nI,aIc In the Sierras.

Travellers in the Sierra forests usu-
ally complain Of their want Of life, es-
pecially of birds. The trees" they
say, "are fine, but the empty stiffness
is deadly; there are no animals to be
seen, no birds. We have not heard
so-g in all the woods" And no won
der, going in large parties with mules
and horses, making so much noise,
dressed in outlandish, unnatural col
ors, every animal shuns them. Even
the frightened pines would run away
if they could. But nature lovers, de-
vout, silent, open-eyed, alert, looking
and listening with love, sitting still
here and there for hours or days, as
their genius directs, find no lack Of
inhabitants in these mountain man
sions, and they come to them gladly.
Not to mention the large animals or
the small insect people every waterfall
has it's ouzel, and every tree its squir-
rel or tamias, or bird-tiny nuthatch
threading the furrows Of the bark,
cheerily whispering to itself as it deft-
ly prizes off loose scales and examines
the curled edges Of lichens, or Clarke
crow, or jay, examining the cones, or
some singer-oriole, tanager, warbler,
resting, feeding, attending to domestic
affairs. Hawks and eagles sail over
head, and grouse walk in happy focks
below, and the song sparrow sings in
every bed Of chaparral. There is no
crowding, to be sure. Unlike the low
Eastern trees, those Of the Sierra in
the main forest belt average nearly
200 feet in height, and of course many
birds are required to make much Of a
show in them, and many voices to fill
them. Nevertheless, the whole range
from foothills to snowy SUBMITS is
shaken into song every summer; and
though low and thin in winter, the
music never ceases.

AN OLD SUPERSTITION
Many Stories Prove That Rats WIN 1ear.

Many Stories Prove That Rats VIII Leave
an Unseawcrthy Vessel.
The old superstition, which has
grown into an adage, that rats desert
ship which is no longer seaworthy,
is still an article OF faith with the
fresh water sailors Of the great lakes.
Sundry well-authelticated instances
seem to justify this belief. The Ver-
tramp business. Built in Buffalo in
1850, she was for many years regard
ed as one Of the best craft on the lakes.
Late in the fall, about fifteen years
ago, she unloaded a cargo Of grain in
Buffalo, and reloaded with package
freight for Chicago. She was about to
sail one rough November night. Just
before the lines were let off. one OF
the seamen saw a rat run over the
hawsers to the wharf. In a moment
another was seen. The seaman called
others Of the crew to see the unusual
sight. Between fifty and seVenty-flVe
rats pOuTeu OuI VI lIiC oLip e]to eoSAA
refuge along the wharf. The crew re-
fused to sail, but the captain was OBJ
stinate, shipped a fresh crew, and sail
ed forthwith. The ship was lost with
all hands. The Idaho, fine passenger
steamer, foundered in Lake Erie in
November, 1897. Out Of her crew OF
twenty-one men nineteen were drown
ed. Just bfore the vessel left her moor
ings a swarm Of rats craWled over the
hawsers to the wharf. This was known
to part of the crew, and four men de-
serted at the last moment. Similar
stories are told Of other wrecked YES
sells, and an old lakeman says: 1T
has been proved hundred times.
There are whole lot Of things in this
world that we don't know anything
about. Rats live In the very fl'rs OF
a ship. They see what we can't see.
When the timbers are followed and
the seams open, these little animals
know that the ship is unsafe, and they
desert it -

PROMPT Mr.. Scott.

A certain Mr.. Scott, of Exeter, Eng,
whose business required him to travel
constantly, was one Of the most IA
nous characters for punctuality in the
kingdom. By his methodical habits,
combined with unwearied industry, he
accumulated large fortune. For a
great many years the landlord Of every
inn in Cornwall and Devon that he
visited knew the exact day and hour
he would arrive. A short time before
he died, at the advanced age Of eighty,
a gentleman who was making a jour-
ney through Cornwall put up at q
small inn at Port Isaac for his dinner.
He looked over the bill Of fare, and
found nothing to his liking. He had,
however, seen a fine duck roasting on
the fire.
''Tll have that" said he.
"You cannot, sir" replied the land
lord, at IS for Mr.. Scott, Of Exeter"
81 know Mr.. Scott very WELL" re-
piled the traveller. He is not in your
house"
Very sorry" said the landlord, "but
six months ago, when he was last here.
he ordered the duck to be ready for
him this day, exactly at 2 o'clock"
And to the amazement Of the travel
er, who chanced to look from the win
dow, the old gentleman was at that
moment entering the inn yard, about
FIVE minutes before the appointed
time

The Value of Cornstalks.

