Gold in the Streets.

Some little excitement was mani
tested in the streets of Apex, Colo, re-
Gently, caused by the finding of sew
enty-three grain nugget of gold in the
center of the town. Several days pre-
viously three of the business men
rugged up a sluice box in the creek
which runs through the town and be-
gan washing dirt from the creek banks.
They began work more for the amuse-
ment of the thing than as business
proposition, but soon discovered that
there was much more gold in the
gravel than they had anticipated.
When they made their first cleanup
they were much surprised at the
amount of coarse gold obtained,
among which was one nugget weigh
ing seventy-three grains.
Pine Creek has never been consid-
cred placer camp, but one thing is
certain, and that is that the town Of
Apex is located on ground that con-
tains no small amount of gold, and the
vein from which this gold came must
be good one. AS yet this vein has not
been opened up, but it can now be def
nitely located, and probably will be
worked in the near future.--New York
Herald.

The Delicious Guinea Pig.

We do not yet appreciate the tailless
cavy, or guinea pig, as an article OF
human food. In France they sell them
for rabbits, and there are three farms
in this country where they are reared,
and which export them to France, one
farmer alone exporting oyer $50, 900 of
the little beasts. The favor of the
meat is said to be identical with that
of rabbit meat. These animals need
constant attention to keep them out Of
mischief, as they are little demons to
fight, and they have habit OF chew
ing up whatever fragments they find
scattered about till they die of gastric
congestion. In their habits they are
subject to unaccountable panics, and
often rush about squeaking, and then
huddle together quietly for the rest OF
the day. They are very prolific, and
the young are not blind like the young
of the rabbit, and often when only two
days old, it is said, will eat grass and
sop.
On the farm they are fed on sop
made of milk and stale but not sour
bread, along with green stuff, barley
and hay. In guinea pig farming, as in
quail farming, it is admitted that large
profits are made-due, no doubt, to the
fact that there is so little competition.
Probably the rabbit you so much en-
joyed at your hotel dinners when tour
ing in France was simply the humble
cavy dressed up.

Divers's Experience with Locomotive.

The raising of locomotive from the
Chicago River, near Kinzie street, Chi
cago has been accomplished by the
Chicago Dredging and Dry Dock Com
pany. The engine and tender of a
suburban train on the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway fell into
the river at the open drawbridge, the
engine lying in about eighteen feet of
water. After lifting out the tender and
the engine truck by means of der
rick, diver was sent down and found
that the engine lay almost on it's side,
with the front end sunk about four
feet In the mud. The diver passed
line under the forward end of the
boiler, and thus a heavy chain was
passed under, while another chain was
fastened inside the firebox door.
The chains were attached to two
scows, partly filled with water, and on
the water being pumped out the loco
motive was raised sufficiently to enable
it to be moved across the river, and
there let go at a point where there
was more room for getting it ashore.
The two scows were then placed on
either side of the submerged engine,
and chains attached to the four driving
wheels and the smokebox were carried
up to six heavy timber levers carried
on fourteen feet of blocking on the
scows. These were operated by jack
screws, toggles gripping the chains
while the levers were lowered for
another lift. When the engine was
raised between the scows they were
swung round to drop it on temporary
track laid down the bank. The work
was done by fourteen men, and, owing
to the small space available, about
seven days were required to do it.

the numberless twinkling lights of the
bicycles, and in the background on one
scorcher known only about the park
and the Cony Island cycle path.
Although the exhibition was called
the opening one, it really was not, for
on the Thursday night before the foun-
tain was tested before large and en-
thusiastic crowd. Mayor Wurster and
other city officials were there to lend
dignity to the occasion. AS soon as it
was dark enough, the operator turned
on the water and the lights, and the
show began.
The scene was most picturesque. A
circle with radius of 100 feet had
bee roped off about TIE fountain, both
side was the great arch, looming up
white and ghostlike, and on the other
the dazzling cluster of arc lights high
up on the big water tower.
Shortly after s O'Clock there was
sound of rushing water, and high into
1he air rose a great column from the
center of the fountain. Then about it's
sides rose other and smaller columns
that fell toward the center in graceful
curves, all of them dazzling white.
The operator pushed the buttons and
the water became brilliant reds,
green's, blues and colds. The colors
chased each other and danced as the
spouting streams took on different
forms.
Then a new element came in to add
it's bit to the picture. From the high
water tower on the hill came the fierce,
white rays of searchlight. 1t would
strike the Kaleidoscope fountain and
try to beat down the colors there But
the colors refused to be beaten down,
and the searchlight would seek for
other prey. Sometimes it would light
full on the face of a baby in peram-
bulator; sometimes it would dart up
the little wooded L.. to lie left of the
plaza and disclose to the public gaze
some fond spooning couple. Then it
would be turned down the bicycle path
and make the planet-like lamps dwin-
die into Insignificant and twinkling
stars.
All this time the fountain was giving
forth it's jets and colors in thousand
different forms. At 9 the waters
stopped flowing, and the trolley cars
and bicycles and carriages took the
crowd home.-New York Sun.

