A French scientist has recently dis
covered a means of increasing tho
illuminating power of ordinary coal
gas about fifteen times. The increase
is accomplished by supplying a small
l>ut constant current of air to tho
finme. A tiny electric motor is fixed
in the body of the gas lamp which is
a diminutive ventilator. The motor
is run by a current supplied by a
couple of small accumulators. The
flume has a remarkable brilliancy, and
lamps have been constructed on this
pattern with an illuminating power of
830-candle power.
The young King of Spain saw his
first bull fight tho other day, an
nounces the Now York Tribune. His
mother, who has a horror of tho brutal
sport, postponed the event as long as
possible; but even she was unable to
override the ancient court precedent
that prescribes attendanco on bull
fights as part of the education of a
Christian monarch. Tho little chap
viewed tho sport without betraying
«uy enthusiasm, and departed without
rewarding tiie successful matador, in
accordance with custom. And some
Spaniards, therefore, fear that ho may
bring discredit on his order and rnco
by taking a stand agaiust the National
sport when he growj to' man's estate.

is about that of ono or two. Barely
does history record an instance where
a country so small has been invaded
by an army so great, and when it is

they have the more or less effective

EFFECT OF A STORY.
ERHAPS it was
M partly her fanlt,
or may be it was
all his fault. Any
way, they had just
i a quarrel, one
I . J nnt little affairs in
which neither one
"—nor the other will
give in or acknowledge being in the
wrong, but thinks it the duty of the
other, equally blameless participant,
of course, to first say, "I am sorry."
And it was their first quarrel, too.
Then he falls back on the old re
sort and says,"l am going to the
club." He gets his hat and coat and
is about to open the door to step out
when she holf repents and asks him
not togo, but to stuv at home with
her, "at least one evening in the week."
But he is either obstinate to her ap
peal or does not hear her, for he closes
the door with a bang and leaves her
alone, to return, perhaps at midnight,
perhaps at dawn. Then she takes the
usual course, throws herself on a
lounge and cries.
He goes directly to the club. There
ho meet a few of his friends and they
sit down for a smoke. Thus they sit
for perhaps half an hour, when the
entrance of a rather fat individual
seems to creato quite a oommotion
among the smokers. He is besieged
on the right and loft to como and join
them in their smoke and RobertLang
don wonders who this rather stout in
dividual who enjoys such popularity
can be. "Major Hunt, one of the
most capital story tellers we hove had
for some time," answers one of his
friends, in reply too laughing query
lrom Laugdon. "Wait until you hear
one of his stories; you will think so,
too."
"Major, this is my friend Lang
don."
The Major has hurdly made hinself
comfortable before ho is asked to to
tell one of his stories, and after a
while yields to the entroaties of tho
crowd and begins:
"There is not an army post in the
country, or in the world, which has
not some little romance interwoven in
its history. But one which I espe
pceially remember is ono in which
the faithfulness of woman, as 1 will
■jail it, played sbch an important part
as to fix the story in my mind for
3ver.
"It was about five years ago, at a
Western fort, that this incident hap
pened. Wo had there o young private
who came, I believe, from tho some
where. I never did fiud out exactly
where ho came from, and I have even
forgotten his name now. He seemed
to be an indifferent sort of n fello.v,
rarely joining tho rest of the men in
their larltß, and keeping pretty much
to himself. Ho was a handsomi
young man, too, nearly six feet
tall, if I remember correctly. It was
his mysterious manners which made us
wonder what he did with himsolf dur
ing his spare moments —that is, when
his time was not required by Uncle
Sam. We tried in vain to find out.
All that we could ever learn of him
was that he was always in his mess
room during these intervals, and his
companion privates there said, 'He
reads and reads all the time,' that's
all. Army life did not seem to agree
with him very much and we oould not
see why he ever entered into it. Still
there was no one in the fort with
nerve enough to ask him the questions
we wero so anxious to have answered.
He was the oue mystery of the fort.
Perhaps you will wonder why we offi
oers should take any interest in a
common private, but bofore I am
through yon will see who that was.
"What was also a mystery to us was
how ho had managed to become well
enough acquainted with the quarter
master's daughter to be seen occasion
ally out walking with her. Her name,
you must remember distinctly, is
