part of Thayer. The latter claimed that
quantity of j=welry, amounting in value to
about 5000, had been obtained from him BY
Rhodes, who gave him his notes for that
amount. For the watch and ring, however,
no notes had been given, and it Was on these
that the suit was brought. Several of the
transactions were described by the witness.

Mr.. HIRsCHFELDER'S LUCKY DISCOVERY NEAR
WOODSTOCK.

iplbutp shaiisl
Mr.. Hirschfeider, American Nice-C Consul
here, and well-knovn arch9ologist, has
beer Gin luck" recently. A couple OF
weeks ago he was fortunate enough 10 Sc
cure some stone TOILETS with well-defined
hierOglyphics from MuskOka. He had
scarcely settled himself down TO business
again when he was OFF OH another eXpedi-
ton; this time to a place in the vicinity
OF Woodstock, where he has been
digging and delving for the past
four or five days. The story Of his eX-
petition is an interesting one. Twelve
years ago, while some laborers were en-
gagged in digging drain on the farm Of
George Crumble, about five miles east Of
Woodstock, and in the township and coun-
ty of Oxford, one OF them met with an
obstruction which he smashed with his
spade and pitched TO one side. 1t turned
out to be bone belonging TO some gigan-
tic animal, but nothing further was
thought OF il and the matter was forgot
ten. About two years ago it was decided
to tile-drain the same field, and in clearing
out the old drain other bones were found.
An enterprislng individual by the name OF
Carter secured them, and after cleaning,
vanishing, and duly labelling the relies,
proceeded TO exhibit them at so much
bead for the benefit OF the rising genera
ton. Mr.. IIirscbielder came TO hear Of
them, and after paying a good round sum
secured the bones. Another payment Sc.
cured the right to dig over Crumble's
field, in which they were found. A gang
OF men We're set TO work. A ditch 10 feet
long, 40 feet wide, and feet deep was
dug. and the enthusiastic archaOlogist
was rewarded by finding fully one
half OF the bones Of a gigantic mas
tOdon. 1t il needless TO say they
were very carefully taken from their rest
ing-place and boxed up for shipment TO
Toronto. They are in a remarkably good
state OF preservation, and their situation
rendered the task OF eXhuming them one
OF comparative ease. The surface soil con-
sists OF light sand, under which is a lay
er OF decaying vegetable matter. Under
this again Is harder layer Of decaying
vegetable mold; then comes o soft, yellow
lsh-colored clay, and last the hard
blue clay in which the remains were
found, the latter being only about four
feet below the surface. So far a. known
at present, these are the first remains OF
the kind ever discovered i'm Canada. To
give an idea OF the huge proportions OF
this monster, whose race was extinct long
before antiquity had begun, few measure
ments Of some OF the bones which Mr..
Hirschfeider brought back with him are
given. Several OF the ribs measure A
inches long by about II in circum-
ference. The lower law is no less
than 80 inches long, and must have weigh
ed, in the living animal, upward Of $50
INTO Of 81 n.
is inches long by % wide, while the root
is buried over inches in the jaw. One
vertebra measures II inches in length, and
one OF the bones OF the fore leg 80 inches
long by p inches in circumference. Mr..
householder thinks he has fully one half
OF the skeleton, and expects to get more.

A PanhelIenlc Festival.

The shrine of Tenos is reckoned espe-
cialy beneficial TO the eyes. Blind men,
women, and children stay for hours with
their eyes fixed on the gratings through
which the healing vapOr is supposed to as
cend from the vaults below. Perhaps the
priests, when they cOncocted this pro-
gramme for the sufferers, had been read.
ing that passage in AristOphanes which
recommends plaster OF TenOS garlic for
diseases OF the eye, for Tenos is celebrated
for the tineness of its garlic, and the eX-
halations from the crowded vaults were
redolent with the odor of the herb. Ii
was fine starry night, and the thousand
of little oil lamps which decorated the
church aud its steeple rivaled the lights
Of the celestial hemisphere in their twin
kings. Patience, assisted now and again
by an ingenious push, enabled me to yet

church. Men and women were there
grovelling on their knees cripples. blind
and halt were impl0ring the favor Of the
Madonna; further on a woman, after
standing ominously still for awhile as II
contemplating the scene, was suddenly
seized with religious frenzy. She shrieked,
she threw her arms about, and was carried
out in wild hysteria. This frenzy was
most infectious, and presently the whole
church was full of hideous yeils and mad
dened suppliants, who are supposed when
In this state to be under the special iufiu-
ence OF the Deity. Up in the gallery of the
church crowds were collected with their
beds, thei- carpets, their cooking-utensils.

given up as q clearinghouse to those who

still were those who could find few inches

Jean TrOttet's Heroic Life.

