Upon returningto the khan, an hour later, I find there a man whom I remember passing on the road; he was riding u donkey, the road was all that coul«hm desired, and I s\\'«‘LN past him at racing speed, purely on the impulse of the moment in order to treat him to the abstract sensation of blank amuzement, This mmpromptu nction of mine 13 now bearing its ligitimate fruits, for, sur- rounded by a most attentive audience the wonder-struck donkey-rider is en- deavoring, by word and gesture to im-. press upon them some iden of the speed at whicl lswnrt pust him and vanished round a bend, ~ The kahvay-jee now nYnmuchcs m¢, puffing his cheeks out like n_penny balloon, “andjorking his thumb in the direction of the straet Xpor, Secing that I don't guite compreh the nieaning of this mysterious contortion, ho w! s confidentially amdo Pasha, Bovs thirough the highly-ints ting performance of pufling out his cheeks and winking in a knowing manner; he then says—also confidentially and aside—*"lira,” winking even more signiticantly than before. The last party of sight-scers for the day call around near midnight, sometimes after I have retired to sleep; they awaken me with their garrulous observations concerning the bicycle which they are itically examining close to my head with a classic Inmp; but I readily forgive them their nocturnal intru: . since they awaken me to the first opportunity of hearing women wailing for the dead. A dozen or so of women are wailing forth their lamentations i the silent night but a short distance from the khan; I can lock out of a small opening in_tho wall near my shake-down, and see them moving about the house and promises by the l\i(fiwflnggl:\ru of torches. I could never have believed the female form divine capable of producing such doleful, W c:utlxly music; but there is no telling what thege shrouded forms are really capable of doing, since the opportunity of pas one’s judgment upon their .complishiment is confined solely to an asional glimpse of a languishing eye. The kahvay-jee, who is acting tho part of explanatory lecturer to these nocturnal visitors, explains the meaning of the wailing by pantomimically describing a corpse, and then goes on to explain that the smallest imaginable proportion of the !amentations that are making night hideous is genuine grief for the departed, most of the uproar being made by a body of professional mourne hired for the on.

A chicago newspaper man tells in the Herald of that city an experience heonee had riding in & Nevada lumber flume. “Lumber flumes in the Sierra Neva ' he said, *‘ave all the way from five to forty miles long. They bult on a regular engi ne The bed of the flume 1s made of nch pank in the form of a V, the sides of the V' being from eighteen to twentv-six inches high. They are built on a grade of about_six- teen feet drop to the thousand. They carry eight inches of water in the acute angie, and di rge it at the rate of 400 miner’s nches a minute. In other words, turn in your water at the head of the flume, and it will earry a log weigh- ing 400 pounds with a_ velocity greater 1 the fastest engine that was ever 0. The log’s displacement just about the V, without any more friction 1 neces to keep it in place. *About niné years ago I was upat Lake Tahoo with K. W. Smalleyand W. H. Patton of the Mackey & Fair Lumber Company. Patton was showing us the gihioh Wallit coms up from Carson City, sixteen miles by stage, and it 2 hot and tedious ride. About sundown Patton said: ‘Boys, we'll go home by the flume, and we'll get there a little quick- er, I think.” “He directed a man to bring out the yacht, as he called it. This was a V- haped canoe about fourteen feet long. very shallow, and made to fit the flume and just about fill it with the displace- ment of 600 pounds. The yacht had a brake--two rubber pads onm cither side, worked with a lever, and so applied against the sides of the V flume that on pressure it would hift the yacht gradually and allow the lightning current to pass under her. She also had two small rub- ber wheels, one on either bow, to keep her n, nding the sides of the flume as she went by curves. “‘Now, boys,” suid Mr. Patton. ‘button up your couts, tie down your hats, and Lold’on. Don't'get scared. Trust your lives to me for the next haif hour. 1" sailed in llh' yacht before, and 1 know she's stanch, “Phora wara threa seats.

That was vigged just like u ship’s rudder, with a rubber wheel to ease ofl her stern ‘against the side of the flume 1f she got to yaw- ing. Patton told his men to put on’ two inches more of water, and then, with a wave of his hat, we ‘weighed anchor. Great Scott! how that thing jumped! Smalley got seasick. I jummed my helm hard down, but Patton yelled through the air. Let her go; I've got her!” And alo grazing near apparently tell o some- what difterent story. The “women and children seem mostly engaged in manu- facturing cakes of tezek (large flat cakes of buffalo manure mixed with chopped straw, which are ‘‘dobbed’’ on the outer walls to dry. It makes very good fuel, like the “buffalo ehips’’ of the far west), and stacking it up on the house-tops,with provident forethougat, for the approach- ing winter, Mhough they are Osmanli Turks, the women of these small villages appear to make small p vering their faces.

One of the transient horsemen, & contemplative young man, the promising appearance of whose up per lip proclaims him something over twenty, announces that he likewise is on the way to Yuzgat: and that after listen- ing attentive Iu_mf’ expluanations of how a wheelman climbs mountains and overcomes stretches of bad road, he solemnly inquires whether a eyeler could seurry up & mountuin slope all right, it some” one were to follow behind and toueh him up oceasionally with a whip, in_the persuasive manner required in driving horse. He then prodoces a rawhide “persnader,” and ventures the opinion that if he followed close b me to Yuzgat, and touched meup smartly with it whenever we camo toa mountain, or a sandy road, there would be no cessity of trundling any of the way.

We plunged down the mountain with & speed that no steam could give. Trees flew by like spec Looking ahead down the narrow thread-like flume it seemed like a plunge to destruction. Several times the flume carried us over a high trestle. It seemed like leaping over a precipice. Smulley held his breath, but the little yacht jumped it through the air apparently with a swish. Curves would show themselve ahead, The rad- der wheel would squeak on either side, and the good ship’ would round that curve like « flash. Sometimes an un- evenness in the flume would ogeur, and then, as the eraft sped over it, the spray rise fifty feet in the air on your hats!" shouted Patton; as_we struck o straight live-mile reteh, ‘Now hold on to your teeth, 1 don't exactly know what the next gensation was, but 1 triy to peep out from under the rim of my hat, and, my soul, it was all a blur—trees, rocks, land- scape W all mingled inan indistin siishuble mass. 1t was as one wus tlm\u throagh the wapult “Well, from the weighed anchor ‘up at Lake Tubioe until Patton put on ais hrakes jnst the lumber at Carson City it secim i A minute ortwo, Weall looked at our watehes.
