The Celebrated French Chateau
that Adelina Patti Is Reported to
Have Bought.
The London Standard, speaking of the
chateau Of Chcnonccaux, which is reported
TO have become the property Of Adelina
Patti, says:
The inhabitants Of every land are apt 10
think their own chateau and historic monu-
ments the finest in the world, but if the
question could be submitted to international
suffrage Ckenonccaux would win very
high place indeed. Engravings and photo
graphs of il are more common probably than
those of any dwelling house in Europe not
actually royal, and they dwell in the memory
This is owing to TIE unique plan and site of
the structure. Beyond any doubt Chcnon-
ceaux is a beautiful and above all striking
cdiflce. But it belongs TO that order of fine
things which look hest in a picture, especial

chateau then became rendezvous of wits,

the great names of France in this category
are associated with it, and not few English,

Rousseau was tutor to the young Dupin and
wrote plays, verses, and music for the en-

Emperor Williams Health.

The German papers are full of articles
regarding the health of the German En-
peror DR.. Helmet, the specialist on diseases
Of the ear, declares that the cmperor's or
gans of hearing are affected by chronic pur-
ulent otits with intermittent pains, He
states that the affection may lead to menin-
gifts, should the aural inflammation spread
to the cerebral tissues, or to the formation
of an absccss on the brain. Should an alb
scess form, it may be necessary TO resort to
trepanning and il the inflammation re-
mains local an operation would probably be
successful. DIR. Helmet does not take the
same view as other German doctors, but
considers the Emperors case very serious,
though at present, had it assumed its worst
aspect, the truth could not be concealed
from the public. 1t is a curious coincidence
that, aprOpos OF the emperor's malady, no
fewer than twenty-five articles on otitis
have appeared in Germany. l hear from
trustworthy sources that the emperor is
looking i'll and is alarmed about himself
having insisted on being told the opinion OF
the German doctors regarding his condi-
tion.-London World.

Electrical Executions.

Although law has been duly enacted by
our legislators making death by electric
shock a substitute for death by hanging in
capital cases, it does not seem to be at all
sure thing that any criminals will be shock
cd to death under its provisions.
The law seems to be enacted upon INSULT
cient evidence as to tn feasibility of its ex-
ecution. Legislators generally know very
little about electricity and its effects, and
they seem TO have taken the word of the Medi
co-Lcgal Society ON the scientific aspects of
the matter, without consulting any practical
electricians. 1t is now found that men who
handle electric apparatus practically do not
care to recommend any method of killing
people by shock and there is likely to be
great difficulty in getting any electrician of
repute to take charge OF executions
There were some features in the electrical
execution law that were good, but these
features might be applied equally well to
hangings. There is no need Tor the presence
of crowd around the gallows. any more
than for CONGO lrSe of spectators around
the death chair. Further, as we urged at
the time this bill was pending in the legisla-
ture, IL is not the main object of the law to
make the death of the criminal as private
and pleasant an affair to him as possible.
There is sonnet hing about hanging about
the ignominy of it AMI the physical horror
OF it-that appallS criminals. They dread
it more than thew dread ANYTHING else
They will do anything to escape from it.
This fact is one of the best reasons in the
world for the use of hanging, as a method
of executing the laws sentence on criminals
condemned 10 death.
Now that so much practical difficulty has
arisen in the way OF carrying out the new
law, perhaps our legislators my find that
it is best, after all. to go back TO the old
way.-New York Mail and Express.

A Wierd Story of Old Colorow, Late

n Wlefu story OF Ola COIOrOW, Late
Leader of the White River In
dlanS.
"Of all the wicked wild Indians who for
fifty years have infested the border, old
Chief Colorow, who died the other day at
the White River Agency, was worst" said
Henry FItzsimmons, n post trader of the
White River, to an Examiner representative
at the Grand yesterday.

and got back TO find myself totally ruined.
You remember that the Utes killed n. G.
Meeker the agent then, who was trying TO
conduct the agency on humanitarian princi-
pies. He had been an associate OF Horace
Greeley on the New York Tribune and
thought that by kindness the Utcs could be
induced TO stay on the reservation and learn
farming.
They killed him without moments
warning, as well as about thirty attaches OF
the agency, and carried away Mrs Meaker,
and her daughter Rose into captivity. Their
captivity was worse than death. After tho
ladies We're rescued, and after Major
Thornburg and others of the United
States corps were killed. the Utas

where she soon after died.

FOSSIL REPTILE TRACKS.
Where There is to Be Found an In
eXhaustlblc SupplY.

The recent publication in the New Yorh
Times Of a resume of Dr. f. H. Barbour's
treatise on the first discovery in America Of
the bird-like footprints in stone at South
Hadley, Mass, has created interest at Yale
college in this interesting study. The col
lection of fossil footprints at Yale is said to
be the finest in the world. 1t is for the bird
tracks that the Portland Conn brown
stone quarries arc so wildly known. Those
quarries have been of the greatest assist
ance to biologists in establishing much that
is already known of the Gncient reptiles in
habitng the Connecticut river valley.
A delegation Of Yale students is to visit
the quarres this week. Prof. Rice Of
Middletown, Conn, who agrees with the
eminent geologist, Prof. j. d. Dana, tina;
the tracks are those OF reptiles and amphi
bia, says that the Connecticut river sand
stone was deposited in a long, narrow Cssu-
airy extending from New Haven nearly t.
the northern boundary Of Massachusetts.
Its geological age is triassie. The sand
stone lies in horizontal strata, and every
few feet there is q well-delincd horizontal
crack. On lifting a fat section of the
stone the tracks are found on the surface OF
the stone beneath, with corresponding pro-
iections of the upper stone fitting into them.
All writers agree that the ampnibians
were of large size. Some walked as bipeds
on feet that made tracks sixteen and twenty
inches long and almost as broad. with q
stride Of three feet, indicating u height of
fully twelve feet. Tracks of much smaller
fore feet are sometimes found. A hand
some trail OF twenty-five consecutive tracks
Of one of these bipcd amphibans was laid
open at Portland in 1874 It was that of the
dnosaur or terrible lizard, a true reptile,
which had its hind feet three toed like birds.
For many years they were regarded solely
as bird tracks.
The late Edward Hitchcock, father of
State Geologst Hitchcock of New Hamp-
shire and a famous writer on geological top
is was the first to assign to these fossil
tracks their true significance. His views
We're received with incredulity only few
years ago.
The Portland quarrymen find the tracks
frequently and keep the best. On3 of them
said yesterday: 1--WE can furnish bird
tracks for all the scientists in Christendom.
The supply under ground is inexhausnible,
but it takes time TO uncover it,"
