The maimer la which a prisoner ex

THE PRESENT INSTANT.
GERONdl.O IN ACTION.
Science Definee It ab the Hundredth
Pert of • Second.
The Indian Chisf’s Story of How Hs
Whipped the Mexicans.
A congre*» of European astronomers
decided that the prew-nt time—that Is.
the present moment at any particular
instant—consist» of the hundredth part
of a second. Tills tuts I mh - u setthsl on
because these men of science have
thought that it represented the tiniest
fraction of time which <ould be appre
ciated by the human brain Yet the
thousandth part of u second Is actually
used in physical science, eepectally In
certain important uses of electricity.
For scientific purposes, however, the
official present moment flashes from
the future to the past In the huii-
dredth part of a second. This cannot
seem so remarkable when it is recalled
that speed records for both horses aud
men runners are officially calculated tn
fractions as small us one-fifth of u sec
ond.
But In astronomy It is needed to
have the htlndredth part of a second,
for In that moment light can travel
2.000 miles. So time, which is. niter all,
only a figure of speech and is a mys-
tery that no human brain can under-
i stand or fathom, must be considered
¡relatively to one's sensations. The
I time to pull an aching tooth is really
I much longer to the RUfferer than n
j whole night spent In sound sleep. It Is
more of the person's actual life. It de
mands more food to stand the nervous
strain and the pain than hours of quiet
rest.
Time. then, for all men lx relative to
their personal sensations. Yet time 1»
real enough. It takes actual time for
starlight to travel. In some eases thou
sands of years. It takes time for sound
to travel and time for the electric wave
to work actual results over long dis
tances.
So that time Is not only theoretical:
it is as real ax coal and wood, Yet this
reality stretches over a human llfe-
time back to arei before the existence
of the sun and the stars, For purposes
of ordinary human work the second Is
small enough to use as a standard of
value, but scientific men have pro
gressed so far In knowledge that the
second Is too long a period for them to
consider as the scientific Instant.
Therefore they have chosen the hun
dredth of a second as the standard for
the length of time that they will con
sider ns the actual moment at any one
Instant.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

About noon we begun to hear them

Held, aud the fighting became more
furious. I gave orders to my war
rlora to try to kill all the Mexican
officers. About 3 o'clock the general
called al) the officers together nt the
right aide of the field. The place wjiere
they assembled was not very far front
the uiuln stream, uud a little ditch run
out close to where the officers stood.
Cautiously I crawled out this ditch,
very close to where the council was
being held.
The general was an old warrior. The
wind was blowing in my direction, so
that I could heur all he said, and 1
understood most of it. This is about
what he told them: "Officers, yonder
lu those ditches are the red devil Ge
ronimo and his bated bund. This must
be their last day. Ride on them from
both sides of the ditches. Kill men.
women and children. Take no prisoners:
dead Indians are what we want. Do
not spare your own men; exterminate

wounded to shoot all deserters. Go
back to your companies and advance.”

I was given 1 took deliberate aim at the
general, and he fell. In an lustaut the
ground around me was riddled with
bullets, but 1 was untouched. The
Apaches bad seen. From all along the
J ditches arose the fierce warcry of ray
, people. The columns wavered an In
stant and then swept on. They did not
| retreat until our fire had destroyed the
front ranks. After this their fighting
was not so fierce, yet they continued to
l rally and readvance until dark. They
also continued to speak my name with
threats and curses. That night before
the firing had ceased a dozen Indians
had crawled out of the ditches mid set
fire to the long prairie grass behind
the Mexican troops. During the con
fusion that followed we esenped to th<-
