A New Variety Of Glass.

A Vienna chemist has recently dis
covered a new variety of glass. 1t does
not contain any silica, boric acid, potash,
soda, lime or lead, and is likely to at
tract the attention of all professional
persons on account of its peculiar COM
position. Externally it is exactly SINH
lar to glass, but its luster is higher and
it has a greater refraction, of equal
hardness, perfectly white, clear, trans
parent, can be ground and polished,
completely insolublc in water, neutral,
and it is only attacked by hydrochloric
or nitric acid, and is not affected by
hydroauoric acid. 1t is easily fusible
in the flame of a candle, and can be
made of any color. Its most important
property is that it can be readily fused
onto zinc, brass or iron. 1t can also be
for glazing of articles of glass and por-
celain. As hydrohuoric acid has no
effect on the new glass it is likely to find
employment for many technical pur-
poses.

A Divers Ruse.

An old deep-sea toiler, with long
chapters, of thrilling adventure in his
memory, tells the following about some
of his underwater companions: 81
dived once in Mobile Bay, where had
put over three hundred chains under
an iron-clad The greatest annoyance
that we had there was sharks. They
didn't hardly dare tackle us, because
with our amor we looked more like
scare-crows than anything else. They
would come sailing along, and gradu-
ally swim toward us, with their great
big mouths wide open; but within a
few feet of us they would stop and lay
there, Tapping their fins, and looking,
it seemed to me, like the very evil one
himself. Finally we devised way to
scare them off that never failed to
brighten them so that they would
stay away an hour or longer be-
fore they dared to come back.
The armor we wear is air-tight,
you know. Our jacket sleeves were
fastened around our wrists with an
elastic, so that the air could not escape.
By running my finger under the sleeve
of my Jacket, I could let the air out,
and as it rushed into the water it would
make sort of kissing sound, and a
volume of bubbles shoot up. So when
ever those sharks would come prowling
around me, would hold out my arm
toward them, and, putting my finger
under the elastic of my jacket-sleeve.
I would let a jet of air out, and send a
stream of bubbles into the sharks face,
with kissing noise, like steam from
a gauge-cock. The way that those
sharks would scoot off was funny to

Chasing Bears Into Caves.
Uvalde Eesperian

Bear hunts are still the order of the
day in Nueces Canyon, Texas. A
party were out i'll the mountains the
other day and saw an old bear enter a
cave. They at once followed, and
rashly, stopped up the mouth of the
cave and sent for Bill Wells, one Of
the most fearless and daring men in
the canyon, and famous as a bear hun
ter. The prospect OF his favorite sport
soon brought Wells to the spot, and as
soon as he could equip himself and
light his torch he proceeded to explore
the retreat of his game. Having en-
tered the cavern, he was passing slowly
under aledge or shelf of rock on the
side when he was surprised to feel the
torch suddenly struck from his hand.
CHANGING suddenly upward he saw that
the bear had been calmly watching his
progress from the ledge. That was the
poor fellows last joke, however, for
the next moment shot rang through
the silent cave and bruin passed in his
checks.
Dave Baker was out hunting, and
his dogs started large bear, and after
a considerable chase ran the animal
into a cave. The hunter followed in
hot pursuit and was little disconcert-
ed at the very entrance when blow
from tremendous black paw knocked
the gun cut of his hand. That was
leaving him in bad predicament-
within arms length of monstrous
animal at bay and entirely at its mercy.
Fortunately the dogs came up at the
instant and attacked the bear. This
gave Baker time to recover his gun and
kill the animal, not, however, soon
enough to save the life of one of his
dogs, which fell victim to the fury OF
the beast.

A Deadly Stab.
Blll Nye's Bo0IaeTans.

"Bill Nye" has written book calico
sTbe Forty Liars" Judging rom the
wa, he lied about this community NC
ought 10 be at the head OF the list oil the
notable forty. ,.,....,
The above choice morsel was written
Inv the Endowment Rink editor OF the
Mormon organ of Zion. Closer and
closer the lines are being drawn by the
church of Latter Day Saints. Only a
short time ago the polyganiists passed
a resolution not to allow tie Gehtiie
with a clean shirt TO mingle with the
NAVY at their select dances, and now
the Mormon youth who writes heavy
editorials for the Desert Nelcs on week
days and presents his plans and speci-
tications to God on Sundays Tor the
management of the universe during the
following week, has given us cruel
blow. Long ago resolution was
passed refusing the editor OF this paper
the freedom of the house, and now we
are cut adrift, with no good society to
which we can flee except the question
able society OF the Gentle. 49,
The festive reader can readily see
how lonely our life will henceforth be
to us. With what wearisome same
ness we now visit the homes where only
one isolated wife runs the ranch. How
we miss the prattle of carload OF mis-
cellaneous kids as we enter the door,
and how still and monoGonous are our
visits where we miss the cordial welcome
of nineteen hostesses.
We have been black balled in the
tithing shebang, frowned upon IN the
endowment house, and cursed III the
tabernacle.
The next period in our downward
career will be death, perhaps at the
hand of the avenging angel. Some
sore-eyed DANTE from the Michigan
penitentiary will be selected to dog our
footsteps and smite us in the stiffness
of the night with an iron coupling pin,
and when the glorious god OF day peeps
over the Black Hills, we will be at rest,
lying in the bright glare of the early
morn with our features knocked galley
west.
No one can ever know how we feel.
The church of Zion has soured on us
and we are an outcast on the face OF the
earth, with only one wife and the doors
of the temple closed against us.
Branded as the boss Of the Forty
Liars, cut adrift, with no chance to be
sealed to a siren fresh from the pest
house on the Jordon, we cry out in our
anguish and rend our garments, and
spit upon the carpet, for our punish
ment is greater than we can bear.

