Stretched fat on his stomach on the
gravelly walk in the front of the east
entrance to the Mining building, with
his nose within one inch of the ground,
lay small boy the other day. Around
him, says the Chicago Tribune, were
as subsequent Investigation showed
one brother, his mother, two sisters,
one cousin, one aunt, and one grand
mother. The brother and sisters were
scattered around in positions some
what similar to the youthful hero of
this story. Their noses were equally
close to the ground. The olfactory ap-
pendages belonging to the elder mem
bers OF the party were as near to
mother earth as their half-squatting,
half-sitting posture permitted. Each
and every member of this aggregation
was busy-busy scratching gravel.
With infinite care every inch of ground
was inspected, and every once in
awhile an exultant cry of '.got some'

others on to renewed exertions.

"What are you looking for, son?'
sGold," was the sententious answer.
Found any?"
''Yep."
Slowly he opened his tightly closed
left hand and exhibited half q dozen
grains of iron pyrites, worth about
seven cents pound.
All OF which is but history under
modern guise. When the earth gave
up its yellow treasure half q century

thought he found it; many an aircastle
was wrecked when the bags of shim-

when some Of the castles fell they
buried their builders beneath the ruins.

HuMBERT AND FRANCIS JOSEPH
4 Brace Of Monarchs Who Never Speak ~
They PaaR nv.

A Brace Of Monarchs Who Never Speak ~
They Pass BY.
Indications of the peculiar relations
existing between the courts of Vienna
and Rome were manifested the other
day, when Emperor Francis Joseph was
permitted to cross over the italian ter
ritory on his way to visit Emperor Will
liam at Abbazia, without any of the
customary forms of courtesy and atten.
ton being paid to him by the italian
authorities.
This neglect by the Italians was
made all the more pointed seeing that
King Humbert was at that moment at
Venice preparing to receive the visit OF
mediately after the departure of the
Austrian monarch, who for a second
time passed several hours travelling
through the northern portion of Italy
on the way back to his capital.
The strained relations which led to
this lack of courtesy on the part of King
Humbert are due, says the New York
Recorder, to the persistent refusal of
the emperor and empress to return at
Rome the state visit which King Hum
bert and Queen Marguerite were per-
suaded by their ministers to pay to the
court of Vienna just ten years ago. The
visit ought to have been returned with
in at the latest twelve months, and the
emperor's hesitation and delay in the
matter are attributable to the compl-
cations which would arise in connec-
tion with the vatican, since the pontif
absolutely refuses to receive at the
vatican any Catholic sovereign who has
not first paid his respects to the head
of the church before holding any inter-
course with the quirinal.
King Humbert of course insists that
the first visit should be to the quirinal,
and this renders the stay of Catholic
royalties in the eternal city source of
endless complications and awkward
contretemps. To make matters worse,
Empress Elizabeth has, even since the
death of her son, visited Rome incog-
nito, and been received by the pope
without paying the slightest attention
to the quirinal, and that it was after
this that she was permitted to make
stay at Venice without receiving any
attention from the Italian authorities,
being even forced to take her turn
with the tourists when she visited the
royal palace in which she had formerly
dwelt as it's mistress prior to the forced
surrender of Venice to Italy by Aus
tria.

SAVED BY PETROLEUM.
4 North Carolin4 baby Narrowly Escap<
Being Eaten by . Wolf.

| a North Carolina baby Narrowly Escapes
Being Eaten by . Wolf.
A recent dispatch from johnson City
Tenn, says: Last Saturday big wolf
which has terrorized the people of the
Bumpas Cave region, over in North
Carolina, for the last two or three
years, entered the cabin of noun
taineer named Brown during the tenn
porary absence of the housewife, and
seizing the only occupant, an infant
six months old, by the clothing in the
region of the chest, lifted it from the
rude cradle and bore it away into the
mountains.
When the mother returned to the
house and missed the baby she rushed
to the door just in time to see the wolf
and its precious burden disappear into
the neighboring woods. The distracted
woman began to scream. This brought
the husband, who was chopping wood
not far away, to the scene IN a state OF
excitement. The story from the lips OF
the hysterical mother almost drove the
brave fellow daft, but he seized his ak,
called his dog and started in hot pur-
suit. There was about two inches OF
snow on the ground, and it providen-
TALLY enabled the desperate father of
the kidnapped infant to strike the trail
of the wolf Immediately after leaving
his dooryard. Once upon the track of
the beast he rushed through the noun
tains with speed born of distraction.
About two miles from his cabin the
tracks of the wolf led the pursuer
under long shelf rock, protruding
from the side of mountain. There
was no snow here and the father lost
the trail, but he now urged his dog,
which up to this time he had COM
PEELED to remain with him. The dog
took the lead and the man followed,
fully expecting to find the entrance to
the VOLTS den, from which he could
hardly hope to get the baby alive. But
his fears were groundless; he soon
came upon his faithful dog wagging
his tail and looking down at little
white bundle at his feet. It was the
baby sound asleep and almost frozen,
apparently unhurt otherwise. Brown
took off his coat and, wrapping the in
fant snugly in it, started hastily for
home. He soon met his wife and two
or three OF the nei ghbors to whom she
had given the alarm.
1t was most remarkable rescue.
The mountaineers say that it was only
a freak Of the ''mad" wolf, but the lit
tie one no doubt owes its life to a
drenching of petroleum given it for
some cutaneous affection by its mother
just before it was carried away. The
odor of the oil was too much for his
wolfship. He probably shifted about
the child after laying it down under
the rocks and preparing to make a
meal, and then left in disgust.

MUTILATED STAMPS.

