TO REVITALIZE AIR.
Experiments Made to Accomplish It by
 Artificial Means.

Dr. Desgrez, professor of the fac- ulty of medicine, Paris, and NJ. Bait hazard, house surgeon of one of the hospitals there, have just presented to the Academy of science an appar- atus embodying remarkableand im- portant discovery, says the London News. It is claimed that by means of it il will be possible to maintain life in the most poisonous atmosphere, to enter rooms full of dense smoke or pits full of noxious gases, without hurt ordiseomfort. Some particulars of this discovery are given by Dr, Desgrez himself in an interview pub~ lished in the Eclair. He says:
 "The reagent needed to regenerate the air vitiated by the confinement of an animal in an inclosed space had to be of such kind that it would not only liberate the necessary oxygen and absorb the carbonic acid, but would also destroy the poisonous sub- stances called by MM..Brown-Sequard and d2Arsonya. pulmonary poison, Now bioxide of sodium decomposes in cold by the action of water, produce ing oxygen on the one hand and on the other soda, powerful alkali. This latter takes up the earbonic acid as soon as it is formed, and, moreover, as in the process of decomposition, the chemical employed is possessed of powerful oxidizing properties, the poi sonous products of respiration are also destroyed.
 In the experiments undertaken the subjects were in. the first place guinea pigs and dogs, though later the two investigators experimented on each other. The animals were each confined under a dramatically sealed bell, near them being placed quan- tity of bioxide of sodium, so arranged that water might be dropped upon it slowly and constantly. In all cases it was found that by employing the bioxide life could be maintained un- der conditions which otherwise it would have been impossible. The ap- paratus consisted of a kind of suit, suggesting divers dress, in which the principle thus demonstrated is embodied. Dr. Desgrez says that 120 grams of bioxide of sodium suffice to regenerate the atmosphere breathed in the space of an hour. Itis hoped that the discovery will be of great service in mining disasters, fires, etc,

A TERROR TO RANCHMEN.
sBigfoot," the Giant Grizzly, and Lis
 Costly Expectations.


 Costly Expectations.
 "Bigfoot," according to a recent dispatch to the New York World, is on the rampage again and the cat- tlemen of West Idaho county, Idaho, from the Snake to the Salmon river are up in arms against him.
 'Bigfoot" is the famous giant griz- zly who has been the terror of cattle owners throughout all that country for years,
 Nearly twice the size ofan ordinary grizzly, "Bigfoot" for years has levied his tribute of prime steers and no one has been found brave enough or clever enough to catch or kill him.
 With a single blow of his giant paw he kills the largest and best animal he can find and he usually takes the pick of a herd. He makes single meal of the animal, and it is usually meal that would provide camp full of men for q week, and disap- pears, never to return to that locality again that season.
 A standing offer of $500 was once placed upon "Bigfoot's" head and there is still big money for the man that killshim. Yet so ferocious is this great creature that tie brayest hunt CTS hesitate to show themselves when "Bigfoot" is about He is as cunning in the handling of men as he is in the picking of a steer for dinner, and many narrow escape is recorded by those who have had the ill-luck 10 get into the same neighborhood with him.
 "Bigfoot's' depredationsin the sey, eral years that he has been operating in the Salmon river country amount to many thousands of dollars. His presence in the vicinity of q ranch is sufficient 10 set the herds in a state of excitement bordering on panic and the eattlemen themselves hear of his appearnce with dismal eountenances and assurances of days and nights oi trouble.
 The grizzly's last appearance was near the little cattle town of White bird. where he kept the entire popu- lation on tenterhooks for days. took a couple of expensive meals and then departed with half a dozen desperate but terrified hunters on his trail.
 Even Even the the Indians Indians ef the reggiieenr, usually fesrless hunters, are afraid of "Bigfoos,' and many superstition as 10 his supernatural powers.is cur rent among them.

THE SOMETHING CLERK.
Why He Has Forearms Like Those of a
 Blacksmith.

A Johnnie was sitting before the counter of a Montgomery haberdash- CTS the other day. His elbow was at an extreme angle on a velvet cush- ion, and the clerk behind the counter was straining and tugging al the fin gers of light gray glove, which he was forcing on to the Johnnie's up- turned hand. "Tbat must take a good deal of muscle" remarked the ehappy, noting the exercise which the clerk was undergoing.
 'Musclel' ejacuiated the clerk, "Just feel my forearm. Doyou know how many pairs of gloves l have fit ted on this week?"
 Fifty said the Johnny, on g hazard.
 Fifty" said the clerk, scorpfully, "Three hundred and twelve. That's dead straight and an actual count, No wonder l have forearm like a coal heayer and back like an oars man. The fitting on of gloves is one of the best exercises in the world, Ton see you have to lean far forward over the counter, and the steady dewn- ward pressure of the fingers is a bet ter exercise than any gymnasium course you ever saw. It would sur- prise you to know what athletic crea- lures the glove girls in the shops all over town are. It's a case of the sur yiyal of the fittest and the girl who can't stand the pressure gets job at the ribbon counter"
 "It's a wonder that more clerks don't take up prize-fghting," said the Johnnie.
 "That wouldn't be genteel,' said the clerk. But if you think every clerk is an effete and delicate Lizzie, just because he tries on your gloves, you had better feel his muscle and take another think, San Francisco News Letter,

JOKE WAS TOO REALISTIC.
Comedian Himself Fooled When He Thought to Fool the Audience.

