LEGENDS 0 HAUNTED HILL.
Traditions of F.nva his.l Duto Tint Are
Flouting Arnun-l A'.n nir Iho ludians.
Haunted hill, iu Frazior, on tho road
from Spriagvillo tor Fottcrville, is an
odd-looking mnnnd wliicli is wrapped
up in the myt.l"rk'8 of several Indian
legends, nayx tlic Tulare (Cal.) Times.
Some of the traditions were told to us
in 1874, wheu we first visited this re
gion, and ever since we have endeav
ored to learn the true btories. Tho In
dians are scattered and their legends
are difficult to ohtain; those possessed
of intelligence will not or do not care
to talk. Hut from white men living
here many years ago, and who learned
to speak in the ludian language, we
have gathered the partial narrative of
the legends of Haunted hill, known in
the Indian tongue as "Wailing moun
tain." Two legends are told one a tale of
Indian love and jr-alousy, the other the
story of a dreadful omj fatal battle be
tween the Tule river Indians and their
enemies, the Me deaus residing near
San Diejro, in this state.
Rer-urdinir trie first tradition but
scanty details can be obtained. It is
probable the older of the legends and
the time of its origin i':i'. s lurk ages
ago, and it !i:s Wn h-.mi!.-i il lv. n from
parent to C'.i: I rstt-inp- the Tulare In
dians for lnmihvi!'! of years. This
much oiiiy eau l.1 i .inu-il: A tribe liv
ing on the han't'- nf the Tele east of the
hill g.ive ori. r.i ! tie.' l.'a'end. Among
some uiem.i'is of the t.-ibe a bitter
jealousy ai'""e, hnviii-f love for a
source. A l.teiion havini; won the af-
leetums 01 mx -..-o-a -a, lae rivals re
solveii oi siirt ''tii.ir.' r. veiie. Abiding
time and w.ihui r a;i uiitffi.mled hour,
they pm-sited fiw w.nrten to the top
of Wailiii,.' in mat ain and lae.rdored
them. Every ni;'.;, the Indians aver,
the ground on the Miminit opens and
the six women up'ar. oy.I,v to vanish
instantly. Since tliei; iuh Indian will
visit the hill at ui-vht.
The other le 'end is perhaps the more
authentic; it h the one sadly told by
the few surviving members of the once
prosperous and numerous Tulare In
dians. In brief, it is this: ' The Mexi
cans from southern California were
wont to make raids into this valley and
drive away the ponies of the Indians.
Armed with superior weapons, they
could defy the Indians. Driven to des
peration, the natives resolv ed to offer
battle, and, if possible, drive the ma
rauders from the valluy, otherwise to
crush them. Lcaruin this, the Mexi
cans came in larger numbers, prepared
for the trial of strength. The opposing
forces met in the valley at the base of
the hill.- Tho-Indians,- terrified at the
Mexican weapons and tho slaughter
among their numbers, lied to tho top of
the hill. Thorc, crouching behind the
many rock ledges, they made a last des
perate but ineffectual stand. Soon the
Mexicans gained the crest, when disor
der again prevailed among the Indians,
large numbers falling at eaeh volley
from their enemy. Only the more cow
ardly escaped, the real warriors dying
amid the rock piles, for no quarter was
asked or given. It is told that five hun
dred Indians perished that day at the
base and on the summit of this hill,
which ever since is known to the Indi
ans as tho "Wailing mountain." Pass
ing the hill at night the Indians say
that the piteous wailing of the slain can
be distinctly hoard, hence its name and
its dread to all aborigines of the Tulare
valley
j
NOT HEREDITARY. '
You May Get Consumption In Various
Ways, Hut Not by Itlrth.
The accumulation of evidence is be
coming so great that every physician of
experience is forced to share tho belief
of the communieability of consumption.
There are also few physicians who have
not had one ormore cases that for years
they had thought had been contracted
In this way, writes Dr. Chappcll, in the
North American Review. How else
than by communication are we to ac
count for the rapid spread of consump
tion amongst savago nations, where
this disease was unknown before civil
ized people began to visit them? This
is true of our own American Indians,
the inhabitants of Central Africa and
many other countries. Intermarrying
or any other condition which might
make hereditary transmission a possi
ble cause certainly could not account
for its rapid progress. Besides, some of
the best observers and investigators be
lieve that consumption is not heredita
ry, and there is much positive evidence
in favor of this view. With such evi
dence of the possibility of inhaling the
bacilli the question would naturally be
asked: How do the bacilli get into the
atmosphere when they are not found in
the breath of sufferers of this disease?
We know positively that in these cases
bacilli are present in the mucus which
is raised after coughing. In its moist
condition it is impossible for it to be in
haled, but when it dries and becomes
lust it is blown about, and it is in this
form that it becomes dangerous.

