A very Young man who made a hit
In new play in this city called on
William III. Crane one morning and IN
very patronizing manner remarked
that he would consider an offer TO join
the comedians company. The actor
greeted him very cordially, for he had
always been a very nice. modest young
man, but il was not long before the
actor discovered that there was some-
thing the matter with his young friend,
He held his head very high and showed
certain unmistakable signs of being
caddish. 1t did not take the actor long
TO see that the boy was suffering from
the affiiction known as "big head. and

what he considered his duty.

DEATH IN lie CHANNEL.
The Band of Immigrants Fell Before An
Unexpected Peril.

We were camped on the east bank Of
Bear river ten miles below the mountains,
and the banks on that side for mile up
and down were 20 feet above the surface
of the stream. 1t being midsummer the
water was only few inches deep. At
O'Clock in the afternoon band Of emf
grants appeared on the opposite shore.
There We're five wagons, 20 people, 80
horses. The banks on that side were only
five or six feet high To reach the east
bank they must travel up or down the bed
of the stream To n natural cut. They head
ed up stream. We gathered on the bank
and saluted them and passed questions and
wished them luck in the new homes they
were seeking beyond the mountain.
The last wagon had entered the bed of
the stream, which was perhaps 100 feet
wide, and the foremost was quarter of a
mile above us, the men cracking their
whips and shouting, the women singing,
the children laughing at the novelty, when
we heard muffled roaring from above
1t was like the stampede of a thousand
horses over the prairie at night, but no
man had yet fathomed the sound when our
eyes caught sight of wall of mud colored
water l2 feet high bearing down the chan
mel. There had been cloudburst away

the rocks and slopes at "a dash, and the
wall was moving down with the speed Of

Shout, scream, shrek from man, woman
and child and neighs and snOrts of alarm
from the horses. Ii wasn't 10 seconds aft
or we saw the roaring, tumbling frothing

THE CRACKED COIN GAME.

How the shrewd Man Wins Bets with a
"Hocused" Bit of Silver.
Two blithe and confident young men
entered the subtreasury one day last
week, and one of them dropped silver
half dollar, or something which looked
like it, on the desk before one of Uncle
Sans money sharps 1t fell with dull
and leadlike sound.
Good on bad?" asked the first blithe
young man.
The clerk investigated.
Good, said he
GOOD enough, said the first blithe
young man. Five dollars, please"
The second young man, not quite so
blithe, passed over a bill, apparently
the amount of bet. and together they
left the place Of gold and silver. The
subtreasury clerk smiled and closed ono
eye.

Sulphur.

A curious chemical result of expert
ments made by Strindberg. as noted in
Annales Industrielles, is that sulphur
Is not only not simple body. but not
even an original one, being simply a
common fossil rosin or bitumen. He
finds that when sulphur is melted at
about 20 degrees, it disengages an odor
OF turpeDtine or camphor, and if a
trace of iodine be added the odor be-
comes more marked. IL it be heated
anew to between 100 degrees and $50
degrees, IL loses oxygen and drops to the
level of caoutchouc. Of which latter
IL assumes the color and consistency !;
then, II the brown and viscous LIQUID
which is obtained in this manner be
cooled, ii preserves its nature for a GER
tain length of time, and then resumes
its state of rosin.
