 REDWOOD CTTY, Cal, 2l-Soms time last night the Southern Pacific passen- ger depot was broken into. Several coats and other articles of wearing ap- parel and parlOr rifle were taken. Some trunks m the baggage room were forced open and the contents scattered about the room. The burglars were apparent ly DO. afraid of being disturbed. They found box of estables and enjoyed the feast in the waiting room. Their en- trance was effected by boring a hole through a slide in the ticket window and springing the catch. There were no signs of the safe or ticket box being tempered with. The depot had been robbed twice before and neither tIme any great haul was made.

ACoIony Of Women m Colorado.

A wOman's colony on a novel basis is to be located in Colorado, in the beauil- ful valley of the San Luis. Rich wo-
 men will build up the colony, and poor
 women will establish industries by
 which to support themselves. They
 will likely engage in bee-culture, sllk-
 culture, the raising of small fruits, the
 raising of domestic animals, the maDu- facture of preserves and jellies snd var ious other similar industries. When one of the projectors was asked the other day if men were to be excluded from the colony, she replied that was the queerest question ever put to her; sad | she didn't tbink barbed wire fences
 wodld have any effect IT keeping men | out of that colony, and s-e had mo idea | of keeping a dozen sturdy Amazons on the watch, as the fair ladies did in the | "PrIncess" It IS understood there will i be plenty of men on hand ID the imme-
 diate vicinity of the sunny San Luis
 about the time the famous colony IS
 started. This rather knocks the poetry out of the scheme, but its practical ad- vantages may thus be enhanced. Men will do nicely to i'll ID the background, and may sometimes be intrusted with
 the duties of under-stewsrds. As for figuring extensively there. sex is against
 them and they will be kept down.

line season.
Ladies toilets have so often been the
subject of remark and criticism ON the part
OF the male sex, that it appears only justifi-
able when gentlemen's dress is also criticised.
ne chance of doing so is at the present
time very favorable, and first we can begin
with the astonis hingly short overcoat, which,
strange to say, now rejoices as an object OF
special favor in the eve Of elegant young men.
These coats generally appear in light colors
and make an almost painful impression,
then comes the peculiar fashionable tall hat,
with its disproportionately wide crown, the
light CATERS and pointed shoes. Such an
appearance is scarcely calculated TO promote
respect for the lords of creation in the hearts
OF the weaker sex. Now we are on the
theme of gentlemen's attire another lates,
novelty In this quarter can be mentioned
which has its origin in Russia. The jeunesst
doree ON the Neva wear silver crayafs; thess
are exactly the same shape as the usua

Charcoal.
The method of polishing wood with char
coal. now much employed by French cabi-
net-makers. is thus described in a Paris
technical Journal: All the world now
knows Of those articles of furniture OF a
beautiful dead black color. with sharp.
clear-cut edges and smooth surface. the
wood Of which seems to have the density Of
ebony Viewing them side by side with
furniture rendered black by paint and var
nish, the difference is so sensible that the
considerable margin of price separating
the two kinds explains itself The opera-
tons are much longer and much more
minute in this mode of charcoal polish
ing, which respects every detail of carving
while paint and varnish would clog up the
holes and widen <he ridges. In the first
process they employ only car efully- selected
woods, of close and compact grain: they
cover them with coat of camphor dis
solved in water, and almost Immediately
afterward with another coat composed
chiefly of sulphate of iron and nutgall The
two compositions, in blending, penetrate
the wood and give it an indehble tinge. at
the same time rendering it impervious to
the attacks of insects. When these two
coats are sufficiently dry. they rub
the surface of the wood at first with
very naTu pFush VI cOucn grass tchlen-
dent. and then with charcoal of sub
stances as light and friable as possible; be
cause if a single hard grain remained IL tks
charcoal, this alone would scratch the sar-
face, which they wish, on the contrary, to
render perfectly smooth. The fiat parts are
rubbed with natural stick charcoal; the in
dented portions and crevices with charcoal
powder Alternately with the charcoal the
workman also rubs his piece of furniture
with flannel soaked in linseed oil and essence
of turpentine. These pouncings, repeated
several times, cause the charcoal powder and
the oil torene.rate into the wood. giving the
article of furniture a beautiful color, and
also perfect polish. which has none of the
flaws of ordinary Yarnish

Wire Fences Struck by Lightning.


We learn that there have been MANY case,
OF stock being killed lately by electricity in
pastui es by the lightning striking wire
fences Electricity runs along fences some
times 100 rods, and where cattle OF horses
are standing near the fence they are killed
We learn from an officer of an insurance
company that not long since six head Of
cattle were killed, which, from the position
in which they were found lying, none OF
them could have been nearer than ten feet
from the fence, and some fifteen feet
From the fact that the fence posts Cd
posite the cattle and for forty rods on
either side were split and shattered
showed they were killed by heavy dis
charge of electricity. We do not know
anything about the operations of this subtle
fluid
There are, however, various cases on record
where stock has been killed by electricity
running along the fence when they were
standing several feet distant There is
abundant opportunity for the electricity to
descend to the ground on every post. but
owing to the better conducting power OF
the wire, it continues along the fence Why
1t should leap from the fence to stock ten or
fifteen feet away, will take scientist to ex.
plain. But the fact is beyond dispute. II
the stock stood along the fence, which S
often the case, it is almost certainly fatal.
A way might be easily and cheaply fixed
for the electricity to descend to the earth by
wire running down the side of the posts
deep into the damp earth, and in this way
secure the safety of stock. Wire is going to
be used for fences, and devices should be in
vented for making fence more safe for
stock. If cattle were in close lot or corral.
with wire fence, and il were struck all of
the stock would stand chance of being
killed few dollars spent in aids to con-
duct the electricity to the earth would be
cheaper than paying Insurance premiums to
insure stock With such an instrument as
lightning rod peddlers carry with them to
make holes to put down their rods, the COM
mon fence wire could easily be put down
ten feet, which would be good conductor.
