The,everage rainfall in the state in
Auguss did not exceed three-fourths of

amcunts In this month. In July there
was deficiency of QUE aud three-fourths
inches. There was very light rain,

and pastures afford little or no feed for
stock. 1he fact that in a few localities
rain has been slightly more abundant
and crops are consequently somewhat
better, does not disprove the general
state nent.
There is little doubt that wheat will be
largely fed to stock the coming winter.
We hope TO have estimates soon of the
proportion OF the crop. One country
miller writes us thai he has already
ground ifteen hundred bushels for feed.
Thrtelers returns of more than GS, 900

respondents, shsw that the average
yield per acre in the state is 1855. The
average in the southern counties is 1878
bushels, 10 the central 1850 bushels, and
IA the northern 10 05 bushels.
The total number Of bushels Of wheat

At the Top Of Pixies Peak.

The view from the peak once be-
held, can never be forgotten. The
first sensation is that OF complete
isolation. The silence is profound.
The clouds are below US, and noise
lessly break in foaming billows
against the faces Of the beetling
cliffs. occasionally the silence is
broken by the deep roll OF thunder
from the depths beneath, as though
the voice Of the Creator were utter
ing stern edict Of destruction. The
storm rises, the mists envelop us,
there is rush of wind, rattle Of
hail, and we seek refuge in the hotel.
Pause moment. before entering and
hold up your hands. You can feel
the sharp tingle OF the electric cur
rent rs it escapes from your finger
tips. The storm is soon over, and
you can see the sunbeams gliding
the upper surfaces OF the white
clouds that sway and swing below
you, half way down the mountain
sides, and completely hide from view
the world beneath. The scenery
shifts; like drawn curtain the
clouds part, and, as from heights of
another sphere, we look forth upon
the majesty Of the mountains and
the plains An ocean OF ineXtricably
entnngled peaks sweeps into view.
Forests dark and vast seem like
vague shadows on distant mountain
sides. A city is dwarfed into the
compass of II single block; water
courses are mere threads of silver
laid in graceful curves upon the green
velvet mantle Of the endless plains.
The red granite rocks beneath our
feet are starred with tiny flowers, SO
minute that they are almost micro
scopic, yet tinted with the most
delicate and tender colors. The
majesty of greatness and the mystery
of minuteness are here brought face
to face. Ii is in vain that one strives
to describe the scene. Only those
who have beheld it can realize
its grandeur and magniticence.-

The Olneyville tribune. (Providence, R.I.) 1893-189?, 1894-07-14

One special feature OF this speci-
men which Taxidermist Rowley called
attention to was the beautiful wrin-
kles in the skin. These might not
ordinarily be looked upon as great
attractions. but Mr.. Rowley says that
Bombe is the first rhinocerous in
this country to enjoy the distinction
Of having wrinkles in his hide after
death. and that they were put in
there only after the greatest trouble.
Long iron rods had to be placed un-
der the skin in the places where the
ridges were i'm life, in order 10 keep
the wrinkles from being smoothed
out.
One Of the most attractive cases to
the many children who visit the mu-
scum is that which contains the
stuffed bodies OF their two former
pets at the old Xoo-Crowley and his
fiancee, Kitty, the two chimpanzees
which died in captivity at the Park.
Crowley has been mounted and on
exhibition for some time, though
Kitty is a comparatively recent addi-
ton to the museum. She died, it
will be remembered, Of broken
heart, and incidentally, n complica-
ton OF other and more serious bodily
ills, in 1880.
New features are constantly being
added TO the museums stock, and
when tie new wing is opened next
year, and the capacity OF the building
is increased M IL will be there will
be many new collections TO be seen
there. At any rate, it will even now
well repay any one TO make II visit to

