THE LANCE IN WARFARE.
At I'rrsrat It Is Kot Verj- Daoaeroon
—Wound* Can Be Easily
Cored.
When the war in the Transvaal broke
j out Dr. Frederick Schaffer, a distin
guished German army surgeon, ob
; tallied permission to accompany the
: British troops, his object being to ascer-
I tain to what extent the lance is effect
ive as a weanon ir. war. During the
i -
. campaign he devoted his entire atten
tion to this subject, and now he has re
; turned home and forwarded to his gov
! eminent an official report thereon.
| Iv it lie says that wounds caused by a
lance are not dangerous and are easily
cured, and that the reason is because
the iron point, of the weapon is round
and therefore passes through the or
gans of the body without injuring them
;to any great extent, "Being such a
■ humane weapon," he points out, "the
lance is by no means as valuable in war
as is generally supposed. Neverthe
less it can be made a dangerous weapon
by merely changing the form of its
point, and if the military authorities
■ eeide to retain it as a portion of the
equipment of cavalry this should cer
tainly be done."
This suggestion is exciting a good
deal of comment In Europe. The
FrankfortGozette. apparently appalled
at the thought of transforming a hu
mane weapon into a cruel one, says sar
castically! "We propose that the point
of the lance be made of such a shape
that It will lacerate every organ in the
body and render the cure of every
wound utterly impossible. Further
more, it will be well for the authorities
to seriously consider the advisability
of Impregnating the point of the lance
with some deadly poison."
BURIED HOUSES IN MEXICO.
Rare Discovery Made Ity Mormon
Archaeologists in tbe Gar
cia Valley.
Sjatch from the City of Mexico,
says: The party of Mormon
loglsts and students who left
Provo City, Utah, nearly a year ago on
an overland trip to Valparaiso, Chili,
have arrived here. They spent some |
time In the Garcia valley, in the state of
Chihuahua, where they made some ex-1
tensive excavations and explorations
of ancient rulnß which had never be
fore been visited by archaeologists.
Prof. Benjamin Cluff, who is in chargs
of the party, sald< "We found a great
number of mounds In th© Garcia val
ley, the date of which Is unknown. In |
the mounds which we excavated vre j
found some well-built houses made of
Stone, well plastered and most of them
having cement floors. The houses usu
ally consisted of two to four rooms,
though some of them were larger. The
houses wera always fn groups or vil
lages, never alone. The whole side of
the mountain had evidently been under
cultivation, and every ridge had a line
of houses. In front at the side of each
house we found a wall or terrace from
one to six feet high, whioh had been lev
eled and used evidently as a garden
spot. Down the hillsides and along ra
vines we found these terraces at regu
lar Intervals. They had apparently
served as reservoirs for the valley be
low. In the houses we found crockery,
stons Implements and invariably char
coal. Is a cave we found some scraps
of excellent woolen cloth and also ol
flax or linen cloth. It Is clear to us!
from orur investigations that the cave j
Coetlr Centnry of War.
It was a costly century of war that
Englishmen had to look back upon
a hundred years ago. The fighting
record began in 1702 with the war of
the Spanish succession, which cost
£ 62,800,000. The Spanish war of 1730
absorbed £ 34,000.0(10 before it was set
tled et Aix-la-Chnpelle nine years
later. The seven years' war cost
£112,000,000 and the American war
6186,000,0000. Most expensive of all
was the French revolutionary war, be
gun in 1703, which cost this country
£464,000,000. If we extend the retro
spect back to 1668 and up to 1815 we
find there were in that period 62 years
of peace, and that the 69 years of war
cost us £8,023,000,000. The largest
item in this vast total was, of course,
the campaign against Bonaparte,
which In 12 years cost us £ 1,159,000,000.

Why Vroves* Butter Sell*.
One reason why process, or renovat
ed, butter sells so nearly at the price of
good dairy or creamery butter is that
it is made to resemble what it is noV
s freshly made butter. It mny lack in
good flavor, but it has no bad flavor,
and It is evenly colored. We consider it
as much a fruud upon the consumer as'
ever oleomargarine was or could be,
but it has made a market for a grade of
butter that could not be sold before at
much above the price of axle grease.
Butter that was poorly made, that had
bad flavors from unwholesome food or
drink or filthy and careless handling,
or that had become rancid, is worked
over by this process until It Is bought
and used by many who would not touch
it if they knew its condition before it
was renovated. —American Cultivator.

