A Sheep-Killing Parrot.

Among the remarkable birds of New Zealand is the greenish-gray nocturnal parrot of the genus StrigOns, which lives in burrows and resembles an owl; and still a more singular parrot. the Nestor notabilis, which the English have come to regard as 8 dangerous nuisance. The English, as is well known, introduced sheep farming into New Zealand. as we'll as into Australia. Now these parrots have acquired the habit of perching upon the backs of the sheep and excavating holes therein with their formidable bills in order to extract the kidneys. The fact is so much the more curious in that it can not be attributed to an innate instinct, since previous to the arrival of the English these birds had never seen a sheep, nor even any animal of analo- gous conformation, the fauna of New Zealand including scarcely a single mammal. We know, moreover, that in entire Oceanica there are no other mammals except marsupials. There is here, then, on the part of these birds an act of intelligence and even of cal culation, so much the more curious in that it is certainly complicated with a phenomenon of language or analogous communication. It is true that the birds are parrots, but the fact is none the less worthy of remark. - Revue FrancaiSe.

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.

The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap aneSe, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with a curious va riety of European arms, obsolete. ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled earelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatOes-long and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to their guns, trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too Smal1..'
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens to carry are exhausted he can only de- pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use- He sell throws his useless rifle promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.

 IS mad; of the deep brown or oxide of
 iron color, the cristallIzing salt extend ir g over fifty miles in the lowest depth of Death valley.
 There Is nothing, not anything, that has name or a shape, more abrupt
 uneven, or tOpsy- -turvey, than is this mass of salt as speWed from the un- known depths of the earth. The pro- JectIng points, one above another, are generally 0blOng, and of all dimensions from enc inch to five feet, and as the inner pressure of the unknown forces have thrust and crowded the millions of varied forms and sizes of fragments Dromiscuously to the surface, it presents a distressing confusion. The salt is of the ordiDary hardness of a stone. It is here that wagon road Is built without a blow, pick, shovel or ax, but at great expense the high parts are hammered down, and make 1t possible for the traveller to pass.
 Messrs. Brooks and Johnson credit themselves with being the most unfor- tunate party that ever visited Death valley, excepting the many who perish ed in this forbidden spot. Their trip, as Colonel Brooks expresses it, was one of hellish dissppointments, hazard of life, hardships, and once a narrow escape from drowning in the Big Tejunga. The wind blew longer and harder than he ever knew it before, at times making it necessary to cable the wagons and bal last the blankets to prevent being blown out of existence.
 1 he toughest part of their journey was the long drives of fifty to sixty miles be- tween water stations, over the terrific sand beds, mountains and unbroken roadways. At times their water supply was completely exhausted, mules given out, and they compelled on one occasion Bo abandon the wagon and lead the mules distance of twelve miles to water.
 Colonel Brooks says of his inexper- enced New York companion, as desert traveller, that he is a composition of the pest maternal the blazing sun of the des- 'rt ever shown upon, walking twenty niles day through the intense heat, 'isiDg at in the morning and travelling ill l2 the following night.
 The two gentlemen went to Death Tslley expressly to secure a most valua- )le quartz mine, said to have value oe ;4OCO per ton, and on arriving upon the ,round at the extreme head of Death alley found, to use Colonel Brooks anguage, that it was not worth 2-cent postage stamp.

BLAZING SUN AND THIRST.
A Vivid Description of the Great Salt Valley Tive Hundred Feet Below the Lev el of the Sea and
 Deadly Hot.
n. A. Herald.


 (L. A. Herald.)
 Many volumes have been written on that peculiar piece of earth, Death val ley, where so many fellow travellers went to never return, leaving their bleaching bones to mark the spot where they suc- cumbed to the oppressive heat, poison ous water and otker clements destruc- tive to life, and yet in reality little is known of the queer place. Colonel T.. w. Brooks of Pomona and D. M. John son of New York have just returned from this awful valley, which is the lowest spot of earth on the American continent, where they went on mining expedition, travelling the entire length of the valley ard through parts of Nye and Lincoln counties, Nevada. The colonel IS great traveller and old time mining man, and has made many such trips. but to MT. Johnson it was new feature of life, and one of hazard and torture, traversing the dead mans trail, crossing the expansive sano oeserts' crystallized salt beds, 800 feet below the ocean, and often without water.
 As Colonel Brooks remarks, 1t IS truly regretfuI that this phenomenal country cannot be seen by tbe thousands Of people who read of it's indescribable wonders. He says that when the descriptive powers of our most able writers have been exhausted in an effort to convey to the public correct Im preesion of the prcIpItous depths, gran deur of its confines, combinations of all known minerRs, and torture, ot death to the many travellers, the readers most grasping imagination is still vague and as far short of the reality as is the pos sibility of an OK drinking the waters of the San Fran cisco bay.
 An indefinite idea of the exceeding grandeur of the salt precipice, miles Tn length, that is situated at the head of Death valley, as the sun shines upon It each day of the 365 on the year, may be

 Various Ways

In Ancient Times 1t Was Employed In
 Various Ways
 It is a curious and interesting fact that those fruits which in time past came to us from over the ocean, bathed in the atmosphere of the enchanting orient. are now acclimated upon the western coast of our own country. Of these one of the most noteworthy and picturesque is the olive. To all ap- pearances one orange tree is precisely like its neighbor. But not so with the olive. No two are alike. Slow of growth, indescribably tortured and wrung by the elements, clinging to life with intense persistence, it wrests from earth and air that rich oil that fills a place subordinate to no other material.
 In the days of old it was used for sacrifcial ibations, as well as for amounting the person and hair; for food and as a vehicle for preparing other foods. In the days of Roman splendor olive oil was used much as we use but ter. Like the Greeks the Romans be- lieved that the frequent amounting of the body was favorable to vigor and suppleness. With both nations it was an indispensable adjunct to the bath. Olive oil ranked next to breadstuffs in value as an agricultreol pspduction.

Hysms, all con- nected with the Arizona Copper Co.,, of Clifton, are here examining the property of the Old Dominion Copper O., which has given rise to various rumors concerning the probable sale of the Old Dominion Copper Co.'S pro- perty, and the fact that the gentlemen are making a critical examination of the mine and plant and obtaining an abstract of title to all the property, gives color to the report. They are said to represent parties who are also iu- terested in the Arizona Copper Go. Contrary to the above report, N. S. Berray, Superintendent of the Old -Dominion Copper Go. informs us that he has received assurances from the be started up at an early date under the old management.
 The Graham County Bulletin says the examination is being made for the Lew iston Brothers, ot New York, one of the largest copper producers in the United States.
 It is said the Lewiston Brothers have been negotiating for the Old Dominion for some time and that all the main features cf the sale has been agreed on, and if the parties now at Globe find the conditions there in accordance with tations, the deal will be im- mediately closed on their return to New York.

Not Merely an Ornament.

The prince of Wales is said to have an extraordinary and accurate knowl- edge of the signs, colors and membership of all orders of merit. It is matter in which he permits no trifing, too. At a recent state ball, beautiful young girl wore a glittering jeweled decora- tion on her breast. She danced oppo- site the prince. When the quadrille was over, he said, gently: "That is a pretty ornament. May I ask to whom it belongs?" ''To Lord Blank" said the frightened girl; ''he is my fiance. He allows me to wear it." Gan you unfasten it easily?" ''Yes, your high ness" 'Then may I ask you to take it off, and to tell Lord Blank that it means something more than bit of gold and a few diamonds to be worn merely as an ornament, even by a charming woman?"
