KEYsroNE,April Let, 1895.
Last Friday a~iternoen the rain com
menced to fall which changed to snow
about dark. Saturday morning it was
six inches and still falling a,,d 30 con-
stinued Tor 1t least twent, -iour hours on
Sunday eve the storm seemed to sub
side q little and this morning We have
y bright SUI and the heavy body Of
snow which has fallen is gradually
leaving us but it has somewhat retarded
the wheels Of progress for a short time.
Our three mills are in full operation
and the cleanup at the custom mill
yielded from the Bismark mine a little
over four dollars per ton, this did not
seem to meet with the expectation OF
those concerned vet the fact that the
mill and machinery was all new and
that there was considerable Of fine gold
lost in the openings Of the different
floors where the ore was handled all
seemed to rest easy until another run
could be nude which is being done al
rapidly as possible.
The rock taken from the Lucky Cuss
mine over on the Teepee is said to be
good and assays from ten to eighty
| dollars per ton there is a great amount
Of work done on this NINE and they are
stiil taking ont sorting and Dileing up
great quantities OF this ore for the mill
which they contemplate building the
coming summer Mr.. Coyster the super
entendant saws he will leave for Chi
cago within Il few days and On his re-
turn will double the force on the shalt
and open cut and otherwise prepare for
the speedy n~rection Of the mill.
The great amount of ore which is be-
ing hauled from the head OF Grass eulch
to our custom mill promises to yield
well. The great strikes made by Geo.

roads has put the highways in a bad

The WhistliDg Oyster.

That the whistling mania should go
as far as the oyster is not at all aston
ishing, for why should not a bivalve
do what a does? 1t was an en-
terprising oyster who lived in a shell IN
the year 1910 and was exhibited in Lon
don. If we can believe the words of
thousands who saw it, the thing some
how actually whistled. Douglas Jerrold,
who saw it, surmised that the oyster
had undoubtedly "been crossed in love
and now whistled to keep up appear
ances, with an idea of showing that 1t
didn't care" London Answers

DID NOT INTERRUPT TRAFFIC.
A Railroad Bridge In Switzerland Weigh
ing SAG Tons Raised Five Feet.

~ AU6 M 1AN
ing SAG Tons Raised Five Feet.
The raising of a bridge in Switzer-
land upon the line of the International
railway, from Paris to Vienna, has at
tracted considerable attention from
the methods pursued, which r de-
scribed by Locomotive Engineering.
The occasion for the change was that
the river crossed-the Rhine-had lost
in the sectional area of the passage be-
tween the piers about twenty-five per
cent. in thirteen years, owing to the
deposition of gravel and sediment,
while the high water level had risen
to such an extent as to pile floating de-
bris six feet deep on the bridge floor in
times of flood. The alterations includ-
ed some reinforcements, besides the
raising of the whole structure about
five feet. The bridge was continuous
over a center pier, and had two main
vertical posts there and four vertical
end posts. To each of these posts an
verse vertical plane, presenting a sur
face for the top of a hydraulic jack to
act upon. Eight special hundred
ton jacks were used, with an eight
inch stroke and a working pressure of
four hundred atmospheres, the piston
being nearly seven-tenths in diameter.
The fluid used was a mixture of water,
alcohol and glycerine. Sixteen men
operated the jacks, their movements
being synchronized by a code of sig
nails, designed to secure uniformity of
action. The bridge was raised a foot
or two by short lifts, followed up by
thorough blocking, and then building
under one course of cut-stone masonry.
The total load was five hundred and
forty-six tons, and the maximum load
on a single jack was eighty-seven
tons. The bridge was raised in four
stages during intervals between trains.
The longest interval between trains
was about two hours. The weight OF
trains was rigidly restricted during the
time the bridge was undergoing re.
pairs, and their speed was limited to
three miles an hour in crossing the
bridge. In addition, a special block
system was organized upon that sec
ton of the line upon which the bridge
is located, SO that operations could be
Expended and the track restored five
W3gdtes before the arrival of a train al

EXTRAORDINARY VITALITY.
The Longevity Of Toads and Frogs Said to
Be Surprising.

Dc surprising. 1t.
The persistence Of life in frogs is
very long. Spallanzani preserved
styeme frogs in a mass of snow for two
los. They became dry, stiff and
a1hsost friable, but a gradual heat
brought them back to life. Vulpian
observed a return Of life in frogs and
salamanders that had been poisoned
with curate and nicotine. In both
cases the animals in question had been
for several days in the condition of
cadavers. Toads have been shut up in
blocks of plaster, and then, having
been deprived Of all air except what
may penetrate through the material,
and OF all sources of food, resuscitated
several years afterward. The question
presents one of the most curious prob
lens that biological science has been
called OF to explain. The longevity
and vital resistance Of toads are sur
prising. Besides the experiments we
have cited, nature sometimes presents
some already made, and vastly more
astonishing. Toads r said to have
customed to visit a. certain village at a
certain hour on a certain day each
week, always found a dog of his ac-
q%uaintance waiting for him outside the
town, and it was proved that the dog
came to the place at any other
day or hour.
Evidently, all that can be said in ex.
PLANTATION of such cases is that animals
are susceptible OF having periods OF
cycles of time established in their in.
telligence by use, and that their igno
rance Of timepieces only serves to make
the instinct the keener. It is vel
known that men who have never pos
sessed watches. and who work or hum
habitually at "a distance from clocks
are very expert at estimating the lapse
Of time. Perception Of this kind un
doubtedly may be cultivated in an in
telligent animal as well as a man.

Setting q Good Example.

Emperor William Of Germany, it
seems, will not visit the theater on
Sunday. While on his recent trip to
Italy the managers Of the Theatre
Fenice, in Venice, gave a special enter
tainment IN his honor on a Sunday, but
the audience waited in vain for King
Humbert and the emperor. 1t was
learned later that he had called in
stead on Countess Annina Morsini. and
told her, according TO Italian papers,
that 7a1 had not attended g theatrical
performance on Sunday since he had
assembled the throne.
