What the Pilgrim to Pixies Peak Sees
A Wonderful Electric Storm.
Pixies Peak Letter to the New York Post
The visitors register at the Pike
Peak station is curiosity in it's way
A rush OF blood to the head, causing
lightness and headache, and extreme
nervousness are the most common
sensations experienced by tourists.
From both OF these disorders the
register suffers. These sentiments
vary from the sublimest utterances
of the Holy Scriptures and Milton
to the commonest kind Of Western
slang. Page after page bring tos
gether such as these: GLORY to God
in the Highest" and, "Well, I've
climbed Pixies Peak, and I'll
never do it again, you bet;
Let all Thy works praise Thee, o
God, and 81 am seventyesix years
old and have clum up 14,147 feet;
how is that for high 7"
Many who have strong lungs re-
main purposely all night to witness
the electric and stellar sights, which
are sometimes very fine. One night
last summer an electric storm came
on, which, from the description
given me by Officer Leitzell, must
have been very grand. For two days
previously thunder storms had been
rolling arlong the mountains, and
then for over two hours everything
was tipped and covered with cleo
tricity Spanish pack mules, left on
the summit for the night, appeared
to be all on fire; the clothes of the
men seemed ablaze; electricity
streamed from the tips Of the fin
gers, fir M the nose and from the
hair. The thermometer on top OF
tie building spat fra at every revo-
luton. Every rock on the summit
was covered with flame.

Mosquitoes in Arctic Regions.

One bitter drop in our cup OF Joy was
the monstrous but inseparable curse of
Arctic summer life-the mosquito. He
abounded, 'ff6urished, luxufiated, sur
passed himself, out-mosquitoed himself
on the Kuioi River. We we're at his
mercy; our wells, gauntlets, handker-
chiefs, fapper, all were vanity and
vexation. To kill was wanton, for to de-
stroy sufficient was impossible. We had
foreseen all this, and even thought of
taking, among other things, wood
pecker from home with us to protect our
faces while we slept; but one woodpecker
would have been solemn mockery; we
should have wanted a fresh woodpecker
every five minutes.
torical flies sent to punish the disobe-
dent, obstinate Egyptians; they came
forth in order, and after three previous
plagues-the corruption of the waters.
the multitude of frogs and swarms of lice
had entirely failed. We are becoming
connoisseurs in mosquitoes; We watch
them traverse our wells like figures
on slides in a magic lantern. There
is yellow striped vampire mosquito,
with triple fang to his proboscis;
there is the brown, hump-backed or
camel mosquito, with legs of gossamer,
who appears to our vindictive eyes to be
from two to three inches in length; fin
ally there is the scorpion mosquito, very
searching and business-like. We dislike
him for he wastes no time. We know
now that leather is hollow delusion and
armor- plated gauntlets alone are of avail.
Sometimes mosquito comes and kills
himself by squeezing between our finger
and thumb. sometimes by flying against
my fapper.
There are moments, but SO rare and
delicious that 1 almost tremble to de-
scribe them, when we find mosquito
who has anchored himself by the probo-
els in our gloves-and we watch tie ex-
preston OF baffied hatred in his counte-
nance with which he watches
the approach of the avenging
finger. Oh, the peaceful, blissful en-
joyment of that moment Sometimes we
watch him in his anxious, hurried efforts
to pierce the glove-he knows that time
is all he needs-standing upon his fore
legs, with his hind legs fourishing in the
air, while he bores away diligently
through the thick leather in his wicked
thirst for blood. Sometimes in our
frenzy we ensnare mosquito, and get
o trample on his head. We ask our
selves, in Hours past endurance, why the
law of nature should be reversed, and
man, the lord OF creation, become the
prey of savage creatures. We have
formed q grave, if impious resolution;
we will take mosquito by stratagem,
pinion him, and with the help of burn
ing glass offer him in sacrifice to the
midnight sun Land of the North
Wind.

pays the following tribute to one trait
Of his character "Gen. Grant never
swears. In all our acquaintance with
him we never heard him utter pro-
fame word. His example in this re-
spect was as consistent as it was con-
spicuous. Most army officers swear
when they are excited. Gen. Scott
used to swear. Gen. Sheridan will
put in an oath now and then to give
emphasis to his ideas, and Gen. Sher-
man can make the air lurid with his
cursing. Not SO Gen. Grant. We
have been with him in some of the
most trying circumstances of his mill
tary career, and san testify that no
cause Of anxiety or of anger has ever
drawn any sort Of 40 oath from his

the first train that passes at that re-
markable height.
Through Mr.. Keifer, the engineer

go out on the finished part, and those
only who have been up in balloon

the feeling of awe which strikes the

HOW DEEPLY DOES THE EARTH
QUAKE,


QUAKE, ~ .3
The recent earthquake at Virginia
City was not noticed at all in the min.
ing debts, but only by people on the
surface. Their famous earthquake of
some time age, which shook down
chimneys and fire-walls, cracked brick
buildings and did other damage, was
merely noticed by some Of the mines
working in the upper levels, but it
did no damage, not even shaking down
loose stones and earth. The station
men in the various shafts fell it the
strongest, and the deepest point where
it was noticed was by the stasion-ten-
der at the 900-foot level of the I'm
perial- Empire shaft-900 feet below
the surface. He said it felt like q
sudden faint throb or pulsation of the
air, as though blast had been let of
at distance above, below, or in some
indefinite direction. In some of the
mines the shock was not noticed ct all
even by station-men. Commenting on
this peculiar fact at the time, the
Gold Hill Netos remarked that the
earthquake seemed to be an electrical
disturbance, from the atmosphere and
not from the depths of the earth.

POOR PLACE FOR HAIR Pms.

At one Of the Thomas concerts at
Chicago, the other evening, the cleo
trio lights suddenly went out, leaving
the audience in perfect darkness for
few minutes. This was thought glo-
rious by some Of the young couples,
and over in the southeast corner of
section B some one was heard to say
in a suppressed undertone, "Je-
whillikens, Susie, what the deuce have
you got in your MOUTH" Just then
the light blazed up again, and ayoung
man was noticed holding his hand
over his mouth. A stream of blood
was trucking through his fingers and
the expression on his face touched
the observers heart. His girl took
something out of her mouth and put
it in her pocket, looking panied and
guilty. She led him quietly to the
door and they passed out. Young
ladies should not wear hairpins in
their mouths. 1t is not the place for
them, and a wound in the side of the
jaw made by coming suddenly and
painfully in contact with cruel two
pointed hairpin at time when his
heart is set on moment of ecstatic
bliss, might result in a GOODNESS on the
part Of the young man which would
be heart-breaking.