A BIT OF TEXAS HISTOxT.
{The Man lo Whose Honor the City
•I Austin la That State
"Wast \uiued.
The historical conundrum, namely,]
In whose honor, Moses Austin or his
son, Stephen F. Austin, wo* the capital
city of Texas called, Involves a recall
of some facts of special interest to •
number of the readers of tho Olobe-
I'rat in Missouri and Texas,:
\Yilliam F. Swltzler, in that pa- i
(Vnd for the reason, among oth
:iat Moses Austin once lived In
iri, and the history of the name
capitßl of any state ir the union
iterost to tl people of the state.
Perry S. Rader's "History of Mis- J
' page 59, and some other publi
s, also claim that Austin, Tex., j
. called in honor of Moses Austin.'
5 Incorrect. The name was con
to perpetuate the memory of
n Stephen, the founder of the
;s Austin wag born in Durham,
about the beginning of the
can revolution, fto was Mi con
ye of Connecticut. Moses came
souri in 170S and engage*" In lead
r in Washington county, or what
• Washington county, end about
eeame the partner im Potest of
John D. Cook, afterward ■ Judge of the
supreme court, in the praotice of law.
Judge Cook resigned in 1883, and died
la Capo Girardeau, year no* known.
In 1680 Moses Austin moved U Texas,
and. soon after forwarded from Bexar,
now In Bexar county, to the Mexfoan
commandant at Monterey • petition
asking permission to bring to that sec
tion and colonize there 800 American
families. Permission Was granted,
whereupon he returned to Missouri In
search of tha emigrants. On hie way
he was robbed by Mexican bandits and
exposed to hardships that oaused his
death In Louisiana on June 10,1821.
During the same year his eon, Steph
en F. Austin, conducted a party of emi
grants from New Orleans to occupy
the tract of land which had been grant'
ed to his father in Texas by *he Mexi
can government. Led by Stephen Aus
tin, the emigrants settled on the Col
orado river near where the city otf Au»
low stands. The town was orl»
--built on a beautiful plateau b
end of the river, and it now, with
ulation In isoo of 15,700, extends
from the original front about two
» and along the river shout fcty
miles. The Moses Austin grant of land
was confirmed to his son Stephen In
1823.
In 1533 )he Texas colonists formed a
constitution, and Stephen Austin and
other delegates visited the City of Mex
ico to secure its ratification and the
admission of Texas to the Mexican con
federacy. Owing to tho existence of
revolution and anarchy In Mexico they
failed of their object, and Austin was
taken prisoner and detained In Mexico
until September, 1839. On bis release
he returned to Texas, and was made
commandant of the Texas army, and
went as commissioner to Washington
to obtain from the United States gov
ernment a recognition of Texas as an |
Independent republic, and Its admis
sion into the American union as a
State. But he did not live to see the
accomplishment of his desires, for he
died in Texas December 87,1830.
Texas proclaimed her independence
acd seceded from Mexico on March 8,
IB3H. nearly ten months befor* fhi
death of Austin. But Texas th not
annexed to the Cnlted. States until De
cember 89, 1543, ten years after his
dc :vth. The capital was called "Aus
*<ln" In honor of Stephen F. Austin, and

ures give an idea of the extent of the
production of steel throughout the
worlds
"The world's product of Bessemer
steel in 1802 would have made a 00l- |
onnade of pillars 80 feet in diameter j
end 100 high, 1.G73 in number, extend
ing over three milrs, SHQ on each hand,
©r a single row over six mileo long.
Every working day in that year there
was produced the equivalent of be*
tween five and six such columns, and a
day's work resulted in the output of
nearly as much ac was the total annual
B1 of the great city of Sheffield at
c of Bessenier's invention. The
production of Beeaemer steel

equivalent of a column 100 feet

large gas holder, uud 8,684 feet 6
Inches high—a mile and a third, 'f hie
would be 16% time* as hifjh as the cross
en the dome of St. Paul's in London.
One-twelfth of its altitude would meas
ure the production of a slngte month
and would rise to above the height of
the Washington monument. A single
hour would yield a pillar of steel nine
feet in diameter and about 140 feet
high, the altitude of » tall ehuroh
steeple. The work of a yenr would
construct a steel wall five feet In
ness, 20 feet high and 100 miles long,
which would be enough to inclose an
area of about 800 square miles, tnilea
in diameter, sufficient to inclose Lon
don and,its suburbs in a circle radiaV
ing over 80 miles from St. Paul's or the
feank. The foundation of the wall it
aelf would occupy 60 acres*.
