A SALINE SHOWER.

POcatellO Citizens Are Sailed Down From
the Clouds and There Is Much Marveling.
Friday was balmy spring day. Late
in the afternoon drizzling rain blew
up, carried on a wind directly from the
south. Itwas of peculiar whiteness, and
after it had passed every one who had
happened to have been out in it and
who wore a dark suit of clothes or a
dark hat noticed that clothes and hat
were covered with thousands of tiny
white specks. Later it was noticed that
every window in town looking to the
south was also covered with white spots.
cit has been raining mud" said ev-
cry one who noticed the phenomenon at
first, but later some Of the curious tried
tasting the spots. They had distinctly
salty flavor, and analyses made later by
druggists proved that they were salt.
The question now is, Where did the
salt come from? There can only be one
answer-from the Great Salt lake, near
ly 800 miles south in Utah. 1t must
have been a warm day over the Great
Dead sea when a strong south wind
swept over it, catching up the salty va
por and sweeping it north to Idaho and
finally bespattering the clothes and win.

Shy of Leper Wings Money.

Three $50 bills and seven SO bills of
Uncle Sans good money are causing
City Treasurer McCreary more anxiety
than all the millions that roll into his
strong boxes in the course of a year.
This $130 was the property of the unfor-
tunate japanese leper, John Charles
Wing, who died in the Municipal hos
pital last January. The money was the
savings of years as cook. After his death
it was subjected to high pressure steam
disinfection, and as the Jap technically
owed the city about $500 for care in the
hospital it was turned into the city
treasury. Mr.. McCreary is bit dubious
about the bills despite the disinfection,
and he doesn't know whether to deposit
the bills in bank for general circulation,
lock them up in the vaults or send them
to Washington to be destroyed and re-
placed by new ones. s.-Philadelphia Rec

A Prussian Invents Kind of Paper Which
Can BE Used For NefariOus Purposes.
A Prussian named Lautz has invented
a writing paper which will be heard of
In the criminal courts before long 1t is
of the same appearance as any other
writing material, but discovery as to
its properties has caused the German
government to declare its manufacture
illegal, and patent has been refused.
1t is composed of parchment, glue, as
bestus and the ordinary ingredients used
in the manufacture Of fine paper, such
as is used for checks, bonds and certifi-
Gates of stock. The moist sheets imme-
diately after leaving the rollers for the
first time are placed in bath of con-
centrated sulphuric acid, to which dis
titled water has been added.
After having been pressed between
glass rollers the sheets are succesSiVely
bathed in pure water, a solution of am
monia and finally in water again. The
process is completed by hard pressing,
passing through felt rollers and drying
between polished and heated metal cyl
inders. The popularity Of this innocent
looking paper is that writing, no matter
how acidiferOus the ink, can be readily
washed off with water after any length
of time. Such material would be dam
gerous in the hands of forgers Although
prohibited by the German government,
quantities of this paper will no doubt be
manufactured for nefarious purposes

An Advertising SwindIe,

A lady in this city recently answered
one of the advertisements which prom
ised $50 to $75 week, the work to be
done at home. She learned that the
money was to be made by the sale of a
certain polishing stuff, and she was to
advertise for agents, to whom she would
furnish the goods. She actually expend-
ed $50 for the first installment of stock
and outfit, and some more money in adj
vertising for agents. One woman came,
engaged herself as agent, took away a
quantity of the stuff and never came
back. The rest the Troy lady has on her
hands, and it is absolutely worthless. -

The accident on CranstOn street last
Saturday by which n little child was
crushed under the wheels of a car was
heart rending, hut il seems to be one of
those catastrophes that occasionally
happen and that are we'll nigh unavoid-
able. The law, however, that required
the body of the unfortunate little one to
lie in the gutter for nearly two hours
awaiting the arrival of the medical ex-
aminer is unfit to be on the statute books
of civilized state; of course this may
be an extreme case but others like it are
liable at any time to arise, and the sooner
our General Assembly brings the law
within the bounds of humanity the bet
ter the people of the state will be pleased.

