A Perpetual Person Now Living in the Rooky Mountains. UIS Plan et Gaining IninuntaUty•-illow lie Cagrledlt Out, A correspondent writes that he knows a man living in it certain region of the Rocky Mountains who merely wished to live to be 500 years old at least and enjoy himself svith utter immunity from physical decay for that period, and who attained the corporal con- dition necessary for the fulfilment of his de- sire by exchanging the gaseous part of his organism for aluminium. On the occasion of the correspondent's first meeting him he explained his materialistic views of life and his other ideas at great length, and then spoke of the remarkable project which he eventually carried out. I asked him, writes the correspondent, how he proposed to defeat the laws of na- ture? No man in history had compassed such au age, except those recorded in the Old Testament. "That," said he, "is precisely what con- firras me in my belief. If Methuselah com- passed nearly one thousand years, why should not I reach half that span? The trou- ble is that some element in the human make- up is wanting. I propose to find it, and with an electric battery which I propose to invent I will torce out the ephemeral and weakening elements and introdece a more substantial one." "This is sheer nonsense," I replied. •"The elements composingthe huinan body are so aptly and evenly adjuated that to dis- turb any one of them would result in death, so that yoa will only succeed in shortening the life that God has given you." At this point in the conversation he paused for an instant, not from any lack of argument but in order that he might scan me more closely, I was no less interested in observing him. He was a man about thirty-six years of age, and I will never forget while life lasts the picture he re- sented while he stood there, his fine form outlined against- the sky, his dark -blue eyes lighted up with interest and deep thought, his hands clasped as if he would wring out the secret be so loaged to possess. Suddenly he was roused from his con- templative mood, and with great delibera- tion took a paper package from the inside pocket of his coat. Selecting a slip from the bundle he handed it to me with a request that I would read it. I found the slip to read as follows : wieer A eiale IS MADE OF. Man is composed of thirteen elements, of which are five gases and eight solids. If we consider the chemical composition of a man of average weight, of 154 pounds, we find that, bi e s largely composed of oxygen, whieh is in a state of extreme compression ; in fact, a man weighing 164 pound e has 97 pounds of compressed oxygen in his make- up. The volume of this at an ordinary tem- perature, if freed, would. exceed 980 cubic feet. The weight of the hydrogen is only diteen pounds, but were this in a free state, at, a temperature of seventy-eight de- grees, it would occupy a space equal to 2,8Z0 cubic feet. The other three gases are nitrogen, nearly four pounds chlorine, about twenty-six ounces ; and fluorine, three and onedwelfth ounces. Of the solids carbon stands at the head of the metal- loids, there being about thirty-one pounds. Next comes phosphorus, twenty-six =sees, and sulphur three ounces. The most abun- dant metal is calcium, more than three pounds; next, potassium, two ounces; and iron, ono ounce. Of common salt there are two ounees. I read the document through and saw that it contained a chemical analysis of a roan's body. "Now do you understand?" said be. I failed to catch the drift of his inquiry and confessed that I was more deeply mys- tified than ever, if that were possible. "Can you not see my friend ?" he said, in is low but petulant tone, " that I pro- pose to °Herniate the -flitting, ephemeral geses contained in the human body and sub- stitute in their piece a solid, metallic sub- stance, thus rendering the human form di- vine, not only in name, but in stability and endurance." Yes, I saw. It was plain to be seen that the man was insane, but in such a case ar- gument was useless. I was then on my way to Helena, Mon., and was obliged to be at that place on the follosving day to meet a business engozement. I was dealing in mines, in those days, and expected to meet a party of capitalists who had come out for the purpose of buying a gold mine which. I had in hand. I would gladly have convirced my friend of the utter futility of his hopes, but deemed the task beyond my powers of persuasion. So I bade him good - day, and mounting my horse, rode on to- wards my point of destination. That was the last I saw of him for five years. The sale which I expectedwould make me a rich men did not take place ; re- verses followed, ani I found myselrat the owl of five years prospecting in the moun- tains neer the spet where 1 first mot the man who was going to revolutionize human- ity by introducing more metal and less gas into its anatomy. As a matter of come I was anxious to learn the result of his experiment, believing in my own mind that be was doubtless at the time confined in some lunatic asylum. I rode ine to bis dwelling -place, which was a beautiful spot by a mountain stream and near a waterfall; The only person visible was a man engaged in stringing cop- per wires on poles in the yard. I enquired of him if the owner of the place was at home. He said he Was in the house, and asked me to alight and walk in. I did so, and to my surprise met my friend of five years before. He did not look it day older, and except that he was intensely pale, and that his features appeared as if they had been cast in a mould, he seemed to be par- ticularly strong and supple. He knew me at once'and his greeting was exceedingly kind. He said he was glad to see me, and I noticed that his voice had a peculiar me- tallic, bell -like sound that was pleasing to the eel-. lie was dressed in a working suit and stated that he had just been experi- menting with some electrical apparatus of his own invention. His electricity, he said, cost him nothing, as he ecured all he wanted by utilizing the waterfall. Surely, I thought, he must be still on the hobby. Apparently divining my thoughts he smiled, but offered no explanation. We chatted for some time upon indiffer- ent subjects, but the thought that waseup- permost in my mind was the experiment, At last I could no longer curb my curiosity.. so I asked him how he had succeeded in his attempt at strengthening the human form, "blest admirably," said he without any attempf at evasion. 