Hoppy’s Surprise Party. t

“ Too remember Hoppy? Well, ho was with a little bunch of ua back among the foothills o f Nevada about

tw«nty year* ago. where we were at­

tempting to induce mother earth to give us a fortune, and where, I might

say Incidentally, that we found it—

and kept it— thanks to Hoppy.“He wa* one of those lank, bony

creatures that nature puts on the

earth to ahow by way of contrast the

oeauty and use of other mortals. He

got his name from his walk; it al­

ways made me think of a man trying

to run and changing his mind at the last moment; It waa a cross between

two gait*.

“We tolerated him for tho simple reason that so many other people aro

tolerated on earth— he was willing.

W illing to do us any favor or give us

any help that lay within his power,

and a quiet appreciation, of what you did for him — these Were the two

things that distinguished him and led us to forgive him for the many acci­

dent® that he was the chief instru­

ment In causing.

"W e were working the hills for all We were worth and getting pretty

well discouraged when Hoppy, wi\o waa ahead of us. stumbled and slid

down the bank he had climbed,

throwing the gravel every which way. Had it been any other of us we would

have cussed a little, but Hoppy sim­

ply rolled over and stared at some­thing he had unearthed. It was gold

dirt. And there we found our for­

tune. We dug in it for all we were

worth, and after the days had gone and we were through every man in the bunch had dust enough to make

him grin the rest of his life.“W ell, to skip details, on the day

wnen we were packing up ready for, the ride to the nearest camp a man

rides up in a great Btew and sweat to

tell us of a murder that had been done somewhere in the valley, and

we immediately offered to go and

help run down the men who had done

the dirty business.

"So it was fixed up that Hoppy Should be left to guard the dust. I t

looked foolish to me, hut you know how it is; we were in a sweat with

the excitement of a man hunt and

perhaps a good gun fight thrown ln,

yet some of the fellows thought that Hoppy was just the man to put in the

position of guard, for he'd fight if we

told him to, like a cat in a corner.“We rode off, leaving him behind

to keep an eye on the dust. The rest of the story I have gathered from him

and i t ’s mighty interesting. I t seems

that we had no more than ridden out of sight and hearing, or beyond the

reach of a gunshot, when three men

rode from around the cliff to the gul­ly and came up to the shack.

“Hoppy saw them and he didn’t

like their looks, but in those days it

was up to every man to be decent to

any pilgrim that struck his bunk. So Hoppy walk* out w ith tha t queer gait

o f his and says: ‘Howdy!’ They

grunted in reply, and the big fellow of the three leans over and says:

‘K in we stop a m inute, friend?’“ 'Sure/ Hoppy answered, wishing

they were in China or aome other ta­

booed place.“I suppose when they saw Hoppy

they thought they were going to have a regular cinch in landing our gold,

ho t they made a mistake, as people

often did when they figured they could go by Hoppy’s personal appear­

ance. You see, the whole th ing was

a put-up job; somewhere or other they got hold of the truth tha t we

had a lot of dust up there, and they

got it into their heads that they wanted it. So they cooked up that

scare about the murder and the mur­

derer putting up a game fight and wanting our help. We did just what

they wanted— rode oft w ith the chap

While they dropped in on the scene to

do business.“They got inside, bu t Hoppy had

his gun a little too handy, so they d idn ’t do anything except flit around

and gab. Finally one of the men

asked Hoppy for a d rink of water.

The pail was just beyond Hoppy, near the door, and Hoppy invited him to

go over and help himself, but there was where Hoppy made a mistake.

Instead of handing the robber a glass himself be let him go over, and the

first th ing Hoppy knew there were

three husky chaps astride of his p iti­

ful five f*st by one, and thsy h a l hit windpipe shut bo ha couldn't squawk.

"They 1st him not up aftsr they had tied hla bandB ao ticht behind

• hia back hla ahouldar bind** ovor lapped. And tha firat thing the lead #r wanted to know waa where waa tbe

dust. Naturally Hoppy bad forgot­

ten, as any man In his right mind would under suoh circumstances.

They administered a tew klck« to

Hoppy’a bony anatomy, but tha t didn’t seem to waken his faulty mem­ory. still he couldn't think, and ona

of them informed him that tf ha couldn't remember without a little

stronger assistance they'd give him a

little to help him aloug.“Otce more they wanted to know

where the duat waa, but Hoppy couldn't remember. They held a Ut­tle consultation; tlmo was flying and

they must work quickly.

Hoppy watched them wlt)i Inter­

est, and it d idn’t take h lnrlong to aee what they had planned for him ln the

way of entertainment. The big bru ­

tal fellow of the crowd ho,d snatched a long rod we use In prospecting and

was stirring up tfie flre. W hen it Was

burning brightly he stuck tho end of

the rod In the fire and looked over at

Hoppy.

"Hoppy wilted a little, and I don't blame him , but he was game. The

big fellow wanted tq know where

that gold was, but Hoppy couldn't re­member. When a man has given up

yea^s of his life to find the yellow stuff as we had, and has found it at

last, he Isn’t inclined to hand it over to the next poor sinner that comes

along and tries to take it by force.