present trip is from the central part
OF the western coast down to the
southern. In this expedition he will
take in many cities OF the ancient
clifr-dwellers, as well IA those OF the
Aztecs, and his collection is expected
to be very fine one. The specimens
from his first trip have arrived at the
Museum, but they have not been un-
packed as yet, for there is no room
to exhibit them. They will be shown
when the new building is opened.
But the most interesting part OF
the work at the Museum-at least,
the most interesting to the general
public-is that which Is carried on
down on the ground floor in the tax
idermists' department, and in the
room OF the PSYCHOLOGISTS - that is
where the skeleton and bones are
mounted. There the work OF pre-
pairing for exhibition, the animals
which die at the Park Zoo, and those
which are presented u the Museum,
Is carried on. A force OF men is kept
constantly at work under Taxider-
mist John Rowley, cleaning. prepar-
ing and mounting the skins Of speci-
mems for exhibition. II was TO this
department OF the Museum that the
carcass OF the murdered Tip was
given after the vicious old brute had
received his quietus. The work OF
pre- pairing the hide and bones OF the
former pet OF the Central Park Zoo
and the terror Of his keepers, was n
difficult one and will take many
months.
Tip was skinned at once in the cage
where he was killed, and the flesh
carried off and dumped into the river.
The skin was taken TO the museum to
be prepared for mounting, while the
bones were sent into the country to
be macerated. They now lie in tanks
OF water up in this State near Scoha-
rie, slowly rotting of the flesh, TO
prepare them for being mounted.
The hide was Mt once taken to the
basement OF the museum and force
OF men set at work pairing il down for
mounting. An important group OF
moose was in preparation when the
skin OF old Tip arrived, so his mount
ing had TO be delayed. The skin, when
cleaned and thinned down somewhat
with drawer-knIves, was put away in
the cellar to soak in nm antiseptic So
luton. The moose group will occupy
the attention OF the taxidermists for
some months to come, so it is not ex-
pected that the work OF mounting
Tips hide will begin until the first Of
The Olneyville tribune. (Providence, R.I.) 1893-189?, 1894-07-14

next year. Then il will be put through
ut once, and will be on exhibition
early next Spring.
The skeleton Of Jumbo, Barnum y
giant elephant, has been loaned to
the Museum by james A. Bailey Mr..
Barnum : successor, and his mounted
hide will soon be in the Museum rs
well. II is thought to be very doubt
ful IL either will be taken away again.
When the new wing is opened next
year the present position OF the buff
falo group in Mammal Hall" will
be given over to the exhibition Of
these two elephants. Jumbo was an
African elephant, while Tip was II
specimen OF the I;,dian variety, and
both are very fine examples Of their
different breeds.
One Of the finest and most recent
additions to Mammal Hall" is the
group Of butTaloes. This is composed
of seven specimens, including differ
ent ages and sexes of the American
bison all mounted in n life-like man
ner, with accessories and surround
ings made from studies made ON the
plains, and all inclosed in huge
glass case. The big COW with the
little calf by her side was presented
to the museum by Buffalo Bill. These
two specimens died at his Wild West
camp at Erastina, ). l., two or three
summers ago.
As II companion piece TO the buffalo
group, the taxidermists are now at
work on group Of moose. This will
be the masterpiece OF the collec-
tion, and Mr.. Rowley is taking won
derful pains TO have IL correct i'm
every particular. There will be seven
specimens in this group also, and all
but two were secured by museum ex-
petitions. One big COW was presented
to the museum by DIR. Edgar A.
Mearus, surgeon in the United
States Army, stationed ut Fort SMELL
ing, in Minnesota. Mr.. John l.. Cox,
of Philadelphia, presented second
COW to the collection.
The largest specimen of all, an
enormous bull with antlers spreading
five feet from tip to tip, was shot 10y

the wilds OF the Province OF New
Brunswick, last October.

The Dsadiisst Poison.

To the best Of our knowledge the
most deadly poison is that which was
discovered by Professor Frazer, OF
Edinburgh, Scotland, and known as
shophanthidin. He separated it from
the African poison plant, shophan-
thus hispidus, by means of ether and
alcohol. AS little as a oue-thousand
millionth part OF an ounce Of crystal
lied shophanthidin produces a dis
tinctly injurious effect upon the
heart, and a very small quantity is
fatal. Another deadly poison is cy-
anogen gas, the principal ingredients
of hydrocyanic or prussic acid. At
ordinary temperatures it is simply "A
gas, but can be condensed by cold
and pressure into n thin, colorless
liquid, and becomes solid at thirty
degrees Fahrenheit. The inhalation
Of its gaseous state Of most minute
quantity would cause instant death.
One Of the most deadly poisons is ar
seninretted hydrogen, or arsine, which
is formed by decomposing an alloy Of
arsenic and zinc with sulphuric acid.
1t is colorless gas, possessing n
fetid odor of garlic, and acts as
most deadly poison. Adolph Ferdi-
nand Gehlen, chemist born about
l775 ut Butow, in Pomerania, was the
discoverer OF it. While experiment.
ing with it at Munich, on July 18th,
he inhaled single bubble Of the pure
gas and died in eight days from the
effects. The accident occurred
through his smelling at the joints of
his apparatus to discover flaw.
Others engaged in chemical opera
tions have died from the effects Of this
poison in three days Brooklyn
