Tho Silver City (Mont.) correspond
ent of tho Cincinnati Eii'uirsr sends
the following remarkable tale:
There mountains are as rich i:i ad
ventures ns they an in quartz-ruck and
big bowlders, ho writ. hice ia awhile
one of the first i-i heard of beyond Its
iinmediato participants jtts.t as the
quartz now and then shows up a silver
vein to the persistent inquisitive miner.
Some of these have been duly chroni

which have happened, even within
easy reporlorial reach, have been
heard of by me. A few days ago I lank

Indians Ion; before he came up into
the mountains ten years ao. dropped
into our little mining camp, casually.
as it wen. The old man is garrulous,
after he has taken on about a half a
dozen throo-tinger dose of linurbou.
and ho told half a dozen beautifully
tinted stories of life in the mountain..
That is, the stories were roM-colored
a man with strong imagination and a
slight, prejudice :igaitir.t Hank miglit
say they were "lurid." All of them
were highly entertaining. Fortunately
ho had collateral evidence of the truth
of sotno of them, though no one ever
disputed any .statement by Hank Slicer
unless Hank was cither asleep or out
of sight and tolerably certain not to re
turn for some time. One of his stories
I shall give. Its a pitv it cannot be
given verbatim and with all the orna
ments of adjective and expletive, gest
ure and facial contortion with which
it was duly embellished by the old
man. Hut to do so would require a
special font of type with several new
characters. Stripped of all disguises
the story is about as follows:
Slicer has spent the summer ramped
on a spur of the mountains, thirty or
forty miles from here, known a Ilig
Tree Mountain. This spur is a wide
one. and has many lovely little valleys
and chnrinitig nooks. Its chief chnnu
in old Hank's eyes, however, was the
fact that its valleys and glen are the
chosen feeding ground of the deer, and
that its many pellucid si reams are
chock-full of the finest trout. With
Hank was an old Indian, a half-breed.
who. of course, took along his squaw
and her incumbrance.-, a rather briglft.
copper-colored girl of fourteen or fif
teen, three or four smaller fry. their
number, ages and sc.-c being quite im
material. "Untitling Antelope" was
his tribal name, though Hank always
culled him "Half-breed Jim" when re
ferring to him in tnix-d society of
which the latter was not a part. The
two had kuotvn each other and camped
together off and on for a score or more
of years. This summer they must have
had a particularly royal and hilarious
time, with the squaw to do their cook
ing, the kids to do the chores, venison
uteaks running free and thick in their
outdoor pantry, and trout fairly crowd
ing around every hook that was thrown
into tho streams. Such a statu of
affairs means beatitude itself to an
Indian family and an old Rocky Moun
tain hunter, and that it was enjoyed
oes without saying.
One day, just about tho time of our
warmest weather here, when the black
berries in the scattered brier patches
were luxuriantly ripe, old Hank bud
lazily strolled out with his gun and
dog, ready for any thing which might
cross his path. Nothing showed up.
however the day was an exceedingly
sultry one ia August and the old nun
had turned his face toward camp, and
was within two Miles of it. when he
came out upon a little opening on a
southern exposure that was fairly well
net in blackberry bushes, now bending
under loads of ripe berries. They were
tempting, and the old fellow leisurely
browsed along the edge of the patch
for some distance, picking only the
biggest and ripest berries as he went.
His dog had tnally made a lazy excur
sion a little further down the hill to
the right, aosiag about in a perfunctory
way and keening half an eye on his
master as he slowly moved along.
The day was as calm as a Sabbath in
Eden; the heat was just enough to be
relaxing; the air was soft and resinous
aadslumberprorokiag. The old man
moved slower and more and more felt
an iaclinattoa to lie down and take a
nap. He cast a glance ahead and saw
that ai the iurthec aide of the brier
mUeb was a yawaiag canyon, perhaps
ft ve hundred feet deep, that seamed the

It was too late. The iirl did try to

angry b'a-t behind lier. wne blood

who-e hot breath blew out thread of
thick spume that almost reached h"i.
She was then but a steo from the edge
of th pr-cipice. With a gesture of
do-pair the girl threw up her arm- a
sji plunged forward, and leaping
high into the air. sh j cleared the
brink and disappeared into the yawn
ing depths of the dark canyon with a
wild shriek that fairly made the
hunter's blood rm thick with cold
horror. H" was near enough to hear

Just b'hind th b,ar came two cubs
waddling atonif comically enough.
every now and th"it making the funny
little yelp that had at first be-n heard.
Tln sight of them recalled the old man
to himsctf. lp went hi. rill., and he
was just pulling tile trigger uhen he
remembered that if he .shot the bir
the carcass miM fall over into the
canyon and be lo-t. With a muttered
curse, for the sijrht of poor P.ipita's
death had m-ule him bloodthirsty, he
lowered the gun. to await the moment
when the bcir should turn around.
Ittst th n occurred one of those un
expected thing.- for which neither man
nor bear is ever prepared. .A mountain
oak grew near where the bear stood
and a little back from the precipice. A
great limb stretched out toward the
canton, and from it descended by a
tremendous ypriuga long, dark animal,
lithe and sin-wy. which lit full upon
tlie shoulders of the unconscious bear
with a thud. The shock was ;i heavy
one. and the re-ult mu-t have been al
most as great a surprise to the big
mountain lion for such the newcomer
was -as to the b-'ar. Tlie impetus car
ried both animals over the brink, and
at nearly the e.caet spot where the girl
had disappeared a few seconds liefore.
An instant biter the sounds of a terri
ble conrtiet rose from the depths into
which they Isad plunged, mingled with
the hotrse growls of the bear and the
wild, e.ir-piercing cries of the moun
tain lion.
Hank ran to tho spot and peered
over. As he did so the cubs slunk
away into the bushes, and for once the
veteran hunter didn't so much as look
after a pair of fine voting bears. What
he saw below htm he can best tell him
self: "I never seed such a sight u my

