Under the appropriation made for the
purpose rs camels have been imported.
"After several years. trial it was DEM
onstrated that the animals were not
adapted to military transportation in
this country and the entire herd was
sold at auction"
I cannot concur in this opinion. /
would rather believe, with Prof. Knee
land Of Boston, that "any satisfactory
results which might have been expected
from such experiments were frustrated
by the civil war;"
The records of the United States quar-
termaster department show that on
March 8, 1866, the quartermaster at New
Orleans was authorized to sell 66 camels
then in Texas. The highest bid received
for these camels was $31 per head, at
which price they were sold.
So far have not been able to ascer-
tain what fate these animals shared, but
undoubtedly the camels found in South
ern Arizona today are the remnants and
offspring of those imported about 81
years ago into the state of Texas.
l am in correspondence with the gov
ernor of Arizona. and shall communicate
with the proper authorities in this city
with the object of saving the camels
from destruction by removing them to
some government reservation, probably
Yellowstone National park, and securing
a few for the Geological park of this

LlvERMoRR's FREAK.

A wild Boy who Lives Exactly Like
M an Animal
The Chicago Blade is authority for the
following:
The town of Livermore, CAL, has a
wild boy that eats grass and lives on
roots and herbs and does all sorts OF
strange things.
For years this wild boy has lived in
his fathers pastures and has been as
contented as any ordinary mortal would
be in a well-furnished and COM
Portable home. The unfortunate lad
has name and home, but
he does not regard either as much az
any rational being would. He prefers
to frisk around in his fathers grain
fields and chase the frightened children
OF the neighborhood down the country
roads.
John Worth is the wild boys name,
and he is about 15 years old. His
father is Harrison Worth. who lives on
q little tract of ground few miles out of
Livermore. The boy has been q terror
to the neighbors for long time. Ever
since his birth he has been an imbecile,
and all attempts to teach him even the
rudiments of understanding have been
but dismal failures.
The wild boy knows absolutely nothing,
and is as much at home out in the open
fields as he is at his fathers hearthside.
Recently he has been terrorizing the
neighbors of the Worth ranch to such
an extent that he was arrested on com
plant of Farmer Clark, who considers
him dangerous to be at large. His
sanity was investigated by the lunacy
commission, but the doctors decided
surrouRd Livermore valley were better
places for him than an insane aeylum
would be, go he was sent home on the
afternoon train in custody of his father,
who has promised to take better care of
him in the future.
The boys father had been in the
habit of keeping his son at home by
tying him to a stake, just as the cattle
are treated, and he never makes any
attempt to escape. The rope around his
ankle has always been sufficient to keep
him within bounds, and while the wild
boy would tug at his rope just as any
dumb brute would do, he has never had
the intelligence to unite the fastening.
When united and turned out in the
pasture with the cattle the boy affects
all OF their traits. He jumps about
in the field like a frisky lamb,
drinks water out OF the creek,
and eats grass. He developed his
liking for grass and roots several years
ago and seems to prefer such food to q
carefully prepared meal in his fathers
dining room.
The boys parents are very poor and
were unable to do anything to assist the
unfortunate lad, so they have allowed
him to grow up in the grssn fields with
the live stock. BY reason Of his pscu.
liarities the boy has been called the
wild boy of Livemore for the last 10
yesrs, and, the little children
have the +, most sabject fear Of
him. When loose h6 will
climb fences and chase them
down the road, but he has never been
known to harm any Of them. When he
catches them he looks them over seri-
ously and seems to regard them with
simple interest.

Pomona Progress: To all those who
are planning trips to distant places this
year, the momentous question arises,
(which way will you travel at night,
head first or feet first?" It is subject
on which people accustomed to travel
differ widely in theory and practice.
1t is generally acknowledged that
If the head is toward the engine
the motion of the train has a tend
ency to drive the blood away from that
organ to other parts OF the body; but
there are other things to be taken into
consideration. which some regard of
more consequence than the effect of the
motion OF the train on the circulation OF
the blood.
The majority OF travelling men sleep
head foremost on q well ballasted road,
and feet foremost on q road where the
cars sometimes run ON the track and
sometimes on the ties; head first be-
cause 1t is pleasanter, and feet
first because 1t is less dangerous.
In case OF collision the knees would
give" and lessen the force of the
shock, and the traveller would not be 40
apt to lind his brains scattered about
among the wreckage of the train. Some
travellers sleep on either the right or left
side and have their berth made IN 40
that they will face the aisle. no matter
which way their feet point. Every per.
son must weigh for himself the question
of life and comfort, and decide whether
he will 60 east this year head frst or

Of Lower California, is in the city.
Judge Lamadrid has stores established
at Real del Castillo and Juarez. and says
that the latter camp is rapidly coming
to the front as gold producer. The

this city and Elder & Crawford are in
active operation, and money is made
even in working over the tailings from
old workings. The camp produces
placer gold only.
Matters are very quiet at the Real,

securing control of the San Nicolas and
San Francisco mines there, and the old
Mexican element which prevented the
development OF those great properties
has been forced out. Louis Mendelson
