QUEER COMPANIONS.
Fire COmpels Wild Beasts and Cattle
to Herd Together.


From the San Diego Union.
An incident of the forest fires in the hills
of the Descanso neighborhood in southern
California illustrates the comradeship that
common peril brings about among beasts
as well as among men. After the flames
had completed their work of destruction
and spread a pail over the hills. rancher
went forth among the charred stumps and
smoking brush heaps to look for number
of cattle and colts. which he feared had
been hemmed in by the fire. He went
across gully and ridge in his search. until
at last he saw his stock some little dis
tance ahead. He was more than astonished
upon coming Up to the group to find not
Only his cattle and colts, but deer. three
wildcats, a coyote and several rabbits all
alive, and apparently in no fear of him.
They watched his approach with indiffer-
elce. the ttmidity gone from the big-eyed
deer, no venom in the wildcats purr and
honesty shining in the gray coyotes face
The rabbits sat on their launches as meek
as the pets of children. But the poor coy
ote was in pain, and as the farmer came
close the erstwhile robber of the roost
dragged his helpless hindquarters toward
the man in mute suppication. The legs of
the animal had beer frightfully burned
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends of such strange creatures and at
orce drove his stock through the smould-
ering brush, the deer going along with the
cattle, the rabbits hopping along at the
rancher's heels. the wildcats slouching
along behind, and the coyote, unable to fol-
low, whining pathetic appeal for suceor
When the burning field was passed the deer
broke into run for the distant hills, the
rabbits were away like a flash, and the old
defiance and snarling leer came back to the
wildcats. who scorned to make a show of
haste. They walked slowly out of sight.

SNOW RESTORED LIFE.
n victim OF Pneumonia Practically
Raised From the Dead.

- ASshha VI pneumonia Practically
Raised From the Dead.
From the New York Herald.
DR.. John. B. Boucher told the Hartford
Medical Society Monday night how he had
raised a man from the dead by burying him
in snow
The patient was Charles F. Robertson of
NO. - buckingham street, Hartford. Conn.
who had been Ill for weeks from pneu-
monia. When he was beginning to recover
his second lung became affected and the
relapse appeared to have fatal ending
last Friday morning. Apparently he had
passed through all the last stages of the
disease.
was 10Y, his pulse had begun to weaken his
breath came in short gasps and every evil
dence of the end was at hand. At O'Clock
the last test to show life, that of the reflex
action of the eyeball, had failed, and the
nurse informed the doctor that the man
was practically dead. The family took the
fact for granted and preparations were
started to quickly remove the lifeless body.
To the doctor there was one desperate
hope left. Placing a rubber blanket under
the man he caused snow to be brought in
and made into bed, on which he laid the
patient, stripped naked. Not a quiyer of
an eyelid not a single gasp, came as he
was laid in the frigid mass. More snow
was brought. Ii covered his arms his legs
and his body. Everywhere the mass was
placed tightly around him. The order was
keep him there till his temperature goes
down to 101.'
For forty-five minutes the man lay in the
snow with no signs of returning life. In
fact, every one believed him dead At the
end of that time the doctor had the snow
taken away and again tried the reflex ac-
ton test. AS he put his finger on the eye
the lid quivered, and a minute later the
first fiickering pulse sent thrill through
those who were anxiously waiting.
Then came another surprise. The doctor,
man of experience, suddenly struck the
insensible man a blow on the face. The
eyes opened.
who am II" asked the physician.
Hello, doctor" said the patient.
Mr.. Robertson is stiil very i'll, but the
crisis is past and he is on the road to re-
covery.

The monster structure that has recently
been erected on the peak of the highest of

stands on the Josephshaehe mountain, ard
commands magnificent yiew
The mountain itself is 1.731 feet above the
