Midnight Sensation in Kansas.

There was big excitement says
the Kansas City News, near How,
elman's store, on East Eighteenth
street, a few weeks ago. An aged
couple and bull dog reside there
and on the evening in question the
peace and quiet of the trio were
disturbed by the aggrossions of a
vagrant COW that "hooked PUP the
gate and entered the enclosure.
The old gentleman heard the noise
made by the COW, jumped out of
bed, grabbed his cane, loosed Tiger,
and attacked the; cow. l-.,z,.
Now this COW had q varied .cx.
perience with all sorts of dogs
throughout the city, and was cspe-
cially proficient IN the art of hand
ling bull dog. SO, just as the old
man caught the bovine by the tail,
the said bovine lifted Tiger high
in tho air with her horns. and
wbislicd out Of the gate with the
old man still hanging to her caudal
appendage, and beating her to bis
hearts content with his heavy cane.
The old man and the COW went
flying down the street, and Tiger,
after turning summersault or two
in the air, came down in the els
tern in the yard, tho top of which
was open. s-- .l,.
Now the old lady, noticing that
the noise in the yard had ceased,
and wondering at the prolonged
absence of her husband, stepped
out into the yard to sec what was
the matter. She heard a splashing
Of water in the cistern, and, horror
Of horrors she thought 1t was the
old man.. .t u
Yell! well, her shrlcks would
have drowned out the sound Of Ga-
brie's trumpet had that angel en-
tered into competition with her.
The ncighbos, alarmed at her
cries, gathered around her at once,
and III quite crowd. o.. .1.-
"My husbands in the cistern,"
sht cried. "Hc can't swim. Oh,
he'll be drowned, he'll be drowned"
and away went two or three for
ladder. .......
The ladder was brought placed
in the cistern, and n man deccndcd,
lust as the OLD gentleman rushed in
at the gate
lie had heard, q block or two
away as he was returning from his
chase after the COW, that some one
had fallen in the cistorn at his
house, and he believed ii to be his
wife, for who else could be about
there. st
Seeing the crowd of sparsely
dressed ncighbors around the els
tern (the old lady had swooncd
away and had been carried INTO
the house), he ran into the crowd
crying in the greatest agony: 3,
"Save her! for Gods sake Oh,
my poor wife p 1850 -
"Savo the ID" exclaimed three
or four III q breath your wife
says that you were in the cistern."
BY this time the old lady had re-
covered sufficiently to resume her
hysterical screaming again, and
commenced yelling at n greater
rate than ever, just as the man who
went down the .cistern crawled out
and exclaimed: rs-
"lts nothing but that id dog"
The night was cold, and the
neighbors had not taken time to
dress, and their bodies were cold rs
their indignation was warm when
they learned what had disturbed
their rest and dragged them from
their beds at scuh an untlmely hour
OF the night. They had one con-
ISOLATION, howeyer--Tiger was as
dead a dog as ever breathlcss lay.

KEENAN's BOILER COATING.

Much value is assigned to a substance
known as Keenan's Boiler Coating, as a means
of preventing the radiation Of heat from steam
boilers, and the saving, in consequences. of
fuel as we'll as Of time in bringing steam up
to the proper degree of tension. The sub
stance is a pulp composed of paper, oil, and
certain chemicals, and is laid cold on boilers,
steam chests, steam-pipes, or any other article
that is to be protected from the outer atmos-
phere, to the thickness of an inch and a quar-
ter on superheaters two inches are required.
The boiler, however, must be kept warm
during the coating process. When the pulp
has properly set, it receives three coats of
paint, and can, if necessary, be grained and
made to look ornamental.
The Editor of the London Mechanics Maya
zine has recently examined certain boilers
coated with this substance, and found tha5 with
boilers in actual operation the exterior exhibit
ed a gentle warmth just perceptible to the
touch. He also was Informed that it was the
practice of the Stokers to draw their fires at
half past three in the afternoon and to close
their hampers, the steam being then, at about
thirty five. On ~resuming work in the morning
at 5 o'clock a. m. the gauges showed twenty
five pounds of steam, or a loss of only ten
pounds during the night as the result of radia-
ton.