'r'am iiow, 'thanks t� discoveries in electricity in metallurgy, a frea and independent being, no longer haidpered with, cares ; neither am I subject to sickness, disease or death itself, unless, perchance, it come in the shape of some un- toward accident!? I asked him upon whom or what he had experimented. "Myself," he said, , with the greatest solemnity. ' It was four years before I penetrated the secret and then all was plain sailing. I secured one hundred pounds of aluminium and with that and my eleetric apparatus, which is -most complete, I suc- ceeded ; but it was a hard struggle. Many times I was ready to give up in despair. The variety of electric. currents is almost limitless. It was a question of diseovering the right, one ; and I thought at times 1 could never succeeded, . I succeed ineeplaeing most of the oxygen, carbon and hydrogen in my body with that pure and incorrupti- ble metal aluminium, which I am abun- den tly able to prove. Aluminium, you will understend, is almost precisely the weight of water, so that my weight is now nearly the same as before a,nd, what is infinitely better, I possess the strength imparted by this wonderful material and am now ten times stronger than I was before. No bacteria can enter my syatem. I am forever free from all aches and pains. I take an electric -aluminium bath once it day and eat once a day and eat scarcely anything at all. I am endeavouring to overcome the laws of gravitation, so that I may fleet through space at will, arid eventually I hope to be able CO visit the moon when I have perfected myself a little further, so that the breathing apparatus may be dispensed with and I can subsist entirely upon electricity." That I was dumbfounded at this state- ment can well be imagined. But I did not dare ask any other questions, but sat gaz- ing in stupid awe at this man who talked of thine deemed unknowable as if they were as familiar to him as a b c. "You seem to doubt me," be said. "1 will cone -lace you and you are the only man I will ever take tile trouble to convince, tor they are not worth ir." And with that be walked out of the room and returned pres- ently with a carbon fulitr loaded. "Take that," said he, and he thrust the weapon into my heeds and walked to the other side of the room, He turned, facing me, and bared his breast, which was as white as the driven snow and shone like silver. "Now take good aim and are direttly at my heart." Oh I no, my friend," I replied, in great distress, for 1 thought the man was surely crazy. But he insisted. I still refused, and he touched ft button on the wall and I heard a gong sound. Ieu a moment the work- man 1 he,d seen in the yard entered. At a sign from his master be took the gun from my hand and before I could interfere fired point blank at the breast of my host. The aluminium man stood like a statue. I could see the mark of the leaden bullet where it had flatteued over his heart. He mime forward smiling and asked inc to ex- amine the spot where the bullet struck say- ing Jake WAS it good marksmen and always did what ba was told. 1 was so overpowered with this perform- ance that it feeling of faintness overcame me. I said my friends were expecting me back at camp, and I hurriedly took my leeve. Once outside, the fresh air revived me and I felt glad to escape. On arriving at camp I felt ashamed of my weakness and resolved to return again, but circumstances intervened whieli prevented this for several weeks. But when 1 did so, to my intense regret, I found the place deserted. Whether my aluminium friend bad disoovered the secret of gravitation and sailed away to the moon, I have never been able to learn. The Oaxe of0hildren. One of the greatest mistakewhich mothers as well as law -givers make is to ex- pect unifortnity of result from different individuals, Children, like communities, mat be regarded according to their needs and individual characteristics. Two child: roil of the same surroundings may develop diametrically oppoeite characteristics and need it diametrically opposite course of training It is tiniest to lay down a rigid law embodying what we believe should be, according to our finite knowledge, and ex- pect to mould people to it. Our conclusions are as apt to be as narrow as that of the Scotch schoolmaster who remarked to Burns's father that Gilbert was it bright boy, but Robert was clean daft and good for naething. It is not given to us to compre. bend the abilities even of those boned to us by the nearest ties. The lad who fulfils the conventional type of a. bright boy may be but a commonplace fellow beside his duller brother when he anives at mature years. If we cannot then tell the difference between the dull and the genius, bow mueb less Ishould we prestune to lay out careers for our children to follow. Only the All -wise Father, who gives to each his gifts in his degree, can do this. The utmost that the fondest and wisest parents can dais to watch the developmentof their children, notice what their tastes are, what interests them, in what branches