The Secret of Dropping Safely Into a Shallow Tank of Wate New York Herald. “What bothers most people who think anything about the subject,” said Kearnoy P. Speedy, a high diver, who began his pub- lie career by jumping head first from the St. Louis bridge four or five y ago, “is how a dive of fifty or sixty feet can be made into a tank of thirty-six inches of water. You see, they confuse diving with bridge jumping—quite a diflerent thing, Bridge jumpers are neither jumpers nor divers—they’re droppers; that is, they reach the lower rods of the bridge truss and drop feet foremost into the water. The trick From thi is to maintain the perpendicular. “They must have plenty of water under as them, too. The high yon have seen, makes a clear first, just as a boy does from a springboard in Swim- . I do it in very shallow water. I weigh, stripped, 180 pounds, and never do any training. I have been diving from the top of a circus tent all summer into a tank but seven feet wide, and into water but three feet deep. The shallow dive is E ble from the same principle thz or 1ifle shot meets the most the more powerful the impact. “You see, I give my body and head a slight inclination upward at the instant I strike the water, which causes me to pop out as a board would do, or an oar on the feather. I learned this trick in the St. Louts nata- terlum when a boy, practicing in shallow water and from a greater height. Then there is a certain elasticity in the water known to the high diver, but the trick is in the strike and turn, for water will break bones and crush chests, as many a man knows.” diver, resistance A vigorous but unavailing effort was made in the United States district court in Boston yesterday to have quashed the in- dictment against Rev. Frank Hyatt soa | pastor of the North Avenue Congregational Church, Cambridge. WHY IT WAS DELAYED. a A Mystery About ‘the City Post Office Explained at Last. These who have wiched the progress of the work of construction of the new city post office building=must have wondered why the work on thé tower was suspended when the sixth story was reached, while the remainder of the structure has pro- gressed as far as the,eighth or roof story. The conspicuous date line, promising in let- ters and figures of &Manite that the build- ing will be completelf‘and ready for the re- ception and delivery" of mail matter in “Anno Domini MDGOCXCVIL" has only one course of stone above, an ornamental frieze, and there the stone work stops, al- though the brick coixactor has proceeded with the other three sjdes of the tower and carried them up a cOfisiderable way in ad- vance of the stone front. It has been sur- mised by some intuitive persons that per- haps the department were in a calculative mood, and carefully watching the progres of the work, so that if it would seem to be impossible to complete the pust office in 1897, the date line could be changed and August 17, 1:43, or any other probable date substituted before too many courses had been piled on top of the granite inscrip- tion. These persons imagined that the au- thorities not caring to perpetuate a false- hood in so conspicuous a place had ordered work in the tower section to proceed slow- ly, in order to make a change easily pos- sible. It has transpired, however, that, owing to some oversight, the ornamental frieze work is shown on the plans two stories be- low where the bullders believe it should properly be placed. Originally the pia showed a cornice around the entire building at the top of the fifth story, but these plans were afterward amended So as to have the ecrnice set at the top of the seventh story and accordingly it has been so built. Bui in changing the plans, the ornamental course on the tower was forgotten. The ef- fect of this oversight, if carried out, would be to show a cornice around the entire building at a certain height, with the ex- ception or across the tower, where the line would drop two stories, giving an incon- gruous and pateh-work appearance. Appli- cation for a correction of the mistake has been pending in the architect's office for nearly four months, but the question has finally been settled, end the frieze work on the tower will be raised to its proper height to conform with the cornice around the rest of the building. Two additional courses of stone will be needed to make the change, and these have heen telegraphed for, and will be cut and shipped to the city as soon as possible. Then the work on the tower will be re- sumed and the stonework on the structure will be pushed rapidly to compietion. BY THE COURT OF APPEALS. Decisions Rendered in Several Inter- esting Cases. Among the decisions handed down in the Court of Appeals yesterday afternoon was that in the case of the Gottschalk Company against the Live Oak Distillery Company, in which arose the question of priority in the matter of judgment creditors. The court holds that the judgment creditor who s first establishes a priority of claim against a debtor who cannot pay in full. In the case of Harrison G. Brewer, who sted the District because of injuries re- celved by him in falling on a dangerous sidewalk on Brown street, Mt. Pleasant, the court reversed tho judgment obtained by Mr. Brewer, in iwhich he was awarded 0 damages, holding that the plaintiit contributed to his dwnInjury. Mr. Brewer was injured January 14, 1893, and the court holds that in taking a sidewalk which he nsafe condition, despite the fact that the District was responsible for its dangerous cdndition, Mr. Brewer be- came guilty of contributory negligence, and the court below, the Court of Appeals holds, uld have instrugted the jury to return a t in favor of the District. he judgment of the,court below in the of Milton M.

