How Does Electricity Kill?

An electrician says that just what takes place in the human organism to produce death from an electric current seems to be an unsolvcd problem. One of the theories sometimes advanced concerning it is that when a being suffers death from electric shock, it is pure case of internal rupture or explosion from the generation of gas or vapor. In support of this view the way in which telegraph poles arc sometimes torn to pieces is referred to. The lightning follows the moist portion of the pole, which is the core or heart; in this case the moisture is vaporized and an explosion occurs. The high resist ance produces heat, the heat in turn steam, and the steam an explosion. New York Telegram.

Rich Mining Claim
Eheuix Herald .

To-day Porfiro Martinez came in from the neighborhood of Wickenburg where he has discovered very rich little lead of gold. He brought in as the result of six days work with an arastra, two and a quarter ounces of gold, also sixty ounces of silver, the latter being smelted from the rock in the cid fashioned Mexican adobe smelter. The gold-bearilg ledge IS but about fourteen inches wide, but is quite rich in very pure gold. The silver comes from a new find on the Fortuna mine just discovered by Martinez.

People east who are nearly dylng of the heat think 1t must be worse here and remain away till 1t IS cool or. People west think If it is so bad in other places, Arizona must be worse still, but II they knew the truth of it, we have the healthlest summer climate to be found anywhere, and the time is coming when this will be acknowledged by everybody.

 For the Central Silver mine, more ma chlnery has arrived, and work goes on continually in that camp.
 Although little is said there are indica- tons that there Is by no means lack of interest ln mining affairs. Why should there be? With the passage of the silver blll and consequent advance of silver; with the increased price for copper con- aeqGent upon the demand for that arti- cle, why should there be falling off of demand for good mining properties, of which there are plenty here, many of which are worked steadily and have been for years, although their owners are by no means anxious to advertise that fact

Yuma Times


 From E. B, Wagy we learn that a man supposed to be the eccentric tramp who was for time incarcerated in iail as a vagrant, and who, through his peculiar actions, became a source of curiosity to many of our residents, was buried few days ago near the Mohawk section house by Section Foreman R. T. Burr. A tramp travelling towards Tucson reported to Mir Burr that he had met the deceased short time prior to his death about four miles west of the Mohawk section house and that he asked for water which, when pre- sented, was drained to the last drop. The donor protested vehemently but his eccen- tric'acquaintance simply remarked, T can not help it Pard," and passed on. Or the day following a Yaquero found the man near the track in an apparently dy ing condition near Colfred some six ol eight miles west of the section house. Mir Burr at once proceeded to the spot indi cated, but the man died few minute, after. his arrival. The remains were takel to the section house and inferred as stat ed

 saparilla than of any similar.
 MARsToN & SHAW: With us the sale of Hoods is to of any other kind.
 F, & E, BAILEY X Co: Hoods Sarsaparilla is one Of the best medicines.
 CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarsaparila is ono of the best medicines we have Its sale increases every year E F. P. MoopY: We sell twice as much of Hoods Sarsaparilla Of anything similar.
 c. A. SWAN: Hoods isthe most popular sarsa parilla of the day.
 THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly. This popularity at home, where Hoods sarss parilla and it's proprietors have been known for many years could not continue if the medicine did not possess merit, And these facts should certainly convince people in other sections of the country that Hoods Sarsaparilla is good, reliable medicine.

TRUSTS TO HIS HORNS.

