1t is said that Jumbo. who is to
make his first bow of the season to
the public in Madison Square Gar
den, n. u, has gained about ton of
flesh since he arrived in America. but
his growth as a monster will hardly
interest the community as much as
the reported growth of the whole
elephantine herd in accomplish
ments during the past winter. Per-
haps more wonderful exhibition of
brute intelligence was never given
than their performances in the ring
of the greatest ON earth," and the
almost incredible feats in their role
of last year We're worth much effort
to see. Bnt it is reported that they
have been faithful pupils at Mr..
Barnum'S Bridgeport school during
the winter, and that their proficiency
is now unparalleled in all the history
of elephantine marvels.

MICA MASKS.

A well known German manufactur
er of mica wares, Herr Raphael of
Breslau, now makes mica masks for
the face, which are quiet transparent,
very light, and affected neither by
heat nor by acids. They afford good
protection to all workmen who are IL
able to ba injured by heat, dust or
noxiOus vapOrs, all workers with fire,
metal and glass meters, stone-masons,
etc In all kinds of grinding and
polishing work the flying fragments
rebound from the arched mica plates
of the mask without injuring them.
These plates are fixed in a metallic
frame, which is we'll isolated by
means OF asbestos, so as not to be at
tackled by heat Or acid. These masks
allow the turning of the eyes in any
direction, and, as against mica specta-
cles, they afford disadvantage Of pro-
lection to the whole face. In certain
cases the neck and shoulders may
also be guarded by sheet of cloth
impregnated with tire-proof material,
or by an asbestos sheet attached to the
mask. The interval between the
mica and the eyes allows of workmen
who have poor eyesight wearing
spectacles, and Of workers with fire
or in melting operations wearing col
ored glass spectacles, under the mask,
without fear of breakage of the glass,
mica being such bad conductor of
heat. Where the mask has to be
worn long. it is found desirable to
add caoutchouc tube with mouth
piece for admission of fresh air; the
tube passes out to the shoulders,
where its funnel shape tube {some-
times holding moistened sponge) is
supported. The mask has sort of
cap attached to it for fixture on the
head

There is professor in Cornell col

deviltry. One night last week he
notified lady that he was going to
call at her house later in the evening
to watch a couple of students that
boarded with her. The 'bad boy
of the family told the students and
they laid for the professor. They
heard him come in and enter a closet
across the hall from their room, and
after little one of them took a re-
volver and the other a fire poker, and
under the pretense that they sup

when he started down stairs the

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND-There is
one woman in London who has her
wits about her, and when you come
to think about 1t the fact is highly
creditable to London. On the Strand
a thief suddenly snatched her purse
from her, and instantly disappeared
in the crowd. In the purse were
some small change and a check for
ten pounds. The lady spent no time
in a fruitless attempt to catch the
thief or find policeman. She went
to the nearest postoffice, took a tele-
graph blank, and sent a dispatch to
the bank, saying: when any one
presents check signed by--for
ten pounds, arrest him and detain
him till come" She then got into
a cab and drove to the bank When
she got there she found a policeman
explaining to a very astonished
young man that hA would have to
wait little, as they expected lady
visitor. The young man will have
three years to get over his astonish-
ment.

CURIOUS INDIAN BELIEF.
Looking for Another Flood and building
M Ark.
Seattle (W T) Post. Intelligence

Seattle (W 7.) Post InteRigencer.
Lately Robert s. Gardner, u special agent of
the Interior department, has been inspecting
and investigating the tribes of "nOble red
mon " who cumber the earth in various parts
of Washington territory. In an interview
Mr.. Gardner made some interesting state
m ents about two tribes in eastern Washington.
We extract what follows: "The Sampoel
tr ibe numbers about 400 Indians and they all
belong to a sect known as the dreamcrs They
are looking for another flood, which they ex-
pect soon to come upon the earth, In order
to be prepared they have secured all the neces-
sary material for the building of an ark, in
which to sail off, as Noah did when the flood
comes. Among the material is 10000 feet Of
lumber. The ark is to be fifty feet long and
about fifty or sixty feet wide.
"The dreamers have small following
among tho Indians of the Palouse, Snake
River, Warm Springs, Umatillas and other
tribes They believe that the whites will all
be drowned when the flood comes and that
they only will be saved, and will be able to
live OFF the fat of the land without having to
work at all The direct followers Of Chief
Moses do not number over lii, although he
has small following OfamOng Indians OfOther
tribes. He has never occupied the large res
orvation set aside for him and his people, but
lives in the Inespellim valley, where he has
resided for years. This valley is between
Priests rapids and Camp Spokane / shall
recommend that this valley be set aside for
Moses and his people, and that his large reser-
vation which embraces number of rich
mines, bo thrown open TO the public In lieu
of this large tract of land / have recommended
that Moses be paid 100000 in money, in in
stallmonts. For instance, $4,000 as the first
payment and $4,000 each year for eight
years thereafter by the general government"

The Road to Dodge.

The following items from the King
man Citizen show that work is being
done on the shortened line of railroad
to Dodge City:
J. w. Mcintosh, railroad contractor,
informs us that Spar & Burris will ar
rive Saturday with one hundred teams
and full force of men to begin grading
three miles east of town. They will
work this way, as their contract finishes
the line to Kingman.
The commissioners proceeded to con
denim the right-of-way for the Santa Fe
road, last Friday. The price paid was
about 5000 per mile and as far as we
can hear has proven satisfactory. The
entire right-of-way is secured now, to
the east line of H. L. Balls farm, one
mile east of town. The total amount
awarded by the commissioners was 81,
700, and the money was promptly de-
posted with the county treasurer. The
company now await the action of oul
city, when the whole thing will be clos
ed up and the road completed to King
man by December 1st.

News reaches us of a row which oc-
CURED on the Cimarron river few deys
ago between a party of cowboys en-
ployed. by the Prairie Cattle company
and the Mexican residents of the plaza
where the disturbance was created, in
which three of the cowboys we're killed.
1t appears that number of the cow
boys went into the town, among them
being one named Jim Davis, we'll known
in Bent and Las Animas counties, and
after filing themselves with tanglefoot
whisky they undertook to run the town
to suit themselves and made several bad
breaks. The Mexicans wouldn't stand
the racket and opened fire on the cow
boys, killing Jim Davis and two others.
Our information is to the effect that
the cowboys did the first shooting.
Considerable excitement is said to pre-
vail on the Clmarron over the killing,
and the cowboys threaten to wipe the
offending plaza out of existence.-[Pu-
eblo Chieftain.
The reported killing on the Cimarron
is probably the one referred to BY the
Chieftain.