The success attending the opening Of
the supply kitchen in Providence recalls
the effort to maintain similar establish
ment on Delaine street, Olneyville, two
years ago. The enterprise was started
by benevolent lady and failed only
because the people of this section would
not support it. It's object was misunder-
stood and it was Stunned by the people
it was designed to benefit. who conceived
the false notion that it was in some way
a disgrace to- patrOnize it. If this kitchen
had been in existence during the past
winter it would have been appreciated
and would have proved a blessing to this

M'GOVERN'S QUEER FIND.
A Chicago Policeman Discovers a "What Is

a Chicago Policeman Discovers a wv nat Is
1t" From the Worlds Fair In a Sewer.
While at work in a connection of the
city sewer at WOodlawn police station
City Police Plumber Pat McGovern cap
tured queer animal which is not alto
gether beast or fish. 1t is inches long,
has head like an alligator, with short
feet and fishlike tail
McGovern thinks it is one of the
Worlds fair aquatic exhibits which es-
capped from the Fisheries building last
summer when a section of glass was ac-
cidentally broken. 1t was put ON exhibi
ton in a bucket of water at the police
station, where scores of persons went to
see it. The what is it, wriggled
around in the bucket all day, to the
great delight of McGovern and Lieuten-
ant Larkin.
McGovern was at work in the sewer
under the station when he saw some
thing that looked like fish drop out of
the pipe and fall at his feet. He is not
a drinking man, and he says it is a good
thing he is abstemious in his habits. At
first he was frightened at the hideous
looking object but it was only for mo-
ment. He held his light close down to
the strange animal and saw that it had
feet. 1t was of a greenish color, and
McGovern's first impression was that it
was some species Of reptile.
He clambered out of the hole and
went to Lieutenant Larkin's Office to
tell him of his find.
"Oh, l see," said the lieutenant,
you've been drinking again. The next
thing you'll be finding white elephants
in the sewer.
I'm not drinking man," said Nc
Govern, land l only ask you to come
and see for yourself. 1t is neither fish,
beast nor reptile, and who knows but it
may be the missing link that scientists
have long been looking fOr?"
The lieutenant accompanied Mccoy
ern to where the strange object was ly-
ing. When he saw it, he was convinced
that the plumber had not been dreaming
or drinking. a pail was brought from
the stOrerOOm and into it was shoyeled
McGOvern's find The news soon spread
through WoOdlawn, and there was a
stream of persons going in and out Of
the station all day.-Chicago Herald.

The Rottom of His Mine Fell Ont,

Joseph Smith, a miner, had narrow
escape from death some days ago. He
was at work in the bottom of shaft,
and at the depth of 30 feet from the sur
face his pick struck through into an old
drift or cave. Smith had barely time to
drop his tools, clutch the rope and shout
to his partner on the surface when the
entire bottom dropped out of the shaft
1t is not positively known how deep the
old excavation is. A bucket was low
cred over 40 feet from the spot where
the cave took place without touching
bottom. (Cal.) Telegram.

BaltimOre's COcOanut Tree.

The cocoanut tree in the palmhouse at
Druid Hill park has attained height
of over 90 feet, and it has become neces-
sary to guy it with strong wire rope. In
a year or two it will have to be cut off.
1t is a graceful tree. Mr.. W. d. Hamil-
ton, the gardener at Druid Hill park,
raised it. Fourteen years ago he plant
ed a cocoanut at Patterson park, which
in a month or two sprouted and grew.
Three years ago, when the tree was %
feet high, Mr.. Hamilton planted it in
rich soil in its present position. 1t is
said to be the largest artifcially grown
cocoanut tree in the United States. A
date palm planted in the earth near the
cocoanut tree has leaves 20 feet long
and circumference of s feet 1t is a
magnificent plant, said by many to be
the finest ever seen III q conservatory 1t
has only been planted out two years.
