MONKEYS. INDIAN AND A SNAKE.

Three monkeys, an Indian and a snake
were the principal attraction at the Union
depot yesterday afternoon. Hundreds of
people crowded around them and the
small boy had a picnic compared to which
the circus was mere cipher The mon
keys were trick monkeys and the way
they pranced and sported around would
have tickled a mummy. One of them was
white and ne answered to the name of
O'Rafferty as natural as if he had been
duly born and christened with that
name. O'Rafferty. naturally enough didn't
like snakes and that is what caused the
great amusement for the boys. The In
dian kept the snake curled up in an old
shoe, but whenever his snakeships head
would protrude O'Rafferty would make
himself scarce with a degree of agility
that was phenomenal O'Rafferty had
some characteristic fighting qualities,
too, for when a man tried to stop hun in
his effort to get away from the snake, once
he jumped square at his throat and was
about TO chaw his ear when the Indian in
terfered, The man thus assaulted was hot
and was about to paralize O'Raffertv when
the Indian interfered, and for a minute.
1t looked as if fight would ensue. The
man, however, didn't feel like tackling the
Indian, the snake and the monkeys all at
once, single-handed and alone, and very
sensibly postponed the job. The Indian
was halt-civilizeG Cheyenne ard was
taking the monkeys down to Darlington

among his people who, at this time, have

Making Wood IncombustibIe.

The weight Of testimony, thus far, il
regard to the various methods proposed
for rendering wood incombustible, o.
nonalterable by heat, appears to b.
against the claim that building encum
bered with infiammable substances car
pass through such q test uninjured. Il
Is known that tie methods reSorted tC
for preserving wood against fire are prin
cipally two, viz, the injections of saline
solutions and the application of a paint
or coating. The former has been founc
practically Ineffective, and has even beer
pronounced by some as of dangerous
tendency in the case of wood of large
dimensions, though the treatment MAY
be applicable to pieces of wood Of small
size.
1t is remarked that of all the various
substances which have been brought for.
ward for this purpose, the concentrated
solution of phosphate of ammonia has
proved the most valuable, the use of this
substance, in fact, Notwithstanding it.

Norwegian Horses.

A traveller in Norway says that the
horses in that country have very SEN
sible way of taking their food, which
might be benefcially followed here
They have bucket of water put down
beside their allowance of hay. 1t is in

take a sip of the one and mouthful of
the other alternately, sometimes only
moistening their mouths as a rational
being would while eating his dinner of
such dry food. A broken winded horse
is scarcely ever seen in Norway, and the
question is if the mode of feeding has not
something to do with the preservation of
the animals respiratory organs.-Lon-

Getting Oil from smol,e.

1t appears that in Scotland there is a
company which pays certain amount
yearly TO number of iron works for the
privilege Of collecting the smoke and
gases from the blast furnaces. These
are passed through several miles of
wrought iron tubing, and as the gases
cool there is deposited considerable
yield of oil; one plant is reported to yield
$4,000 gallons Of furnace oil per week.
The sum paid for this privilege is such
as to be profitable, it is said, to both par
ties. The oil thus obtained is distilled
and a considerable quantity of cresol,
phenol and some other substances are
procured from 1t, while the oil remain
