vesuvius as an oil Well
Harrisburg, (Pa.) Telegraph.

It has been reserved for an Italian citizen of Harrisburg, now perfectly Americanized, and therefore imbued with the Yankee genius, to conceive the idea of boring at the side of Vesuvius to ascertain the source of it's volcanic fires, and utilize the tremendous power which has for ages produced the amazing eruption by fire, smoke and great streams of lava Angelo Possi Ponti is the name of the gentleman who has de- voted long time to this subject, and who has now come to the conclusion after study of the peculiar phase of the petroleum region of Pennsylvania. that the causes of the volcanic forces in Nesuvius are the same as those which produce the gases in the oil region, only that those of the volcano are the greater and more powerful in their character His idea is to have shaft on the land side of the mountain, or a number of them, and by that means reach the bed or beds of oil which, he argues, flow into a great basin immediately under the crater of the volcano, and thus, by cur rents of electricity, are made to burn and overflow in great floods of lava. By means ofthe shafts in question, Angelo Possi Ponti hopes to attract the oil from the source of its flames, thereby prevent ing erruptions and utilizing for mechan- ical purposes the vast accumulation of oil which has for ages been consumed in the crater. This is a tremendous pro- iect, in the pursuit of which the invent i've Italian believes the source of earth quakes will be reached and controlled, whereby the human race will be shield ed from an engine of destruction that has produced such an enormous amount of loss to mankind. This gives the af- fair philanthropic phase highly credit able to the humane feelings of the generous Italian. Arrangements for a stock company have been made to take out charter with capital stock of $500,000. Mr. Angelo Possi Ponti has been in consultation for some time with number of eminent geologists and civil engineers in this city, who, while not being able fully to grasp the tre- mendous subject, still give it's projector much encouragement. It is as possible as the Panama canal, for which $50,000,- 900 has been subscribed, or the excaya- tions of Pompeii and the search for the wonders of Troy, the discoveries of. which have astounded the archaeologists' of the world.

MENAGERIE QUOTATIONS.
What Wild Animals Cost According to tho
 Latest Price List.


 What Wild Animals Cost According to tho
 Latest Price List.
 In Europe there are large gardens de- voted to a wholesale traffic in wild beasts, birds and reptiles, for exhibition purposes, and all the pretentions of great showmen to the contrary notwith- standing, from these geological estab- lishments come the attractions of the menageries and museums. One of the largest in the world is Carl Hagenbach's Handel Menagerie and Thier Park at Hamburg. In the same manner that a dry goods or grocery establishment would issue it's price list, semi-annual circular is issued by Hagenbach, giving the ruling prices for the wonders of ami maj life. Secretary Kalb, of the St. Louis Fair Association, has received one of the circulars, which gives the following in. formation as to the value of animals:
 Double-horned rhinoceros, two, one with horns six inches long. S2, ,250 each. One male and two female lions from Abyssinia, $1 ,620 for the lot.
 Pair of Persian lions years old $1 ,000. Cape lionesses, $250 each.
 A happy family consisting of one male Abyssinian lion, one female Bengal d hyena, and pair of Danish dogs, about 15 months old, feed and sleep together. 5000 for the lot.
 LeopaTds from India and Africa, S350 per pair; single, Sl75.
 Spotted and striped hyenas, S100 each. Happy family of two polar bears, a black bear and bull $600.
 Female Polar bears, $250 each.
 Female Thibet bears, $l25 each.
 Brown bears, Sl00 each.
 Male black panther and female leop- ard together, $600s
 Zebras, broken, S1 ,250 per pair.
 Male zebras, S650 each.
 Female zebras, S725 each.
 Wild llamas, S250 per pair.
 Male llamas from Uruguay, 1925 each. Double bumped Baetrian camels, S700 per pair.
 White Baetrian double-humped cam els S875 per pair.
 African riding dromedaries, $500 per pair.
 American tapirs, $500 per pair.
 Chamois goats, S250 per pair.
 Kangaroos, $500 per pair.
 Pelicans, African, $l00 per pair.
 Small monkeys of all classes, $10 each. Black drill monkeys, $750.
 Snakes from Asia, Africa and India, S15 to $250 each, according to length. The circular concludes with the state- ment that animals not on hand will be procured on short notice.
 The City of New York also does a business in selling surplus stock from the Central Park Garden, and offers for sale a pair of royal Bengal tigers at SLIPS each; blesbok antelope, $375; sable deer, $l75; Indian deer, $l75; ibex. S200; axis deer, Sl50; pair emus, S300;golden pheas ants, Sl5 each; African snakes, eight to twelve feet long, S25 to s75; baboons, S15 to Sl7 50; flying foxes, $7 50 each.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.
A Buried Race in Kansas--what They
 Dfd.
Scientific American.I

