What is ] Hirage.


 Recently the papers have given notices
 of wonderful mirages that have been
 seen upon the coast of Europe, and it IS not strange that some Of my young friends should ask about them. The name mirage is French one, meaning Ito loom Up." l. should be pronounced mee-razh, as near as the pronunciation can be written. In some countries q mirage is very are,ln others 1t Is almost 1 of daily occurrence. Before I try to tell
 you what causes Q mirage, 1 must first describe how they look. Sometimes places very far distant appear to be l close at hand and seen in the air; at sea l ships known to be many miles distant l are seen as if susp-nded in the air. In ! travelIug across the continent 1 have | seen many a mirage. In the distance would appear a beautiful sheet of water,
 wlth hesdlaDds, islands, and sometimes l a fort could be plainly seen, and even ships. As tO water, the illusion was SO perfect that 1t was difficult to believe l that it was not real. In the early days of travel to California by trains of
 wagons overland, many of the parties suffered greatly, and some were entirely | lost, by pushing out for what seemed to
 be water. Sad, indeed, are the stories ! told of tuis mistake.
 This is not easy 10 explain unless you know something about light. Most of you have noticed that when you place 1 an oar or & pole in the clear wated of a pond or & river 1t seems to be bent. If you look across a hot stove the objects on the other side appeared to be curi- ously distorted and out of place. Rays ! of light passing from a denser medium ! tO a lighter one are bent on a straight ! course. Thus when they pass from an oar OF pole n the water, they are bent, ! mud the object appears to be crooked. When they pass from common air ! through much lighter heated air, the Ob- Iects seem tO be bent out of their shape. 1 Now all the mirages I have seen have been where the soil became very hOtfrom ] tho sun: this hot soil heated the ar just above II. There was layer of hot air close 10 tbe earth, and just above the earth the air was not heated. Objects seen at a distance through these two | kinds of air were singularly distorted, and, like things seen across the hot air ot stove. much out of shape. In this state of the ar barren, sandy tract looks like water, and clumps of bushes are distorted to look hke trees. Wher- ever a mirage has been examined the appearance has been found to be caused
 by difference in the density of the air,
 whether from contact with heated earth,
 or seen at sea, with hested water. Mi-
 rage IS very interesting phenomenon
 to see once or twice. but when It occurs
 day after day one soon tires of its unnat-
 ural appearance and prefers to look upon
 a landscape that IS real.-American Az
 ricultUrist.

The neaih nf Enstl..

M M. C0ntreras, who returned last evening from Hermosiilo, says that two Co three deaths from new cases Of vel low fever are occurring there daily. This is such a great difference between the time when from fifteen to eighteen occurred daily that the people are greatly encouraged. Mr. Contreras saw William Eustis just ten minutes before he died. He left him a little while, and Eustis was taken out for burial before he got back. Smurden, whom they called George. Lis gwen name, died five days before Eustis' death took place. When Eustis and Smurden came to Her mosillo they came right Co the shop Of C0utreras and Iis brother The next day they took the fever. Snurdea died in three days and Eustis d;ed In the eleventh day after their arrival They hired a woman tO nurse them at et day. Alter their death she searched Eustis' clothes aud found an eagle and a double eagle and three Mexican dollars and a check or grecnback. The effects were taken by Fernando EniEo. who gave the doctor S5 and the nur-e s out 0f this, and kept the ba.anca. He sand the paper was no account. YniEo says .his was all the money they had. EustIs said that he and George were going Co the state of Guerrero. Contveras knew Eustis well m Tucson.

Indians in the Chlrieahuas.

 Mir R. H. Cavlll, who has ranch in the Chiric .huss, three miles from Camp Fucker, came in from his place last even ing, and furnished the Epitaph with the following facts in relation to the return of the reDegades:
 For the past four or five days small bands ot Indians have been seen nov ing north along the mountains, although some are bolder and take the open country. On last Thursday @ solitary buck, with three ponies, came to Llnder- mans ranch, five miles from Camp Camp Rucker, and demanded something 10 eat. which was furnished him by Lin- derman, and he went on hls way re- ioicing. The Indians seem to have broken up into small bands and are nov ing on their way 10 San Carlos as best ss they can. Mir. Cavill says that for the past six months there has not month passed without Indians being seen n the Chlricahuas; in fact, he believes there Is a baud of fifteen or twenty who make their home there continually, keeping up communication between San Carlos and the Sierra Madre. On the Sth of the present month three h. Qldl- GhL4t ND AlE 1hN AAAAA aA t--L -a- Of Rucker canyon, which, beng Idle had been left ID charge of watchman, and demanded food. The watchman cooked supper for them and they remained all night and in the morning after break fast they left
 Captain Rafferty who has been scout ing with his company along the llne from Cloverdsle to San Bernardino ranch for some time past, 1t seems has claimed that the Indians were ID the Chiricahuas, and went to the trouble oi getting affidevits from ranchers to sus- tain his position, but General Crook has persistently denied the fact. The h. dians have not committed any deprada- tions here lately other than c. Kill few calves which they could conveniently pack away. Their desire has been to keep as quiet as possible.
 Mir. Cayill, in view of the proximity and constant menace of Indians has concluded to abandon ranchIng as a business in that locality and offers his place and cattle for sale. He doesn't propose to risk his life, or that of hIs wifi, in a country where he Is not pro tected from the often recurring raids of red skins, who, when whipped out from Mexico, are taken back and fattened up in condition for another numbering ton when spring-time comes. And thus li is American citizens are compelled to abandon their homes through the peace policy of General Crook.

Ereninr Panrrs.

l. needs no cl lse observer to see that he eveing papers in the West are grow ing in importance. Among them are found many of the best paying and most successful papers. An evening paper lGs several advantages. IL publishes the markets and news of the day up to six o'clock, twelve hours ahead of the morning papers. The difference of time enables them to gather important events in the East up to SIX o'clock every day.
 The evening paper Is more suitable to tO the working people. and Tn this coun- .ry nearly everybody works, so that "the Fo-kIug people, means everybody. Ar -1r Jle days labor k over the working nan who desires to be well informed Gp1u the current events Of the day reads lis evening paper, which furnishes him with @ su-lmary of all the important news contained ID the morning papers, not published the evening before, and .li tLe news of the day. The growth ID importance and popularity therefore, ll the evening paper IS natural and logical.
 The excellent habit of reading and de- HlEI 70 De 10 -cll-lultIlAt4 are EEbh 4lE HD that the nan who lives in a city where be can get t every day and does not .ak- @ daily paper IS behind the tunes and sure to become rIdiculously ig- l0rau. Cf what Is going on in this active, 1rsgrrs5ive world of ours. A the local daily paper glves ali the important gen -ral news, and the local news as well, 1t .- natural first to take that. The home paper works for the city or town in which # is published, and therefore comments itself to home people who are interested in the welfare of the town.
 The evening papers combine general ltiIi.y with Cheapness. Take the Press, for instance. Anybody can afford It; no- body cannot afford 1t. The price of the paper per week Is less than ninety-nine men ont of hundred spend foolishly every day of their lives. People under stand how little the paper costs them. and look upon 1t as a good bargain. Therefore the list of subscribers is grow ing rapidly, and 1t includes hundreds of our euterpri~ing and progressive citi- zsns. Chicago Press.
