a Valuable Collection.

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 24.-The geolog-
ical exploring party from the South
Dakota state university which left Yer
million, S. D., early in the summer for
tour of the bad lands, has returned with
collection of specimens weighing al
most ton.
Characteristic specimens of about
twenty extinct species of verbetrates
were found, together with nearly twice
that number of individuals. The most
valuable was the complete skull of
Titanothrum, kind of gigantic hog
with horns. Many forms not ye. de-
termined were included in the collec-
ton.
The record of many geological Sec
tons were opened, throwing light on
the natural history of the state and add
ing vastly to possibilities of the agricul-
turalist. One of the problems which
Prof. Todd, chairman of the expedition,
proposes 10 solve at his leisure concerns
the agricultural benefit of mixing the
gumbo soil of the cretscious and the
siIts and the marls of the tertiary. He
also intends to look for means by which
the clay solution called water in the Bad
can be precipitated and made fit for
drinking and to discover, if possible,
new water courses in the barren region,
where water supply is at present I'M
known.

presently one of them, who looked like
little weazened old man, seized a small
block Of wood which lay in the bottom
of the cage, dipped it carefully into the
dinner-pan, and began rubbing the bars

He stopped, watched the movements
of the man, resumed his rubbing, and
initiated the man as closely as he could.
This he continued until after the win

What a blessing It vii be, and how
the appearance and general air Of our
cities viii be improved, when everyone
is a-wheel and almost every means of
transportation Is mechanical. There
will be no numbering vans or banging
omnibusses, no gathering of iron hoofs
upon the pavements. Every wheel will
have an india rubber tire and the horse
will be used for the farm only. Then
the street cleaner and the scavenger will
be abolished. The streets OF our cities
will be freed from filth. Locomotion
will be cheapened 10 an enormous ex
tent. When neither horse nor harness
Is a necessity. when there Is no feed TO
be bought and no veterinary bills TO be
paid, transportation will be cheaper, and
ton will be carried from the farm to
the market for much less than it now
costs The city business man or mer-
chant and his clerks can live miles out
of tosn and get home at night quickly
and economically on their bicycles or in
their own motor carriages. The suburbs
Of every city, town and village will be
extended. In fact, so many changes will
come with the bicycle and will ensue
with the motor carriage, that they are
beyond the possibility of prediction or

ale never loses moment, used to be
thought an unqualified compliment
Now we are not quite SO sure that IT
saws much for the wisdom OF him to
whom It'll applied. From many differ
ent directions comes the testimony that
too much activity is loss instead of gain,
since overfatigue poisons the physical
system.
An analysis has been made of the
poison engendered by fatigue, and it
has been found to be similar to the
ancient vegetable poison, curari, into
which the Indians used to dip their
arrows; and almost deadly poison it
was The poisoN of fatigue is of the
same chemical nature, and is as truly
deadly If it is created more rapidly thar,
the blood can carry It off. There is no
known antidote for this poison, and its
dangers beset alike the pleasure-seeker
and the worker.
An italian physician recently ex-
amined twenty bicycle--iders after
they had ridden thirty-two miles in two
hours and a quarter. 1t was found that
in nearly every instance the nervous
system was so tar affected by fatigue
that the hearing of the cyclists was de
fectfve After a rest of two hours most
of them could hear as well as ever.
Another practical test was made upon
ifty grammer.school children who were
to take part in written examination Of
two hours and half Before entering
upon the strainIwhioh such an examina-
ton mist necessarily be, each child was
instructed TO lift as much as he could
with the dynamometer. This was done
to test the muscular strength of each
pupil before the examination.
After the work In tire school room
was ended, the children were again told
to lift as much as possible in the same
way. It was found that, with one or
two exceptions, they could NOT lift as
much by several pounds as they had
lifted before the examination.
II IS now demonstrated fact that
prolonged mental strain will diminish
the pulse, produce fullness and heavi-
ness of the head. and bring about palPi-

