CHANCES OF GETTING KILLED.
In u Twenty-four Mile Railroad Ride
They are 1 in 1 ,491 $40.

} neAy are III sAOi isCAO'
| If a man takes a ride of the average
! length. which is almost twenty-four miles,
! in railway train in this country, what is
his chance of getting killed? asks the
Pittsburg Times. According TO the IN
terestng report of the interstate COM
merce commission, just out, it is one
chance in ,49I, $40. Ii a young man OF
20, Tilted by his sweetheart, should de-
termine to commit suicide without sin by
getting accidentally killed in a railway
az cident he might do 1T. Certainly he
might do it. Ii he were to get on train
as passenger and ride, ride, ride at the
rate OF thirty-tiVe and one-half miles an
hour, day and night, every hour OF every
day and every day in the year, ii he had
average luck he would eventually get
surcease from the gnawing pain at his
heart somewhere in the course of passing
over 81, ,542, 2S2 miles, for according to
these official figures, one passenger Is
killed for every 50, ,542, 2S2 miles that
passenger is carried. According to the
same he would be injured in some way
eight and three-quarter times, or eight
times and a bad scare. It is little bet
ter than one chance III three that he
would come TO an untimely grave in con-
sequence of collision. but if he preferred
TO have the train run OFT the track TO kill
him ne would have only one chance In
nine to be satisfied. His possible jour
ney would have taken him around this
weary world and past the place where
she went to housekeeping with the other
fellow ,42l times, and would have cost
him, at the rate of cents a mile and
81 90 a night for sleeping berth, 81 ,Oo7,-
Ol6 IS. In this melancholy state of mind
he wouldn't care how his shoes looked,
and the porter needn't disturb his grief
for daily quarter.
And when, after all his journeying to
his death, and glowering out of the win
dow at every unsympathetic rock that
might have fallen before the engine and
cursing every vagrant browsing COW that
might have trespassed on the track and
didn't, he nnds at length the golden key
that opens the palace of eternity" it is a
bigger chance than there are figures for
that he will not be ready to go. For the
scenery Of this world becomes interesting
alter awhile, even to one smitten with
disappointment and angry with all crea-
ton. There are many pretty acquaint-
ances to be picked up in the course Of
long journey, also, and time is a great
healer of love sickness, even though
slow one. He would be in his 135th year
by the time his desperate purpose was
achieved, and he would have more sense
than he started with. He would have
had leisure to reflect from time to time
on how his false sweethearts false teeth
became her now; how her rheumatism
was, whether gray hair and spectacles
changed her much, and how she man
aged with those great-grandchildren of
hers

A Question of Sex.

"Yonder she comes '' said tall, lank
man, who was sitting on trunk in the
shade of the station building.
"Yonder comes who?" asked a fat
good-natured appearing man who sal
near him.
''The train we've been waiting for
nearly half an hour" said the first
speaker.
"Why do you say 'yonder she comes p
asked the other.
"Well, that's the customary way Of
speaking of train, isn't it? And Gus
tom is what fixes things. Everybody
says 'yonder she comes in speaking of a
trains approach"
"Well, insist you should have said
'yonder he comes,' +" said the fat man.
"Well, Pll agree to leave it to the sta
ton agent and see if it wouldn't have
been better for you to have said 'yondei
he comes,' added the fat man.
Both agreed to it, and when they ha6
found the station agent the fat man
asked: What is the sex of the train
just drawing near to the station ?n
Its mail train," answered he.
And the lean man went out and bought
good cigar for the fat man.-Peck's Sun

FROM ANIMAL TO PLANT
A Curious Object Found Only in Ne
Zealand.

A Curious Object Found Only In New
Zealand.
The most curious of all objects in New
Zealand is that which the Maoris call
'aweto," says Chambers Journal One
is uncertain whether to call it an animal
or plant In the first stages of its exist
ence it is simply caterpillar, about three
or four inches in length, and always found
in connection with the rata here, a kind of
Towering myrtle. IL appears that when
it reaches full growth it buries itself two
or three inches under ground, where, in
stead of undergoing the ordinary chrys-
alis process, it becomes gradually trans
formed into plant, which exactly fills
the body and shoots up at the neck to
hight of eight or ten inches. This plant
resembles in appearance diminutive
bulrush, and the two, animal and plant,
are always found inseparable. One is apt
to relegate it to the domain of magma
ton, among dragons and mermaids; but
then its existence and nature have been
accepted by the late Frank Buckland.
| How it propagates its species is a mys-
terry. One traveller, after describing its
dual nature, calmly states that it is the
! grub Of the night butterfly. If so, then
the grub must also become butterfly, or
what becomes of the species? One would
| be ready to suppose that the grub does
really so, and that some fungus finds the
cast-off slough congenial quarters for its
! growth. But as far as present observa-
! ton goes the grub never becomes a but
terhy. but is changed in every case into a
| plant.

Will Have Building at the Midwin-
ter Fair.
It is now certain that Northern and
Central California will have a separate
building at the Midwinter Fair in San
Francisco, in which to make a grand dis
play of the products of the best portion of
the State. Several counties have already
determined upon this plan, and its sue
cess is now assured.
on Tuesday joint meeting OF the COM
missioners from Solano and Napa coun-
ties was held at Fairfield. atwhich a reso-
luton was adopted tavoring the PROPOSE
ton and guaranteeing that these counties
would pay their share Of the cost of the
building.
Sacramento and Colusa counties have
already given their assent and appointed
representatives. Yolo county will take
the matter up on Monday. Placer, SUIT
ter, Yuba and Butte will also act the
first OF the week. Each county will Sc
lect representative and meeting will
be held in San Francisco on Wednesday
next to select site, adopt plans and let a
contract for the building.
The movers in this matter are working
with commendable zeal and meeting with
gratifying success. In adopting plans
for the building, they should take into
consideration the fact that after the sue
cess OF the undertaking is clearly de-
monstrated, other counties that are now
slow 10 move will want TO come in. They
should therefore provide building large
enough to take in all the counties OF
Northern and Central California that wish
to exhibit. Southern California, by its
determination to have separate building,
has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest
OF the State, and the challenge should be
promptly accepted and a display made
that VIII demonstrate the imme nse supe-
riority of this section.

Wright leaped from the wagon on Sixth
street and made break for liberty. He
was caught, however. and the pair landed
in Jail, and on Wednesday they were
taken to Franklin for examination.
They pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and
were brought again to this city on Wednes-

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning, as
Bryan was taking them to the County
Jail, and when on Seventh street, near 1,
Thorp slipped his bracelets, struck the
officer on the head with them. and then
he and his pal broke and ran. Bryan
sent a couple of bullets flying after
Thorp, but never touched him. He did,
however, succeed in running him down,
but Wright escaped.
Thorp pretends to think lightly of
Bryan's skill with the pistol, but it is
fortunate for him that Bryan did not aim
to hit him, or he would probably be now

Japanese God of War.

In the Japanese capital there is a
gigantic image of woman, made OF
wood and plaster, and dedicated to
Hachiman, the god of war. In height it
measures fifty-four feet, the head alone,
which is reached by a winding stairway
in the interior of the figure, being large
enough to comfortably hold twenty per-
sons. The figure holds huge wooden
sword in one hand, the blade of the
weapon being twenty-seven feet long,
and ball twelve feet in diameter in the
other. Internally the model is fitted up
with an extraordinary anatomical ar
rangement which is supposed to repre-
sent the different portions of the brain.
4 fine view of the country is obtained by
looking through one of the eyes of the
figure. The admission to all parts of the
structure is two cents.
