RUNNING THE GANTLET.
An Indian Incident In Indiana's Pio-
neer Days.
Dnvld Jo''isim, v/..e of the Pftllf set
tlers of h.Jiiinu. was a noted hunter
nnd at ono time wus with n hunting
party of which John Severn* was n
member. On that occasion the curly
settlcim'nt of tlio stnto was dllCUfflftl.
Mr, Severn*, unfitly been tlieif so

tory of liidlnim" Colonel \V. M. Cock
nun gives one of Mr. Severns' storlos
H3 repented by Mr. .lohuson.
Mr. Several mild that in Hip fall of
1703 he was with half a dozen of his
Indian neighbors, hunting, nnd that no
stayed till Might nt an, Indian Tillage.
During the night two white prisoners
were brought In. and preparations
were iniide for their trial mid deuth.
First two llhom were formed facing
encb other, nnd the two men were
compelled to run the gantlet between
the lines. A polut some- hundred
yards beyond the Hues of the gantlet
was designated ns tho pluee that was
to be reached to save their lives.
One of tho men wns of inlddlo nge,
but frail: the other wus n strong, nth
letic young fellow. The lines were
m.ade up of more than 100 Indians,
mostly squaws nnd boys, with enough
active, men to keep the prisoners from
getting nwny. The young man was
tue first to make tbe raw. He got
through tbe lane nnd to the life sta
tion without being much hurt.
The older man before he started
held up his hands and offered a prayer
to God for aid. theu commenced the
race, which was not more than half
completed before ho was knocked
down by a heavy club In the hands
of a squaw nud was sot upon by tlie
bordo of squaws and boys and beaten
to death.
As soon ns he was knocked down tho
.vouug man, who was several hundred
feet away, ran like a deer aud jumped
into the throng of Indians and tried to
save his friend's life, but was soon
overpowered and dragged away.
For this brave act tbe chief of tbe
village adopted the young roan to
take the place of a son whom he hod
lost.
Mr. Severns. on being asked why up
did not intercede for the prisoners,
said that If he Imd attempted to Inter
fere it would have cost him his life.

There is only one way to euro deafness

Deafness is caused by an in limned con

imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless tho inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its

