BABY ouRANe.
An Interesting Passenger Arrives on the
Local Train Today.

By far the most interesting passenger
on the incoming local train today was
Joe Storm. Joe Is baby ourang
outang. He was captured in the jungles
of Borneo, and is quite civilized INF COM
parison with the alleged "wild man of
Borneo.'' Captain Hugo Storm, whose
home Is in Tacoma, while hunting in
the forests of the island nearly three
years ago was attacked by the mother
and father ourang outang. He had to
shoot them in self defense. There were
two babies-a ''boy'' and 'sgirl." He
left the girl baby with friend, and took
Joe to Tacoma, disposing of him to its
present owners, the Edwards Bros, who
will exhibit him for few days in this
city.
A reporter of THE CHRONICLE was per-
mitted to see him this afternoon. It
presents very human appearance, its
ears being identically the same as human
ears. The hands and feet are very large
in proportion to its body, but are as
natural as human hands, as are also the
finger nails. The exhibitors say it has
every bone of the human body, located
in the same manner, with the exception
OF the bones of the nose, which are en-
Atirely missing. The reporter was also
Informed that there is but one other
ourang outang in existence in the
United States at the present time, and
Joe is the fifth ever brought to America.
Prof. Darwin, on discovering the exist
ence of this manlike creature, declared
there was but one link to connect it with
humanity, and this missing link is yet
being sought in the wilds of Africa.
Prof. Garner has learned many words
of their language.
Joe is not very communicative, but it
is evident he understands many things
said to him in English. He is only
baby yet and will acquire more
knowledge with growth. He per-
formed several things directed him to
do today, such as marking with pencil,
washing his face and the glass in his
cage, etc. This animal has now the
strength of boy of years of age, and
will reach maturity at Is, if he lives.
And there is the rub. They are not
tenacious of life in northern climates,
and have never yet lived but few years
after being in captivity.

The weather and Its Erects.

The following comments appear in the
current weather bulletin, issued by
Signal Observer B. S. Pague:
Some old inhabitants recall former
winters as mild as the one just past has
been, but such mild winters are ex-
tremely rare. The winter throughout
has been milder than has heretofore
been recorded since records have been
made, now covering a period of % years.
The weather was exceedingly favorable
to farming operations. Flowing and
seeding were actively prosecuted
throughout the month as in January.
The stock was unsheltered, and range
grass was good. The result is cattle and
sheep are in prime condition. FaIl-sown
grain has made good start, and the
winter-sown is in excellent condition.
Toward the close of the month, peach,
almond and apricot were swelling their
buds, and in favored localities were in
full bloom. The cold period of March 1
and killed all those buds in full bloom,
which comparatively were few, but
others were retarded in their develop
ment, which proved of benefit rather
than of injury. Roses made new wood
of from four to twelve inches in length
during the month. Tulips, hyacinths
and other early Towering bulbs bloomed
in the open air in many localities. Berry
and currant bushes put forth leaves.

fun with him. He knew that his fish
were all of the male variety, and that
eggs in them would therefore be scarce,
so he offered to sell them for 10 cents
apiece, the customer to buy them all
and take his chances. The offer was
unsuspectingly accepted. Fish after fish
was opened and of course no eggs.
When five were opened the Eastern man
began to betray anxiety, and when
the tenth still failed to develop the
coveted ova, the anxious look resolved
into one of dismay. However he was in
for it and was game. The string was all
examined, and still no eggs rewarded
the search, and calmly but resolutely
the eastern fisherman handed over a
dollar and a fraction over, screwed up
his face to an assumed look of pleasure,
which nevertheless was little grim,
and resumed his tramp toward the
creek.

iety.

Mt. Hood Camp, Woodmen of the
World, gave another ''smoker" last
evening to a crowded house of members
and invited guests, which consisted of
songs, speeches, games, oranges and
lemonade. The session was opened by
a song from the camps "glee club,' fol-
lowed by an address of welcome by
Neighbor John Michel, which was
heartily applauded. A trio by Mr. Per-
kins and Clarke Brothers called forth q
hearty encore, and the solos by Messrs.
Perkins, Clarke and Doane were APP
plauded to the echo. But the happiest
hit of the evening was a witty address
on Woodcraft and its wonderful expan1
sion by Neighbor Charley Stephensl
The entertainment was closed by readl
ing by DR.. Doane that brought down the
house, and, by the way, he has conf
sented to read it at the D. of n. and
Circle. The social resulted in large
number of applications, making thirty
in the last two weeks. ''Tony" Will

plicants for the evening, who will there

breaking Him In.

