A Mountain of NIangp ncse.

The uncoverlng Of solid mountain
of native ferro-nickel manganese at
Durango iron mountain. Mexico, has
created great excitement throughout
the republic. Tradition has II that this
enormous mass of native metal is an
aerolltc that fell from the sky centuries
ago. 1t Is more than 800 feet high. half
mile wide and more than a mile in
length. and is estimated to contain
more than 50o,000.0O0 tons above
ground. 1t is worth SiS5 a ton. A roll
ing mill with two large blast furnaces
is now nearly completed to work on
this mass of native metal, and already
five ears OF fcrro-nlckcl manganese are
being shipped daily from Durango TO
the United States and Europe.

-FOUR MONTHS UNDER GROUND
Long soiourn of " Kitten In Montana
Mining SHAFT.

Long soiourn OF " Kitten In Montana
Minin. Shaft.
Little Annie McGlnn OF West Butte
owns kitten that has just emerged
from one of the strangest adventures
that ever befell any little girls feline
pet, says the Anaconda Standard. This
cat in particular, after wandering
through the mine workings under
Butte since last fall, reappeared on the
surface two miles from the place where
she tumbled down shaft. Pussy spent
fully four months wandering through
underground Butte, but has survived
in good shape. The cat, becoming
frightened at something, jumped down
shaft near the big poulin hoist. She
survived and opened up bowling con-
test by herself. Little Annie was heart
broken. Her brother secured n long
rope and lowered 1t into the shaft hop
ing that the kitten would catch on"
and be hoisted but the cat only howled
louder. Annie used to carry bits of
meat and bread over to the howl and
throw them down for the cat to eat.
After couple of weeks the moaning
in the shaft ceased Annie gave up
her pet as lost forever. and Christmas
at Annie's home was not as cheerful
for the owner of the lost kitten as 1t
might have been had kittie not been
SO venturesome. Early in the winter
the miners in the Green Mountain. the
Mountain Con and other shafts in the
vicinity imagined they heard sounds
similar to those made by Il sick in
rant, Later the same noises were
heard In the Anaconda Mountain View.

Meaderville slope. While some chill
dren were playing near the dump OF
the Colusa mine they were startled
upon beholding cat tumbling down n
pile OF rock with II carload of waste
that had just been dumped. The cat
meowed pitoously as 1t rolled over Just
IN time TO escape big chunk that
came bounding past The children ran
to the rescue and found Il sorry look
ing species of the cat family. Its hair
was matted and solled. its eyes !ed
and II was sore ana lame. The only
mark of Identification was the little
ribbon about its neck. to which was
attached small brass bell. The fe-

MISS HARRApEN's NEW NOVEL

Beatrice Harraden's latest novel has
been one OF the greatest literary sue
cesses of the season In England, and In
this country 1t has had large sale.
Miss Harradan rather discounted her
early success In Ships That Pass In the
Night by writing several stories which
treated in commonplace way are ex-
tfemely disagreeable people. II was a
surprise therefore when her new novel
appeared recently to find that she had
made such great strides in literary
skill and had acquired so much com
mand OF her exceptional resources In
satirical humor. Upon her heroine
she has certainly layished great pains.

PREPARING FoR A NEW PLAY.
Complete Model In Miniature of tho
Scenery Made Before the Production.

Complete Model In Miniature of tho
scenery Made Before the Production.
The preparation for new play. as
far as the scenery is concerned, is
most interesting. A complete model
In miniature is made, about the size
of one of the German toy theaters seen
In the shops. The picture Is carefully
painted, the rocks II there be any, and
the foliage are cut out, and all the de-
tails are followed with no less thought
than when the real affair Is attacked.
The work is done in water colors, and
mounted on pasteboard, and II the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains In miniature, flights of steps
ana the hangings. all seriously worked
out. 1t Is something that would de-
light the heart of boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
Is produced, and are then put away on
shelves, alas, only to warp and be-
come covered with dust. But the mas
ter painters work does not end here
by any means. for there are lights to
pS arranged, since they play an impor-
tant part in the performance, and they
must be regulated by the scheme of
color; so there are long conferences
with electricians and many discussions
with the makers of glass shades where
by the exact tints may be obtained.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres of canvas are
spread on the paint frames and the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are fill
ed with paints which are mixed with
water and size, and enormous brush
es put the pigment on the canvas. 1t
is wonderful to watch the artist. who
dashes on the paint with no apparent
care and who has to work fast to COW
er the surface before the color dries.
which 1t does very qulckly.-New York

ELECTRICAL BARBER SHOPS.
Great Advances Made by Paris "Tonsorial
Artists"

AttisLns
The French are following up their
active crusade against the infection
carrying practices Of the ordinary bar
ber's shop by the equipment of shay
ing and hair-cutting saloons with n
complete set of electrical appliances.
In Paris the brush and comb and the
shaving brush are disinfected or dip
ped into an antiseptic solution every
time they are used, and for each Gus
toner they are practically clean. This
enactment has greatly reduced the
amount of skin diseases-some of them
loathsome and dangerous-which were
formerly caught in the BARRIERS chair.
The Parisians, having improved the
hygiene of their BARRIERS shops, are
now increasing their comfort by run
ming them electrically. In a shop re.
Gently fitted out hot water is obtained
by passing the stream of hydrant
through a German silver tube in a
soapstone case. The tubing is electric
ally heated, so that the water is nearly
boiling when 1t passes out of the spig-
OF. The old heating irons, which often
burned the hair, are no longer used for
curling The electric curling irons,
which have taken their place, are safe
and sure, as they can be brought to
any temperature, which they Will re-
tain indefinitely. Scissors are out OF
date, and the cutting of hair is now
done by clipping machines, the speed
or which can be regulated to IA nicely
by the operator. Where it is desired
to singe the hair the clipping machine
gives place to the electrically heated
platinum wire, which passes across the
teeth of metallic comb. The comb
takes up certain quantity of the hair
holding 1t for an instant; the barber's
man presses n tiny button at the end
of the comb, and there is an influx of
current which heats the wire. As the
wire approaches red heat the hair is
burned Off neatly and smoothly and Its
ends are sealed up in most approved
fashion.
