Iii one of the western Indian out-
breaks years ago four men and
a boy in a lonely silver
mine. T i; mine was merely a lat-
hole dug in the mountain side,
with a rude pole shack shanty
near by, on a bit of more level
ground. It was twenty-two miles
from the nearest mining camp,
where there was a cluster of shafts
and forty or fifty men.
Tho party of live, thus weak and
remote from help, were attacked by
twenty or more Indians, who were
repulsed with a of three war-
Then the savages camped In
a grove about a quarter of a

t rail.
They counted upon killing who-
ever should attempt to leave the
mine for tho settlement, or come

They knew that the miners had no
large supply of provisions. They
had their prey penned in a trap.
There was no way out for the min-
except by the trail. Above the
mine the mountain towered
Even if climbed, it would
load only a wild region of peaks
and gorges-
In front of the mine the ground
sloped steeply down into the broad,
grassy valley of a mountain brook.
Both above and below the mine the
mountain Hanks curved to the val-
with abrupt and impassable
crags. As the slope In front was
very steep, the trail ran diagonally
down to the brook, along a natural
gutter made by the water of melting
snow.
For several days the besieged min-
quietly wailed. Knowing how
seldom Indians have to
maintain a siege, they hoped the
ages would leave. Rut the
rapidly became desperate. The
miners wore almost worn out with
watching against sight attacks and
exchanging long shots with their
besiegers all day.

The value of ivory depends some-

It Is a Mew for Testing

A new and novel instrument is
the or dust-testing
It is not a complicated
scientific machine, being solely in-
tended for estimating in an easy and
simple manner the amount of
and number of dust particles in
the atmosphere. The action of the
instrument is based on certain color
phenomena associated with what is
called condensation of
and which can be produced by steam-
jets, high or low temperature of the
air, the increased number of dust-
nuclei, etc. In working the
scope the air is drawn into the
by means of a common air
pump and quickly passes to the test
tubes, which arc fitted with glass at
both ends. When the tube thus
charged Is held toward the light

these there were twenty barges lost

If she writes a letter of condo-

she sends congratulations to a bride

In Austria, the
very rare event of a mother,
and granddaughter each giving
birth to a son on the same day
curred, says the London Standard.
The mother is forty-eight, and the
infant son is her sixteenth child.
The daughter, who has presented
her husband with his eighth, is
years old; and the grand-
daughter, who was married last
year, is not yet quite sixteen. All
tho three new-born sons are strong
and healthy, and the same may be
said of their mothers, who belong to
the Polish peasant class.

The wardrobe of Queen
must have been about the most
and extensive ever recorded in
royal to judge from a list of
her wearing apparel recently
from the state papers. When
the maiden queen was sixty-eight,
and might therefore have been sup-
posed to have outlived some of her
youthful vanity, she possessed
ninety-nine complete official cos-
one hundred and two French
gowns, one hundred robes with
trains and sixty-seven without, one
hundred and twenty-six antique
dresses, one hundred and thirty-six
bodices, one hundred and twenty-
five tunics, not to mention such
trifles as ninety-six mantles, eighty-
five dressing gowns and twenty-
seven fans. With all these dresses,
however, it is curious to note that
Queen Bees only owned nine pairs of
shoes. When she died, in 1603, three
thousand of apparel were
found in Her wardrobe duly

Two newsboys sat on tho stairs

time succeeded in lining the coat.

rather small.
