It is crystallized more in the form Of

OF being sexagonal, it is of.the prismatic
form, having only three sides At one

SLUGGING MATCH.
Abbott and Bowen Fight 20 a Draw by
Main Strength and Awkardness.

NEW ORLEANS, May 7.-Stanton Abbott
of England, and Andy Bowen of New Or
leans fought for purse of 1850 at the
Auditorium. in the presence of 1000 people
tonight The fight was for ten rounds
pnly. mt the request of Attorney General
Cunningham. The exhibition was clumsy
and unscientific throughout. Abbott dis
appointed the spectators by the poor form
he displayed throughout, though the fight
was fast and furious at times The first
10 fifth round Abbott had the best of the
lighting. landing some left hand jabs with
telling effect.
Rounds five to nipe-Bowen evened up
matters. and in the home man landed a
heavy Highlander Oh the forehead and
fairly knocked the Englishman down. The
latter recovered quickly aud delivered
some lsft-hand punches, which did not do
much harm.
The tenth round was an exhibition of
fast fighting. Both men landed many
blows, without . single scientific one. At
the end of the tenth round the contest was
declared draw and the purse divided be-
tween the two fighters.

GARNER TALKED MONKEY.

Prof. R. L. Garner, the man who has
been studying the monkeyilanguagc,
thinks he has made q good deal Of
progress in II. He shut himself up in
an iron cage In Africa in a,thick for
est, and for days and nights listened to
the chattering apes and balloons
around him, trying to separate and
classify the sounds they made, In order
to understand their language. And 1t
II certain that he has learned q good
deal about monkeys.
Mr.. Garner, says the New York
Times, once met an organ grinder in
the street, and with him a monkey,
who was going through his dancing
and climbing tricks in duh way, as II
1t were not much fun, aud as if he
would very much rather be racing up
trees in his native forest in Africa
Mr. Garner pitied the poor little
monkey, and he stopped beside him
Pretty soon he gave the sound which
means, in monkey talk, something to
eat.
Inc monkey ne4ru lt AT once ana
looked up.
Mr.. Garner repeated it.
The monkey responded and Mr. Gar
ner bought q banana and gave it to
him. Then he made another sound,
which meant drink. and the monkey,
delighted, quickly showed that drink
would be well received. and some milk
was given to him. Then the poor lit
tie monkey tried 70 show his gratitude.
He jumped into Mr.. Gamers arms and
hugged him: he clung to him, although
his master, the Italian organ grinder.
pulled his chain TO get him away, and
when, at last, Mr.. Garner had to put
him down and leave him, the distressed
cries and means of the unhappy little
creature followed him for a long dis
lance.

CALL WITH THE ROADS.
They Have Law and at Their Say
Scalpers Will Have to Shut Shop.

CHICAGO, May THE Chicago scalpers
are not as yet paying any attention what
ever to the law against scalping. All of
them are keeping wide open and doing
business as usual. The railroads are not
yet decided az TO whether they will make
Eght on the scalpers or not. The law
leaves not a single loop hole for the
scalper If he is caught doing business. and
IL now remains TO be seen whether the
roads wish the scalpsrs TO continue or not,
for the remedy is in their own hands, if
they wish to do all the ticket selling them
selves.
The Burlington is. on Wednesday of this
week, to send a special train of Pullman
cars TO the Hot Springs in the Black Hills
country. The cars will carry about a
hundred of the leading physicians of the
west and northwest. who are to test the
various baths and visit the various springs.
The trip will occupy about one week, the
project Of the read being to prove TO the
medical profession the excellent properties
which it is claimed the springs possess.

FOND OF MOVING
! European Notables Who Spend
Much Time In Travel
/euntries That Arc the Resorts Of
Powerful Alfens-A Curious Fact
About the ReigninS Fam
ilies Of Europe.