Geneva letter 10 the London Times
\ man who by dnt OF sheer courage
and energy oyercame almost insuperable
difficulties, and showed that life, even
when It seems almost curse. may be well
worth living, died last week at Arare, in
the canton of Geneva. Jean Trottet, the
man in question. was born in 1881 without
hands and without feet. His short arms
were pointed, and his legs, such as they
were, not being available for progression,
he was able to move only by twisting his
body from side 10 side. His case greatly in
terested the surgeons OF the neighb0rhood,
and local Barnums made the parents, we'll
TODD peasants. many tempting offers TO
turn their chld's misfortune to account by
exhibiting him about the country; but
these offers were invariably declined, and
when Jean was old enough he was sent to
school. In writing he held his pen at the
bend Of the elbow, and rs he grew older
he took great interest in husbandry, be-
came an active hay-maker, used the relns
with deXterity, and was so good shot
that he often carried off the first prize at
the village tirS. He enjoyed, too, some
reputation for sagacity; was consulted by
his neighbors on matters OF Importance;
and has left behind him widow and four
children amply provided for.

A Thrilling Ride by Moonlight.

From the Chico (Call Enterprise. october 10th.
On Sunday evening &. L. Tinkbam, the
superintendent OF the Sierra Lumber Com
pauy at Chico, came down the flume in a
box. The evening was fine. the air bracing,
and his anticipatlOns OF pleasure in his
moonlight ride were high. He had come
down the ilume before, so that the Pc
culiar sensation OF this mode OF tran
sit was not new TO him. He left
the mill, forty miles away, about O'Clock,
and entered the gorge OF the canon about
I. Below all was Egyptian darkness. but
high overhead streak OF light could be
seen, and occasionally an open space would
be passed through which the moon would
shed Il peculiar light across the rushing
waters IN the flume. II was at one of
these openings that Mr.. Tinkham's nerves
were solely strained rs he looked ahead
and saw what appeared to be jam or
break in the flume. The water ap-
peared to be rushing over the flume
with great force, and the predicament
was perilous. To Jump out was to 20
down into the canon's depths; to remain
was perhaps TO be dashed to pieces. On
he came, nearer and nearer. He deter
mined TO risk the jam or break, whichever
1t was, with his nerves braced for the
shock. But As he reached the spot, TO his
great relief, the scene changed, and what

A BuddilistLoe

As specimen OF the grotesque absurdi-
ties in which adulterated Buddhism has
INDUCED may be taken the story of the
ascetic named-from the popularity OF his
origin-Gazelle Horn. This self-denying
hermit was walking along one day,
with jug in his hand, when a
local divinity allowed torrent OF
rain to descend upon him. Ascetics,
we are told, " are very quickly moved to
wrath" so Gazelle Horn cursed that deity
and ordered him not to rain any more for
twelve years. The consequence Of the
drought was a famine. The King OF the
country sent for his OWNERS, who told
him what had happened, and added
that unless the ascetic could be dis
turDed in his penances no rain could be
expected. Being brought to the palace, the
ascetic fell In love with one OF the Kings
daughters, who did her best to please
nun, and her father gave her TO him in mar
rage. Thereupon, his penances having
come TO an untimely end, his magic power
vanished. Straightway "the deity reioic-
ing In rain called the clouds together from
every side, and sent down copious show
ers, the consequence Of which was an
abundant harvest" For some time the ex-
ascetlc lived peaceably with his royal
spouse, but after time her good humor
became deteriorated by jealousy, and Zone

The Moons Heat.
PROFESSOR LANGLEY SAYS MORE THAN AKcIi'
COI.pNEss RESTS UPON OUR SATELLITE
fPitfsbursh Dispatch.I

