A GORILLA IN KANSAS.
Men Chased and Cattle Killed by a
Ferocious Animal

Ferocious Animal.
From the Philadelphia Press
Kansas City. June 1S.-The people liv-
ing along Cedar Creek, in Johnson County.
Kansas, near Olathe, are greatly excited
over the antics of some strange animal
that rOams the woods in that part of the
county. Robert Saunders, a colored man.
ran into Olathe last Wednesday night
and said that he had been chased for over
mile by hideous monster that APP
peared to be half man and half devil. The
next morning a man employed on the farm
of Edward Lane, living half a mile north
OF Olathe, reported having seen the ami
pal
Since then several others have described
the animal as they saw it in the woods.
All agree upon the description. and say
that it appears to be fully seven feet tall
with heavy covering of brown hair and
II is perfectly naked it stands in a half
STOPPING posture with long arms crossed
over its breast, but when startled or in
pursuit it gets over the ground rapidly
with swinging gait.
robert Wilson, who runs dairy farm
~ miles northwest of Olathe, re-
ports that the monster had killed two
cows and a calf belonging to him. He came
into Olathe for assistance and heavily
armed party of men is now securing the
woods for the strange beast. Two of the
party have returned and say that while
they did not find the animal, tracks We're
seen near where calves were killed. and
say that the carcasses were so torn and
mangled that they must have been killed
by most powerful animal 1t is thought bv
many to be an African gorilla that has es-
capped from some travelling menagerie, and
the people fear that it will kill human
beings

met one Of the attractions Of tho rair.
a South Sea Islander. met him so
suddenly that we both sat. down for q
moment, and he said something in a
s turin tongue that sounded very mucn
like an English word Of four letters.
with which graphic language is often
embelished. I did not care to answer,
indeed I lhurriedly left the spot, and de-
clined afterwards to visit the South
Sea Island reservation or see the war
dance which they give every hour.
!. Apropos of dancing, there being
large party to keep each other in coun-
tenance,. we went. into the streets Of
Cairo to see the dancing which had
been described in such forid language.
Well, it would have made dear depart.
ed Banum wild with joy, it was such
a fake, excuse the slang. I expected
to see oriental beauties who sWayed
dangerously like lilies on their stalks.
Swayed nothing! They were coarse,
gross, lazy girls who had been picked
up anywhere, and deco 'ated with cheap
bangles; they gyrated in clumsy antics
about as gracefully as COW would
dance. They were too stupid to flirt,
and as the audience was composed
mostly of women and girls, they didn't
attempt to, and as for any immortality
there was none, the dance was stupid
and vulgar, a repelling process that is
safeguard against seeing it again.
AS a catch-penny feature OF the Flais-
ance, it is to be condemned.

THE VISION OF BIRDS.
1t Is Often Microscopic and More
..s.- Acute Than Mans.

1T Is Often Microscopic and More
Acute Than Mans. "a
Birds have very acute vision, perhaps
the most acute of any creature, and the
sense is also more widely diffused over
the retina than is the case with man;
consequently a bird can see sideways
as well as objects in front of it. A
bird sees-showing great uneasiness
in consequence a hawk long before it
is visible to man. So, too, fowls and
pigeons find minute scraps Of food,
distinguishing them from what appear
to us exactly similar pieces Of. earth or
gravel.
Young chickens are also able to find
their own food--knowing its position
and how distant it. isas soon as they
are Matched, whereas child only very
gradually learns either to see or to
understand the distance Of objects.
Several birds apparently the young
of all those that nest on the ground
can see quite well directly they come
out Of the shell, but the young Of birds
that nest in trees or on rocks are born
blind and have to be fed. Chambers

FLOODS OF RAIN IN DESERTS.

the Drought.

While Wheat Fields Suffer- From
the Drought.
The last place on earth from which
one would expect to hear of railroad
washouts, especially at this season Of
the year, is Arizona, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. That region has
a reputation for aridity that is IN
equaled on the continent. It is gener-
ally considered a land Of perpetual
drought. It scarcely ever rains there
at any season, and in the summer time
rain is regarded as something IN
natural. as Is I'm .... I'D. .--.
:" Yet it has been raining like fury dur
ing the last few days in Arizona. The
dOwnpOur has extended to New Mex
leo, and there have even been heavy
showers on the MOhave desert in Cali
fornia. In Arizona the freshets have
been so violent that numerous washouts
have occurred along the line of the
Southern Pacific. Between ella Bend
and Lordsburg, N. NJ, track, trestles,
entertainments and bridge approaches
have been carried away. Three engines
have been ditched and temporarily dis
abled. In consequence of these mishaps
trains are delayed and traffic generally
interrupted. IL =.
As usually happens in arid lands the
recent rains in the desert region, be-
tween Yuma and Deming have per-
taken Of the nature Of cloudbursts.
The tempest breaks with sudden fury
and the rain falls in torrents, swelling
eyry dry ravine into the proportions
of rushing streams. This is why the
tracks have been damaged in so many
places. At numerous points the entire
roadbed, to a depth of from two or
three feet, has been washed away.

the train started with him a passenger.
He was so small that the conductor
did not notice him until the train

then made some inquiry about him,

''Who is with you?'

"Where do you want to go?' The

| answer was so blurred in baby talk
| that no one in the crowd of passen-

| make out whether the little fellow
said "Dunkirk'' or ''Dunreith." Neither
could the boy speak his destination
