MUTE SOLDIERS.
A. Military Company Composed of
Deaf and Dumb Members.
The Drilling la Conducted rntlrcly bj
Signals and the Vorlc lVrformed
Is Described ns Simply
WonderluL
The only deaf-mute military company
in the world is now the leading attrao
tion at the Illinois institute for deaf
mutes at Jacksonville, 111., and the
work performed by this silent company
is simply wonderful. Every member of
the company, with the exception of the
captain, is deaf and dumb. A few years
afro Dr. Gillett, the superintendent, em
ployed as storekeeper Oeorjra II. Sour
lock, a pupil of Hie ctntc normal school
at Carbonilale. Mr. Scurloelc at onco
bejran the study of the sign lanffuaje,
and in due time made himself familiar
with that diQeult mode of communica
tion. He put it to a use little dreamed
of by the superintendent or the trus
tees. t the university he had been
drilled in military tactics by Lieut. C.
0. Starr, of the United States army, and
he conceived the idea one day of form
ing a company from the pupils of the in
stitution. The first thing to be done was to In
vent a code of signs representing the
orders given in the moreliing, drill and
manual of arms, and to this he bent his
energies for some weeks, and at last
had it so far perfected that he deemed
it Safe to befj-in his experiment.
It was early in the tpt-ing of 1991 that
he collected thirty boys together and
told them his plans, and they at once
entered into the idea with all the eager
ness of youth.
Some of his signs are as follows:
"About face!" is given by raising the
hand and making the letter "r,"' which
is by holding the index linger behind
the middle one and then turning the
hand round. "Right face!" ia by hold
ing the hand up and turning it to the
right, and "Left face!" by the reverse
movement. "Forward march!" by ex
tending the hand forward on a level.
"Halt!" by a simple cut with the sword
or the letter "h," whk.h is made by ex
tending the first two lingers forward
"Fours!" right or left, by holding th
hand up and the lingers separated and
then turning them to the right or left
as the case may be. "Form triangle,"
by pointing the index finger toward
each. "Form square," by indicating
the side of a square With the hands in
the proper position. "To the rear," by
holding the open hand up and quickly
reversing it. "Mark time," by drawing
the right hand slowly over the other
hand, doubled up into a fist. "Eight
dress," by two fingers pointed in the di
rection desired, and as explained, these
and many more constitute the code of
preparatory signs or orders and when
the captain's sword goes up they are
executed.
The more intricate orders are given
by combination of signs. All the drill
is executed as promptly as by hearing
soldiers and it will be readily seen thai
a quick eye is necessary and a close at
tention to business. The cadets never
turn their heads, but maintain a truo
soldierly bearing, and when they or any
of them arc so situated that they can't
see the captain the order is repeated as
quick as a Hash.
ON THE SADGAS30 CCA.
A. German njareorrruphcr fins f3ullod There
and Knowi All About It.
The Sargasso sea, or floating masses
of gulf weed in mid-Atlantic, which im
peded the ships of Columbus four hun
dred years ago, according to the London
Globe, has been the subject of careful
study by Dr. Krummel, a German mare
ographer, who tal.es a different view of
its origin from that commonly accepted.
He shows, to begin with, that the sea is
much more extensive than Humboldt
supposed. The middle or thickest part
is elliptical in form, the great axis
lying along the tropic of cancer and the
foci at forty-five degrees and seventy
degrees west longitude. Around thisare
more extensive but thinner accumula
tions of the weed, which vary with the
prevailing winds.
The gulf weed (fucus natans), which,
with its little round "berries,'' 13 not
unlike the mistletoe in form, but of a
brownish-yellow color, has been thought
to have lost it3 property of rooting on
rocks and to have acquired the power of
living afloat. It has even been suggest
ed that the sea marks the site of a sub
merged continent, apparently the lost
Atlantis. Dr. Krummel holds that the
weed has simply been driited t3 its pres
ent position by the gulf stream and its
aducnts from the West Indian inlands
and the gulf of Mexico. It is now proved
that the gulf stream is not a single
narrow "river of the ocean," a3 Maury
poetically described it, but consists of a
number of currents not only from the
Mexican gulf but the Antilles. The
weed, according to Dr. Krummel, would
take fifteen days to float a-i far north a3
the latitude of Capa Hattcras and five
and a half months to rsajh the Azores.
In the Sargasso sea it becomes heavy
and sinks, but the supp'y 13 kept up by
the gulf stream. Dr. Krummel b cer
tainly right in giving the arga) ;j sea
much wider area than Humboldt did
and than our maps usually portray. It
has been encountered some two or three
hundred miles northeast of liarbadoes;
but whether this weed is solely carried
from the West Indies and the gulf in
perhaps open to doubt.
Cnltln Fine Veneort.
' Few people have an idea how thin a
sheet of veneer may be cut with the nid
I of improved machinery. There is a firm
i in Paris which makes a business of cut
ting veneers, and to such perfection
I have they brought it that from a single
i tusk thirty inches long they will cut a
sheet of ivory one hundred nnd fifty
inches long and twenty inches wide
Some of the sheets of rosewood end ma
hogany arc only almut a fiftieth of an
inch in thickness. Of course, the y can
not cut all woods so thin as this, for the
grain of many varieties is not suflic-icnt-ly
close to enable such line work to be
done, but the sheets of boxwood, maple
' and other woods of this character are
often so thin aa to be traasluceut.
ror? wEAKcns of falcc hair.
A Tew Tacts V.'hidi "lay result la Woan
lag '.item f -oin tiio Truclcc.
The most expensive is the silver white,
which ia in great demand and very dif
ficult to find. Hair of the ordinary
shades is obtained in two ways. The
better and mcro expensive hind i3 cut
directly from the heads cf peasant
women, who sell their r.ilken tresses
sometimes for a mere song and some
times for a fe.ir price, according as
they learned wisdom. livery year the
whole territory cf Trance i3 traveled
over by men whose business it is to (
persuade village maidens, their mothers j
and their nuuta to part with their hair
for financial considerations. The busy
searehcr3 cf ash heaps and garbage
barrels collect every day in the city of
Paris alone at least n hundred pounds
of hair, which some hundreds of thou
sands cf women have combed out of
their heads during the preceding
twenty-four hours. This hair, all
mi:;cd together and soiled, one would
think, beyend redemption, i3 sold to
hair cleaners at from a dollar to a
dollar and n half a pound, which shows
simply that the fair sex in one city
alone thrown av.-r.y annually about
sixty thousand dollars' worth of hair,
for which they afterward pay and it is
the came hair, mind considerably over
two hundred thousand dollars.
The cleaning cf this refuse hair is an
operation ivhi h requires careful atten
tion. After the hair has been freed
from the dirt and dust and mud and
ether unpleasant things with which

