1t is estimated that 10000 Americans
went to Europe this summer. ........ .
Within the last 90 years 5000 houses
in Dublin have been closed for sanitary
reasons.
+ The maximum number of visitors to
the Royal Gardens at Kew, England, on
any one day last year was 1851, on
May 30. The smallest, 81, on November

The 130-year-old vine at Hampton
Court, England, is reported to be as
vigorous as ever, although it is not now
allowed to produce as many grapes as
in it's prime.
The finest-looking people of Europe
are said to be the Tzigares, or gypsies,
of Hungary. Physically they are splen-
did specimens of men and women and
are rarely i'll. So pure is their blood
that their wounds quickly heal without
the application Of indictments.
1t has been found that the pain caused
by the sting of nettles is due partly to
formic acid and partly to a chemical re-
sembilng snake poison. Our nettles are
comparatively harmless, but in India,
Java and elsewhere, there are varieties
the painful effects of which last weeks.
and in some cases months, like snake
bites.
The famous clock in the Palais de
Justice in Paris dates from 1870, and is
the work of the celebrated De Wick,
whose turret clocks are the earliest on
reliable record. The carved figures of
Piety and Justice and the angels sup
porting the royal coat of arms were
executed by Gcrmaine Pilon. 1T is be-
lieved that it was the bell of this clock
that rang the signal for the massacre Of
st. Bartholomew in 1872.
Mastication does not separate fresh
bread, but condenses it into a soft.
doughty, glutinous mass, very difficult
Tor the saliva to affect. In weak stom-
achs, the saliva-coated ball, like any
foreign body, irritates the stomach and
brings on indigestion. If the person is
strong and has plenty of outdoor exer-
else, the new bread is finally digested,
but the effort of digestion is greater
than it should be, and is liable to over
come the strength and produce more or
less of trouble. Stale bread is more
"crumbly" and does not stay together
so nrmly in sticky mass

Comstock skirmIshers.

Saturday night the officers were
called upon to arrest a member Of
Company A Of Virginia for breaking
windows and hitting a man in tho
head with a rock. After consider
able search the man was found in q
saloon ON Commercial Row and taken
into custody. The man consented to
go with the officers without making
any trouble, but on reaching the Me-
vada Bank Building the officers and
prisoner mat squad from Company
A detailed to arrest the man and the y
demanded that the officers turn the
prisoner over to them. The demand
was refused and general "mix up"
followed during which the prisoner
escaped. Corporal Lochin grabbed
Officer Leeper and was promptly
knocked down. Two others caught
hold Of Constable w. d. McNeilly
and held him while the prisoner ran
away. After the skirmish the officers
made thorough search for the ee-
capped prisoner, but he could not be
found. Later Corporal Lochin was
placed under arrest and charged
with interfering with the duties of an
officer. Ityet remains to be seen
what will be done with the case. Cor.
poral LochGn was permitted to re-
turn to his home in Virginia, he
agreeing to come to Reno to stand
trial when wanted. The officers say
they will enforce the law and pre-
serve the peace soldier or no soldier
The above are the facts Of the case
as near as we can ascertain, and we
have no reason to doubt their truth

LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go es
 Waste.

Waste.
 A singular and but little known in- dustry is carried on in this city in the sale of oyster and clam shells, says the New York Tribune The q lers In this commodity pursue their calling in so unostentatious a way that it attracts no attention. From the eat ing houses where oysters and clans are consumed the year round the shells are collected by persons who either carry on that business for then lives or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. IL seems incredible how large an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the congiomeration of shell and foreign matter that is un- ayoidably collected with it, and appar- ently amalgamates without destroying the characteristics of the harder ma terial. Seeing a number of carts loaded with shells moving toward the same point would induce the supposi- tion that more reclaimed land was being filled in with material that would exclude the possibility of such land ever being used as a market garden; or it might be taken for granted that another dump heap was allowed Ill some of the still unoccupied upper west side lots. But if curiosity should lead to investigation it would be found that the carts were bound for a big yard at Fifty-fourth street and the North river, where they deposited their loads. Every autumn the yard is so filled up that a considerable hill of shells is formed. This being exeavated from the bottom as loads are again carried away leaves the mass with the appear ance of having been geologically formed, and offers a curious sight to the uninitiated. How the shells are used is one of the most astonishing things to those ignorant of the value of the material for anything except filling in streets and making beach drives, such as that one famous in the history of Savannah. But this shell suffers a curious change. It is sold to the gas-works and is used as a puriher'

NATURAL TRAP.
Death Gulch Captures or Asphyxiatep
 Many Wild Animals.