Pittsburgh Dispatch.l
For months past Professor $. i. Lang
lev. of the Allegheny Observatory, mas
been experimenting upon moon heat. Yes
rerday afternoon n reporter OF this paper
visited the observatory and interviewed
the gentleman upon the subject OF his ex-
periments, and in response Professor Lang
ley said:
"Numerous experimenters have tired
and failed TO detect any heat whatever III
the moons rays. Some years ago Lord
Rose, using the great rejecting telescope
at ParsonstowD, Ireland. was able to ma
some feeble evidence OF heat. He also
found that this heat did not pass through
glass a. well AZ the suns heat, from when
he concluded that the surface OF the moon
was really about the temperature OF boiling
water.
"When we 90 up on a high mountain
where the air is rare we do not find II get
ting hotter, but colder and colder the far
cher we 20 up. II seems absurd to sup
pose that il we went up still higher till we
ret where there Is no more air than on the
surface OF the moon we should find 1t hot
ter. rs Lord Roses observations seem to
say it would. Observations made by the
Allegheny party on Mount Whitney,
Southern California, in 1881. indicate
among other things that II the earth had
no more atmosphere than the moon our
own temperature would fall to many hum
dred degrees below zero, even with the
sun shining full on us. The discrepancy
between the results obtained by Lord
Rosse and those obtained on Mount Whit
ney make us wish to see which was right.
mi nHaorvafnrx tlprpfnrp
undertook TO directly measure the moons
heat, (Which had only been done before by
means Of Lord Roses great refector) TO
make up for the absence OF this the oDser-
yatory possesses an instrument OF extreme
deicacy in heat measurements, when Lord
Rose did not have, and which is called the
6OiOmeter-ndicates change OF tempera-
ture Of less than one tifty-thousandth de-
gree Fahrenheit. With this instrument
the heat i'm the moons rays was measured
i'm the focus OF small mirror OF ten
inches in diameter made by Mr.. BrasLear,
of Pittsburgh. Owing TO the delcacy OF the
bolometer the heat in the lunar image was
found to be most readily measurable.
Measurements were at the same time made
on the moons light as compared with the
suns. These measures are still going on.
One general result can already be stated.
The moons heat passes through glass with
more difficulty than the suns, 1t Is true,
but there is lot the slightest evidence
for the conclusion which Lord Rose
drew from this fact. I'm other words
there Is not the slightest evidence
that the surface OF the moon has any
measurable temperature whatever. The
only sensible heat we get from 1t is from
the suns heat which it reflects to us, much
rs a mirror would. our conclusion Is,
from all we can discover, that the surface
of the moon is so cold that mercury
would freeze there, conclusion which
has already been announced on other
grounds by the distinguished engineer Mr..
John Ericsson, OF New York"

Count de Ia Lippe luxembourg, one OF
the bravest and ablest officers OF his day
Q12O-177D amused himself with military
manguyres and experiments in his own
territories in Germany. one day he invited
his little court and visitors to dine with
him after review. The dinner was served
in a tent on the ground, and toward the
latter end Of the repast the Count was OBJ
served TO look several times at his watch
and put it up again and call for another
bottle. At last some one asked the reason
OF this. "Why," said he, - have order
ed this tent TO be mined by new method.

and am anxious to get out and see the
explosion" The tent, ii will readily be
believed, was soon cleared, without wait

=. Toadsiones ami Their virtue"

An ointment Of toads' lat was supposed
to give immense muscular strength, ii APP
piled TO the body at the moment Of con-
junction OF certain favorable planets. \
cubic inch OF dried toad worn round the
neck on string was an infallible
antidOte against many diseases Of the
body and mind. and a powdered toad
swallowed in spOOnfuls formed Il love
philter irresistible by the most obdu-
rate swain, perhaps because the nature Of
the medicine was such as 10 compel him TO
throw up his previous engagements. The
common or garden toad OF the present day
must, indeed. admit with sorrow that yir-
tue has gone out OF him. Batrachan pow

ist very i'll; and ordinary tOads Shriyel up
TO such an extent that the happy effects
OF solid cubic inch OF dried toad are I'M
attainable. Even the priceless Jewel that
each toad used to carry in bis head, in or
der, out Of pure toadiSh spite, to prevent
human beings from finding him, Is not
easily discovered nowadays. Nature is
more nlggardly OF diamonds than she used
to be, and the supply OF precious stones for
the tOads' heads has therefore run short.
In Sir Thomas Brownies days they were
abundant enough. being - often to be met

cided opinion that tOad'S head was partly

the vinegar aspect OF that toad for his
