A RIDE FOR LIFE.

were bunting upon the soutli branch of the Yellowstone—away up, where the prairies are so broad and long that they seem to be without end It was up there boys, that I came the nearest til' losing my scalp that I ever did in uiy life, and this was the way that it came about.

business besides trapping, up thein

time we did a smashing business among the heathens could buy

beads and a jack-knife, and others proportion.

We packed up our duds and prepared to he off just as soon as wo were suro that all the prowling redskins were abed, for we wan't more than a half mile from one of their towus, and we didn't caie about, tlioir knowing just when we went.

We wanted to start as soon as we eould, for the moon rose about midnight, and then all would be as light

day, for there warn't

I guess that it must have been about eleven when we mounted our horses and moved slowly away from our camping ground. Our furs were packed in

We knew in a minute what that yell

meant, and it told us tint we were not a mio'ate too soon in our ^departure. The redakinB had determined upon having our traps and hair and had pitched upon to-night for the deed.

Giving our horses a smart blow with our sticks, we bounded off over the prairie as fast as they could oarry us. We knew that every foot we gained now in our flight we should need, for the

For a moment we were dumb with horror at our situation. If we turned back, death would be sure at the hands of the redskins if we kept on. we must perish in the flames. All hope of escape seemed gone.

A shout of triumph from the redshins they thought our capture sure. "The fire is more merciful than tho red devils,'- said Seth as he dismounted. I did the same. With a strip

Discovery in

The College Currant says that Captain in the Prussian army, named I 1755, was Schultz has proposed cation in the manufacture powders which has already attained I

ing ordinary gunpowder, are sawed across the grain into thin plates by a venecr-saw. These thin slices of wood are brought into a press, and by means of a manifold punch are converted into grains'of a uniform ?ize and sharp. The punched grains thus made are then freed from all earthly impurities by" treatment, with chemicals, which leaves almost pure woody fibre. Then, by digestion in a mixture of strong nitric acid, the grains are onnvnrted into a xyloidine, which, unlike ordinary gun-cotton, is not liable to spontaneous decomposition. After washing in weak solution or sodic carbonate, the granulated powder is dried. As thus prepared, these grains may be packed in bulk, there to remain without danger until wanted for use. The safety of the powder at this stage is shown by the fact that in July, 1868, Captain Schultz's factory, at Pottsdam. neat Berlin, took fire and burned quietly to the ground, without anything like an explosion. When needed for use, a very simple treatment converts these grains into a powder of extraordinary^ activity. This treatment consists only in steeping them in a solution of some nitrate—generally potassic nitrate (common saltpeter) is used, but for some purposes Captain Schultz prefers baric nitrate. This new powder does not foul the gun: and, though much lighter than ordinary gunpowder, yet bulk for bulk, it exerts the same force.

Desertion of the City of Ipnlpu!— The Earthqnake at Sea. The terrible calamity which swept away whole cities on the western South Amrican coast about this time last year is still fresh in the minds of our readers. Then thousands of human beings were killed in an instant, and a large Inca graveyard burst its bounds and long rows of ghastly mummies of the ancient inhabitants of the country were found afterward iu sittiDg posture on the tumbled earth above their forgotten supulchers. Our country suffered the loss of one of its finest vessels, which was carried a mile inland by an enormous tidal wave, and deposited far beyond the hope of further use.

It may be remembered that shortly afterward the German astronomer, M. Falb, predicted that this was but the precursor of a far more frightful series of disasters—earthquakes and tidal waves—which should destroy the whole west coast of South America. Theory supposes the origin of earthquakes to he due to the high tempera-

ture of deep-heated molten strata id the intctior, which generates gases, the accumulation of which overcomes the resistance of the earth's crust. This would naturally exhaust the suply, and it would be some years, especially as the cooling process is constantly going on. before another accumulation sufficient to cause trouble would be given off.

M. Falb, in consequence, was looked upon as a visionary, and the in-! habitants of the west coast rested se-

This terrible event was unaccompanied by any noise: but a great subterranean detonation was heard 20 minutes after the catastrophe at Quito Ibarra, one of the towns or cities destroyed last year in Peru. It was not, however, even heard at Tacunga, another of the places destroyed, although the place is (or rather was) nearer to the great convulsion of 1707. In the celebrated earthquake of Lima and Caliao (Oct. 2S, 17-10), a noise resembling a subterranean thunderclap was heard a quarter of an hour later at Truxillo, but unaccompanied by a movement. In like manner after the great earthquake of New Granada, (Nov. l(i, 1827), subterranean detonations were heard with great regularity at. intervals of 30 seconds thoughout. the whole Cauca valley, while at a distance of 632 miles to the northeast the crator of the volcano St. Vincent, one of the small islands of the West Indies, wa» pouring forth a prodigious stream of lava.
