Odd Theory as to Petroleum,
The rather interesting theory is
held by a Russian geologist that petroleum
is produced by water which
ponetratos the earth's crust and comes
in contact with glowing carbides of
metals, especially of iron. The water
is decomposed into its constituent
gases, tlio oxygeu uniting with tho
iron, while the hydrogen takes up the
carbon iukI ascends to ft uiglior region,
where part of it in condeuaod into mineral
oil ?nd port remains as iifttnrftl
gas to escftpo wherever and whenever
it ea11 llud an outlet. ? Meehftuieul

I think it was the summer of '8G.
Geronimo was not yet taken, and we
had been chasing in our turn until,
for lack of backs and feet, our horses
wore lagging in tho race, and wo wore
sot to watch water-holes in the San
Simon, so polluted with alkali and
arsenic a sensible savage would have
shunned it, as my dyspopsia, which
dates from that campaign, tells me I
failed to do.
Somehow the Geronimo campaign
always reminded ine of a fox-hunt;
the Indian scouts keeping their noses
close to tho scent lik?> doors tec slow
10 ioreo iiie bush into tho open, while
tho various troops, like hunters in
different wind, held and lost the
place which promised first at tho linish.
If you know Arizona at all, you
will recall how sharp and rocky arc
the crests of tho divides; being lines
of most resistance in this land of deep
erosion, they retain tho sharp, jagged
profile often seen in the snow-ice of
mountain drifts as it disappears in
early summer, llelow these scoops lie
a colony of rounded foot-hjllR, receding
and growing less until they end in ,
broken bowlder mesa, which, with
numerous arroyos, fades into the soft,
lovel adobe plain, and blends, as uu

The Indians preferred these sharp
crests, which were for them both
watch-towers and impregnable bastions.
Occasionally they would strike
across the valley, kill a rancher, and
steel fresh ponies, and some troop
would cut in and crowd them in the
open till they took the next divido
and met some barrier that balked the
pursuers and forced on them a detour,
while some other troop, through accident
of locality, would tack and take
the chosen place on the trail, giving
for a few days its dust to the other
pursuing columns. It was a weary
stern-chase, performed under burning
skies of cloudless blue in a thirsty
land of heat intolerable.
We had had our little spurt; had
brushed them off the divide, and for
three days led in the open across the
valley to the Hierra Madre, where
fresher horselleah cut in from our
right and took from us tho placo of
honor and left us, foot-sore and baoksore
and winded, at the base of tho
mountains, where we wore ordered u
day's march back into tho valley, noar j
tlie border, to guard water holes of <
tho San Simon in tho sullen month of f
August. The nights wcro getting
bearable, but the day heat still held f
on with tho stubborn insistence of a f
Southern summer. Our camp was not ^
happy---the water was bad; our shelter-halves,
but little thicker than j
cheese-cloth, proved leaky sun-shades, (
and we reinforced them with our sad- f
die-blankets; wo had no amusement j
except to growl, wish wo wero in tho
chase and wondering whose blooming H
intellect had squatted us down among ^
Gila monsters and sand-flies to watch
water so foul neither soil nor sun j
would drink it. j.

an<l. next to a coward or a thief, I j

near the border of Mexico, where one c
must not cross, but where smuggling n
is permitted and vieo possible. p
The men were getting irritable---I
knew the signs, the tension was reach- t
ing snapping point. I had boen think- f]
ing of it all day. That evening John u
IiCighton and I were working under p
the orderly fly at the "rccords"---werc 0
posting Vaugn and Murray's "finals" c
in the clothing and descriptive books, i,
Vaugn was a corporal and Murray our
blacksmith, who had been killed the j]
week before on the day we pushed tbo v
Apaches off the divide. We wero y
crowding them to closely in the lower ^
pass, when a few bucks slipped off into
the canon and nipped our pack train
in rear. Wo had to quit pressing in
front to save our train. It was a
elever bit of work, and five bucks did
it, killing two men for us, losing us ^
our game just as we were bagging it.

