Dvtpit* BpUndid Courage, Th»y N»y»r
V't-om Ok. _
The battle ttt Buena Vista was
ohb of the ‘decisive 'biitt?lbs of the
Mexican ‘★Kr. There were about 3
2b#00 MfeXietins to some .‘>,0001
United States troops engaged, and ;
the rtfsnlt ptit the northern part otf •
Mexico at-‘the 'mercy of the United
States.
It may be said thtkt as it was in
that battle soi it was fn every battle
of the Mexican war. From the be
ginning to the end the Mexicans did
not win a solitary victory.
/J’he Mexicans showed a splendid
courage. In nearly every instance
they greatly outnumbered their ad
versaries, and in nearly every in
stance, again, they had the advan
tage of position. Still the Ameri
cans invariably beat them..
At "Palo Alto 2,000 Americans
routed 0,000 Mexicans, and at Resa
ea do la Palma the odds wore about
the same. At Monterey. Taylor,
with 0,000 metS7“stormed a place
that was defended bv a force 12,000
strong. At Buena Vista the odds
were four to one against the Amer
icans, as they were also at Sacra
mento. At Sierra Gordo General
Scott, with 8,000 men, found Santa
Anna strongly intrenched with 12,
000, and yet he walked right over
him, killing and wounding 1,000 of.
his* men, capturing 3,000 and dis
persing the rest. Finally Scott,
with 12,000 men as against 30,000
of the enemy, won Churubusco,
Chapultepee and the City of Mexico
itself.
Thus in every instance through
out the Mexican war were the invad
ers victorious and notwithstanding
the fact that the advantage in num
bers and in position was invariably
with those whose country they were
invading.
This is a decidedly unique fact in
the history of warfare, since it
would be difficult, If not impossible,
to find another conflict between two
nations in which there was not, to
some extent at least., a division of
the honors of the battlefield.
The explanation is left for the
psychologists and for those who
study the deeper traits of men and
nations.—New York American.
Easy to Locate the Pole!.
Suppose a person who was igno
rant of astronomy anti the method
of taking observations should set
out to find the north pole. How
would he know when he reached it?
By setting up a vertical rod and
measuring its shadows at frequent
intervals as the sun passed around
the sky. If these shadows all re
mained of the .same length during
the sun’s course through the heav
ens. the “ignorant” explorer would
llieu know lie was at the pole. If
the lengths of thewod’s shadows va
ried during the twentv-four hours
he could not be at the pole, and the
direction in which the shadows fell
shortest would indicate the way in
which the boreal point lay. Of
course sueli observations could only
be made during the “arctic day”
—that isi when tbo sun is above Hie
horizon in the northern latitudes.
Elephant Police.
The sight of six pairs of ele
phants simultaneously at work cap
turing a half dozen struggling,
trumpeting males is an imposing
one. Like a pair of animal police
men arresting a prisoner, the great
beasts sidle alongside a victim, take
him betweeh them ahd jostle ahd
squeeze and Worry him, tail first, to
ward a tree. Every inch is contested
by the herculean fighters until near
ing a stout tree or stump the little
brown elephant catchers slide from
their mounts to the ground, crawl
under the ponderous animals, slip
cable slings rtboilt a hind foot and
take a turn around a tree.—Strand
Magazine.
Oylteri Killed by Seaweed.
Extensive ravages are often com
mitted by seaweed spores in oyster
j beds in a very curious fashion. The
weed grows on the shell of the oys
ter and is of an oval shape, solid at
(irst and afterward filled with wa
ter. It often attains the size of a
hen’s egg or even of a man’s fist.
Left uncovered by the tide, it splits
and loses its water. This is replaced
by air. which is imprisoned by the
next rise of the tide. The seaweed
now aels as a ballooft, raises the oys
ter from the bottom and floats with
it out to sea. Hundreds of thou
sands of oysters are thus lost.

The Hoodoo Number.
This year, whose number is
’13, is surely acting rather mean.
Disasters tread each other's heels
unlil the sad onlooker feels that
Jonah, from his ancient berlh.
has certainly returned lo earth.
There musl he something true,
ods fish, in that old-fashioned:
supers!ish: “thirteen” is hoodoo-'
ed, sure as fate—this year can't
have ils luck on straight. On
{Britain's shore the suffragette is
keeping all men in a sweat, and
e’en the king is sore and sick, ex
peeling every hour a brick. The
Balkan people and the Turks are
shooting up the whole blamed
works. The kindly king of Greece
was slain by some cheap skate
who'll gone insane, in Mexico
the bullets soar and people wade
around in gore. And here at home
the Hoods roll down, submerging
many a pleasant to\Vii. and cy
clones shriek across the plain and
leave wrecked ciliein Iheir train:
Death and his angels grimly roam
and celebrate I heir harvest home.
And so, however much we wish lo!
scorn the ancient supersl isli. we'd
like a year of heller fame—one
with no hoodoo on ils name.