ONE CICAnCTTE CTUD.
Hula of a Var.t Oruln-T Ground nnd Star
VLitl n to Th:m?a:ul3 of Anlmala.
A number of hunters in the Gros
Ventre range, V.'yo., one day in August,
1SSQ, were smoking r.s they rode along.
One carelessly cast his cigarette stub on
the grass bcsi.lc the trail. Usually it
would have died there and no harm
come from it, but a brecso was blowing
that fanned it till a dry blade of grass
flamed up. The hunters had just passed
around a bend and did not see the
flame. An hour later a fire that threat
ened all the grass south of the Gros
Ventre river was raging and the few
settlers there were riding from ranches
even thirty milc3 away to save the
range their cattle needed. One man
followed and brought back the hunters
and for the rest cf the day more than a
score of men with horses dragging
bundles of green brush galloped up and
down to confine the flames to the can
yons and mountains east of t'.ie valley.
They succeeded, and the ranchers worn
out rode home to rer.t. Some hundreds
of square miles of mountain sides and
the bottom lands in the canyons were
burned over.
Later came winter and the deep snow
common to that country. With the
snow came herds of elk from the moun
tain tops to feed in the thickets along
the brool:3 between the mountains. It
was their regular practice, and they
hail always livel there in peace the
winter through, for the settlers killed
onl' what were needed f or food. Hut
this winter, instead of nourishing
grasses and twigs, the Chantauqiiuu
ssys. the r.nf rtunate animals found
on.'y charre-.l stubs and blackened sods.
Goaded by their lunger they came out
on the plains and about the ranches of
the settlers. At first they fled at the
sight cf a man, but by January cared
nothing f;r one. They mingled with
the cattle; tV'y leaped over fences built
hi'jh to cr: du.le them; they attacked
the h".ysta ;!:s in spite of armed men
sta:v.',kyr there on guard. They died of
starvation by the thousand, and one
win drives up the valley sees hundreds
of whitened r.ntlcrs where the elk fell
on Hie plains and thousands of dead
an l b'a- kened tree trunks on the moun
tain side.

