TWELFTH YEAR
HEROIC AMAZONS.
Cuban Women Who Fight for
Their Country-
The Splendid Courage of One Woman
Who Fared an Army — Iler Dy­
ing Act Was the Kllllug of
a Soldier.
The Cuban amazona recently have
been playing a prominent part in the
fights betwwen the insurgents and the
Spanish. These women, many of whom
have husbands in the ranks of the army
of Cuba, have exhibited upou frequent
occasions courage, endurance, aiul
fighting skill to a greater extent than
very many of the men.
The amazons of Cuba ure nob a* a
rule, remarkable for personal beauty
or cleanliness. Anything in the nature
of a dress does not prevent them from
fighting. As a rule, they are negretisc's,
strong of limb and quick of action, aud
able to use a machete, rifle, revolver,
or knife with the best of the men. They
ure to be found in nearly all the in­
surgent camps and ar«* incieasing in
numbers.
When not otherwise en­
gaged, they tend the sick und wounded,
mend and wash clothes, or cook the
meats when fire« are permitted and
fotl is procurable. When regular sup­
plies are inadequate to the demand,
which is not infrequent, the anuizons
chew sugar cane, and are thankful to
get it, and ride or tramp pluckily along
with the regular Cuban troop«.
If
there is fighting to do. they go iuto the
thick of it with energy ami dash.
There is, or was, one woman, at least,
umong them who may de»erv«» more
than passing notice. She cam«* to the
front in a recent engagement between
the Spanish troops and a number of
insurgents at Olayita.
The fighting
liegan with the usual wild firing at
long range, but gradually the combat­
ants, few in number on either side, by
fore«» of circumstances got nearer to
each other, an«l then, ns u^unl when
they began to see the whites of each
other’s eyes, the insurgents went to
ccver ami the triumphant soldiers
dashed onward in pursuit. But all five
insur-fi nt-, did not melt away One«»!
them a bril, fine-looking woman, bright
of eye, well-built und looking lik«» a
heroine Lora the top of her head to
the soli« of her naked fret, stood her
ground bravely, calling first taunting
jy and th n in grand despair upon her
’fleeing companions to fight like in«»n.
! Th«*y paid no he«*«l to her, nnd theSpan-
iards crept closer anti closer from bush
to bush.
Then this woman drtermin«*«! to
show men how Cuban amazons can die.
With her back against a tree she stead­
ily loaded and filed her carbine, tak­
ing the cartridges from the bosom of
her cotton gown, almost the only gar­
ment. she wore. So long as th«* gun
worked -lie pumped lead nt the Span­
iard*. las ping them well at bay. But
th«* old carbine finally got out of order,
and she threw it away with angry con­
tempt. drew a revolver, nnd shouttd:
"Long live free Cuba!"
The Spaniards, seeing the carbine
thrown t » the ground, mad«» a simul­
taneous dash forward, firing repente«!-
ly as they did so. The Cuban woman
calmly awaited their approach, ami
when they were within rang«* of her
pistol tin* amazon gave another cheer
for Cuba nndagain op«*n«*«l fire until «he
fell pierced by four Manser bnlh»t«.
Then there was another rush for­
ward of 1h<* Sj>aninrds. and the dying
w’oman, half rising with difficulty on
her cll»ow, fir«*«! her last shot at flu*
r ear«*st soldier of Spain, killed him in­
stantly, and sank to rise no mor«», with
a faint cheer for free Culm on her lips.
This is only one of a number «»f in­

In California.
"Did you ever see drunken flab?" in-
quired a Sonoma county wine grower.
No one would confess that he had
neen intoxicated fish, and t he silence in­
dicated a predisposition to incredulity,
says a writer in the San Francisco Post.
"1 supjMise you are going to tell tin
about a drunken catfish staggering
down through the orchard and catch­
ing a bird?" suggested one.
“Do you think I am a liar?" demand­
ed the farmer, indignantly, but he was
left in ignorance a« to the lielief of his
hearers. "My winery is right on the
l ank of a little creek. This time of the
year the water stands in pools and
every pool is full of trout, suckers and
pike. All of the waste from the winery
is thrown into the creek, and that is
< nougb to discolor the water, but the
other day a big vat of sour claret burst
mid nearly all of it ran down into the
hole of water just below the winery.
In half an hour the pool waa crowded
with fish floating belly up. I thought
they were dead, and pulled a big pike
out, but. he w iggled and flopped around
just like an old drunk trying to get. up
without anything to hold on to. One
by one they diMip|M*are<| hi they no­
lle red up, and when the water cleared
two days afterward there w asn't a dead
fish in the pool. They had just been

MATHEMATICSAND ASTRONOMY
Two Science« That Are Cloaely Related
and NcccNMary to Kach Other.
Probably in none of the aciencea, ap­
plied or pure, is a knowledge of higher
mathematics so essential as astron­
omy. Certainly none involves so much
mathematical labor. The method of
the least squares is one in almost, con­
stant use by those engaged in astro­
nomical calculation, und the amount of
labor often entailed by this process is
enough to make the head of an ordi­
nary citizen swim even to think of.
One of the most extensive least square
solutions ever made, says the Pitts­
burgh Dispatch* has recently i»een pub­
lished by Prof. Schur, of Goettingen.
The helionietric triangulations of the
stars in the duster Praise ¡ m * (the Bee­
hive) gave rise to a series of 74 normal
equations, involving 74 unknown quan­
tities. The solution of this set of
quantities was effected by Prof. Schur
in ten weeks by means of the usual
Gaussian method of elimination. Prof.
Schur conies to the conclusion that no
other method by successive approxi­
mations is to be compared to the
Gaussian method, even though it might
seem to promise a saving of labor in
advance. Prof. Schur mentions us the
longest least square solution he has
been able to find in astronomical liter­
ature a geodetic adjustment made by
Baeyer, in which u set of normal equa­
tions with 68 unknowns was aurceoR-
fully solved by the fainoun computer,
Duse, in three months.

It wm in late summer and the owl sat
ivyon a branch looking very wise and
doing nothing, while th? squirrel
busied himself with the nuts lying
about on the ground, gathering them
rx|»editiously nhd stowing them away
in hollows and holes.
Winti r came by and by und with it«
sharp cold and deep snow, but «till the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
and doing not hing. The squirrel jeered
nt him, thinking that the owl must lie
hungry and starving, because the bird
had not been a prqvident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter, but the owl
did not change, whtah the squirrel
thought to lx* due to the feathers stuck
out by the owl in hi« false pride.
When it waa at ln«t between fall and
spring t irne,the Idu<* jay one day saw the
wise owl leave it« perch on the branch
and seize the fat. provident squirrel by
the neck and eat him, after which the
owl returned to the branch, and «at
upon it, looking wiser than ever, nnd the
blue jay wondered if It was better to be
provident like the squirrel, wise likr the
owl, or lucky like the mice that there­
after ate of the squirrel's store.
