Spaniards' Skulls for Loving Cups.

War med into confidence by this 'lo'
ing cup" the chief informed us that he
was a very rich man, having fifteen
wives, fifty ponies, and many sheep.
Through the interpreter, we replied
that we were not Spaniards, nor
descendants Of Spaniards, and that
we had read with pleasure how his an
cestors had withstood the conquerors;
that we sympathized with his warriors
and knew from these facts that they
were very brave. The delighted chief
beamed from top to toe with pleasure,
and whispered something to squaw,
who left the room and presently re-
turned with an armful of human skulls.
From most of them the face part had
been partially cut away, and all were
worn perfectly smooth. The grinning
chief assured US that every skull was
once the Uranium of Spaniard of high
rank, who had been slain while fight
ing the Araucanians. Some of them
had been handed down from generation
to generation through several centuries,
and were used only by chiefs and wise
men to drink out Of on great occasions.
The others had been taken from enemies
during his own time, and were used for
drinking cups at ordinary feasts.-Chili

the rear coach going to the bottom of
the river and the others piliing on top.

down fifty men. About 200 men were
at the bridge, all doing what they could
towards extricating the wounded and

THE flash-light for signals on Mount
Washington is success. Signals have
been read distinctly at Portland, a
distance by air line of SIS miles. and the
messages were proved by telegraphic
communication. The needle-like beams
were not flashed directly to Portland,
but in to the air above that city to avoid
low-lying clouds. The Portland oper-
;tor estimates that the light which he
read easily was S0-miles above him, and
that the length of the flash from Mount
Washington to the point where he read
it was 10 miles. The, success of the
experiment is expected to revolutionize
the system of signaling.
