sPEcrER IN COLORADO.
Phen omena Of the Brockcn In the
Harris Mountains Reproduced
At Green Mountain.

The term mountain specter"i is taken
from the Encyclopedias Britannica,
where it is noticed under the article
''Halo." The best-known example is
at the Broken in the Hartz noun
tains.
From the description of the phe-
nomenon as observed at that place, it
is inferred that the appearance noted
in Colorado was quite as distinct as
that at that famous locality. It was
observed February from the top of
Green mountain near Boulder, Col.
This mountain is n high point in the
foothill belt; its summit is $500 feet
above the plains which it overlooks,
or aboAt $500 feet above the sea, says
Science.
On the day mentioned, after 1880 p.
M, patches of white cloud were drift
ing below it's summit. Occasional snow
fiurries visited the plains below. The
temperature was apparently below the
freezing point. At the hour of observa-
tion the sun, which was not more than
90 degrees above the horizon, was Shin
ing clear Mt the summit.
Opposite the sun. few hundred feet
distant, was mass of white or gray
ish-cloud. Upon this cloud was seen q
complete circle of rainbow colors. The
diameter of the most pronounced red
ring was estimated at nine degrees.
Outside of this was faint color, and
then suggestion of red ina illlarger
circle. Within the nine degree red
ring were blue and violet, the center
appearing dull lavender.
In the field within the bright red ring
appeared the shadow of the observer,
which was SO definite as to reproduce
all movements of arms and hands.
Each observer. saw his own shadow
and the reproduction of his own move
ments, and could see nothing of the
shadow or movements of his neighbor,
If standing more than six or eight feet
away. Tie phenomenon was watched
about 20 minutes.

When horses are on grass, their di-

what Corn wheat IL.

The corn-wheat that has been ex-
plotted from the northwest is nothing
more nor less than macaroni wheat
with large berry. From the tests
conducted throughout the state by the
Nebraska experiment station, it is safe
to say that macaroni wheats yield bet
ter than other spring varieties, but. we
have no data of comparison with win
ter wheat. The Russian varieties are
superior in yield, the average being 21.s
bushels per acre.

The Colombian revolution, although
so terrible in it's results, was not
without it's humorous features. One
of the funniest of these was the Incl

and ordered coffee for $3.50 in the
morning.
The troops were lined up at that
hour outside the hotel, and the gen
eral strutted 10 and fro, waiting for
his ciffee and telling everybody what
terrible things he was going to do
to the enomy. But a complication
arose. Perez had not been a general
long, but he wanted milk in his coffee.
Whereas nine Colombians out Of ten
are content with black coffee. There
was no milk. The cows are kept three
or four hours journey out of town,
and, OF course. milk cannot be kept
over night in that tropical climate
The hotel folk figured that the milk
could not arrive before IL O'clock.
The general fumed and fretted.
Some of his officers suggested that he
had better start without the milk. or
the enemy would escape; but he said
it was impossible to fight on black
coffee. He sent a soldier post haste
to fetch the milk, and then another af.
ter him to hurry him up. Meantime
the army stood in the broiling sun for
hours waiting the order to march. It
was nearly noon when the messengers
returned.

"The Three Musketeers."

The second appearance of the present
engagement of Daniel Ryan, the ro-
mantle young actor, and his splendid
company of players, took place at the
Opera house, last evening. An inter-
ested audience was in attendance and
eyinced the greatest pleasure at inter-
walls during the production. The piece
presented was Salvini's version of the
dramatiZation of Dumas celebrated
novel. 1.-THE Three Guardsmen," and its
production, last night, was character
lied by elegant costumes, gorgeous
scenery, magnificent stage settings and
superb acting far surprising anything
seen here in long time.
Mr.. Ryan, as usual in all his plays,
assumed the most important character
in the piece. 1t was that of D'Artag-
nan, the rollicking, daring, intrepid
musketeer, who, for the woman he
loved. braved a thousand dangers and
Overcame innumerable obstacles that
he might render her a service and in
cidentaliy preserve to Anne of Austria
a pure and untarnished name. Mr. Ry-
an admirably portrayed the character,
and time and again was handsomely
4 applauded. And when, having to fight
TO maintain possession of the queens
diamonds, which he had obtained from
the Duke of Buckingham on board ship,
and finding defeat was imminent, he
leaned through the portals into the
open sea, the audience burst forth into
enthusiastic acclaim. He was called
before the curtain ana was compelled
to acknowledge his appreciation of the
ovation so spontaneously rendered him.
Wayne Campbell as Cardinal Rich
clue was all that could be desired. His
impersonation of the man who had once
held the destiny of the King of France
in his hands was true and accurate.
while James Gordon as the Duke of
buckingham displayed talent far above
the ordinary. Athos, the musketeer,
was portrayed by Harry c. Brown in
n well merited manner.
Ella Cameron as Anne of Austria,
made a magnificent Queen of France,
and in almost perfect enunciatlon re-
cited her lines. Alice Flemrning as Con-
stance, the faithful and devoted ser
vitor of the Queen, won unstinted
praise throughout the production of the
play. H4
All of the other characters were well
sustained. In fact the play, from be-
ginning to end, was presented in a
manner far above the capacity of the
average repertoire company.
Tonight, Mr. Ryan will close his en-
gagement by the lavish production of
'"The Count of Monte Cristo," another
dramatiZation from the works of the
elder Dumas, a play that possesses all
the fire and snap and action that in
variably characterizes the stories of the
greatest of ali French novelists.

"The Evil Eye"

Chas. II. Yale and Sidney r. Ellis
"The Evil Eye" which appears at the
Opera House on Saturday April II, is
q Kaleidoscope, pantomimic, operatic.
melodramatic spectacle Of much merit,
ably interpreted by clever cast and
brimful of mirth provoking situations,
pleasantly relieved by well executed
musical numbers, first class vaudeville
novelties and amazingly funny panto'
mimic tricks and sensations bordering
on the marvellous, with an occasional
piece of strong dramatic work to add
to it's interest.
