CENTRAL PAC1FIC.s DEFAULT.
Huntington Makes Statement Con-
corning EeyOtia lions i'm Progress,

corning Negotiations in Progress.
New York. Jan. 3.-Regarding the
default by the Central Pacific railroad
on January / on its indebtedness of
Sl0,6f4,1 120 to the Government. Mr. c..
p. Huntington said today:
This is the first default by the Cen
tral Pacific in its history. Negotia-
tions regarding the matter have been
in progress between the Government
and the company and one is now in
progress. Both interests are perfectly
in harmony. 1t is true the position
is somewhat analogous to that of the
Union Pacific Company. though that
company was in default to much
greater etYent. ] think that receiv-
ership would, however, be very bad
thing. The receipts of the road, am
satisfied, would fall almost immedi-
ately at least one-third in case Of n
receiyership. A foreclosure, however
could be arranged for by the Govern
naent without necessitating receiver
ship.
''Of course the matter would be
talked about in Congress. That is to
be expected. and there are at the pre-
sent time half a dozen men in Con-
gress preparing bills for buying and
confiscating the road. But they are
only half a dozen out of 447. and / do
not think their actions will have any
weight.

MILD WINTER, SURE.

Hornets Nests Are Low, Nuts Are
Scarce. IND Weeds Are short.
"Wc'u have a mild winter. unless my
signs fail me-" says Henry Rife, the old
est farmer in Laltukenny township, n.
Y, according to an exchange, who iIas
all his life been noted as n weather
prophet among the folks along The
North mountains, land I guess this
from the hornets, the nuts, and the
woods. notice that the hornets have
built their nests low. They would be
high up out Of reach, were we going to
have Il hard winter. / can't explain
this, but my father and grandfather a.
ways gauged by this. Then nuts of all
kinds are scarce. There are hardly any
chestnuts, shellbarks, or acorns. If
hard winter was coming the Good Map
would have provided for the animals
that must starve this year if the snow
lies deep. A big crop of nuts is always
followed by hard winter, and this also
works the other way. Then I notice
that the weeds have grown up short,
and their seeds hang near the ground.
Were hard winter coming the weeds
would have grown up tall, SO that when
the snow would lie deep the birds could
hop along on the snow and get the seeds
from the top of the plants. If the weeds
are covered with snow for long time.
the birds can't get any feed. The Good
Man looks after the birds, too, and /
don't believe they will starve this win
ter on account of the berries and seeds
being covered with snow. For these
three reasons think we'll have mild
winter"

Seven Hundred Years of Coal.

According to the most authentic
history of the coal trade, last year
marked the seven hundredth anniver-
sary of the use of coal as fuel. TAX
ing the most moderate estimate of
the antiquity of man. and considering
the fact that the coal was always here,
it appears that we were Il long time
IN availing ourselves of this most val
liable asset which nature placed at
our disposal. Many civilizations
fiourished and died out without it's
use and it ruay be said that it's po-
tentialities, as factor in the progress
of mankind. were never realized fully
unit. the present century. UP to its
dawn, aside from the warming Of the
body and the cooking Of food, little
importance was attached to the fuel
question. For these purposes
a few fagots or billets of wood sufficed.
But in time we discovered that in the
fire there WAS a giant thousand
times more powerful than the tabled
monsters OF antiquity.
Then the fuel question became the
all.important one. With it's aid all
the miracles of the ages were to be
surpassed. Give to nation or
community abundant fuel, and it
could levy greater tribute upon the
rest Of the world than had ever been
exacted by the greatest conquerors
When it's possibilities we're realized,
and when mankind was ready to take
advantage of them, behold it was
found ready to hand, stored in the
earth in the shape of coal. This has
been called an age of iron and steel;
but little claim would it have to that
designation were it not for coal.
More than gold or iron, or Kings. or
Princes, or battles, or revolutions, has
it affected the fate Of mankind. II Is
a notable anniversary. and it is sur
prising that more should not have
been made OF it.--Pittsburg Times.

HIs NOSE WAS Hls EYE.
Strange Result OF an Accident 10 q
Sixteenth CentuFX Man.

Strange Result OF an Accident 40 q
Sixteenth Century Man.
Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
tuTy mentioned the existence of a man
who, having lost his cyesight, could
see through his nose, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The story, much doubted
at the time and pronounced fabulous
by physicians, is nevertheless true if
the researches of L. Douliot prove cor
rect. 1t seems that the victim had lost
his right eye early in' life, and later
On while climbing Gu cherry tree fell
lating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in consid
cred the eye entirely destroyed, sewed
up the wound and it healed in time,
forming large scar where the eye
had been. a year later the man, then
considered stoneblird, lay in the grass,
when he surprised himself by Giscov-
erirg that he could perceive through
the cavity of the nose the sky and the
color of the flowers on the meadow
around him. From that time on he
practiced for five or six years to see
with his nose, which to him became
practically the organ of vision. He
gradually became more proficient in
seeing in this way and could see every
thing beneath him while he remained
quite insensible to the light from above,
The condition of this man can be
explained scientifically. Although the
lens CT the eye had been torn from its
socket by the fall, the optic mem brane
and the nerves at the rear of the cavity
OF the eye had retained some OF the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole i'll the bone over
the nose must have formed which acted
as a lens in the same way as n Tinholc
can be used to take a photogrd L&ic pic
ture. This also proves that the retira
of the eye acts like a camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays Of light
arrive there after passing through
small opening.

Encouraging to Silver Men.

The vote by which the Teller reso-
lutions passed the Senate shows an
alignment OF parties ON the silver
question that is most encouraging to
the friends OF the white metal. Every
Democrat in the Senate except CAT
ferry Of Louisiana voted for the reso-
lutlons. Murphy Of New York, Gray
OF Delaware, and Smith of New Jer
sey, eastern Democrats who followed
the lead OF Cleveland and Carlisle.
have come back to the fold and march
under the banner Of the National
Democracy. Chandler of New
Hampshire, one of the most radical
Republicans i'll the Senate, broke
away from his party and cast his vote
for the resolutions. The Silver Re-
publ;cans all stood by their guns and
cast their votes on the side of the
people.
1t was developed during the de-
bate OH the Teller resolutions that
they meant the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to
l. The Senators who voted in the af-
firmative placed themselves OH record
for free and unlimited coinage Of silver
by the United States and the pay
ment of the bonds of the government
in coin, either gold or silver, at the
option Of the government.
The resolutions went to the House
Saturday and we're greeted with tre-
mendous applause on the Democratic
side. They were referred to the Ways
and Means Committee presided over
by Mr.. Dingley with the understand
ing that they would be reported back
adversely and voted upon today. 1t
does not require a prophet to predict
what the result of the vote will be as
the power Of the gold men is supreme
in the douse. The defeat Of the res
olutions in the House will only en-
phasiZe the issue before the people.

Cats In Medieval Times.

Down to as late as the middle ages
cats were comparatively scarce in Eu-
rope and were so highly priced that any
person who killed one was obliged to
pay fine. This penalty sometimes was
required to be paid in the shape Of a
pile of wheat big enough to cover the
slain, animal when it was held vertically
by the tip of ats tail, the nose touching
the ground.