Genevieve Hntle. She was the belle
of the fort. I do not believe to this
day that there was hardly a man in
that fort at that timo who would not
have stood even Indian torture if sho
had eo wished—but don't be alarmed,
gentlemen. No such thought would
ever have entered that girl's mind.
And then sho was very beautiful. Per
haps this had something to do with it.
Those among us who had beeu sick
had especial roasons for feeling grate
fnl to her, for as soou as she heard o.'
a case of sickness she seemed to be on
pins and needles until she received
consent from her father to nurse the
sick one, whether ho was officer or
private. In truth, her kiuduess and
charitableness to all made adorers uut
of half the men in the fort, aud the
other half were dead in lovo with her.
"Now to get down to th« story. One
day there came tho announcement
that the Indians hail on the war
LAPORTE, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1895.
path and that the men should be got
ia readiness to leave at almost any
moment to hunt down a battd of rov
ing bucks, who were thought to be in
oar neighborhood, before they had
maoh chance of robbing and killing
the settlers. One morning the com
mand came, and a troop of cavalry
was dotailed togo oat, and, if possi
ble. bring them in. Tho matter had
now taken qalte a serious turn, for
the few bucks who had started tho dep
reciations on a small scale had been
joined by the others, until several hun
dred of them had gone on the war
path in dead earnest. It happened
that the mysterious private's troop was
the one detailed togo out first on a
sort of a reoonnoitering trip, and if on
investigation it was thought necessary
to send out more men they were to re
turn for reinforcements.
"It was a busy scene at the fort that
morning. Soon the bugle sounded,
the men leaped into their saddles and
moved up to the gate of the fort. It
was a proud moment for the men who
composed that troop, for it was their
first actual expedition after the enemy.
Then camo the sound of the buglo
ngain and the men wore off, with tho
cheers of their comrades ringing in
their ears.
"We in the fort hod many anxious
hours that day and night, wondering
how the expedition would turn oat,
though we little thoaght that there
would be any serious results. They
would probably return, we thought,
with the whole band of redskins as
prisoners. We had no idea tbat the
red imps would dare defy them or
much less fire on them.
"During the night a terrible snow
storm set in, however, and wo kept
anxious watch to see if they would
give up the chase on this account and
return to the fort. Bht no. The night
passed away and dawn still saw no
trace of the men. The storm seemed
to becomo moro furious with tho ad
vent of day, and the blinding flakes
mado it impossible to see many feet
outsido the fort. Then misgivings re
garding tho safety of the men began
to take form. AVe had now almost for
gotten tho Indians, and our only
thoughts were of the men and how
they would manage to return to the
fort in this terrible storm. Abont
noon there was a lull in the wind and
snow, and couriers were sent out to
see if any trace of the troop could bo
found. They might be wandering a
a few miles outside tho fort, wo
thought, unable to find their way in.
Tho searchers returned, however,after
a fruitless search, saying that it was
impossible to find any trace of them,
not knowing exactly where to look lor
them. The ground, of course, having
been oovored by the snowstorm after
their departure, it was impossible to
follow in their tracks."
"About 3 o'clock in tho afternoon,
however, we were rewarded in our
watch by seeing a dark mass off to tho
west, and as it drew nearer a shout
went up from tho watchers, as wo dis
covered our missing troop.
"When the men rodo into fort again
they wero ,plicd with questions as to
what they had done during tho terri
blo storm. But the queries were cut
short by tho announcement that they
had been pursued by at least throo
hundred ludians, who hadpourod bul
lets into the little troop tor a while,
and that one man was missing alto
gether. Then for tho first time wo no
ticed that many of tho men were cov
ered with blood. They had not been
out of the fort five hours, they said,
when they wero attacked by a bond of
redskins most unexpectedly, for they
bad no idea that they wero so near tho
fort. Thoy seemed to havobeen wait
ing for them, for their retreat back
was cut off by half tho band, while tho
rest kept up a fire on them from am
bush. They managed to got out of it
without the loss of any men, however.
A hot fire had been kept up on both
sides while tho retreat lasted, and sev
eral on our side had been wounded,
nud, as some of tho men insisted, the
Indians had lost quite a few to the
happy hunting grounds. They at lost
