ORIGIN OF DEATH VALLEY.

Indian Legend OF Queen Beautiful
Cleopatra.
The Indian legend regarding the ORR
gin of Death valley is an interesting
one.
From the outer edge of this vast fur
nace-it is three hundred miles square
and one hundred and sixty feet le'nw
sea level-one may see far off, trtfAu-
lous through the shimmering waves of
heat, sort of butte that has the form
of ruined castle. The story goes that
in the old days, before the Amargosa
river ceased to water the valley, the
place was the site of powerful city
ruled by princess as beautiful as
Cleopatra and as imperious as Eliza
beth. An ambassador to the reigning
Aztec monarch described to her on his
return the glories of the kings palace
in the City of Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magnifcence
of her neighbor, she began the erection
of vast building. All the laborers
and artisans of the city were employed
and the work was pushed night and
day, for within twelve months the Az
tee ruler was to be her guest, and she
wished to welcome him to a palace as
splendid as his own. She exhausted
the resources of her realm, men went
mad with toll and hunger, and at last
the high priest protested. He was or
dered TO eXecu ton. and, dying, cursed
the city for the princess sake. That
night the earth shook and sank, the
river dried up, and the morning sun
poured down Z flood of heat. All per
ished, and now the ruined walls of the
palace alone remained.
The Amargosa, by the way, is most
cratic stream. 1t flows south ninety
miles from it's fountainhead in the
western Sierras, vanishes at Resting
Spring mountain, is in evidence again
for fifty miles, disappears for space.
then hobs up and runs along turbu-
lently for one hundred miles All trace
of it is lost at Death valley.-Geograph-

CAUSE OF SEA-SICKNESS.
The Malady Begins in the Ear-Deaf Mute
Free from 1t.

The Ma1ady Begins in the Ear-Deaf Mutes
Free from 1t.
Seasickness starts in the ear. In its
cavity are three small tubes, each bent
in circle and filed with fluid. The
three sit at right angles to each other,
like the three sides at the corner of a
room or box. Consequently, in what
ever direction the head is moved the
fluid in some one Of the tubes is given
circular motion.
hanging out into their tubes, from
their sides, are hairs of ella, which
connect with nerve cells and fbers that
branch off from the auditory nerve.
When the head moves the fluid moves,
the hairs move, the cells are fired off,
nervous current is sent up to the
brain, and feeling Of the heads pc
culiar motion is consequent
As for seasickness, this nerve cur
rent, on its way to the BRAIN in one
point runs beside the spot or ''center"
where the nerve governing the stomach
has it's origin. When the rocking of
the head is abnormally violent and pro-
longed the stimulus is so great that the
current leaks over into this adjoining
CENTER" and so excites the nerve rum
ming to the stomach as to cause wretch
edness and retching. Deaf mutes,
whose ear canals" are affected, are
never seasick.
But normally the amount of ear feel
ing which we get by reason of moving
our head in a particular direction comes
in a curious way to be measure of the
direction of the sound. The feelings
we get from our skin and muscles In
turning the head play similar role.
We do this so frequently for every
point that in time we learn to
Judge the direction of the sound by the
way we would have to turn the head
in order to hear the sound best There
after we do not have to turn the head
to get the direction, for we now remem
Der the proper feeling and know it.
This memory of the old feeling is our
idea of the present direction. If we
never moved our head we never could
have any such notion of the location of
sounds as at present-perhaps none

UNION PACIFIC CUT.

Judge Dundy Not Only Cuts tho Pay, but
Orders the Men to Continue at Work.
OMAHA, Neb. Jan 29.-Union Pacific
labor circles were stirred to their utter
most depths when the order of Judge
Dundy reducing wages was made pub
lie All employees in every department
are affected by the cut which amounts
to nearly 10 per cent. The action Of
the court was not altogether a. surprise,
although most of the men had
not to be disturbed. But Judge Dundy
went his brothers on the federal bench
one better and, not only enjoined the
men from striking, but cut their pay
and ordered them to work on the re.
duced pay.
The proposed schedule does not
change the rate of pay on the Ne
braska, Kansas and Colorado divisions
except on light eight-wheel engines,
sixteen and seventeen-inch cylinders
By the proposed schedule the wages
paid engineers, trenen, hostiers and
wipers will be reduced sixty one-hun-
dredths of a cent per mile. and the
wages, $50 cents per mile, will be in
excess of that paid by any of the
twenty-seven roads mentioned in the
statement except the Missouri. Kansas
& Texas and Great Northern.
In Nebraska on trainmen the cut ID
from S. to SIS per month, conductors
suffering least and brakemen most
When the amount of the reduction ear
iast be taken from a monthly salary,
reduction in mileage allowance is made
sufficient to cover the equivalent of the
cut on stated salaries. On all but three
Givisioiis or districts the sixth Wyoni-
ing district, the Shoshone and Nampa
mixed trains and the Nebraska passen-
ger division, the cut on trainmen runs
as high as in Nebraska, and on some of
the mountain divisions the reduction
in mileage will amount to considerable
more than So to SIS per month.
Telegraph operators are rerf1em-
bered, and, while no schedule is fixed,
as the receivers deem such wholly I'M
necessary, it is agreed that S45 shall be
the minimum wages per month paid in
Nebraska and Kansas, with proper
tional larger minimum west
The average reduction is 541 per
cent and the average reduction per
man AZ 50

BISHOP BoNACUM ARRESTED.

One OF His Priests, Tired of Ecclesiastical
Delay, Invokcs the Civil Courts.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 29.-All yester-
day this city was in fever of excite
nent, especially among the Catholic
population. This was caused by the
arrest of the ordinary of the Catholic
See, Right Rev. Thomas Bonacum.
The arrest was made on a charge
of criminal libel, preferred against
the episcopal prelate by one of his
priests, Father Corbett, of Palmyra, by
whom, With other priests, charges
against the bishop were some time ago
preferred to Mgr. Satolli. Father Cor
bett said that he had got tired of the
slowneSs of the ecclesiastical judicial
procedure and had determined to put
a stop to the persecution of himself
and his ordinary.
The particular charge on which the
arrest was made was based on a letter
recently sent to the parisEioners of
Father Corbett at Palmyra by Bishop
Bonacum while the priest was in st.
Louis. This letter, it is said, was
Il notification to the parishioners
OF Father Corbett that the &C.
CicSidSGiC was uIueT Ilic DiI, BUS
pended, and warning them to not hold
spiritual communion with him in any
way whatever, nor to take part in any
way whatever in any religious eXer-
cises or celebration that the priest
might choose to hold or conduct. APP
propriate penalties for actions contrary
to the course indicated in the notifica-
ton, are said to have been threatened.
This latter, Father Corbett alleges
in his complaint, is a direct breach of
the order of Mgr. Satolli, in which that
dignitary, by authority from Rome,
had restored the priest to his charge
after his suspension by the bishop,
which occurred in the early part Of
last summer. That restoration, he
AYERS, was to last pending the trial
of the case by Archbishop
Henncssy and the present suspension,
while being breach of Mgr. Satolli's
orders is positively without any cause,
and the priest further sets up his belief
that this last suspension was made to
villify, scandalize and defame him and
to crafty the bishops vicious dislike
of him. He winds up by saying that
he believes the bishop must be crazy.