A notable instance of this oddity
came under the writer's notice once up
on a time on a ranch that was largely
devoted to stock-raising, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. Cattle, horses
and hogs were kept In large numbers
and allowed to run at will upon the
range. One day in riding over the
mesa an oddly assorted trio was found
in a locality at a considerable distance
from any other animals. The trio was
made up of a cow, a horse and a pig
and all three were feeding side by side
in the most amicable manner. At first
it was thougnt to be nothing more than
a coincidence that the three members of
different families should happen to be
together, but subsequently it turned
out that this trio had evidently set up
an alliance offensive nnd defensive
against nil the other animals on the
range. They were always together
It was a comical sight to see the oddly
assorted trio traveling over the range.
The horse usually took the lead, with
the eow next, and the pig last of all.
Occasionally the horse looked around to
see If his porkship was keeping up,
and if he fell behind a halt would be
made to nllow him to come closer.
When feeding the pig was just as apt
to put his snout down by the horse's or
cow's month and endeavor to snatch
the grass from between their teeth as
to graze on his own hook. One could
almost see in the 'ountcnances of the
larger animals a half-humorous, patron
.zing air as thev tvgerded their diminu
tive comjinuion, whiii' uie pig, on the
other hand, walked n-ith a bullying
swagger Hnt! a sell-confident ntr, for
all the world like a youngster who
trots along by the svle of his "big
brother," in the furl assurance that, all
his battles will be fought for him.
A STOLEN KIS3.

I was never kissed by a woman but
once in my life hy which I nieaa that
that kiss made me' forget all others,
snys a correspondent, in the Philadel
phia Inquirer. Describe it? Impossible.
It was at llichlield Springs. I was a
handsome fellow in those days, and had
had several desperate flirtations with
young girls. So I didn't think uuything
of it one evening while sitting on the
veranda in rather a 'lark corner to feel
a pair of soft arms suddenly clasped
around my nerk a. id a mouth of thrill
ing fragrance nnd wonderful aptitude
in kissing set upon my lips. When 1
came to my senses I threw my arms
around tin1 beautiful unknown, but a
low voice wh'np:'i'e l: "It;1 generous
and let me go!" I obliged.
"A month or more afterward, when I
had returned to town, I received a
dainty little anonymous note, tolling
me that that ki-s had been the result
of a lurk of scverni young married
women, who held 1111 indigni'tion meet

of the young girls w ho hud ul a cordon
about me and ehu'iiied trie as their spe

one of the indignant band should be
chosen by lot to carry a kiss to me, and
I was now requested to reee' t fur It.
The receipt was iii'-lused and read 11s

A VALUACLE CHERRY CTONE.
It Ilnd tlio l!eada nf O'm ITundrcd nnd
Twenty-lour rolciitutca Curved i;po:i It.
In a museum of curiosities at Salem,
Mass, there is preserved a common
;herry seed or stone, hollowed and
fashioned like a basket. Within thu
basket are twelve tiny silver spoons,
the shape and finish of which cannot
be distinguished by the naked eye.
The name of the artist who con
tracted this little wonder has been
lost, but the actual existence of the
thing itsidf will not bo questioned by
tny one from the Old Vit;h headquar
ters of the liay State, Bays t'.ie Philadel
phia Press.
Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land (luring the early part of the
eighteenth century, tells of so.'ing a
carved cherry stone which would be a
wonder even in this ago of fine tools
and fine workmanship. The stone was
one from a cc mtnen 1 berry, nr.d upon it
I were carved the heads of one hundred
' and twenty-four nones. Lines, ciueens.
emperors, saints, et::.
Small as they must ncessarily have
been, it is announced on the authority
of Prof. Oliver that with a (food glass
the beads of the nones and kinr's could
readily be distinguished from those of
thequcens and saints by their mitres
anJ crowns. The gentleman who
brought this little wonder to Lngland
purchased it in Prussia, allowing the
original owner five thousand pounds
sterling for his treasure. Think of it,
twenty-flvo thousand dollars for a
sherry seed.
