The Hiehest COLONY in Cal,sorn,..

Life at the Lick observatory, over four
thousand feet above the ocean level, on .
lofty summit, with. other mountain crests
only for neighbours, is an interesting study.
Here is, probably, the highest colony in
California. The astronomers and neces-
sary employees of the observatory form q
little world of their own, and few Of them
care often to 60 outside of it. The stage
that comes once day brings news from
the world outside and visitors curious to
see the wonders of the mountain. A con-
tract with San Jose expressman secures
All needed freight once month and some-
times oftener. A butcher with supplies
comes up the twenty eight miles of tortu-
GUS mountain road once week. Cows
and chickens are adjuncts of the commits
sary department. Quail, rabbits and deer
are plentiful in surrounding canons and
some of the sportsmen astronomers occa-
sionally bring them down. The summer
ar is soft and so rarifed as to exhilarate
ara make great e1ertion seem slight All
til astronomers came from cities, yet none
complain or sigh for attractions beyond
those revealed by the marvellous tele-
scopes,

THE WOOD BUFEALO.

These still remain some of the wood
buffalo. This is an animal larger than
the American bison of the plains. They
are larger, coarser-haired, and straighter-
horned. / mention this popularity of
difference in the horns because it is be-
lieved that the shape and the broken
and crooked nature OF the horns of the
prairie buffalo has been caused by his
habit Of digging into the gravel, whereas
III the more northern species they had
to contend with other conditions, where
straight horns would be OF more use, as,
Tor instance, they use them there for
clearing aside from their pathway the
brush and luxuriant undergroth. These
ANIMALS would weigh at least $50
pounds more than the buffalo of tle
SASKATCHEWAN plains.
In the northern regions the vetches
and grasses are SO high. and the snow
}all not being unduly heavy, they have
not had to paw and break the crusted
snow, as was the habit Of the buffalo,
and that may account for their superior
SIZE. In the country where these are
found horses can not be used in pursuit,
and they are stalked i'll the same man
her that the moose and the other large
ANIMALS are. It is difficult to form an
accurate estimate Of the number OF
'hese animals that may yet be left, but
perhaps investigation may show that
"oo or 600 may yet remain in scattered
bands Owing to the fact that the
horse cannot he used in pursuit, it is
more difficult for the Indians to hunt
mem, and, indeed, to find them, than it
WAS IN the old days OF hunting upon the
plains.
so rank is the underground Of this
rich country, and SO difficult is it for the
Indians to get at these animals, that
perhaps Just now any attempt on the
part OF the Government to afford pro-
lection to them would be useless. If.

- 10th Ludicrous and Grave.
gsEes Tray, Of Allentown, Pa, got ON
Swain at Mcveytown to 60 to Lewistown
Tne other day. The car was warm, and
Tray raised the window at which he was
sitting. Soon afterward he had to sneeze.
The concussion Of the sneeze hurled his
false teeth out of his mouth. They shot
through the open window and went bound
ing along on the ground. Tray had Just
got the set from the dentists. They cost
him $25. He got out at the next station,
hye miles from where the teeth had escaped
from him, and walked back to regain
them. He found them. Then he started
to walk the FIVE miles back to the station
to get the next train. AS he was crossing
the railroad bridge over the Big Run q
west-hound freight came along. He was
walking on that track and stepped over Oh
the beams of the east-bound track. As
he did SO he glanced back and saw freight
train from the west just coming on the
bridge toward him. There was no time
for him to get across the bridge before the
train would be upon him. and he did not
dare TO stand on the narrow space between
the tracks until the trains passed. Both
locomotives sounded their danger signals.
There was but one thing to do. Tray
seized bridge beam or tie with his hands,
md doping quickly down hung by his
fingers until the long train had passed
over him. Hc then dragged himself back
to the track.
The engineer of the train was bringing it
to stop. evidently to see what had be-
come of Tray. but when he reappeared, aud
the conductor saw he was all right. the
signal WAS given to so ahead, and the train
went on without taking Tray aboard. A
milefurther on another east bound freight
came along. Tray thought it was run
ming slow enough for him to get on the
caboose. When the rear of the train was
passing him he threw his overcoat on the
platform of the caboose and grabbed the
rall to swing himself OH. The train was
going faster than it looked. and Tray could
hot get footing. He had to let loose of
the rail, and he was thrown twenty feet
down the bank. The skin WAS scraped of
his face, hands, and legs. and one ankle
was dislocated. The train went on. taking
Trays overcoat, brand new $50 coat.
along with it.
In spite Of his injured ankle and mutiia-
ted face. hands and legs, Tray managed to
get over the remaining two miles of his
journey, reaching the station just as his
train came in. Without waiting to have
his injrlies attended to he boarded the
train. When the conductor came around
Tray remembered that the conductor of
the first train had taken up his ticket for
the entire journey. He could not induce
the second conductor to pass him either on
the strength of that Or of the story of his
many mishaps, and Tray had to pay his
fare over again. He is now in bed, won
dering whether it isn't more than likely
that the ceiling will fall on him.

and drifting it into great banks on the
east and north sides of the surrounding
mountains, where, in sheltered places,
Il would still be found for into July.
On this night, of course, the only
thing talked of was wild horses, says a
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe:
Democrat. Rynairson told us of the
run be and Pite Stoner and .Carnody
had given them in January, 1866, when
they ran them, by taking three stations"
for over 1GO miles, ana got them in the
pasture just at dark. Carmody having
headed and turned them only after they
had run them 80 miles, brought them
back and they picked them up" and
succeeded in getting them into the pas
ture.
The next morning they took fresh
horses and corralled and caught four Of
the twelve. The others jumped the
corral and got away. Out of these four
they only saved one, 3-year-old
stud that is now down on Sweetwater.
A 4-year-old baby FLY got away the
third day after the capture, and the
two, team of match iron-grays-one q
mare and the other stud-came to a
strange and one might say romantic
end. It was noticed by those who had
seen the band running wild that these
two non-grays always remained to-
gether, and, as the boys put it, were
mashed" on each other.
These two horses were tied up separ-
ately and fed hay and had water carried
to them, but they refused to eat Or
drink and kept calling and answering
each other. Yet when they were put
together they appeared contented and
ate and drank freely. After few days
the boys decided to break them, and
named the stud Romeo" and the other
Juliet" from their attachment to each
other. 10 break horse, however, that

age of five OF six years has run wild and

no easy task. Romeo fought hard, and
in his struggles reared up, fell back,
and his head hitting the hard, frozen
ground, he was killed. That ended the
horse-breaking for that day. but all

to eat Or drink, and apparently could not
