CLOUDCROFT.

Cloudcrort is in the newly or
ganized county or 0terO, n. NJ,
one hundred miles north of I'll
Paso, Texas, on the summit OF the
Sacramento mountains. II Is at
the terminus of the Alamogordo III
Sacramento railroad. Having an|
altitude of 5000 feet above sea-leyel.
it commands a magnificent view OF
the surrounding country. On the
north, White mountain is covered
with snow the greater part of the
year, rearing his hoary head 1900
feet high; on the west the white
sands of the Tularosa valley, which
constitute the most wonderful for
nation in New Mexico and pre-
senting an appearance not unlike
white pillows rolling in from the
sea: and on the south and east
boundless forests Of spruce and ping
swaying on the hills and in the
valley below, all taken together
form a scenery unsurpassed for its
magnifcence.
The climate Of the Sacramentos
is simply superb. II Is not excell-
ed by that Of any other region.
The atmosphere is cool and invig-
Grating and absolutely free from
impurities.
As evidence Of the excellence Of
the climate Of this region Of New
Mexico, it is only necessary TO state
that the United States government,
after careful investigation Of all the
country in It's vast domain best
adapted for a marine sanitarium,
selected Fort Stanton.

How to Make a R'ernery.

An unsIghtly or dark corner Of a back yard or garden may, without much difficulty, be converted into quite an attractive spot by the construction of fernery. This can be done by re- moving the flags, if any, rearing them on edge as kind of border line, filling in behind with good garden soil, if leaf mold and sandy peat are not ob- tainable for mixing it. See that there is plenty of drainage by placing thick layer of broker stones or bricks at the bottom, then add the soil in the shape of a gently sloping bank, stud ding it with rough stones (the rougher the better) from sandstone quarry. In gathering wild ferns do not attempt to bring home large specimens. Be content with small plants with plenty of root. They will make fair show in themselves if properly attended to-
 Paper Made from Peat.
 An Austrian invention of recent oc- currenee is the conversion of bog peat into paper carpet and even food for pigs. The inventor. Karl Zsehoerner, has paid attention to peat for years, and after prolonged experiments has produced not only variety of grades of paper, but textures. which for cheapness can scarcely be equaled by any modern products. A handful of dried peat looks like remnants of to- baceo clippings and would hardly im- press an observer as being of conner cial consequence, but after being put through the inventors process the mass becomes fibrous and can be treated like any other textile material. A large plant is being operated in Aus tria for manufacturing from peat. Samples of these products present the appearance of cloths and carpets of the highest quality.

Hneendiary Microbes.

Under the above title a w-iter, La Nature, of Paris, contributes an inter- esting article on spontaneous combus- tion, showing that when stored hay. bales of cotton, tobacco, etc, take fire, the action is in the first place due to bacteria. In wet seasons such fires are most common and are due to storing the hay etc. in damp state; fermen- tation follows, with great rise of tenn perature-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is changed to a dry, porous and carbonaceous condition, and it presently takes fire. It will consgme slowly until accident brings the external air to its help. when the incandescent mass bursts into fame and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making.

Scotland's Fish Law.

A Royal sturgeon has been caught in the Ouse, near Goblet, Scotland. Its capture has raised an interesting ques- ton. As the law now stands all large fish-such as whales sturgeon and for merly porpoises=if captured within the three miles limit Of the coast are royal fish and are claimed by the eoastguard or the customs on behalf of the crown. In the event of the sturgeon being particularly fine specimen, it is forwarded to the queen. The law in Scotland in regard to whales is the same as in England, and in contested case in the Scottish courts the law was laid down by Lord Erskine that whales when large be- long to the sovereign, when small ta the captor."

 The Stature of Rulers.

In point Of stature the rulers of to- day compare very favorably with theie predecessors. Christian l., King Of Denmark, was feet high. The pres ent Danish king, Christian K, barely reaches feet II inches, and his son, King George of Greece, is 1 inches shorter. The same physical decline seems to mark the ezars of Russia. Peter the Great was a giant of feet 10 inches. The czar of today barely reaches , feet inches The late Ger man emperor, William l., was feet high, and his brother, Princes Charles. was but an inch shorter. The present kaiser cannot stretch himself beyond. feet inches. The king of the Bel gians, with feet incbes Of stature. is the tallest of living monarchs; and Queen Victoria, with feet 10 inches, inches less even than the present Chi- nese emperor, is the shortest, as sue is the best.

The Worlds Tobacco Product

Although tobacco first became known to the civilized world through the dis coyery of America, where the natives cultivated and smoked it,yet about two- thirds of the worlds yearly product of tobacco is now produced in the east ern hemisphere. The total product is estimated at 1,9oo,0G0,oo0 pounds, of which America produces 650,oo0,o 900. Cuba, whose tobacco is reckoned the finest of all, produces only 62,000,000 pounds, being far exceeded in respect to quantity by the state of Kentucky, whose product is put at ,O00 pounds.

For Brutal and Heartless Murder.

hange1 this morning for the murder of
the formers husband. The drop fell
at 8:O4.
The story of the dreadful crime was

The government refused to interfere.
Mrs. PORTER, otherwise known as
Vieu, met her fate bravely but her
partner in crime, Parslow, died like q
coward, and almost had to be carried
to the scsffold.
The woman walked up the ten steps
of the scaffold stairs with her body
erect and her head thrown back, and
with firm step, unabashed by the
coarse jests of the French Canadian
farmers who looked on. She had no
woman attendant. She has never wept

INTENSE
EXCITEMENT
Continues at the Bon Air
Mine Where Two Men Are
Imprisoned.
WASSENTTOT THEM
And 1t is Expected That They
Can Subsist For Five or
Six Days Until
Rescued.

LEADvILLE. Colo, March 1O.-In-
Air mine, where the two miners,
Charles Eeuss and Bert Frey, are i'm
prisoned at depth of $40 feet unde er q
cave-in.
The men are still alive and the
chances are even that they will be
rescued alive.
A dramatic and extremely desperate
experiment was tried this morning
when q large charge of dynamite was
lowered in the len inch water pipe to
the 43O foot level, where it was explod-
ed. This was done.to burst the pipe
and afford means to communicate with
the men. It wss fortunate that the
imprisoned miners had sscended to the
$40 foot level, or the experiment would
have resulted in their death.
Five minutes after the pipe had
been explode d the imprisoned miners
were talking through an improvised
speaking tube to their rescuers on the
surface. The miners said they felt we'll
but were sOrely in need of food.
Food sufficient to last three days
and hot coffee were lowered through
the pipe. The work OF rescue is being
pushed night and day by relays and if
nothing unforeseen occurs Reuss and
Frey will be reached within five days.
The men were forced to abandon the
43O foot level on account of rising
water.
