on Occasionally.

The hero Of this adventure Is B. F.
Kelso of Juniper Flat. Juniper Flat IL

nest of tangled, b~rush-coyered hills,
between Lake View and San Jacinto.
Kelso is a big. burly, bearded man.
with a good-humored smile and an

digging manzanita and CROSSWORD.
which he hauls to Riverside and sells
for 81 a cord. One day last week he had
his load all ready to start on his weary
drive across the plains, when the fam
lily heard the dogs barking up on the
hill back of the house. Kelso went for
his gun.
Now this gun Of Kelso's Is a fearful
and wonderful weapon. It had once
been a single-barreled shotgun-but it
had the misfortune. some time in the

Some Of my brave readers who are not

Of Kelso's gun with his thumb, stick
the whole thing at q safe distance from
the face. shut one eye, take animate

WHAT ARE THEY after?
The Trip of the Vanderbilts to
California.
1T IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.
Entire!T Probable That They are
Figuring c.. = Western Ouiles for
the Immense Tramc Handled
by Their Railway syslens.

The activity of New York Central
officials in the west at the present time
is regarded as very significant by those
who have kept posted on western rail-
roads. Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Depew
are now in southern California, and it
is % at all improbable thar their err
rand there is for the purpose of seeing
what can be done toward lettering the
harbor at San Diego. with the end in
view of securing control o. the Union
Pacific main line and the right-of-way
from Salt Lake to the southern Cali
fornia town. With a short line from
Salt Lake through to the coast of the
Golden state the distance would be
shortened by nearly 500 miles, giving
the Union Pacific and its connections
a vast advantage over all competitors
for the through trade. The country to
be opened up by this line is also very
rich in natural resources. possessing
gold and silver mines. Goa! fields and
wonderful agricultural and stock
growing possibilities. With the Union
Pacific main line and this short cut to
southern California as n part of their
great transcontinental system, the
Vanderbilts could tell Mr.. Huntington
to take his Central Pacific and do what
he pleased with it.
In case it is found impossible by the
Vanderbilt interests to secure control
of the Union Pacific main line, it is no
at all improbable that the Il Northwestern
will be extended west from Casper and
a connection made at Sal. Lake with
the new southwest line. This would be
a vast undertaking, but the reward in
through trade would be very great and
probably worth the price.
Everything depends upon the action
of congress and the next month will
tell the story one way or tie other II
a refunding scheme is passed. then the
only hope for the Vanderbil.s would be
in building the extension from Casper,
But if the government should sell the
road the Vanderbilts would likely be
the buyers. There is another conting-
ency. too, even If the refund:ng scheme
should pass. 1t is not improbable that
the Northwestern could make even a
closer traffic alliance covering over a
long period of time than It now enjoys
with the Overland route.

His Skin an Armor.

In Berlin Singhalese battles all in
vestigations by the physicians by the
impenetrability of his skin. The
bronzed fastener, a Hercules in
shape, claims to have found an elixir
which will render the human skin i'm
pervious to any metal point or sharp
ened edge of knife or dagger, and
calls himself the "Msn with Iron
Skin" It is true that it has been i'm
possible to even scratch his skin with
sharply pointed nails, with finely
ground knives and daggers.
He is now exhibiting himself, and
his greatest feat is to pass with his en-
tire body through a hoop, the inside
of which is hardly bie enough to ad-
NIT his body, and is closely set with
sharp knife points. daggers, nails and
other equally pleasant trifes. Through
this hoop he squeezes his body with
absolute impunity. The physicians
do not agree as to his immunity, and
some of them think that Rhannin,
which is his name, is fakir who has,
by long practice, succeeded in harden
ing himself against the Impressions OF
metal upon his skin. The professors
of the Berlin clinic, however. consid-
cred it worth while to lecture about
the mans skin, pronouncing it an in
explicable matter. Daily

Emigration to the South.

It is no longer westward, but south
ward, that the star of empire takes its
way. As set forth in the Times Herald
of a recent issue, the march of emf
grafton is making wide sweep toward
the milder climates of the south, and
men and women are fleeing from re-
gions of eight and nine months winter
to more equable zone. They are be-
ginning to discover that it is an i'm
mense waste of energy and money to
spend more than one-half of their
earnings and two-thirds of their time
in the mere effort to keep warm and
comfortable, when they may have the
condition for nothing.
That this impulse was bound to come
lust as soon as the southern states re-
covered from the effects of the war and
became accustomed 10 new channels OF
business and labor has long been FORE
seen. The progressive southerners
have themselves been alert to bring
about this better day, and their spirit
has been manifested, not only in the
success of the Atlanta exposition, but
in the vast industries that have pros
pered at Birmingham, at CHATTANOOGA,
at Knoxville and other notable points
in the south.
The people understand also that the
negro problem, if not settled, is in
progress of settlement, and that it is
at least no longer source of irrita-
tion. Hence that barrier is thrown
down and there is no deterrent cause
to bar the overflow of humanity from
the buster and more active hives of
the world.-Chicago Times Herald.