JAT INDIAN HEAD Lieut. Mason's Report on the Conditions and Repairs at the Proving Grounds. Grain Secured by Cultivating the Land — An Electric Light Plant Earnestly Recommended. Lieut. N. E. Mason, the naval officer in charge of the proving grounds at Indian Head, Md., has made a full report to the Navy Department of the many important tests of arms, armor, projectiles and powder conducted at that point during the past year. Since his last report he says that about 800 linnear feet of brick retaining wall has been completed, and in connection there- with a brick bomb-proof has been erected in tear of the range battery. From this retain- ing wall the hill has been sloped and sodded where practicable, in order to prevent the further sliding of the earth. The sand in rear of the three target structures for light plates, to the eastward of the range battery, has also been held in place by a brick re- taining wall. Firing Butt Repaired. No. 2 firing butt, the largest at the sta- tion, the top or roof of which has been badly damaged several times by twelve-inch and thirteen-inch projectiles, has been repaired and put in good condition again, the three- inch wrought iron plates of the top having been replaced by cast iron plates, six inches thick and of smaller dimensions. During the year thirty-five acres of land were planted in oats, from which have been harvested about 4) bushels of good oats, with eighteen tons of straw. About five tons of hay have also been cured and stored. Forty-two acres were planted in corn, from which it is expected to harvest about 400 bushels of geod corn, about 150 bushels of short corn and about nine tons of corn fod- der, From this showing, Lieut. Mason says, he is of opinion that the station will be en- lirely self-supporting in regard to fodder for the care of the stock. In concluding his report Lieut. Mason says: An Electric Plant Recommended. The quarters and buildings at the station are all lighted with ofl lamps, and it is in the interests of economy and also safety to light the station by electricity, and I am of the opinion that the necessary plant could he installed with the force now at this sta- tion without calling in outside skilled labor. Attention is again called to the necessity for erecting cheap dwellings for the leading men and boats’ crews. It is impossible to keep skilled white lapor at this station un- less they have some place to live with their families,and there is no suitable place for such people within ten or fifteen miles. Five families of the leading employes now occupy one of the old wocden buildings known us the Long house. This building was built about thirty-three years ago, and is now in a tumble-down condition and not worth any repairs. I have to recommend that a num- ler of small brick houses, not to cost more than $600 aplece, be built for housing these employes out of the brick manufactured at this station. At least six of them are neces- sary. ee ____ ARGENTINE’S PRESIDENT. Sener Dominguez Does Not Think His IMness Is Serious. Senor Dominguez, charge d'affaires of the Argentine Republic, is inclined to doubt the report from Buenos Ayres published in a New York paper yesterday that the ill- ness of President Uriburu is so serious he will not return to power. He says his latest adviees were to the effect the president was suffering from an attack of influenza, but that the Jisease while sufficiently serious to inconvenience him in the discharge of his duties id not threaten to become serious. dent Uriburu is a man of too stituiion to suc of induenza. 1 ablement of S who is president of of the permanent dis- ‘riburu, Senor Roca, the Argentine senate, Would succeed him, so that these would be ho break in the succession; consequently there is no cause for alarm in the situa- tion even if as s reported. i $100,000 BANK ACCOUNT. wi ‘n He Met Hix Bank's Paying Tel- ler in Cuba, w York World.

