Of course you don't believe it, I didn't belie re H either, till 1 aaw 'em play. How did they da it? -last like any other players, with the exoeption that they used a ball specially prepared for the occaaion. Through this baseball there wu a bole, and in the hole there waa a little conoern like that which yon see in a hirmonica. On the Home plat waa a little ball, which the umpire rang by pulling a string just before the pitcher fired a ball. Judging on the position of the base by the sound ot ih: bell, the pitcher put the ball right where it ought to be. "As the ball sailed toward the bitamao the air rushing through the bole in it played a little tone, and it was by this sound that the batsman mode his strike. It was the same with the fielders. Wbererer the ball wsnt tt wu singing its little tone, and this sound was all the payer had to judge by. Handle the ball? Well, I should aay they could. They played a fine game, and I tell yon that the mnsio of the ball whizzing and soar ing about the field, and those blind fel lows caUhiog and throw iog it just as if they could see, made a scene never to be forgotten. The members of these blind nines were all inmates of a Dakota Blind asylum, but if they can make proper ar rangements they are going on the road as an exhibition. They'll draw im mense crowds, too." Chicago Mail. Evidence is now coming to light that throws an entirely different aspect on the Carlin murder, for such it certainly was. It now appears that Griffith knocked Kepplar down he walked back ward and forward in front of the pros trate man giving htm an occasional kick. While doing this he told all bystanders outside the building not to come in but to stay where they were. In this man ner he abused hia poor helpless victim until death relieved him of hia misery. If this evidence is correct some man who had enough courage about him to handle a loaded shotgun should have procured one and either compelled him to desist or riddled him with it Public feeling is very high in Carlin over the matter and lynching was seriously talked of. Both men have families and Kepplar leaves hia wife and children in destitute circumstances. Reno Journal. A San Jose girl is very indignant be cause in reply to her query, "what is suitable for a graduation speech? we recommended a percale dress With the venal flounces, and ft fuchn or two slung on where they would do the most good. The dear creature now cays that she re ferred to her essay, and wants ns to choose between, J' What Shall We Do With Our Boys," "Life's Aims, and "Does Portection Protect?" In regard to the first, we should say that H was just as well to wait until the boys arrived before beginning to prance around the floor in the middle of the night in full drees. The second is all right, but "Do Bustles Bust, would be more suitable for a girt than the third. Ex. A father never thinks his ten-year-old son is stronger than a horse until be employs him to turn the grind stone to sharpen the old ax that is about as sharp at one end as at the other. The old man bears on nutil the lad's eyes hang out and his trowser buckle flies off, and just before he bursts a blood vessel, his father encourage him with the re mark t "Does it turn hard? Thousands of boys have run awsy from home and became pirates and desperadoes in order to esoape a second seige at the grind stone. Texas Siftings. The London correspondent of the New York Sun says: ''"At a distinguished occasien in London laat week Miss Emma Nevada, the famous artiate, was present. 89 was Buffalo Bill. An English lady was introduced to Buffalo Bill and tlfen to Mist Nevada. - She declared herself pleased with Miss Nevada, and aked her how long she bad been with Buffalo Bill's show and what part of the frontier ahe was bora on. Miss Nevada was too as tonished to reply. ' President Cleveland has quite capti vated Miss Phoebe Cousins. She says: X like to talk with him; he Is so unas suming that one feels perfectly at ease in hi presence. Be baa a fine blue eye, which has such a kindly expression when tie looks at you; but what I admire must se his soft, weU-modulated voice. Ex. ttCIKNTlMO hIUKLLA.NY. M. Leon EsquHIs has perfected a man velout invention in electricity and pho tography. By -speaking into ft telephone transmitter, which consists of a highly polished diaphragm, reflecting a ray of light, this ray of light is att into vi bration, and. photqgiaph is made of it on a traveling band of sensitised pajier. If the image of this photographic tracing be projected by means of an electric arc or ox y hydrogen light upon a selenium receiver, the original speech is then heard. It is evident that there is no limit to the development of this peculiar combination of methods 1 Dr. Davenport, the analyst of the Massachusetts State Board of Health, makes some returns that will be of in terest to sli. Out of twenty advertised cures for the opium habit, all but one contained opium. A marvelous cure ''doable chloride of gold!" A large number of "temperance drinks" were also examined. All contained alcohol and one as high ai 44 3 per cent. The majority contained over 20 per cent. A preparation analyzed 41.6 per cent was claimed by a manufacturer "to be purely vegetable extract.' An English gardener states that the roots of trees may be prevented from en tering between the joints of drain tiles by using coal tar. In using it mix it with sawdust to the consistency of or dinary building mortar. A layer of this should be spread on the bottom of the drain; on this set the drain-pipes and then cover all over with tar mortar. If the work be carefully performed and the mortar applied in sufficient quantity say an inch and a half thick all round success may be guaranteed. Dr. Chapman says in the Medical and Surgical Reporter, that nine-tenths of the wild animals in confinement are sub ject to heart disease, bnt the most com mon and fatal is rheumatism.'