Troubles of Insulation.
The use in Germany and r.elyium of
thin belts of steel for driving machinery
has beo.n on experiment of great In
terest. The belts, as described by
Reginald Krall to British engineers, ure
made from about 1-125 to 1 -25 of an
inch thick and from about 2 to 8 inches
wide, and one G inches wide and 1-40 of
an inch thick readily transmits 200
horse-power. In manufacture two
serious obstacles have been encountered.
That of obtaining n perfectly homo
geneous steel has been overcome by a
specially-made steel, which is given a
very high temper. The problem of
making a joint has been solved by hav
ing the ends soldered at the factory by
trained men. Brazing was not very
successful, and the best results have
been obtained with a solder of melting
point low enough— not above 200 dcg.
Cent.— to have no effect on the temper.
A special steel tape, placed around the
pulleys and stretched to a predetermined
tension, is used to find the exact length
of belt needed. Bare pulleys arc soon
polished by the bar.ds, and it has been
found better to use a covering of cork
and canvas cemented to the pulleys.
These belts, showing little, wear, are
run at speeds as high as 10,000 feet a
minute.
The automatic electric passenger
elevator requires no attendant. Pres
sing the usual push button calls the
cage if not already in use, and when it
stops at the landing the door may be
unlocked and opened. It cannot start
again until a lever is moved that
closes and locks the landing door. In
the cage is] push-button for each floor
served, and on momentarily pressing
one of the buttons the cage moves to the
corresponding floor, and there stops,
when" the door may ba opened for the
passenger to alight.
In the novel farming of T. Y. Rior
dan, of London, a positive electric cir
rent of 10,000 volts or more is sent
throuhg a network of wires at a height
of 6 15 feet, and the nitric oxides pro
duced are supposed to be washed by at
moshperic moisture into lime spread on
the soil. The nitrate of lime resulting
is one of the best manures.
The honor of being the oldest mum
my, representing the most ancient em
balming, is now definitely assigned to
one Ranefer, whose remains were found
by Prof, l-'linders Petrie in 1801 near
the Medium Pyramid of King Snefru,
dating from about 2900 B. C. Though
the gteat age was recognized at once,
the mummy was deposited in the Mu
seum of the Royal College of Surgeons
in England, and practically forgotten.
This seems to have been due to the fact
that many mummies as old, and even
pre-dynastic, were reported, but a late
investigation has shown that there are
no genuine mummies in the Cairo
Museum or the British Museum earlier
than the time of the New Empire,
about 1580 B. C. Bodies embalmed
in the tenth ard twelfth dynasties— 2ooo
and 2200 B. C.-were found in 1907,
though so fragile that they could not be
moved. The Medium mummy has been
of uncertain age on account of its hav
ing been found in a plundered tomb, but
Dr. G. A. Reisner has lately made dis
coveries proving that its curious peculi
arities belong to the- time of the fifth
dynasty, about 2700 B. C. This gives
the specimen an age 500 years greater
than any other actual mummy known
and 1100 years greater than any other in
a museum.
The new sail vehicle of a German in
ventor, described by Consul T. H. Nor
ton of Chemnitz, promises good results
for speed contests and pleasure purposes
on smooth roads and sandy stretches,
like sea beaches. Unlike early clumsy
sail wagons, 'this vehicle is very light.
It has a light framework supporting a
saddle and the mast, and resting on four
wheels, one^on either side and larger
ones in front and behind, the rear wheel
ani the right side wheel being rigidly
connected, as are also the front wheel
and left side wheel. The two connect
ing bars are joined by an axle with
hinged attachment at each end. Sitting
in the saddle with his feet on the cross
axle, the rider can guide the wheels by
suitable pressure, and lus his hands free
for adjusting the sail or using a brake.
The new ingot iron, claimed to be
non-rustling, is practically pure iron.
Tested in a 25 per cent sulphuric acid
bath, in (5 hours an eyebar of this iron
lost 10.5 per cent, and one of charcoal
iron 77.3 per cent; in 5 hours a railroad
spike of the new iron lost 11.2 per
cent, and an ordinary steel spike 79.1
per cent; and in 45 minutes an ingot
iron nail lost 4.13 per cent, and a com
mon steelwire nail 68.9 per cent.
Cars on the Prussian railways—espe
cially those used for Russian traffic— are
often infested with vermin, and a new
process o' the Julius I'intsch Co. has
been adopted for destroying bedbugs,
nits, and disease germs without removal i
of cushions or fittings and without'in
jury to varnish or polish. A disinfecting,
cylinder of cast iron, IG!e feet In inside:
diameter and long enough to inclose the (
car, is used. This is closed at the ends i
by cast iron heads, and is air-tight and
capable of withstanding enormous pres
sure. The total weight Is 297,000 pounds |
The car is run into the cylinder, and]
the temperature is raised by live steam !
to 1 14 deg. to 122 deg., when the air is ;
pumped out to a pressure of one-tenth
of the normal, the heat being still main- 1
tamed, Formalin vapor is then in
troduced. In a test of the plant, the
thorough heating of tho car required
about five hours, rarefying the air took;
two hours, but disinfectin witli formalin]
was a quick process. Bed bugs and nits :
were effectually destroyed. Vestibule and
dining earn with ceilings, walls and Moors i
that had become wet through were inclos
ed,in the heated vacum for 24 hours, and
were dried in a surprisingly thorough
manner. Allowing 10 hours for the dis
infection of a car, it is estimated that
the total expense is 88.33, ot more than
a tenth of the cost of the less complete |
cleansing by the old methods.
Peculiarities in the motion of Encke's
comet have suggested the curious theory
that this body is retarded in its course
around the sun by the collision with
a meteoric ring. Soon after the comet's
period had been determined, Enckc no
ticed a gradual diminution, due to nearer
approach to the sun, and suggested that
this was an effect of slowing down by
some resisting medium in space near
the perhclion position. Dr Backlund,

Evelyn Ncsbit Thaw
Will Go to Paris
A friend of Mrs Evelyn Nesblt Thaw,
wife of Harry K. Thaw, authorized the
announcement that Mrs Thaw had given
uo her apartment, and that she would
depart for Paris to study sculpture.
Mrs Thaw has informed her friends that
she is taking this step at the advice of
competent teachers, who encourage her
to believe that her talent for such work
may be advantageously developed.
"I am through with Harry Thaw for
all time," Airs Thaw said to a friend.
"I am going to Paris to make my future
home. ' '
Mrs Mary C. Thaw still makes her
son's wife a monthly allowance, and it
is said Mrs Evelyn Thaw has informed
her friends that she will take a modest
apartment in the outskirts of Paris,
while she is studying sculpture.
