —now Porto Rico—was a remarkable dog, so large that he wentby the name of Ber cerrlllo—little calf. Thia renowned man eater destroyed the lives of so many In dians that he was promoted to a military grade, receiving the psy of a sergeant ot the hone and a proportionate share of prize money and spoils. It is told of Beroerrillo that he easily comprehended all that was said to him and the value of any object. On one oc casion when the governor of San Juan Wished to send a written message he gave it info the hands of Indian woman to deliver. Unfortunately her way led past a church, where a group of Spanish soldiers were lounging waiting for mass to begin. Beroerrillo was with thqm and In a spirit of idle brutality they proposed to set the dog on the woman. Beroerrillo needed but small encourage ment. He rushed at the poor creature, who fell on her knees, the governor’s mes sage in her hand, crying: “My lord dog, thy servant is sent with this to the Chris tian lords down yonder—see, here it is. Do me no harm, dog, my lord.” Sniffing at her, the sagacious creature let her pass unbanned.—Exchange. A Little Previous. One night Chaplain Jones of the Texas heard volley firing on the Cuban coast, which was being guarded by the blockad ing squadron, and was told that marines were being landed from the Marblehead. The next morning Captain McCalla came alongside of the Texas in his launch and announced that four of his men had been killed and that there was still fighting. Chaplain Jones then approached Captain Philip and said that he would like to go ashore and look after the wounded and read ths services for the dead. Captain Philip gave instant permission, and the chaplain prepared-to go ashore with a boat load of marines that waa in charge of a young lieutenant. As the worthy chaplain clambered over the side of the Texas the lieutenant looked up from the boat and called out: “Where are you going?” “Lieutenant,” replied the chaplain, “I am going to bury the dead.” “For goodness sake, give us a chance to get killed first, ” rejoined the officer. “Lieutenant, I am going to bury the dead that have already fallen,” responded the chaplain, whereupon the lieutenant quickly replied: "I beg your pardon, chaplain; I was too hasty. ” —Buffalo Express. Boys Always ths Same. The numerous papyri unearthed some time ago by Messrs. Grenfel and Hunt from the ancient city of Oxyrhyncus, Egypt, are being gradually deciphered.

Major General Crease of the British royal marine artillery has devised a new scheme for the coast defense of Britain. His plan is to build 18 floating batteries of 11,500 tons each, thickly armored from deck to keel co as to be practically torpedo proof, but of such light draft that they can fight tn shallow waters. They are to be armed each with 16 heavy guns in four two story turrets and manned by naval militia. He would have besides nine “bat tleship exterminators, ” armored destroy ers of great speed, supplied with a ram, torpedo tubes and light guns. The cost would be 1100,000,000. General Crease is now on the retired list. Novel Way to Celebrate. The ruling prince of the Indian state ot Rampore has rather a novel way of cele brating the birth of a daughter.

Barvivar of the VUh As Karrs Tolls at a By the sinking of La Bourgogne and the awful torn ot life is recalled ths aooi dent to the Ville do Havre of tits num line in 1872, whan the latter named ship was struck at night and went down at once, carrying almost all on board. Piti fully few were those who were saved from the Havre, but among them was ths prominent New York lawyer Witthaua, and the way in which be escaped is so ex inordinary that it sounds like a well oon eooted tale instead of the plain fact that Mt. Witthaua vouches it to bo. The afternoon preceding the accident to the Havre Mr. Witthatw, with another man, waa on deck, and Mr. Wftthaaa was leaning against the taffrail under the flag staff in the stern. As the two men stood there talking the friend put hie hand oi. the large life buoy that was hanging over the side and oalijd Mr. Witthaua* atton tion to it. r “Look,” he said, “these life buoys arc simply screaming farces. This one out here is so stiff and hard with coats of paint that you couldn’t get it free. except by cutting it with a knife. ” Mr. Witthaua attempted to move ft, but found it glued hard and fAst The friend took out his knife and began idly sticking it into the soft pine of the flagstaff and amused himself so the rest of the time that they talked before they were interrupted by the dinner gong. They both went be low. Early the next morning while the pas sengers were still asleep the collision oc curred, and in the mad panio that at once followed, Mr. Witthaua did what ha could to get the women and children into the lifeboats. From the first he regarded him self as doomed, for there were not nearly boats enough for all the passengers, and it was evident that the ship would float only a few minutes. Several women whom he knew on board he found