On the summit of Nit. Hamilton in California will be found splendid observatory, which is only awaiting a great telescope to be ready for use. The observatory was brought into ex- istence by the will of an eccentric Cal ifornia millionaire named Lick. This heaven-obserVing institution would now be in practical observation were it not for the unfortunate failure of tho grass-makerS to produce a piece of crown glass of the size and perfection required for the objective of the teles- cope.

California is coming to the front as a petroleum producing State. It is now third in the list; Pennsylvania, of course, ranks first, then comes New York. West Virginia, Ohio and Ken lucky follow after California. In the Rocky Mountain regions, oil has been found in different places, in Wyom- ing, Colorado and New Mexico, but this area has not as yet been exploited at all thoroughly. The production of CaliforniaIs rapidly increasing, though she still consumes all her own oil pro- duct, and about 100000 gallons a year from the East in addition.

"Old Greenbacks, was the soubriquei
given to Secretary Chase in the army,
from the green ink with which the backs
of the United States paper money was
printed. This ink was invented by Stacy
J. Edison, and patented in 1857, as anti
Photographic. 1t could not be photo
graphed on account of its color, and
could not be dislodged by alkalies by the
counterfeiters to get a complete fac
simile of the bills. and as it was secret
known only by the American Bank Note
company and the inventor, it was i'm.
possible to counterfeit the ereenback
money. 1t was used by many banks be-
fore the war, but was never leading
feature in the bill; but even if the com.
position of the ink had been known, it
would have been of no use, as the work
could not be copied from the genuine
bills with any kind of ink. The date of
the patent could be seen on all the bills.
In small print. Old General Spinner
wanted to have Congress enact law
making the counterfeiting of national
notes a capital offence, as was once the
case in Great Britain, and to have them
bear the legend which had been on the
bills then issued by the Bank of Eng.
land: "To Counterfeit is Death. - Ben:

A Chilian Hero.

There have never been but two "hand.
to-hand" fights between iron-clads in
the history of naval warfare. One took
place in Hampton Roads, between the
Monitor and the Merrimac, as we all
know. The other was at Iquique, Peru,
between the Peruvian ram Huescar and
the Chilian iron clad Esmeralda. Ad-
miral Grau, Peruvian of German
ancestry, commanded the former, and
Arthur Pratt, Chilian of English
ancestry, the latter. The Huescar was
the swifter and more powerful vessel,
and struck the other amidships. AS she
was sinking Grau struck her again, and
as the two vessels came together, Pratt
sprang on board the Huescar, with two
revolvers, and killed seven or eight men
before he was shot down. His vessel,
the Esmeralda, with all on board, went
to the bottom of the ocean, and he lay
alone on the deck of the victor, sur
rounded by the bodies of the men he
killed. For this desperate act the
Chillanos have made him their idea
hero, and there is monument to his
memory in nearly every town. Streets
and shops, saloons, mines, opera houses
and even lotteries are named in hi
honor, and the greatest national tribute
is to destroy the custom house in ordeI
to erect his monument in the most con
spicuous place in the principal CITY,

Unharmed by ThrOnglng Sharks.

We find this paragraph in Trinidad
(West Indics) letter to the Pittsburg
Dispatch. When a whale is captured off
the Bocas, the blowing of horns heralds
its approach to one of the whaling sta
tions in the islands of the Bocas. We at
once determined to follow the whaling
boat, which we soon saw roundinga point,
rowed by eight vigorous wfalemen, and
towing huge, shapeless mass The cap
ture of a whale off the coast of Trinidad
is altogether different from an occurrence
of the same kind in Northern and Arctic
regions, owing to the swarming of
countless sharks about the defunct, mon.
ster and their ferocious attacks ON his
carcass. We followed in the wake of
the whaleboat and quite close to the
whale. Already the sharks, with an in
stinct rivaling that of carrion birds, were
gathering round their prey and increas,
ing in numbers every moment We
reached Monos, another island in the
Bocas, and there at the whaling station,
situated at flat point on shallow water,
the lifeless whale was hauled in close to
the shore. Now began the work of cut
ting up the whale, and carrying the
blubber masses to the cauldrons. At
this stage the sharks actually grew fran
tic, and would jump out of the water to
seize on some piece of blubber they
thought within reach These otherwise
dangerous fishes are, on an occasion of
this kind, perfectly harmless to man,
and this is we'll known to the whalemen.
One of them having dropped his knife in
the water, dived to recover it in the shall
low water, and was left unmolested by
the swarming monsters, whom he almost
touched at every moment. Numbers OF
sharks are also harpooned with the great
est facility on these occasions, and the
oil which is obtained from their livers,
is said to be superior to cod liver oil in
therapeutic properties.

