Ao incident Which Uoeg to Frovn That It
Never Changes.
If the Bertillon system of identifica
tion had a phonosrraiihio roiwH
cUe,i9ui. tniinuais n wouia probably
oeas near perlect as an identification
system can be. The fact that man
conies into the world wailing has been
regarded as a sort of prophecy of the
truth that as a rule the sorrows of life
outnumber the joys when all tb r.
turns are in, but an optimist might see
an opposite significance in the fact that
a man's laugh remains the same tin,
all the changing years. When the cares
of manhood succeed to the happy-go-
lucky days of boyhood, says the Chi-
cago Tribune, this laugh of his may be
called into use, as it were, very little
Out when it is put into operation it is
the same old laugh and every boyhood
uicuu wuuiu unow n instantly.
An old soldier who fought through
mo war wan ired Uartwick, who1
drives a mail collector's wagon on the .
North side, happened to be in Phi,.,,!
for a week not long since. He heard
that Mr. Uartwick was on Postmaster
Hesing's staff and went to the federal
building to find him. He took his sta
tion at a point past which all the car
riers filed to- report for duty and as
Uartwick came along some one pointed
him out.
Without disclosing his own identity
the veteran approached and began ask
ing Uartwick if he remembered various
incidents in the history 'of that regi
ment during the war. Of course he
did, and they soon fell into conversa
tion, organizing a kind of camp-fire
meeting between themselves. One
member of tho reiriment wns in Wi.
ncssiniNew Orleans, another was in a
bank down in the state, several were
farming, one was the local manager for
one of the big commercial agencies in
one of the large cities, and soon.
Several times Uartwick asked his old
companion-at-arms his name, but the
latter only smiled and went on with the
conversation. Finally, when it became
necessary for them to separate, as
Uartwick was obliged to go out on his
run, the man laughed as he said:
"Well, Fred, I never thought you'd
forget mo after what we went through
together." 8
"The minute he laughed," said Mr
Uartwick, in relating the Incident, "I
knew just who he was and nil about
him, but I hadn't seen him for thirty
years, and lie lmd changed so I conldn:t
have told him from Adam. His laugh
had grown older, too, of course, but it
was the same old luugh."
Mature' Lightning Rod.
Mosurtw, amri'ror. Ilim-hrt, govern
ment forest inspector of the same city,
have made some investigation concern
ing the liability to lightning stroke of
certain species of trees. In the sum
mers of lH'jn ami 1S'.M, the two scientists
mentioned ient 10'J days in the givnt
forests between Mohihiiv nild Urim-refT,
and during that time foil rid.V,7 tr.es that
had recently been struck by lightning.

fact tlmt that specie K iit uny ways
near us common as a half do.en or do.

that the peasants uc it as a lightning
conductor.

BY AMBROSE MERCK.
One sunny afternoon in tha ftntnmn
' ioul soiuier iay in a
l;lunjP or "inrel uy the side of a road
m western Virginia. He lay at full
length on his stomach, his feet resting
upon the toes, his head upon the left
forearm. His extended right hand
loosely grasped his rifle. Hut for the
somewhat methodical di snositinn nf
! 3 and a sllf7ht rhythmic move-
! ment of the cartridsre-box at tlu hnek
' f lus belt" he miSht have been thought
I to be d!atl IIe wns aslcep at his post
of d"t-y' 1!ut" if detected, he would be
' dead shortl.y afterward, that being the
j Penalty of his crime.
auo ciump oi laurel tn which the
criminal lay was in the angle of a road
which, after ascending southward a
steep acclivity to that point, turned
sharply to the west, running along the
suiumii lor pcrliaps one hundred yards.
There it turned southward again and
went zigzagging downward th rnu it h
the forest. At the salient of that sec
ond angle was a largo flat rock, jut-
mig irom mo riage to the northward,
uveriooKiug tiie deep valley from
wmeli the road ascended. The rock
capped a high cliff-, a stone dropped
from its outer edge would have fallen
sheer downward one thousand feet to
tho tops of the pines. The
tho soldier lay was on another spur of
nie t,;ime can. uad be been awake he
would have commanded a view, not
only of the short arm of the road and
the jutting rock, but of the entire pro
file of tho cliff below it.
No country is so wild and difficult
but men will make it a theater of war;
concealed in the forest at the bottom
of tlmt military rat-trap, in which half
a hundred men in possession of the
exits might have starved an army to
submission, lay five regiments of 'fed
eral infautry. They had marched all
the previous day and night and were
resting. At nightfall they would take
to the roud again, climb to tho place
where their unfaithful sentinel now
slept, and, descending tho other sIoihs
of the ridge, fall upon a camp of the
enemy at about midnight Their hope
was to surprise It. for tho road led to
the rear of it. In case of failure, their
position would Ins perilous in tho ex
treme. Tho sleeping aentinel in tho clump
of laurel was a young Virginian named
Carter Druse. H0 was tho on of
wealthy parents, an onlj child, and
had known such case and cultivation
and high living as wealth and taste
witi- rililii j i.
homo was bill a few mile from where
he now luy. Ono morning he had risen
from tho breakfast table and said,
quietly: "Father, a union regiment
lias arrived ut lirafton. I am going to
join it."
The f:itln r lifted his leonine head,
looked at the win a moment in alienee,
ntul rallied: "(jo, Curler, utid, what
ever may oceur, do what you conceive
to bo your duly. Virginia, to which

