NATURAL WADDING,.

A Penobscot County man tells
an amusing boyish experience in
the Lewiston Journal. He ard a
young friend went cunning one fine
fall day. They had old fashioned,
muzzle-loading guns, aud wadding
was necessary part of the outfit.
We came across big hornet
nest in tree, says the narrator,
and boylike climbed up and pulled
it down for wadding We talked
about the merits of different kinds
of wadding, and decided that hor-
nets, material provided by ma
ture, was the best. We con-
cluded to lay in good stock of it,
and began to break it up.
From the inside of the nest we
shook out quantity Of the biggest
hornets [ svor saw, the ferocious
kind that have black bands around
long Lrown body; but they were
stiff, as if frozen, and we dldn't
mind them at all. We turned
them all out, and sat down to rest
and make our new wadding into
nice little rolls,
We sat talking in merry good
hvmor for while, when oil of q
sudden Fred screamed like a wild
Indian and jumped as much as
three feet from the ground. He
gave another yell and, striking to
right and left on his thighs, started
on a wild run for home.
1t was the hornets. He had
chanced to sit down where num-
Der of them fell, and they warmed
up from contact with his body, and
he, 1t seems, warmed up from con-
tact with theirs. Wadding was q
sore subje.t with him for long
time. .-Ex.

II is matter of interest as well
as satisfaction to observe that the
weather predictions made by the
old Indian weather prophets of
Arizona are being realized, says
the Star. A year ago they gave
out that beginning with last sum
mer Arizona would experience a
large amount of rainfall, which
would continue for a period of not
less than fourteen years, giving
abundance of range pasturage and
making it profitable to cultivate in
the fall, winter and spring, many
sections of the mesa lands, especially
for grain, hay and Indian corn. It
is quite evident now that had bar
ley and wheat been planted on the
mesa lands. in this vicinity last
December, that good crops of hay
could have resulted and that with
out irrigation Let us keep our
weather eye on the Arizona Indian
prophets predictions.

It is automatically reported that
the Santa Fe, Prescott q Phoenix
Railway company will extend it's
road from Mesa City to Globe. A
railroad to Globe has been long
falt want, and is of the greatest
Importance to the welfare of The
camp and surroundings. Globe at
present uses 60 tons of coke and
coal daily, and when the United
Globe company's smelters start no,
as well as the Black Warrior and
Continental companies, it will then
be not less than $50 tons. Every
thing in Globe and surrounding

The phenomena of rain are imi :
tated by Prof, Errera of Brussels
university in beakor, The glass,
eight inches tall by FIVE in diane
ter, is half filled with 80 per cent
alcohol, covered with a saucer and
thoroughly heated over a water
bath without boilirg the liquid.
It is then carefully removed to a
wooden table. Soon the alcohol
yapor is condensed into visible
clopds by the cooling saucer, innu-
merable minute droplets of rain
fallaand the clouds hecone gradu :
allylowered away from the saucer.
The miniature storm may last half
an hour. The action is intensified
if the warm saucer is replaced by
a cold one. Whirlwinds and squalls
are produced when the alcohol Is
very warm and if the liquid is
warmer on one side the clouds may
be seen to rotate around horl-
zontal axis.

DEEP MINING,

An exchange says: "Deep min-
ing is in every case the successful
method pursued. 1t is well known
that Grass Valley miners think
nothing of going half mile down
into the earth, of which a notable
example is the old Idaho, which
today has engine, pumping works,
a stable and two mules 1000 feet
under ground, and the total depth
attained is 3l00 feet"
Emphasis is given to the above
statement by the recent announce :
ment made recently that In the
Kennedy mine, in Grass Valley,
at perpendicular depth OF over
2l00 feet body of rich ore, 80
feet in width, has been discovered.
In magnitude the ore body will
compare favorably with any yet
found.
The great need of Arizona is
undou btedly deepssmining. If there
were more deep mines, few in
each distric,, investment and de-
velopment would be greatly slim
ulated. There is an impression in
some quarters, wholly nnwarranted
that our mines do not 60 down,
that the veins are not true 6ssures.
In fact the contrary has proved to
be true-where mines have been
Systematically and intelligently
opened in Arizona, they have gen.
orally improved with depth and
shown the wisdom of deep mining.

The output of Leadvllle district
in 1895 was 1908, ,086, a a falling
off of over $4,000,O00 from 1895
NJ vertheless the figures are re-
markable when it is considered
that the most of this output vas
made up during the first six months
Of the year, with small portion
OF it during the last three months
while for three months there was
virtually not a large property in
the camp shipping. A careful es-
innate of the output for the first
six months of the year proves very
conclusively that, had it not been
for the big strike, Leadville's pro
duction in 1896 would have been
larger than it has been for many
years past.

