MEN AS PACK ANIMALS.
THE CARGADORS OF MEXICO COM
PETE WITH HORSES AND MULES,
Carrying Enormous Loads for Incred
ible Distances—Working Cheaper
Than the Beasts of Burden.
ONE of tho most interesting in
stitutions in the Mexican re
public is the cargador. This
cargador is a hardy and pow
erfully built man who enrns a living
by carrying upon his back heavy loads,
a cargo being a measure of weight of
300 pounds which such a person is sup
posed to bo able to carry, hence the
name cargador.
Tho peculiar individual is not the
product of a single section of the
country; on the contrary, his sphere
is general. In the citios he is one of
the first persons whom a stranger meets
as ho alights from the platform of the
! cars or tho step of tho stage coach.
The cargador rushes up to the arrival
and offers to carry his baggage, from
his hand satchel up to his heaviest
trunk, regardless of its weight, or size,
or the distance to be covered. In the
city ho also enters into successful com
petition with tho pack mules and de
livery wagons, carrying heavy loads
of merchandise to and from tho busi
ness houses, aud in such places where
corn and fodder have become un
commonly dear through prevailing
drought, or where the streets are
stony and uneven, the cargador has al
most entirely superseded both pack
mules and delivery wagon.
While such are his chief occupations
he does not draw the line at anything,
and can be frequently seen carrying
ore out of the mines, water through
the town, and even corpse and collin
to the grave.
# Out of tho city the occupation of the |
cargador is equally diversified. Above
all things he is a pack man, as the
mule, horse, or übs is a pack animal,
and he enters into active competition
\yith them in the matter of carrying j
freight into and out of towns where j
railroads have not yet made their ad- I
vent, or where tho topography of the j
country precludes tho use of tho heavy |
freight wagons. In places where he
has tho least advantage over tho ani
mals thero ho thrives best. This per
haps accounts for the great numbers
in which ho exists in the almost inac
cessible "sierra" districts.
Tho mountain cargador, who scales
tho dizzying precipices and descends
tho deep ravines of tho Sierra Madres,
is by far the hardiest and most inter
esting type of his class. Five feet six
inches is his usual height, and 140
pounds tb.e averago weight. Ho be
longs to the dark complexioned and
ignorant portion of tho masses, called
by tho better class of people "In
dios."
As he stands before one, so short,
slightly stooped, with thin, long face
and apparent lack of chest, one would
scaroely think him capable of walking
the smoothest level with such stagger
ing loads as ho daily packs through
some mountain pass. To be fully ap
preciated he must be seen stripped of
his shirt and with his cotton trousers
rolled up, ready to pick up his load.
Then the powerful development of
this swarthy man of the mountain can
bo observed at his best. His neck is
one mass of bard muscles. His shoul
ders are broad and magnificently
strong, while the actions of the
large and powerful sinews can
bo traced at every motion that
he makes. His feet, protected j
only by sandals, or "guaraches," as is i
called the hard leather solo tightly
strapped between tho toes, over the
arch of the instep and around the
ankle, have acquired a hardness that
makes them impervious to the sharp
and pointed rocks among which he
picks his way.
Such is his physical makeup. In all
other respects ho is not unlike the
thousands of Mexicans of tho lower
class—filthy and treacherous. Like
people of his kind the world over, he
wastes his life between tho making
and tho spending of a penny. Food
costs him but a few cents and lodging
not a farthing. He risos from his out
of-door couch in tho early morning
hour and walks many miles before he
stops for breakfast. A cup of coffee
and a few hot tortillas, which are a
pastry of mashed corn and water, and
servo as a substitute for bread, form
his morning meal. For dinner he
feasts on tortillas, a plate of beans and
a cup of black coffee. At supper fol
low more beans, more tortillas and an
other cup of coffee. If he is somewhat
of an epicure and plays in exception
ally good luck ho gets a piece of dried
beef now and then or gloats over a
nice fried egg. His three meals, if
particularly luxurious, cost him about
four cents apiece, though he often
manages to live on six cents a day.
Manzatlan, the interesting seaport
on tho Pacific coast of the State of
Sinaloa, has long been the great car
gador center of Mexico, partly 011 ac
count of its importance ns a comnier- I
eial city, ami partly on account
of its location at the foot of the Sierra
Madre Mountains and the entrance of
the various passes across them. In
this city tho cargador freighter loads
hin goods for the interior mountain
towns and the cargador peddler pur
chases his wares, which are imported
by the large mercantile establish
ments, tho branch houses of old-estab
lished European business concerns, or
goods which are smuggled into the
country by the daring shippers who
frequent this coast.
With his stock of goods, which is
limited only by tho size of his ex
chequer, the peddler starts forth to
vend his wares. One poddies notions,
another drygoods aud clothing, still
another light housekeeping goods, and |
so 011. Each carries his stock econom- 1
ically packed in a light wicker basket.
This lie holds and carries upon his
buck by means gf 11 strong leather
strap attached to the basket and fast
ened around his forehead. Thus, his
powerful neck is brought into play
and made to carry the heavy load,
which rests only lightly upon his
back. 111 this manner the cargador
peddler carries his heavy burden into
every village and town in the almost
impassable heights of the Sierra Ma
dres. —Chicago Times.

