CHAIN OF HUMAN BONES.
Made In Libby Prison by a Member
of q New York Regiment.

Made in Libby Prison by a Member
of New York Regiment.
Cyrus o. Thornton, a farmer living a
few miles out of Bolivar, Mass, has
an odd watch chain. 1t is made of hui
man bones. The chain consists of eight
links, each a trifie more than an inch
long, connected with plated rings. The
chain is about ten inches long and has
been highly polished by years of wear
and glistens like ivory, says the Fall
River News.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1864. He was a member
of company T., Fiftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York infantry made two
chains while confined in Libby prison,
and ON his release met Thornton and
sold him one chain for $50 in green
backs. Thornton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and it
required IS months time to carve out
the chains. For many years after he
came home from the war Thornton
wore the chain every day, but for sew
iral years he has worn it only on Me-
mortal day and at grand army reunions.
Some of his neighbors laughed at the
man bodies, and he sent the chain to 4
surgeon, who examined it and pro-
nouncad it to be of human bones.

North Carolina Man Tells of Inter-
estinG Experiences with Them.
John ". Rusk, of Belport. N. G.,
writes to the New York Sun regarding
the buffalo gnat:
81 think that, as native of North
Carolina would say, the entomoiogists
have not met up with the gnat in ques
ton; possibly it is not distributed over
a large area of the country. / met the
gnats several years ago in Arkansas, on
the bottom lands of the ST. Francis
river, and think they were the greatest
day pest / ever saw. In shape they re-
semble the buffalo somewhat; hence the
name. They do not bite or sting their
victims. They have disagreeable hab
it of flying from the ground and strik-
ing one in the face. But the chief
trouble is that they crawl into the
mouth, nostrils and the ears and deposit
time. The larvae eat away the mem
branes, causing death to large numbers
Of stock of all kinds, and of many game
animals.
1.-The planters on the ST. Francis set
old logs afire in the woods for smoke to
protect stock, which will eagerly rush
TO the smudge and stand in it to get rid
of the pest.
ION one occasion l was kindling fire
to keep off gnats, when large buck
deer came rushing to the smoke and
stood in it. not needing my presence. In
a few minutes flock of wild turkeys
and also four or five wild hogs came for
protection. 1t is not an uncommon
sight to see mule before the pillow,
trudging along with a bucket contain
ing a smudge, hanging from its nose
over the smoke as much as possible. The
gnat cannot stand smoke"

TOPEKA, Kan, June 24,-The worst
hail storm known in the history of
Kansas struck this city shortly after G
o'clock tonight.
Hail stones weighing II to 1G
ounces stripped The trees of their foil
age, smashed window panes on every
hand, including the finest plate glass
store fronts, cut down telegraph and
telephone wires, riddled awnings
and inflicted unprecedented damage
throughout the city.
Dogs We're struck in the streets and
Instantly killed. Horses were knock
ed to their knees to rise again and
dash away in mad fright. Runawavs
occurred throughout the city. When
the fury of the storm had passed dead
birds were found everywhere. A heavy
wind and terrific lightning accompan
led the storm.

SALINA. Kas.. June "a "A terrible
cyclone passed fifteen miles north
west of this city about ] 0 30 last OH
SO far as heard three are dead and a
number dangerously injured. -Four
members of family are also badly
hurt. The family had retired and
when the storm struck they made for
their cave. Before they had gotten
out of the house, however, the tornado
had destroyed it.
At Mrs. Story's half mile east Of
the Geesy place, the family were
sleeping in a stone basement with a
frame upright part. The framework
was blown away and the timber blown
on to the family below, but meme Of
them were killed.
The track of the storm was narrow
but very winding. It tore down three
sides of the Geesy pasture without
passing through the middle of it. 1t
came from the east and after doing its
damage here the main storm divided,
part going west and the rest north.

The Marshes of st. Clair, Raleigh and

AS we neared Jeanette's creek the
food decpened until the ditch was lost
and we could paddle at will in any di-
rection, says Outing. The great plain
looked like lake of muddy water, and
for Is miles in one direction only tops
of tall dead rushes and an occasional
stunted shrub limited that the expanse
was dusty dry during summer.
To the sportsman that drowned level
presented "A picture which will never
he duplicated on this continent. ONLY
the famous English fcns, in their best
days, ever rivaled the marshes of ST.
Clair and Raleigh and Dover Plains
In every direction were floating, or fly-

of thousands of them being in sight at
once. Mallard, black duck, pintail, red
head, bluebill, widgeon, wood duck.
blue and green-winged teal, bufflehead.
ruddy duck, merganser, golden eve,
coot and grebe comprised the bulk OF
that feathered host, but several COM

and snow goose, swept landward and
