All over the Pacific coast are to be found
indelible TRACES of long-forgotten and pre-
historic raee. While the investigation has
been 'Ot butscomparatively recent date, still
enough has beenldiscovered TO show that an
almost limitess field has so far been only dip
ped into in few places most easy of access
to the explorer As yet these researches have
been confined Almost altogether to the imme-
diate coast of Southern California and to the
cluster of islands lying at short distance
therefrom. These islands-Santa Rosa, Santa
Cruz, Anacata, San Miguel and San Nicolas
which are now almost or quite unnhabited
and are only used as ranges for sheep and
half-wild cattle and hogs, are known to have
been densely populated in long ages past, las is
shown by extensive remains in the shape of
burial places and debris of former habitations.
The exploration OF these isolated spots has
been confined almost exclusively to the agents
of foreign societies, and large quantities Of
the most Interesting relics have been eXhumed
and shipped to foreign colleges and museums
at7dfferent times during the last decade. One
Of the largest of these islands, Santa Cruz,
some 80 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara,
is as yet comparatively unexplOred, though it
is known to abound with numerous traces of
a former race. The scenery of this island is
most beautiful, and although bearing evidence
of having been inhabited in ages past, still it
presents many traces of being much 'young-
err than the neighboring mainland, having
probably been thrust up from the sea by some
convulsion of nature long after the formation
of the wild and desolatelooling mountain
chain which here approaches close to the shore
of the California coast. Another Of these
islands, San Nicolas, some 20 miles off shore,
has been rendered famous by having been the
solitary home of a woman who, having been
accidentally abandoned thereon, existed OF
such miserable sustenance as was afforded by
shell-dsh and wild roots for upward of IL
years, and until rescued by sealing party il

SoL1DF1ED KEROSENE. appears that the
experiments which have for some time been
in progress at Bakoo, the Russian mineral
oil centre of the Caspian oil fields, for put
ting into practice the discovery lately made
for soldifying kerosene, have at length been
crowned with success, and that some thous-
snds of tons of the new article are in proc
ess of preparation for the European market.
By certain process it seems that kerosene
and other similar oils can be converted into a
substance having the appearance Of tallow,
and can be made to revert again to their
original liquid condition without in the least
impairing their properties. The process, it
appears, has been secured by wealthy Swe-
dish firm in Bakoo that can now utilize the
discovery only so far as it suits their own in-
terests. The form in which they intend to
employ it for the moment, it is said, consists
in the manufacture of candles from kerosene
and grosser petroleum products which can
be produced at Bakoo, according to reports,
at price which will enable the proprietary

THE LAST KENTUCKY CUNNING EPISODE
grew out of an election riot at Bryantsville
last year, when several negroes were killed.
Judge George Denny of Lancaster, one Of
the best known criminal lawyers in the state,
helped prosecute the men indicted, and by so
doing incurred the displeasure of a young
man named Anderson. The two had words
in hotel not long ago after that Denny
carried donble- barreled shotgun in addition
to his usual armament, and both waited for
the difficulty" 1t came last Wednesday.
Denny was talking with his wife and little
child in the street when Anderson came up,
the poor woman, who knew what must come,
fed into a store, and the firing began. The
charge from Denny's shotgun went over An
derson's head before the latter could shoot
Denny grappled him, and the two struggled
while men rushed from all quarters to see
the fun and dodge bullets. Finally the law
yer got his pistol out, shot five bullets
through his antagonist, killing him on the
spot, and there the story ends. OF course all
concerned are the very best brand of Ken
tucky gentlemen and highly esteemed.

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of Il very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases-
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 to 10 karats,
and 5 or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thas
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss' Goid
Watch Case, in which NONE of thee things
ever occur. This watch case is not an cJperi-
ment--it has been made nearly thirty gears.

A VERY SINGULAR AND STARTLING DIsoov-
ERY, consisting of the skeletons of 23 persons
and about the same number of horses, was
made in the northern part Of Dickey county
Oak, recently, by party of explorers. The
bodies were found in valley in that singular
range of hills extending from near Fort Pierre
to the British line near the head of Moose
river. Among the skeletons were found brass
cavalry buttons spurs, and other effects OF
mounted men, but no guns or implements of
war. There we're also some shoes remaining
on the horses feet That this was either a
party accompanied by an escort of cavalry,
or detachment of cavalry altogether, there
can be no doubt. IL is believed they met with
q terrible death, or the horses would not have
been killed They were probably killed as Q
last resort, and their bodies used for protec
tion. They have been there 20 years, as al
connection between the bones has disappear
ed. This country has been a fruitful field o.
death, as evidenced by the many skeleton
found in other places most of which probab

The DAYS OF TINDER AND RUSH LIGHTS. -'
Young and even middle aged people, aecus-
toned to the convenience of the modern luci-
fer match, can hardly imagine the time when
the tinder- box, with its clumsy hint and steel
and broad birthstone matches, was the only
means of procuring a light. Some people

fame; but often on a wintry morning it was
weary work with the servant who had TO kin

Some people who think about the new time
system get confused by trying to carry it
around the world, and write to newspapers
about it. Thus, il we start at o'clock in
the forenoon, January /, it will obviously be
the same hour in the evening on the opposite
side of the earth. But what is the day II
we follow the 'hour" districts around one
way it is January l., while if we go the other
it is December 81. With any kind of local
time the case is the sAme-the new system
makes no, o,differenoe-And the explanation is
that the day is made to change arbitrarily on

otherwise bird flying west as fast as the sun

year since 1855. OF these 1872 are In the

the last report Kentucky has displaced New
Jersey in national-bank capital, and vir-
ginia has been superseded by Wisconsin,
Texas, and California. In the next two
years the charters OF 976 banks expire,
having capital OF S275, 5fS, 900 and circula-
ton OF 1856, 1885, 900. The average rate
OF interest now paid by the United
States on bonds deposited as security for

Professor MaasSen, Of the Vienna Uni
versIty, who was Kissed by by the students
last spring for his anti-German speech in
the Diet, met with the same fate to-day in
the splendid building on the Ringstrasse,
which the University has just taken pos
session OF. In the course OF his inaugural
lecture he referred to the unpleasant
events" OF last term, whereupon some
hundreds Of the students burst out as be-
fore into cries of Pereat" and cheers for
their German" professors. About BOO
of them then rose and lett the room, but
when DR.. Maassen ordered the doors to be
closed they returned and forced them open.
Regular fighting then began between those
inside, comprising many Czech students,
and the Germans outside. Ultimately Pro-
fessor EXner, the dean Of the University,
induced the students TO abstain from fur
Their demonstrations, as they had already
said what they intended to say, and in nc
unmistakable manner.