Smallest OF Ponies.

During the past two months the
Milne brothers of Mona outh, ILL.,,
have been sending out pictures and
accounts of the "snallest colt in the
world" q diminutive specimen of the
equine species foaled at their pony
farm in July, 1894. This is being
done because of an item which ap-
peared in the Republic during the
summer, and which claimed that an
Indiana Shetland colt belonging to
Harry B. Smith, of Hartford City, was
the "smallest colt ever foaled on
American v" The equine dwarf Of
the Hooslc- State was twenty-one
inches high and weighed twenty-seven
and one-half pounds on the day of its
birth.
Mines "vest pocket edition" colt,
cording to the accounts which were
given at the time, and which have
been revived by the late "curious
note" in this paper, was but twenty
inches high at birth and weighed but
twenty pounds-ons pound exactly
for each inch. This miniature in
horsefesh was named Tom Thumb.
His mother is Kils, one of Mines
pets. She is SO small that an average
sized man can stand astride her and
place both feet squarely upon the
ground without touching her back

Telegra aphic Typewriter.

After laboring for fifteen years on
the problem of rapid telegrapy by
means of the typewriter an inventor
claims to have solved it. The system
is said to print telegraph messages at
the rate of two hundred words min
ute. The message is dictated straight
10 the typewriting operator. By a
device attached to the typewriter q
ribbon about an inch wide is perfor-
ated by series of holes varying in
position and number according to the
character represented. The actual per-
foration OF the tapes is not done di-
rectly by the operator; if the right let
ter is struck on the keyboard the ma
chine automatically does the rest.
When the message is finished the rib
bon is fed into another machine. In
its passage over roller smaller metal
lie fingers press upon it, and as differ
ent holes come under the fingers
electrical connection is made with
the metal roller beneath which
produces the necessary letters.
This machine is in synchropysm
with another machine at the end
of the line, and whatever letters are
produced on one machine, say in New
York, are instantly produced on an
other machine, say in Washington.
The invention can be applied to any
standard typewriter. In the case of
large business firms, newspaper cor
respondents or others using the tele'
graph extensively. punches and rib
bons would be attached to the type
writer's in their offices and the mes
sages would be delivered to the tele-
egraph offices on spools ready for in
slant dispatch. By the new, method
all possibility of tapping or robbing
the message is obviated. The system
is ten times swifter than the Morse
and has the additional advantage of
turning out the message in page form
ready for delivery. The cost for
transmission is brought very low and
the possibilities of the system are sug-
gested by the fact that business men,
instead of sending their letters by
mail, can have them sent by wire at
the same cost as special delivery

Humane Way TO Kill Lobsters.

The question as to whether there
could not be more humane method
of killing Holsters devised, than the
boiling now IN vogue, has been dis
cussed in the London Spectator lately,
and some one said they could be killed
instantly by penknife, and the Spec
tator comes down to details in reply
by saying:
"Amateur lobster catchers off the
Isle of Wight kill the creature by spik:
ing it through the she'll at what looks
like the back of the head with strong
bladed clasp-knife. "
Probably in q few repetitions the
executioners learn exactly where to
strike, for the point is limited spot
known in human physiology as "the
respiratory center"-i. e., the point
which when touched inhibits any
further breathing, and which was
called by Flourens the vital knot. Cat
tie have long been killed by piercing
it, and it seems the most humane OF
all violent deaths. New York Inde-

A Dog With an Extraordinary Record.

An ordinary dog with an extraor-

Brooks, of Belleville, Conn.,, the other
day, and reward that would be large

for his recovery and restoration. The
dogs record Is that he has been pois-

twice. badly scalded once, has had a
butchers knife thrust handle-deep
into him, and was once thrown sixty
feet by the pilot of locomotive.
When the engine tossed him his career
seemed surely ended. His grave was
dug and he was about to be placed in
it when somebody noticed one of his
ears twich. Restoratives wers applied,
he got round, and was soon as frisky
as ever. Mr.. Brooks is anxious to get
his dog back, but the neishbors are
even more anxious to know whether ne
is dead, and, if he is. what can possi-
bly, have taken him off at last. New
