There We're GIanl. In Those Days.

Joseph Swcshengcr, who resides near Stan

a wonderful discovery he recently made in
an uDfrcqucHted mountain near his residence,
The discovery consists oil n petfifcd man, with
all his limbs in "A perfect state of prescrVat on.
The body stands by massi yc holder, Of which
il seems TO have become part, and cannot be
removed without considerable labor aud ex-

spring above, falls directly upon the head Of the
body, and, after passing over il, loses itself In
the surrounding rock. The body measures six
feet aud nine inches from the crown of the
head TO the EOlcs of the feet and is well pro-

Russian Military Discipline.
/ Tcras Sgiags !

A German was Boosting in the presence Of
some Russians about the obedience and disci-
pline Of the German army, citing numerous in
stances from tho war between France aud Ger
many.
" Gentlemen" replied one of the Russians,
what you say about the discipline in the Ger
man army amounts to nothing at all when COM
pared with what occurs continually in tho
Russian army. But | will merely rccite one
instance of what occurred at the beginning of
the reign of the Car Nicholas, when the dis
cplinc IN the Russian army WAS comparatively
lax, At that time, before the telegraph was
discovered, the Russians used signal stations,
which were few miles apart The soldier
made a signal, which was repeated by the sol
der nj the next station, and thus the news was
conveyed thousands Of miles.
Ono day soldier at station near st. Peters
burg. did not see the signal in time and, dread
ing the punishment that awaited him for neg
ligcnce, deliberately hanged himself on the
signal tower. The soldier ut the next station
mistook this for a signal. so lac deliberately but
promptly hanged himself also. In consequence
OF the discipline which prevails in the Russian
army, next day it was discovered that all the
soldicrs at the signal towers from St Peters
burg to Warsaw had hanged themselves on
their signal towers. OF course, a much strictcT
discipline prevails at present, and -'

the Winter pelage, and owing TO the abundant
supply of nutritious grass the animal is in perfect
condition. At this period there is an aggroga-
ton of the countless groups dispersed over q
whole region into one immense herd, which
then becomes a seething mass of activity and
excitement, s the bulls half the time
chasing the cows and fighting each other dur
ing the other half" The severity of these en-
gagemcnts, however, has been much eXag
gerated, while, on the other hand, the mating
habits of bison have been misunderstood.
Under no circumstances was there ever such
n thing rs the pairing or mating of male and
female butialoes for any length of time" In the
entire process of reproduction the bison habits
were similar to those of domestic cattle.
" When the great herd broke up" the leader

ity, grazing on the bunch grass of the bot
tom during the cooler hours and lying down
toward noon with their heads to windward
Here also they commonly made the wcll-known
buffalo wallows" The animal, and especially
the male, delights in rolling, both ia dry earth
and mud. and, notwithstanding his sharp and
lofty hump, a buffalo bull can roll completely
over with rs much ease rs any horse" They
tore up the surface with their horns, and
stretching themselves one after another upon
the broken ground, worked their bodies round
until an excavation was made. If the soil
was moist, water soon filtered into the cav
ity from all sides, and finally Glcd it with n
deposit of mold, which the water held in
suspension. On this fertile spot a greener

POCKET LAMPS.

Electricity's Latest Addition to the Conn
forts of Travel
While riding in railroad car, trying to
read newspaper by the uncertain light of
the lamp which was suspended at tantal-
izing distance from my eyes, says Taverner
in the Boston Post, friend who sat next to
me said: "Taverner, old fellow, don't spoil
those critical optics of yours by using that
wretched apology for lamp. but suit your
self with this" He whipped little tube
out of his pc oket which he fastened to my
buttonhole, and before could see what he
was driving at a bright light illuminated
the newspaper, which had been blurred by
the devious rays from the railroad lamp.
"That's electricity" added my frien d
with seemingly superduous frankness, and
he then went on to show how the apparatus
worked. It had a storage battery for the
motive power and reflector to concentrate
the light, and the entire weight of the light
was only ~ pounds. found the electric
light somewhat glaring Mt first, the refec-
ton from the newspaper dazzling my eyes,
and the shadows cast q sort of dark-lantern
gloom to outlying objects. But this effect
soon wore of, and by adjusting the paper
to the light, it was easy for me to read
without experiencing any Inconvenience.