The farmers have reason to regard
with aversion our numerous tarlf-pro-
teoted trusts, but the farmers on the
prairie lands of the West at least will
probably view with favor the ffty-mil-
lion dollar cornstalk trust which is be-
Ing organized, it is stated, to make a
market for the 250, ,O00,0 900 tons of corn
stalks that go to waste every year. The
corostalk is to be developed by the new
trust into commercial commodity, as
cotton seed were few years ago, and
it is believed that ''there are millions
in it." According to the New York
Commercial our farmers have hitherto
been throwing away 5000, 600, 600 a year
in stalks. The yield of stalks aver
ages three tons to the acre, the acreage
averaging S0,000,0OO, and but a frac-
ton Of this is utilized as fodder. Dur
ing the last twenty years our farmers
have destroyed, it is estimated by the
Commercial, $4,000, 100000 worth
of their product value equal to the
sum total of their mortgages plus the
public debt. This sum the new trust
proposes to enable the farmers to put
in their pockets during the next score
of years. Six different commodities
are now being manufactured from corn
stalks-namely, cellulose, worth S4OO a
ton, used by the Government as an au-
tomato hole.stopper for battleships,
excellent cardboard, fine grade Of pa
per, an unequalled foundation for dy-
Mantle, patent cattle food, and su-
perior glue. The value Of the cellulose
lining for warships is we'll known.
When leak develops the cellulose
swells in such manner as to automat-
ically close it. With fifteen tons Of
stalks, worth 800, one ton of such Gel
lulose is made, for which, as already
stated, the Government is now paying
at the rate Of S400 ton. Two facto-
ries-one in Rockfort, ILL.,, and another
in Oaensboro. Ky.-are now making
colnstalk cellulose, together with other
products of less value. AS respects the
cornstalk cattle food, it is stated that
the stalks, when ground to coarse
meal, cooked, sweetened with molasses,
and pressed into cakes, form one of the
most nutritive and valuable foods yet
placed on the market. The absorptive
power of cellulose dust fits it admira
biv for the manufacture of dynamite by
u:Aipg with nitroglycerine, such dust
being s.?Nrior even to gun cotton.
Five factories, says the Commercial,
are to be at once erected, in addition
to those already in operation. The
more the better 1t is the good for
tune of the proposed combine that it
will, if successful, have for its object to
enlarge, or, in fact, create, an industry,
not to stife it.

The NORTH of q Match.

How much may depend on a seeming
triie is shown in the incident on the
lumber schooner, Johanna Swan,
which was abandoned in a gale OF
Hatteras. The cabins were flooded
and the water supply had given out.
In four days the sailors had not tasted
water. To drink the brine Of the sea
was to induce tortures and endure 8
more deadly thirst than ever. There
was a tank holding three gallons that
could be fashioned into a condenser
and the mate and a sailor so convert
ed it. A piece Of the schooner's rail,
dry and full Of resin, was chopped on
for fuel, and now all that was neces-
sary was match. A search revealed
Just one match, that the captain had
slowed in a dry pocket. If that went
out, woe be to them. But after sput-
tering for moment, it blazed up, the
shavings caught, the fire was set, the
water boiled and the drip from the
steam was enough to provide a drink
for every man-pretty smoky water,
but as welcome as cocktails, under the
circumstances. A German bark heard
their bell and took off the crew before
its perils and sufferings became more
serious. A condensing apparatus OF
simple sort would not be bad thing
to take on all craft, considering the
possibilities Of i'll fortune that follow
the toilers Of the sea.

Killed by a Wall.

\ dispatch to The State from Pied
mont, S. c., says: &c. ". Shelton
was killed here this morning. Joseph
Austin and ". B. Bryant were proha-
bly, fatally injured. r. ~ Potter had
his leg broken. Robt. Freeman had
his shoulder dislocated and arm broken.
Galway Smith, n. P. Fleming and
Jack West were painfully injured.
They were all at work on a warehouse
being built for the Piedmont Mauufac-
turing company when at about II
o'clock the centre brick wall, which
was fully 30 feet high, suddenly caved
in, burying Shelton, VIII was instantly
killed, and inficting injuries on the
the Others as above stated. All that
medical skill can do is being done for
the injured. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that G. ". Shelton came
to his death by the accidental falling
of the fire wall"

Ears Beat Eyes.

Most people would no doubt be in
clined to fancy that the eye was the
gateway of quite the most delicate Of
ell our senses. But this is not so. The
sense of hearing has been proved to be
far the most delicate Of all the senses.
And the sense of touch appears to be
perhaps the keenest Of all. The tests
are very simple.
For testing sight disc half black,
half white is revolved quickly before
the eyes. When it reaches a speed OF
twenty-four revolutions a second the
colors cease to appear distinctly any
longer to the eye, and the result is
gray. For sound a revolving toothed
wheel makes a series Of clicks, and
these to the average man appear dis
tinct sounds up to sixty a second. At
ter that they cannot be distinguished
apart. The sense Of touch is tried by
rapid blows of a tiny electric hammer
on the skin. Up to 1000 a second
these blows have been felt separate
and distinct.
