BIG PETRIFIED STUMP.
One lr. Colorado That I* Twenty Feel
In Ulaiuclor and Ten Feet
High.
The petrified stump of a gigantic
redwood tree, which la in an almost
perfect state of petrifaction, is at
Florissant, not far from Cripple
Creek, Col., says the Wide World
Magazine.
Although numberless people have
taken specimens from this stump ag
gregating many tons, it is still esti
mated to weigh fully 440 tons. To
give a better Idea of its size It may
be well to state that it is 20 feet in
diameter and ten feet high.
There have been many attempts to
dig it up and place it upon exhibition,
the last being a scheme to exhibit it
at the great exposition at St. Louis
in 1004. Owing to its great weight,
however, this had to be abandoned,
ns there are no railway cars capable
of earryinganywhere near its weight.
What, perhaps, makes it more of a
curiosity is the fact that tills Itocky
mountain region is a country of
small trees, and that there are no
giant redwoods within a thousand
miles of tiiis stump—which goes to
show that nature has changed the
entire vegetable growth of this sec
tion, as nothing requiring the semi
tropical heat of arelwood tree would
grow at this altitude now.

UNDISMAYED BY PERIL.
An Impressive Instance of tin* Cool
ness of I’nul <lu ( li ii 111 u In
Eure of lluiiKer.
The lute. Paul du Chaillu was a man
of indomitable bravery. Nothing
perturbed him. In the most desper
ate crises Ids air was calm and some
what humorous, says the New York
Tribune.
One of the veteran conductors of
the Pennsylvania railroad said of him
on the announcement of his death:
“Mr. du Chaillu was a man whom you
couldn't frighten. Danger seemed to
enliven him. I'll never forget a ride
he once took with me. He eat in the
last car of the train, a parlor ear,
and we came near having a rear end
collision.
“Mr. du Chaillu, from his seat,
could see the other train approach
ing ns could see that a collision was
pretty near inevitable. He said to
me as I took my stand beside him:
"Conductor, have you got a piece
of chalk?’
“‘What on earth, sir,’ I asked, ‘do
yon want with a piece of chalk now?'
"‘Why, it looks,' he answered, ‘as
if our legs and arms would be flying
about, in a little while, and I think it
would be a good thing to mark them,
eo that we mayldontify them later.’’’

An Oklahoma man once told an
Indian t hat a desperate white man was
after his Hcuip. He smiled ami shook
his head, relates the Kansas (Jit} 1
Journal. A few days later we were
talking to the white man, when tin
Indian eaine up to join the group.
He hud spotted tin; stranger and
knew him by sight. Without saving
a word to him he walked up within
arm’s reach and struck the white
man in the face with a rough, heavy
glove. Hr paused for a few seconds
and hit him again. “Ughl" he ex
claimed as he wheeled around and
walked away. The white man looked
at the Indian In ama/ument, but
made no show of resentment. Later
in (he day, when we asked the Indian
why he didn't follow up the insult
with blows, he told us the while man
was a coward. In explaining how he
knew it he said the man’s “jaw drop

the second time with the glove, and
Ilia) this, with the Indian, was an un
failing sign of cowardice,

ROMAN ARENA DUO UP
Ancient Amphitheater Is Discovered
Under the City of Paris.
Wm Evidently Hull! Dnrlnjf the Ro
man Occupation ot (innl—Effort
to Dc Made to ItcNtore the
IntcreHliiiK Ruin.
In the very henrt of Paris, shut In
by iron railings and hidden from the
street by a little hill, grass covered
and adorned with trees, lies a most
interesting relic of the days long
since gone by when this beautiful
city was under the rule of the Ro
man invader. The spot is known to
those who know if at all as the Parc
L’Arene, and the Roman arena which
nestles quietly in its center was dis
covered by accident after a sleep of
many centuries. It lias never been
mentioned in any guide book.
There was urgent need of anew
water supply in the locality on the
left bank of the Seine, not far from
the Jardin des Plantes. To provide
a reservoir the authorities began to
excavate in a little park at the cor
ner of Rue Navarre and Rue Monpe,
frequented only by children and their
nurses.
After the digging had been going
on awhile the workmen came upon a
structure belonging to another ago.
Proceeding carefully, little by little,
they laid bare a Roman arena.
Whether the work was done by
Roman slaves or conquered Gauls un
der the lash of a Roman taskmaster
4s a matter of conjecture.
The entrance to the arena is from
the Rue Navarre. To the right and
left are the boxc.-> reserved for the
nobles, nnd one larger nnd heifer
situated than the rest may have been
for the emperor, Gn either side of
the entrance are cages bpilt under
the scats. Looking into them the
visitor enn fancy that one had been
a cell for Christians nnd captives,
while from the other came the cries
and snarls of hungry boasts that
were to devour them in the arena to
furnish a Roman holiday in the cap
ital of sunny France.
When half of the arena had been
brought to view the work had to be
discontinued, ns it runs under the
wall of an adjoining building used
by an omnibus company, whose lease
has some time vet to run. The city
authorities have decided to buy the
property as soon as the lease runs
out nnd restore the other half of the
amphitheater.
DUCHESS CARVED IN MARBLE.
Wile of Duke of Mnrlhoromth Una
Statuette of Herself Made by
Emlnml Sculptor.
An exquisite statuette of the duch
ess of Marlborough has Just been
carved in marble by Fuchs, who
painted a successful portrait of King
Edward, and designed the new post
age stamps. The duchess is repre
sented in a reclining position on a
wide couch witli an empire dress of
thin material that falls into many
folds. The marquls_ of Blandfnrd.
her elder son, lias also been carved
in marble by the same sculptor. The
boy is lying on ids back, his chubby
upturned face wearing an interested
look, as if watching a butterfly. His
fat limbs arc finely modeled.
Although the gossips say many
tilings about how the fortune of the
duke and duchess will be affected by
the mnrlage o fihe duchess’ father,
W. K. Vanderbilt, the work of build
ing Blandford house is not stopped
altogether, as it has been asserted.
There has been considerable delay
in the arrival of materials, carvings
and marble from the continent, and
it is said that the architect’s certifi
cate for payment has not met the
customary response. Certain mat
ters being in dispute, the builder has.
under the contract, the option of
stopping work until the money is
paid.
Although the greatest reticence is
observed by nil concerned In the de
lay, a story Is going the rounds that
the new Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt
is anxious for a statement showing
how tin money given to the duchess
by her father two years ago, for the
purpose of building a London home,
lias been spent.
PREHISTORIC CAVE FOUND.
Four II n innn Skeleton" Are Taken
from the Debrt" of Clny
and Aube*.
Prof. C. N. Gould has returned from
-mithwi -tern Misaoiul, where he was
i ngaged in an inspection of a cave
which promises to he of much arch
aeological value. The cave is four
miles north of the Arkansas line, and
12 cast of the Indian Territory. It
is 70 feet long, a. hole dug out of the
solid rock. The bottom is covered
with a c -atlug of ashes three feet
deep.
Out >f the debris of ashes and clay
have been dug four human skeletons,
together \\ 11li the bones of several spe
cie of animals. The arms of these
skeletons are unduly long, and the
legs very short. Flint instruments of
nil kinds, knives, spear heads and
drills, us w ell us bone and stone Instru
ments, have been found in great profu
sion.
Stalactites have formed above the
coat of ashes in which the skeletons
were found, which must have taken
thousands of years to form.

