Chinese ingenuity.

Many attempts have been made t
find an .unfailing supply of pearls. The
Chinese, it is said, have solved in
their own way the problem of how to
make a mussel lay pearls. Five or
six small beads, made of mother-of'
pearl and strung together by a thread,
are dropped at the proper season into
the open mouth of the she'll. Two
years later the mussel, when recov-
credit is made to disgorge the beads,

made pearl.

FAILED TO ESCAPE
AFTER CAREFUL PLANS.

Lessee Gramm of the state peniten-
tiary at Rawlins was notified this
morning of an unsuccessful attempt of
a prisoner to escape. The fellow has
been i'll with rheumatism for several
days. Night before last. when the
| guard made his rounds to count. he
found this prisoner in his bunk fast
asleep. The rule is hat all prisoners
must present their faces at the bars
on the count. and when the guard
came the second time he determined
to wake the prisoner and compel him
to obey the rules. The guard found
that the man had made a mask of a
piece of soap, and concealed it in bed
in such a way as to show only part
of the features. A search was made
and the prisoner was found concealed
in the bin used for receiving old
broomstraw, he having had no time
to scale the wall and escape. He vas
returned to his cell.

The extent of Mr.. Mulhern's illness is

assured that his brother, living at
Rawlins, was not a fireman. and had
not, as far as he knew. been killed
in a wreck.
Brakeman Saves Himself.
Brakeman Green on the west-bound
train jumped clear of the wreck and
escaped without serious injury. Mr..
Rasmussen was not able to jump.
His injury is slight and will cause him
little u~neasiness.
MI. Kelly, the fireman, was the only
n of the five men killed who lived
after the wreck. He lived for two
hours and for a part of that time he
was conscious. He was pinned in the
w~reckage and it took strong efforts
on the part of his mates to extricate
his body from the wreck. When the
steam had blown away N the res
cuers could get to the bodies of the
other four, they found them all stiff
in death, the messenger having per
haps come at the moment of the
compact.
Men to the Rescue.
Those of the three train crews who
were not injured went to the relief
of the others with all the power al
their command. Mr.. Sims was taken
from the wreck and brought to this
city. At noon it was considered that
he could possibly survive the shock OF
the wounds and the tremendous loss
of blood. Drs. Stevens. Miller and
McCollum were at the side of the in,
jured man, doing what they could to
relieve his sufferings.
Tramp Received Attention.
Engineer Rasmussen. in charge of
the second engine on the west-bound
train, who had been assisting in re-

the bodies of the dead, found a man
lying beside the track and heard him
calling for water. Going to the side
of the unfortunate one. he found him
unable to move, each leg having been
broken, and suffering as well from
cold. Mr.. Rasmussen built a fire near
the fellow and asked some nearby sec