A Story About Ferdinand Ward.

George p. Lathrop tells in the st. Louis
Post Dispatch the following story about
Ward, the notorious New York finanCer,
now an inmate of Ludlow street Jail ir
that city:
A wealthy resident of some prosperous
New England city called on Ward one
day with note of introduction from
mutual friend. In the course of conver.
sation he remarked that he had some
money to invest, and asked Ward if he
couldn't tell him of some chance to put
it where it would bring a good margin
of profit.
Ward said that he didn't know of any.
thing just then He himself had more
money than he knew what to do with,
and beside, he was too busy with some
big scheme of his own to go into any
outside speculation. Of course, this only
whetted the New England mans appe
tite for investment, and in the course of
half an hour he induced the famous finan
cier to accept his check for $58, 900, to
be used in one of the "blind pools" of
which Grant e Ward made speciality.
| Three or four months later the
New England man appeared again.
BY that time Ward had entirely for
gotten him and his check and it was with
great difficulty that he could recall his
name and the amount of his Investment.
81 believe there's something due youT
he said, after brief converation. TAX
ing down large ledger he made some
brief calculations, and then observed
with pleasant smile: "The amount
credited to you on our books is $102,
1884," Then to the bookkeeper: "Mr.
Jones, will you kindly draw check to
Mr.. Perkins order for $l02, 754"
Ward calmly turned to his work again,
while his visitor sat gasping for breath.
In the language of the day the visitor
was "paralyzed." 1t was some time be-
fore he could control himself sufficiently
to ask if there wasn't any chance for him
to reinvest his money and double it
again; but Ward didn't seem anxious,
and at last the stranger took his depar-
ture, got his check certified at the Marine
bank, and returned to lis native town.
Three days after ne walked into Ward s
Office in company with four of the
wealthiest of his townsmen. He had his
certified check-the same one Ward had
given HMM his pocket, and his friends
were supplied with checks of their own.
They succeeded in inducing the tinan-
cier to accept about $3.50, 900 for in
vestment in another ''blind pool" That
was exactly one week before the failure
of Grant & Ward.

A Man Drawn About by Two Sheep.

Almost every one who has ridden out
toward the Bois, saysa Paris letter to the
New Orleans Picagune, has seen the old
man in the little carriage drawn by sheep
pattering along in the Avenue de Bois
de Boulogne. These sheep are two as
fine fat SouLhdowns as you ever saw, but
the occupant is a cripple by the name of
De Keroy. He has been in turn soldier,
traveller, politician, journalist, and
q man of letters. A nephew of the Able
Lammenais, he was for a while private
secretary to Lamartine, also an intimate
friend of the marquis of Hereford. at
whose place in the Bois he frequently
met Louis Napoleon During the war
he volunteered to carry important dis
patches out of Paris for the government
of the Defense Rationale. He started
alone in balloon, which was caught in
hurricane, carried into Switzerland,
and came down in the midst of the Mer
de Glace Glacier, where his legs were so
badly frost bitten that they both had to
be amputated Beside his legs he lost
his fortune by the war, and it is his pow
erty that compels him to make use of
sheep instead of pony cart. Before
the sheep were presented to him by
friend he used to go about in a little
wagon propelled by machine worked
by hand. Babylas and Babette, as they
are called, now draw their master as
swiftly as pony could. The ''Solitaire
de Parly," as NJ de Keroy calls himself,
and Victor Hugo were fast friends; the
latter often walking alongside the
"mutton COACH" talking with its occu-
pant and caressing the sheep.
