HORSE AND BUFFALO.
struuRe Cross Between Two Genera Taken
East for Exhibition.

strnuRe Cross Between Two Genera Taken
East for Exhibition.
A company OF cowboys from Wyoming,
bound for New York, came in on the Balti-
more and Ohio road from Cincinnati yester-
day morning. There are 35 men and two la
dies in the party. They have with them Gu
rious freak of nature in the shape of an ami
NAL half buffalo and half horse. There is
well-developed lump on its back, upon the
forward part of the body, corresponding ex-
actly to that of buffalo. The head is that
of an ordinary horse, but the beast has pc
culiar habit of lowering its head when de-
tending itself, after the fashion of buffalo.
The animal was born in Wyoming Terri
tory, at the foot hills of Snow Mountains.
When captured it had peculiar hoofs, which
were long and have to be continually
clipped. It is somewhat stunted in appear
ance. The owners, "Broncho Jack" and
"California Hank, )" say that it is likely
cross between horse and a buffalo. Sim
liar cases, they say, have been known be-
fore, but they did not survive long after
birth. The party left on the o'clock train
last night for New York.

WILL ERECT A CHURCH.


The Italian COuEregnfIon Has Purchased
Property for the Purpose on Webster Av.

Perpetuafe the Language.
Papers were filed in the Court House yes
terday recording the sale of two lots sit.
uated at the corner of Webster avenue and
Tunnel street, belonging to Charles Malone,
to committee composed Of the following
gentlemen: P. Debe, Chairman; A. s. De-
martina, P. Bucigalupo, F. Bonestalli, G.
Mariani and G. Muzio, representing the
italian Catholic congregation, at present
holding religious services in the basement
of st. Paul's Cathedral. Twelve thousand
dollars was the price paid for the property,
on which the congregation intend to erect a
church, to cost in the neighborhood of $1O,-
900 or $4,000. When it will be started
has not yet been determined, as the plans
are not yet completed.
P. Debe, of John Debe & Co., the Chair
man of the committee, was seen yesterday
and he said that it was the intention of the
congregation to build as fine church Of
tine size as there is in town to-day. "The
Italians of the city need church, +" said
Mr.. Debe, "as there is fully 5000 or 10, 900
OF them residing in this city now. and not
one single church which they can call their
own. We intend to fit it up in excellent
style and devote the basement to q school in
which it is proposed to educate the children
of the parishioners in both Italian and En-
gIish.
''It is of very little use to send our chill
dren to the English schools, as their ignor-
anoa of that lanpnape makes IL verv difficnlk
for them to learn, beside we want to preserve,
if possible, the language of our own people.
Our congregation at present numbers be-
tween 300 and 400 individuals, which is con-
tinually increasing, and we expect by the
time we begin to erect the church to number
at least 800. What we will call it, or
whether the present pastor. Father Giucomo
Annovazzi will be retained or not, I cannot
saw"

The danger Of using hangings or wall
paper which contain arsenic was very
forcibly illustrated in Berlin not long
since by the famous chemist and expert,
DR.. Paul Jeserich. the head of the re-
nowned Sunshine laboratory.
A woman and her little child were
taken suddenly and dangerously ill with
out any apparent cause and the family
physician was summoned az haz:s. At
ter a careful examination he decided
that his patients had all the symptoms
Of Rrsenical poisoning. He did every
thing in his power to help them, and
finally they were removed into another
room to VET il any change would prove
beneficial, and they very soon recovered.
Upon going back to their former sleep
ing place they were again Frustrated and
once more removed.
DIR. Jeserich was summoned, and he at
once attacked the wall paper. He found
that the walls carried three layers of
paper, having beer repapered twice. A
most careful examination revealed no
trace of arsenic whatever in the two
outer papers, but the inner or original
covering contained an enormous guam
tity Of the poison. To a surface of twelve
square meters. which is about the area
covered by wall paper in a room of mod
crate size, the paper contained twenty
grammes of arsenic acid.-Philadelphia

The Gunlach optical works of this city
have just completed an y piece for the
great Lick telescope. The eye piece is
constructed on a perfected theory and is
a great deal larger than any before made.
Eye pieces Of the same pattern are in
use in many of the ~observatories in the
country and everywhere excellent results
are obtained. The Gunlach glass uses all
the light gathered by the large field lens
and at the same time overs the area of
the larger glass of the telescope. There
are we lenses in this eye piece. They are
six inches apart. The larger one is called
the field lens and is six and one-half
inches in diameter.
The other lens is the eyeglass o
1t is three inches in diameter and is com.
posed OF three lenses, a double concave
double CONVEX and meniscus cemented
togetF IT. The field lens is of crown glass.
The concave and convex lenses are also
Of crown glass. The meniscus, or cor
recting lens, is Of flint glass. No other
eye piece of anything like equal dimen-
sions has ever been made. The largest
now in use is not over two inches in d.
ameter, and that is far above the average
size. The hight from heavenly bodies
seen through the Lick telescope and this
eye piece will be 10000 times as bright
as that seen with the naked eyc.-Roches-
ter Democrat.
