warns and venti,ates the house. the
senate and the various committee rooms
and runs several electric dynamos. Its
most curious feature is the appliance
for telling the proper temperature of the

SACRED RUNNING OXEN.


Thsy Ars the Greatest Curiosities Amon>
Ceyion's Demesticated Anin,als.
One Of the greatest curiosities among
the domesGcated animals of Ceyion is
4 breed of cattle known to the biologists
Is the sacred running oxen" They
are the dwarfs Of the whole OK family,
the largest specimens Of the species new
er exceeding 30 inches, or 21s feet in
height. One sent to the Marquis of Can
terbnry in the year 1891, and which is
still living and believed to be some
where near 10 years Of age, is only %
inches high and weights but 1O81a
pounds In Ceylon they are used for
making quick trips across the country
with express matter and other light
loads, and it is said that four of them
can pull u driver Of a two wheeled cart
and 200 pound load Of miscellaneous
matter 60 to 20 miles day. They keep
mp constant swinging trot or run and
have been known to travel 100 miles in
a day and night without either feed or
water. No one knows anything concern
ing the origin of this peculiar breed of
miniature cattle. They have been known
on the island OF Ceylon and in other
Buddhistic countries for more than q
thousand years. One story told to ac-
count for their origin is to the effect
that they We're originally cattle of the
ordinary height and bulk; that a Bud
dhistic priest was once imprisoned in q
stone building, one-half of which was
used for cattle stable. During the
night he managed to dislodge one of the
stones in his prison wall The stone in
question was exactly 2ls feet square.
1t was almost daylight when this
apostle Of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening he had made and
realized that he was all but free. He
knew that he would be unable to get
out of the enemy's country on foot, SO
lie prayed that he might be provided
with n beast of burden that would safely
carry him to the homes of the followers
Of Buddha. No sooner had he done this
than one Of the large oxen which had
been quietly feeding in stall at his side
walked :~surely to the 80 inch square
opening and miraculously passed
through it.
The priest followed and mounted the
now sacredly dwarfed beast and was
soon safe in his own country. Since
that time, SO the story goes, there has
been breed of sacred running oxen
i'll Ceylon. which never grow too tall tc
pass through an opening the size OF
that made i'll the prison wall by Bud
dha's representative on the night when
lie miraculously escaped OH the back Of
the first of the famous dwarfed oxen.-

A POLAR NIGHT.


Graphic Dsseriptioa Of This Time Il olsea
and Dcsol.tion.
Mr.. Constantin Nossiloff, reporting
in LIE Tour du Monde his scientific no
searches in Nova Zembla. furnishes an
interesting description of his sensations
and experiences during the long arctic
night, which began Nov. 8 and ended
Jan. 20.
September was pretty comfortable. he
says. Then suddenly snow covered the
mountains. The Samoyedee, his only
companions, put ON their winter cloth

self for the last time all hands went
ont Of doors to bid it farewell. It re-
mained in sight for half an hour only.
For few days longer there was a
morning twilight. Then this faded and
gave place to black night. The stars
shone the whole "a hours. The huts of
the colony were buried under the snow,
of which thick whirlwinds filed the
foundations. Sometimes for days to-
gether the inmates of the different huts
could hold 10 communication with each
other, though the huts were side by side.
If any one went out, he was seized by
the wind and had to be dragged back by
means Of ropes.
In this darkness and desolation the
aurora bOrealis did much to entertain
and cheer them. 1t lasted sometimes for
five days in succession, with splendors
| Of color that Mr.. Nossiloff tries in vain
to describe. To enjoy the spectacle he
used to remain for hours in hole in
the snow, sheltered from the wind.
II have never seen anything more
terrible than a tempest during the polar
night" says Mr.. NossilOff MAN feels
himself overwhelmed in immensity."
| When there came lull in the storm,
the men ventured ont to breathe the
air and purge their lungs of the exhala-
tions of the smoking lamps fed with

Twilight appeared again in the mid
die Of January, and OH the 2Oth the sun
rose above the horizon, while the men,
bers of the little colony stood in line
facing it and fred u salute. No one had
died or been seriously i'll, but all had
the look of corpses and were feeble as
convalescents after a long sickness.

