FREAKS OF NATURE.
Some Curious Things That Amuse and As

Some Curious Things That Anuse and As
tonish Men Of Science.
Natures freaks of fancy afford a
strange study. People are constantly
sending to the National museum sup
posed fossil animals and other oddities
which are in reality mere accidental
forms carved by water. A pebble in a
stream gathers about itself grains of
sand until an odd shaped lump is
made A favorite shape for such humps
is that of turtle with four legs, head
and tail, even the lines of the shell be-
ing sometimes distinct. Similar concre-
tons of carbonate of iron and clay as
sumo the appearance of petrifled pea
nuts. Break one, and you will always
find inside small spiral Wrinkle shell,
which has served as the nucleus. A
queer counterfeit of this kind, forward
ed to Washington not long ago, was an
alleged fossil foot of child, with lit
tie stocking on, the latter showing signs
Of wear on tho ball of the foot and on
the heel 1t was only conoretion, as
was likewise what appeared to be pet
rified oyster on the shell.
One eminent scientist has been anus
ing himself Of late by making imitation
spider webs out of quartz fibers. 1t is
we'll known that copper wire can be
drawn to f1neness much less than the
thickness of hair-in fact, to the di-
ameter of the ne-thousandth part of an
inch. But glass may be spun finer than
copper, while even the finest spun glass
is not SO fine as silk fiber. The latter,
however, is coarse compared with the
threads that can be obtained by melting
quartz under blowpipe and pulling it
out. Such threads may be reduced to
thinness of -millionth of an inch.
Drawn to such tenuity, they are invisi-
BILE under microscope of the highest
power. Yet they are stronger in proper
ton to their thickness than the best
quality of bar steel Enough thread like
this could be made from single cubic
inch of quartz to go around the world
65S times. A grain Of sand barely large
enough to be visible to the naked eye
would yield 1000 miles of thread.
Obviously Nc practical use can be
made of threads SO extremely fine.
Comparatively coarse ones were woven
into cobwebs by the scientist aforesaid.
They would not catch flies because they
were too slippery, having no gluten on
them, like real cobwebs. This difficulty
was got over by moistening straw in
castor oil and gently stroking the threads
with it; then the webs captured flies
fairly well. But cobweb is incomplete

experimenter to attract an arachnid to
his web by the buzzing of fly. 1t was
difficult to make fly buzz to order, but
a satisfactory imitation was produced
by permitting a tuning fork to vibrate
against the quartz fibers. This fetched
the spider right away. The scientist also
amused himself with blowing bubbles
of quartz, which looked exactly like
the most beautiful soap bubbles. -

Sergeant Smith. Detective Goodman,
Officer Lee and HERALD reporter at l
O'Clock this morning. Upon being
awakened and informed of the terrible
affair she showed but little emotion. She
seemed to care nothing for her dead
husband, although they had been mar
ried Is years. But few words of regret
passed her lips en- account of his death,
but the mention of Meyers name
changed her plain. mechanical look to
soft, solemn appearance, and now and
then she would cast her eyes toward the
floor and tell how cruellv he had treated
her. Her three children were awakened
by the intrusion of the officers. and they
heard the story of their fathers untime-
ly end without the loss of tear. The
Oldest is pretty little girl, perhaps 10
years of age On account of her deli
cate condition, Mrs. Fiske refused to 60
to the morgue to see the bodies.
To Detective Goodman she at first de-
nied that she had been upon intimate
terms with Meyers. She said that Mey-
ers had spent the evening there, giving
as the excuse that she wished protection
from her husband. She told of her hus-
bands flight from his foreign home and
how ill.treated her since coming to this
CITY.
Fiske was 40 years of age and Meyers
WAS 81.

Rulers of Horses and Men.

1t is instructive to compare the Wis

Manuscript of sThe school For Scandal

No printed version Of '"The School
For Scandal" was prepared for publica-
ton by Sheridan. He always alleged
that he could not supply one with which
he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made
the attempt, and Mr.. Fraser Rae has
discovered the copy containing his final
corrections of passages in many scenes,
which Moore must have overlooked, the
documents at his disposal having recent
ly been put into Mr.. Fraser Rae's hands
by Sheridan's descendants for the pur-
pose of writing complete biography Of
the great dramatist and orator. The
manuscript is imperfect, yet enough is
extant to show how effectually Sheridan
could add fresh charm to his polished
phrases. London Athen8um.