places for at once only to see the boot overturn as soon as it was launched and all go down, ono of them with her two little children in her arma Horrified and sickened by the sight, he went back to the stern of the ship, which wag higher out of the water than the bow, to wait until he, too, went down, and stood leaning again on the taffrail. As ho did so in a flash he recollected the conversa tion ot the afternoon before and looked over the rail. There still hung the life buoy stiff and immovable, and the in stinct of self preservation sprang to life ones more. A knife to free the buoy and he might be saved, but he had none with him, and to find one was impossible with the ship liable to go down at any second. At the same moment his eye caught the flagstaff, and there, where his friend had evidently forgotten it the afternoon before, stuck the knife. With the haste of life and death Mr. Witthaua pulled it out and be gan to saw away at the buoy, and he freed It and threw himself off the deck into the sea just in time to get beyond the vortex that came as the great ship went down, sucking hundreds of victims with it. Mr. Wftthaus floated about for some time, and was at last picked up by a small boat that was waiting about for chance survivors and was brought back to New York to tell of one of tiie most awful catastrophles that ever happened at sea.—New York Press. A. New Explosive. French chemists have for some time past been experimenting with a new ex plosive called promethee, invented by T. Jowler, which, according to the Revue Technique, possesses some remarkable properties peculiarly its own. The solid ■ portion is made up of 56 per cent potash, 90 per cent manganese dioxide and 24 per oent ferric oxide. This is triturated, mixed in a mill and filled into cartridges, a per meable cartridge being employed to facili tate the penetration of the oil, the latter consisting of 50 per oent of petroleum and 10 per oent oil of bitter almonds. This prepared liquid, which is not ap plied to the cartridges until just before use, is stored in metal flasks holding about one-tenth of a gallon; 2.2 pounds of the explosive contains 1.65 pounds of cartridge contents and .55 pounds of the oil, this quantity being sufficient to Impregnate the cartridge. Before being steeped in the oil the cartridges are noninflammable and nonexplosive, even by shock from steel plates, are unaffected by frost, moisture or sudden changes in the surrounding me dium and do not undergo any change dur ing storage. The oil is not readily inflam mable. It is claimed that the disruptive foroe exerted is at least as great as that of dyna mite; also that it is directed in the line of greatest resistance and acts with equal ef ficiency in dense rock, light fissured rock and in water. Bulletin Board Fan. The boy who gets up the war bulletins was working with a speed which showed that he realized an eager public was wait ing on his efforts. The characters went upon the paper with swiftness under his practiced hands, and now and then he drew back and contemplated his work with the pride of an artist. Presently the man of oarping tendencies passed. A sneer came upon his countenance, and tho boy anticipated with the inquiry: “Wen, what’s the matter with it?” “Look at the spelling!” “It’s according to eopy.” “But the word‘Spain!* See how you have divided itl ‘Spa’ at the end of one line and then on the next ‘in.* ” The boy gazed at his work for a moment or two and then proceeded with his stamp ing. “Aren’t you going to change iti" “No, I’m not.” “But it’s palpably wrong.” “Not these days. The way tilings are going now you’re liable to find pieces of Spain scattered around anywhere.”— Washington Star. flpaalßh Each ot “GampUon.** Closely akin to the Spaniard’s mediaeval and aristocratic attitude toward life, says Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, is his curious lack of practical sense and me chanical skill. “The good qualities of the Spaniards,” writes Mr. Butler, “alike with their defects, have an old world flavor that renders their possessors unlit to excel in an Inartistic, commercial, democratic and skeptical ago.” Juan Valera admits this practical awkwardness and ineffi ciency of the Spaniard, but exotaiins, “Sublime iDMpacfty!” and sees in it a proof of his “mystic, ecstatic and trans cendental nature.” The Spaniard, then, finds- ft hard to light a kerosene lamp without breaking the chimney, in much the same way as Emerson made his friends uneasy when he began to handle a gun. Unfortunately nature knows how to re venge hanelf cruelly on those who affect to treat her with seraphic disdain or on those who, like the Spaniards, see in a tack of prudence and economy a paoof of aristoertato detachment. ■' MBBB .<■ H ■ A i i i *■ o I VMO I Mil IM I The Kind You Have Always Boaffht, Mid been In use for over 80 years, hai bortae the idgns&re of . and has been made undssr his ® ooal supervision since its infancy. zrflfCtlfK Allow no one to deceive you in this.