In Oonstantinople centers the
vastest ambitions of the race Of
czars. For over century the

never altered one iota. She is

she is coming through the Bospho-

purpose is as fixed as fate, and she
is prepared to he as patient as
providence in its accomplishment.
But so long as she exists she will

INSECT LIFE IN ARIZONA,

city are entertaining this week two
distinguished naturalists who have
made extensive researches in the
western field. The guests are
David Bruce, the worlds greatest
entomologist, and DR.. Richard p
Kunze, physician Of New York
city, who has just completed a
campaign of five and half months
among the insects of Arizona, and
is so greatly charmed with Colorado
that he has decided to take up his
residence in this state DR., Kunce
talked iii most entertaining man
ner last evening Of his trip through
Arizona and the peculiarities of
iusect life in the extreme south
west.
''Arizona," said he, in the course
of his remarks, is the Eldorado Of
the entom ologist. The variety of
insect life in Arizona has for years
made the region favorite field for
students and collectors, but every
year new species are found and
new species will be found for years
to come. [ began work In Arizona
in the first week in April last, in
the vicinity of Tucson. During
the season I worked every day. for
the naturalist knows no Sunday
when he is in the field. He must
take the insects in their prime. |
succeeded in collecting between
10000 and $4,000 specimens. I
could have collected much larger
number in certain directions, but
did not want to do so.
The least number of any one
species collected by me during the
summer was 100. / gathered in
only 100 of the scorpion, centipede
and tarantula family"
scorpions !" calculated a lis
tener, 81 should think they would
bite"
The naturalist laughed. Eyes,
they might bite if they had
chance, but 1t is the business of
the collector not to give them
chance. You see we are supplied
with all sorts of paraphernalia for
handling the different insects.
Never let an insect seize you. Do
the seizing yourself. Fear is out
of the question. We face the
music and take the chances.
"The tarantula hawk" said the
learned naturalist, "is one of the
peculiar little animals abounding
in Arizona. The hawk preys upon
the tarantula, hence his name. He
is built for hunting them and he
does it to perfection, You can
see the hawks crawling along the
ground in search of their prey
They have long legs and move like
lighting when a. tarantula heaves
in sight. In an instant the hawk
pounces upon the poor tarautula,
and before the victim is aware of
the danger the deadly weapon of
the enemy is implanted in his
body. The hawk simply deposits
a poison inside the body OF the
tarautula, which paralyzes him. In
connection with the poison he de-
posits an egg, which proceeds to
hatch out, and caterpillar is the
result. The young caterpillar feeds
on the body of the tarantula until
he is ready to undertake house
keeping on his own account. There
are Two species of tarantula hawks,
distinguished by the color of their
wings. A peculiar thing is that
each species has its particular kind
of tarantula to look after. Den

HON. w. J. BRYAN.
How He Acted at the Wreck
 on the santa Fe.

Hon. J. T. Lesueur. of this place, re-
 turned from an eastern trip last Sum- day. MT. Lesueur was a passenger on one of the trains recently collidIng on
 the Santa Fe railroad, near Emporia.
 Kansas, and states that when the pas
 sengers alighted from the rear cars,
 broke up into little parties and pro-
 ceeded to the work of rescuing the un-
 fortunates confined in the wreck, he
 found himself in. the same party with
 Hon. w. J. Bryan, late candidate for president. This party, composed of six or eight gentlemen, rescued Engineer Frisbv and several others.
 MT. Lesueur, ln speaking of the va- rious newspaper accounts regarding the conduct of MT. Bryan at the time, said very few of them were exactly fair. Some of them were highly colored in favor of MT. Bryan. while some others did not do him justice Only one or two of them. notably that of the Kan sas City Times, gave an accurate &C., 
 Mr. Lesueur says the plain, unvar- nished truth is that MT. Bryan did his duty. just like any other American cit izen would do under like circumstances. MT. Bryan dld all that he was able to do-more than some, not as much as much as younger and more active men. He stayed and assisted as long as there was any need for his services, after which he went into his car and sat down. MT. Bryan was not any more excited than many others, but behaved exactly as any other well-reguIated cit izen might be expected to do at any public disaster-slmply made himself as useful as he could. He did not even try to direct the movements of the squad with whom he was working, but lent hand to pull the wounded men out of the wreck. Of course. during thIs time he was very gentle in hand ling and sympathetic Tn his talk to the unfortunate men, and performed many acts of kindness. But then, every one of the rescuers did the same.
 The attempt to either make hero of MT. Bryan. iu some quarters, or to de- tract from his actual services. in oth- CTS, are both wrong, as MT. Lesueur says that at the time of relieving the unfortunate men, the party had no time to talk politics or indulge in any or encomiums on any one The whole matter is that mems lives were in danger, and the humanity of MT. Bryan came to the surface, just as it did to every member of the party with whom he was working.

Some Peaches.

Supervisor ". H. Gibbons favored us with 8 basket of peaches this week The fruit was grown in his orchard here and are certainly the finest we have ever seen. They could hardly be equalled in any country, and surpassed Tn none. Finer fruit than we have in this valley this year does not grow on trees, and there is an abundance of it.
 Since writing the aboveitem, Mrs. A. V. Gibbons, of this place, sent sam pie from her orchard, which for size, flavor and appearance are certainly un- surpassed. Seven of these weighed four pounds and nearly filled a ten pound lard bucket. Mrs. Gibbons has quite a number of trees bearing this choice fruit, and all of them loaded. Some idea of the size of these peaches may be gained when four of them were over nine inches in circumference, and the other three measured oyer ten. They were of the freestone class, and their flavor was in exact proportion to their size, and theIr coloring was very beautiful.