Hoppy was gaftne.“When the rod wa* nicely heated

the robber came over to Hoppy and held It about one-eighth of an inch in

front of Hoppy’* nose, and he wanted

to know if Hoppy saw it. Needless to say, Hoppy did see it, and, more­

over, he felt It. He was given to un ­

derstand that not only should he see

it, but that he would feel i t if he didn't give them the necessary Infor­

mation, but Hoppy waa tigh t— busy

praying tbat we fellows would come,

you say? Not at all. He was th ink ­

ing of something else.

“At the order of the leader one of

them snatched off his boots and they

made ready to bore a few holes into

his sole. Hoppy had a tough one, bu t he knew as well as they that it

wouldn’t stand roasting. At the F-s

hiss of the red Iron he let out a yet and they had to sit on him * while

before he cooled down. This time

they got h im firm and, as he still couldn’t seem to remember, one o f

them yanked off his shirt and the big

chap leveled the red hot Iron for hia

heart. That was too much for Hop­py, and he begged for mercy and

promised to tell him where we stored

the gold.

“Hoppy told them to go back of

the shack near a brown rock and there under a covering of earth

they’d find the gold. He acted Beared blue, and they hustled out. Hoppy could see them as they hurried up the

rise of ground back of the shack. He

saw them find the place as he had

aaid with the earth covering. They were' aa eager a pair and pleased a

crowd, Hoppy said afterward; as he

had ever seen.

“ One of them had a crowbar. He

lifted it up and down it went. Then something happened. Th^ye was a

crash and a blast of flame tha t went a hundred feet into the air. Mixed In

the crash and blaze were men’s cries

of agony and forms shuttled a mo-**

ment into view, and it was all over.“ We rode hard on the back stretch

for we saw and beard the explosion,

and I tell you It was an anxious and 'hot bunch of men that threw them­

selves off their ponies a t the shack or what had been a shack. We dug

Hoppy out of the debris of the shack, more dead than alive, but he was just

m ad enough to spoil all chance of his

dying, and we managed to get the

truth out of him.“ It seems that • he had kept the

bluff to the last minute so tha t he m ight not arouse their suspicions,

and then kindly directed them tq a

place he had provided in that strange

foresight of his for such emergencies — a hole furniBfced with enough dy­

namite to b low ’a mountain over a l­

most. They had done the rest, and incidentally had found rest, too, for

it wa* so much work picking them

up that we gave up the attempt.

‘Hoppy was a hero after that. I'm afraid he never got over our praising

him , but as long as Hoppy .staid with

us he was treated like a man and he wa3 one, too— the real stuff clear

through." — W . Werner, in Chicago

COMMANDERS OF THEMSELVES

Spme Points of Similarity Between General Lee and General Grant.

The proposition to erect a jo int

memorial to the memory of General

Lee and General Grant the two, great

opposing commanders of the Civil W ar, brings to mind some of the

points of similarity of those famous

soldiers. Not only did they command their respective armies, but each bad remarkable command of himself.

Walter H. TayiOr, ln “Four Years W ith General Lee,” and Horace Por­

ter, in “ Campaigning W ith Grant,”

both bear testimony to this control which makes a man master of h im ­

self.“Lee was a man of a naturally pos­

itive temperament, but he had re­markable self-control. H is passions

were strong, but they were ln com­

plete subjection to his w ill. He was n o t one of those amiable men whose

temper Ib never ruffled, but the occa­

sional cropping ou t showed hotf great was his habltual'self-control.

“He had a great dislike to revising

army communications. One day when i t waa positively necessary to look oyer some reports I had, he was ln not a very pleasant mood. Something

had Irritated him, and I t showed ln a

nervous little jerk of the head. Af­ter disposing of a case of vexatious

character, he seemed greatly worried, nnd I, forgetting what was due my •nperior, impatiently threw down the

paper with signs of anger. Lee con­

trolled himself at once, and said, in a

when I lose ay

temper don't you let it mane you an­

g ry !” ’ <*'/-“ General Grant,’’ says Horace Por­

ter, “ was calm under trials. When he could not control circumstances

he endured thfcm. His temper was

often a marvel. He rarely raised his voice nor showed irritability. He

could not Only, discipline others1, he

disciplined himself. If he had lived in the ancient days he m ight have broken the tablets of stone in wrath,

but he never would have broken the laws written thereon. The only time

during the campaign when I saw him

display anger was when * teamster

beat his hordes.“ ‘General,’ said some one', 'i t ia

singular that you have gone through the rough and tear of the army with­

ou t swearing. I have never heard

you use an oath.’ ■ -----“ ‘W ell,’ replied the general,‘some­

how or other I never1 learned to

swear. When I was a boy I had an

aversion to It, and when I grew up I saw the folly of It. Swearing helps rouse one’s anger. When a man flies

into a passion his adversary keepa

cool and gets the better of it.*“ I quoted General Grant once, as

an example to a teamster who was given to using profane language. He

replied:“ ‘Well, thar’s one thing ©irtin, the

This Woman Made Good.

When, in 1796, Don Carlos Marti­nez, Marquis d'Yrujo, came td Amer­

ica as Spanish minister, Washington

wrote of h im :“ He is a young' man, very free and

easy ln his manners, professes to be

well disposed toward the United

States, and as far as a judgment can

be formed on bo slight an acquaint;

ance, appears to be well informed.” He married Sally McKean, daughter

of the chief justice of Pennsylvania.

