TraveIing-Stones.

Many of our readers have doubt
less heard of the famous travelling
stones of Australia. Similar Curl
osities have recently been found in
Nevada. which are described as al
most perfectly round, the majority
of them as large as walnut and of
an irony nature. When distribut-
ed about upon the floor, table or
other level surface, within two or
three feet of each other, they inn
mediately began travelling toward
common center and lay there
huddled up in bunch like q lot of
eggs in a nest. A single stone, re.
moved to a distance of three and a
half feet, upon being released, at
once started off with a wonderful
and somewhat comical celebrity, to
join its fellows; taken away four or
five feet, it remained motionlesa.
They are found in o region that Is
comparatively level, and is moth
Ing but bare rocks. Scattered over
this barren region are little basins
from few feet to rod or two in
diameter, and it is in the bottom of
those that the rolling stones are
found. They are from the size of o
pea to five or six inches in diame-
ter. The cause of the stones roll
ing together is doubtless to be
found In the material of which
they are composed, which appears
to be loadstone or magnetic iron
ore.

Congressman Berry freed by a
Wild Hog.

The following hair breadth es.
cape of one of California's Repre-
sentatives is thus related by the
WheatLa,ld Recorder: "The Third
Congressional District came near
losing its Representative, G. p.
Berry, of Sutter county, one day
last week. He and his brother
Rufus were out making tour of
inspection Of their ranch when
they ran upon wild hog. Rufe
started for gun, and his Honor
with a dog, undertook to keep the
wild pork In view. His hogship be-
came disgusted with so much Con-
gress near him, and started for
Congress. G. P. B. climbed up q
tree for safety. A limb broke and
Congress fell; hog went for IL, but
our Representative soon regained
his feet in time to save his bacon
by reclining up the tree. In time
he was released from his elevated
position, and will, with no bad
luck, 60 to Washington yet. The
hog left.
