THEY SET GUARDS.
Many Animals Post sentine1s to
Watch While They Work
and Play.

It is we'll known that many animals
appoint one or more of their number
to act as sentinels to guard against sur
prise while the rest are asleep or feed
ing or at play. Among the animals
using the word in its widest sense-that
are thus prudent may be named the
following: Wasps, ants, chamois and
other antelopes, prairie dogs, wild
horses, rocks, swans, Austrian cocka-
toos, zebras, quails, certain monkeys,
flamingoes, New Zealand silver eyes,
slugs and other birds, marmots, mou-
fon and other sheep, seals, African wild
cattle, huanacoes, elephants, etc.
Perhaps the best known of these are
the prairie dogs, who burrow their
homes in the earth in little villages,
with regular streets and everything.
All around these villages, bolt upright,
sit wise little dogs to keep lookout
while the others sun themselves at the
doors of their burrows or play. Let
strange animal or a man appear and
one Of the little sentries at once barks,
and in another instant there is twink
ling of heels, and not a prairie dog is
to be seen until the danger is past.

HISTORIC WINE CELLAR.
Important Discoveries Made by Two
German Explorers in
Asia Minor.

The explorer, DR.. Belck, who was at
tackled in September last while prose-
cutting his studies in Asia Minor, has
made some interesting discoveries near
Lake Wan. He and DR.. Lehman are
searching for Chaldean inscriptions,
and the cost of their expedition is be-
ing betrayed from fund to which the
principal contributors are the kaiser
and the Virchow institute, says Ber-
lin Dispatch in London Mail.
According to letters dated Tiflis, No
vember &c, the two explorers, in ex-
cavating among the ruins of palace
of the old Cha~lean king Argastes H..
came across this monarch's wine cell
lar. 1t was filled with colossal earth
enware vessels, few of which have
been secured for the Berlin museum.
OF far greater importance, however,
is their discovery of inscriptions on
the drains of the palace, which furnish
complete chronology to the time of
the Assyrian king Tiglat Phalasar
(about the eighth century before
Christi. The Armenian patriarchs have
been very gracious to the two German
explorers, and have even allowed them
the unwonted privilege of taking away
an extremely interesting inscription
from the wall of an old monastery.
DR.. Beick and his colleague intend
now to visit the upper Tigris, Mossul
and Nineveh. and to continue their in
vestigations in what is probably the
home of the earliest civilization, the
district between Mount Ararat and the
upper reaches of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates.

Alas, Poor Burt! We Knew Him Well.

The deadly railway train has claimed
another victim in Burt, Sommercamp's
big white delivery horse, which was
killed yesterday on the track across
the railroad bridge. The whole family
are rather broken up over Burt's vio-
lent ending, as they have had him over
eighteen years and he has rendered
many valuable and important services.
The animal had much to do with the
development Of Silver City, having in
the old days assisted in pulling in much
of the machinery which has made that
camp famous for the production of
precious metals. When the family
moved to Weiser they brought Burt
along as an indispensable member and
he has been familiar object in Weiser
since, being, although well along in
years, spry, full of life and powerful
stopper, and he seemed to delight in
making the delivery wagon whiz.-

King Corn will have triumphal
march through Kansas and Nebraska
this year that even Funston's soldiers
cannot eclipse. The two states will
show up crop of 575,000,000 bushels,
or more than one-fourth the total yield
of the entire country. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 acres in corn
in these two states. This is equivalent
to strip of land one mile wide reach
ing one and half times around the
globe. The crop will be worth about
Sl2OOOOOOO.

attendance and nursing Money will
be raised in Idaho to supply the wants
of our boys, and many of them will have
friends to meet them. But raising a
general fund for such purpose and
placing it in the hands of committee
often engenders discord and dissatis
faction. 1t will be we'll for each county,
in addition to the general committee,
have small fund of its own and a COM
mite to look after the wants of its own
boys. We would suggest to Owyheeites
that there are number of former
Owyhee residents now in San Francisco,
who will take pleasure in looking after
the comfort of our boys, and a fund
might be raised and placed in their
hands for this purpose, or they might
be requested to make such small ex-
penditures as they find may be required,
with guarantee that the money will
be repaid them. John Feour, John
McMahon and a dozen other now resi-
dents of Frisco would heartily respond
to any such requests made of them.
