This Puzzled the Physicians.
The case of Andrew Melony. who
died recently at Cedarvale, puzzled the
physicians in that locality. Five days
previous Melony retired at night ap-
parcntly us well as usual. The next
morning he did not awaken at the
usual hour and all efforts to arouse
him were in vain. Physicians were
called and even they could not awaken
him. He slept continuously without
once being awakened for five days,
when he still without waking entered
upon the sleep of death.

THE LAST OF THE BISON.
Even the Yellowstone Park Herd has
Dwindled Away.


In answer TO correspondent.
writer in Forest and Stream has this to
say regarding the practical eHt"rmlha-
ton of the American bison in its wild
state:
IN 1865, when Billy Hofer and N.Y.
self made the trip through the Yellow
-stone park in the winter with the pu:-
nose of counting the buffalo. it was
s,,nnoseG shat there were 800 good
buffalo left n the Yellowstone park
We could not feel ...the least sure that
there were over 125 after We hao
counted all that we co.. tind or hHar
Of. and then we felt that was 4''t'
likely we had counted the S,i>'le y" !c'l
more than once. Probably th2i%- l1
100 to 125 head in the park at
time. There were at that time III n
Mussclshell country Of Montana abou&
eight or ten head Of buffalo. which
were later killed by the Crees. ther9s
were also then perhaps few animals
of Il somewhat mythical herd III the
Red Desert of Wyoming. never eStt-
mated at over Il dozen head. aud whose
existence for the past ten years his
been more than doubtful. Also tAe
same could be said regarding the Lost
mark herd of Colorado, where fer
time. q half dozen or so buffalo were
known to exist. There may nave
been a half dozen Of them in lS9''
but it is doubtful if ans are alive now.
THE buffalo of the Ieilowstffy
park met their fate the nle'during
by reason of the ,ff23fldered out from
mild winter th88f the park and were

Iho Market Lake precincts. it Is ua-
ifSelshst any are left alive outS.oe
the park. Inside the park, ut last "a
counts. during the past year, there
were only about - or 10 buffalo SUD, SUD,

Plains herd. out of which Buffalo
Jones caught his calves in 1885 70
1889. Up in the Peace river reg.'A
of the British possessions there really
is q herd of wood bison left. for s)
nv friend Norris, who was up thaie
last vear. tells me. and he says the
Indians know where they are. Inc
numbers of these are not known. ana
if would be only guesswork to state
them. as. indeed, it is more or less
cuesswork to state figures as above.
"On the face of all diScoyeIablH ln-
formation on this head, it is sale 70

buffalo outside the Yellowstone park

is. Inside the park. there may ce
twenty head or so.
THE Peace river herd, not IN the
United States. and always more or
less of fable. may number a nun

likely. 1t is more apt to be the case
that there may be only score or 20
of these animals which have h2en

Copperas is rarely found naturally

Otto Kunzte describes the occurrence
of native coppers near Montpelier
Iowa. This is formed by the oxidatlon
of iron pyrites, and is found under an
overhanging cliff, but only at dry
season of the year. as the ease with
which copperas dissolves in water

If load of coal is left out of doors,
exposed to the weather. say a, month,
it loses one-third of its heating quality
If ton of coal is placed on the ground
and left there andanother ton is placed
under shed, the latter loses about %
per cent. of its heating power and the
former about A per cent. Hence IL Is
a great saving of coal to have 1t III q
dry place. covered over andon alLsides.
The softer the coal the more heating
power it loses, because the volatile ana

ALLEGED HIGHWAY MURDER
Was MereIya Scare Caused by the
Explosion of a Torpedo.

Last Friday morning the impression
prevailed here that highway-murder
here had been attempted the night be-
fore. The story went thata stranger
OF medium size and wearing dark
clothes and 4 derby hat had slipped
from behind the telegraph pole on the
eastern corner OF Pike aud Third
streets and deliberately tired a revol-
yer at the bus enroute to the O'Clock
train, the bullet passing through the
bus window There were two passen-
gers in the bus, besides the driver and
collector Of fares. An Investigation of
the incident resulted in the finding OF
a torpedo shell at the placeof the al
legged shooting and it is now believed a
wheel of the bus passed over the tor
pedo, and the explosion was mistaken
as revolvershot.

morning and evening, at which time
there will be grand rally of all the

very necessasy that all Of the members
OF the church should be present, and
ifeach one will "help a little" there
will be no difficulty in the matter.
For the encouragement of the mem
berS we wish 10 state that the whole
amount TO be raised will not exceed
$4,000. With a membership Of $50
this should be very easy matter, but
the ease with which this will be accom-

aud held of every member Of the
Church.