CHAMPION MONEY FINDER.
Philadelphia Man Who Has Pound
Two Million Dollars, and the
Owners of It.
Tsnac Ranks, of this city, claims to
have found and returned to the own
ers more valuables and money than
any other man livinp, reports a* Phila
delphia exchange. A (food many men
have found valuables and not kept
them, but Mr. Ranks figures up that he
has found $2,000,000, and that every bit
of this has pone back to the owner.
He did not find this in a lump sum,
nor did he find a check for the $2,000,-
000. He made his finds durinp the
course of a lonp life and he was just
as fortunate in findinp the owner each
time.
It was not all cash, but nearly all
of it was nepotiablc— nepotiable bonds
and stocks and diamonds and pearls
and sapphires, watches, rlnps and
tiaras, thinps which are surelj’ profita
ble enouph. And Mr. Ranks found,
too, a pood deal of cash-—sufficient,
indeed, had he kept if, to have made
him a rich man. Rut of the whole $2,-
000,000 not one penny did he keep.
It would seem that Mr. Ranks must
have potten, for findinp so much
money, some very larpc and penernus
rewards. These are the rewards (hat
he received for restorinp valuables
worth $2,000,00 to their owners: In
cash, $3O; in presents (ploves, neckties,
books, etc.), $lOO.
A FAMOUS IRISHMAN,
In \Vhnp Memory n Slntno Wm
Greeted In Hiinunry'ii Prln
eliml City.
A monument to Count John Butler,
the Irish-Hungnrinn, fnmous for his
charities, was lately unveiled amid
much enthusiasm at Buda-Pesth, says
a London report. Count John was a
descendant of the Butler who assist
ed in the murder of Wallenstein, hero
of the Thirty Years’ War, for which
deed the emperor of Germany reward
ed him with a count’s coronet. In
the course of time the family ac
quired immense wealth, and is now
among the biggest landowners in
Hungary, as well as Bohemia and
Bavaria, the head of the family, how
ever, always choosing a military ca
reer. The Butler commemorated by
the monument was ns well known for
his charities as for his matrimonial
troubles. When a youth Count D.ory
compelled John, revolver in hand, to
marry his daughter Josephine. He
fled during the wedding night, and
afterward refused to recognize Jose
phine's child. The divorce suit he
brought against his wife lasted 3(1
years, until the day of his death.
Even his change of religion, frnni
Catholic to ITotetant, did not obtain
him a decree.
NEW METAL DISCOVERED.
A Compound of Aluminum nnd It la
Proof Aprulnat Chemical
Influence.
The Central Zeitung filer Optik und
Meehanlk, of Berlin, states that anew
metal has been discovered which will
be put on the market under the name
of meteorite. It is a compound of
aluminum, is Just ns light ns aluminum
itself, und proof against chemical in
ti uences.
At the same time it is extremely
pliable, so that it can boused for pipes,
wiring, horseshoes, nnd in all cases
where brass is now used. Its weight is
one-third of that of brass und its price
is the same.
To Cut the “Excclalor" Diamond.
A syndicate has been formed at Am
sterdam which will bear the great ex
pense and risk attending the cutting
,f what is the largest diamond known
-tiie Excelsior. The Excelsior was
found at the Jugersfontein mines,
South Africa, in 1893. It is the size of
a lien’s egg, and weighs in Its present
raw state 970 karats, which ta nearly
twice as much ns the Kohiuoor weighed
before it was reduced to its present
size.
Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in groat quantity is
constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption
Cough and Colds to be nneqnaled. A
recent expression from T. J. McFarland

writes; "I had Bronchitis for three
years and doctored all the time with
