in 1856 to 1860 they are thoroughly
agreed on one point-Rn utter indiffer-
encs to all claims of humanity and turn
a deaf ear to the calls OF fsmishing
women and children for bread. They
are aroused, as at present, to the suffer
ing Of mankind in the Old World and
ready TO intervene in their behalf, but
listen with perfect unconCern TO the suf'
fsrings Of people in their own country
and are prepared to meet their com.
plants with shot and shell. They re-
pine over the eviction under which pOo-
pie are driven from their homes In Ire

An interesting discussion has been car
ried ON in some of the French scientific
journals concerning a bowlder found near
Paris, the peculiar formation of which has
led 10 much difference of opinion on the
part of biologists as to the origin OF the
situations The bowlder is considered tc
be undoubtedly of glacial origin. but the
singuarity is exhibited of the, situations
being divided into three groups pointing
In different directions, yet with all the
members parallel to each other II seems
that the strata in which this bowlder oc-
CURED was of "A doubtful nature, SOME ge-
ologists considering it to be true unmodi-
fed drift as left by the melting glacier,
while Others regard 1t as of an alluvial
character and formed by the action of the
waters of the Seine, then much greater in
volume than at present, which worked over
and partially assorted the confused mass
of original drift.
The situations in this bowlder are de
scribed "a being somewhat different from
those of an undOubtcd glacial origin, and
are especially distinguished by gradually
increasing in depth toward one end, like
the cuneiform character Of ancient Assyri-
an inscriptions, which Is thought to indi-

With two and sometimes three engines,
our heavy train, now divided into two sec
tions, climbed up the high wall of the Sier-
ra Nevada. We passed through the mag
niiceut scenery of Shady run, Blue can
yon and Giant aud Emigrant gaps In run
ming l07 miles we had climbed nearly 1000
feet, sometimes over very steep grades. Be
fore we reached the summit snow sheds
began to appear and soon became practi.
cally continuous.
1t was the month of May, and the noun.
tains were still covered deep with snow.
We rode through 40 miles Of these wooden
tunnels, from whose windows we could
now and then catch glances of wild wastes
Of snow covered mountains and at other
times of forests of pine and fir trees. With
out these sheds it would be impossible to
operate the road in winter. They are built
in the most thorough manner-often upon
solid foundations of masonry-and are sepa-
rated by iron plates into sections to guard
against the spread OF fire.
There are automatic electric fire alarms
in one OF the longest sheds, and an engine
with tank close ut hand is kept ready to
food any section that should catch fire.
The sheds are patrolled and guarded in a
careful manner. Such attert ION is due not
only to the passenger and freight traffic
which the road conducts, but to the value
of the sheds, which average from SS,O 600 t.
sl2, 900 per mile. Several miles. wher,
bridges and precipices made the construc
tion difficult, cost MS much as $4,000 pc

Three Kind. Of corpuscIes In Blood.

Besides the red and white blood cor
pusclcs--the only two described by the
average hysiologist-there is third
kind in the blood Of mammals, but the
exact nature of its elements is not
as yet fully understood. 1t was years
ago llSS3J that Professor Bizzozero fret
made known the existence Of this third
element in the blood (sce Smithsonian
report for 1888, page 1850, and the ma
jority Of physicians and writers on
physiology have not yet learned that
such a discovery has ever been made.
This new corpuscle is a colorless lens
shaped disk, very minnie, being scarce
ly Onc.half the size of the red cOrpuscles,
and wholly destitute of hemoglobin
Bizzo2cro says that they are especially
interesting on account of their supposed
physiological relations 1t is claimed by
our eminent authority that they are the
chief factors III coagulation and that
iibrin is derived from their disintegra.
ton This view is entirely different
from those previously enunciated, which
chiefly referred the fibrin TO the break
ing down Of the white corpuscles.
Recent investigation on the blood Of
birds and amphibians reveals homol-
ogous element with the newly differen-
tiated corpuscle-pale nucleatcd blood
plates, whose functions are similar to
the third blood corpuscle in mammals.

TRACKS TORN UP.

NORTH ENID, Okla, June 25.-The
trouble at Round Pond is getting more
serious every hour. The presence of
United States marshals has not had the
quieting effect desired The crowd of
citizens blew out the cattle guard on the
outskirts of the town Saturday night and
warped rails so that trains could not pass
over for some hours.
That trains were not ditched is due to
the vigilance of the deputy marshals.
Last night three people were shot. The
mob attacked the south bound passenger
train that came through the town flying,
with hot fusillade of bullets from their
Winchesters. More than hundred shots
were fired at the train and some of the
cars were perforated.
A Mr. Fossett, of Kingfsher, who was
standing on the platform, had his hat
shot off and received slig hit scalp wounds,
and another passenger was struck in the
throat by bullet.
Mr.. Johnson, news dealer of Round
Pond, was hit in the leg with heavy
charge of buckshot.
During this delay the deputy marshals
wished, if possible, to avoid conf flict,
which would surely result in consider
able loss of life.
Marshall Nix is here today, and he
says all the power of the territory will be
required to put down lawlessness in

rapidly ebbing away, and twice he
said:

NJ. Carnot replied: II am grateful
for their presence" and a minute
later he gasped for breath, there was
a cOnvulsive shuddering of the body,
and the president of France was dead.
Vengeance Upon Italians.
After NJ. Carnot had been taken to
the prefecture it became generally
known that his assassion was an
Italian, and the feeling of deep indig-
nation among the crowd found vent
in the form of attacks upon cafes
kept by inOffensive natives of Italy.
Three such places in the vicinity of
the Palace of Commerce were COM
pletely wrecked by the infuriated
mob. French flags, which were in
abundance, were then procured by
the crowd, and with cries of down
with the foreigners;'' ''out with
them" hundreds of people marched
to the Rue de la Barre, in which
street the Italian consulate is situ-
ated. There is no doubt the consul
ate would have been sacked had it
not been for the prompt action of the
police, who stopped the crowd and
compelled its members to dispense.
The excitement continues at fever
heat. and it would take very little to
precipitate bloody anti-Italian riots.
