Speed of the Fly.

"The speed of fly is something that
have always had great curiosity to
know" said j. A. Bascomb, of Little
Rock, Ark, at the Lindell. Evidently
its flight is faster than that of any othes
winged creature, for it is no uncommon
thing for the tiny insect to dash its life
ont against a wall or tree, so great is its
momentum. i had splendid opportu-
nifty few weeks ago to witness an exhi-
bition of the fy's speed, by which il
could be approximately measured.

ing over the Little Rock and Memphis
Railroad. My business necessitated my

The air was chill and crisp, and as we
passed through a stretch of swamp
noticed that great swarms of little green
flies that abound in Arkansas swamps
were attracted to the locomotive by its
heat. They appeared almost frozen.
When we stopped for minute they fiut-
tered around the smDkcstack and the
boiler, and soon seemed to get thawed
out When we started again they flew
along close to the engine to keep warm.
Going on down grade of As miles in
length, we ran mile minute. The flies
easily kept up with us, and, in fact, really
went faster than We travelled, for every
little while they would fly away from the
engine and then come back to us. am
confident their speed was greater than a
mile minute, and / will venture the
assertion that they didn't reach the
limit

A Mecrsehaum Mine.

The schooner Nora Harkins, Captain
Harkins, arrived from Mexican ports
few days since and is now lying at Sec
ton of the sea wall.
Among the passengers of the steamer
was Juan Carols, a wealthy mine owner
in Mexico and a gentleman with a varied
experience extending back many years
in that country He has been in Mexico
and Lower California for over seventeen
years, and has many interesting stories
to tell of his adventures in the land of
our southern neighbors. His principal
work has been that of prospecting, and
he has met with more than the ordinary
success in delving for the precious metals.
Shortly before he left for San Francisco
nc located one of the richest mines in
Lower California. He made his find
near Basarjo bay, and if the samples he
brought with him are criterion of the
stuff beneath the surface the wealth of
the mine must be fabulous. He showed
reporter yesterday some of the samples.
The quartz bears gold, copper and silver;
some of it free gold and some native
silver.
Senior GariclG speaks of this mine as a
bagatelle compared with another dis
covery he recently made. This last find
was no less than a meerschaum mine,
which he accidentally stumbled across
with Il French priest.
"This," he said holding up sample
OF the product in the shape of brick.
''is more valuable than all the gold and
silver mines put together. This is the
genuine meerschaum, and we have
mine lof it. We require no blasting or
TUNE ing or putting up of stamps and
mills to get it out. We can chop all we
want of it out with an AK, and there is
no trouble in shipping it away."-[San
Francisco Call.
