Pictured on Marble.

Colonel A. G. Hawlcy, formerly Adj
jutant-General of Minnesota, has in HE
possession, says the Denver Rocky Noun.
tain Ne,cs, a very curious piece of stone.
1t is slab of Mexican marble about two
feet long aud foot wide, bearing upon
Its face u beautiful mountain Landscape,
which had in some strange way been
pictured there by natives. The picture
Is mountain river, which winds along
at the foot of some high aud rocky cliffs.
Above the cliffs are PERCEPTIONS mount
aims, clothed half way to the top with
pine trees and stuntcd shrubs. In one
place there are little rapids in the river,
aud in another place its surface becomes
still and smooth us IL mirror. The out
lines of the mountains and cliffs. and
even of the vcriure upon the rocks. ia
distinctly Swallowed in the still water.
The simmer Of the sun on the surface
of the river aud the white spray of the
rapids are plainly brought out. \ biz
pine tree stands on the top of the cliff,
and is SO perfect in detail that il roots,
chnging i'll the clcfts Of rock, can be
seen. When the sun shines on the
marble and brings out the colors the
picture looks rs if I'M artist had painted
it upon the stone, but in the gas!ight or
electric light the colors disappear.
The curiosity was given to Colonel
liawley by Major Knappen, who owns
the quarry in New Mexico, where it was
found. Major Kuappen is authority for
the. statement that the picture in the
marble Is an exact reproduction of the
scenery on the side Of the valley oppo-
site where the quarry is located. The
mountain peaks i'll the background of
the landscape are the sentincls of the
Guadaloupc range and the river which
mirrors the beauty of the scenery is the
Rio Penasis. One of the marble men
working in the quarry climbed half way
up the mountain side one day to pros
pect for onyx and noticed the rough slab
of marble, which was lying with the sur
face exposed. lie examined it closely
to discover IFS quality and saw the
picture on its notified surface. 1t was
roughly polished and the picture became
more distinct. Major knappen brought
the slab to Chicago and took it to n
marble hnishcr, who ground of one
eighth OF an inch of its surface and pol
ished it as smooth as possible This last
polishing brought out the details of the
picture.
Colonel lIawlcy explains the existence
oil the picture i'll the stone, but his cx-
PLANTATION is almost as much of a curl
"slty us the stone itself. He SAYS the
river and cliffs aud mountains must have
been photographed on the marble when
IL was IN II plastic condition by the ac-
non OF the suns rays. Apparently, how
ever, the picture is Il result of IL singular
arrangement of the notifies in the
marble.

A Burmall Rat Tran.

Rats may readily he induced To jump

Melting the Driving Wheels.

A singular accident happened to a
freight train on the Union Pacific Rail
way, near Odessa, Mo. On account of
unavoidable delays it was caught between
stations, and was running on the time
of the fast mail train. The engineer of
the freight tried to find ii siding to crawl
into to avoid a collision. The engine was
pushed to its fullest driving. capacity.
Coal was piled into the. fire box aud the
engine, responding to the will Of the en-
gineer, flew over the track at speed sell
dom attained by freight train. Just
before Odessa was reached the rim OF the
driving wheels was partly melted off,
and the wheels left the rails and the cars
behind were piled upon one another.
Fortunately the engineer and fireman cs-
capped without injury, although they
were buried under the wrcckaee which
was piled upon the cab of the locomotive.
The conductor of the freight prevented
the fast mail from running into the
wreck by going up the track and display
