ANDREE'S WILL OPENED.
The Explorer Had . Presentiment That Hb Journey Would
 Prove Fatal.

The Berlin correspondent of the London Standard says that Andree before starting on his balloon voyage for the north pole enjoineo that hi. will should not be opened until the end of 1900. It was inclosed in @ packet which was opened a few days ago ,n the presence of relatives. Some of the documents in the packet were sealed and inscribed ITO be burnt un. read" In addition to these there wa. a series of letters from scientists en. couraging the expedition. and one from his friend Fourville warning him against the proposed trip. This was indorsed: Possibly he is right; but it is now too late to withdraw"
 The will is very short. The opening paragraph includes the following: "My presentiment tells me that this terrible journey will signify my death." The testator's small fortune of few thousand marks is divided be. tween his brother and sister. He be. queaths his large library of scientific works to his brother on condition that he in turn bequeath it to public Ii. brary.

REPTILE FASTS AND DIES.
ousss Creature Called Cyslod1s BPeaks All Other Previous
 ReeOPds.

All previous records in the fasting line have been broken by a queer rep. tile called a cyclodus, owned by Jo. seph St. Clair. a cigar merchant of 10l Hudson street, New York city. After a seven months' fast, during which the cyclodus took nothing in the shape of sustenance. it died .ast Sunday night. In the seven months it increased from eight to IS inches in length and grew stouter in proportion.
 The cyclodus is species of sand lizard, be.onging to the family of scin. cidoe. In color it is silver and gray, with brown spots and dark gray rings around it's body. and is found on the rocky shores of Australia. The most peculiar feature of this reptile is that it is double-headed. The four legs are jointed so that it can walk in either direction without turning round. The cyc.odus is web-footed. The foot has four fingers and thumb. while the joints on the legs are made on the same principle as a mans elbows.

late arriving in Phoenix Tuesday morning. The Southern Pacific cOm- pany having charge of the train from New Orleans to Portland, Oregon, re- fused 10 turn it over to the s. F. P. X P, and the run to Congress was made with the s. P. engine. a s. F. P. & F. engine going in advance us pilot. The train reached Congress Junction at S:l3 a. m. and was immediately transferred to the Congress road, where run Of three miles brought them to the Con- gress mine. Here the party was taken by special train over the switch back to the mouth of the incline shaft lead ing down into the mine.
 Here the party spent nearly three hours inspecting the mine and the big reduction plant, consisting Of an eighty stamp mill and cyanide plant. All of the party except President and Mrs. Mckinley and Secretary Wilson de. cended into the mine for depth of 5000 feet, but the president declined to make this trip. He entered the tunnel for a distance of 1900 feet, where he was greeted by number of miners waving American flags, in the depth of the earth, the tunnel being illuminated by electric lights. The scene made decided impression on the mind of the president, as he re. marked that he had seen the American flag floating from public buildings and from battleships, had seen it waved by school children, and had seen it in almost every conceivable shape and form. but that was the first time he had ever seen it waved beneath the earth's surface and in the hands of the sturdy American miner.
 The party decending to the 3,0OO, foot level were given an exhibition of the men at work drilling and blasting, and when all had returned to the surface, F. B. Gage, who escorted them through the property, took them down to ihe laboratory, where bar of gold bullion. of the value of $2S,OOO, was melted for the benefit of the visitors.
 A touching incident occurred during this transaction. An employee of the company named Richmond sustained u serious burn to his hand during the process. but, although suffering intense pain, he tried tO conceal 1t from the party. The president, however, noticed the burn and his efforts to conceal 1t, and taking him by the hand he sympa- thized with him on account of the accident and remarked: "You are cer- tainly a true aud worthy American citizen, possessed of the true American grit"
 The train left Congress on it's return trip to Phoenix at ll:0O, and when near Wickenburg a tire on one of the drive wheels of the s. F. engine came of, causing a slight delay. The disabled engine was taken to Wickenburg and run on the side track there while the s, F. P. & P. engine pulled the train into Phoenix, arriving there at 2:l5 p. m.
 Instructions were telegraphed to Prescott for wOrkmen, material and tools to repair the disabled engine, and they were forwarded by special train, but the accident caused delay of two or three hours in the party getting away from Phoenix.
 After leaving dbgress Junction the presidents atten,iah was called to Rich Hill, and when he was told that from