The Science of Sleeping.
Tlio old-timo superstitious belief
that human beings should sleep with
their heads toward the north is now
believed to be based upon a scientific
principle. Some French savants have
made experiments upon the body of a
criminal who had suffered death, and
these tests go to prove that each hu
man body is in itself an electric bat
tery, 0110 electrode being represented
by the head and tho other by the feet.
The body of the subject upon which
the queer experiments mentioned
above were made was taken immedi
ately after death and placed upon a
pivotal board, free to move in any di
rection. After some little vaccilation
the head portion turned toward tho
north and then remained stationary.
One of the experimenters took hold of
the pivot and turned it so that the
head pointed south, but upon being
freed it almost immediately resumed
the tirst named position—turned until
the bead pointed north. To prove that
this was neither accident nor coinci
dent upon muscular twitching, as some
had suggested, the board was repeat
edly turned half around and theil
freed, but always with similar results.

A new Canadian invention for use
in the lumber districts is coining into
general use in Northern Ontario, it
is called a steam warping tug. It
propels itself on land as well as on
water, and Is used by lumbermen
whose operations are carried on
among small lakes connected by
streams of uncertain navigation.
The vessel has proved not only a
success, but a great boon to the lum
lor trade. Six of these unique crafts
havo been byllt by the inventors dur
ing the pa6t season, four completed
at their yard in Ottawa, and two
shipped, ready to be put together at
their destination in the Nlpissiug
district.
They are built in scow shape, with
steel-shod runners for moving over
land; are thirty-seven feet long, ten
feet beam, decked all over, and havo
sleeping-room for four men in the
bow; the bottom and up tiio bow Is
covered with steel boilerplate. An
engine twenty-two horse power fur
nishes steam for ten hours' work, with
three quarters of a cord of wood.
In the water it moves six miles an
hour forward or backward, as re
quired, propelled by si !o wheels.
On land it is propelled by having a
cable drum on which is coiled live
eighths of a mile of steel wire cable,
which is fastened with pulleys to a

It will move over an elevation ol

About Lightning.
: Although lightning and thunder
i | occur always simultaneously, an In
t j lorval of shortor or longer duration
I is usually observed between these two
i j phenomena, which is due lu tho fact
i | that sound travels only at the rate of
I 1,100 feet per second, while the pass
ago of light is almost Instantaneous.
| Jtasecljupou this fact it is an easy
: matter to tell, al least approximately,
how many miles a thunder-storm is
away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to tho second, and by count
ing the pulse heats during the iuter
val of the ligntnin t and tho thunder
tho lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of foot,
which can be reduced to miles.
For example: if thirty seconds
elapse between the flash of tho light
ning and the era-It of thunder, tho
storm center is at a distance of 33,-
000 feet, or about 01 miles. An al
most aocurato calculation can ho
made by using a watch with a minute
dial.—Louisville Post-Dispatch.
