There are scattered over many large
pastures not only around Alamosa but

hundreds of dead cattle. and the
majority of the carcasses have fallen

A report comes from Copenhagen
that great rat hunt has been organ
lied there and that the skins of many
thousands of the victims are to be
used In making gloves. II the rat
hunters in the Danish capital cherish
any such hopes they are doomed to
disappointment, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves fit for commerce. The belief
that valuable raw material Is being
neglected here survives only In the
minds of the inexpert. The glove
maker knows much better. A Norwe-
gian merchant once came to England
and informed a well-known glove
maker that he had collected over 100
900 rat skins and was prepared to re-
ceiye offers for them. He was fully
convinced that the skins were suitable
for gloyemaking. But the manufact-
urer found that the largest skin was
only some six inches long and he held
up a kid skin for the smallest size
of glove a child's, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was to
cut such glove out Of rat skin.
Then he took up the smallest kid
skin for lady's glove, eleven inches
long, and when he asked how that was
to be cut out of a rat skin the Norwe-
gian merchant laughed at the idea and
went away disappointed. The best
offer he got for those skins, which he
had collected with so much care, was

the structure will be finished by 1906.

deplorable loss, some good attended

1t was found that the bricks had

they were built into the campanile, and
that they are not Venetian but Roman
bricks.
The ancient bricks were made In

bricks made this way can bear
greater weight than modern bricks.
The bricks examined were of the

imprint of a horseshoe, which may
prove that the Romans used horse

An Indian from the Flambeau reser'
walton in northern Wisconsin recently
came into the fishing resort of Squaw
Lake with a curiosity in the way Of
deer horns he wished to sell. Failing
to make a sale, he took the horns back
to the reservation. The Montreal Wit
ness describes his treasure as three
sets of antlers inextricably interlocked.
Two sets of antlers so locked are rare,
but not unknown. 1t is believed that
the Flambeau Chippewa has the only
set of three-locked antlers In the world.
The accident could have happened
only in one way. Two bucks of equal
strength were fighting In the forest
and became locked. Then, while they
were still struggling, a third buck APP
peared and charged them both, prob
ably repeatedly, until his own horns
became fastened.
The Indian says he found the horns
north of Flambeau Lake, about mile
from the water. They were lying on
the side of hill, and there were no
bones near them. The condition of the
horns proved that the fight occurred
not more than two years ago. The
antlers were all of full-grown bucks,
showing eight and ten points each,
The third pair had been driven into
the others just above where they were
Joined, and the branches of them were
about equally licked with the branches
of the others.
They were not broken or Clipped in
any way, which seems to indicate that
when the third buck had made his last
charge he was fastened so firmly that
there was no room for any one of his
points to play in the forks of the 9th
ers. Indeed, all the horns were so
stoutly Joined that they could not be
moved at all. They are as rigid as II
nodded In that fashion from steel.

at the same result in another way, by
connecting the weather with sun-spots,
