THERE is much interest manifested
all over the state in bromus inermis
(Austrian bronze grass), and in most
cases it has proved success. AS it
stands dry weather we'll, it ought to
have trial in all parts of North Da-
kota. Even with the tests that have
already been made, it is claimed by
many that it is the timothy of the New
Northwest. AS the time is not far
away when the free-hay area will be
greatly lessened, anything in the way
of information as to the best tame hay
or fodder crop will soon prove Of much
interest in these parts. If any settler
in Enmons county has experimental
with Austrian bronze grass, will he
please give the Record his experience:

A Mountain Mirror.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A few months ago some Catholic mission
aries made journey in katanga, a large
district which contains many of the upper
waters of the Congo One day they ap-
preached a mountain which. they later
learned, was extremely rich in iron ore. In
fact, the travellers say the mountain is lit
tie else than a huge block of iron from sum-
NIT to base. The natives call the mountain
Ka.bwe-Marwi
The missionaries spent several days in the
neighborhood, and each evening. they say.
the mountain was illumined in wonderful
manner under the influence of the rays OF
the setting sun. The upper part of 1t
seemed to be an immense reflector launch
Ing far out into the plain the beams of light
received from the Star of Day.
One evening, after a day Of rain that had
washed all the dust from the mountain side,
the brilliancy of the reflection was greater
than usual, and Father Ter Maat decided to
seek the exact cause of this phenomenon.
So at sunrise next morning he began the
difficult task of scaling the steep slope OF
this mountain of iron. He finally reached
the highest peak, 6.SSS feet above the sea
level, and there he found a great rock
whose side turned toward the western sun,
was as polished and bright as a mirror and
shone like FURNISHED steel. 1t seemed to be
a block of almost pure metal. This shining
surface contains several hundred square
feet and fully explains the remarkable re-
fraction of the solar rays. The only expa-
nation of the increased brillancy on that
particular day is that the rain washed
away all particles that bedimmed the pol
ished surface and left it fine natural mir
ror where the falling beams of light were
launched again far out over the plain with
dazzling effect.

wild Animals on the battlefield.

From Truth.
The veldt abounds with animals and
birds. and 1t is q strange thing that we
see them in the greatest number during a
battle. At such a time Si.c ant-bears and
the myriad meer-cats, which are a sort of
squirrel, hide in their holes in the ground,
but the several varieties of small deer, the
cartridges. pheasants and huge bustards
find themselves driven into the open center
of each battlefield between the opposing
armies. I do not think we have fought q
battle under Methuen during which 1 have
not seen droves of steinbok "a deer the size
of a half-grown kidd rushing wildly at and

Brewery Team Terrified Crowd There
 Yesterday Afternoon.
 About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon pedestrians crossing Chapel street at the corner of State were terrified to see a heavy brewery team with loaded wagon attached come tearing down Chapel street People on the crossings scattered in all directions, and in twnkling the street was cleared just as the team dashed by. Patroman P. F. Cannon and Car Starter David Quinn of the Fair Haven and Westville road were on the corner both men grab bed the horse by the bits, one on either side. The heavily loaded wagon had gained great momentum and the two men were dragged along to the railroad bridge, each one, however, retaining his hold tenaciously. On the bridge the team was stopped, and was then turn ed into Union street, where it came to a standstill.
 The team started to run on Chapel street, just below Orange, while the driver was delivering some beer. The team is owned by Philip Fresenius' Sons, the brewers. It is a wonder that no one was injured, as the street at the corner was crowded with people when the runaway team was sighted.

Of the Property of the Late Miss Caro- line Smith.
 The fortune left by the late Miss Car oline Smith of this city daughter of the late Sherman Smith, who forty years ago and more was leading dry goods merchant here, in partnership with the late John s. Graves, was much larger than the figures mentioned yesterday in the report concerning the disposition of her property, and the bulk of her prop erty was divided among four people, the maid, Miss Pfeister, receiving more than the other three. The four benefi- charles are Mrs. Dr. Lewis of this city, cousin of Miss Smith and the daugh- ter of John $. Graves; Mrs. Clarence Holt of this city. niece of Miss Smith and daughter of the late Frank 5. Smith; Miss Minnie Pfeister, maid to Miss Smith, and a lady in Milwau kee who will be remembered here as Miss Sarah Barnes, adopted daughter of Miss Smiths sister. Gifts were made to cousins, daughters of the late John s. Graves, and to charitable ob- jectS.
