ClriOsities Of the Kansas Plains.

teresting phenomena are to be obsery-

seen the prickly cactus, The sage bush
and the sand.h hill plum-so much writ

plains much farther west. MANY skulls
and other bones OF the buffalo are found
on the surface, but these huge shaggy
beasts pasture these plains no more,
MOI slake their thirst under the bluffs Of
these runaing streams.
But the circular spots where they de-
lighted TO wallow are readily perceived
where the ground is so hard and COM
pact that II will not bear crops for sey-
ersi years. The prairie dog tow as are
still to be seen, with this interesting lit

fashion above their holes, with the at

growing crops. Theft other mate, the
raitlesnake, is by NJ means unknown.

venomous bite is fatal.
