He simply lacks rauch experi ence. An illustration of this fact oc e curred down in New Mexico several . years ago. One day a pale looking. thin and sickly young man alighted r from the train and put up at the lit tle adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The tenderfoot walked up to the bar and called for a bottle of soda pop. i "'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o' Y stuff out here," said a toughy. "What e you want is a stiff drink o' red liquor. f Mr. Barkeeper, set out the pison for h this young feller." "You have the best r of me," replied the tenderfoot, "and s I'll have to drink the stuff, but I hope s the time may come when I can make . you drink my choice of liquid." , The tenderfoot raised the glass and t gulped down the whisky. Sandy had t had his way about it, and he made no s effort to comprehend the vague remark e of the stranger. The tenderfoot left a for a ranch down the Pecos the next 2 day after the incident in the saloon, and he was forgotten until one after noon more than a year afterward a 0 strong, healthy looking young man rode up to the hotel on a broncho. dropped the bridle reins upon the ground and dismounted. He had the s appearance of a typical young man of y the range. His face was bronzed and - his eyes clear and penetrating. "I owe o a fellow a debt which I believe I will h pay right now," the stranger said. . No sooner had he made the remark r than he walked off in the direction of s Sandy, who had his gun In his right g hand and was firing it into the air , every few steps. The stranger ap t proached Sandy, pulled his gun and .t unceremoniously dragged the bully up f to the saloon and led him in that fash Ion up to the bar. "Get me a pan of e water and set it upon the floor," he said to the barkeeper. The order was complied with, Sandy standing there meekly, wondering what was going to happen to him. "Now, f get down on the floor and drink water t out of that pan like a dog," the former tenderfoot ordered.

The sensitiveness of the human or ganism is gross indeed compared with t that of the marvelous machines man ' has made. A photographic plate cou pled with a telescope discovers millions of stars whose light the retina of the eye does not appreciate. The micro phone makes the Inaudible tread of a fly sound like the tramp of cavalry ' men. The human heat sense cannot realize a difference of temperature be yond one-fifth of a degree, but the ba - l'ometer, an instrument 200,000 times as sensitive as the skin, notes a differ ence of a millionth of a degee. A gal vanometer flexes its finger at a current generated by simply deforming a drop of mercury so as to press it out of a spherical shape into that of an egg. The amount of work done by the wink of an eye equals 100,000,000,000 of the winks marked on the scale of a delicate instrument, but even this performance is surpassed by the coherers of Branley of Paris by which the Hertz waves of wireless telegraphy are caught in their pulsings through space. The range of impressions which we get from lifting an object Is exceedingly small. An or dinary chemist's balance Is some mil lion times as sensitive and weights down the two hundredth part of a mil ligram. Without such instruments as these we should know far less about the world than they place within our ' reach. They make it evident that our sense organs give us reports of-but a s comparatively small number of com e paratively gross stimuli. -Chicago Tribune. BULWER LYTTON.