terminated. The tisual remark was 1
"Discharged by oxpiration term of 1
service" iu black ink.
"ISergeaut, and whose will be the :
next bloody 'D'?" asked Leighton,
without a ring of feeling.
"There'll be plonty of 'em, if this
blooming heat continues and we re- 1
main iu this camp," I replied.
Wo were working at this otHcial
funeral in tho sultry summer night by 1
the unsteady light of lantern-candles,
and were not feeling impressed oi 1
reverent. Leighton was in his undershirt,
open at his handsome brown 1
throat. As ho leaned over the bookf
at work, a lockot from his bosom fell
the slack of its gold chain and struck
the desk.
1 noticed it, and ho took it off, '
handing it so mo with indifferenoe. He <
had opened the lockot, rovealiug the 1
portrait, which was that of a fresh '
young girl, ono of thoso sweet Eng- '
iisli faces, wliose charm is complexior *
and expression of confidouco complete. 1
The eyes arrested yoti?pathetic, soft *
brown eyes,so tender they seemed to re- '
proach, and, as you changed your point
of view of the miniature, followed you 1
with thoir full, warm light. I have 1
Reen such itffcoiiunatu light only in the 1
brown eyes of faithful dogs watching
thoso they love. I
oeeiug my more man casual notice 1
of tlio portrait, Heighten added : "It's '
an old story ; not worth the telling; 1 I
don't know why I keep it."
Ho spoke with tho snmo absent interest
wo were feeling over this work '
for the dead. It. struck 1110 as peculiar *
that in a romance accomplished there '
should ho no trace either of bitterness
o) remorse, only weary indifference. '
1
f was so quickly fascinated by the face . |
that Loighton's manner annoyed me, (
and 1 ?1 i?l not ask for the story. I'os- j
libly overheat makes men irritable,
for somehow I rcsontcd this careless
follow wearing about him a faco liko ^
that, with less interest than lie wore .
Iiis spurs. I did not then notice the
resemblance of tho faco to Lcighton's.
I stopped abruptly and thought of
lcscrtion, changing tho conversation ,
to this, tho subject of my day's mus- .
iug. j
"Loighton, something's got to be j
lono to relieve the pressure. I know |
;ho lieutenant would liko to do so. He t
feels the pulse of this camp and knows
the symptoms, ltnt what esc he do r? ,
ins orders to remain here are impcra- j
kive, and ho can't 'pass' us across the <
inc." T
"Hllllt.ilKT leave. " lntKrliml
"Huuting leave, then, let it be," 1 }
replied, "with no questions asked as
:o our game or preserve, though I can f
ell what yours will be, you young ]
rap! To-morrow make out a hunting j
>ass for six." Leigliton was humming }
i catchy service ballad that had np- t
tearcd in London music-halls the year ?
lefore, and did not roply. {
Next morning, I presented with tlio
cport four-days' huuting pass for six ?
nou. Tho lieutenant dipped his pen
u tho ink and held it in contemplation 1
",r ft.1 "v'\_f-l- "1"'"'. r
ihiilfC, TbTfinijfg -TuuTXglnKniy aoToss
he lovel plain. Then, with quick de;ision:
"I wish, sergeant, you and *
Licighton would take hunting pass, <
md let no complications arise." Ho J
tigned the pass, adding our names to '
he text.
Tho following evening found us all
n Correlitos. After dinner, while ;
imoking fragrant Vuolla Abajo of the
'Zona Libra," I strolled through tlio
larrow streets of this olil Spanish
own, watching tlio wealth of a west;rn
sunset, where the after-slow was
ast fading. High above the nioun- 1
ain-tops lay great billows of russet. 1
lame, with crests like the muno of a i
vind-funuod prnirio fire. Lower in c
he nindro spread the pure deep purple t
>f southern twilight, while from the i
bot-liills came the soft evening breeze t
)oru after the heat of day. Even ?
ounds fell on the ear so gently you t
bought that before reaching you they 1
nust huve loitered to bathe in tlio i
tccquia and caught some of its mur- t
our. i
On tlio i>laza T passod two groups of f
onirades, one seokiug solace in bran- ?
ly, the other, fortune in roulette--- i
ilensant pastimes that might lead to 1
'complications" while money lasted, i
ind would bear light watching. 1
I walked on to tlio Jardin do Oro, t
i small public park, where serenade .
iro inspired ami listeners stroll or seat c
hemsclves on benches or the grass. p
Only those who hnvo suffered the c
lent and glaro of a campaign in the 1
lesert can form any idea ol the pliysi- 1
>al luxury of groen trees and of water, a
was seatod listening to the soft In- n
lian Spanish as it fell about mo in \
low ehnttcr. From afar it mingled
nth tho murmur of the fountain. c
What a contrast this scono to tho 1:
lot camp I had just loft, whore wore 1
icard only tho whirr of tho rattlo- i
nako or the insistent cooing of tho
onoly turtle-ilovo?monrnful sounds c
vhioh seem to add to tho vibrant heat, t
ibovo tho mountains lay a zono of c
roublod whito, from which tho moon 1
tad now risen into the full, uppor i
due, causing the leaves ovorhoad to c
ast shadows in arabosquo on tho grass t
t my fcot, whore, as tho night breozo *
tirred tho foliage, it wove marvelous f
icures in trefoil ?.nd frneerv for fannn
o piny with as with those made by n
lames in ft grate. Now it was the lines h
f a Gothic window, seen in nil old c
ftthodrnl ftlmost forgotten, nnd now, v
n grander scale, tho design of deli- l
nto drawn-work reonllod from my H
ady's ohnmber. t
lvcighton was there, mantilla beside j,
iim. I could only half see tho re- n
ealod ovnl of the face, but tho figure t
ras slight and pretty, for I caught its t
raceful outline later when they h
assed me. g
Next evening, at a baile, Leighton t
resented mo to Panchita. Together A
hey were dancing?he and this pretty
uimal, with eyes for him alone. In
he desert so rapid is love's kindling,
o quick and full its flame, no charred
r half-burnod brands are here left on v
>ve's altar. It is consumed, and what o
iirvives must spring, phmnix-like, c
rom lire or else descend from heaven. A
After the dnnza ended, Leighton '1
ras standing in shirt-sleeves near b
'anehita, with the collar of his jersey si
pen at the throat- -a trick of his that o
mile 111c suspect that ho Ivad seen g
ervico in the navy. As ho leaned over t]
or, Trtachita'a eye caught sight of tho,
i
( ?
ooket chai^ and he removed the 1
ooket, opened it, end bended it to
tier; this tfmo not indifferently, but X
witli *ha itri^c of p?lx,ovl j^qucoi.
I wee watching Penohite closely es
?he gazed feeoineted by the portrait, 1
and I sew her tremble. Only as I read
tier lace then hy whet I now know, oen
1 tell how well it expressed ell that
hopeless sense of loss which comes
with the abandonment of things loved C
or desired. For an instant her eyes ^
showed the rage a child sometimes 0
feels for an inanimate object, when
that object has hurt it. And I thought
-i 11 t 1. ii.~ i i. ?i, it. ii. _ h
suu wuiuu ux una mc iwivut p butu tuu ^
woman conquered, and sho smiled as y
nhe retutned it. v
From that moment her abandon- ..
inent toward Leighton was complete :
liergayety and grace became exquisite, R
while a look from him would lend her. ^
' 'Oh, you Eastern dervish of hearts!" ^
[ exclaimed to myself, as Panahita left ^
aim and skipped to get a handful of
:ascn rones and then returned, crush- n
ng the pretty tinsel spangles in a s
ihower over his brown head and throat. v
ihc flitted about him with the grace c
jf a bird, and her eyes never left liim. f
She was becoming intoxicated with her n
)wn movements i her cheeks were j
'lushed with bright fover spots, and ?
licr eyes shone like stars. On and on j
I hoy danced, seeing only each other, y
and sho looked jir if ?hc Could d?SCC tj
[orover. ,
At length Leighton proposed thoy y
?o, and she obeyed his wish as if fi
hypnotized or impelled to doit; and, H
ignoring her duenna, they left to- y
cjetber. y

