A German electrician has devised an logeulouB method of flnding the fre¬ quency of an alternating current, thnt Is the rate at whieh the reversals of Ibe direction of the current ore made. A disk fornied of alternate black and white sectors Is mnde to rotnle nt nu Inereastug velocity, nnd Is looketl at by the light of au eleelrie lamp fed liy the alternating curreut. At length n degree of velocity will lie reached at which the disk will appear to stand still. At this point the alternations of the black antl white sectors on the disk are exactly keeping time wlUi tlio nlterujillous of the electric current, aud the velocity of the disk lielng kuown It Is easy to Hnd Hint of Ihe current reversals.

I TALK OF PLUCK

Uallant Flaht by Amarlran Trnnps.
¥ANILa hns Just hcnriT the story of n plucliy flght be¬ tween n detncliment of nine men of the Klfti-enlh Infnntry and a force of iJeu. ("nlllcs's men, variously esiliuated ni from '.'nO to 2.'iO. Of these Insui-genia some were bolomen nnd heuce did not get Into the thick of the Hclit, but It speaks well fnr Ihe valor and fightiug skill of the nine Amerlcnns Hint they were not overwhelmed nml killed or enrried off na prisoners.
The detachment consisted of nine men from L Company nud wss In charge of Sergeant I'hillion. who had orders to go to the town of I'aete on the I^giinn de Ray and bring back the meat rations for the post. He set out nbout daylight on the morning of De¬ cember 31 to inarch from I.utnhau. the company hendqtiarlcrs. down nlong the river and lnke front to Pnete. Tlic ycnr cloned In n spell of glorious weather, and the men swung nlong with ensy gnit through long stretches of cool, shady cocoaniit groves.
Nothing of note occurred until Ihe men had gone about half the distance, when n native -n-as seen to run ncross the rond a short distance In front of litem. It was undoubtedly a surprise for hoth parties, but though the native escaped, the soldiers found n bll of pa¬ per In the bushes wlicTe he had disap¬ peared. On the paper was a message from the lusurgent tienerni of Hie dis¬ trict to the local commnuder ordering nn attack to be mado on Lumban at sunrise of the following dny.
The little party made all haste to Paete. where they reported Hie discov¬ ery nnd notlHed the l.unilinn compauy to lie prepnred for Ihe nitack. As soon as the fresh ment and provisions had been secured the detnil hurrii'd off agalu so as to reach Ibelr compauy In time to become mixed up In the ex¬ pected scrap, but It turned out Ihey had a row thnt wns all tiielr owu
It wns nfler dark wbeu lliey left rncte. but the moon wns up nnd the night was denr. nnd they txraod nlong Ilie henvlly laden pack piinl.'s nt top iipeed, Sutldenly. Just nfler Iho de¬ tachment passed through Ihe linrrio of Snn Junn. Hi.' insurgents opened flre from the front nml both sides of the road.
It wns .1 pretly lively surprise, but In a momeiit llie jioiilcs had been run ofl' to Ihe side nml Pliilliun had dls- trlliutcd '-is men to Hie best iidvnn- t.ige.    Then flring began   In earnest.
With nothing more than Hie flash of the rifles to guide them, the mcu lay flnt In the road, tiring regularly and trying to locate the scattered euemy and make every shot count. Kor hnlf nn hour the uneven struggle wns main¬ tained, nnd then as the moon rose higher nud higher the insurgenis could be seeu g.-adually closing In ou all sides.
Karly In the fight Sergennt Phllbon wns wounded, but he said nothing and went on giving coinmnnds so naturally that some of the men did uot know of his hurt. Shortly ofterwnrd I'rivate Kearney was hit. and bis comrades pulled liim to n iilace of safety, and Hien Phllbon wns wounded again.
lu the inennllme the I'acte garrison hntl heard the Kli9otlng and Cnptnln Smith nd Lleutennnt Banford rushed out with n relief party. Tliey arrived none too soon, for the Insurgenis were closing In rnpldly and lirlug so quick¬ ly Hint It was evldcni Hiat they were well supplied with nmmiiiillioii. When the relief arrived Hie insurgenis made for the hills as fnst as they could.
When rescued the nmniuultlou of the Americans was well nigh exhausted, nnd some of the meu would hnve given ilttle for their chances of enllng the New Year's diuuer. Philliou ivas hit four Hines. One of the shots shat¬ tered his left luiiiil anil blew off the bolt of hlH gun Private Hrannon was missing, iud it is almost certain Ihat he was carried off by the relreatlng euemy.
Klve or six Klllpiuos were fouud dend nnd four olhers were picke.l up so bndly wounded Hint tliey cuulil not crnwl nwny. .\ll Hie wuiimleil men were tnkeu to the .Vmerlcau huspital at Santa Crui. where they are receiv log all possible aitentlon —.New York Sue.

