A Champion Lightweight Remarkable in many ways, the “tuli- gnat” of the far West is most curiou- t‘or its almost total lack of weight. The little insect has a nearly microscopic- body but a relatively huge spread of wing, which gives it the apare-nt size of a mosquito. . In some parts of California “tulc nuts” swarm so densely about burn- ,ug lamps that several times during an n-ening the dead must be cleared away to give the light a chance. In brightly illumined stores the goats are verit- ible pests, and it was in a‘ Lake Coun- ty (0:11.) drugstore that a curious ex- periment was recently made.

Deer and such large - game suffer greatly in the Alps: from the ava- lanches. When everything which they are accustomed to seek for no-ur-' ishment is covered several feet under snow, hunger adds its pangs to those of cold. Some Samaritans of the for est are in the habit of scattering food about in more sheltered places. This, however, cannot be of great service, - and thousands of deer perish annual- ly from hunger. In the Alps the ava- lanche is the third danger which con- fronts the Wild game,'especially in the springtime. A very little thing, as a stone, a snowball, the falling branch of a tree, may precipitate them. In an instant a mass of snow and ice weigh- ing ton-s starts down from the heights with overwhelming force. Usually a sure. instinct keeps the deer. out of their path, but they are not infre- quently surprised. Often through the peculiar rotary motion at the sides of the snowslide, and the consequent churning up of materials, the game is landed at the foot of the mountain in such a position that a rescue is pos sibl-e. This is well known to the for- esters. .After an avalanche they has- ten to the rescue. It is necessary to accomplish the work in great haste. \Vherever there is a. visible trace of game the snow is eagerly shoveled away, and very often an imprisoned deer is brought to light. Frequently the animals are half dead, and rude surgical aid must be given to broken limbs—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Alaska’s Boiling Springs. Dr. Spencer Harris of Circle City, Alaska, reports the discovery of im- mense boiling sulphur springs near the arctic circle, seventy miles from Cir- cle City. The discovery was made by a party of gold miners, who were look ing for claims. At the time the dis- covery was made the thermometer registered 46 degrees below zero. Sur- rounding the spring's are immense de- posits of solid brimstoue, and in the same vicinity a mastodon tooth, per- fectly preserved and weighing four- teen pounds, has been found. The en- amel on the tooth has not been broken and is perfect in every way. The boil- ing sulphur water bubbles up out of the ground, furnishing warmth to those who approach near it. All about the springs the ground is frozen, and never thaws under the covering of Alaska moss, even during the summer timeI—Tacoma Correspondence St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. Novel Lamp \Vick. A remarkable lamp wick has been invented, which is made entirely of clay. It is preforated by very minute holes, through which the oil passes up- ward through the action of capillarity. This wick, needless to state, does not need to be trimmed, nor does the oil. which has a perfect passage upward, emit any odor. The inventor says that its consumption .of oil is but one-third that of the cotton wick, while produc4 'ing the same amount of light.—Chl-’ cugo Inter-Ocean. - " ' Beaten. . “Those traders look very weather- beat-en.” I ' “An optical illusion, I fancy,” he re. joined. “They are pretty hard to beat.” There was a suggestion of pique "in his manner, and he nervously fingered the brass watch he had‘ taken in bar- ter for three and a half tons of ivory and two bushels of gold dust—De- troit Journal. , . “00-00-04 The other savage frowned gloomily.

A Milk Can for a Bicycle. A Michigan man designed a milk can of such form that a milkman with not too many customers can use a bicycle to make his rounds. The can, which is flat, is made just the size of the frame of the bicycle, so that it fits ex- actly, and is fii‘Stened to the tubing with straps. A faucet at the bottom is provided to draw out the milk.— New York Tribune. The Way 1:) Live. . Be a lamp in the chamber if you can- ; not be a star in the sky.
