BARN BURNED BY ...... &
AN INcENDIARY
Before Setting Fire to the Building
He Considerably Turned All
the Horses Ont

SANTA CRUZ, Nov. ia fire occurred
near Sequel yesterday. the origin OF
which was incendiary. A Pincovich's
barn was burned TO the ground and his
packing house had a narrow escape from
destruction. AS II was, about 300 boxes
OF apples and part OF the building were
destroyed. =
The incendiary had turned the horses
out and then with great care had ar
ranged two candles in box over which
he placed some cloths saturated with coal
oil. The cloths were connected with a
large jar of kerosene. The candles isnited
the cloths, which in turn exploded the
jar, scattering the coal oil in every d.
rection and causing fire which gave the
fire brigade much trouble before IL was
finally got under control. The incendary
is not known. The loss will probably
reach $1,000, partially insured.

that the factionalism in the Republi-

A RACE OF DwARFs
Peculiar People That Live a the
Casters lind Of the PyreAees
Mountains.

Prof. Miguel Marazta has made what
seems a curious nnthropological discov-
cry in the valley Of Rebas (Gerona), at
the end of the eastern Pyrenees. There
exists in this district a somewhat nu-
merous group Of people, who are called
Nanos (dwarfs) by the other inhab-
itants, and, as q matter CT fact, are not
more than four feet in height. Their
bodies are fairly well built. hands and
feet small, shoulders and hips broad,
making them appear more robust than
they really are. Their features are so
peculiar that there is no mistalling
them among others. All have red hair;
the face is as broad as long, with high
cheek bones, strongly developed jaws
and fiat nose. The eyes are not horizon;
tai, but somewhat obliquc, like those Of
Tartars and Chinese. A few struggling
weak hairs are found in place of beard.
The skin is pale and habby. Men and
women are so much alike that the sex
can only be told from the clothing.
Though the mouth is large. the lips do
not quite cover the large. projecting
incisors. The Nanos, who are the butt
of the other Inhabitants. live entirely
by themselves in Rebas. They inter
marry only among themselves, so that
their pceuliarities continue to be re.
produced. Entirely without education,
and without any chance Of improving
their condition. they lead the life OF
pariahs. They know their own names,
but rarely remember those Of their par.
ents. can hardly tell whore they live
and have no idea Of numbers.-lir.