ARTIFICIAL COLO-AIR.
liitii.i- to llr CiMtto'l In summer by Frost
That riiinn Tlirtiusli i'ir.
Th" mamtfacture of cold is likely to
become n larg industry. Karlier ef
forts in the production tif cohl were
toward the manufacture of ice. letter
improvements were in the line of cool-
"i-'-roocH. wliere products could be
' stored without the Use of ice. Th: ?
metiiod hits been in successful ooer.i-
tion
.or
.omo time in large paukitig-
Iiotisi's. It is less trouolesome anil less
j
vpiisive than ice. but the proems in
volves the use of brine with ammonia
and a large outlay of mouet for a plant.
This process is elbctive only in largo
concerns, and is limited to the produc
tion of moderately cold air. with the
objectionable feature of dampness.
The newest process of refrigerating
produces a dry. cold air that carries
tlie thermometer many degrees below
freeing point, and this degree of cold
can be produced so cheaply und i.s so
thoroughly under control that the
world is promised the luxury of frost
as cheap as heat or light. The concern
in Chicago which controls this proeo-s
is located on the West Side in a pre
tentious building. In one room they
distill the ammonia, reducing tho re
fuse product from th" gas house to a
pure liquid. This ammonia, known in
the trade as anhydrous ammonia, ilnws
in pipes to the cooliug-ro m.. This
pipe outers the rooms and la distrib
uted about the sides like ordinary
steam pip"s. The liquid ammonia is
prevented front entering the pipes in
the rooms, but through a faucet the
gus or vapor which rises from the
liquid ammonia passes into the pipes in
the room. This vapor is what pro
duces cold, and the degree desired is
regulated by the amount of vapor that
is allowed to pass through the pipes.
The gas or vapor returns to the distil-
liug-room with its freezing properties
exhausted, and is made again into an
hydrous ammonia, and is again used
for freezing put'iuise.
Fruits are stored in a room cooled to
the temperature of forty degrees.
Meats for use in the near future are in
rooms a little cooler, and game and
delicate fishes for winter use are in the
coldest room. In this department tho
thermometer registers twenty degrees
below zero, and the game birds and
fishes are frozen as hard and dry as it
would be possible to freeze them in the
dry cold air outdoors.
The practical uses to which this
method may be put do not end with
cooling and freezizg rooms in a large
establishment, for this pure liquid
ammonia maybe drawn oo and carried
to a residence in a receptacle some
thing like a soda fountain, and from
this the gas can be forced through a
pipe In a refrigerator and make that
storehouse as cold as may be desired.
So far the process has not been used
by families to any extent, but the pro
duction of the liquid ammonia is a mat
ter of such trifling cost that a raid
on the good housewife's kitchen
is contemplated, and the company
promise that the family refrigerator
shall be furnished with dry, cold air
cheaper than ice and serve the pur
pose better. Instead of the daily call
of the icemaa the cold air fellow wilt
come around ouee in eight or tea days
with his little tank of frost-producer,
and after connecting it with the refrig
erator pipe carry away with him the
old tank of exhausted ammonia.
It is still further proposed to extend
the usefulness of this process by mak
ing it a means of cooling residences.
Pipes may be laid in the streets just as
gas pipes are now laid, and as the
liquid ammonia will not frees it may
be run into a residence just as gas is.
and during the warm weather, instead
of sweltering in a hot room the hoase
Thelder may turn a faucet and let the
ammonia vapor circulate through the
pipes around the ceiling of the room.

audible. Light Ls the effect produced n lh ,urrln donm hy Mr.
onus when wavesof Ilghtstnke on s K e fouaJ work ,

of millions of vibrations of either ,t . .. . , .. ,. ,:,... v-.,..
strike the retina in a second, they pro
duce red. and as the number increases
the color passes into orange, thea yel
low, green, blue and violet. But be
tween forty thousand vibrations in a
second and four hundred million of
millions we have no organ of sense
capable of receiving the impression.
Yet between these limits any numbe.
of sensations may exist. We have fivj
senses, and sometimes fancy that ao
others are possible. But it is obvious
that we can not measure the infinite by
our own narrow limitations.
Moreover, looking at the question
from the other side, we find in animals
complex organs of sense, richly sup
plied with nerves, but the function of
which we are as yet powerleas to ex
plain. There may be fifty other eae
as different from ours as aouad is from
sight: and even within the boundaries
of our own senses there may be eadless
sounds which we can not hear, aad col
ors aa different as red from green, of
which we have no ooaceptioa. These
aad a thousand other questioes remain
far solution. The familiar world which
nrrouads us may be a totally different
place to ether aaimala Te them it o&ay
he full of nsusic which we caa not hear,
of color which we caa aot see. of sea
sniii which we caa not conceive.