She was considered a great beauty. D ’Yrujo waB afterward conspicuous in

Spanish affairs, and his son, the Duke of Sotomayer, born in Philadelphia,

became prime minister. Philadelphia

Washington's administration, and a

Women Inventors.,

W e are told tha i, actor Sing to the

records, flve hundred patents have been taken out by women in England,

in the last decade.

But we need not fear that our

English cousins will outdo us in this field of endeavor. There is scarcely

a page of tbe official list of patents at Washington that does not record

some woman*8 success in .this line.

And very often devices for machinery, and the like, invented by women, are

not patented in their' own name, b\$, are bought out-right by tbe manu­

facturer. *

Mrs. Mary Keys was the first wom­

an in our country to take out a patent. She Invented a process ot

weaving straw with Bilk or thread,

and the process was first pu t Into

practice Ii? 1809, one hundred years ago. I t was only a few years later

that the present-day corset was in ­vented, (he patent being granted to

a woman. The, globe for teaching geography was patented by a woman.

Many improvements and attach­ments to machinery hpve been In ­

vented by women. The Inventors are

usually employes— operatives or clerk*, in the establishment* where

the machinery fs used. A woman clerk ln a New York department store

recently invented a parcel delivery’

system, and secured the'patent in.her own name, and tbe system is now being uped in the store where she was

employed. A Rhode Island woman has the credit for Inventing, both an electric alarm <?lock, and an improved flre escape device. Many of the med­

ical appliances used in hospitals are

the inventions of women nurses. A patent was recently granted a woman for a letter-box, to be used on the out­

side of houses, tha t shows a signal

when there Is a letter ’inside for the postman to collect. This device is already on the market and largely

used In some of our Eastern cities, Singular as it may aeem, most of

the small inventions for simplifying

to a few trivial acts at the ceremony.

She 'iB supposed to see that the bride haB ripped tbe third glove fin­

ger of the left hand for the ring.

She holds the bridal bouquet during ita placlngs and slips the glove finger

back into position.

A t the end of the ceremony she re­

moves the faco veil from the bride

before the latter turns to go down the

steps of the altar. This veil is usual­ly a Bhort piece fastened with pearl

headed pins and is easily removed.She also arranges the train of the

A Condensed Argument.

If a simple piece of machinery,

easily controlled and regulated, can

be made to perform a vast and essen­

tial work, It Is far better than a com­

plicated piece of machinery set, to

the same purpose.If tbe lock-canal, w ith its many

locks— forming a complicated com*

mercial machjne, requiring constant

care and protection for its various parts— would double or quadruple or

infinitely multip ly tbe danger to the

canal's effectiveness through earth­

quake or hurricane, or neglect, or in ­

ternational damage, then (he lock- eanal, other things being equal, is

not to be compared w ith the sea-level.If .the tides upon one ocean'aro so

much higher than on the other that

they w ill make a sea-level canal a

river with a cleansing current which may ultimately result ln a natural

“Strait of Panama," this is a com­

mon sense reason for preferring the

sea-level canal.— New York Ameri­

The Bee Sting Cure.

Not a cure for the stings of bees,

but the' Bting of a bee as a cure tor something else— namely, rheumatism

or gout. The belief that rheumatic

pains may be, relieved by allowing a

bee to sting the affected part is prev­

alent in widely distant lands. I t has been classed by many with other odd

popular "cures,” such as spitting on

tbe bottom of a stone to cure warts

and so on. But there is no doubt

that, in this case, tradition is correct, for the bee cure has been tested and

reported upon too often by reputable physician* to admit of error.

An Oxford professor has recently spent some time ln tracing the origin

afad fli8tory of this queer but effective

method of treatment. I t first

appears in print, bo far as he

could find, about fifty years ago

in a Parisian medical journal, in the shape of an account of the experi­

ences of a French beekeeper who. finding a rheumatic trouble of long

standing relieved by tbe accidental

sting of a bee on his wrist, caused

bees to sting hlpi in other part of the

body, and so was cured. Since his day the cure appears from time to

time in medical literature, often, as a

supposed new discovery. It^has been successfully employed in many parts

of the world. Dr. F_gre, an Austrian

physician, has a record of about ev­en hundred cases in which he has

used if. The sting causes consider­

able pain, but this soon ceases, as the

part begins to swell,, and after two or three such treatments the rheuma­

tism disappears for six months or so.Evidently the sting acts as a natu­

ral hypodermic Injection, and the so-

called “poison” .contains the curative principle. The chief constitutent of

/he fluid is formic acid, b u t whether

this or some m inor element is re­sponsible for the effect of the sting

is not certainly known. — Montreal

a row of seeds ,of ta ll castor bean plants, and in the vegetabld garden

next to the front fence, she had a

Bibulous Prisoner Punished.

j Spain there a prison which opens

| the doors every morning and the pris-

I oners go into the town for housework, { garflj&nlng or some trade. Some act

as . commissioners, lu the evening they quietly return at the appointed

time to the prison, and the jailer most

carefully identifies them before with­drawing the bolts for their admission.

