Mountain ot Human Bones Covered
 Over by the American Forces.
 In the Colon cemetery at Havana. where the American seamen who per ished in the Maine catastrophe are buried, in striking contrast to the rev erence displayed by Anglo-Saxon peo- pies for the burial places of their dead, there has been for more than two cen- turies human bone pit. Exposed to the glare of the sun, the mercy of the rains, there have lain for yeas the frames of those who Clce lived and This famous pit was first dug by Don saafo Valdes, in the year 1902, and fs hat day to this has been the re-
 for the skeletons of the Cu-
 lead. It is no feet square and
 sessy feet deep filled to the twenty
 s level. An eight-foot stone wall 44e44oses it from the morhjdly curious, and in external appearance 1t resem- bles an antiquated Spanish fortress or barracks. The old Spanish custom of renting graves, none being able to buy outright, in Colon cemetery, easily ex- plains the necessary existence Of the sspia.a A man dies, is buried in a rented grave, forgotten in short time. the rent unpaid one year-his bones are dug and thrown among his ances- tors in the mass of dead humanity; the grave, being already open, is held to receive the next body. A careful ea- timate, no record having been kept. puts the number of human skeletons in the pit at 100000. When one realizes that the pit is nearly 300 years old, and the average life of man is q little less than thirty years. Havanas popula- ton for the last 100 years being more than 100000, it is cutie plausible that the estimate is most conservative. In some cases the coffin and all have been dumped into the pit" and left to the depredations of the vulture or buzzard. the seavengers of Havana. Skulls with long hair still on are not infrequent sights, and in one case a skull still held fast a switch Midnight ram bles over the heads of these departed have been one Of the pastimes of the nor. bidly inclined in Havana. The Amer fcan government, ever to the fore fn the ways of civilization, has at last filled over the ghastly "bone pitt" and the days of Luncheon on slzal.s'' gre past.

Men Get Shorter on Noun, aims.

A singular result of the recent ex. periments of Prof Angelo Mosso on the physiological effects of high alti- tudes is that a mountain ascent may produce such fattening of the lum- bar curve that man may be an inch and half shorter on the summit of Monte Rosa than when he is in the valley beneath. The height of Monte Rosa, the second loftiest peak of the Alps, is 15,215 feet. The cause of the shortening is partly the exertion of climbing. The human stature always aiminishes slightly during the day.

WONDERFUL oEYsER AT WORK
California spouter That Throws Water
 500 Feet In the Air,


 From the Scientific American: The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on reeord-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes of a community fa- miliar already with instances of what nature can accomplish when it sets out to do something out of the common. SoutherR Californians are so used to shocks of earthquakes, incipient volca- noes, or threatened tidal waves that it takes something extremely eruptive to disturb their ordinary eomposure, but the successful effort of a rural rancher dn his search for water with which to irrigate his fields, parehed with a long drouth, has turned the gaze of the whole state toward the little town of Whittier,a hamlet located in the neigh borhood Of Los Angeles. Some weeks 1 ago 8 farmer named Myers, living at Santa lie Springs, began sinking an ar tesian well. Others in the neighborhood had successfully tapped 8 subterranean ] flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet, and Mr. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills descended until depth of 500 feet was attained. This was on Sun i day, May II. A drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. A ten=ineh pipe had been sunk some dis tanee, and tho usual preparations mada for controlling the flow when 1t did make it's expected appearance. The heavy drill was working with its usual monotonous regularity, when, after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, accompa- nfed by jets of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made ffs appearance, foi- lowed by a grand column of water. which forced itself higher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 500 feet The flow was accompanied by vast quantities Of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quan- titles was mixed with the flow. Tho stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree. No geyser of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity. The column of muddy water was like a great pillar, extending. almost to tbe clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ex- erted was equal to a thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active, though some diminution of the force exerted is be- ginning to be apparent The flow of water is enormous. and, the country being fat, some difficulty is appre- hended in it's control.

HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Ts
 Virtually Unmarked.

The Resting Place Of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.
 From the London Mail: The sugges ton has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected in one of the public places of this city, It is not at all likely that the proposal. however warmly it might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly expressed the masters wishes: T conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial, whatever. I rest my claims to the re- membranee of my country upon my published works and to the remem- brance of my friends upon their ex- perience of me in addition thereto ," To this wish the members of the faIai- ly have always given the strongest adherence and have already diseonn. tenanced and will continue to diseour- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell, a gifted American seulp- tor, completed in marble fnll-leRgtb portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family. who, out Of respect to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance the movement. the offer was declined. In these cir eumstanees it is hardly probable thai any memorial, at least of a public char aeter, will be attempted.

MICE HAVE A STANDING IN LAW

 From the Spokane Review: The land-contest case in which family of mice played 9 prominent part has been decided on the appeal to Binger Hermann, commissioner of the gen eral land oAiee at Washington The rodents ale not mentioned in the d9ci sion, but the nan whom it was claimed allowed the mice to establish resi- denee in his bed is allowed to retain possession Of his homestead, the rul- ing of tie local land office being re- Yersed and the contest dismissed 4 peculiar feature of the case is that when tie family ef mice was first men toned II WAS tended that their presence in the bed of the entryman argued an abandonment of the home- stesd. aud tha local land office appar eatly took the same view of the mat ter Eut when the decision was ap Dealed from 1t was set up that the presence Of the mice vas an argument fa favor of the homesteader. Fred O.. gras5 was the entryman, having taken ID q homestead near Davenport three feafs ago. Last August John ONeil instituted a contest to the homestead sntry, alleging that Grutt had aban- dansd the claim, did not keep up q continuous residence thereon, and that the only inhabitants of the snanty on the ranch were a family of mice After hearing the case the registrar and feeetYer decided that Grutt's en- tTy shonld be eanceled. From this de- cision Grutt had sixty days in which to file an appeal to the commissioner at Washington. The appeal was filed by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt In the appeal the mice family was re. ferred to as follows: If there were any mice in this entrymans bed dur ing the early part of September, 1893, it plainly shows that the entryman did have bed on the land at the time.'

The birds are also sold to menageries, a fine pair being worth from $25o to $500 The hatch ing of the eggs requires 6orty-two days, the hen covering them h the daytime snd the male bird at night. Tie pre- vailing color of the hen is gray, and that of tho male black, so that their choice of the hours for sitting on the eggs corresponds with the time when each is less easily seen.

Gallantry of American Marines.

San Francisco, Sept. 15.-Colonel
Robert l.. Meade, marine corps, who
commanded the American forces at
Tien Tsin and was invalided home,
adds several incidents of heroism to
the story already told of the storming
of the walled city by the allies.
Captain Davis of my regiment was
standing between DIR. Norton and my
self when he was shot," said Colonel
Meade. HE was struck by a Jingall
bullet from 'two-man gun over the
heart, and died almost instantly. A
Jingall bullet is about three inches in
length, but ore and quarter inches in
diameter.
I'm the maneuvers about Tien Tsin,
Naval Cadet Charles II. Courtney, lead
ing twelve men, undertook to capture
an arsenal nine miles from the city.
When they had advanced within two
miles on the north side of the arsenal.
a force of 500 Chinese troops advanced
to meet them, and the little band was
compelled to retreat. Only two of the
twelve men escaped unwounded. In
retiring, William Il. Holyoke, boat
swain's mate, was shot through the
neck and groin, falling to the ground,
and the young naval cadet, who is n
stalwart fellow, took him on his back
and carried him to place of safety on
the river bank. Then. meeting rein
forcements from Commodore Seymour,
Cadet Courtney and the few men able
to fight returned to the attack on the
fort, capturing it at 3 o'clock in the
morning, after fighting all night"
