Blown From the Track.

DENVER, Jan. 25.-A Denver Long
mont, Colo, special says: TIE Rio
Grande express which left Colorado
Springs at $50 this afternoon was blown
from the track at Monument depot, and
several persons injured. A porter OF the
train was badly scalded. The wind is
blowing a perfect hurricane and several
houses were unroofed.
The two coaches and sleeper which was
blown from the track Immediately took
fire and for a few minutes it looked as
though twenty passengers imprisoned
would be burned to death. The hurri
cane famed the flames like a furnace. but
by heroic effort the trainmeE succeeded in
e%xtinRuishing it before any person was
burned. Among the passengers injured
we're Assistant General Freight Agent
Zimmerman of the Rio Grande, none of
the others we're fatally hurt.
The windstorm seems to have been gen
eral throughout the state, and in many
towns no little damage was done to build
lnRs, telephone and telegraph wires. 1t
is reported that the wind was unusually
severe on Pixies peak, and hat at a rail
way grading camp half way up the noun
tain, several men were killed by being
blown over a precipice. This report, how
ever, is not confirmed.

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
jects to voyagers. They follow a vessel
sometimes all the way across, ever rest
less and untiring. The gulls particular
ly, with their long, swift wings, realize
the highest powers of endurance and fly
with eese against the severest storms
Some say that these birds never visit the
earth except to deposit their eggs; other
wise they live constantly between the sea
and the sky. In fine weather they fly
high in the air, descending with great
rapidity to seize the fishes on the surface
of the water.
The symmetry and strength of the
gulls are remarkable, showing how ma
ture has adapted them in every particu-
lar for the purpose of long flight. Their
pectoral or breast muscles are one solid
mass of firm, hard muscle, and their
bones are hollow, having no marrow in
them. Sleep is not necessary to them,
or, rather, they rest upon their wings
and allow themselves to be Graded by
the b~reezes, whose violence neither vor-
ries nor ~frightens them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel a fierce delight
in the fury of the storm, which, con-
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and mollusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulls which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length, these are tied together
in the middle, and to the end of each a
small piece of blubber or fat is attached
tightly and then thrown into the sea. A
gull comes along and swallows one
piece; another then sees there is plenty
to spare and swallows the next; perhaps
a third bird takes possession of another,
but as they are all attached to the sail
yarns, whenever they try to fly away
one or the other is compelled to disgorge
his share, and this is continued to the
tantalizing suspense of the poor gulls
and the great fun of the passengers and
sailors.-Ocean.

The Board of Trade Journal of Port
land, Me-, is authority for he statement
hat about 5000 tons of terra alba were
recently imported through the port of
New York alone. The only use for terra
alba in any quantity is in the adulteration
of candies, and when these two facts are
put together they become very signif.
cant. The substance is mineral, utterly
insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice
and the result of eating candies adulter.
ated cannot be otherwise than excessively
injurious. The d~evilishness of the use of
such stuff in candies is all the greater
for the fact that most of the candies that
are adulterated with it are used by chill
dren of tender years. The extent to which
it exists in certain candies may be sur
missed by an incident which occurred
within the experience of the editor of
The National Druggist.
A Wholesale grocery house of St.
Louis made a claim against the South
Shore line for damages done a certain
lot Of lozenges manufactured by a Bos-
ton house and shipped in barrels over
that line. The general agent of the line
procured some of the 'lozenges" and
brought them to the writer for examina-
ton. The result of our investigation
showed them to consist entirely of terra
alba bound together with a little gelatine
or gum 1--WE have forgotten which,.
Further investigation developed the fact
that they were simply blocks or forms
to be used in preparing cheap lozenges,
the method of use being simply to i'm
merse them for a few moments in syrups
favored with peppermint, wintergreen,
etc. The agent, armed with these facts,
refused to pay any damages and the
concern, rather than risk the exposure
incident upon a law suit, dropped the
claim.-National Druggist.

BUFFALO, Jan. 25.-A meeting of the
passenger representatives of Vanderbilt
lines was held here Yesterday to consider
matters relating to the Pacific coast
agency established at San Francisco two
years ago and to fill a vacancy at that
agency caused by the resignation of Will
liam S. Baldwin, which takes effect April
|. A committee which visited the agency
reported that it was more expensive than
was warranted by the amount of business
which could be secured.
1t was resolved to abolish the separate
agencies at Portland and Los Angeles.
There will be one general ageucy at San
francisco with one general agent and
travelling passenger agent and the entire
territory will be covered by these two
men. G. G. Crane. travelling passenger
agent of the agency, was chosen to be
MI. Baldwin's successor.

Postohce Robbed.

DENVER. Jan. 25.-An Albuquerque
N. NJ, special says: Three masked men
effected an entrance into the postofice
early this morning and locked the night
clerk in a closet and robbed the safe of
some 5000 in cash, Six registered
pouches wee also robbed of their con.
tents. Today it was discovered one of
the pouches was the registered pouch
from Santa Fe containing several val
liable letters and one with four thousand
of Lincoln county current expense bonds
with cupons attached. This swells the
to $40. 600 but it is a question if the per-
petrators will dare undertake to sell the
bonds.

SAN Francisco. Jan. 25.-Warm
rains that have fallen in Northern Cali.
fornia the past two days have melted a
large amount of snow in the mountains
and caused the rivers to overflow. The
quick rise IN the waters washed out many
railroad bridges, filed cuts and caused
land slides and railroad traffic in the
northern portion of the state will be in
terrupted for several days. At the city
Of San jose the water is higher han ever
before known. At Santa Clara the prin-
cipal thoroughfare is covered with water
half a mile.
The district north and south of San
Jose is flooded, SO that no trains were
able to move to day owing to washouts.
AT Santa Cruz water reaches the highest
point ever known, and overlooked
a portion OF the city. At Emigrant Gap
in the mountains there we're two through

yesterday afternoon, but afterwards
changed to snow. Western Union line.
men report that in the vicinity of Tama
rack, for more than a mile not a pole is
in view, and it will be necessary to dig a
trench through the NOV more than TWEEN
ty feet deep in order to free the wires.
Provisions are getting very scarce at
Emigrant Gap. At Chico, in the Sacra-
mento valley, the Sacramento river is
flooding the entire country lying near it.
1t is estimated that it is fifteen feet
higher than it was during the last food.
From Geyserville to Healdsburg, a DIS
lance of eight miles is a vast sea of water.
The river spreads over an area of five
miles in width, and at a point on Dry

day r%escuing people from their homes at