And we had a jolly time of it back on the boat.” ———__--+ e+ _____ Origin of Cripple Creck. From the Chieazo Times-Herald, “Why fs this old cowboy pasture called Cripple Creek?” was my first question on en- tering Arequa, a most dejected-looking camp, “Do you see that house there?” said the driver as we approached a broken-down shanty. “Yes; what of it?” Well, it was occupied by a family that cot invited to ce by some neighbors who lived several miles off. ‘Can't g0; we're all broke up,’ says the Arequa folks. ‘Sam's got the rheumatiks; Lize has a fever, Tom's broke his arm, the cow's broke her leg, and the horse is run away. But you come over to Cripple Creek and we'll do the best we can.’ Sure enough, the neighbors come over to ‘Arequa, and that’s the way the creck got called Cripple.” There is another lez to the effect that a cowboy fell while her a Steer in that creek. Steer, horse and rider came to grief. The horse broke his leg, the steer broke his neck and the rider broke his ym. I'm in ed to think the cowboy ver- sion is the truth. Once a letter sent from England was addressed to Lame Stream, It went direct to Cripple Creek, where received by the person for whom it intended. —_—_—_+e«e____ To Patrol Cuban Coasts. A New York paper says that the Spanish colony in that city has purchased a large steam tug frem the estate of Cyrus W. Field for $18,000, and will charter it to pro- tect the Spanish commercial interests in Cuba and ward off filibustering expeditions from the coast. The tug 1s 118 feet long and has 8 1-2 feet draught, with a bottom of iron and steel. It will be equipped with guns, and is to be called the El Cudillera, ‘after a village in Spain. In a trial trip around Staten Island the boat showed a speed of thirteen knots. As soon as it has been equipped it will be presented to the chief of the Sparish naval commission, Presi- j Ta a VT eT Those 3 and Capes We have the city.

Of all interesting aboriginal tribes of men there is no tribe more strikingly 90 than that known as the Arctic Highland- ers. The smallness of this tribe, its com- plete isolaticn and self-dependence, its extreme northerly locatien, the stress of hostile conditions under which it maintains its existence, the human interest connected with it as the result of the writings of Kane, Hayes and other arctic explorers, and the uncertainty as to its origin and early history, combine to place it at the head of the list. The study of this tribe and the collection of accurate information in regard to it has been one of the objects of my various ex- peditions, and the opportunities for such study. owing to the smallness of the tribe and its solitary imprisonment among the great arctic glaciers, together with its par- tictlarly kindly and tractable disposition, have made it possible to obtain many val- vable data in regard to its customs and » and in particular to obtain an abso- complete census of th2 tribe, with ethnological descriptions and photographs. In fact, the record, as at present obtained, i ot its equal in ethnological archives. record consists first, as above noted, complete census of the entire tribe, showing number, sex and approximate age; secondly, a record of the tribe by families, namely, husband, wife and childre1 hirdly, the 5 alogical trees of the tribe, showing the inter-relationship of every individual (in some cases four generations are shown); fourthly, anthropon:etrical measurements of about one-third of the tribe; fifthly, pho- tographie records of nearly every individ- ual.

Other photo- graphs show their houses and tents for winter and summer occupation, their ca- weapons and implements, as s of dress. Theories of Their Origin. ‘The material thus obtained cannot fail to establish something definite in regard to the origin and early history of the tribe. Of this origin there are several theories, perhaps the most prominent of which is the one advanced by Mr. Clements Markham, the distinguished president of the Royal Gecgraphical Society. This theory is, in brief, that these people are the remnants of an ancient Siberian tribe, the Onkilon, the last remains of which, driven from their homes and out on to the Arctic ocean by the flerce waves of Tartar invasion in the middle ages, p: di to the new Siberian Islands and thence gradually over or along lends as yet undiscovered, perhaps even s¢ the pole to the northern Greenland zo and Grinnell Land, and thence rd in different streams, as shown today bh the Eskimo on the east coast of Greenland, the Eskimo of the present Dan- ish colonies, the Arctic Highlanders and the Eskimo of northern North America and the American Arctic archipelago. mong other facts upon which this theo- is grounded is the strong resemblance of the stone dwellings of the Artic Highland- ers to ruins of similar dwellings discovered in Siberia, There are also apparent striking physical resemblances. It would seem as if this theory was likely to be borne out by ac archipel: southwa the additional facts obtained.

