ODD COLORADO COLONY. How Consumption at "Health Farm" Ii Being Fought. Away out in th.it wonderful Svale, Colorado, there .s a unique Hula settlement, in which tha requirement fur admission is that any newcomer is a consumptive. One would almost be tempted lo take chances against the drf:ad disease In order to live in sui'h a:: enchanted place. This colony Is the Association Health Farm, under the auspices of the Denver Young Men's Christian Association. If, when one get* to Denver, hi jror-s five miles to the northwest, on a straight, road, he will strike a beautiful "white city." There, ..:i a high ridjje, in the rich Truit growing district, he will see row i>fter row of small white houses, or rather tents, and for a background ;■. panorama of snow capped mountain peaks stretching from Tike's Peak in the south to Longs I'eak In the west. The story of the origin of the Association Health I'arm ia interesting. About a year ago. when the furor of excitement In the literary world caused y Charles Sheldon's book. "In His Steps." was at ta height, the Editor of "The Topeka Capital." a iully paper, offered Mr. Sheldon the entire man .ijjenu: of the paper for an [lotted time, to be run upon hii peculiar principles. One of the first tilings that interested Mr. Sheldon was the health arm project. And so a public appeal was made .ii the Initial Sheldon edition of "Ine Topoka.

George, of Han i.ver, Germany, who gave the first Jo.OOu Following this, association inond3 In the ..-t gave other $5,000, and a sixty-acre tract was purchased. Mr. nd Mrs. David Brothers, of Denver, then tendered their Croft farm as a. gift, with I email annuity. The establiihmeii: of the health farm marks the latest development in Young llec'a Christian As sociation work. It was formally opened last May. though for a long time before then the Denvt;: association hud been Interested In the project r.nd in propagating plans for Ms furtherance. The idea was Orst Bug , ested L>y ihe L-rjlujf need of a multitude of young :::'-n seeking tne Colorado . mate for physical reasons, ana It had come to pass where \V M. lJunner. secretary of the Denver Young Men's Christian Association, could no longer aid young men financially who went to him for help. The colony in some respects recalls the rooks Farm experiment, ior to .-* certain extent the rest dents live in common, and they have one central Idea— to be restored to health. In all there a.-c about thirty tents, a big brick house for offices, dining rooms, parlors and read ing room. Each resident la given the exclusive use of one tent. U :» tin ughr best that each should live practically Isolated, though all eat to gether In a large dining room. Thi- cottage tents are floored, have three-foot wainscoting, with can vas sides and double ventilated roof. An iron bed stead, with good beddi g, a chiffonier, table, wash staid and Stove, Kith rocker and rugs, are the ron^'lete 'urnishings of each tent.

An automatic compass for use on board ship is described in the "Bulletin de la BocMte Industrie!!* de Marseilles." The apparatus, which Is the inven tion of M. Helt. automatically registers, minute by minute, the direction of the compass, so that by consulting the chart which is tha result it la posst ble to determine what the route was that was fol lowed at a given mom* nt of the passage. The commander of a. vessaj indicates to the helmsman the route which the vesati should follow, but he do^ not know -whether this roure is followed un less he is continually observing the compass. The Ileit apraratus gives this information, registering every change In the position of the vtseel r\ery move mad* by the helmsman and Use«yxact time at which such change occurred; and so. in case of many varieties of accident, the chart enables one to establish exactly the responsibility. The ap paratus has been in use for several months past, and has giver, complete satisfaction. The compass card, instead of having at its centre Rn agate resting on a fixed steei point, is fixed on k steel pivot, which rests on a fixed agate. The latter la hat!i-d in a drop of mercury, which serves to conduct the current of electricity that makes possible the resistf-ring of the movements of the compass. Fur this purpo.^* t!i* card hus attached to it a small silver ir.dex, which is kept in constant electrical communication witta th>- pivot by a tine and flexible wire. In the usual position this Index does not touch the fixed :>asir.