An inexperienced youth from the East
whom Westerners delight for some oc-
cult reason to dub "Lenderfoot," had an
experience yesterday which viii linger
in his memory for some time. Equipped
with rod and line, he started for Mill
creek, where mossy banks and ripping
waters conceal the wary trout, much the
same as do the little streams which
abound in Yankeeland. He wanted
trout eggs to fish with, and meeting a
returning fisherman with fine string
of fish, struck him for a dicker. The
bound sport, by some hidden and
rapid process of reasoning, correctly
located the stamping ground of his
questioner and determined to have some

Prof. j. A. Churchill of the Baker

pupils how to act in case of fire breaking
out. On Monday the directors of the

his practice once a month, turned in a
fire alarm and in less than minute the
building was vacated. The drill was
executed faultlessly.
Mr.. A. Keller has secured the services

FOlLlNG THE FIRE FIEND.
A Good Thing That Pushes Itself Along
In d beautiful Way.

A merchant of Gowanda has invented
a most remarkable apparatus for saving
stocks of goods from fire. Instead of
putting out the fire, the apparatus: opens
the front Of the store, and the counters,
cases and shelving roll out into the
street into their owners arms.
The shelving and counters i'll the store
are all portable and mounted on rollers.
Attached to the rear end of the shelly
ing is cable which runs forward and
over wheel below the floor in the front
of the store. To this end of the cable are
suspended weights sufficiently heavy to
overbalance the shelving, cases and
goods in them. A brake device keeps
the weights from setting the machine
going. Attached to the lever of the
brake is q combustible cord which
passes upward into the store and is car
ried alCng the walls and ceiling, where
it will he quickly ignited in case of fire.
The sunderirg of the cord looscs the
brake, the weights bear ON the cable,
and the shelves start helter shelter for
the front Of the building. At the same

matically outward, and the entire con-
tents of the store are dumped on the
sidewalk i'll jiffy. To frustrate the de-
signs of fire thieves tho shelves fold up
when they reach the street, presenting
only blank wood and glass.
Those who have seen the apparatus
tested say that it works admirably. One
night mouse found something palata-
BILE in the brake cord and gnawed it in
two, whereupon, much to its consterna-
tion the furniture, boxes and shelves,
with one accord began a swift move
ment forward, and an automatic alarm
attached to the machine began to rouse
all the inhabitants of GoWanda, the
hour being 2 o'clock il the morning.
The ingenious inventor was one of the
first on the scene, and his disgust at be-
ing routed ont by false alarm was
greatly mitigated by the spectacle of
the smooth working of his machine. 1t
seems to be a good thing and pushes it.

The Sierra Neyadas.

DR.. Turner, who has mado the geolo-
gy of the ), ezra Nevada long time
study, has published a monograph in
which he asserts, with plausible reason
ing, that the many kinds Of rock char
acterizinS that formation have been
formed i'll part by deposition beneath
the sea, and i'll part by intrusion as ig-
neous masses, also by eruption from
volcanoes and portions of them have
been subsequently metamorphosed.
While the southern portion of the range
is composed Of granite, he finds that the
central and northern part, west of longi-
tude 1870 degrees, consists prevailingly
of schists, these having been produced
by intense metamorphism of both an
cient sediments and igneous rocks, and
it is in these schists, chiefly though not
solely, that the auriferous quartz veins
occur.
Further, the trend of the bonds of al
tered sediments and of their schistose
structure is generally from northwest
to southeast, parallel to the trend of the
range, but great masses of granite and
other iSneous rocks have been intruded
among the schists, forming irregular
bodies, which interrupt the regular
structure and which are generally bor-
dered each by zone of greater meta
sociated igneOus masses, form the older
of the two great groups of rocks recog-
nized in the Sierra Nevada.