n
Tho noxt week I ruled Loighton's t
iHlcir.l epitaph iu lue Li Troop records B
thus: "Deserted from huntiug yiass y
August 18, 188G." y
You see, the easo was an awkward y
me. The night of the baile ho had ,]
been stubbed in the park. I found liis j
body t? jre, and my comrades wero y
nbout ro string up Morales, Panchita's ]
locnl admirer, for the stabbing, when 0
r stoppod them. y
"Hold on, boys," I said; "rcmom- j
l?cr I liromiseil the lieutenant no 'com- .1
ilicatious.' " n
Ho Leigliton becamo officially a "deserter,"
anil I kept my word. t
Besides, I doubt if stringing up c
vould have beou fair to Moralep, for ^
ivheu I found Leighton's body, the r
ockot was lying on the ground besido v
t. Tho clasp was open and the portrait j
>lood-stained and mutilated, us if by j
he point ?>f a dagger. \
I think Loighton h?'f know what L?c -j
vas doing when ho flauntod that por- ?
rait at Panchita?ho waa a careless
;liap, and loved danger in a way to v
vin any wonmu's heart. Put you soo jj
t was his first affair in this land, and t,
le was mistaken in their temper. c
How could I let his rocord remain
:o? Well, what could I do? Besides, j,
height on was not hia right name, as I j
bund out aftei ward when reading liis v
lomo letters to get his relatives' ad- j
Iress. His name was Jaok Langhorn, ?
ind that locket the rascal showed me j
:outained a portrait of his youngest 0
lister. I found that out in writing to ?
lis family, whom I told that Langhorn 1
vas kiilcd by the Anaelies in the fight 1
it Chirachuea Fash?that occurred two v

Ilorses With Long Tails.
I seo that there is again an attempt
icing made to introduce the fashion of
ong-tailed horsos. I doubt very much
f it will succeed. Fashion has prnctisally
removed the ruison d'etre for
liese caudal appendages. Tho workng
horse or tho horso in the country,
)f course, needs his tail to protect himiclf
from tho Hies. The fashionable
;oaeli horse these days, on the other
land, has more careful attention than
lsed to bo bestowed upon a child a
"ew years ago. When in tho stable ho