Once a prisoner ventured to present himself at the gatesv of the prison in

a state of inebriety, and the Jailer

refused to admit hint. "To punish

you,” he said, "you will to-night sleep out of doors.’’ And the prisoner, it is recorded, in spite of tears and 'en­

treaties, was condemned to pass the

night outside of prison!

Sad Is Sad.A mother, who was rather fond of

the cheaper 10, 20, 30*cont melodrama,

one afternoon took her young daugh­ter, who had'grown to consider her­

self above that sort of thing.The daughter was bored, but the

mother was greatly Interested, and finally, when the heroine had got into

a seemingly inextricable position,

broke down and sobbed heartily.

“Mother; I wouldn’t cry here,1" whis­

pered the daughter significantly, ac­centing the last word.

‘‘Let me alque,” replied the other hysterically. “If a thing is sad, it’s

sad; I can’t cry according to price."— Life.

f Folly of the Farmer Who Becomes a Town Toller. _ I

-Sj) £ £ £ £ £ £ £ lUl’A'ilS

I have no sympathy with the unrest of our rural popu­lation. We are upon tbe eve of radical changes for the betr termeBt of country conditions. To-day the safest place for Investment Is the farm. Land values w ill increase rapidly w ith increasing population. They w ill more than double ln th irty years. Already the abandoned farms of New York and New England are being bought by capitalists for invest­ment. There is many a man planning to sell his paternal acres ln the country for a pittance and invest the proceeds ln a cottage in the town— and then earn the support of his fam ily by daily toil. I t is the act of an irrational man. He does not stop to th ink that that farm w ill give him a home and support an<J soon quadruple in value. He fails to note the posslbllties of rapidly increasing his wealth by the plant­ing of valuable trees, and he voluntarily exchanges the rights of a king and the privileges of a freeman for a daily wage and the badge of service.

The prosperity of the cities, so far as relates to the masses, Is illusory. -

The number of toilers who finally acquire a reasonable reserve for old age In the country as compared with the same class in the cities, Is as ten to one, taking the wh'ole country into account.

W hile the wage is high in the* cities, the costa of rent and living are in proportion. The multiplied attractions in­duce a habit of liberal spending, not conducive to economy.The small farmer may earn less, but he-can save more.— Dr.Seaman A. Knapp. *

How many of us ever think when

we light a match that we’re doing

more.damage in a year than all the

forest fires iu a decade? asks the New

York Pres3. Fact. We burn a trifle

of 700,000,000,000 matches every

twelve months. We keep 1^0 match

factories working overtime, and one

of these alonf* eats up 200,000,.fret

of yellow pine a day. The idea i1?

general that matches come from tho

by-products of wood-working mills.

Nothing of the liinfl. On tho conr

trary, exactly the reverse is the case.

Most of oui* window sashes, shade

rollers and doora are the by-products

of match factories. The match de­

mauds the best grade of two-inch

lumber. Thero are threc-seore fac­

tories in tl’e Great Laltos region, and

they turn. Into matches .225,000,000

of It is forests burned up ia matches

are not replanted. They do some

things better in France and Germany.

The following day Mrs. Cramer's

"W hy did they come, then?” asked Edward Heiner, sliding down pn his shoulder blades.

H is auditors were interested, but

uninformed. Tha question, however,- seemed flooded with ligh t a few days

later, when a certain drummer from Patchunk City arrived, abounding, as usual, in general information.

"Doesn’t t h l t yellow house belong to Judge Anger down in Patchunk C ity?” inquired the drummer.

"Yes, i t does," replied Heiner.The drummer, looking with satis­

A mining engineer I* ■imply sn «B|ln*er Hfigaged in m ining; nod the SBglnwering part of m ining comprises

the opening of mine#, the support of their wall* and roofs, the extraction

of or#, coal or roei, the hauling and hoisting of men and materials, the

drainage, lighting and ventilation of

the mine-working*. The** operations Involve civil, mechanical, electric or

hydraulic* engineering; and conse­

quently the m ining engineer must be

acquainted with ait these branch**

« peculiarity of his profession ts

that the work la largely done under­

ground, aad therefore involves some apecial difficulties and dapgers.

The penally for mistakes la aome-

lot of headaches, Uke bad ventilation in a building, but explosion and con­

on the whole, an extrabazardous or unhealthy occupation. Those of us

who spend much time underground

come to feel ourselves safer there

than anywhere else. Three or four

perils are constantly preient, and

must not be carelessly disregarded;

hut scores ot accidents which befall

the laborer on the surface never hap­

pen below.

The definition of a m ining engineer

whlcb I gave at the beginning omits

many things generally supposed to

belong to that profession. Tha truth

1s that, in this country especially,

m ining engineers often used to be, and sometimes still ftre, called upon

to perform many duties outalde of

m ining engineering ^proper.

Forty or fifty years ago there were

•> American schodls for m ining engi­neers, and the graduates of Euro­

pean schools were in great demand

to take charge of new m in ing enter­

prises. especially in the wild, unset­

tled regions of, the far West. They were employed, for instance; to aay

“whether a particular property, show­

ing signs of valuable ore, would be

profitable as a mine, and couid be

safely purchased at a given price for

tha t purpose.

*What Was, Expected of H im .

