Quito a sensation has been caused among
roologlsts by tho account of a hitherto un

circulated through tho German press. The
fact that the nrrlval was from a Euroonti
country, and not from some distant part of

The animal illustrated in our cut mid caus

Tho creature of remnrknbly strong build, Is
smaller than tho common goat, nnd is char
acterized by ii coat of dark brown, marked
with black bauds. His sinewy legs uro not
unlike tboso of tho chamois. The assertion
thnt this wild goat cttacked tho hunter and
threw him into a rocky ravine soenu per

Betting MuiCtlng at Right Angles.
A correspondent In Snw Mill Gazotto tells
his plan of setting shafting nt right angles
and so gaining
more bolt jiower
than can bo got in
any other way.
If 0110 shaft is bo
low the other (no
matter what size
tho pulloysarc) and
If tho driver is on
top, he takes a
plumb lino, puts it
on tho center of tho
rim of tho pulloy,
as in tho illustra
tion, lets it drop
down, and sots the
lower pulley so
that tho rim
touches tho lino nt
its center. That
makes a straight
lino for that side of
tho belt, but It has
a quarter twist.
The driver must
run so as to draw
from that side.
Then put an Idler
under tho slack sldo
of tho belt to carry
that port of tho
belt back so thnt it
will run on tho
lower nullev. If
tho driver is Ik-Iow, Brumim at iiiout
so that you draw anoi.es.
from the straight sido of the belt, It will not
matter if the Idler is well made and set in
square w 1th tho lelt (not square with the
other pulleys). Indeed, it will work bettor
than an., straight belts may run.

Congress has lieen asked for an appropria

work of damming up tho canyons of tho Rocky

to bo u;cd iu tho Irrigation of nrid lauds, nnd
preventing tho disastrous floods on thu lower
Mississippi. Tho area of arid laud in the
United States is about 1,300,000 square miles;
and Maj. Powell, director of tho uutioual
survey, estimates thnt at least 160,000 squaro
miles of this might bo reclaimed a territory
exceeding in extent one-half of nil tho land
now cultivated in tho United States. Tho
plan Is to build dams across all tho canyons In
the mountains, largo enough nnd strong
enough to hold back tho Hoods from heavy