Scientific AmericanI
 It is well known that the wrought stone implements found in the ancient river gravels of California prove con- clusively that during the glacial period the Pacific coast was inhabited by man. In report on archaeological explora- tions in Kansas, Judge E, F. West, of that state, presents large amount of evidence to show that at an equally re- mote period that region was peopled by a race compared with which the mound builders must be accounted modern. The geology of the region is simple. Prior to the drift epoch the channels were deeper than now, and the river valleys were lower. Subsequently the valleys were filled by lacustrian deposit of considerable depth. In or beneath this deposit, the remains of an extinct race occur.
 Such remains have been found at various depths in seven different conn ties along or near the Kansas Pacific Railr5sti, dar,ss see.y;; e.y, Douglass, Pottawato mic, Riley, Dickson, Marion. Ellsworth and Lincoln counties. With one ex- ception the remains have all been found on the second bottom or terrace of streams, and consist of stone implements, pottery, human bones and bone imple- ments.
 In most cases they were struck in digging wells, at depth of from twenty to thirty feet below the surface.
 Tn view of the ia t that there is not more than one well to the square mile in the counties named, and the area Of d we'll forms but very small fraction of q square mile, Judge West thinks the evi. denee alread, obtained not only suiii- cient to prove the former existence ol the buried race, but to prove that they were very numerous.
 We can hardly assume that chance has directed the digging of wells only where human remains are buried.
 Whether the race existed before the glacial epoch or immediately after if, is too early to determine. Judge West is inclined to fix their period of occupancy as afier the glacial epoch and prior to the deposition of the Loess.
 In calling upon the local newspapers of Kansas to lay the facts before the people at an early day, and urging ibe propfieiv of saving such remains when found, and noting carefully the condi tions under which they occur, the Judge says:
 "Here we have buried race en' wrapped in a profound and startling mystery-a race whose appearance and exit in the worlds drama proceed stu pendious geological changes marking our continent, and which perhaps re- quired hundreds of thousands of years in their accomplishment. The prize is no less than determining when this mysterlous people lived, how they lived, when they passed out of existence, and why they became extinct"

A Sensible Girl.

"Ill tell you what" said New York gir! the other day, while examining a printed curriculum, and trying to make up her mind what study she would take up next, "I'll tell you what l would like to study-I would like to study medicine. I don't mean that l would like to be a physician and practice, but only to know what to do at home if anybody is sick or anything happens, l am sure it would be more useful to me than"-and she turned to the prescribed course of study -"than spherical trigonometry and nav igation. What is the use of me studying navigation? But we cannot run for the doctor every time anybody sneezes or coughs, and would like to know what to do for any one who is little sick"
 This New York girl is sensible and has made a wise choice. Perhaps she never will be smart enough 10 work out an intricate problem in algebra, and may be she will never know the techui- cal names of all the bones in her body, but if her baby brother, while left in her charge, should burn his hand or be sud denly seized with croup, she will know what is the best thing to do for him while waiting for the doctor to come And when she is wife and mother she will meet calmly and intelligently the accidents and illnesses which are inevlt- able in every family.