. Monkeys and baboons generally die from bronchial affections and heart disease; felines, such lions, tigers, leopards, etc., from disen- tery and heart disease; deer, antelopes, etc., suffer most from disentery and heart disease; while the canine tribe, such as wolves dingoes, foxes, etc., bear confinement very little, j u t M. Fremy has read a paper at the French Academy of Science describing the successful researches made by him, with M, Verneuti's assistance, for ob taining artificial rubies. By letting alu mina dissolve in fluoride of calcium hs obtained crystals of slumiua-that is tp say perfect rubies defy iug the closest scrutiny, and even higher in value than natural stones, They can be made of large size. A Chinaman is said to have discovered that cast-off horseshoes make a good cutler's steel. The wrought iron on the shoes having been constantly ham mered acquires the hardness of steel. It is also aupp'ised that the animal heat of the hoof has something to do with it. The metal is said to be good for the manufacture of knives and sword blades. A Silt Lake dupatch says: The death is announced of John Taylor, President of the Mormon Church, who died on the 27th inst., at 8 o'clock, but the place i not given. He was 79 years old, joined the Mormon Church in 1837, and was made one of the 12 apostles in 1833. He was a missionary for 20 years and editor of various Church papers end publications. He embraced polygamy among the first. and denied its practice after bung in it for years. He was President of the 12 when Brignam Young died, and became President of the Church in 1830. He waa indicted for unlawful cohabitation early in 1885 and went into hiding in February of that year, aad has not shown up in public since. George Q. Cannon has & bitter article in the Church organ, chirgiog Taylor's blood to the perseotors who have hounded htm to bis death.- Eureks Sentinel. ' " - A certain disciple of Blackstone was oat in the neighborhood south of Eureka on Friday last, when hs hsppened to see a badger, which he tracked to his hole. Yesterday morning he started out with Ntok Waldvogle to dig out the critter. They armed themselves with a piok and shovel and started out for the bole. The disciple claims that he dug out the ani mal, and, with a stroke of the pick or shovel, he does not know which, kilted it. He says the animal was three feet long, and weighed about 00 pounds, and that Waldvogle took the skin to his ranch to out it up for whiplashes. While he was telling his story, a gentle. man asked him what wai the color of the badger. He answered that it was grey, but was astonished when he waa told that badgers in this country are ail striped.

Some men do not csre who own the earth to long as they get their fu.lnes. The earth is 500,000,000 years of agf according to Professor Proctor, but fche doesn't look it to me. The Dnke of Ar. yyll maintains thtt the is 10,000,000 years old hut August, but what dots au ordinary duke knuw about these thing? So far aa I am concerned I will put Proc tor's memory against that of any low. priced duke that I have ever sen, Newton claimed that the eat tb would gradually dry up and become porous, and that water would at last become a curi osity. Many believe this and are rapid ly preparing their systems by a rigid course of treatment, so that thoy can live for years without the use of water internally or externally. Other scientists w ho have sat up nights to monkey with the solar system, and thereby shattered their solar cysteine, claim that the earth is gett ng top-heavy at the north pole, and that one of these daya while we are thinking of something else, the great wtiglit tf accumulated ice, auow, and the vast accumulation of second-band artic relief expeditions, will jerk the earth out of its present position wirb so much spoutaniety, aud in such an extremely forthwith mauner, that : many people will be permanently stra- j bismusscJ, and much brie a -brae will be for sale at a great sacrifice. This may or i may not be true. I have Dot been up in the arctic regions to investigate its truth or falsity, though there seems to be a growing sentiment throughout the coun-1 try in favor of my going. A great many ! people during the past year have written me and given their consent. If I could take about twenty, good picked men and go up there for the sum mer, instead of bringing hack tweuty picked men, I wouldn't mind the trip, and I feel that we really ought to have a larger colony on ico in that region thao we now have. The earth is composed of land and water. Some of the water has large chunks of ice in it The earth revolves around its own axle once in twenty-four hours, though it seems to revolve faster than that and to wobble a good deal during the holidays. Nothing t cklas the earth more than to confuse a man when he is coming home lite at night, and then rise up suddenly and hit him ic the bsck with a town lot. People who think there is no fun or relaxation among the heavenly bodies certainly hsve not studied their habits. The earth is about half way between Mercury and Saturn, in the matter of density. Mercury is about of the spe cific gravity of iron, while that of Saturn corresponds with that of cork in the mat ter of solidity, yet it i amply firm for all practical purpose. A negro who fell out of the tower of a twelve-story build iog while trying to clean the upper win dow by di inking a quart of alcohol, and then breathing hard on the glass, says that he regards the earth as perfectly solid and safe to do bus iu ess on for years to come. He claims that those who maintain that the earth's crust is only 2,500 miles in thickness, have not thoroughly tested the matter by a system of practical experiments. Thr poles of the earth are merely im aginary. I hate to print this statement in a large paper in such a way as to in jurs the reputation of great writers on thi subject, who still cling to the theory that the earth revolves upon large polen, and that the aurora bireali i but the reflection from a hot 0 x at the N irth Pole, bat I am here to tell the truth, and if my readers think it disagreeable to read the truth, whatmuxt toy anguiah be to have to tell it? The mean dia meter of the earth is 7,016 Eoulish sts- tuie miles, but the actual diameter from Dole to tmle is a stilt meaner diameter. beina 7 8!f. mites, while the emuiortal diameter is mites. The tong and patient struggle or our earnest and tireless geogrnphen and savants in past years in order to obtain these fiuures and have them exact, few can fully real is.