they seem to be proficient. It is in this way that the child is started best and at the earliest time on his most congenial and therefore his most useful start in life. It is by a kindly but intelligent parental sup- ervision of this kind that inventors, archi- tects, engineers and orators are etarted on the careers that most, fit them. It is pain- ful to think of the waste of time to which men of ability have been compelled by the foolish judgment of parents in forcing them into studies and calliugs for which they were unfitted. At the same time parents must not ex- pect too much of their children. It is na- tural to exaggerate the bright sayings and doings of those we love. But it may be carried to such an extent that keen disap- pointment will result when the child of whom so much is expected develops only into the cominon-place, sensible, every -day citizen instead of a genius. Men and wo- men of great talent are rare, anol the mass of us must expect to walk m the humble paths of life. Nothing is more dangerous to a child's future than to foster its vanity be expressing exaggerated hopes of its fu- ture. Excellent service to the child and to the world in which it lives is done by mak- ing of it a good practical citizen. Let the parents watch the bent of the child's inclin- ations, and judge from them only what call- ing he seems most fitted for. In the vast majority of cases, where it is essential that the child should be a In eid-winner as 80011 as he attains years of discretion, it may be necessary for him to do much work that is irksome and for which he has no special adaptation before he can choose it calling of his own. The man who is compelled by penury to carve out a career for himself ac- quires a rugged strength by the means that often enables him to out -distance his rival wile has moulded his life from more plastic circumstances. The time has gone by when wise people judge the young in the masses, and when the quantity of workers is of more consequence than the quality. These are the times when only the individuals who are specially adapted by their ability for the calling they have chosen are likely to make a mark. It is not enough that a lad be educated to it profession, but he must have natural adaptation to his career, or he will be a failure; and it is far better for it lad that he be a successful mechanic in the humblest wallt et then it lawyer with- out it case or a physician without a practice. Children_ cry for Pitcher's Castoriai ELECTRICAL NOTES. The- electrical department of the U. S. Patent Office is overcrowded with appli- catious for patents, same of which have been on file since last fall without teeeiv- ng preliminary examination. A telephone, exchange having about six hundred instruments is to be established in the World's Fair grounds, About twenty- five will be public toll telephones, 300 will be for the use of the Exposition °Meals and employees, and the remainder for com- mercial purposes. Connection to New York will be completed by the time the Fair opens, and will be made directly to the grounds. In England the enit of one thousand \Vett hours is hereafter to be call a "kelvin," after Lord Kelvin. The Loudon :Booed. of Trade and Sir William Thomson have ap- proved the use of the term. electrical units of measurement heretofore named after dis- tinguished foreign scientists are the volt, ohm, ampere, joule, watt, coulomb and farad. A new portable incandescent electric desk lamp has been brought out having a flexible arm so arranged that the light can be placed in any desired position, Over the lamp is an aluminium half shade which can be moved around at will so as to throw the light itt any direction. Being made of aluminium the shade will neither break nor tarnish, The ease with which telegraph messages may be understood by aey one familiar with the Morse code of signals listening to the sound of the sending inetrament, has, it is believed, caused the leakage of many secret communications of importance. A recently patented device has been brought ont which is intended to do away with the click of the sending inatruments and make thereceiving instruments sound to the operator only by, means of a resonator. The Board of Directors of the World's Fair has found it necessary to have a road built to carry the visitors from 0110 end of Jackson Park to the other, and it has been decided that this intramural railway shall be an electric: system. • The road will be elevated, double -tracked and aornetbing over five miles in length, with stations at in. als 1,000 feet. The contract calls for of carrying 20,000 passengers per hour, and it tgeer is proposed to run trains of four cars, includ- ing the motor, with it capacity of 320 passen- rsv, One thousand eight hundred operatives, with a weekly payroll of $40,000, are em- ployed in the railway department of the Thomson -Houston Company at Lynn, Mass. Tlic total number of electric roads this coin - party has in operation and under contract is 30, and the total number of electric oars, 4,569. A monster marble switchboard, 18 feet long and 10 feet high, having plugs for 40 are circuits, which is the largest board ever constructed, is now building at this f actory for the Narragansett station at Prov- idence. It is made up of 3,500 pounds of marble, 1,793 pounds of brass, 6,400 brass bushings, 9,300 brass nuts, Loor, steel bolts, 6,040 brass washers, 3,040 rebber bushings, 3,200 rubber buttons, 200 brass screws, 3,400 brass connections, 320 brass binding posts, 640 feet of copper wire, 80 contact plugs and 8 cast-iron standards. The cable that is to be laid between Seine. gal, in Africa, and Pernambuco, in Brazil, is now on its way to the Africau coast in the British steamship Sfivertown. It was