The well known employe of Detroit, Michi
gan, Board of Public Works, Joseph B.
Myers, living at 177 Fort Street, west, is an
important member of the Grand Army of
Veterans, and recently li&d a remarkable
experience.
Comrade Myers enlisted at Edinburg, Mo.,
in 1862, and served during the war in the
southwest, and was discharged at St. Louis,
Mo., in 1865. He was a member of Co. K.
First Missouri Cavalry, 14th A. C. Western
army, commanded by General Burnside, and
later by Gen. Eads. He participated in the
battles of Springfield, Sea’s Ford and all the
principal battles through Missouri.
- For months the First Missouri Cavalry
followed tho notorious Guerilla Qaantrell
and ibis bind of bushwackers. Scarcely a day
passed but what there was a running fight.
. For nearly b!x weeks Comrade Myers was
in the saddle constantly. It was a campaign
of strategy and endurance, as both sides
were well mounted. Niglit and day it was
fight and skirmishes and the men were pros
trated for weeks after Qaantrell was driven
frbm the State. Many times the command
rode all night to cut off ids retreat and fought
all day. The men slept and ate in their
Saddles during this campaign, and were glad
when they were relieved.

the effects on temperatnre of both lati
tude and altitude cannot well be shown
on one man, and isothermic maps were
devised to show the effects of latitude
and some other element, such as posi
tion near the sea or in the far interior.
An isothermic line, therefore, does not
show the actual mean temperature of a
place on it unless that place is at sea
level But it is easy to deduce from tho
isotherm the actual mean temperature
of a place, if we know its elevation
above the sea. How this is done is very
clearly explained by Dr. H. R. Mill,
the British geographer, as follows:
“The air grows cooler by 1 degree F.
for every 270 feet of elevation above
sea level, but isothermic lines show the
sea level temperatnre. In using isother
mic maps we must therefore remember
i;hat places 600 feet above the sea level
have a temperature .2 degrees lower
than the- isotherms indicate; places
6,000 feet above the sea, 22 degrees
lower; those 12,000 feet above the sea,
45 degrees lower, and the mountain
slopes 18,000 feet above the sea no less
than 66 degrees lower than the sea level
temperatnre shown by the isotherms.
This accounts for the fact that none of
the important towns in the temperate
zones is situated more than 2,000 feet
above the sea," while in the tropics they
are built at as great elevations as 8,000
or 10,000 feet.”
Weather charts are an exception to
this rule. They record the actual
thermometrical readings at the points
of observation.—New York Sun. *
The woman looked a trifle startled
for a moment, then recovered her com
posure with considerable effort.
“I am sorry to hear,” she remarked
gravely, “that my husband is still
smoking. He has been dead for 12
years.”—New York Sun.
From Ba«l to "Worse.
Several .ladies and gentlemen were
riding down town in a cable car. They
were mostly strangers to one another,
bnt the conversation became general.
One of the ladies had" been at the
opera the night before and was loud in
her expressions of disapproval.
“Worse than all,” she went
“that Mme. Schroeder is mnch too old
for her part. Her singing is becoming
unbearable. Don’t yon think so, too ?’
she asked, turning to the gentleman
next to her.
“Wouldn’t yon rather tell this to
Mme. Schroeder herself ? She is sitting
beside yon, ” he replied coldly. .
After the general silence which fol
lowed the remark, the critical lady
turned to the singer with many con
fused apologies.
‘It is that horrid critic Schmieder
who has influenced my judgment con
cerning your singing. I believe it is he
who is always writing against yon,
He must be a most disagreeable and
pedantic person. ”
“Had yon not better tell all this to
Mr. Schmieder himself?” calmly in
quired Mme. Schroeder. “He is sitting
next to me.”—New York World.
On Landing Troops.
In landing a force on a hostile shore
a great deal more has to he provided
than the vessels to carry it. There are
people who discuss an invasion, and
who seem to have an idea that the mat
ter is limited to crowding a number of
soldiers on a ship and directing them
to be landed at a certain place. There
is no consideration of how they are to
get on shore with their arms, guns and
ammunition; that merchant ships have
only a few boats, and that artillery
cannot be transferred from ship to
beach without any previous prepara
tion. When we consider that, notwith
standing the support and resources of a
large combined fleet and the presence
of transports, more than, a month of
hard work was required before an ar
my of 50,000 men could be landed in
the Crimea, we are justified in doubt
ing those who assert that the invasion
of onr shores with 150,000 or 200,000
men is not only within the hounds of
possibility, bnt by no means so difficult
an undertaking as is often stated.—

Shooting; Stars.
When a shooting star breaks into
flame in onr atmosphere, the residuum
of the combustion remains in the air
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dnst. The virgin snow of
the polar regions was often seen to be
spotted with traces of dust which con
tained particles of iron. Like particles
are found on church towers and else
where. Among the minute bodies that
dance in the sun’s rays there are cer
tainly particles of shooting stars.
The sands of the African deserts
when examined by a microscope present
traces of very small iron particles
which seem to have been subjected to a
high temperature, and the Challenger
on its remarkable -trip in the Atlantic
found at times in its dragnet fragments
of magnetic iron which we have every
reason to believe fell from the sky. Sir
William Thompson (Lord Kelvin) and
Richter have even seen in the aerolites
the disseminators of the germs of life
throughout the universe. — Chautau-

Tlie Strength of a Bear.
Few people know that a grizzly bear
can give points to any other carnivo
rous animal in point of strength. A
grizzly bear weighing jnst 400 pounds
has been watched carrying a heifer two-
thirds its own weight for two miles np
the most steep and rugged mountain
side, and this without pausing for one
instant for rest.
The big white polar bear, though not
really so dangerous a customer, is capa
ble of performing the most extraordi
nary feats of strength. A polar bear baa