. This is something which cannot be positively declared by anybody. The

man who can form the most valuable

•opinion of it is the economic geolo­

gist, srho haa studied that particular

branch of geology, and has examined

a great many different mines in all

stages, so that he can, to some ex-

. tent, judge of the importance of the surface signs. He ought either to be

a m ining edgineer also, or else to

hAve the advice of a competent m in ­

ing engineer, because the manner and

cost of working the proposed mine

and of disposing ot the product are

part of his problem. But a first rate

m ining engineer, who has spent many years at one mine, may be not an

-economic geologist at all.

Then they used to'expect the m in­

ing engineer to know a li about every­

thing connected with the enterprise,

Including often the build ing and run­

ning of a stamp m ill or a smelting furnace, and the management of the

comtnerci&l part of the business.

Sometimes he knew enough to direct

*11 these departments. Generally, in

those days, he knew more than his

associates. But hla, knowledge in these particulars must have been, in

most cases, Incidental and superficial. Nowadays the geological, engineer­

ing, commercial and metallurgical de­

partments are much more clearly sep­

arated; but it ia atill an advantage

to a m ining engineer to be acquainted

with the principles and practice of the other departments.

The economic geologist aspires to

lliecome an "expert” authority, con­sulted by many different clients. The

metallurgist, beginning in the assay

office, hopes to be in time the super­intendent of great smelting works;

while the m ining engineer, starting

probably as a mine surveyor, has the

chance of rising to the position of

mine manager, and even o l general manager, " i f he has it in h im "— that

is, if, besides performing his otf n du­

ties faithfully and well, he shows, at every step ot promotion, a knowledge

o f the department next to his own.There are now a score of good

American schools in which m ining

engineering Is taught, and the supply of m in ing engineers is said to be

greater th^n the demand. I am not quite iu te 'ag to that; but this much

is certainly true— tha t the prizes in this profession are few, because the

number of large mines, calling for extremely able managers, is small,

compared w ith the number of estab­

lishments requiring good civil, me­chanical and electrical engineers.

On the other hand, 1 believe tha t tn this, as in every other profession,

there Is "room at the top," although nobody can hope tq reach the top

w ithout a long, hard climb.I receive many letters from-'hoys

who wish to become m ining engi- , neers, or from fathers who have this am bition for their sons; and it is evi­

dent that the writers have heard

about the large salaries paid to cer­ta in eminent m ining engineers, and

fancy that this profession offers a

quick and easy voad to wealth and fame. No mistake could be greater. I happen to know that the sensational

Btories upon which i t is based are reckless and monstrous exagger­

ations. But if reduced to the com­paratively modest proportions of truth , they simply ghow tbat certain

men receive as adVlsera, not merely as mining engineers, large salaries

and teas.This rank they have earned by

hard professional work, Incorrupti­ble Integrity and loyalty, and im ­mensely wide expei n 3, ‘t i ld e s the

good fortuno which gave them th#

opportunities they were brave to

seize and competent to see

A young law atudent may hope to

be g Judge, but he knows well enough that he muat prove himself a

good lawyer first, and that out of

thousands of good lawyers only u

few become famous and rich, and •till fewer receive'tbe highest honori of the bench.

The aame U true of our great m in­ing engineers. Their success may

serve to atlmulate ambition, but not

to measure the average reward, even

of Intelligent fidelity. And 1 must

add that in this, as In every other line, the all-essential element of suc­

cess Is a moral one. I am not writ­

ing for young men who are willing

to "get rich quick," at whatever cost

of character. Such persons can gam­

ble in m ining speculations, aa in many

others. And such gamblera do, I

,confess, sometimes win large sums, although of the many I have kno#n,

nearly a ll have lost their gains, as

well as their good name, before they got through.

But no man holds for years a po­

sition in which he is highly paid un- leaa he haa proved himself to be,.and

to have been always, not only tech­

nically competent, but conscientious­

ly careful and incorruptibly trust

worthy.

The Fascination of Hla Work.

After this wise, and per hap* some­

what tiresome warning, 1 may add,

without fear of misleading any

reader, that the profession of tbe

m ining engineer still presents, a l­

though perhaps not so abundantly as

ha lf a century ago, the prospect ot Interesting and even romantic adven

ture. Once the youth who yearned

“ strange countries for to see" joined

a crusade or a company of "free

lances " The romance of war has

been pretty completely destroyed,

now that one usually cannot see tbe

enemy at all, still less charge them

with a loud hurrah.Next to the fury of battle came the

fascination of ttffe sailor’s life. But

that, too, is gone. The whales have

been decimate^, the sails have given

place to tbe screw, and the ocean

mariner chiefly swabs decks or stokes

furnaces.

Then succeeded the era of the

hunting of big game as an outlet for

the energy and ambition of young

men. B ut the big game is already

scarce; a ll the bullaloes have been butchered; even President Roosevelt

cannot find a bear, except after many

days of tramping, w ith the aid of a hoat of men and dogs.

