The Cum of larthtuku,
With ui Voleaaoca.
“When I lived among the Dakotas,”
said an ol$l army officer, “1 found men
wbo, like Bnddha, gave aeven years of
their lives to prayer and fasting, that
■they might become pure in the sight of
God, or the Great Spirit, aa they call
that being. After they have proved
themselves before their people by per-
forming so called miracles, such as
bolding their bands and arms in boil-
ing water and not being burned, shot
with poisoned arrows and not harmed,
bitten by rattlesnakes and not poi-
soned and many other testa that I have
witnessed, they are accepted aa holy
or wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get the word direct from God,
or the Great Spirit, the same as the
wise men and seers of old used to do.
I have asked these intelligences to tell
me about the cause of earthquakes and
tidal waves, and they explain it like
this:
“They say volcanoes are the safety
valves of toe earth; that the rim of toe
earth Is gradually cooling. As it cools
It contracts, making toe pressure on
toe hot lava In the Interior greater. At
last something must give way, this
rim must crack open, or the volcanoes
must burst forth and emit this com-
pressed lava. I
“Sometimes it Is relieved in one way,
sometimes in another. Should the
earth crack In midocean, where toe
crust is usually thinner, then toe wa-
ters of the ocean fill in, and there la a
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava, large masses
of toe rim are thrown np, and ldands
appear. Sometimes they stay <m the
surface of the ocean, sometimes they
fall back and are again covered with
water, but that upheaval so lifts the
water that a great wave la started for
the shore that carries death* and de-
struction in Its way. ' -
“Many of toe old safety valves in
the earth are now closing up; only a
few remain. The crust Is becoming so
thick that the cooling process is more
slow.”—Seattle Times.

That Hla Elantie Web Will Bear.
Long before man had thought of the
•aw toe saw fly had used toe same
tool, made after toe same fashion and
used In the same way, for the purpose
of making silts in the branches of trees
so that she might have a secure place
to deposit her eggs. The carpenter bee,
with only the tools which nature has
given her, cut* a round bole, the full
diameter of her body, through thick
boards and so makes a tunnel by which
she can have a safe retreat In which to
rear her young. The tumblebug, with-
out derrick or machinery, rolls over
large masses of dirt many times her
own weight, and the sexton beetle will
In a few hoars bury beneath the ground
the carcass of a comparatively large
animal. All these feats require a de-
gree of Instinct which In a reasoning
creature would be called engineering
skill, but none of them , is as wonder-
ful as the feats (performed by the spi-
der. This extraordinary little animal
has the faculty of propelling her
threads directly against the wind, and
by means of her slender cords she can
haul up and suspend bodies which are
znany times her own weight.
Some years ago a paragraph went the
rounds of the papers in which it was
Bald that a spider had suspended an
unfortunate mouse, raising it from the
ground and leaving it to perish misera-
bly between heaven and earth. Would
be philosophers made great fun of the
statement and ridiculed It unmerciful-
ly. I know not how true It was, but I
know that it might have been true.
Some years ago in the village of Ha-
vana In the state of New York a spider
entangled a milk snake in her threads
and actually raised it some distance
from the ground, and this, too, in spite
of the struggles of the reptile, which
was alive.
By what process of engineering did
this comparatively small and feeble In-
sect succeed in overcoming and lifting
up by mechanical means the mouse or
the snake? The solution is easy
enough if we only give the question a
little thought.
The spider Is furnished with one of
the most efficient mechanical imple-
ments known to engineers—viz, a
strong elastic thread. That the thread
ilrstrong is well known. Indeed, there
are few substances that will support a
greater strain than the sllkVif the silk-
worm or the spider, careful experi-
ment having shown that for equal sizes
the strength of these fibers exceeds that
of common iron. But notwithstanding
Its strength the spider’s thread would
be useless as a mechanical power If It
were not for Its elasticity. The spider
has no blocks or pulleys, and therefore
it cannot cause the thread to divide up
and run in different direction*, but the
elasticity of the thread more than
makes up for this and renders possible
the lifting of an animal much heavier
than a mouse or a snake. This may
require a little explanation.
Let us suppose that a child Hn lift
a six pound weight one foot high and
do this twenty times a minute.. Fur-
nish him with 350 rubber bands,'each
capable of pulling six pounds through
one foot when stretched. Let these
bands be attached to a wooden plat-
form on which stands a pair of horses
weighing 2,100 pounds, or rather more
than a ton. If now the child will go to
work and stretch these rubber bands
singly, booking each one up as it Is
stretched,*in less than twenty minutes
he will have raised the pair of bones
one foot
We tons see that'the elasticity of the
rubber bands enables the child to di-
vide the weight of horses Into 350
pieces of six pounds each, and, at the
rate of a little less than one every
three seconds, be lifts all these sepa-
rate pieces one foot so that the child
easily lifts this enormous weight
Each spider’s thread acts like one of
the elastic rubber bands. Let us sup-
pose that toe mouse or snake weighed
half an ounce and that each thread Is
capable of supporting a grain and a
half. The spider would have to connect
the mouse with the point from which
It was to be suspended with 150
threads, and if the little quadruped
was once swung off bls feet he would
be powerless. By pulling successively
on each thread, and shortening it a lit-
tle, the mouse or snake might be raised
to any belgbt within the capacity of
the building or structure in which the
work was done. So that to those who
have ridiculed the story we may justly
say, “There are more things In heaven
and earth than are dreamed of in your
philosophy."
What object the spider could have
had in his work I am unable to see. It
may hare been a dread of the harm
which the mouse or snake might work
or It may have been the hope that the
decaying carcass would attract files,
which would furnish food for the engi-
neer. I can vouch for the truth of the
snake storyt however, and the object
of tbia article Is to explain
credible a very extraordinary «** «