taken aboard coiled up m three tanks azd ready for paying out at the bow end of the vessel, not at the stern, as was formerly the cus- tom. A number of nevr inventions have been used in the construction of this cable. It is of varying thickness, ranging from two and one-quarter tons per knot to four and one-balf tons: according to the depth of the water in which it is to be laid, while the shore ends weigh alma fifteen tons per knot. At Senegal tl,re shore end is to be covered by a hut and loft in charge of a - electrical engineer, who will be in communi- cation day and night with the eable-bearing ship. Signala will be exchanged every five minutes during the whole operation of lay- ir g the cable to Brazil. In the deep sea the cable will be paid ont at the rapid rate of ten knots an hour, though large allowance must be made for stoppages through im- pediments 1,000 fathoms deep. According to the engineer in charge the line will be laid and the Silvertown back in England before the end of the month of July. Aboard the steamer there is a large staff of engineers and assistants who work in four- hour shifts and then have etht hours off. The strain upon them while on duty is very severe. The cable is 2,165 miles long. The Swat Oat. Two young men who were anxious to be- come fly fishermen, but had had neither time nor moneyto indulge in the pastime, and had only given serious thought to the sport after they had become family mon, went, at the opening of the trout season, to it district where they had heard that the ponds and brooks running into mill ponds were not. closed to the public. Each chose it different route. One came home with a few small perch, which he assured his wife were delicious pan fish, and were almost as hard to catch as trout, and were considered by mealy epicures to be the better fish. The other man had it dozen or more fine trout to show for his day's angling. His friend's jealousy and astonishment found vent in inquiries. "Look bore, Tom," be said, "this fly fishing is as new to you as it is to me. How do you manage to have always the same re- sult? I've fished in the same brooks and ponds, and never got anything but perch." Tom declered it was "all a matter of skill and instinct," but Jack determined to ferret out the truth. He hired a small boy to keep Tom in sight from the time he boarded the train until he reached the city, and this is the small boy's report: " You see when he got to Rs ---he just went off on the back road and dug about a pint, of Worms, and then, before lie went on the pond, he got a net full of killies from the creek the other side of the dam. Then he got a boat and ;owed around the pond awhile, kind o' looking around, before he anchored, and when he found the right place he threw out a few worms, and thea got out a book and began to read. After a while he threw out more worms, and kept on reading, and then he threw some killies, and I just thought he was stark, staring mad; but by and by he put away his book, got out his pole, and I could see fish jumping all around his boat. And then, I tell you, he began to fish." "With the fly? " interrupted the hearer. " ezzer, if you mean the new arrange- ment city chaps use ; yezzer, and I bet you he just: pulled in the fish a -smiling all the time, and then I knew what a smart 'un he was. It's the best dodge yet, but you may just bet I'm up to that now." So was the other man. It has often bean observed that the nails actually grow on the stumps of amputated fingers. ' Cultivation of the Hair. Vigorous brushing of the bair with it stiff brush Wall aaaemplish wonders with the most unruly aud most obstinate of locks. To be successful sueli treatment must be persisted in. A good-sized brugh with stiff unbleached bristles obould be chosen for this purpose. 2.11 saarls should be taken out of the hair gently with ta comb. Every part of the hair snould then be brushed vigorously and long enough so that each portion shall receive at least thirty,. strokes of the brush. If such treatment as this is continued for five or six weeks the result will convince the most incredulous of the value of this treatment. The hair and the scalp should be washed ae often as once a month, but not oftener unless the hair is oily. No alkali like borax or strong stimulant like bay ram should be used in washing the hair, but simple caetile soap and lukewarm water. After washing the hair, all soap should be thoroughly - rinsed out with separate waters. The haar should then be dried, strand by strand, with abundance of warm towels.. Where the hair falls out, a simele preparation of ordinary tea or if this does not prove efficacious, of sage tea., applied to the roots of the hair with a sponge, will useally prove an effectual cure, and moreover, will tend to prevent the accamulation of scaly dan- druff which accompanies this trouble of the scalp. If the hair is naturally inclined to be dry, a little vaseline applied to the scalp near the mote will stimulate it to a heelthy con- (lition. If, on the contrary, it is too oily, it should be washed every two weeks instead of once a inonth. It is wise to avoid all lotions for the hair which you know nothing about, as mauy of these contain in- jurious ingredients and stimulate it to au unhealthy condition, and e entuelly cause it to hill out. Crofter Colonization. The Royal Commisaion on crofter col- on/lotion has Piet issued its third report. It is only moderately favorable. lb states that the Manitobn settlers have now pre- pared 3000 acres for cultivation, against 2,300 last year. The total value of the buildings and stock is about £16,000 ster- ling. .A.t Saltcoat in the North-west le s progress is reported, the aareage cultivated showing only aslight increase. No Vender.