The moufhon can see the wind or the scent of q man coming-in what way will be explained later. It is his custom to stand on the edge of a precipice and watch the approaching wind or foe. When he thinks it time to get out of the way he takes a dive, apparently to his inevitable destruction. As a matter of fact he ahghts on his immense horns, which causes him to bounce off the ground a few feet into the air Then he alights comfortably on his feet.
 One yeracious sportsman relates that he had got within easy shooting distance of a mouffion when the animal took his customary dive. Great was the sports mans surprise when, after a few min utes, he saw the mouffion reappear on the spot whence he had dived.
 In his fear the moufflon had taken such hard dive that he bounded back to ex- actly the place which he had left. Then the sportsman shot him easily, of course The moutfion has a remarkably fine and large blue eye. itis with this that Keeper Holmes theory is connected.
 The eyes are situated at the side of the ASIOy StIN3 1AOO GIG very wide apart The animal can look in front, to the side and behind without moving his head. Of this there is no possible doubt whatever.
 Keeper Holmes says that the mouff1on can see the wind, which has red color to him and varies in redness according to it's velocity. Thefact that he is afraid of anything red goes to prove this. All animals, says MT. Holmes, which can see the wind are timid, and so should we be if we could do so. Can it be that this theory would account for the mental distress of gentlemen who see things which others cannot? The moufilon, ac- cording to Mir Holmes, can sec other sights and smell other smells of which we are entirely unconscious.
 It should be said that he is borne out more CT less in his theory by scientists. Sir John Lubbock has recently found out that his ants are conscious of several colors unknown to men. The same thing is true of many other animals in regard to smells-New York Evening Sun.

ABOUT THE MOUFFLON.
A FEW NOTES UPON A CURIOUS
 GUEST OF KEEPER HOLMES.

The N1oufiion Has Large Horns to F,e
 Used as Air Cusllions-He Can See the
 yVind-It Appears Red to His Gen1Ie
 Eye-SeveraI Theories of NIT. Holmes.
 The keepers in the Central park me nagelie are all men of considerable intel ligence, and many of them hold valuable and entertaining theories regarding the animals under their charge It is not easy for an outsider to learn what these theories are, but they come out gradual ly on better acquaintance. They are usually the result of long experience worked upon by bold imagination.
 Keeper Holmes. who has looked after deer and camels for about twenty-six years, propounds some of the most val uable of these theories.
 There are in the deer house a male and Q female Sardinian mouffion. By the way, the keepers do not speak of a male or female animal, but of lady or a gentleman animal. For instance, they say That's a lady hippopotamus, or That's a gentleman hippopotamus."
 One Friday the lady mouflon present. ed her gentleman with new small moufflon of the male sex.
 The baby mouffion was seen by the writer soon after his appearance in this world He is well cared for by his mother He is very small and very plump. His mother Is an extremely affectionate ani- nal, and puts warm, damp nose against the hand of anybody who puts it within her cage.
 The mouffion is the subject of one of Keeper Holmes theories. The animal is variously called the Sardinian or the Corsican moufflon, or the muffie, and scientifically the ovis musimon. It is a sheep, and one of the many varieties of wild sheep.
Arizona weekly enterprise., 1890-08-09

The specimens III central park stand a little more than two feet high and are very gracefully formed. They have not the goatlike tuft under the chin pos sessed by some wild sheep.
 The mouffion is found in the noun tains of Sardinia. Corsica, Southern Spain, European Turkey and in various Mediterranean islands. It closely resem- bles the Rocky mountain wild sheep, but is prettier.
 The moufflon has wool and hair like any other sheep. The wool comes next to the skin and the hair outside thewool As everybody should know the great difference between wild and domesti- cated sheep is that the former have more hair and less wool, and the latter less hair and more wool. The wool is devel oped and the hair decreases after domes tication
 The moufflOn's wool is of a yellowish white and his hair of a light chestnut color, It is gray on the muzzle, the ab domen and the inner side of the thighs and white on the under side of the tail The hair grows thinner in summer. u -O Ai4Sdi4Ioi ilttS d very Uliupy 1OT0 head just over the eyes. Its head is long and intelligent looking Its muzzlt is compressed.
 The gentleman moufflon has immense hollow horns. They are triangular They hnd backward in a semicircle and take another small twist before the, come to points. The bases of the horn occupy almost the entire forehead abov, the bumpy part mentioned.
 There is something very interesting connected with these horns. The mouff1ol is one of the most difficult animals t, shoot or catch. He is very timid, yer, swift, and can take refuge in places in accessible to man. His horns serve hin for defense very seldom, however, ant 1 principally as a means of escaDe.