Meanwhile, as a substitute for all

these manly exercises, athletic sports

have come Into vogue. Yet even

these show some symptoms of deca­

dence, like those which presaged the

fall of Rome. To sit on benches and shout ( I believe the modern term is

"root," but w hy?), while others "do

or die,” Is not "athletic ," and cannot

satisfy, in that respect, the general

need of bodily exercise. O.ur sports

are train ing a chosen few only.Really, as it seemB to me, tbe one

worthy contest left for the young

men of the twentieth century is the

' contest witb the conditions and forces ,o f nature; the one worthy conquest

is the conquest of new realms for

civilization and Industry.More than half a century ago we

began this great campaign on our Pa­

cific slope; and "the w inning o i the Wefct" which followed was so glori­

ous a chapter of history tljat I have

often boasted of It to my younger col­leagues, telling them that whatever

they m ight achieve in this century, they could not surpass the last, be­

cause there were no more such worlds

to conquer. But \ have lived to w it­

ness sim ilar wonderB wrought in On­

tario, British Columbia and the Yu­kon Territory, as well as In our owu

Alaska, and to tfote in Mexico, In Cen­

tral and South America, In Africa.

Siberia and China the signs of a great new era of industrial progress.

In all such victories of modern civ­ilization the m ining engineer has

been the leader. I t was m ining that

Inspired the Spanish, conquerors of

Mexico and Peru, and*even furnished

to the European colonists in North America their commercial hope and

inspiration. I t was m in ing that set­

tled California, and afterward the whole imperial domain between the

Rocky Mountains and the Pacific.

Mining peopled and fostered the Aus­tralasian commonwealths, and trans­

formed the political and industrial

conditions of Africa.

Everywhere and always it has been tbe pioneer of all other indi^stries

nnd factors In human progress.Hence, even now, the m ining engi­

neer who chooseB to make the sacri­

fice ot home comforts may take part,

at the very front, in the world battle of the twentieth century. And he

need not fear that, whether at home or abroad, his life w ill be without

thrilling incident.Even in free America he may have

to stand with heroic fidelity in de­

fense of the property of his employ­

ers against violence, like Arthur Cpl- lins. Or in case of some awful Ca-

tastroph^, he may have to lead the

fbrlorn hope that descends Into the shadow of death, upop the slendej' chance of rescue; for noblesse oblige,

and the code of honor, among ns is that, upon such an errand', the engiv

neer goes at the head.Or he may have to encounter sav­

age or foreign foes, as did Pumpelly

and K ing and Janin in the days of the Apaches in Arizona, or some of our American engineers in tbe Traqjr

vaal, notably that illustrious hero,

George Labram, who performed un­paralleled feats of technical skill in the defense of Kimberley, and who was killed by a chance shot in the very hour ot victory.

H ie "Tightest Places.”

Borne years ago I was called, to

preside at one of the monthly d in­ners then held by the Engineers' Club of New York City. .A t many pre­vious dinners we had had toasts in honor of the various branches of the profession, including the army and

th# navy, with more or loss formal

snd tame replies; and everybody was

tired of that routine. On this ooca* aion, under a happy inspiration, 1

broke through the formal cuatom, aay ing to the company:

"Gentlemen! There will be no totals to-night. The1 subject for the

evening ia, 'W hat waa the tightest

place you ever wers in f'C ' M r.--- »,what was the tightest piacs you ever

Were In? ’*Ot course I had taken pains during

the preceding hour to get the promise

of aid from one or two of the m ining

englneera preaent. Bo my first and

my second man were*ready with their personal reminiscences. That wa#

quit* enough to start the lire One story brought out another, and when

we parted, In the small hours of tbe

morning, there was still a “ waiting

list” of speakers who had ,to be sup^ pressed. In fact, the same aubject occupied another whole night a

month later. «And what a thrilling aeries of stor­

ies we heard! Under the contagious influence of the hour, men told of ex­

periences whlcty they had never con­

fessed even to their wives or re­hearsed even to themselves, for fear

of reviving horrible dreams about

them. The majority of the speakers

were m in ing engineers, although the

experiences they described were not always connected with their profes­

sion— except so far as the frequent

explorations of m ining engineers

bring them into all sorts of "tight

places."Two had narrowly escaped death

in m ining shafts; one had fallen Into

a stormy sea, and had been washed

back to the ship's deck by a great wave; one had escaped from Libby

Prlsop; one, while gathering sped-

mens on a precipitous bluff bordering

the Bay of Fundy, had been cut oft

and chased up the bluff by the sudden

rise of the tide; one had bravely

faced a solitary, death In the Grand Canon of the Colorado, and saved

himself with almost Incredible skill,

presence of mind and providential

good fortune. And ao os, and so on.

I t was a memorable evening; yet tha t company had not been, in the

least degree, Selected with reference either to dramatic experiences or to

the ability to give dramatic accounts of them. And I honestly believe that

similarly exciting narratives could

be elicited from any causal gathering

of fifty m ining engineers, If they

were once "set a-golng,” in an In­

formal and colloquial way.

Yes, indeed, there is opportunity of adventure for a m ining engineer

who chooseB to put himself In the

way of it, or doeB not flinch when it

comes to him. And whether he trav­

els into far countries, or accepts

peaceful occupation nearer home,

there is always one means by which

he can prevent himself from being forgotten. If he w ill but closely ob­

serve and faithfully record '♦hat he

encounters in his own practice— no

matter in how humble a sphere— he w ill certainly be able, sooner or later,

to contribute to professional liter­

ature something which will be recog.

nixed as intelligent and useful. And as a result, somebody will invite him

to “ come up h ighe r!"— The Youth’s

[ tion in France, Captivated' by the

J exploits ot Llllenthal, which were I then being made widely known by

j Captain Ferber, And the reports of | the experiments, of the brothers

! W right In America, they began in

1903 a series of patient trials of ap- ! paratus. without motors of any kind,

I resembling that used by the Wrights.