THE YOUNG DOCTORS.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF
THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE.
A Large Audience Present at this Grand
Opera House-An Interesting Pro-
CRANE Givsn-Those Who
Graduated.

A large audience was present at the
Grand opera house last night. at the
commencement exercises of the gradual
ing class OF the college of medicine OF
the University of Southern California.
The class was Robert A. Campbell,
Claremont; Clarence M. Haviland, New
York; Silas F. Johnson, Los Angeles;
D. Lee shrode, Duarte; Harry Smith,
Los Angeles.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with baskets of sweet peas. La France
roses and other flowers. as well as potted
plants. At the right hand side of the
stage wer seated the five graduates,
and in the center was DR.. J. P. Widney,
the president of the university. There
were also on the stage the various mem
bers OF the faculty of the medical school,
composed of representative physicians
of this section.
At the back of the stage was displayed
q golden banner emblematic of 1.-THE uni
vrsity colors, and across the upper left
hand corner were the six colore of the
six colleges of the institution.
The programme was opened with an
overture, Bronze Horse (Auber), by the
orchestra, after which prayer was Of
fered.
Chinese March (Parlow) was next
given, after which N. P. Conroy, A. M,
delivered the address on behalf of the
faculty. He dwelt especially upon the
scope OF medicine and the great advan-
tages which it offered.
After another selection by the orches-
ira w. L. Wade, M. D., the secretary,
presented the class for graduation. The
degrees were conferred by DR.. Widney,
who made short and appropriate ad-
dress. Polka de Concert Casey was
next given by the orchestra, and DR..
Joseph Kurtz came forward and deliv-
cred the valedictory address. He re-
ferred to the great progress made in
medicine within the past few years.
The speaker declared that many more
advances would be made were it not for
civilization. Civilization caused fashions,
and an observance of these caused peo-
pie to disobey the laws of nature. As
instances of this he mentioned the wear
ing of corsets and tight shoes. His re-
marks on the latter subjects were very
amusing.
He said that the graduates OF the local
college of medicine need not stand back
for those of any other school, no matter
whether of this country or OF
Europe. The graduates were briefly
addressed and advised in a general way.
The orchestra played again latter
which DR.. Widney made few remarks
regarding the ecope of the University OF
Southern California. Rev. Burt Estes
Howard delivered the closing prayer.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with q breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably and
was naturally very fretful. Tried several rome
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the .eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded
to try the Cur1cuRA REMEDIES, and bought

Some More of Madiean's Work.

A dispatch to Mondays Pioneer Press
from Redwood Falls says that prepertory
to the argument before Judge Wcbber
Monday afternoon Madigan had secured
the affidavits of thirty-fve prominent
citizens showing reasons for change of
venue. In the afidavits it is affirmed
that the county commissioners xnd
other county officers are all enemies Of
the affiant, and have been active and
officious in securing the indictments.
Saturday S. L. Pierce Of St. Paul, at
torney for the commissioners, arrived at
Redwood Falls and was startled to find
an afldavlt SO strongly wo1ded subscribed
to by the men whose signatures were at
tached to the paper. Mr.. Pierce reports
that when some of those men were snolx-
en- to by himself and the commissioners
and were asked to read over the aff;dav;t
they said that there was certainly mis-
take somewhere; that all they meant "a
do by affixing their names was to give
Madigan chance for change Of venue,
The work of Mr.. Pierce has been to 90
ever as many of the men who signed
Madigan's affidavit as he could reach,
and the majority Of them have given .
counter er-afidavit to the effect that they
signed the former under . complete mis-
apprehension Of its contents that while
they would be quite willing he should
have his trial somewhere else, they are
convinced that there is no disposition
among the legal voters Of the county to
Judge him before trial.