gave up the ohase when tho storm set
in. The 'mysterious private' was
missed when the troop emerged from
a strip of woods about twenty miles
from the fort. He was wounded dur
ing the fight, and had evidently Riven
up tho flight from exhaustion. While
the men were telling this we stood
about and wondered what would bo
done to find the poor fellow, who had
now undoubtedly passed into another
world.
'Tho storm had again oommeneed
with seemingly added fury, and wo
realized what a dangerous undertaking
it woald be for anyone to set out with
the intention of findiug tho poor fel
low's body. We retired to our quar
ters afte. hearing no end of narrow
escape stories from Home of the pri
vates, to await orders from the com
mandant as to tho next move.
"We had all given up tho idea of
going after tho body by nightfall—
that is, all but one.
"Before my time for arising tho
next morning thero came to ray ears
tho loudest cheering, mixed with
shouts, that I have ever heard in all
my lifetime. I hastily dropped into
my clothes and ran out to seo what
was up. Near tho gate I saw almost
tho entire population of tho fort, so
it. iL' tned to mo, most of thorn en
gaged in cheering aud shouting over
something. Beforo I reached tho
crowd it partod and two persons rodo
toward me—the 'mysterious private'
aud Genovievo Hutle. As sbu pissed
ue, standing almost glued to the spot
with surprise, she callqd out, 'Pleas
ant morning, Major,' just as though
she had oome in irom a morning's
pleasure rido.
"That girl had actually ridden out
of tho fort at dawn to tlud that young
scamp, who did not seem to bo hurt at
all—save for a few scratches such as
tho rest of the troop* bad reeeivod.
Shu ha 1 nut him, fortunately, ri Ii :i
toAnrd the foil, cr HuJ Know* what
might have become of that brave girl
in the snow. It surprised me a little
perhaps, to see her so happy after
such a dangerous undertaking.. Bat
that was, of coarse, natural then, as I
did not know what had passed be
twen them on that ride.
"Daring the absence of the yoang
fellow one of his comrades had oheek
enough to examine his effects—to find
ont who he was and notify his rela
tives of his death, so he said, but as I
believe, to see what the dace it was
that kept him so busy daring the
evenings. Bnt the big stories the man
expected to tell of what he fonnd are
still untold, for he found 'only a lot
of books, principally law books,
newspaper clippings ot testimony in
trials and a lot of other useless trash,'
as he expressed himself. What the
deuce the fellow was doing with theso
was more than he conld imagine. Then
a great light burst upon me. Im
agine n private in the service of Uncle
Sam giving up all the pleasures of
army service—very few there are—
for the sake of studying law, ahd you
have a view of our 'mysterious pri
vate,' with the mystery cleared up.
"Well, as you have perhaps already
guessed, they both left us a few
months later. The young fellow's en
listment expired, and I guess he was
pretty tired of army life. He went to
New York, I be'ieve, taking the belle
of tho fort with him. I have strong
reasons to bclievo that this was settled
during that rido into tho fort. I
heard of him once since then. One of
his friends at the fort said he had
quite a law practice down East here.
"The Indians were rounded up af
terward and subdued. They were
scared, I guess, by what they had
done, and—"
"What's tho matter, Langdon, not
gcing nlready, ore you? The story
did not effect you so seriously, did it?
Why, man, I actually believe there
are tears in your eyes!"
"Well, no--but—l roally havo to
go now. I havo an appointment at
home and I'vo got togo now, or I am
liublo to be late.
Whether Robert Langdon had an
appointment at home or not, does not
matter much. Sufficient is it to say
that he did go directly home, where he
found his wife on tho lounge, just
where she had thrown herself as ho
left togo the club. A sob greeted
him as ho approached her.
"Genevieve, can you forgive me?
It was all my fault, and if you'll for
give mo, I'll never do it again."
Sho turned up her tear-stained face
to him and he bent over and kissod
her, wondering how it over entored
into him to bo so cruel.
"No, it was not your fault, it was
mine. I actually drove you to that
horrid club, when I know you don't
care togo there."
"Well, wo will not fight about that
•just now. Do you remember Major
Hunt at tho fort? I heard him tell
a story at tho club to-night—a story
of how a young girl at a Western fort,
a few yoars ago, rode out into the
snow to rescue a man who had got
iost from his troop, and how sho
brought him in safe and souud. Shall
I tell it to you? I remember it, word
for word."
"No, you need not, and if you're
not going to stop your everlasting talk
about that I am just going to get
angry again ; now !"

