The detective, surrounded as he Is BY
an atmosphere of romance and mystery,
has been q favorite character in fiction.
The continual use of the character has
made necessary SO high a coloring and
so sensational a description, that the
general public has grown skeptical and
is inclined to regard him as a creature
OF the novelist's brain. And yet it is an
unquestionable fact that the mysterious
man of many DISCUSSES, trained in sa-
gacity and keen of wit, is an important
factor in our every day life; and it is
equally true that no city is better sup
piled with detective forces han u
own. besides the corps of police de-
tectives in this CITY," said the head of a
large agency to a Tribune reporter,
land the three or four agencies which
have men always on duty, there are
upward of a hundred men who do pri-
vate detective work independent of any
agency-watching in stores for shop
lfters. shadowing suspicious characters
on the streets, or occasionally volun-
teering detective work in case of a great
crime. 1t is from these self-trained de-
t~ectives that the agencies draw their
supply. Our force, for instance.
varies in numbers from twenty to forty
five men. according to the season.
Winter, when the rich families are all
in the city. is our busiest time, while in
summer we do little except occasional
jobs, or work at summer resorts. Bush
ness comes to lis from all over the
world, and is of almost every conceiva-
bic character. There is only one branch
Of work that we will not touch and that
all respectable agencies avoid-namely,
securing evidence for divorces. This
work is generally regarded as crooked
and agencies that undertake it have to
make it their only specially. We do a
great deal of investigation of wills, as
TO the condition and circumstances of
the testator. Men are also detailed to
follow suspected characters. The very
best people in this city engage our SER
vices to inquire into the actions and
habits of members of their own family.
Then we send out men occasionally on
the chance of securing a reward. At
least half our work is in the criminal
line, but almost entirely outside of the
city. on account of the excellent detective
police force of New York. Out-of-town
burglaries supply a good proportion of
the work. We send men to the place
in various DISCUSSES; they mix with the
common people. follow up suspicious
characters and keep an eve on all
places where the robbers would be apt
to conceal or dispose of their booty.
There may be in M small town half a
dozen detectives. and not an inhabitant
suspect their businessmen even the
parties by whom they were engaged

Eating Camei's Blood.

The animal was led out some distance
from the tents and made to kneel. 4
rope of camel's hide was fastened TO its
jaws and its head was dragged around
towards its tail until the two almost
met. The butcher then opened a vein
in the animals neck from which the
blood spouted in a large wooden bowl
which had been brought to hold it.
While the blood was running n of the
Arabs kept stirring it TO prevent it from
coagulating. After the blood had been
dried the bowl was carried over to a
fire which had been built and heated
stones were put into it until the blood
was thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile
the butcher proceeded to u up the
camel. The intestineS Were taken out
and cleaned and put into smother bowl
for cooking: the animals skin vas taken
off and then the flesh was Stripped off
the bones. cut into pieces and laid u
to dry. The bones of the animal were
distributed among the Young boys of
the tribe. who cracked them between
stones or with bent axes, and sucked the
marrow from them. The blood, which
after being cooked was something like
jelly, was cut into..parts and shared among
us captives. We found it quite,palatable.
The intestines and a portion of the
meat the Arabs disposed of that evening,
and the remainder of the meat we were
informed was to be kept for the use of
the slaves on the journey.-COr. Boston

Sheep.

Sheep adapt themselves to q wider
range of latitude than any domesticated
animal except the dog, says the Journal
of Agriculture. For more than thous-
and years they have been raised with
profit in Iceland, where the climate is
so cold that few cultivated crops can be
produced. They are also raised with
profit in all the countries of Europe and
Asia that border on the North sea.
Sheep raising has lately been underta-
ken in Patagonia with excellent prom
ise of success. South Africa and all the
islands in the Indian ocean are found to
be we'll adapted to the raising of sheep.
Spain and Asiatic Turkey have long
produced most excellent wool, although
the climate of these countries is very
warm. Sheep do we'll in every state
and territory in this country, and are
better adapted to poor land than any
other domesticated animal except the
goat They utilize the feed that grows
on hills and mountains that are too
steep for horses and cattle to climb.
They will eat more kinds of forage than
any animal except goats. There is
economy in keeping a few sheep in pas
lures that are chiefly devoted to other
animals, for the reason that the former
will eat many kinds of weeds and grass
es that the latter will leave.

Prof. Newbury EnthusIastlc Over His
Trip to the Great Falls.At the Coal
Fields and Belt Mines.
[Herald.l


Prof. j. S. Newbury, of the Columbia
School of Mines, New York, aud con-
nected with the U. :. geological survey,
arrived i'll the city last evening from Il
trip through the northern part OF Mon
tana. His special object was to make
all examination OF the coal fields near
the falls OF the Missouri and the mining
districts OF the Belt range. He speaks
in the highest terms OF the beauty, feI-
tility and mineral resources OF the
country about the Falls, and afterspend-
ing many years exploring Western
America i'll which lie has traversed by
different routes all the states and terri
tories west OF the Mississippi, he says he
has seen no country which, in granduer,
variety Of surface and agricultural and
mineral resources, surpasses Montana,
and particularly that portion he has
recently visited. The fails Of the Mis-
souri, surpasses his expectations In
beauty, and economically are still more
attractive, for they furnish an amount
of accessible and conviently distributed
water power greater than can be found
in any other part OF the continent, and
perhaps the world.
The adjacent coal fields are extensive,
the coal Of good quality, some of it MAX
ing good coke, the beds regular and
very convenient for mining, and from
five to eighteen feet ia thickness.
When opened up and reached by rail-
roads this and the coal field lying
further north on Milk river cannot fail
to contribute vastly to the prosperity Of
the splendid agricultural and generally
timberless country which surrounds
them.
On his return Prof. Newbury passed
through the Little Belt. mountains,
visiting the mining districts of Barker,
Neihart, etc., Of which he speaks we'll.
He was specially impressed with the
beauty of the valleys of Deep creek
(Smith river and its branches, the
country about White Sulphur Springs
and along the new road to Townsend, as
we'll as of the Prickly Pear canyon and
Bird-Tail divide, on this side of the
Missouri
Prof. Newbury has been through
Western Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington, and will, after brief visit
to Wickes, Red Mountain and mineral
districts in this vicinity, return to New
York to resume his lectures in the School

Washington N ews.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-The
term of G. E. Coon as acting secretary of
the treasury, under special designation
by the president, expired at the close Of
business to-day. All business which by
law must be transacted by the secretary,
will therefore have to be held in abey-
ance until an appointment is made to
fill the vacancy.
The Star says the latest rumor in re-
gard to the treasury vacancy is that the
postmaster general will probably be ap-
pointed for few days, until the presi-
dent can communicate with the gentle
man whom he wishes to accept the
place. :,