I The difficulties and the dangers they

encountered In the course of their

1 experiments ultimately led them to : abandon the models they bad made

! and to produce an entirely pew type j ot machine of their own deilgn.

Out of these labors arose the bi­

plane flying apparatus, which is now | so well known, and one of which, un­

der the guidance of Farman, has just

, completed the journey from Chalons i to Rhelms, the first direct aerial voy­

age in a machine of jthis kind accom-

j pushed by human agency. Messrs.

j Voisin have just occupied entirely

j new works, which are kituated at Bil-

i lancourt, oa the outskirts o f Paris,

close to the exercising ground of Issy-

j leS'Moulineaux, where so many ex- | peri men ts in aviation are carried out.

* They comprise a very extensive erect-

j Ing shop, where at tha, present mo-

j ment four aeroplanes are in course of

j construction and are approaching ; completion ; a machine shop, where

the fitting up and adjustment of the

1 mechanical portion of the apparatus

Is undertaken, and an experimental

workshop, where trials are made with the bearing or sustaining surfaces of

the machines and where the motors are tested. ,

At the timS of a recent inspection the aeroplanes in bjind were all found

to be composed of a lengthy, splndle-

ihaped body, to which wings or sup­porting planes are applied. The

j steerin?; apparatus is placed at the

I front ead and at the rear are the ar­

rangements for imparting stability to the machine. Th? fusiform body,

i which is neither ihdre nor less than a

. trellbi girdle of special design, is

' madff to carry the screw propeller,

:he vnotor and the aeronaut. In the i bi-piane apparatus of the Farman

j typ-3 this body attains a length of ten

J meters and is constructed as follows:| Th? top and bottom members are of

i very dry ash wrought in the direction | of the grain of the timber. The wood

is chosen with the utmost care.and is j very straight grained, sound and ho-

| mogeneous throughout. The princi-

. pal pieces are four in number and are j inserted at each end into special steel

j plates or caps. These longitudinal

f timbers are braced together at inter­vals by wooden struts and are later­

ally cross-tied by steel wires which | constitute a series of triangles,

i The wings are composed of sur­

faces of rubber - coated canvas stretched on frames of poplar. The two upper and lower planes are un i­

ted by uprights of the same wood

i witb steel tension wires. The exact j form of the surfaces ot the planes is

j maintained by means of fillets of

curved wood fixed in the canvas

seams and carefully ascertained by [ previous experiments to be explained

ITater. The fusiform body has like­wise attached to it the metal frame­

work on springs which serves for the attachment of the cycle wheelB. This

spring frame also tends to deaden

any shocks caused in landing on the ground after flight, and it enables tbe machine to be propelled on Its wheels

at the necessary speed in order to make a start.

The assembling ot all thebe acces­

sories merely needs a large gallery or hall, where the apparatus can

readily be adjusted and taken apart, and the tools required are only those

usually found In a Joiner’s shop of

the ordinary kind. In the erecting shop there was an aeroplane of the

Farman type, with double planes; one of the Goupy type, with triple

planes, which was actually being

tested by Mr. Goupy. This Is’ an ap­paratus very similar to that of Far­

man in point of c6n9truction, bu t hav­ing three superposed plane surfaces

instead of two. There was likewise a biplane machine with a motor of

100 horse power of the Farman type, and. lastly, a monoplane machine now

being built for Farman, whlcb has a l­ready been described id the Times under the name of the "F ly ing Fish."

the title given to it by its future aero­

naut. A ll these various machines, in spite ot divergences in p^int of detail,

present a very marked generic char­acter. In . all cases the same' mate­rials are employed, and they are put

together on a uniform system; tho

forms of their sustaining surfaces and i ftie position of the single propeller in the front of the body are also alike

in every one of them. The mechani­

cal Workshops have in them nothing but what, is usually found in such

places. Here the various portions at the chassis are put together, the

blades of the propellers being fixed to their shafts. The shafts are made o j keel capable ot resisting a high

degree of stress and the blades are constructed ot alum inum .

to work This forcea the frame to

twist round to a certain angle, and from the amount of weight found

necessary to restore it to the horizon­

tal position It becomes readily posai- ble by a simple calculation to esti­

mate the sustaining power of the whole surface The brothers yolsin

investigate In this manner with great

minuteness and accuracy the suitable

forms for all tbe surfaces used In their aeroplanes.