Purifying ilie Air.
It is found in many factories that
the hands do much more work in a giv
en time if they have”good air to breathe.
Some firms have quite elaborate provi
sions for the purifying of the atmos
phere of the workrooms.
In the absence of these a simple plan
is to put a spoonful of oil of turpentine
into a liter bottle cf well water, shake
it well, and then blow it about the
room through an atomizer. An im
provement is to mix a few drops of ace
tate ether with the turpentine.—Si
Louis Republic.
ter powers of the Savannah at Augusta,
and the Chattahoochee at Columbus,
conld not long fail to attract the atten
tion of a people %live to their own inter
est and to the general welfare. Georgia
has great advantages in this respect
over the New England states, which
have heretofore manufactured most of
the American cotton and wool fabrics,
bnt the dawn of a brighter day has set
in, and we see from year to year capital
coming this way to onr beautiful south
land. Manufacturers are now convinced
.that the place to manufacture cotton
is on the ground floor where the cotton
is grown and produced, and sooner or
later, the whir of the cotton spindle
will be heard from the top of every moun
tain, as well as from every valley in onr
beautiful Empire state of the south.
Here, we have no need of the middle
man or transportation Wages are much
less here than in the New England
states, the cost of water and steam
power is less, building material of every
kind is less, living expenses are les3 and
the climate is more favorable. The wheels
are seldom clogged or obstructed by ice,
the consumers -of our products are at our
own doors,and for these reasons alone the
manufacturer of cotton must and will
come southward. There is still room
for greater strides along this line than
Georgia has made in the past, and
yet she has done well.
Just how many organized cotton mills
there are now in operation, we are un
able to say, but more than a decade ago
wo had more than 50. We also have
many wool factories, paper factories,
iron foundries, flour mills, gold quartz
mills and stamp mills iu operation, and
railroad shops, locomotive and car fac
tories, carriage and wagon, boot and
shoe factories, and sash and blind facto
ries, we have in large number. We
have tanneries, potteries, liquor aud tur
pentine distilleries and fertilizer facto
ries also without number.—State Agri
cultural Deuartment.
What action is more common^ and yet
how difficult of analysis! How many
persons outside of some .special courses
in physics at the universities can ex
plain the phenomenon ? Let somebody
try.
“Walking,” once said Dr. Holmes,
“is a perpetual falling, with a perpetual
self recovery. 'It is a most complex, vio-.
lent and perilous operation, which we
divest of its extreme danger only by
continual practice from a very early
period of life. We find how complex it
is when we attempt to analyze it. We
learn hew violent it is when we walk
against a post or a door in the dark.
We discover hew dangerous it is when
we slip or trip and come down, perhaps
breaking or dislocating onr limbs, or
overlook the last step of a flight of j
stairs and discover with what headlong
tinue to be the money-
crop of the South. The
planter who gets the most cot
ton from a given area at the
least cost, is the one who makes
the most money. Good culti
vation, suitable rotation, and
liberal use of fertilizers con
taining at least 3% actual
Potash
will insure the largest yield.
We will send Free, upon application,

Lakes That Change Color.
It is^well known that the water of
many lakes exhibit* characteristic col
ors. The lake of Geneva, at the western
end of Switzerland, is blue, While the
lake of Constance, at the eastern end of
Switzerland, is green. Blueness implies
purity, since the natural color of water
is blue. A green kike has its water
slightly clouded with impurities, which
may bo exceedingly fine particles, sep
arately invisible. Professor Spring of the
University of Liege says that green
lakes sometimes become absolutely col
orless for a time, and he has found that
this sudden change of hue is due to the
washing into the lakes of innd colored
red by oxide of iron. Red is comple
mentary to green, and the result of the
mixture is that the green color of the
water becomes for the time neutralized.
Curious Indian Custom.
A curious custom prevails among the
lowest classes of southern India for ob
taining rain in times of drought. A
gigantic figure of a woman is stretched
to its full length on its back on an open,
very low fonr wheeled carriage, and the
carriage is dragged round the streets,
the Indian peasantry accompanying it
with the deafening noise of their tom
toms, drums and bugles. The custom is
explained by the popular notion that
the figure on the cart represents the
wife of Varuna, the god of rain, and
that ychen he sees his favorite wife
dragged ruthlessly along the streets he
sends down torrents of rain *-0 wreak
his vengeance.

“The blood is the life.” Science
has never gone beyond that simple
statement of- -scripture. But it has
illuminated that statement and giv
en, it a meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowl
edge. When the blood is “bad” or
impure it is not alone the body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judg-
menf are affected, and many an evil
deed or impure thought may be di
rectly traced to the impurity of the
blopd. No one can be well balanced
in mind and body whose blood is
impure. No one can have a whole
some and pure life unless the blood
is pure. Foul blood can be made

WOMAN*!
WORK.
An apt old
adage de
clares that
woman’s
work is never
done. This
is true of the
housewife’s
manifold du
ties and ap
proximately
true of the
thousands
who work all
day in factor
ies and stores
and half the
night in
making and
mending
their own
clothes or sewing for others to patch out
meagre income. Women who are too
much on their feet, or who are unable ta
stand the strain of over-work and worry,
are peculiarly susceptible to the weak
nesses aud irregularities that are the bane
of womankind. The symptoms of such
derangements are insufficient or excessive
menstruation, headache, backache, neu
ralgia, " 'ucorrhcea, displacements and ex
treme nervousness amounting in many
cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is
dangerous and examinations by male phy
sicians are painful and unpleasant.
