A Great SOuth.AmsrIcan Ra iIway.

The station of the great Southern
Railway on the Plaza de Ia Constitution
at Buenos Ayres is a vast and handsome
building, which will bear comparison
with the Test modern railway stations in
Europe. The monumental marble stair
case and entrance hall, the Offices os the
administration, the waiting rooms, and
the arrival and departure platforms,
spanned by a tasteful iron roof, are all
as fine as anything of the kind in the
Old World. The adjoining goods sta
tion and depots are of enormous extent,
and during the season form the great
wool market of BuenoS Ayres. The
plan and distribution Of the various sery-
ices are most conveniently arranged. The
rolling stock Of the great Southern Com
pany for passenger traffic is, like the sta.
ton, of the most modern and improved
description, built in England, the ordi-
nary cars on the North American plan,
and the sleeping cars on the European
system, with compartments of four beds.
This company runs also vestibule trains
between Buenos Ayres and La Plata,
and these cars, likewise built in Eng
land, are fitted up with the greatest
luxury, and provided with every conven-
ience that traveller can desire. con-

find such an admirably appointed rail

A Skeleton Held by a Cleft Tree.

Freeman P. Lane, who has just re-
turned from Chaska, says that farmer
living near that place, while traversing
a copse of heavy oak timber some five
milds from Chaska, discovered human
skeleton securely pinioned to a huge
oak. The supposition, based upon the
surrounding conditions, is that the man
must have met with death before cold
weather set in last fall. The skeleton
was in an upright position, and the
entire right arm and shoulder was
wcdged into a crack in the trunk Of the
tree. The tree is badly shattered from
TOP to bottom, and this theory is
evolved:
During heavy thunder shower last
fall the man sought shelter beneath the
wide. spreading branches of the oak, and
q tbunderbolt rent the tree from tip to
root, killing the man and opening a
crevice in the tree that Immediately
clesed, pinioning the man. 1t is mar
rated that a farm hand employed some
four miles from the death-trap has been
missing since early in November or late
in October. 1t is surmised that he was
tbc victim of natures unwonted freak

Coral Animals Tanned.

"I know that coral animals can be
tanned, for | have had considerable ex-
perience with them," said George Ban
croft, of Tallahassee.
Mr.. Bancroft has spent several years
of his life among the coral reefs off the
coast of Florida and Key West, aud has
made a study Of the work of the little
coral animal. The traveller has fine
collection of coral with him, and about
each piece has something interesting to
relate.
81 believe am the first person, how
ever, who ever tanned the polyps," con-
tinued Mr.. Bancroft, as he took a fine
specimen from his pocket. "That piece
l found on a reef in Florida, and as l
was anxious to notice how fast the coral
grows placed it IN the water where |
could visit it every week and note the
change. | had no idea the coral animal
would become used to my coming, but
one day after about the tenth visit l
noticed the polyps darting into their
cells. After several more visits some of
the little fellows became so bold as to
remain on the outside, and finally they
became so we'll acquainted with me they
would remain in sight. l have stood by
the side OF that four-inch-square speci-
men for hours examining the thousands
of animals on it,
"Scientifc men claim that the coral
grows slowly, not more than an inch in
100 years, but l have proved that the
scientific people don't know what they
are talking about, for the piece contain
ing my coral pets in six morths grew at
least an inch. 1t is rather hard to de.
scribe how the animal works. The little
fellow IS a mere sack containing
stomach. 1t is compound animal, and
increases by gemmation, young polyps
springiug from the original polyp,
sometimes indifferently from any part Of
its surface. The upper surface is decked
out with teatacles and the body is
separated by a number of partitions that
extend from the stomach to the outer
skin. Between these walls of flesh the
carbonate of lime is deposited and in
that way the coral grows"
Mr.. Bancroft has many specimens OF
coral with him. One kind he calls the
pepper coral. When touched with the
tongue it will cause tears to run from
the eyes of the owner of the tongue. 1t is
worse than red pepper. The coral, the
traveller says, is not sought for as it was
years ago.
"Coral ornaments are not popular at
present" said Mr.. Bancroft" and until
there is a craze for them the trade will
not be extensive. Chicago Tribune.

"Observation PARTIES"

An "observation party" is feature of
many evening entertainments given for
Young people this season, and is very
simply arranged. On a round table, of
convenient size, place fifty familiar OBJ
iects. sufficiently far apart to be easily
seen. Keep the table covered with
cloth, until it is wanted. The cover on
which the articles are placed should be
white, in order that each article may be
clearly seen. Paper and pencil are pro-
v;ded for each guest, and two or three
nrizcs are arranged. At given signal
the hostess uncovers the table and the
quests are allowed to gather around it
and observe what they can, for one or
two minutes, as the hostess decides, the
time being noted by the watch. Then
three minutes are allowed, the table
being again covered, in which the guests
write out the names of all the articleS
tbey can remember to have seen. A Sec
ord sight, and sometimes a third, may
he allowed, but, of course, no name must
be repeated in the list. The cards are
collected and the two or three having the
greatest number of names win the prizes