Highest of aU in Leavening PowerLatest U. S. Gov't Report
slight movement of the group; the
horse, without moving its feet, ha 1
drawn its body slightly backward
from the verge; the man remained im
mobile as before. ISroad awake and
keenly alive to the significance of the
situation, Druse now brought the butt
of his riile against his cheek by cau
tiously pushing the barrel forward
through the bushes, cocked tho piece,
and, glancing through the sights, cov
ered a vital spot of the horseman's
breast. A touch unon th trie r trot nid
all would have been well with Carter
Druse. At that instant the horseman
turned his head and looked in tho di
rection of his concealed foeman
seemed to look into his very face, into
his eyes, into his brave, compassionate
heart.
isu, men, so terrible to kill an
enemy in war an enemy who has sur
prised a secret vital to tho safety of
one's self and comrades an enemy
more formidable for his knowledge
than all his army for its numbers?
Carter Druse grew deathly pale; he
shook in every limb, he turned faint,
and saw the statuesque group before
him as black figures, rising, falling,
moving unsteadily in arcs of circles in
a iierysky. His hand fell away from
his weapon, his head slowly dropped
until his face rested on the leaves in
which he lay. This courageous gen
tleman and hardy soldier was nearly
swooning from intensity of emotion.
It was not for long; in another mo
ment his face was raised from the
earth, his hands resumed their places
on the rifle, his forefinger sought the
trigger; mind, heart and eyes were
clear, conscienco and reason sound.
He could not hopu to enpturo thn,
enemy; to alarm him would be to send
him dashing into his camp with his
fatal news. The duty of tho soldier
was plain: the man must bo shot dead
from ambush without warning, with
out a moment's spiritual preparation,
with never so much as an unspoken
prayer he must be sent to his account,
admiring the sublimity of the land
cape. If permitted, he may turn ami
ride carelessly away in the direction
whence he came. Surely it will b '
possible to judge at the instant of his
withdrawing whether ho knows It
may well lie that his fixity of uttcn
tiou Uriiso turned his head and
looked below, through the deeps ol
air downward, us from the surface to
the bottom of a truiialuceut sea. lie

Druse withdrew his eyes from the
valley and fixed Ihem ugain uon the
;rroiipof m:iu an l horse in the sky,
and u iM I ii it was through the sight of
Ida rille. lint this limn the aim was at
the horse. In hla uiemory, aa f they
were a divine mandate, rang thu words
of his fnlher at parting: "Whatever
may occur, do what you conceive to
be your duty." lie was calm now.

petuons a plunge. From his bare head
his lo;)g hair streamod upward, way
mg like a plur.ie. His right hand was
concealed in the cloud of the horse's
lifted mane. The animal's body was
as level as if every hoof-stroke en
countered the resistant earth. Its mo
tions were those of a wild gallop, but
even as the officer looked they ceased
with all the legs thrown sharply fori
ward as in the act of alighting from a
leap. I!ut this was a flight!
Filled with amazement and terror
by this apparition of a horseman in
the sky half believing himself the
chosen scribe of some new apocalypse,
tho ollicer was overcome by the in
tensity of his emotions; his legs failed
bun and ho fell. Almost at the same
instant he heard a crnshin ,nA i
the trees a sound that dies without
an echo, and aU was still.
After firing his shot, Private Carter
Druse reloaded his rifle and resumed
his watch. Ten minutes had hardly
passed when a federal sergeant crept
cautiously to him.
"Did you fire?" the sergeant
pered.
"Yes."
"At what?"
"A horse. It was standing on yon
der rock-protty far out. ItisnoW
er there. It went over the cliff."
".See here, Druse," tho sergeant said,
after a silence, "it's no use making a!
mystery. I order you to report. Waa
tliero anybody on the horse?"
"Yes"
"Who?"
"My father."

A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD,
rianlta Made of fork Wilt II titt la
Now Nhlpa.
Several months ago the board of In
spection and survey of the navy depart
ment was directed to make an investi
COJsioajvUJi .Jfkjw -if..o-t.inl -iw m
substitute was tho fact that a lighter
material was wanted If possible, one
that would not take so much space in
the vessel, and more than anything
else a niiiteriul that would not splinter.
It was also desirable to have a non
combustible substance.
Thn board, snys tho Washington
Post, hiia iiiudo a report to the secre
tary of the mi vy and some of its recom-iiii-ndiitions
huvo lieen adopted by him,
and it Is probable that some of the new
ships will bu fitted with the new ma
terial as a substitute for wood.
One of the In-st materials which has
been found by the board is a wood iub-
stituto e imsed of waste cork, or any
cork. This is subjected to four hun
dred degrees of heat, and It Is then
pressed into blocks of any required
hie. It can bo sawed into thin strips
or hnndled very much as wood la
handled. Cork litis a gum that great
heat melt and glue I la p&rllclrs to
gether in a eotnpuct mass. After belnf
pressed it sticks together as tightly aa
if It hud grown that way. The cork
IxsiriU ma v Us made heavy or light, as
wanted. Nun- of the lighter kinds are
used In the walla of refrigerators. It
la a iioii-coiiituctor, and euu seureely b
iniide to burn. This tiiuterial Is used In
the ib.-. of wood in (ii-rman seaaels.

were using it under a patent taken out
by John hitiith. of New York, and that