The city in Europe which makes the
best showing, so far as morality is
concerned, is Athens. Within tho
memory of the present generation,
there has been no single matrimonial
scandal that has taken place in the so

latter is about the only capital in the
world which is absolutely without any

they have sot already done so, in order
to seoure tbe benefit of the early filing

CONCERNING DYNAMITE.
Several Million Diillui-H luvo-.teil In Its
Manufacture In the I'uited States.
Very few people have a correct idea
of what dynamite is, of what it is made,
and the uses to which it is put. To the
French belongs the honor of its discov
ery ond its practical use.
Jcitro-glycenne is the force of all high
explosives. Dynamite is the name most
usually given to these explosives,
though other names are sometimes used.
Dynamite, says the Detroit Free
Press, is simply nitro-glycerine mixed
with various ingredients. Kitro-glyccr-
ine is made by mixing sulphuric and
nitric acid with sweet glycerine, the
same that is used by the ladies to pre
vent chapped hands. Mixing the acids
and glycerine is whero the great dan
ger lies in the making of nitro-glycerine.
The mixing-tank, or agitator, as
it is called by dynamite makers, is a
large steel tank, filled inside with many
coils of lead pipe, through which, while
the mixing is in progress, a constant
flow of ice water is maintained. This
flow of ice water is used to keep the
temperature of the mix below eighty-
five degrees, as above that point it
would explode, and a hole in the ground
would mark where the factory had
been. The nitro-glycerine is stored in
large earthenware tanks, which are
usually sunk in the ground to guard
against blows or severe concussion.
The other ingredients for making
dynamite are: N itrate of soda, which
is found only in Chili, carbonate of
magnesia and wood pulp.
Dynamite is put in paper shells
usually one and a quarter inches in
diameter and eight inches in length,
and weighs about one-half pound to
each" shell or cartridge. " It has largely
taken the place of black powder for
blasting, as it is many hundreds of
times stronger and consequently more
economical. It is used chiefly in mining
all kinds of ores, coal and rock and
submarine blasting and railroad build
ing. Without its aid many railroads,
especially those crossing tho Rocky
mountains, could not have been con
structed; without it Hell Gate in New
York harbor could not have been de
stroyed, and without it the miner, at
prices now paid for mining ores, could
not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar; it will burn with
out explosion and freezes at forty-two
degrees, ten degrees above ordinary
freezing point. The bomb of the an
archist is made of metal or glass and
filled with pure nitro-glycerino ar
ranged so as to explodo by severe con
tact with any hard object. These
bombs are, of course, never made by a
reputable dynamite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are in
vested in the manufacture of dynamite
in the United States, and its use is con
stantly on the increase. The fumes of
mtro-glyeerine produce intense head
ache, which can be cured by taking a
very small dose of it internally.
EXCHANGE IS NO ROBBERY.
A. Thtef and a Vuorrant Traded Identities
for Mutual Advantage.
Here is a bald statement of facts, says
the Pall Mall Gazette, and it reads like
an ingenious bit of fiction. It only
happened recently, and tho authority
is the report of the police oiliee. A poor
man wandering iu the Paris streets
came up to a constable and entreated to
be arrested. He said he was penniless
and hungry, and tliat at the lockup he
would at least r-et a bed and a break
fast. The c able took him at his
word took h. . in fact, into custody
and he was loi . 1 up for the night. In
the lockup he in t a thief, whose ante
cedents were rather troubled, but who
had great hopes for the future if he
could ouly escape. The one wanted lib
erty, the other wanted money, and they
had all the night to make their arrange
ments. When the morning came a bar
gain was struck. The thief was able
either to produce or Ut guarantee fifty
francs, and in consideration of that it
came to a change of identities. When
the roll was called over each of the two
prisoners answered for tbe other. The
thief came in for some pity, some sym
pathetic advice and his liberty. lie ac
cepted all three and made immediate
and excellent use of the last. The other
prisoner was "put back." Hut the fraud
was discovered it was almost inevita
ble that it should. He was brought up
again and sentenced to fifteen days' im
prisonment for conspiring to defeat the
ends of just!ce. The report says he was
delighted with the sentence and re
turned to his cell in triumph. The story
would have seemed improbable in a
novel; but fancy the satisfaction of th
bona-fide thief when he read the report.
LIGHT OF COMING DAYS.
A Scientist Thinks I'liosphoreseent Glow
j. Will Supersede Electricity.
It seems hard to believe that in a very
few years the incandescent lamp, which
we now regard as in many respects an
almost perfect light, will be regarded
as a crude makeshift, which mankind
availed itself of while science stood on
the threshold of the discovery of the
perfect luminant. Mr. Tesla hus shown
iu his experiments an ideal form of
electric lighting which would transcend
in luxury and convenience our present
system of electric liirhting hv incan-
aescent lamps so tar as tne latter tran
scends the oil lamps and tallow dips
used by our near ancestors. Every
drawing room would become an electric
field in a continual stntcof rapidly alter
nating stress, in which the occupants
would live, experiencing no unpleasant
effect whatever, while vacuous tubes
or phosphorescent globes and tubes,
without care or attention, would shed
a soft, diffuse light of color and intensi
ty arranged to suit tho most luxurious
fancy. Mr. Tesla's watchword is that
the phosphorescent glow is the light oi
of the future: he hints at artificial au
roras spreading from the summit oi
towers of hitherto'undreamt hcight,and
he has, at all events, got as far as pro
ducing in the air at atmospheric pres
sure a glowing plane bounded by twe
rings about a foot and thirty inches in
diameter respectively. Whether all hit
visions will be realized remains to be
proved; there is no doubt that they are
guiding him aright.
APOLLO IN DISGUISE.

