Watching tor Fire.

The Central Pacific snow sheds are
guarded from the fire by two watch
men, who occupy q house on the top
most height of Red Mountain, where
they can take in the whole line Of snow
sheds with their natural sight and by
the aid Of glasses. If they observe a
fire in or near the sheds they notify the
station at Cisco by a telephone line,
and forthwith the information is tel
egraphed to Sacramento, and in a
minute or two the order is sent up the
line to Blue Canon and the Summit,
where the fire trains are constantly on
duty, to proceed to the point where
the fire is prevailing. The fire train
consists of a locomotive, with two
tank cars filed with water which IS
thrown with hose by a steam force
pump. When the trains are sent out
they have the road, all other trains
neal the point of danger being stopped.
The services of these fire trains are
frequently called upon, but they are 50
prompt in action that they generally
subdue the fires before much damage
Is done.

Nate Lawrence las presented the
natural history bureau of the Jib-boom
club New London, Conn, with a Curl
Gus freak of nature. 1t is a branch of
a tree, presumably white birch, covered
with oysters varying from the size of a
cent to that of a dessert plate, and both
wood and oysters petrified through and
through. This specimen was found 20
feet below the surface of the ground,
and must be taken as conclusive evil
dence that neither Gid. Raymond nor
Mr.. Morgan, OF Poquonoc Bridge, have
any right to assert a priority claim as
inventors Of the process of grating
oysters on trees. 1t would be inter-
esting to these gentlemen and piscicul-
turists everywhere if the history of this
phenomenon could be written, and even
anthropologists might learn from it
that there was a cycle in prehistoric

Farmer Groesbeck, of Fishkill Plains, has had his little joke, and what is more, he has paid for it. He thought that it would be an intensely amusing thing to send for the village doctor in great haste, and when he arrived to introduce goose with broken wing as the patient. He carried out the programme to the letter. The doctor seemed pleased, too set the goose's wing, left minute instructions as to the care and diet of the fowl, and called every day for a fortnight, and sent in his bill accordingly. Farmer Groesbeck grumbled, protested, re- fused and--paid.

The Economy of the Human stomach

------S------
 After long and carefully-made di- gests of mathematical calculations and practical experiments, sclence has reached the conclusion that a stomach is cheaper to keep than gizzard. In proportion to their respective sizes and weight, birds appetite is some- where near twenty times as great as a mans. If an English sparrow eats at a single meal one of the largest snails produced by its native country, as he frequently does, a man with gizzard would require whole round of beef at one sitting. The robin redbreast, again, requires daily portion of food equal to fourteen lineal feet of fish worm to keep him in a normal condi- tion of health. Preserving the pro. portions, such gizzard appetite in a man would demand of the largest bologna sausage known to the German population, biurnal longitudinal mass equal to sixty-seven feet. Given, man at large gizzard, multiply the resulting consumptive power by the earth's population, and the result would be appalling. No man could earn sufficient to eat, and the products of all lands would be totally inade- quate to the market demand. It were better that in the economy of nature men continue to be supplied with stomachs, and that gizzards be relega- ted to the bipeds of the feathered species, except so far as the word "gizzard" may be used in the figura- tive sense to indicate the presence in man of that place where he carries his "grit."

ssW hat Mus I do 'IBout It 'S',


 There was ono colored member of the Florida Assembly who was the most ludicrously pompous specimen I have ever seen. He was short and very thick set, large, gross features, lips like the bumpers of a railroad car and had the measured walk of a mili- tia veteran. Withal he was so dense- ly black that the Attorney General, speaking of him once, said he believed "the cuss would sweat ink" This fell low was profoundly impressed with the belief that he was a natural born statesman and political economist, and used to talk very disparagingly of Congressman w. D. Kelley, of Penn sylvania, considering him, he said, a very much over-rated man. He had sn Overweening ambition to be chair man of something or other, and be- came such nuisance with his impor- tunity that to get rid of him he was at last made Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture. This at once grati- fled his vanity and his ambition, and he erected an extra spine in his back in honor of the occasion. But he was ignorant of the duties pertaining to his new and important position, so he went to white friend, in whom he had confidence, and asked his advice. Said he: Boss, Tse been 'pinted Cheerman of de Committee on Gull ture; what mus 1 do bout it?" Why" said his friend, who was a well-known practical joker, "you must offer resolution to the legislature. Culture means gentlemanly conduct and cleanly habits, and as chairman of this committee it is your place and duty to instruct the others in these highly important points"
 "Well, boss," said he, "you git me up one jest about right and I'll pre- sent it to the Assembly tomorrow" So the day following, when the legis- lature had duly come to order, our sable statesman rose solemnly to his feet, and fixing his eagle eye glaring- ly on the presiding officer, with "Mis- tar Speaker, has resolution as Cheerman of de Committee on Gull ture, to offer to dis honorable body of my friends and fellow citizens"
 Amid cxpectant silence the clerk, to whom the paper had been handed, read as follows:
 Resolved, That the practice of mem- bers of the Legislature only washing their feet once in three months, is a rank offense against good morals and standing menace to the purity of the elective franchise.
 Resolved, That the Chairman of the Committee on Culture be authorized to employ an inspector of feet, at a salary of $2 per diem, whose duty it shall be to see that the pedal extremi- ties of the members of the Legislature are kept in condition soothing to the peace and dignity of the State of Florida.
 After the laughter had subsided our dusky legislator was informed that there was no such committee as the Committee on Culture, but that the Committee on Agriculture was the one of which he was chairman, and it's du, ties were strictly confined to the farm ing interests of the State.-Correspon. dent Philadelphia Times.

A recent discovery on the head of the Cowlitz River establishes the fact that Washington Territory can now boast of the grandest waterfall in the known world, it's height being 1,5OO feet. The Nooksack Indians assert positively that water falls, higher than the tallest fir, pine or cedar tree are to be found on the extreme headwaters of the Noonsack River, in this county. As that section of the county has never yet been explored by white men, there is no good reason for doubting the statement. From the comparison given by the Indians these falls must be at least 475 feet in height, which would lay over the famous Suoqual- mic Falls, of Kings County, by at least 200 feet.