There Is hardly country IN Europe
that Is governed exclusively by men OF
that nationality. This peculiar state
OF affairs arises from international
marriages, the accidents OF war and
voluntary changes Of residence by men
who are "down on their luck" n.
Waddington, who, though English by
birth, rose to be premier of France, is
mentioned by the Rochester Herald as
a notable example. Another French
statesman, Eugene Spuller, bears a
German name and was born of Bad
enese parents. Gambetta, the great
est public man France has had for
years, was of Italian parentage. while
Napoleon himself was a Corsican.
France has in torn given Italy several
,nen of ability and prominence, among
them Count de Launay, the famous
diplomat, who hated his own land of
France with an undying hatred. Eng
land has contributed the two admirals
named Acton to the Italian cabinet
list On the other hand, among the
men with Italian blood serving else
where there may be mentioned Caprivi,
the chancellor of the German empire.
Austria is especially rich in powerful
aliens Its prime minister, Count
Taafe, is an Irishman and q member of
the British peerage- Frenchmen, Ital-
ians and Englishmen are also very
plentiful in the Austrian public serv-
Spanish affairs. which accounts for
the prevalence Of Irish names in the
Spanish-American republics of South
America. Queen Christmas secretary
is tho Conde di Morphi, which but thin
ly dtsguises 1.-The good old Irish name
of Murphy" In England many men of
German descent are prominent, among
them Mr.. Goschen, Baron Henry
Worms and Sir Henry Drummond-
Wolff. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett is
the only American who figures in tho
list. It Is for their wives alone that
Europeans come to this country, not
Tor their statesmen. De Giers, the
man who guides Russia's destinies, is
German. and Grote, secretary OF state,
is a Swede. Gen. Melikof was of
Armenian parentage. Almost all ma
tiohoiAtfSo VI IofoPS oiio XhASO q iS"
OF Asia are represented in the Russian
public service. Many foreigners are
also serving Sweden.
But the most curious fact is that nu-
merous members of reigning families
are unable to speak the language of
the countries over which they rule
without a marked foreign accent.
King Christian of Denmark and the
queen are of German birth and educa-
ton, and their son, King George of
Greece, is also German by birth There
is a faint trace of French in the speech
of Sweden's King Oscar, descendant of
Marshal Bernadotte. The father Of
Leopold of Belgium was a German.
Even Emperor William, who does not
love English habits or the English peo-
pie, betrays in his speech the English
origin of his mother. It is also true
that the queen of England was wont to
to talk in German with Prince Albert,
and even uses that tongue to-day in
her family. The German origin Of the
English royal family is very plain to
be observed. and shows the persist
ence of the Teutonic type.

CALIFORNIA; MOUND BUILDERS
Stanford University Students Making an
Interesting Search.

Interesting Search.
The progressive students of Stanford
have begun scientific exploration OF
the great mound near Castro station,
some four miles east OF the university
grounds. This immense pear-shaped
mound of earth marks the last resting
place of hundreds, possibly thousands,
Of the simple-lninded children of ma
ture, who, in times long gone by, held
undisputed title to this beautiful
region, and with these crumbling
bones are inferred the implements, or
inaments, the remains of campfires, and
other evidences which tell the story Of
the daily life of these people who were
but are not.
The mound, says the San Francisco
Examiner, lies with it's longer axis
north and south. and measures four
hundred and seventy feet in length by
three hundred and twenty in width.
having an area of nearly two acres. In
height 1t ranges from about two feet
lat the southern end TO ten feet at its
highest point, near the northern ex-
Itremity.
The soil used In it's construction was
originally the ordinary black adobe,
such as is found in the fields surround
ing the mound, but now rendered
much lighter by the admixture of the
ashes from a Thousand campfres. It
was evidently taken from the territory
Immediately surrounding the mound.
and in process of time the great trench
thus formed became a swamp with its
characteristic growth of long grasses
and scrubby willows.
Diligent inquiry among the older
residents Of the neighborhood has
failed to elicit anything trustworthy
concerning its history. There is dim
tradition. indeed. thatwhen this region
was first visited by whites the mound
marked the site Of a fourishing Indian
village, but it is impossible to say just
how much credence should be given to
this story. Nothing as yet taken from
the mound would indicate that its
builders had ever had any dealings
with the representatives of civilization