"Do you see that man standing in the
center of the car?" said a conductor on
the Columbus avenue line to a lioston
Herald reporter the other day while on
a down-town trip about ten o'clock in
the morning.
"Yes; anything usual about him?"
"Only that he is stuck on himself." ,
"How does he show it?" -1
"By declining to take a seat when a
passenger leaves. I have been watch
ing him now for three or four weeks.
If there are a number of ladies in the car
when he enters he insists on standing,
notwithstanding the amount of vacant
space at his disposal. From his actions
one would believe he did not see it, and
frequently it happens that some kind
hearted old gentleman who never loses
an opportunity to be of service to his
fellow man will poke Mr. Vanity in the
back with his cune and direct his atten
tion to a seat. He always meets a solici
tation of this nature with 'No, thank
you; I prefer standing, as I intend get
ting out shortly.'
"If there is a pretty girl in the car he
manages to get as near her as possible,
so that when the car sways in taking a
curve he can jostle against her and go
through the street-ear etiquette of lift
ing his hut and begging her pardon,
"If he enters a car that is sparsely
occupied, and no ladies are present, he
takes a scat as close to the door as he
can, in order to be the first one to rise
when a lady does come in. The 'thank
you' he receives for his disguised coui
tesy he interprets as a recognition of
his personal attractiveness, and his
actions during the remainder of the
trip are base ', on this presumption. If
the iiuty should by chance happen to
look toward him it adds strength to his
false supposition and additional height
to his 'mountain of conceit. When she
leaves the ear ho follows her with
1 his eyes until she is out of sight, with
the hope that she will turn and give him
some sign of recognition. :
"It makes little difference to men of
this character how often they are made
to feel the sting of their own conceit,
as it is without apparent effect."
SUED FOR STOLEN TIME.
How an Old Proverb Lrd to an Innoeent
Man's Conviction.
A rather striking case has just been
brought before a Vicksburg justice of
the peace, says the Arkansaw Traveler.
A man named Hath hone sued one Jack
son for time.
"Well," said the justice, when the
case was called, "you have brought an
action here for time, brt you do not
specify. Did you give this man Jackson
so much of your time and has he refused
to pay you for it?"
"Your honor, this man has had my
time and does refuse to pay me. I will
explain. I live on the floor just above
him, and some time ago bought a flue
clock on the installment plan. The
other day the fellow came around to
collect the installment, and it occurred
to me that, ns Jackson could hear the
clock strike, he ought to help me pay
for it. I looked into tho matter and
found Unit he had no clock and I also
learned that his hours wens regulated
by my timepiece. Tln n 1 told him
that he owed me for my time and ex
plained to him, but he refused to enter
tain my eluhn."
"Mr. Jackson," said the judge, "have
you no timepiece of your own?"
"I have not, your honor."
"And have you been telling the time
of day by listening to the striking of
Mr. Uathbone's cluck?' '
"Well, yes, but 1 did not think that it
was wearing on the clock. 1 thought
thut while the clock was striking for
him it could jet as v.'eil itrikc ior me,
especially as i..r : ... . of si rikos would do
for both fainili ,. '
"But hud j'ii.1 i u. m led to get a clock
before Mr. li;it'.i .night his'."' the
justice asked.
"Well, yes.
The justice reflected a moment and
then said: "Your delay in buying a
clock makes you tho victim of lids ac
tion, for the law plainly nays, as every
schoolboy ought to know: 'i'roerastina
tion is the thief of time.' You have,
therefore, stolen thi:i man's time and
will have to pay for it or in-.flcr more
serious consequences. I assess the dam
ages at ten dollars."
