CONDUCTOR HURT
II, f. Billig in Charge of Heavily
Loaded Cattle Train, Badly
Injured by Explosion of
Torpedo ON Track
At Bovine.

Last night Conductor II. f. Blllig
a well known railroad man of this
city. was seriously injured at Bo
vino the cattle station a few miles
from the city.
Conductor Billlg was in charge of
heavily loaded freight and cattle
train which came in from the west
just short time ahead of Passen-
ger No. G. The train consisted OF
Al cars. fourteen cars being loaded
with sheep. The train had been on
the road over thirty-six hours. Con-
ductor Billig ran his train into the
siding at Bovine in order to let No.
pass. AS the passenger train came
in sight Conductor Billig climbed to
the top of the pilot of the engine OF
his train. He stated that he had in
mind the danger there might be of
the explosion of torpedos which are
placed along the tracks near the
city in order to warn the incoming
trains to slow up before entering the
yards.
Just as the engine OF No. came
alongside of the freight engine it ran
onto a torpedo and Conductor Blllig's
precautions taken in fear of such an
explosion, was made in vain for one
of the flying pieces of metal from this
torpedo struck Mr.. Billig on the left

There was n special meeting of the
city council called yesterday afternoon
by Mayor Bunting, ON the petition of
five members of the city council, To
provide for the tax levy for the city
for the ensuing fiscal year, commcnc-
ing April 1907.

In his sent Last night when the mayor
wrapped for order, promptly at x
o'clock The session lasted until near
ly eleven O'Clock and the council gave
their undivided attention to the bust
ness of the evening, which is one of
the most important mnttcHs of the
year.
The council was confronted by the
necessity of raising sufficient money
to provide for the interest on the new
bonded Indebtedness for the con-
structIon of the proposed mountain
water system. The annual interest
for the bonds will be fifteen thousand
dollars, but inaSnuch as the bonds
will not be used for quite some time
yet in the payment for the construc-
ton, IL was figured that one half of
the sum which will be needed annual
Iy TO pay the interest would be sufiic-
lent.
The desire of the council was to re-
duce the levy from 20 mills which
il was last year to lower amount,
which they succeeded in doing, not
the additional burden
that must be assumed in providing
for the payment Of interest ON the
new bonds. The levy WAC made RI
mills, as against 20 mills last year.
That amount is divided rs follows:
For the payment Of the old water
bonds 3 i-2 mills.
For the payment of the interest ON
the new water bonds mills.
For the maintenance of the public
library, 5-S mills
For the general expenses of the
city, II 5-s mills.
The total levy amounts to Fl mills.
The assessed valuation this year,
upon which this levy ~ made is ST.

ANIMAL METHODS OF DEFENSE

The animal now rubs them against the trees,
the velvet becomes scratched and torn, and
a ring is shortly noticed at the base. This
gradually hardens, forming a ridge of bone
that, effectually stops the flow OF blood to
the horns.
The velvet is now soon scraped off, and the
horns are seen scared with lines, that are the
burrows in which the veins ran.
In the great Irish elk, the horns spread out
to such an extent that one would have held
fifteen or twenty persons upon them.
More wonderful still was the Sivatherium,
an antelope-like creature that had four ais
tinct pair of horns presenting remarkable
appearance.
In the rhinoceros we find curious ar
rangement, the horns in some being easily
moved, seemingly only held by the skin. They
form terrible weapons, however, though to-
tally different in their construction from the
ivory tusks of the elephant with which they
are often matched, being formed of hairy.
fbre-like matter Some species have a single
horn, while Others have two.
Strangely enough, among some of the an
telopes, as the musk antelope, are found quite
long tusks, resembling those of wild boar,
though it is doubtful if they are used in the
same manner
Some birds have equally strange appendages
Thus, the spur-wing and the yacana have
strong hook-like spurs or horns upon their
wings, in a position that a terribly lacerat
ing blow can be struck calling to mind the
snrgeon-fsh that has a lance concealed in the
eide of the tail that can be thrown out at the
slightest warning, and by side motion of
the tail cause considerable damage to an
enemy.
A curious t,lsk is found in the skull of the
dugong. II grows and enlarges, but never
penetrates the lip, remaining almost entirely
concealed in the bone, and though of large
size perfectly useless as a means Of defense.

their head weapons for defense. They are
of two distinct kinds and subject to a mar
velous variation in the different families.
One group, represented by the common
because the weapons are hollow and persist
ent-that is, they are never shed except
in one instance, the prong-horned antelope.
In these cases, the horns are firmly fixed
upon the head, attached to cores that may
be seen on skulls that have been long sub
lected to the weather, the horns proper hav-
ing dropped off.
The growth of these horns is susceptible
to certain notifications Thus, in the wild
cattle Of South America, the horns attain
great length, spreading out, in graceful
curves, many feet; but, in domestic animals
that have been bred by man for hundreds of
years, they are much smaller.
Another great group, represented by the
deer, have solid horns that are cast at GER
tam times, and grow again very rapidly.
When stag loses its horns, it retres to
the dense woods, away from its kind, and
remains secluded until it is armed again
The growth of the new pair of antlers is very
remarkable. The young buck does not attain
the fully-branched pair until late in life.
The first set may have only few branches,
but the next year another point or more is
gained, and so on, until, in several years, the
animal may haye-as in the case of a red stag
caught in England-a pair of antlers with
sixty-six points.
The growth of new horn is very rapid.
At this time there is greater supply of
blood flowing to the head than at any other,
and very soon two velvet-covered knobs are
observed where the old horns were.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-09

Such an armament must have been much
more effective than that possessed by our
present elephants, as when the two upper tusks
were lifting some object attacked, the third
straight, spear-like one may have penetrated
the enemy like a knife
A similar instance is noticed In the mar
whal, one of the most interesting and beau
tiful Of the Northern whales. They are the
origin of all the tales and illustrations. OF

the animal is seen leaping from the water,

ed, and from it extends beautifully twisted
ivory horn, socalled but in reality the greatly
developed incisor tooth.
In some cases, two of the teeth are thus
developed, giving the animal still more re-
markable appearance.
Some of these tusks, that are of rich creamy
tint, are eleven feet long, perfectly straight,
and good lift for man. The point is quite
sharp, beautifully polished and worn, show
ing that in all probability they are used
in some way, though how is somewhat of a
mystery, as the narwhal is fond of shell-fsh,
never .purposely attacking the larger animals.
whales have teeth before they are born; but,
prior to birth, they are absorbed. and later
the great rows of whalebone, weighing sew
eral TONS take their place.
In the walrus the incisor teeth are enor-
mously developed, so that they form huge de-
pending tusks, three feet in length by which
they lift themselves upon the rocks. The
numbers are exported from the far north,
and, with the teeth or tusks of the narwhal
and various large animals, are made into knife
handles and other articles of use and orna-
ment

consists of earth and stones which have been
brought down on the surface of the glacier,
and lodged here little by little. These banks
are sometimes almost mountainous in size,
and require much time and strength for
clambering over them.
Besides these, there are medal moraines,
formed by the union of two glaciers, and ter
