POLAR BEAR AND WALRUS.
Strange Association Existing Between tn
 Two Animals.

Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two Animals.
 Old voyagers in Behring sea tell of a strange association between the wal rus and the polar bear. The walrus furnishes the principal foood of this great carnivore, which is his deadliest foe, in fact, yet to see them together, as they frequently are encountered, one might think they were boon com panions. Lying upon the field ice will often be seen patches" of walrus con- taining from thirty to fifty, and with each of these groups will be found the polar bear. They all are apparently resting together in the happiest sort of unity. Occasionally a walrus fops into the water and sinks leisurely into the depths, while others will be seen emerging the-efrom and climbing up on the ice.
 The bear becomes hungry and de- cides he will dine with the walrus that day. He rises to his launches and sways himself heavily upon all fours. After a yawn and stretch he saunters to the nearest walrus and swings his power ful paw in a crushing blow on it's head, instantly killing the animal. He then proceeds leisurely to make com fortable dinner off the unfortunate ob- ject of his selection. This perform ance, apparently, does not startle the others. They continue to bask un- disturbed, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their comrade and awaiting their turn like stoics The female wal rus with young, however, does not tol- crate the presence of the bear. She regards him with merited suspicion, and promptly takes to the water with her offspring on his appearance.

PETER KITCHEN DEAD.
Demise of a Noted Arizona
 Man.
Man.
He Was a Native of Missouri But Had Lived More Than Gen.
 eratfon in Arizona.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Peter Kitchen died at 2 80 o'clock this morning aftera long and eventful life, and will be buried tomorrow under the auspices of the Arizona Pioneers. Peter Kitchen was a typical frontiersman. He was a native of Missouri, but had lived more than generation in Ari- zona. He was here before the boun diary line was run between the United States and Mexico, having first come to the country in 1853 or 1854. Eventual ly he married and made himself home in the "Potrero" little north of the Mexican border, and while his herds roamed the hills he stood of the hostile Apaches and sent many red handed cut throat to his long home. He was a good citizen, a pioneer in the fullest sense of the word. Bold and courage ous, he faced death a thousand times and never quailed before mortal man. There never was and never will be but one Pete" Kitchen, and Arizona owes much to hIs valor. He was nearly 76 years of age, a true blue whose life work has stamped his name eternally on the pages of early Arizona.
 His funeral will take place from his late residence, No. 32l South Main street, and will continue down Main street to the cemetery.

Feeding Charcoal to Fowls.

Charcoal is great aid to digestion and should always be placed within the reach of fowls. An excellent form in which to give it is as charred corn. Throw dry cob of corn into the fire until the grains are well blackened, then throw it, without shelling, in to the fowls and watch how they will pick at it. Another way is to shell the corn and put it in the oven of the kitchen stove in a baking pan. Sur it occasionally and leave it in until thor oughly charred, and if the weather is cold feed it as warm as you can bear your hand in it. The fowls like it wonderfully well.

ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.
Those Built by the Medieval PeruVfans
 Were the Most Magnificent.

Were the Most MRgnlncens.
 Perhaps the earliest road on record is that mentioned by Herodotus as having been constructed by Cheops, the Egyptian king, in order that stones might be dragged along it for his pyr- amid. In the opinion of the Greek traveller the work of making the road was as great as that of building the pyramid, for it took ten years to con- struct, and it was made of polished stones with figures carved on them. But, according to the London Standard, this does not compare in magnitude with the highways constructed by the Peruvians, while medieval Europe was still in a state of semi-bar rbarous disor- ganization. The two principal roads in Peru ran from Quito in the north to Cuzco, the capital, the one along the sandy and level strip of coast, the other along the plateau of the Andes, re- zion of unparalleled engineering diff culty. The length of the second has been estimated at from 1,500 to 2,OOO miles. It crossed sierras buried in snow, bridged ravines with walls Of solid masonry, mounted and descended precipices by staircases hewn in the solid rock and ran in interminable gal leries along the sides of intractable mountains. Where rivers had to be crossed bridges were made with ropes I of stout, pliant osier twisted to the | thickness of mans body and stretched over the stream sometimes for a dis I tance of 200 feet. These cables swung side by side, and, fastened with blanks so as to form footway, were drawn through holes in enormous buttresses of stone specially constructed on each l bank, and were secured firmly at each end to heavy beams of timber. A rail- | ing of similar osier material gave the passenger confidence as he crossed the 1 oscillating bridge that sank danger ously in the middle and mounted rap idly at the sides. The great highway was twenty feet wide, and was built with flags of freestone covered with 1 bituminous cement. It was measured out by posts set up at every league; caravansaries and magazines were sta | toned at convenient distances for the ] Peruvian soldiers on their military ex- petitions; and regular postal service had been organized by which highly trained runners, relieved every five miles, could convey messages a dis. tance of 200 miles in the twenty-four hours The roads were kept in beauti- I ful order, the inhabitants of district being responsible for that portion ot the highway which traversed theil land. At the same time it should be remembered that there was no wheel traffic to cut up the level surface of the
 hard pavement. There is considerable
 irony in the fact that it was not til
 the Spaniards forcibly introduced theil
 so-called civilization into Peru that
 the famous roads began to fall into dis
 repair.
