Remarkable Delicacy and Sensitiveness of
the Organs of Hearing.
In the big lumber mill at Austin,
Pa, there is an engine of remarkable
beauty and power. 1t is a $50 horse
power engine, which drives the compli-
Gated machinery of the sawlnill
Standing beside the immense fywheel
of this engine the other night it struck
me that the everlasting clatter and
roar of wheels, belts and pistons must
be awfully trying to the nerves of the
engineer, who had to be always in that
room. ] asked him if it were not so,
and he replied at once: mot at all; on
the contrary feel the stiffness of the
night outside more than what seems
to you to be the confused uproar in
this room. Every sound that goes to
swell the total has its peculiar mean
ing to me. and sitting here I can dis
t.ngaish by the sound the slightest
deviation of any part of the engine
from its proper course. If, as I some
times do, ! drop into a dozc, not the
smallest thing could happen to that
engine: not the most insignificant part
OF its complicated mechanism could
get ont Of gear, but the change of
sound would waken me instantly"

A WONDERFUL MIRAGE

Tho City Which Indians Say Was
Built in the Clouds.
Many stories have been written
about mirages and delusions, but
none have been more interesting and
curious than that of the Silent City
mirage, which makes its appearance
near the Pacific glacier in Alaska
The discovery of this wonderful
mirage was made by the Indians, who
would tell of the city which was built
in the clouds The mirage can be
seen in the early part of July. from 5
to p. III. 1t rises from the side of
the Pacific glacier. 1t first appears
like Il heavy mist, and soon becomes
clearer, and one can distinctly sec
the spectcr city, we'll defined streets
and trees, large spires, huge and odd
shaped buildings, which appear to be
ancient mosques or cathedrals 1t is
a city which would seem to contain at
least $4,000 or 10000 inhabitants. AS
yet no one has been able to identify
it, although several have claimed to
recognize the place. There is no city
like it in Alaska. nor in any country
about it for thousands of miles. Some
claim it is a city in Russia, others say
it is Il city in England, but none can
tell what or where it is. The mirage
was given the name of "Silent City"
as it appears to one like dead city;
there is nothing that would indicate it
is inha bited.

A New aud Tc:ciblo Illustration of the
Old slang Phrase.
A Louisville junk dealer recently
bought a miscellaneous lot of old iron
from the stats arsenal ut Frankfort,
Ky. 1t included a good many old
cannon balls and loaded bombshells,
and the junk man hired H. L. Sanders
and James Force to unload the shells.
They took the shells into the country
and piGng them up in u tent went to
work.
Ono day shell exploded in their
hands. A Iaborer ran to the tent,
which had fallen in and taken fire.
and found the two men shattered
corpses. The laborer dragged the dis
mcmbered bodies from the flames and
beat u hasty retreat.
!!t. was none too soon. In three
minute, the fire had communicated
with IL stack of shells. and off they
went with the thunder of n full bat
terry of forty-pounders This was
followed at short intervals by the
explosion of single shells that were
lying about 1t all sounded like the
cannonade of armies in battle, and
shook the capitol over the hills that
encircled it.
Forces house, a short distance from
the explosion, was entirely dismantled,
pieces OF shell and slugs tearing
through it in every direction. A farm
house mile distant had every window
glass shattered and its occupants badly
frightened. A shell was picked up on
the turnpike quarter Of a mile from
the explosion.

1JNORGAN1ZED.
Something New for Chicago
Travel.

The Bulletin believes in giving cred
it where credit is due, and it wishes,
therefore, to mention the magnificent
train service that''The Northwestern
Line'' is giving the people of the north
west. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
probably in the United States the train
service of this line between Minneapo-
lis, St. Paul and Chicago is unsur-
passed. The recent addition ofprlvate
compartment cars and Understanding
Library cars to the equipment OF the
Northwestern Limited, is great ad-
vance and provides the public with
service that excels the state room &C
commodations on eastern roads, for
which large excess fare is taken, while
the North Western Line provides these
accommodations without extra charge.
The Bulletin desires to make this vol
untay mention believing that it is de-
served. The public will certainly ap-
preciate the improvements referred to.
