ing Up Like Mushroom.

BUTTE, April 1.-The fable of the
monkey. weighing the cheese for a couple
of cats, bids fair TO find exemplification
in the division of the estate of the late
Judge Davis. Already claimants for the
money left by the dead millionaire have
sprung up without number and more
showing up. New York has a small con-
tingent, Chicago is trying to discover one
and now comes n small Iowa town which
claims the champion heir. This latest
claimant is in the person OF n young
man who asserts that his right To "A por-
ton, at least, of the estate is the right of a
son to his fathers property. In other
words, he says he Is "A son of Judge Davis.
and what is more, proposes to makc n
strong fight for a part OF the deceased
m~illionaire's effects. He is accompanied
by a couple of lawyers, who, il is said.
will at once institute legal proceedings Ia
establish the rights of their client. The
young man gives his name as jefferson
Davis and says he has ample evidence To
prove his claims. The matter of the gen
tleman's presence in the city is not gencr-
ally known, and an apparent effort is he
ing made to keep IL quiet. Several par
ties supposed To be i'm possession Of full
knowledge of the facts in the ease were
approached with a view of obtaining
further particulars. They declined To say
aught, excepting that a purportcd son oi
Judge Davis is in the city and would en-
dcavort TO establish his claims in court.

LIfa in Ocean AhYaaoh.

Dr. Regnard has raised the question as to whether corpse which sinks to g very great depth is preserved indefi- nitely or otherwise from putrefaction According to his researches, published in the archives of the Biological soci- ety of Paris, putrefaction does not take place in decomposable substances sub mitted to pressure of 600 to 700 at mospheres. These figures correspond to a depth of 6,O00 to 1000 meters at sea. From these experiments it must not be concluded, according to Dr. Regnard, that there Is total absence of putrefaction in the greater depths of the sea- The curious "abysmal" fishes discovered in the Challenger and other expeditions appear to rise after death, so that they are sometimes found on the surface, though, as a rule, they go to pieces, as the sur rounding pressure diminishes long be- fore they reach the air Still, there is no proof that bathybial or abysmal micro organisms do not exist; and, if so, they could cause decomposition ill the corpses of men as well as in the dead bodies of abysmal fishes The question is of considerable medico-legal and yet greater biological interest, and it is far from settled.-British Medical Journal.

New Oil spreader for Stormy Seas.

A difficulty experienced in the use of oil in storm at sea is that when spread on the surface the wind blows it to leeward and the effect is lost. This difficulty is now overcome by a new device, consisting of a mortar and bomb. The latter is a nearly globular shell of cast iron filled with oil. On the side toward the muzzle as it lies in the mortar is an aperture closed by hinged cover, fitting tightly and fastened with a sort of latch. The latch is so constructed that when the mortar is discharged the pressure of the air releases it. But the aperture in the shell is not opened until it strikes the water and sinks beneath the surface. The shell is so weighted that as it sinks the aperture is upper most and the cover is lifted by the pressure of oil upon it. Thus the oil is released well beneath the surface and rises through the waves, producing most effectual results.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

One Way to Cure A roothaohs.

Ever so many "toothache cures" have been suggested from the time toothaches were first invented. All of them have been probably more or less successful in banishing the pain. Here is an unique ''cure." however, that we have never before seen mentioned. It is offered by Dr. Lambert, of New York, who says he has tested it with good results:
 He took silver half-dollar and a cop- per two-cent piece. He then placed the copper piece on the outside skin over the place where the tooth ached, and the silver piece over and on the skin just in front of the middle of the ear, so that the silver just touched the front of the middle of the ear, and held both pieces with just pressure enough to keep them in their position. In three minutes the pain was gone and has never retnrned.-N. Y. Voice.

Curling the NIustache.

"How long has the custom of crimp- ing the muntache been in voguel" was asked of dapper little barber, who runs shop on Washington street.
 ''It was first introduced into the United States about four years ago." he replied, "but it was known in Flu rope half century back"
 "Does the crimping of the mustache injure its growth in any way2"
 Yes, very seriously. You see hu- man hair is naturally oily, which in- dicates healthy growth. If a single hair is placed under powerful micro scope, it will be found to resemble pipe stem, that is, little tube runs it's entire length. Through this channel flows current of oil. Now, if this is damned up, it has the same effect as binding the stalk of plant, the ripe sap is cut off and decay follows. Therefore, in ninty-nine cases out of one hundred, where the mustache is crimped, it finally begins to fall out, much to the grief of its owner. Where there is unusual vigor this result does not obtain, which accounts for the ex- captions named"
 Do all your customers have their mustaches curledi"
 "Oh, no; it's the middle aged and young fellows who carry the style. When a man begins to wrinkle up and his knee joints begin to rattle he cares very little for those finer points in his personal appearance.
 "Do the dandy police officers like to have a curl put into their whiskersl"
 Do tbeyl Well should think so. There are some very handsome men who wear the uniform of the city, and when they go on duty they look as neat as wax. A low, hanging mus tache would not harmonize with the ensemble of these stoical guardians of the peace. It is seldom one of them goes out on an ostensible hunt for crime with his mustache in the con- dition described. ."-Boston Globe.