FISHERMEN'S GETS.
aost Of Them Made by iSrhiae Nowa-
days-Their Many Cses.

Aost OF Them Made BY ASchiae NOVA
days-Their Many Uses.
Most fshermen's nets nowadays arc
made by machinery, excepting the small
round crab nets aud dip nets, aud bait
nets that sportsmen use. These are made
by hand, for the machines carnot make
anything but straight fat web. Many
larger circular nets. however, are con-
structed from machine made netting,
cut up.
Machines have been used generally in
netlnaking for about 80 years. Before
that nets were. knitted in the families OF
the fishermen. Some fishermen ON the
Atlantic coast still make their own nets,
and Oh one part Of the Pacific coast
there is close union Of fishermen using
nets made by hand, but factory made
nets have displaced most nets of do
mestic make.
There are six netting factories in the
United States, all on the Atlantic coast
Carload lots IF nets are not uncommon
shipments from this coast to the Pacific,
and the same is true Of netting twine.
Nets are made of various sizes of
thread or twine, in any size mesh de-
sired. and they can be made of any
length, but nets Of certain kinds are
made commonly in certain lengths, and
then joined together if greater length be
desired. In this way nets have been set
In the great lakes i'll one straight string
IF II miles. Nets three Or four miles
long are not unusual there. Such nets
aIe fished with steamboats,.
A pound net, 100 feet in depth, has
been set i'll Lake Superior. 1t was neces-
sary to splice the poles for it. The aver
age depth of pound nets on the lakes is
40 feet. On the Atlantic coast the aver
age depth Of pound nets is 35 feet. Lead
ers are made Is to 20 rods i'll length.
In the sounds of North Carolina very
long hauling seines are used, some OF
them about Il mile long. They are oper
ated by steamboats,. Formerly, hauling
seines were used generally. Within the
last Is years the use of pound nets has
increased rapidly. Purse seines are made
200 to $50 fathoms long and perhaps 100
feet deep.
A pound net, complete, costs 5000 tc
*l,2OO; u purse net, *lOO to $500; q
lake gill net outfit, $4,000 to 5000,
although it might not all be used at one
time: shore seine, from $40 to f4OO.
There are other kinds of nets and seines.
The life of net depends OH the water
it isused in and circumstances. A heavy
pound net might get thrashed out in q
season. Some nets and seines last three
or four years or longer.
Nets are made for various uses Other
than for fishing. They are made for use
Oh horses, III laundries to hold collars
and cuffs. for decorative purposes, fol
lawn tennis, and all sorts of backstops
for banners and for hammocks, for poul
try yards and for fruit trees and straw
be.ry beds. Some bird traps are made
with nets. There are steamboat nets

In the columns of The Kreuzzeitung
Herr Andrae, we'll known Conservative
politician and friend of Prince Bis
marck, gives some interesting recollec-
tiOns of the period of the war of 1870.
He says: Bismarck read ON the 9th of
July the speech delivered by the Duke
of Grammont on the 9th. He was at
dinner and handed the newspaper to his
wife, with the words: The Duke of
Grammont must have soon got tired of
his Office. I shall, of course, have to ask
for his resignation. Later in the even
ing, while walking in the park at
Varzin and thinking of the matter, the
idea suddenly came to him, Napoleon
wants war, and Grammont g speech was
dictated by him.
He went to his room, his first thought
being to telegraph to the king. at Ems,
as follows, 1t would be best to mobilize
at once, declare war and attack before
France is prepared His nerves were
strung to the highest tension, and he
passed a sleepless night. Lying awake,
thinking. there crossed his mind the
text, Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of God. ,
So that won't do, he said to himself.
Then all the political consequences of
his contemplated action became clear to
him, and he ended by casting the first
message aside and telegraphing to King
William simply not to pledge himself to
anything with Benedetti, who, if he be-
came pressing, was to be told, MY min
lister of foreign affairs is at Varzin. -
