A Wonderful Escape.

A resident of Butte City. Montana,
relates an adventure in the Yellowstone
National Park which would have ex-
cited the envy of Baron Munchausen.
While examining a geyser he fell in and
disappeared from the sight of his hor-
rifed companions. They looked into
the geyser hole and coniectured that it
was about fifty feet in depth. They
then threw in pebbles to learn if there
was any water in the hole into which
their companion might have fallen.
Water was discovered, bat there came
no call for aid from their companion.
After hours of anxious waiting he was
given up as lost and the party departed.
The following day the missing man
walked unhurt into the camp. He said
that he fell into the water and was not
harmed, but did not have the strength
to cal to his friends. He clung to a
rock. till in his own words, suddenly
I discovered that the water was rising.
This gave me hope that might be able
to keep afloat until the surface was
reached. The water continued to rise
more rapidly, and [ at last found my
self at the point from which | hai
fallen. Although well-nigh exhausted,
exerted my remaining strength in
climbing TO the surface. This reached,
| managed to crawl some distance away
from the mouth of the crater, where [
lost cons sciousness. When l recovered
I was being cared flr by strangers-the
men who conducted me to my friends. ]"

The Work of Electricity.

The discovery by horses lately that
electricity of wild and decidedly quar-
relsome nature pervades the pavements
of Nassau street, was one of the many
electrical wonders. The London Globe
says that ga curious instance of electri-
cal development by friction has been OBJ
served in British brewery, though not
without causing good deal of alarm
among the workmen. The building is
constructed OF stone and iron the floor
being laid in ashphalt. In the upper
story of the malthouse was a malt clean
ing machine, from which the malt was
taken through an iron shoot to wagons
below for distribution through the works.
Is was found that if this machine re-
manned in operation for a length of time
electricity was developed by the friction
Of the malt with the shoot, and in the
most isolated portions OF it the tension
OF the electricity was such as to cause
g continuous stream of sparks. The
malt itself cracked while the sparks
flew from it to the hands of those stand
ing by, who looked upon the manifesto
ton as one of demonical origin. An
expert was called in to examine the phe-
nomenon, and the subject was brought
before the Electrical Technical Union.
DIR. Werner Siemons showed how,
through the influence of the ashphat
floor, the malt room was SO insulated
from the other portions. of the building
as to become large Leyden jar.

Charmed by n Snake.

The Sacramento Union says "a lady
reader writing from Graniteville, Nevada
County, Cal, under date of August II,
relates an incident of a little child hay
ing been charmed by a rattlesnake, as
follows On Saturdaylas was work
ing in my kitchen, when / was startled
by loud scream from my little boy,
years old On asking the cause he said ::
"Oh, mamma, big snake-a great big
snake I" [ rushed for the door, and, i'm
agine my feelings when, almost para
lyzed with horror, l could only gaze
on the awful sight that met my eyes.
"'Ten feet from me, and on the door
step of the woOdshed stood my baby
boy, % months old, gazing. as if fasci-
mated, upon u large rattlesnake, which
was coiled in front of him, about two
feet away, and was gently moving its
head backward and forth, looking at the
child with eyes like flame. My screams
frightened it, and my daughter, II years
old, ran past me and caught her little
bcothr out Of the way, when the rep
tile glided swiftly away. My screams
brought my husband and teamster to
the spot, they being but short distance
off unloading quartz at the mill. They
soon killed the snake, but not until after
a contest in which the snake fought well.
It was nearly four feet long and had ten
rattles and button.
1.-THE little child cried bitterly for half
an hour to go to see the pretty saak, as
as he called it, and would not be paci-
fed until shown the dead body of the
horrid thing. l was completely un-
nerved from fright and do not think |