OuS about burglars; now, ne acGually nau presentiment about them-they would visit him before dawn. Nevertheless, Dick examined all the doors and win dows, and then ascended to his sleeping chamber. He proceeded to undress him. self, standing before the mirror. In placing his tie in the drawer his finger touched the butt of his revolver. He took it out and looked it over. The chambers were empty and he filled them from box in the drawer. This done, he carefully weighed the weapon in his hand, and was sighting it when he hap pened to catch the eye of his double in the glass, and his features which had before been solemnly thoughtful relaxed into a smile.
 ''Pshaw!' he said, laughing aloud, '1 ean'tget it out of my head. Burglars! Here, go back to sleep. I might hurt myself"
 He commenced to extract the shells, then stopped.
 'If don't go to bed armed shall never go to sleep. If do take it, am afraid it will act like wedding cake and make me dream. Which is the worse?"
 He drew coin from his pocket, and naming ives" for the head, tossed it into the air.
 Heads up. I congratulate myself, and. come to think of it, that's what really wanted"
 He placed the pistol under his pillow, and then undressing hastily and arrang- ing the gas jet in satisfactory manner, he reached for a volume of Dickens from under his library in the corner and dove into bed.
 He was deep in "Dombey and Son" when the clock in the dining-room struck ten. He passed his hands oyer his eyes with yawn, and, tossing his book to the foot of the bed, reached up and with a twist extinguished the light.
 Ten minutes later he was as sound asleep as the policeman on the next corner.
 Eleven, twelve.
 As the last stroke of the last hour died away the lower sash in one of Dicks windows, which he had raised for hygienic reasons, was further lifted. A dead silence. Then the fit ting light of dark lantern was flashed over the scene. The sleeper stirred, but did not awake. The holder of the

lantern slid one leg inside, and, after pulling in the rest of his body, lowered himself to the floor.
 Another pause and then three light taps on the pane. Another form noiseIessly entered.
 Then the two house-breakers per formed two extraordinary actions. They laughed very heartily but silently, and shook hands. This ceremony over they moved toward the bed. One of the in truders grasped the sleeper roughly by the wrists while the latter calmly flashed the lanterns glare over his face.
 Dick had been dreaming of robbers, and woke to find his dream realized. He prepared for a struggle, but the sight of the gleaming barrel of re- volver of forty-four caliber held to his nose quieted him at once.
 Bind his wrists, Beggs," growled one soon securely tied.
 The speaker drew a match from his pocket and touched up the gas. Dick then raised his head and beheld two men of good build standing beside the bed. Both wore short masks which descended to the mouth. Both also wore heavy mustaches. Each carried revolver, and one bore sack, presuma- ply in which the plunder was to be de- posited.
 "Pile out, youngster," commanded he of the bag. "Yer don't think we called to see you particler, do yer?"
 Dick silently obeyed, and was soon in his clothes.
 'Now take us down to the kitchen and shake up something for us to eat"
 Dick thought it best to fall in with their commands, and watching closely
The Arizona champion., 1890-09-27

The newcomer pushed Dick on to the bed, and with a command for him to lie still, if he didn't wish to be interfered with, proceeded to open the bureau drawers.
 Scarcely was the mans back turned when Dick ran his hand under the pill low in search of his revolver.
 "Stop there! Up with your hands!''
 The sharp-eyed housebreaker had seen in the mirror the reflection of Dicks motions, and whirled upon him before he could complete the move ment.
 He was obliged to yield, and it was with the deepest chagrin that he saw his pearl-handled weapon transferred to the burglars pocket.
 He now lay quite still and surveyed the third of the nights intruders. This last one was quite genuine, although he did not come in the fashion of his pre- decessors. He was short, stout, dressed in a close-fitting suit of dark material, and carried revolver and bag. He wore no mask, but a black slouched hat, pulled down to meet his high coat collar partially concealed his feat ures.
 He failed to discover any thing of value in the bureau, and ordering Dick to get up, passed into another room. Here the burglar met with some sort of success, and knick-knacks of all sorts were hastily thrown in to the bag. Dick watched the proceeding with unavailing rage.
 Having finished with the second floor the housebreaker demanded to be led to the china closet. Dick complied, but all the time cudgeled his brains for an idea. There was a revolver on the kitchen table, but how to get at it? He carried the lamp in his hand, and the visitor followed him at arms length with his bag and firearms.
 As they reached the kitchen and pre- pared to pass into the dining-roon Dick vawned, turned down the wick of the lamp a trifle and held it out at arms length.
 "What's that for?" asked the burglar, stopping and listening, as though he feared it might be signal. He cooked his head on one side and cast a glance behind him. As he did so Dick slid his arm along the table beside him, and a triumphant grin told of his suc- cess.
 "Eh? Whats that for?" ejaculated the burglar, frowning angrily and com ing nearer as Dick drew away.
 "The lamp smoked" said Dick, thrusting the weapon into hls pocket

PLANT INTELLIGENCE.
Remarkable Evidence of Adaptabllity fl
 the Egyptian Lotus.

Remarkable Evidence of AdaptabIlity in
 the Egyptian Lotus.
 An illustration of apparent intelli- gence in plants is the behavior of the Egyptian lotus in this climate. In the warmer countries, where it is at home, the roots ot the lotus spread laterally close to the surface. In this country the plant learned after single years ex- perience of a New Jersey winter to pre- pare for this freezing season by aban- doning its surface lateral roots in early autumn and sending out crop of roots lower down-so far down that they were below the reach of frost In this way the plant kept up it's life continuously over winter, and when spring returned the deep-level roots were abandoned in their turn and the surface roots once more sent out.
 Then there are certain minute plants, some of them quite microscopic, which grow in wayside pools and which move continually in whirls and spirals with out any moving influence in the water. In a myriad form of this minute life the erudition of the profoundest men of sci ence is required to determine whether they are animal or vegetable in their nature. And then who knows whether the scientists are quite right? The moral of the whole matter is that life in the two forms is identical But what have you said when you have said that? Does the fact of the identity prove that there is spirit in mat ter, or that animal, human inteli- gence is merely phase of matter? You pay the money of your education and take your choice of the two horns of the dilemma. Transcript