Comedian Himself Fooled when He
 Thought to Fool the Audience.
 The properties that are used on the burlesque stage are not always eoun- terfeit, although there is 8 popular idea that stage whisky is generally cold tea, that stage butter is g thick mixture of yellow corn meal and water and that stage milk is never anything 1 but chalk and water The people in the front row of a local theater re- gently had il demonstrated to them l that the milk used in bottle had once been the real thing, and they had req son to regret that the property man had not followed the usual rule of manufacturing the article out of chalk and water.
 The comedian had been in the habit of doing an effective bit of acting with q large rag baby dressed up to re- semble real child, and 2 baby 'snurs- ing bottle filled with q substance re- sembling milk. No one in the audi enee thought it WAS milk and neither did the comedian himself. He had been handling the bottle for weeks and had not noticed that the cork was getting loose. Several nights ago it occurred to the comedian that lie could make his part funnier by let ting the cork out of the bottle and al- lowing some of the "milk" to escape as he went through his usual motions in extracting laughter from the crowd.
 The comedian was much more sue eessfnl than he had any idea he would be. for when the cork came out of the bottle considerable amount of its contents came also. in chunks, and with an odor which was stronger even than that of limburger cheese. The comedian lodged back from the stage as quickly as possible, his hand to his nose, and the chorus girls carefully avoided the spot on the stage where the milk had fallen. A soon as the comedian had finished his part he made bee line for the property man in the wings, who was responsible for the contents of the bottle,
 Why didn't you tel me that you had real milk in that bottle?' de- manded the comedian, indignantly.
 Because, l never thought you'd be fool enough to let the cork cut, said the property man with equal heat T filled that bottle with milk when We were at Buffalo, eight weeks ago. and il would have done well enough if you'd only had sense. enough to keep the cork in.. Of course, you can't ex- pect milk to keep sweet bottled up for eight weeks, and nobody but a thick headed Irish comedian would expect 1t. I've got to go and buy another pint of milk now to i'll up that bottle with, and this show ain't making any too much money anyway. Its idiots like you who spoil the properties in shows and break them up in busi- ness"
 Theanswer of the property man for the time being completely squelched the unfortunate comedian, and hcin- wardly resolved to investigate all properties before he attempted 10 in- troduce any originality into the act he had been performing for F years.- Milwaukee Sentinel.

A PLEASANT CHANGE.
Fewer Sparrows and More Song Birds
 Noticed in Capital City.

"As the sparrows grow less in num- bers in this city the song birds an- crease, observed one of the men who have spent years in looking after the parks of the city, according to the Washington Star l suppose you have noticed at least the advent of the songsters if you have not had called to mind that the noisy sparrow is not so much in eyideneein the esueets and parks of the city as Was formerly the case? The one is the cause and the other the effect, for l believe that ii has been pretty well established that when thesparrows arenumerous birds of the smaller species are noticeable for their absence.
 "The ehangeis certainly a pleasant one, should think, n place of the strident chatter of the sparrow to hear Ahe sweet notes of the robins and other song birds. The other day l noticed 8 black blrd hopping over the grass of the parks in search oi worms, and there afe other varieties of birds which can be seen, and tc some extent studied without going outside of the city limits.
 Al this time of the yearthe worms gre plentiful in the parks, and that is one reason why they prove to be such attractive resorts for the birds. The other evening as l passed through ont of the smaller parks Inoticed two ol three men with lanterns going ovel the grass and picking up the worms that had come out under the cover oi darkness. They each had q large pail full Of worms in readiness for the fish, ing trip the next day

The Mohicans.

con one beautiful spring day in
1871 two red men of a once famous
tribe also becoming extinct-the Mo
hicans-came to the wigwam of the
chief of the Delawares bearing an in
vitation to the Delawares to come and
live with them. The invitation read:
Pack UP your mat and come and eat

Japanese SchooIboys Resist Temper


ance.
We had to report recently a strike
on the part of the students of the
Miye Middle school. On that occasi n
the fault seemed to be largely on the
side Of the faculty of the school and
the governor of the prefecture. News
now comes of strike at the Middle
school of Oita, in which the students
appear to be chiefly to blame. The
account given in Toxic journals is
that the elder students, angered by
some sever structures passed by Mr.
Tiki, one of the teachers, against all
increasing habit of imbibing sake, de-
manded his removal. Apparently the
principal yielded so far as to suspend
Mr.. Tiki, but, at the same time, he
rusticated some Of the students.
This led to a renewed and stronger
demonstration on the latter's part.
They drew up document arraigning
the principal and the teachers on
various counts and demanding the
dismissal Of the whole faculty. Thir-
teen of them were now expelled, with
the result that meetings began to be
held outside the school for the pur-
pose Of planning a general strike.
The trouble is not over Of course
this version comes from the side of
the teachers.-Japan Weekly Mail

QUEER GROWTHS.
Roses Without Thorns and Apples
Without Seeds.

Without Seeds.
You cannot cross gooseberry and
a currant, nor, though the experiment
has often been tried, produce fruit
half way between an apple and a
/ pear. Yet what the gardener, with
months of careful toll, fails in, nature
in freakish mood, sometimes manu-
features in startling perfection.
Last year, for instance, an aston
ishing flower appeared upon rose
bush in garden at Violet Hill, Stow
market. The rose grows near an
apple tree, and as one of it's largest
buds was bursting into bloom it was
growing in it's center.
The apple blossoms opened as the
petals of the rose developed making
flower so strange as perhaps never
before was seen.
Even more amazing was the pro-
duct of a grapevine on the property
of Joseph Worl, at Peru, Ind. Little
apples were found growing on it in
stead of grapes. AS the vine was
partly shaded by an apple tree, it is
supposed that the pollen of the apple
blossoms combined with that of the
grape flower, and so produced these
extraordinary little fruit.
But, apart from the freaks of ma
ture as these. horticulturists have of
later years been producing a success
sion of the most astonishing hybrids
of one h4nd and another. They work
il three ways. either by grating one
stock upon another, by crossing one
