sesepcr and shower- or MOOD.

No phenomena Of nature have excited
more widespread CONSERVATION in either
ancient or comparatively modern times
than the so,calIed "rqins Of blood" The
people OF antiquity regarded such oc-
currences as dire wanderings and por-
tents, and in the present century their
occasional happenings have given rise
% much wonder, and, in some cases
actual fear. However modern science
has been able to cope with the "blood
rain question just as 1t his with many
Of the other knotty problems which
bother THE wise heads of olden times.
The metrorologists of these latter days
have been able 10 ascertain the causes
which produce these remarkable precip-
itations, and have accounted for them by
giving reasons which prove shuch
showers to be very commonplace phe-
nomena.
In 1910 there was a "rain Of blood" at
Turin, and in 1901 sueh a shower was |
reported along the Mediterranean. Ac
cording to the ancient wondermongers
snch phenomena were comparatively
common during the Dark Ages in all
parts OF Europe, but the accounts OF
them which have been preserved are so
as 10 be of no value whatever to
the compiler of data on odd things in
nature.
In 1871 a "bloody rain" fell in Paris,
and it is from that "fall" that we get our
first scientific data on such occurrences.

Woodward would have been In posses
sion of some of the money of Benjamin
Llllard, a publisher in the Downing
building, on Fulton street, this city, in
stead of travelling to the Golden Gate on
the back of a patient, but understood
steed.
Woodward aud Lillard were passen-
gers on one of the Atlantic liners just
before election. LIZARDS confidence in
the result led him to bet Woodward
money against donkey ride to San
Francisco that Mckinley would be
elected. The terms of the bet, on Wood
wards side, are not as "freaky" as It
would at tlrsl appear, when It is known
that Mr.. Woodward makes a speciality of
going long distances on the backs of
donkeys, In fact, he has travelled over
much of Europe In this way.
When the election decided that Wood.
ward should cross the continent on
donkey back, the day after Thanksgiv-
ing was fixed upon for the start to be
made.
There are two conditions In the bet,
the non.observance of which wouldcost

Ouray, Colo, Dec. 2I.-A frightful &C.
cident occurred in the Virginus mine
near here this morning, by which five
men were almost instantly dashed into
eternity. The dead are:
Gabriel Russ
John Antras.
Charles Swanson.
Charles Anderson.
Louis Jackson.
The accident occurred in the shaft of
the Virginus mine, where the unfortu.
nate men were at work repairing the
timbering of the shaft.
They were working from the cage
suspended in the shaft, having it raised
and lowered as they progressed with
their work. Just what caused the acct
dent is not positively known.
The men were severa! hundred feet
below the shaft house when their last
signal was given for the movement of
the cage.
The engineer, in answering the sig.
nal, was Mortified to find the cable con-
meeting the hoist with the cage had be-
come slack, and he instantly realized
the awful fate of the five workmen.
There was nothing to obstruct the
descent of the cage, and it fell with
lightning rapidity to the bottom of the
shaft, which is I,4oo feet deep. The
shock was terrific and the CAGE was
broken into thousands of pieces, the men
'eing crushed into shapeless masses in

IDLY mangled.
The dead men were well known in

Curious Cuban Caves.

There is a series of small and large
caverns in the marble rocks of the Gu
ban nouptains which are being gradually
filled up, and that too, in most remark
able manner The common land snails
of which there are many species and
varieties in Cuba, make tn, Sc caves
resort during the dry season. They con-
gregate on the floors of the caverns in
immense numbers and millions of them
never leave. The reason is this:
The water which drops from the COS
or ceilings of the different caverns con-
tains large per cent of carbonate of
lime. When the water evaporates the
lime is left behind and. acting as 4 Gem
ent, it CLUES great layers of the small
hells together every year. This pro-
cess going on season after season is
gradually filling up the Cuban caves,
and il is only a question of time when
here will not be single cav ern left on

Our Congress is prohibited by the

In connection with the ministry of such
fanatics is the fact that they can per-
suade persons who are supposed to have
a fair amount of brains to believe that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 FIVE different sects have
been founded in the United States the
members of which claim the ability of
either themselves or their founder to
live forever. Each of these queer COM
munities has been known by its neigh.

known as the "children of Zion" Their
