A special from st. Augustine to the
Times Onion says: "a nondescyipt Of the
brlny deep was found floating Sunday on
the San sebastian by a boatman who sold
it 70 Mr.. Ferreo. The creature is small IN
size not over three inches long, yet it
could supply the elephant with a trunk, the
leopard with spots, the zebra with stripes,
the octopus with suctions, the alligator with
arms, and the camel with color The thing
has the shape, body, mouth and eyes OF the
black bass, and IN addition to- ali these doubt
less necessary appendages, the flauks are
studded with what appears to be
little brushes, like those on the spine of the
caterpillar. While provided with fins
enough to satisfy several kinds of reasonable

great Arkansas valley. The day was windy 4;

from the way the wind shrieked past us.
should not have thought Of usisg fraction
in describing it.
Suddenly a number of elegantly shaped,
slightly built animals appeared in the dis
lance, and dashed toward the moving train.
The wind, the antelopes-for such they
proved to bs-and the train engaged in
race, in which the antelopes for short
time held their own. But what most aston
ished me was that the antelopes were pur>
sued by great gray balls, some of which
were from four to five feet in diameter,
Not one of our party could imagine what
these were, never having heard of anything
Of the kind. We watched the curious sight
until the locomotive and the wind left the
antelopes and the pursuing balls far behind
US. To increase our interest, howe er,
many more such balls could be seen on the
windward side of the track, piled up against
the wire fences and in ravlnes and gulleys
along our onward route.
| afterward learned that what our party
saw were known to the plainsmen as "tum =
ble-weeds." and to the botanists as the cy-
cloloma plal ,phylium. 1t belongs to a
genus OF plants that grow into a thick,
globe-shaped mass of twgs and small
branches, attached to their roots each by a
small stem. which in the fall becomes dry
aud brittle; and, as the autumn winds sweep
over the prairie, these stems break off, and
the tumble-weeds go bounding away, scat
| tering their seeds as they 60.
Antelopes aud jack-rabbits, grouse and
prairie dogs are put to flight. cattle are
stampeded and the roadbeds are clogged by
these flying masses of brushwood.

Letters in Cannon Balls.

At the siege of Steenwick, in 1851,
leaden cannon-balls were used, each
weighing about five pounds. These were
followed out on one side, and a letter
or other missive placed in the cavity,
which was after wards closed with a lea !
capsule. To the other side of the ball
was attached a piece Of tarred rope.
When one of these balls was fired from
cannon into the town, as messenger
from the camp of their allies, the blazing
rope informed the inhabitants that the
bali contained letters, and it was then
opened. Similar projectiles were used
to convey messages during the siege of
Turin, in Philadelphia Record.

lance Man Crazy.
Samuel Wilkinson, a prominent farmer
and Alliance man Of Salem, Mich, was out in
the woods few days ago with his son, four
teen years old; each had shotgun. Their
failure to return caused great uneasiness and
before dawn next day fifty boys and men
started to explore every inch of the
forest. They were Mortified to find the
hodv of the boy stretched across a log, his
gun by his side, and his fathers weapon
few feet away. The boys brains were
riddled with shot and death must have been
instantaneous.
Mr. Wilkinson was found that forenoon

ances who brought him to his friends He
was in a crazed condition. He loved his only

was accidental ana that the shock was moro