The court informed him that sher'
i'll had been appointed to 10 the hang
ing, and .,
Capt. Ned's patience was Mt an end
His wrath was boundless. The subject
of sheriff was iudicionsly dropped
When the crowd arrived at the can
yon, Capt. Ned climbed tree and mr.
ranged the halter, and then came down
and noosed his man. He opened hls
bible, and laid aside his hat. Selecting
a chapter ut random, he read 1t through
in deep bass voice and with sincere
solemnity. Then he said:
Lad, you are about to go aloft and
give an account of yourself; and the
lighter n mans manifest is, as far as
sins concerned, the better for him.
Make n clean breast, man, and carry a
log with you that'll bear inspection.
You killed the nigger?'
No reply.
A long pause.
The captain read another chapter,
pausing, from time to time, to impress
the effect. Then he talked an earnest,
persuasive sermon to him, and ended
by repeating the question:
"Did you kill the nigger?"
No reply, other than a malignant
scowl. The captain now read the first
and second chapters OF Genesis, with
deep feeling, paused moment, closed
the book reverently, and said, with a
perceptible SAVIOR of satisfaction:
"There. Four chapters. There's
few that would have took the pains
with you that have"
Then he swung up the condemned,
and made the rope fast; stood by and
timed him half an hour with his watch,
and then delivered the body to the
court. A little after, as he stood con-
templating the motionless figure, a
doubt came into his face; evidently he
felt q twinge of conscience misgiving

maybe. But L was trying to do for the
best"
When the history of this affair
reached California Git was in the "early
days") it made deal of talk, but did
not diminish the captains popularity
in any degree. It increased it, indeed.
California had population then that
inflicted justice after o fashion that
was simplicity and primitiveness itself,
and could therefore, admire appreciate
lively when the same fashion was fol-
lowed elsewhere.

Trout Breeding.

Any person in possession of spring
producing supply through the year
of from one to two hundred square
inches of pure water may grow, with
right appurtenances and requisite
knowledge and care, from 5000 to Co.
600 trout in one year, worth, at present
prices for stocking ponds and streams,
500 per 1000, or 500 to $4,000 to
weigh a pound each, worth 81 per
pound. The first thing necessary in
trout culture is the construction of a
pond, which must be fed by pure
spring water, and must be kept clear
and fresh. 1t is essential to the pre-
servation of the trout that the tempera-
ture of the water be preserved at from
400 to 500. The success attendant
upon the culture of trout is instanced
in the establishments of Seth Green,
Livingston Stone and other noted fish
culturists, who realize large profits from
this source.-Sed World.

No Mortuary Report

There is a city ordinance requiring the
practicing physicians to furnish certificate
of all cases of sickness that die while in
their charge, the cause of the death, sex
and age of the deceased, to the VI dertaker,
who in turn is required to furnish the same
to the city physician or health officer, whose
duty tits to furnish the same to the council
in his monthly report. There has not been
any mortuary report furnished the health
officer for the past week, and the number
of deaths is not known. 1t is tineable
ollense for undertakes to bury any one
without certificate from the attending
physician. The mortuary report is well
worth keeping, and it should be properly
kept or not at all.

away husband who had, after brief mar
riage, deserted her in Chicago some eight
months or more ago, and learning through
Chicago drummer that he was hanging
out in Dallas, she concluded to come on
and reclaim him. The last she saw of him
was one evening about dusk, at their home
in Chicago, when he attired himself in his
best rigging and told her that he was
going down town 10 be initiated in secret
order and that he was going to have his
life insured in her favor for $4,000, in case
of his death. She retired flattering herself
that she had such flattering and kind
husband, but awoke the following morning
to find him missing. She feared that he
had been foully dealt with, and notified
the chief of police and the citizens secured
for him, but no trace ofhim could be found,
and his wife, who, at the time, never once
dreamed that he had deserted her,mourned
him as dead until she met the loquacious
drummer, who told her that her worse half
was still in the flesh and i'll excellent
health, when she came on to see him. In
ompany with another woman she called
t the office of City Marshal ldyester-

his laundry on Jackson street, near the
Santa Fe railroad. She stepped
in the laundry before he saw
