A Nevada Rabbit Farm.

Ever since the cold snap the Washoe
and Piute Indians have been selling jack
rabbits in astonishing quantities at fig
ures which have ruled considerably be-
low their usual market prices. Bill
Jackson, who has been hunting for a
week, tells this remarkable story in con-
nection with this bountiful supply:
g You see the cold snap drove the rab-
bits into the canyon out of the wind.
One moonlight night l came across a
drove flower 500 making for the canyon.
They were all huddled together getting
as much warmth as possible from each
others bodies. The drove were packed
together as close. as the threads of a
three-ply carpet; and as they moved
along they looked like big army blan-
ket drawn over the ground. They
passed close by me, and when I fired
into the drove with shotgun. eight or
ten dropped, but the. others closed right
up and passed on as before. This drove

Presently some Indians came along and

The Tasmantas Esamsner contains a
letter from correspondent in which he
speaks OF curious sight he witnessed
in Ceylon. 1t is the manner in which
iron at white heat is handled by the
blacksmiths, which is kept secret in
the trade. The process is simple, but
it certainly requires nerve to take up a
ball Of almost liquid iron the size of
twenty-four pound shot, and hold it in
the palms of ones hand from twenty to
twenty-five seconds, and afterwards de-
liberately stand on it for the same time.
They make paste Of equal quantities

Bewila and Kapukannasa plant, and the
tender shoot of the Gurulla finely ground
with lime-juice; and this, spread over
the palms and soles, makes them fire.
proof; for, although you hear the hiss
ing of the iron while being carried in the
hands, it leaves no mark or injury when
the paste is washed off.

4 LOST NOTE.

In I74o, Director of the Bank Of
England lost $50, 900 note, which he
was persuaded had fallen from the
chimney-piece of his room into the fire.
The Bank Directors gave the loser a
second bill, upon his agreement TO re-
store the FIRST bill should it ever be
found, or pay the money ii it ives pre-
sented by any stranger. About thirty
years afterward, says Mr.. Francis,
1.-THE Director having been long dead,
and his heirs in possession of his prop
erty, an unknown person presented the
lost bill at the bank and demanded
payment. It was in vain that it was
mentioned to this person the transac-
tion by which the bill was annulled; he
would not listen to it; he maintained
that it had come from abroad and in
sisted upon immediate payment. The
note was payable to bearer, and the
go, 600 were paid him. The heirs Of
the Director would not listen to any
demands OF restitution, and the bank
was obliged to sustain the loss. 1t was
discovered afterWard that an architect
having purchased the Directors house,
had taken it down, in order to build
another upon the same spot, and lad
found the note in crevice of the ehim-
ney, and made his discovery an engine
for robblng the bank. "

There is n mixture of earnestness and yet childish

LIOUEFYING OZONE.

MN. Hauteteuile in their important re-
searches on ozone. have brought TO light Two
interesting facts. The first is that ozone, which
is 80 difficult to hquefy when it is simply mixed
with oxygen, is iquetied very caeily when asso-
ciated with carbonic acid. The product Is a
liquid of beautiful blue color, confirming the
notion already acquired as TO the proper color OF
of knowing whether, in eIeclrolytic decompOsl
ton of carbonic acid the oxygen is separated In
the ordinary state, or in that of ozone. The
authors observe that the silent electric dis
charge produces in carbonic acid the character
istlc blue color, and conclude with certainty
that the products OF dissertation are carOohic
oxide and ozone.
