THE sALAMANDER.
Queer Little Animal That IL Seldom

Queer Little Animal That il Seldom
Seen Above Ground.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
In many places in the extreme southern
states, especially in what are locally known
as the "piney woods one of the most nota-
bic features is the constantly recurring
mounds of yellow sand which everywhere
dot. and 1t must be confessed disfigure, the
monotonous landscape. These piles of earth
are usually nearly circular in form, fairly
symmetrican in contour, from six inches to
two feet in diameter, and. save where they
have been beaten down by rain or winds or
the tramptng of cattle, about half as high
as they are broad. Often these sand heaps
are pretty evenly distributed. sometimes so
thickly as to cover at least one-fourth OF
the soil surface II you ask a native the
cause Of this singular phenomenon, which
YOU will perhaps at first be disposed to con-
slider g. kind of arenaceous eruption which
has somehow broken out on the face Of

reply, "Salamanders.

of a curious little rodent popularity SO named

he finds 1t necessary to make.
After carrying the eXcavated earth to the
surface this curious little miner takes the
greatest pains to cover up his tracks. No
opening into his burrow is left. How he
manages to so carefully smooth over his
little sand mound and then literally pull
the hole in after him. is as yet unex-
planned.

Result of Observations Taken by an
Officer In the Field,

Officer In the Field.
Lieut. l. n. Brewer in the Monthly Weather Review
Every one accepts the Spanish six
months rain. six months dust and six
months anything as the full statement Of
the conditions over here. My observations
from standard instruments and impress
sfons. recorded each day, are about as fol-
lows: Shortly after our arrival. March t.
1899. we had few days of rain followed
by dry weather until we'll along into April
when We began to have thunder showers
which increased in frequency until July,
when days without rain were the excep-
ton. This condition lasted until Novem-
Der. when the dry season came very
rapidly. Since November 23 l have re-
corded less than ten showers, many but
mere sprinkles. This for northern Panga-
stnan. On two occasions We have observed
distant lightning. During March and
April. when we were generally near Ma
Mia. it was quite hot in the sun, but the
nights were always comfortable. though
When there is no wind it is very hot in the
sun. On one march l remember fully 30
per cent of the men fell out from heat ex-
haustion After leaving Manila, April 81,
we rarely suffered from heat, although
during July a temperature of 81 degrees
in the shade was recorded on several oc-
casions. This dry season found us north
of Tarlac, where radiation is SO great at
night that two blankets are very comfort
able. The dew is so heavy that at times
1t drops off the tin roof of the quarters.
The wind blows gale every afternoon and
it is very dry. The dry and wet bulbs show
a difference of IA degrees, but by pm. it
becomes calm and clear. At this season
the wind is from the north, as we have
mountains to the southwest and northwest
of us. Thirty miles north is the Gulf of
Luigayen. an arm of the China sea.
The rain over here is harder than any
have seen in America. Last July we had q
steady downpour for ninety-one hours and
the river near us rose over twelve feet. At
that point it was 200 yards wide, and at
low water twelve feet deep, so you can
imagine something as to the rainfall. Most
of the country is divided up into little
squares by dikes intended to keep the rice
flooded which they do.

Travelling ClOaks.
From Harper's Bazaar.

What to wear when travelling is always
subject worthy of consideration. but in
these days Of luxurious travel 1t is not so
necessary to provide a gown for the es-
pecial purpose. as was the case when dust
and dirt had not been overcome by modern
science. Now women often wear very
smart costumes on trip. although It is
considered better taste to dress quietly, and
the ever-useful travelling cloak is feature
of the travelling outfit. These coats are
made of mohair or silk, are long enough to
extra full boxcoats, or have shirred yokes
and are in circular shape. They are more
useful and are smarter in appearance when
in the former style They should not be
with stitched bands, for they are intended
merely for wear when it is dusty. whether
travelling or driving, and to trim them is to
take away entirely their smart appearance.

Sulphur Will Put Out Fires.

Grant me space i'll your paper to make
more generally known fact which has
been known to me many years. and doubt
less to others. that sulphur thrown into the
fire OF a stove. furnace or fireplace will
instantly extinguish the fire in a chimney

phur. say three or four ounces, were kept
in handy place ana used when needed, as
directed above, 1t might be the means Of
saving property and perhaps life.

An AUGUSTA MAN IN PORTLAND.
Exciting Experiences Of r. W. Carleton While
ia Portland Recently.

Ruel W. Carleton who has just re-
turned from Portland, by his exciting
experiences in saving the life of a
woman and stopping a snatch thief.
proved himself a valuable man to that
city.
He went to Portland to witness the
Old Home week celebration and While
on the street cars saw a woman step
off. A shout from the people nearby
showed to him that a woman who had
just alighted from the car was stand
ing directly in front of passing team.
so near that it seemed as though moth
ing could prevent her being Instantly
killed. With quick presence Of mind
he leaped and caught hold of the
woman's arm. pulling her to place of
safety a moment before a heavy team
going at full tilt passed by.
Later in the day he was on the east
ern promenade. The street was filled
on the exhibition. Hearing some one
shout. "Stop that man." he looked
around. With his head bent low a man
was running through the crowd dodg-
ing, twisting, and turning and doing
his best to escape observation, and
most Of all to escape from being
stopped. He was headed directly at
Mr.. Carleton and no one of the hun
dreds nearby had the presence of mind
to make an effort to stop the much.
wanted man.
Mr. Carleton is not an expert football
player but has studied the game in the
newspapers. Seeing the man coming
he stopped low, and when the man
came near he started and after a long
dive made a low. hard. tackle. The
man was carried off his feet and be-
fore he could recover himself, was
stopped and the officers had him under
arrest. tMA
When the man was searched he was
found to have several articles of value
for which he could not account Mr.
Carleton had excitement enough for
one day and returned 20 this city. :

The New York, Baltimore and Phil

to place the number of tons of ice
shipped from Maine, back to the old
figures. There was slight let up in
the amount ordered, short time ago,
but the heat of the past week Is keep
ing the crews busy At the present
time between 5000 and 1000 tons a day
are being shipped from the State. The
present outlook is that all the houses
will be cleaned out, this summer, al
though it is too early as yet to make
definite statements on the matter.