"Sliver King" an.l Senalor.
Krniii a Pennsylvanln conl mine to Ihe fulled Stntes Sennte: such Is Hie history of Tliomns Kearns. the "Silver King" of rtah. whoso life reads like a romance.
Born lu Pennsylvania of Irish par¬ entage, iu the year IKn,, his Imyhood an.l youth were spent In hnrd work and poverty. In l-STd the whole fami¬ ly, consisting of Mr. Kenrns nnd Wife nnd six cliiitlreu—four boys nud two girls-came West to Nebrnskn. Thiy settled In Holt Comity, locating on Hoverumeut land. Jind became mem¬ bers of the John O'Neil Colony. The oldest boy was the Hrst sheriff of Holt County, but wns shot dead by n cow¬ boy resisting arrest.
Thomns waa noted for his venture¬ some disposition, anil hearing of the great fortunes being maile In the West¬ ern mines, stnrted out alune lu the year 1.S.SII and weut tu linh, locating at I'nrk i'ity. lie begnu as a dny In- biirer in Hie mini's, saved his money, and about Iwo years laler he and his partuer. David Keats, acquired the Silver King miue. which proved to lie a v.rltable liomiiiia. He married a ilaughter of a wealthy Ctah miner In ISSH, ami has one child. The Senu- lurelect is not what miglii be cnlled nn orator, yet he has ng nbtindniice of Celtic fire ami liiimor and a vast amount of lommun seuse, which eu- alil.'s llllli lo make nu excellent show¬ iug on Hie public pintform.
Tom was always n "mother's boy," nnd nfter he had made Ills fortune In Ihe mines spi.ecd uo pulns nor expense lu provide comforts for her lu her old ligc.

One of the fiercest battle between man and bird of which there Is any record In .Maine took plnce ihe other day lu a Washlnglon Couuty barnyard. Hufils Berry, of Kast -Mnchlos, and nn eagle of great size were the comhat- anis.

18. "Nor yet Herod." Chriat had trai*' eled extensively in Cialilee and yet HeMd brings no charge that He had ever at¬ tempted to raise nn inaurreclipn amoiif ' the (inhleana. "He aent Hira back unto us" IR. V.I This involved a distinct ac¬ quittal of our I>ord from e\-ery poiitieal charge brought againat Hiro. Haa U* ID any way been guilty of (1) iiervertiag lh» people, (2) forbidding to pay tribute, tt (3) claiming to be a king, it would nav* heen HerotTa duty, and atill mor* to hii interest, to punish Hiiu. His di«ii>i***l ol the case waa a deliberate avowal of Hi* innoi-ence. "la done unto Him." "Xoth- ing worthy of death hath beeo done by Hira."   R. V.
10. "Chaalise Him." Jolm saya that Pi- lata took J*su* and scourged Him, but this waa not done till a little later. The evangelists "make it clear that the acourf- mg was inflicted as a separate punishment, in the ho[>e that it would aulbce, and not inerely a» tho usual accompaniment of eru- citixion." The acourgu of leather thongs was loaded with lead or armed with spike* and bones, which lacerated the back, cheat snd fsce till the victim aometimea (ell down before the judge a bleeding maaa of torn flesh. Thua "lie was woanded for our transgresaiuns. He was bruiaed for our iniqiiitiea, the chastisement uf our peace was upon Hint, aud hy llie atripea we an heaUd." "And releaae Him."

18. "They cried out all together" (R. V.) The chief priest moved the peopl* (.Mark 15; II); tlicy were like a pack ol liluodlhirsty wolves. "Itiirahhaa." An in- mirrectionist, a robber and a murderer. Ile was actuslly guiltv of much worao rriinea than they hiiJ charged agaioat Jesus.
ID. "Insurrection made in the city" (R. V.) He had a short time before thia eri- dently been a riuglender in an outbreak in Jeruaalcm against tlie llnnian (iovcru- uient.
20. 'Willing tu releaae Jesua." It wa* yrehably st this tune, ivhile the peopl* were clanioriiig for His death so loudly Ibat the messenger camo from Pilate'* wife (Matt. 27: 18), urging the release ol Jcau.<, and stating that uhe had juat auf¬ fered many things in a dream because of lllin.