A Hungry Horse.

In Wisconsin town there is hand
some bay horse, owned by a lady who
usually feeds the animal herself One
morning, recently, she went to the sta
BILE and found the horse not in his
stall. After search of some moments
he was found in the hay-loft. He un-
doubtedly had been seized with the
lpangs of hunger during the night, and,
lbreaking \his halter, had ascended a
flight of narrow barn stairs to the
floor above, where he was able to feast
to his hearts content. But how was
the horse to get down again? The wo-
man was unequal to the emergency,
and sent for veterinary surgeon, who
proved to be man of resource. He
threw the horse on its side, chloro-
formed it and then slid it downstairs
on a plank.

ELECTRIC WATERS.
KALEIDOSCOPE DANCE OF A MYRIAD
OF STREAMS.

Brooklyn's New Electric Fountain - BY
Pushing Buttons the Water Becomes
Brilliant Reds, Greens, Blues and Colds
Spouting Streams of Color.
About half of the population OF
Brooklyn turned out to witness the
first public exhibition of the new elec-
trio fountain in Prospect Park plaza.
They came to the plaza by the thou
sands, in trolley cars, on bicycles, In
baby carriages, on foot, and in sidebar
buggies not quite large enough to be
wholly comfortable ON warm night
for two persons Indifferent to each
other They began coming long before
8 O'Clock, the time for the show to be-
gin, and the big plaza was packed with
enthusiastic Brooklynites from one
side to another, innumerable tiny gaps
in the crowd showing where the baby
carriages were.
On the outskirts of the crowd were
the bieyclists, thousands of them, rang
ing from staid old men and women to
the gum-chewing, bloomer-clad girl
to keep the small boy from wadlng
around in the basin and from break
ing lamps, as they did on THURSDAY
night; also to give more persons an
opportunity to see the lights. Packed
in around this rope and reaching back
to the borders of the plaza, blocking
the roads and the car tracks, was the
crowd Conservative persons said
hundred thousand men, women and
children were there. On all sides were

BY CYCLE TO KLONDlKE.
A Wheel of Special Design to Carry the
Gold Miners.

Gold Miners.
One of the most novel of the many
schemes to obtain a share of the
wealth of the Klondike region has
been developed by syndicate of four
wealthy New York business men, who
are planning to establish trading posts
and stores in the mining camps, and
also to purchase all promising claims
on the market. They will transport
their men and supplies to the gold
fields on a bicycle specially designed
for the purpose.
The Klondike bicycle will be used
over the 700 miles between Juneau and
the gold fields by the Chilkoot Pass
trail.
Every miner who goes to the gold
fields must take with him about one
thousand pounds of supplies, and the
only way to transmit them is for him
to carry them on his back The most
that a man can carry for any distance
is 200 pounds. The method now in
vogue is to carry one load about five
miles. hide it so that it will not be
destroyed by animals, and then go
back for another load. In this tedious
way the SOOuS dT0 uUdlly IlduopOl lCu
to their destination.
The Klondike bicycle is specially de-
signed to carry freight, and is in real
ity a four wheeled vehicle and BIZ
cycle combined. 1t is built very strong
ly and weighs about fifty pounds. The
tires are of solid rubber one and half
inches in diameter The frame is the
ordinary diamond, of steel tubing,
built, however, more for strength than
appearance, and wound with rawhide,
shrunk on. to enable the miners to
handle it with comfort in low tempera-
tures From each side of the top bar
two arms of steel project, each arm
carrying a smaller wheel, about four
teen inches in diameter, which, when
not in use, can be folded up inside the
diamond frame.
Devices for packing large quantities
of material are attached to the handle
bars and rear forks, and the machine,
it is estimated, will carry five hundred
pounds.
The plan is to load it with half the
miners equipment, drag 1t on four
wheels ten miles or so. Then the rider
will fold up the side wheels, ride it
back as bicycle and bring on the rest
of the load.

He advances. The ice melts beneath her

Gazing he sees her foot is daintily poised
on an open buttercup. On her head
CLEANS a star of dazzling brilliancy. She
waves her wand and a tiny bark is at
her feet Hope enters the boat. Her sail,
a spider web of purest GOLD, glittered in

sparkling gems, floats a golden bear.

side of the yacht kept up steady fire with
their repeating rifles and several sayages
sank.
The white men found allies at this
point upon whose aid they could not have
counted. While the yacht on both sides
was sending out an unbroken stream OF
fire ;he waters of the lagoon were cut by
swiftly moving black tns. A large school
OF man-eating sharks had entered the
lagoon and attacked the savages. Brave
as they were the savages could not stand
this double attack and swan away for the
shore as fast as possible.
Still the canoes came on silently and
swiftly. The first of them had come
within five hundred feet when the Maxim
gun resumed its work. Half dozen
canoes were pierced and flied with water.
To these canoes the sharks fastened.
