A Tsie Of the Eicctric Light.

It may not be generally known that
when working in close proximity to the
electric Light machines at the works
the men must not carry their watches.
The electricity maguetizes the metal
works Of these timekeepers 30 as to
render them utterly useless forever.
They can nev be made to run again,
and arc consequently ruined for all
time. Visitors are always warned Of
this, and yet now and then some over
confident n persists, and In the
phnseology Of the day, gets cleft" A
cas Of this nature occurred the other
evening. and It is published as a warn

Light company, was at the works be-

no VINO River ute..

The latest news from the mouth Ct
White river is gained from Lieutenant
Aackay's exploring party, which has
just returned to Laramie. This party
reports the site selected for the new
agency as q very pretty spot. 1t found
sixteen lodges Of Utes camped there
with . herd of $500 ponies (which are
much larger than the ordinary Indian
pony, and in excellent condition), their
women. children and goats. They say
they viii 60 to Uintah for their money
but will leave their families where they
ara. A wagon road a easily be built
from Laramie to that point and 1t is
contemplated by the authorities. One
has just been completed from there to
Grand river. Colorow is the only one
who opposes going to the new agency,
and he Is endeavoring to get several
lodges to follow him.

Although the boys have not learned all

Work on the Denver and Rio Grande
extension from Kokomo to Breckin-
ridge is being delayed on account Of
the non arrival Of steel that was due
some days ago. The cause Of this fall
ure Is that the steamer by which por-
tIon Of the iron was shipped from New
Orleans, after its arrival from England,
broke a shaft near Memphis, Tennes-
see, and had to lay by for repairs. I'm
der the contract they refused to permit
transfer to another steamer. Another
cause OF delay is that the steel works at
Cambria, Pennsylvania, broke down a
short time ago. The Wabash road
will receive the iron and steel just as
soon as 1t arrives at st. Louis, and will
hurry 1t to its western destination with
all possible speed. There is enough on
the way hither to lay about forty miles
of track.

Wby "~Ealamanders7"

from the London diope.
A controversy IL going on in the Ger
nan papers as to the origin Of the
word '.salamander" among the academ-
cal youth. A "salamander'' Is . sub
ytitute for the touching and clinking of
glasses at = drinking bout. In the year
1891 the Heidelberg students deter
mined to abolish the old German GUS
iom Mt their W extraordinary solem-
mites, and to substitute in its place q
new drinking ritual of their own At
he word Of command every man stands
up. and instead of striking his glass
against the rim of the glass of each of
his fellows, he shouts out with all his
might the apparently meaningless
word. "Salamanderr' One pathological
critic has discovered that there was
never any mystery in the word. but
that it was simply corruption of the
command, Drink all together (SauT
ale mil einanderl) Another asserts
that the word was derived from q
Hebrew-Greek combination, Schdlo-
mandri Hail to the manD; while a
third contends that it originated with
a student who wished to introduce Ma
sonic salamander into academicial So
,emnities. 1t appears. however. that =
fourth theory traces back its origin to
our own language. The American Off
cers under Washington, we are inform
ed, used to set fire to the rum in their
glasses and dring it down while 1t was
burning. They called this peculiar ex-
ercise making q salamander." We
place nc great faith in any Of these n.y.
~potheticaI derivations. Customs arise
often from some freak Of the moment,
and this is particularly likely to be the
the ereTcitam salamandri.

A British officers wife In Burmah
decribes the climate BY this incident:
"a friend gave my husband some'owl's
eggs, which he left In a plate in the
drawing room, the coolest place in the
house, being in the center and sur
rounded BY other rooms. The eggs were
on . table IN the corner. and were for
gotten. Some days after Isaw one Of
the eggs moving, and slightly Clipped.
Presently out came a little owlet. The
other eggs followed suit, till they were
all Matched. This may seem impossible
to any one who has not lived where the
Thermometer Is generally los degrees.

Heavy Gambling.

From the St. Louis Republican.
"What is the biggest winnings you
ever knew Off" / asked Of an experience
ed New Yorker.
"Ihave heard many fabulous stories,'
said he, "but I will speak only of what

prietor Of the Daily News. one night at
q Republican" game of faro, that is a
game made up Of gamblers, win $685.
600. He borrowed 81, 900 from Judge
Mccain to begin on, and he went away
with every pocket stuffed with checks
and bills. The cigar seller in the gamb-
ling rooms told me thatwood that night
smoked $40 worth Of cigars"
That Is impossible"
"a fact, 1 assure you. He took Gig
ars costing about 81 each, and lighting
~ end began in his nervous way to eat