Many Wild Animals.
 Death guIch is a small and gloomy ravine in the northeast corner of the Yellowstone national park, says Ap- pleton's Monthly In this recon the laVas which fill the ancient basin of the park rest upon the Hanks of noun tains formed of fragmentary volcanic ejecta, . while the hydrotherma1 forces of the central portion of the park show but feeble manifestation of their energy in the almost extinct hot spring areas of Soda Butte, Lamar river, Cache creek and Miller creek. :" Although hot water no longer flows from these vents. gaseous emanations are now given off in considerable vol ume." On Cache creek, about two miles above it's confluence with Lamar river, are deposits of altered and erys- ta1line traVertine, with pools in the creek violently efferyescing locally. This is due to the copious emission of gas. Above these deposits the creek cuts into a bank of sulphur and gravel cemented by this material, and few yards beyond is the debeuehure of a small lateral gully coming down from the mountain side. In it's bei m is a small stream of clear and cold water, sour with sulphuric acid, and flowing down a narrow and steep channel cut in beds of dark gray volcanic tGff. As- eending this guleh the sides, closing together, become very steep slopes of white, decomposing rock. :. The only springs now flowing are small oozes Of water issuing from the base of these slopes or from the channel bed, forming thick, creamy, white deposit about the vents and covering the stream bed. This deposit consists largely of sulphate of arumina. About 150 feet above the main stream these eozing springs of acid water cease, but the channel of the gulch remains the same. The odor of sul- phur now becomes stronger, though producing no other effect than slight irritation of the lungs Climbing through this trough, frightfully weird and dismal place, and occupied by only a tiny streamlet and an ap- palling odof, we at length discovered some brown furry masses lying scat tered about the floor of the ravine about quarter of a mile from the point where we left Cache creek. Ap- preaching cautiously, it became quick ly evident that We had before us 8 large group of huge, reeumbent bears. The one nearest to us was lying with his nose between his paws, facing Us, and so exactly like huge dog asleep that it did not seem possible that it was the sleep of death. To make sure, I threw a pebble at the animal. strik- ing him on the flank. The distended skin resounded like drum head, and the only response was beleh of poi senous gas that almost overwhelmed us. Closer examination showed that the animal was young silver tip grizzly (Ursus horribilis). 4 few drops of dark red blood stained his nostrils and the ground beneath. There proved to be five other zcarcasses, all bears, in various stages of decay; careful search revealed oval areas of hair and bones that represented two other bears, mak- ing a total of eight carcasses in all.

Rebe Of Geld.
New York Times: st. Peters Ro-
man Catholic church was crowded on
Sunday evening with members Of the
Syrian colony and Americans WHO had
been invited to witness the wedding
of Miss Shafika Lutfy to Elias Mack
soud, both of whom were born in the
Christian city Of Zahle, Syria. which
was the scene of a great fight during
the Christian massacres in the eos.
Nearly all the members Of the Lutfy
and Macksoud families are now in the
United States, preferring to live under
the stars and stripes to remaining un-
der the banner and crescent The
bride is the daughter of Abdow Lutfy,
the senior partner of the firm Of Lutfy
& Macksoud. importers of oriental
goods, and the bridegroom is the jun
ior partner. They both belong to the
Greek Catholic church. While the
guests waited in the church the bride
was being arrayed for the wedding
ceremony at her fathers house, at Z
Battery place. She was dressed in q
white satin gown and wore a long
white veil, with a pearl necklace and
diamond pendant. The Rev. Father
Beshwaty. the priest of the Greek
catholic congregation, performed the
ceremony. He wore a crown on his
head and long robe Of gold cloth that
reached to the ankles. As the bride
and her father walked up the aisle
they were preceded by little flower
girls and followed by the bridesmaids
and ushers. all carrying lighted can
dies. At the chancel the bridegroom
atepuei forward, and the father handed
his daughter over to him. The BRIDE
groom led the bride to the front Of the
altar. and the priest began chanting
the marriage service in Arabic. He
asked them II they were willingly en-
tering into the marriage state. and
when they both answered in the at
drmative two of the ushers held golden
crowns over their heads, while the
priest took two gold rings from a sill
yer tray held by an attendant and
placed them on the fourth fingers Of
the left hands of the couple. The GER
emory over, many Of the guests &C
companied the newly married couple
to their home, where feast had been
prepared. Mr.. and Mrs. Mackscud went
to Washington on bridal trip.