From Harper's Bazar. passing THE TEXAS RANGERS. An Organization for the Prompt En- forcement of the Law. From the Memphis Avalanche. There are at present about 200 rangers In Texas. They are separated into companies and are kept on the borders for the most part. They live in the open air the year round. Nearly every night in the year, rain or shine, they have only the sky for a roof and the bare ground for a bed. Their pil- lows are their saddles. They live the hard- est, roughest of lives, and danger is their delight. They are all young men—too young to count the cost when duty is to be done and odds faced. They are made up of the flower of Texas manhood. A wild, yelling, cursing cowboy is looked upon with contempt by them. They depend upon their six-shooters and carbines, their coolness and marksman- ship, the known courage of their comrades and the fact that they are backed by the law of the state, and opposition to their will is a thing to be put down at all hazards with an iron hand. The governor of Texas is the chief officer of the rangers. What he says is law to them. The sheriff, the police, the militia must not stand in thelr way if the rangers have orders from the governor. The ranzera hold individually as much power as any sheriff in Texas. They hold more. They are not bounded by county lines. They may summon a posse at any time to assist them in_ making arrests. The section which the rangers police is jarger in area than all of New England, and it is of such a character that were it not for their work it would be given over to law- lessness and disorder. The rangers are sent to those sparsely settled sections of the country where opportunity for escape from the regular peace officers is afforded. Whenever a sheriff is unable to cope with lawlessness he calls on the governor and the rangers are sent to take charge. Many times in the past has the governor of Texas ordered the rangers to go to counties where the sheriff was in sympathy with the lawless element, and in such cases they have acted independently and without regard to the wishes of the sheriff or other officers. The rangers are paid $40 a month and their rations and arms and ammunition are fur- hed by the state. They provide their own the state paying for them if they are They are unincumbered with bag- gage. They will take the saddle at a m notice to go on a scout of a month’ duration. They have no uniform. They have no military discipline, as discipline is generally understood, but they obey their officers and will go with them to certain death without a murmur. = =< PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. And When Exercised Long Enough Will Wear Out a Stubborn Mule. From the Detroit Free Press. As the road turned around the hill I came upon a mule and a cart and a man. The wheels of the cart had sunk down into a mudhole, and the mule stood with head down and ears lazily working to and fro, As for the man, he lay on his back in the shade of a tree and seemed to be taking solid comfort. ‘What's the matter?” I asked, as he sat up and looked at me. “Mewl has balked,” he slowly replied. “You mean that he has refused to pull the cart out of the mud?” a big load and small mule.” T Why don't you give him some Us agin my principles. I've yelled at him and I've licked him till I'm tired, but I'll be dog-goned if I take anything off that load or boost that cart! No, suh—we stay right yere till the pesky critter gits up and humps hisself and pulls that cart out o’ the mud.” ‘Then, you are not in a hurry?" T queried. o, sah, no hurry ‘tall,”” he replied, as he hitched back to get more shade. “My son Dan is plowin’ out co'n with the cow, the ole woman Is xin’ up the fences, and I've a gallon of whisky and a pound of ter- backer in the cart. It’s a question of bein’ nd if I can’t stay sot longer’n a $30 then I'd better move out of Ala- bamy.” Five days later I met the man at Green- ville and asked him how the “sotness” came out. he replied, with a grin. “Wall, I camped right thar fur two days and a-singin’ hymns and restin’ up ant a@ good time, and then that mewl, a in’ that when it cum down to sotness he wasn’t in it with me, took right holt and pulled that cart outer the mud and galloped all the way home!’ SS SS Drinking Fountain for Birds. ‘The Tree Planting and Fountain Society of Brooklyn has taken up a branch of work in which it hopes to arouse general interest. Its latest effort is to secure the erection of fountains for birds in the parks, and in private grounds that are large enough to warrant It. The fountain designed to sup- ply birds with places where they may con- stantly have fresh water for bathing and drinking consists of a shallow basin about four feet in diameter, in the center of which “Dear me, Jennie, here comes that awful Mr. Bowers. “Awful? Why, I thought you liked him better than any other man in this world.” “I do; and I am afraid he'll find it out.” isa spray. The fountain ts elevated upon a standard to the height of seven feet, thus affording the bird protection from the attacks of cats, The supports are so arranged that they may be used for climbing vines or movable plants, Similar fountains may be placed upon brack- ets on the sides of buildings, or in other cofi= venient places, and may be made to orna- ment a flower garden, a lawn, or a grove, In urging the adoption of these fountains, the society says that it is often difficult for birds to get water during dry weather, and in localities remote from running streams the birds may have to travel miles for @ drink of water or a bath. ee NEGLECT OF THE HAIR OFTEN D) vitality end natural bue, and causes it to fall Eefore it is too lute apply Hall's Bair @ sure remedy.