Transplanting Teeth.
Among tho wonders of modern stir
gory there is nothing more remarka
ble than tho transplanting of teeth.
Some years ago a dentist on tho Pa
cific coast created a sensation by ex
tracting a tooth from the jaw of ono
person and inserting it in tho jaw of
iiuother. Since that timo the opera
tion has been repeatedly tried, but
with not altogether satisfactory re
sults. At least twenty-five per cent,
of tho cases have failed of success.
Considering that the oxperiment is iu
its iufancy, this is encouraging. The
method is to select the tooth required
for the purpose, jiains being taken
that it is of just tho size and Bhapo to
fit the space of the one removed. The
crown is severed from the root, which
is thon deprived of its pericementum
and shaped to suit the operator. A
thorough cleansing of the nerve canal
is next in order, then the apex of the
root is filled and hermetically sealed
with a tiny platina tube carefully
fitted into the nerve canal. After the
most careful course of antisoptie
treatment the socket is prepared to
received the new root, which is se
cured in placo and so covered that it
is safe from shocks and pressure. Aftor
about six weeks, or when the union
has taken place, provided the opera
tion is successful, a porcelain crown
is attached to tho root and the patient
has a fine, strong aud natural-looking
tooth.—New York Ledger.

and the usual crowd attendod tho auc

out any incident, but in tho second
day's procoodings a remarkable inci

lot of the books was oT.-red a gentle
man walked into the room and asked
tho auctioneer if he'could purchase the

UJSt'LE SAM'S SICKNESS.
We regret that our artist has, been
compelled to bring Uncle Sam's seri

circulation in his system. He has al

vitality to such an extent that Uncle
Sam is still a very sick man.
Uncle Sam's advisers, not satisfied
with the treatment which was being
administered by tho family physicians,
called in the services of Doctor John
Bull, giving him ccmplote control
over their patient and curtly dismiss
ing the doctors who were formerly in
attendance. By tho injection of
strong doseß of gold cure, Doctor
Bull was enabled to restore Uncle
Sam's vitality to a normal condition,
but weakness has again shown itself.
His circulation has becomo seriously

201 less money paid for material used
—the wool of tho farmer. Perhaps the
result might not be so bad. We might
.be able to snatch some of the trade at
the last minute by nsiug shoddy in
stead of wool as tho Yorkshire manu
facturers do. Business must be quite
lively with the Eurupeau rag picket,
Won't Buy Onr Provision*.
We are capturing the markets of th)
world in great shapj. Our provision
trade exports show that we shipped
abroad to the extent of $3,106,000 less
last month than in September, 189-4.
We sold over $800,099 less cattle,
$1730 less hogs, $125,009 less canned
beef, $300,000 less fresh beef, $55,000
less salt beef, $55,009 less tallow,
$1,800,000 less bacon, $130,000 less
hams, $13,000 less oleomargarine,
$43,000 less oleo oil, and $447,700
less cbeeso. This is a remarkable rec
ord of captures in one month. It is a
record that farmers will appreciate.
Strange that tho freo trade papers

A loss of upward of 8116,000,000 ia
circulation, within n couple years,
would kill many people, but Uncle
Sam's extraordinary strength and re
soiuces have enabled him to pull
through, although his reserve forco
has again fallen below what is usually
regarded as a safe limit to sound
health.
The agony that Uncle Sam appears
to endure is probably increased by
the knowledge that, in his weak and
helpless condition, Doctor John Bull
has pocketed a ten million dollar fee.
There is a mingled look of pain and
disgust upon his honest old counte
nance. He will recover, however, with
better treatment from wiser counselors.
The Free Trade Machine.
The Thraat -No' Withdrawn.
Tho Democratic press of the conn
try is seeking to turn aside the eyes of
the people from the issue of tariff for
protection. The profession is made
that tho tariff issue is at an ond. But
these papers have not told ns when
and where it wan that Mr. Cleveland
retracted his deliberate threat, made
when he denouuoed tho Gorman-Wil
son bill as "party perfidy aud party
dishonor," that he would enter tho
raaks as a private soldier and fight to
overthrow the Gorman bill and substi
tute free trade. Nor does it upp:«ar
that Mr. Wilson, who is tho acknowl
edged exponent of the Administration'#
views upon this question, has retracted
his throat to make uuceasing warfare
upou the Gorman bill.