According to the Law . Torn Stamp wnl
Not Garry = Letter.
The question of the exact extent to
which stamp may be mutilated and
yet be passed by the post Office clerks
is one that is often raised. There is an
order of the post Office department,
says the New York Post, that letter
cannot be forwarded in the mails If
any part OF the stamp is lost. This
would mean that even if the merest
corner of the stamp were torn it would
not be accepted. Although the de-
partment acknowledges that occasion
ally in the application of this rule
some hardship results complaints are
rarely made. As regards it's observ-
ance in the New York post office AS
sistant Postmaster Gaylor said the other
day:
sit is an order which is impressed
upon every new clerk, although we ex-
pect them to exercise certain amount
of discretion and common sense. The
validity of q postage stamp, under the
law, depends.upon it never having been
used before for postage, which must be
determined from the condition Of the
stamp itself. There are many stamps
on mail matter that go from post
offices insufdeiently Cancelled; the de-
facement is often inconspicuous, some
times only in corner or along the
margin. # the practice were such as
to admit the use Of mutilated stamps,
one part OF which might be from an
other stamp, the government would be
defrauded. We have never in the New
York post Office had complaints from
people whose letters were not for
warded because the stamps were inn
perfect. The cases Of rejection of let
ters on account Of mutilated stamps
are very few"

TELEPHONES ON RAILROADS.

! Omcials Considerlng the Advisability of
Displacing Telegraphy.
In France the management of some
! of the railroad companies think of re-
placing the telegraph by the telephone,
even for the transmission of important
orders. There are, says the Railroad
Gazette. some railroads with light traf-
fic where the telephone is already used,
but the entire substitution of the tele-
phone would be difficult. The single
iron conductors used for telegraph
would not be suitable and it would be
necessary to establish special telephone
lines with double wires. On the Vim
cennes railroad, in the stations be-
tween Paris-Bastille and La Varenne,
which are at distances of about one
mile, at a signal by telegraph the tele-
graph wires are connected with the
telephone instruments and are thus
made available for an extended tele-
phonic intercourse. The arrangement
gives excellent results. The Northern
railroad of France has established on
trial telephone stations on the open
road along some of its main lines,
through which assistance can be sum-
moned from the stations in case of acci-
dent. The stations are equipped with
telephone receivers. Portable tele-
phone instruments are in use on some
small French roads. The large Aus
trian railroads use field telephone in
struments of the Gattinger system,
which in a few minutes can be con-
nected with the telegraph wires at any
point, their use not interrupting the
telegraphic communication. Under fa-
vorable conditions conversation is pos
sible at distance up to thirty-one
miles.
In England telephone connection be-
tween block signal stations is common.
On the seven large French railroads
there were in use in January, 1893,
about 1910 telephones, against $500
telegraph stations.

HOW LIcORIcE IS GROWN.
The Plant Becomes Fully drown In About
Four Years.

The Plant Becomes Fully Grown In About
Four Years.
As grown in Pontefract, England,
where three hundred acres are under
cultivation, the plants are grown in
rows and attain a proper Size in about
four years. If allowed to grow Eve
years the root is tough and woody.
During the last two years, the plants
being small, potatoes and vegetables
can be grown between the rows, and
these are of superior sort, as the
licorice aground is heavily manured.
Tho roots extend downward from four
to six feet, and as they are dug up by
hand the expense is quite an item.
The digging takes place in September.

JAPANESE SUPERSTITION.
Saving the Drops OF Water That Washed
the Priest,

ooVln8 Sn0 drops or wafer That Washed
the Priest.
The death, funeral and cremation OF
the chiefest priest of the largest and
most powerful Buddhist sect in Japan
was recently recorded. The funeral
were attended by many tens of thou
sands of people from all over Japan.
The person of this priest is SO very
sacred, and any thing that has come in
contact with it so very precious in its
merit and powerful in its efficacy to
save, that every drop Of the water that
was used in washing the body after
death was eagerly sought for and
gratefully received by the priests and
laymen alike.
Little bamboo joints were used as
Walls in which to receive and carry
away the precious fluid. This water
will be used as drops Of saving elixir
when the body of some believer is
washed for it's burial-as q few drops
Of the altar of roses might be used in
q bath-and the one receiving this
washing will be insured safe and
happy entrance into the Buddhist Par

SIGNALED BY MARS.
Strange Sounds Which Might Be

Electrical Experiments by Edison On
Mount Ogden-Possibflitie Of the
Future In Aerial Com
munlcati0n.

Can we open up electric communica-
tion with the inhabitants of Mars?
That is question recently considered
at a meeting of the Society of Arts in
London, where Mr.. w. FL. Preece, engi-
neer to the telegraphs department of
the British post Office, read q paper on
Electric Signaling Without Wires"
Mr.. Preece explained how he had re-
Gently demonstrated that wires were
not at all necessary to establish tele-
phonic communication, says the New
York World.
Under the supervision of royal
commission appointed between the
shore and lighthouses he had conducted
series of experiments which amply
demonstrated this fact. There was no
difficulty in speaking between the
shore and Flat Holm, three miles dis
tance from the place of experiment.
Mr.. Preece then went on to say that
strange, mysterious sounds" are
heard on all long telephone lines when
the earth is used as return, especially
in the calm stiffness Of the night.
Earth currents" said he, ''are found
in telegraph circuits and the aurora
borealis lights up our northern sky
when the suns photosphere is dis
turbed by spots. The suns surface
must at such times be violently dis
turbed by electrical storms and if os-
citations are set up and radiated
through space in sympathy with those
required to affect telephones it is not
a wild dream to say that we may hear
on this earth thunderstorm in tie
