Strange Caves Formed by Animals


That there are some animals which
cannot thrive without salt Is well
known, but no very clear demonstra-
tion of this was forthcoming until NJ.
Desuzinges, n French traveller, noticed
some remarkable caves In the Oristadt
district of the Transvaal and discover
ed, to his surprise, that they had been
gradually formed by animals lickjug
the salt of which their walls were large
ly formed.
Each of these grottoes, or caves"
he says, 'is as large rs an ordinary
drawing room, and the natives assured
me that they had been entirely hollow
ed out by the antelopes, which are
known in this country as 'dwicks.'
Wishing to learn why the animals bus
led themselves In making such excava-
tlons, l examined the caves and found
that their walls were impregnated with
salt, its presence being clearly revealed
by very characteristic crystallizations.
A day or two later, as was hunting,
] noticed IA antelopes rush out Of one
of these caves as soon as they heard
me approaching"
NJ. Desuzinges also says that the elks
in the Transvaal have a similar habit
and may often be seen searching for
salt near quarres or deposits of mari.

TO make good the $500, and the boys Of
the Sixteenth Clipped in as much
more, and so the soldier who lost his
leg and his shoe and his bank deposit
didn't come out SO badly after all. On
the day Lee surrendered, and while we
were having lively skirmlsh, staff
officer rode up and ordered us to fall
back and announced that negotiations
were In progress. There were cheers
all along the line, but later on we be-
gan to doubt the good news.

time. The messenger made a selection
and removed the shoe, but there was
no money. He tried again and again,
but did not hit 1t. Then he gave up
and searched no further. Soon after
he let go a soldier who had been
slightly wounded in the head came
along and looked the "scrap heap" over
and said to himself:
'There are some good shoes here, and
It would be pity to bury them with
legs and feet. I'll change mine for a
better pair"
In overhauling the relics he came
upon Corporal McFadden's left leg. He
removed the shoe and found it n fit.
Then he found n right one and was
provided for. Grant moved by the
flank that night, and the Confederates
did the same. The field was left in pos
session Of the Union forces. Next
morning the work of burial began.
While big hole was being dug for the
amputated arms and legs Corporal Nc
Fadden sent word to the sergeant in
charge of that detail about his $500.
''He's crazy" replied the sergeant.
"Here's a whole wagon load of left
legs, all looking alike, and how are we
to pick out his?"
No effort was made to do so. After
an hour or SO the last limb was tossed
into the pit, and the men began shovel
ing in the dirt. AS they worked away
the sergeant suddenly said:
Here. now, but you've overlooked
that leg in the bushes. You. Smith,
haul 1t out and dump it in."
''But there's something inside the
SOCK" said Smith. "Hold easy, now, till
I see what 1t Is"
With his knife the soldier ripped up
the sock, and there was the corporaps
greenbacks. Only three Of the party
saw the money. They winked at each
other and pocketed the find and later
on made a divide. That closed the in
cident for several weeks. Corporal
McFadden was sent to q hospital In
Washington and soon rallied. The SOL
diers who had gobbled his money went
to the front, and one day before Peters
burg Smith was mortally wounded.
TO ease his conscience he told about the
"divide." and chaplain wrote down
his confession. When the other two
men were called up, they denied the
story. A surgeon and star officer be-
came interested with the chaplain on
one side, and the captain Of Company
B. the colonel of the Sixteenth and
others took up the other side. Curious
Iy enough, the soldier who stole Nc.
Fadden's shoe came forward and &C

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE national
capital is in mourning to-day for ex-Presi-
dent Harrison. Flags are at half-mast not
on all the public buildings alone, but upon
the hotels. stores and many of the private
residences. The act of 1893 inhibits the
draping of public buildings in black, as
was the custom formerly upon the death
of an ex-President. President Mckinley,
who was deeply affected by the death of
General Harrison, directed that the doors
ors and denied himself to callers except
those who had business of urgent i'm
portance At 1890 this morning President
Mckinley issued proclamation formally
notifying the people of the country of the
death of their former chief magistrate and
directing the observance of period of
mourning for thirty days. In pursuance
of this proclamation the flags on every pub
lie building in the United States. at every
army post in the United States. Cuba. Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines and on
every American warship in whatever quar-
ter OF the globe will fly at half-mast for
thirty days. The proclamation follows:

gained fame and rapid advancement by his
energy and valor. As lawyer he rose To
be leader OF the bar. In the Senate he
at once took and retained high rank as an
orator and legislator and in the high Office
OF President he displayed extraordinary
gifts as administrator and statesman. In
public and private life he set a shining ex

widow and children and their appreciation

TO this country in time of very great peril,
and of his great and statesmanlike devo-
tion to the Nation as her chief magistrate.
ut is therefore recommended that on
the day of his funeral the flags be dis
played from the Statehouse and all public
buildings of Ohio. state, county and munich
