Red Turtles In a Boiling Spring.

That portion 81 southern or lower
California called Hell's Half Acre
appears to be situated directly over a
substratum Of fire, which causes the
mud and water to boil as il in cal
dron. At one place on the Half Acre
there are over 100 boiling springs and
hot mud geysers on a plat Of ground
that is not of greater extent than COM
mon city square The chief spring in
this queer aggregation Of boiling and
spouting jets Of mud and water is called
the Fountain Of the Boiled Turtles
on account of its curious habit of coca
sionally ejecting numbers Of small red
turtles. The temperature Of this spring
is 226 degrees, 14adegrees higher than
the temperature required to boil water
under ordinary atmospheric pressure.
Notwithstanding the fact that the. tenn
perature is sufficient to boil meat per-
fectly within few minutes, the small
red turtles spoken Of live and breed
there just as the ordinary variety does
in waters Of common lakes. rivers and
other streams. The spring is called the
Fountain Of Boiled Turtles because
the queer, hard shelled creatures which
inhabit it have the appearance Of being
cooked perfectly done. st. Louis Re-

Monkeys. Have No Fleas.

It is curious that monkeys should be
thought to be infected with what nat
uralists call the pulex irritans and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
AS every zoologist is aware, monkeys
have neither fieas nor any other para
site whatsoever; in which, Of course.
they differ vastly from man.
As a matter of fact, when monkeys
begin to pick each other about in the
friendly way we have all observed, they
merely detach bits Of hardened sebace-
Gus matter which has been excreted by
the glands, and the flea idea is entirely
fabulous. - earson's Weekly.

DID 1T HURT Your

A Question That Is Often Ont of Place
and Unnecessary.
The old hymn in Sam Taylor's " Orig
inal POEMS beginning with "Who ran
to help me when fell?" ought to have
provisional clause added to it. The
person who hastens to help sufferer
who has been shocked by a fall should
not say single word. OF course the
benevolent bystander is brimful Of
questions: where are you hurt3"
Have you. sprained your ankle1" and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down fight Of
90 steps or from a piazza 10 feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than If you had thrown yourself on q
down pillow onlysa foot away.
OF course you are hurt, and the nerve
shock is SO great that any sort Of ques-
tion, even if they shall fc.ch hot
water, is an additional blow to the nerv-
GUS system. You are suffering, per-
haps, too much to speak, yet they pelt
you with questions while every power
Of your body is endeavoring to regain
self control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that fit
hurts'' q hundred times more for being
summoned to speak and to diagnose
yourself.
All instructions in the line Of First
aid to the injured should begin with.
''Be perfectly silent when you run to
lift or help person who has been
knocked down or who has fallen and is
still partly dazed with the tremendous
shock" Let it be for the sufferer to
say, "Oh, my headP' or sob, my leg!"
or back. He will indicate as soon as it
is necessary the injured part, but mean
while you are driving him nearly fran
tic by asking about it. These simple yet
important directions do not seem to be
impressed upon the average helpful
mind.
Tact, Of all things, is as necessary as
knowledge Of q tourniquet made from
stick and a pocket handkerchief. Hot
water, Of course, is required for all
bruises and sprains, but let it be
brought without asking. The relief to
the victim of an accident in having
swift and noiseless helpers about him or
her-absolutely silent, yet knowing ex-
actly what to dds very great. Any
one who "has been there" knows it all.
Yet how quickly is it forgotten when
we run to lift up somebody else and be-
gin to pelt him with: Where did it
hurt your Are you hurti''-Phila-
delphia Record.

An Eccentric Man.

The late Michael Beamish, who lived
for years in little cabin on Florida
avenue in Summit, N. j., and died
there, was man Of many eccentricities.
During his entire residence in Summit
Ia period of 40 years he never shaved
or cut his hair, and since 1878 he had
never been outside his own gate. A few
years ago he used to point an ancient
musket at anybody who came near his
home. but recently he contented himself
with running indoors and hiding. He
was q sailor and had twice been ship
wrecked.

The NELSON CAsE.-The case of
John Nelson, indicted for murder, gan
bling (2 and felonious shooting, came up
IN the County Court this morning be-
fore Jcdga Love. The prisoner was
represented by Messrs. Edmund Burke
and l.. G. Barley, ard the Common.
wealth by Commonwealth Attorney
Johnston and Mr.. A. W. Armstrong.
When the case was called the defense
moved to quash the capias and dis
charge the prisoner on all four indict-
ments on the ground that the record
failed to show of which of the special
ofenses the prisoner was to be arrested
under the capiss. The Commonwealth
moved to strike out this upon the
ground that whatever pleas or motions
were made, must be made in each spe-
cial case as they were tried. In this
the Commonwealth was sustained and
exceptions were noted. The court
then directed the prisoner to be ar
ragged, wherenpon the defense filed
plea to have Nelson discharged, four
terms of court having passed without
a trial and without motion for con-
tinuance, and that under the statutes
he is entitled to be discharged. The
plea also asked that the indictments be
quashed. The double barreled plea
required little study on the part of
the Commonwealth and on their mo-
ton receas was taken till 8 o'clock.
When Court met this evening the
Commonwealth fled replication TO
the plea of the defendant, and sf;er
argument the case was continued till
Wednesday, November 81.

BETTER FACILITIES The Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Compsny, to accommo-
date the merchants and shippers Of AL
eyandris, has recently put on an addi-
lional freight train between this city
and WashingtOn, making six daily
freight trains between the two cities.
BIZ this means merchants are not kept
waiting at all for their freight from the
North East or West, for as soon as it
arrives in Washington it is immediate
y shipped to this city, thus enabling
them to carry much Of their stock in
The cars. The willingness of the Penn
sylvAnia company to give every facility
to the city merchants and shippers
causes many TO wonder why that COM
pauy has SO long delayed erecting q
suitable depot building in Alexandria.
There is no town of 500 inhabitants
ilong the entire length OF that railroad
but has better depot building than
Alexandria.
