CURIOUS SHOWERS.
Some Meteorological Wonders Tha
Have Frightened People.

From the New York Home Journal
In August, 1885, the inhabitants of
Bjelina, in Bosnia, were treated to a
rather unusual meteorological phenome-
non in the shape of a shower of fish,
which accompanied severe thunder
storm from the northwest The strangest
part of the occurrence was that the fish
were alive and resenbled Writings, and
that they were caught in cutters by the
children and brought in by wondering
peasants from the fields meadows and
high roads Possibly, had there been
scarcity in the neighborhood, this curl
Gus shower would have been hailed as a
direct Intervention of providence on be-
half of the Inhabitants but, as there
seems to have been no distress there is
no knowing what they thought Of It,
though It goes without saying that they
attributed II TO any cause but a natural
one. As a matter OF fact. the visitation,
though comparatively rare, is explcable
on perfectly natural grounds. The fish
were undoubtedly taken up into the air
by water-spout, carried along by atmos-
pheric currents, and dropped, as Il hap
pened, over the village OF Bjcllna They
had not been held in suspension" so 10
speak. for long because the fish were
alive and active when they fell to the
ground.

HORSES DIRT CHEAP.
The Trolley and the Bicycle Are Rapidly
Knocking Them Out.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Electric lines and bicycles have reduced
the average value of horses in the United
States from % to so per cent. In the
westeru-range country the loss is felt the
worst, for the surplus has formerly been
sold in the east. Now the east is a closed
market TO ordinary grades of horses, and
there is surplus everywhere. In cases OF
forced saleI prices are sometimes ridicu'
olusly low.
Recently number of carloads of range
horses of good grade were received by an
eastern road for shipment TO an eastern
terminal. The eastern road advanced the
charges Of the western lines, which had
forwarded the horses and added the amount
TO its charges for transportation. Arrived
IN the east there was no market for tne
horses and they were finally sold for 81
head. The eastern road was paid the en-,
tire purchase price and then was compelled
to charge $500 TO profit and loss for its ex-
perience in the horse business. In the tu-
ture 1t will advance no more charges on
horses.
The telling of this story brought out a
recent experience of railroad official 10
Kansas City. He wanted a good, small
sized riding horse for his boy and found
exactly what he wanted in a Kansas Guy
horse market. He wanted to ouy the horse
Immediately, but was informed that ne

The heir TO the throne Of Austria.
accompanied by prince and two
counts, will be here early in the aut-
umn, says the New York World. The
future head of the IIapsburgs, who is
coming to New York, is ArchdulSe
Francis Ferdinand d'Este.
lie is young unmarried man, and
one story has IL that he is travelling
around the earth In search of wife.
lie will not visit New York In his Off
cial capacity, but viii travel incognito.
This, however, does not mean that he
win slip into New York quietly and
put up at some obscure hotel under an
assumed name.
Recently Chevalier d'IIoppancourt,
captain of the Austrian flagship
Frundsberg, waited upon Mayor Gil
roy and informed him that the heir to
the throne was coming in a few
months. He added that the archduke
did not expect TO have his presence
officially recognized. There is no
doubt, however, that the archduke
will be the recipient of many hospitali-
ties in New York, and the fact that he
is unmarried as well as the scion of
royalty will add to the cordially of
his welcome.
just how Francis Ferdinand win re-
ceive these overtures Is a matter OF
conjecture Those who have met him
describe the future emperor as a sur,y
man of overbearing manners and much
density of mind
In Vienna he is said TO be without q
friend in the world. He is as unpopular
in the Austrian capital as his uncle,
the emperor, is idolized. He has none
of the amiability or suavity Of the lat
ter. and has been boycotted socially
more than once. His favorite amuse-
ment is hunting, and he likes TO get
into the cab of a locomotive and run
the engine He is powerful six-footcr,
tall and we'll proportioned, with a
brisk, determined manner.
One of the direful results of the
tragedy at Meyerling, when Prince
Rudolph committed suicide, was that
Il cast the line of succession upon
Francis Ferdinand. From mere no.
body who was much despised he ut
once became a person Of Importance,
and It was hoped that his new position
would effect some marked improve

scheme TO wake up the mind Of the
future emperor 1t was thought he
might see something that would set