'HB "BARREN OBnnvng" O*"*"
A-L/ix O WARK WITH GAME.
'wenty Acres Covered With tli? Animals
Standing Thickly Together
?A Veritable Hunters' Paradise.
JB. TYRELL, of the Geological
Survey, and his party, says au
_ Ottawa correspondent of tho
Now York World, tell marvelus
stories about tbo game they saw
u their recent journey through the
;rottt "barren grounds" of Canada's
forth west. No one dreamed that j
lauada possessed such immense herds
>f doer as were secu by Mr. Tyrell's
>arty.
"The sight at times was inarvelons,"
aid Mr. Tyrell. "Whou wo reached
ho edgo of tho woods north of Lake
Lrthahascn, in about tho beginning of
August, we commoncod to meet a few
loer ovory day. One evening, just
iter going into camp, a deer was
eeu standing on a little island not
cry far away, and my brother went
?ver and shot it. It was very poor in
losh; nevertheless wo found it
undo pretty good meat. On the folowing
day, as we were paddling along
i moderately large lake, one of my
lalf bioeds drow my attention to what
le t hought to bo the moving seiiio
listaucoaway, and on looking through
ay glass I saw that it was an immonso
lord of reindeer. Wo equipped ourelves
with firearms, puddled ashoro
.nd walked toward them. Thero were
housnrds in the herd. They wero in
anus 01 two ur turoo nuiuimi eacu,
iml crowded as close us possible
ogethcr. It was presumed tlicy did
o iu order to partially escape the toruro
of the black flies. Walking iu
>etwoon a couple of bands wo opened
ire, and they stampeded iu every
lircction. Onoof the party was obiged
to tako refuge behind somo heavy
?rush to prevent the deer from tramping
upon him. Wo killed about seventy
it them. Many were too poor for us,
>ut tho fatter ones furnished rich,
uicy meat. Tho ehoieo meat of each
leer, when dried, would average only
bout twelve pounds.
"After remaining thore two or
hreo days, during which we wore
ngaged drying the meat, wo started
ukiug photographs. We could walk
ight into tho midst of the deer. As
re did so they would push a little way
o each side to allow us to pass, aud
hen close up t-lio ranks immediately
ichind m Tho sight was a mazing,
.'hero we stood, surrounded on every
ide by the deer, swaying their long, |
lender horns to and fro. As far as |
ro could see thero were countless
lerds, covering about twenty acres
ach, aud standing as thick as they
ould mass together.
"As we proceeded further north 1
icniH were constantly met with grazug
on the sides of the hills. The t
feather was something like that of
fovombor here, but tho ground was
lways wot. In tho summer tho deer
ivo on grass and in tho winter chiefly
>u moss. After tho month of August
ro shot very few, tho old ones wo saw
>oiug wild and almost unapproachable,
n the fall and winter they mftko thoir
ray to the edge of tho wooflh in order
shelter from tho tearful gales
hat blow over the barren ground.
"Thoso deer differ considerably
rom the ones in this part of tho counry.
They are about tho height of
he Virginia deer, but somewhat
touter and heavier; their horns are
nrgor and more branching. They
hod thoir coats in July, and at that
ime are often very rough in appo.ariUcg
and j>oor in flesh ; but towards
ho end of August, when they get their
low coats, they begin to pick up and
atton. Their skius are good and
rarm, but the hair, being brittle,

The Humming llird at Homo.
While spending the winter in California,
writes Frank Ford, in the
Magazine of Natural Science, I made
my first acquaintance with Madam
Hummingbird "at home." In the first
place the locatiou could not hove boen
improved on. Just picture in your
mind a lawn dotted with orange,
lemon, fig and palm trees, with hero
and thore a giaut century pluut, or
bunch of pampas grass, and no end of
flowers. While a cypress hedge, overshadowed
by stately eucalyptus and
pepper treeH, separated the lawn from
the street. One day while gathering
oranges, I wuh startled by the rapid
and Riiirrv dartim- of a Imtnmiiiir bird
near my faee, which lot! mc to look
closely iu that part of tho tree, which
resulted after a little search in tho
discovery of niy ilrst humming bird's
neat. It was placed on a twig not as
largo as a lead pencil, on one of thi>
lower limbs of the orango tree, and it
was so covered with lichens the same
color as the bark of tho tree that it
was difficult to llnd it again even after
I knew about whore it was. Tho nest
is about tho sizo of tho burr oak acorn
cup, built almost entirely of tho
feathery plumes of the pampas grass,
covered with green lichens, and all
hold together, and to the limb, with
something groatly resembling spider
wob. Within this "marvel of construction"
were two semi-transparent
eggs, almost too small to describe,and
my efforts to use tho blowpipe on
them blow them all to smithereens.
Beforo taking tho nest, I visited
Madam Hummingbird several times,
and nearly always found her at home.
Sho nover left tho uesl but a few minutes
at a time.
