Last Friday night while Rev. Marcial
Serna, native Protestant minister, was
holding religious service at San Antonio

the religious services We're being conduct
ed, and created considerable disturbance

using language very unbecomngo of a man
who processes to be a law abiding and or

a warrant issued for the arrest of Mr.
Pine, and he was brought before Justice

Who found him guilty and assessed the
fine at $l0.-Socorro Chieftain.

Gen. Rutler's WAYS.

A prominent public man who was one Of
the thousands of visitors in Boston during
"Grand Army week" has written the fol-
lowing of Gen. Butler in a letter to Plain
field On. J.) friend:
''I had just secured my accustomed place
in the smoking car when Ben Butler, the
old veteran, entered the car and lazily
threw himself in the seat just in front OF
me. Of course there was no difficulty in
recognizing his individuality, and was
much interested in the old mans eccen,
tricity. He produced from the inneruost
recesses of his pocket cigar To judge
from its appearance I should say it was
what is technically termed three for,
and proceeded to do with 1t just as a small
boy would stick of licorice.
without lighting it he would fondle it,
inspect it, then bite at it as tenderly as
only the old war horse could do. He then
demanded a paper, which the accommo.
dating conductor fastened to secure for
him. I was amused to see the old gentle.
man turn over the pages until his eye
rested upon the baseball column, and he
scanned the scores with as much interest
as the most devoted crank who causes
the bleacheries to tremble by his uproar
and excitement when his favorite makes q
home run. New York Tribune.

"No Mans Land" in BROOKLYN.

Every schoolboy can give you the exact
location of the curious strip Of land lying
south of the state Of Kansas popularity
called "No Mans Land" A description
and history has been given Of the original
"No Mans Land" lying between the states
Of Maryland and Delaware. Now comes
the story of lost piece of real estate lying
in the heart of Brooklyn, N. 2. It lies at
the head of the Wallabout canal, and
abuts on the wall Of the Navy Yard ceme-
terry.
The United States government cannot
claim the tract, as it was never ceded to 1t.
The city has no title to it, it having been
omitted from the plan made after the Unit
ed States acquired the Wallabout lands.
The spot is 10 by feet, but small as it is
is quite valuable. An enterprising squat
ter has erected a small shanty upon it, and
put out the sign, "This is No Mans Land"

A Glacier Dam Bursts.

The Marjelen lake, which lies at the foot
of the Eggischhorn, in the upper Valais,
had burst the glacier dam which lay across
the valley, and spreading over the glacier
had poured black mass of mud, stones
and broken ice into the Rhone below. For
tunately there was little water in the river
at the time, otherwise the consequences
might have been very calamitous for the
people of the upper Valais. A peasant
who was close to the lake at the time de-
clares that the scene was most terrible
and indescribable. When the ice dam
gave way the vast mass of water came
tumbling out, sweeping away the huge
fragments of the glacier, with the rocks
upon it, tumbling into the crevasses. burst
ing them up in turn, and rising over the
glacier, in gigantic waves, again to carry
all before it.
Just at the end Of the glacier the valley
had narrowed into little defile, while this
face of the glacier was some hundreds Of
feet high. The water seemed to have tun-
neled under the ice, which attacked above
and below, gave way ut last with deafen-
ing crash, while the food hurried down the
mountain side into the Rhone. The lake
was nearly 5000 feet above the sea level,
and usually discharged its surplus water
by subterranean channels, occasionally
bursting its ice barriers, as on the present
occasion. The cantonal government are
constructing an overflow canal, which it is
hoped will put an end to these periodical
outbursts.-Swiss Vaterland.

Sound at Different Angles.

in some recent experiments on the range
of human hearing the ticking of watch
was distinctly audible at a distance of 1C
feet on a line at right angles to the head.
On moving the watch Is degs. in front of
the line the tick could be heard IA feet
away; at an angle of 40 degs. only 8 feet,
and at 55 degs. only 8 feet. Placed q
degs. back of the line the watch could not
be heard beyond 6 feet. The total range OF
hearing was about 95 degs., the direction
of greatest acuteness being IS degs. in front
of the imaginary line through the ears.
Descending from the horizontal, the hear
ing distance increased from 10 feet to a
maximum of 12 feet at 35 degs., and then
decreased until reduced to feet at so degs.
On carrying the watch upward the sound
decreased steadily until at an angle of co
degs. it could be heard only 8 feet away

Couldn't Fool the Editor,

heard such funny story about a
famous poetess of passion, whose poems
ought of course to bring tremendous
prices, but sometimes are rejected like
those Of less gifted mortals A young
editor received one from the lady, with a
note stating that she would sell it to him
for $40, but that from any other editor she
could easily get $50. When the young
editor, who is as wise as a serpent while
looking US harmless as a dove, received
this note he waxed sarcastic and laughed
with merry scorn, for he had chanced to be
in various other sanctums where this very
poem had been read and rejected.
He realized that his paper was dernier
resort, and carefully folding up the spasm
of emotion he returned it, with q polite
note to the effect that he couldn't think Of
taking the poem at such low rates when
the author could so easily get double her
price elsewhere The fiery poetess tells all
her friends that the editor is no gentle
man.-New York Cor Chicago Herald.
