ALUMINIUM HORSE SHOES.
St Louis Renrblic.

st. Louis Republic.
Capt. E. Lambart, in writing on the
subject Of the recent experiments with
aluminium horse shoes in the Finland
dragons. says that at the end of six
weeks it was found that the aluminium
shoes lasted better and preserved the
foot more thoroughly than the iron
ones. The former are only One-third to
one-fourth the weight of the latter.
Their cost is certainly greater; but this
is to some extent compensated for by
the fact that very little charcoal is re-
Quired in shoeing, that there is no loss
in weight, and that the value of the old
metal is the same as that of the new.
In making the shoe some skill is re-
Quired, as the forging must be done at a
low but exactly regulated temperature
Taking into consideration the impor-
lance of light shoes, especially for
horses doing fast work, and the ad-
vantage of being able to carry larger
number OF spare shoes on a campaign
without increasing the load of the
wagon, and lastly, the probability of a
fall in the price of al minimum, Capt
Lambart thinks it safe to predict the
general introduction of aluminium for
the shoes of cavalry and artillery horses
in the near future.

~ Strange Resemblance.

About 1880 Bryce K. Blair, young
man of Carbonate, Penn, went to the
West to seek his fortune. For long
time he wrote home regularly, until in
the spring of 1884 he wrote that he was
going 10 Idaho, and from that time his
parents heard no more of him. AS time
passed on they grew more and more
anxious about him and did everything
they could think of to get some trace of
him, but all in vain. Finally his father
inserted an adyertiSementin a Salt Lake
paper early last spring, infinitely de-
scribmg the missing man, giving his age,
size. weight, bodily peculiarties, ETC.,
even to his being left-handed:
Shortly afterward the elder Blair re-
ceived Il letter from a party in Salt Lake
saying that the person advertised for re-
sided in Lander, Wyo.. and had been
living there for some eight or nine
years Blair went at once TO see his SON
He found that the Lander Blair was the
exact counterpart of his Sor in all re-
spects, of the same name, of the same
age to day, the same appearance; he
was even left-haNded. But he said that
he was born in Nebraska, where his pa
rents lived, and that he was in constant
communication with them. These two
Blair families, wh0se>sons are SO SINH
lar, cannot find that they are the least
relation to each other.

Killed nv Bees.

London Standard.
A most curious event occurred at
Nantes the other day. Lucien Petit.
seventeen years of age, while driving in
a cart drawn by a horse and donkey.
passed a garden in which there were
some forty beehives. Whether from
the excessive heat, or some other cause,
the bees swarmed out on the approach
OF the cart, and the lad had just time to
jump down and take refuge in a
ditch full of water when they attacked
the team. Maddened by the myriad
of stings, the poor animals galloped
away at a furious rate, followed by the,
bees. The donkey soon suecumbed, and
the horse survived only a very short
time. The lad in the ditch witnessed
this extraordinary scene, trembling with
fear. When the horse and dnnkeT were
dead the cloud of bees flew back to their
hives, and Lucien Petit, taking courage,
crept out OF the often and ran on to
Nantes, where, it aan easily be mag
ined, his story was scarcely credited,

AN UNWEsOoME VISITOR.
What a Woodchopper Found in
His Cabin on Returning Home.

Madeira Mercury.
"A. CourJner, a woodchopper on the
San Joaquin, about twenty miles east
of here, has recently had reason 10
think that some animal was making
visits to his camp. AT one time he had
procured from sheepman near by a
lamb. and, after killing and dressing it.
had hung a portion of the animal to
small tree near his cabin. In the morn
ing the carcass of the sheep was gone.
it having been taken away piecemeal,
until nothing but the sack IN which III
hung remained.
At another time he heard his dogs
barking loudly on the outside, and
presently one of them was heard to yell
Justify as it in extreme pain. After the
commotiOn subsidized Courtner went out
side and found one of his dogs lying
upon the ground whining piteouSly,
and blood flowing from dozen gaping
wounds. Courtner tried to save the
animal, but it was in vain, for by morn
ing it had Succumbed to its severe ham
ding.
Courtner wos at his wits end to de-
termine what kind of an animal his
nightly visitant was. Last Friday night,
however, he learned what kind OF a
beast it was whose visits were attended
with such disastrous consequences.
Upon the occasion in question Court
ner had just returned from his days
Wolk, about $3.50 in the evening, and as
usual flung the door of his cabin
open and walked in. At the moment
ne did so he was startled by seeing two
fiery eyes leveled on him from a COZ
ner of the rooE:. COurtner thought to
back out of the door was to invite an
attack, and to 60 forward was surely at
tended with danger. The wood chop
per had an ak in his hand, and, think
ing the best thing under the circum-
stances was to get in the first lick, threw
the implement at the crouchlng animal.
Unfortunately he missed, and a sec
ond later was scared half to death by
having the animal spring upon him.
Luckily the wildcat was as badly scared
as the man, and, releasing him, bounded
past him through the door.
lie had reached the limit OF his al
lotted time, for two of the dogs seized
him, and Courtner, recovering his self
possession, picked up the AK and mast
ened to the assistance of his trusty COM
panions. A well-dlrected blow upon
the head of the animal laid him low.
Beyond few scratches Courtner es-
capped uninjured. 1t was learned after
ward that the animal gained an entrance
through the window, which the wood
chopper on leaving that morning had
failed TO close,

like selling the May, and parties in