section IS Of the oHenses against the
person act OF 1861. The sentence was
imposed upon plea Of guilty to the
Sc -ond indictment. This plea was ac-
cepted, although the prosecution con.
sidered that a conviction for man
slaughter would be supported. The
Law Journal quotes Mr. Justice Hsw-
kins as saying that the counsel for the
prosecution had very mercifully asked
only for conviction on an indictment
10 which the prisoner was ready to
plead guilty, and that he was glad that
some one had thought fit to put the law
On motion and let those who are care
less and reckless OF the lives of others
know that they were punishable by the
law. The justice also said that a man
or woman who rides bycicle Is bound
to conduct It with care and caution,
and no more entitled to ride recklessly
and furonsly than to drive a cart at
furious pace through the street.
Laws or ordinances on this subject. |
as on all others, are made only for
those who are either mentally or NOR

are intelligent and conscientious enough
not to need them. The interesting and

The Greatest Massacre.

The great calamities of modern times
by fire, food and pestilence-seem
dreadful enough as viewed at this stage
Of mans civilization, but they cannot
compare with many of the holocausts Of
olden times
Perhaps the most terrible slaughter Of
humanity that ever occurred was the
sack Of Delhi by Nadir Shaw, March II,
I73o. History offers no parallel to this
cold -blooded aitrocity; beside it the cru
elites of the black hole of Calcutta, and
the massacre of Glencoe sink into insig-
nificance. Nadir Shaw, the Persian
conqueror, had occupied Delhi, and had
promised TO spare the city on payment
of heavy ransom. The magistrates
were devising ways and means of rails
ing this, when a tumult arose, in which
many of the occupying force were slain
by the citizens News of this was
brought to the Persian King at mid
night, and getting his men under arms
he marched out of the citadel, and halt
ing at a convenient place waited for day
light.
At daylight the tumult had totally
subsidized, when a person from an over
looking terrace fred upon the King and
killed an officer standing by his side.
Beside himself with rage, Nadir Shaw
ordered an indiscriminate massacre.
Squadrons of cavalry were sent through |
the streets. musketeers secured the ter
races. and the order was executed with |
rigor.
No distinction of age, sex or condi-
ton was made, and the panic stricken
throwing down their arms,
submitted to the slaughter like sheep,
and were literally butchered in heaps,
A single Persian soldier often butchered
/ whole family without meeting with
my resistance Many of the Hndoos
hut up their wives and children, set
ire to their compartments and then
brew themselves headlong into the
lanes. Thousands plunged into wells

Is 1t Necessary

New York, Aug. IA Herald spe-
cial from Washington says: Concern
ing the report accredited to T. c. Pate
man, the popuIist nominee for governor
of Maine, that Bryan will be formally
notified of his nomination by the popu-
lists, Senator Butler, chairman of the
populist executive committee, last night
said that no such notification would be
made.
"The practice" said the senator, "of
formally notifying candidates is fixed
custom with the two old parties, and if
they should depart from it this late day
1t will probably attract unfavorable
notice. But the populists are not bound
by any such custom. 1t is the mission
of the populists to depart from many
the useless practices and customs fol-
lowed by the old parties.
"The formal notification of presiden-
tial candidates amounts to little, anyway.
1t gives the candidates an opportunity
to get up and say something, and out
line their course of action during the
campaign, and during their term of
Office if they happen to be elected. But
that is the purpose of a party's plat
form.
"Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Watson are we'll
aware that they were nominated at St.
Louis by the populist party for presi-
dent and vice.president. They proba-
bly, knew it as soon as any living man
outside the city of ST. Louis and to tell
them again would be useless, in my
opinion"
Senator Butler said that he received
yesterday requests to have Mr.. Watson
speak during the campaign in two diff
feaent cities in Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's
own state. He looks upon this as ia
vorable sign, indicating that the west
is changing its opinion about the second
man on the ticket