The apparatus they have construct­ed hitherto hassuccessfully withstood

the tests of actual experience, and

their machines have proved tbeir sta­

bility under conditions analogous1 to those in which Mr. W ilbur Wright

has performed his marvelous flights. They possess, moreover, the advap-

tage of not needing a pilot of skill and experience, as ia the case with

tbe W right aeroplane. Their lateral stability is excellent, and in describ­

ing curves they automatically assume

the requisite degree of Inclination. The Voisin works can turn out tour

aeroplanes i month, and the cost of a

machine of the Farman type is £1000.The Voisin machines, however,

have not yet been used for flights ex­ceeding forty to forty-flve minutes in

duration, whereas W right has on aev-

eral occasions remained pff tbe

ground for nearly one and a half hours. The writer tyiked Messrs. Vol-

Bin if they could explain the cauae pf this inferiority in the respective per­

formances. It is no doubt tbe fault

of the motor, and this is the question

which just now is receiving serious attention on the part of the firm. The

extremely light motors which have

until* now been in use have not af­forded them complete sat4sfaction;

their construction is of too fragile a

type to assure sufficiently prolonged and steady running. These manu­

facturers are now engaged oh experi­ments with motors of various yforms. notably on a Panhard motor of 100

horse power, intended for their high­

ly powerful aeroplane, which seems likely to give great satisfaction.

For the present, therefore, efforts must be directed toward the improve­

ment of the motors employed, and Messrs. Voisin are confident that this

problem will shortly be solved. When

this has been accomplished aviation v.ill ceaae to be a mere sport and will,

they believe, become worthy to rahk

as a means of locomotion.— London

“There’s chap riding up,” he said.

"Cornin’ on at no end of a pace, too."

Stevens shaded his eyes with his

hand and stared across the plain. In

the mist rising from the rain-soaked ground he could just make o u t«the

djark form of a horseman coming rap­idly nearer and nearer.

“Wonder what he’s after, now?”<

queried Jake, embellishing his re­mark, aa was his wont, with refer­

ences to the Deity, his Satanic majes­ty, and the infernal regions.

The figure came nearer still. I t was

unrecognizable so far. Stevens didn't

know the horse; and a blue shirt, a I pali of moleskin trousers, and a flop

ha t are tod frequent In Queensland to j be u mark of ^identification.

Aud then the new-comer raised his arm and gave a ringing "Co-e-ee!”

Stevens started.

"It’s Mullins!” he said,

“Who’s he?”

“One of the men down at Watawa. Particular chum of mine.”

He smacked his nag across the

- flartks and started off to meet the ndr-comer. Mullins flung himself out oEthe saddle as he came up.

“Say, Mr. 8tovens, 'you’ve got to get right back-to Watawa!” he bellowed.

, “Get’ away right now."“Why, what’s up?”

“Miss Dorry. She's fair lit out for dying. You’re the only chap that can aftve her. She Keeps asking for you. HoW’s your nag?' Pretty fresh?’’

“But what’s the matter with herf’

“Nothin'.

leaped out Into the water; her forelegs

stretched out, one long, shapely pas­

tern above the other. She struck the

water wfth a resounding splash, atid

went nearly under. Then she rose again and struck out for the opposite |

side.

Stevens slipped out of the saddle

and swam beside her, one hand on the '

bridle.

The tide carried them down a yard

at a time; and when at last she strug­

gled ashore on the opposite bank, they ,

had to cast back nearly half a mile i

to the trail. Then away they went i

again.

The sun was beatiflg down on the |

man's bare head. His hat had been

swept off in the river. Things went

dim and misty every now and^hen. ;

He began to sway In his saddle once I

or twice. Only when the pony's stride j

began to slacken did he pull hint self

together and urge her ou again.

They topped a rise, and. the long, j

low buildings of the Watawa station

came into sight, beyond a stretch of j mallee scrub. At* last! Stevens.

brushed the hair back from his fore- !

head, and smacked (he pony gaily

on the neck. She shook her head and

whinnied plaintively.

“What’s up, old girl?" ho cried.

She stumbled on for a few yards and

then collapsed. He only just slipped j

out of the saddle in time.

stood looking dow'n af her. Her

bloodshot eyes were rolling, her breath j

came in deep gasps, her foam-flecked j

chest was heaving.

He knelt 'dow n and stroked her neck j

soothingly, murmuring soft words, of encouragement. In a little while she* |

responded, and struggled to her feel

He led her for a few yards, patting her !

and letting her feel her way gingerly

Then he clambered into the saddle i

and set her otf.

They plunged madly through the

mallee. The sharp thorns tore the ;

pony’s chest and flanks, and made j

great ugly t^firs in the man's breeches. |

Even his brown arms were scratched ,

and bleeding. But they struggled

gamely on, and at? last broke out of | the fringe of the mallee Into the grassy

paddock beyond. And then the nag

went down with a crash, flinging Ste­vens over her head. He sprang to his

feet, and stood there staring at her

dazedly. But she had foundered hope­

lessly thla tlmo.

Then he turned and ran towards the house, staggering bltytdly across the 1

grass

Dorothy lay back In wicker chair I

o n . the veranda, looking out »t tho rapidly deepening afterglow. Suddenly

a faint, hoarse co-e-ee came across the j

paddock. She looked up wonderlngly. A dark swaying form was coming to­

wards her. Instinctively she shaded

her tired eyes with a thin white hand.Then she sat up, her golden hair

streaming round her, her eyes strain- j ing to make out the new-comer’s face. It wasn’t— it couldn’t be—

And then with a sobbing cry of “Dorry!” he fell on his knees beside

her, and dropped his head upon her
