Implements Used Two Centuries Age

A remarkable collection of nipple
ments used by miners in 1853 has

The discovery includes q wooden
pump stock, twenty-five feet long and
almost intact; a section of chain for,

some hammers Of ancient make.
More than this, it has become posi-

the United States.
The discovery was recently made By

A Strange Adnntion.

At one of the geological gardens a
cage of white rats stands quite near
the cage of the monkeys, relates the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The monkeys
had always shown so much curiosity
about the rats that the keeper one day
concluded to put one of the rats in
with them to see what they would do.
They fairly screamed with delight
when the rat entered and at once be-
gan to make friends with him.
The rat was inclined to run away
from them for the first day or two,
but seeing that they did not intend to
do him any harm he lost his fear and
permitted them to fondle and caress
him as much as they liked. This they
did constantly, stroking his white fur,
holding him in their arms and offer
ing him part of their food. They even
picked out the choice bits and gave
them to him, as if he were a guest
whom they were delighted to entertain.
One day new idea occurred to the
oldest monkey. He had the rat in his
arms, and putting 1T down gently on
the floor Of the cage he cautiously
sat down on it. The rat did not move
nor did it seem to object to the queer
use to which the monkey was putting
it. AS for the monkey, he looked about
with broad grin on his face, and fair
f1y chartered with delight over the soft
cushion he had found.
After sitting there for while, he
got up so that the other monkeys
might try it, and they we're all as much
pleased as he had been.
From that time on the rat was il
daily use as cushion, and he took il
with perfect good temper, never OBJ
jecting to it in the least. AS the mon
keys were invariably kind to it, tn,
keeper allowed it to remain in theil
fcage, and the strange performances be
came one of the sights of the garden.

a senl,a Narrow Escape.


A few years ago some fishermen
were following their vocation off q
harbor on the Maine coast, when they
observed a commotion on the surface,
and soon made out a seal leaping from
the water as If followed by some
enemy.
It came near the boat, swimming
around It several times, and then,
making a leap, the men saw that 1t
was being chased by a large fish.
One of the fishermen dropped his
line, and, stepping into the bow, lean
ed over and held out his hands. To
his amazement the seal Immediately
dashed towards him, and, with his
help scrambled out Of the water into
the boat, just in time to escape the
sharp weapon of a swordfish that
darted by, its big eyes staring, prob
ably in wonder at the method of es-
cape, to its fshy intelligence being
evidently a case of out Of the frying
pan into the fire.
But the little seal apparently knew
better, and it need not be said that
its confidence was not misplaced, as
the men were so pleased with its &C
ton in coming to them they kept
it as a pet, and the seal became IA
miliar object about the shore.

Nordenskiold found that the white
bears generally went through a long
performance of stalking his sailors,
clearly on the mistaken conclusion that
they were seals. AS the men were
clothed partly in sealslIin, 1t was very
natural mistake. But the interest of
the story lies in the generalization
made by the bear. The bear said:
There are two or three seals, one
standing up on its fippers in very I'M
usual way. / will therefore stalk them
unseen as long as l can, and when they
see me pretend to be doing something
else" So the men, with their guns
and lances, who wanted to shoot the
bear had the pleasure Of seeing him
carefully crawling behind rocks and
ice hummocks, making long detours
this way and that, and every now and
then clambering up rock and peeping
cautiously over to see if the seals
had gone. On the open snow the bear
would saunter off in another direction,
and then falling fiat, push himself
along on his belly, with his great front
paws covering his black muzzle, the
only thing not matching the snow
about him. Just as the hear thought
he had got his seal the latter fired and
shot him. victim Of false analogy

about three feet high, of decidedly

with a gaze that contained an unmis
taxable appeal for something to eat
Of course, I could not resist the plea of
a dumb brute that was hungry. What
woman can? When the creature had
eaten to its hearts, or rather its
stomach's content it walked out of the
door just as a gentlemanly tramp
might have done.

That the wonderful development OF

It is announced that this line win
be equipped with trolley cars capable
Of attaining a speed OF 60 miles an
hour and that passengers viii DO

OF course this road IS only on paper
as yet, but its practlcability from q

point will not be challenged in the
light Of the many long-distance in
terurban trolley lines that are now in
successful operation all over the coun-

ment and the scent fare for 80 miles
are propositions that may never get
beyond the limitations OF engineering
optimism, but leaving these claims out
of consideration a trolley line from
the Quaker city to Jersey City pay ing
a good dividend on the investment, Isl
possibility that may be easily realized.
In all trolley traction projects Of this
character due allowance is always
made for the radiant optimism OF the
promoter
That trolley traction has not yet

terurban lines that are being pre-
jected all over the Union. 1t will soon

for constructing a continuous route be-

ride from Columbus to Cincinnati.
From Columbus north a line Is now