A Hindoo practice to induce sleep is

Coin to CoigrrM,
A poor man had letter keep out of
congress. Campaign expenses are
heavy and they come every two years.
No man can go to congress without
neglecting his law practice or his busi-
ness. If he is a poor man he will
probably lose bis clients or bis custom-
ers; a small business or practice will
not support partners or managers.
After a few years In congress nine
qjjtn out of ten are beaten for renomi-
nation, and then, If they hare not a
fortune or an established business to
fail back on, they will try to get some
small salaried place under the govern-
ment and may not be successful.—

MORTGAGE IN A BALLOON.
Hovel Hauer la Which a Chnrph
Rained Its Debt.
As a small balloon recently rose from
toe lawn of the Church of Our Lady of
Good Counsel at Bryn Mawr. Pa., It
took with it the last evidence of the In-
debtedness on tbe church property,
says tbe Philadelphia Press. The pas-
tor, Rev. J. j. Fedigan, and his congre-
gation took that novel method of cele-
brating tbe paying off of a mortgage
of $12,000.
The mortgage was attached by a cord
to the balloon. Just as the latter was
let loose the pastor touched a match to
the document The balloon sailed up
Into the sky with the blazing paper
trailing below, and the pastor and con-
gregation Joined In a silent prayer of
thankfulness that their beautiful
church was at last free from debt
Within three years the congregation
has paid off a debt of $17,000 and has
expended another $10,000 In Improve-
ments to the grounds and edifice. Oth-

Panhandle Jack, the famous fox ter-
rier known to thousands of employ-
ees of the Pennsylvania railroad. Is
soou going to travel from Chicago
around toe world, says a special dis-
patch from Chicago to the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Officials of the road
are arranging the trip and say their
Jack will be the first dog to circle toe
globe alone. They believe Jack will
not be lost, but will take as goori-t^re
of himself as a person and get hoax
safe and sound.
A tag will be attached to Jack's col-
lar, giving bis place of abode and bis
name. In addition a letter written on
parchment will be attached. Thla let-
ter will give the life history of Jack
and the Itinerary of bis around toe
world trip.
From Chicago to San Francisco Jack
is to travel over the 8anta Fe In the
care of an express messenger. At San
Francisco Jack will be placed aboard
one of the Pacific Mall steamers bound
for the orient.
The voyage will lie by way of Hono-
lulu to Japan, thence to tbe Philippines
and Hongkong. At the latter port a
steamer plying between there and Cal-
cutta will be taken, and Jack will
soon find himself In the metropolis of
India. Across India to Bombay by rail
will be the next step, and there tbe
tramp dog will be placed aboard a
steamer that will carry him through
the Red tea and by way of the Suez
canal to Port Bald.
From this port Panhandle Jack will
take a voyage on the Mediterranean to
Naples, and then Austria, Germany and
France will be vialted by rail. Tbe
plan la to have Jack placed aboard a
steamer at Bordeaux, France, and then
proceed to England, sailing from Liv-
erpool to New York city, and from tbe
latter point to Richmond.
Panhandle Jack Is regarded as tbe
most wtadarfal an Iras I traveler In the
world. Me -was the proud pet of a fam-

An engineer took a liking to him and
gave him a ride In toe cab of his en-
gine to Cincinnati. Jack made friends
at the Union station In Cincinnati, add
soon be was taken on another trip by
another engineer.
Finally Harry Center, a fireman,
took him from Cincinnati to Richmond,
