The human brain las been photographed. Dr. Carleton Simon of 114 East Fifty-sixth street exhibits a picture of his own brain , obtained from a process In which the cathode rays are not a factor. He tiaa been nearly tlireo years In completing bis experiments.

Dy the forma- Ion of ) an Ice bridge or dam extending from Schlosser's dock on the American bank , about talt way across the river , the water was almost entirely diverted to the Canadian alls. This morning It was possible for a I mo for a man with a plank to have walked rom the mainland to Goat Island .without wetting his feet , and , Indeed , to walk be- ween all the Islands Indde of Goat Island. At 11 o'clock the water was BO low that a nan In knee boots could have walked across ho brink of the fallu from Prospect point to Scat Island. Don't Invite disappointment t > y experiment- eg.

CATTI.El It wns nnothcr day of ex- trcmsly" light cattle rcgelpts , only 829 head being received , ns nghdut 9S3 yesterday nnd 064 on Thursday of last week. There were hardly enough cnttlo here to go around among the buyers , mill as everyone wanted a few head , the trade was soon over. The feeling on the market was better , and the trade ns a , whole Was more satisfactory from n seller's point of view. Only nbout n dozen loads of fat Htcer were on sale , nr.d the buyers picked up all that were desirable in Rt/od season , paying tully steady prices. The best cnttlu here were only fairish stuIT , and the sales were mostly at J3.5003.70. Matchers' stock was again In very light supply , only about ten loads of row * nml holfcre being oftored for wile.- The demand was very urgent , and everything sold on the Jump , nnd at prices fully We higher than ye tenlay. The liens were practically cleared of that kind of cattle before 0 o'clock. Snippets nre all talking of the rcarclly of butchers' stock In the country and the size of the receipts would seem to bear out their assertions. Full loads of Btockcrs nnd feeders were hard to nnd , the supplyconsisting mostly of odds nnd ends , n piece of a load here and ihere. The market did not show any material change In the matter of values. The demand Is light , but with so few com ing It has been sufllclcnt to hold prices steady.

John P Harmons , a tramp , BO years of age , who by his own confession recovered over $20,00' ' that was hidden by train robbers a yea ago , Is locked up In the Jail in this city for months ho has been living In San Francisco on the fat of the land , on the prcceeds of money taken from the Overlain express near Sacramento by Jack Brady ant Drowning over a year ago. The prisoner has lurned over to the police $2,000 which he had In the German Savings bank Ir San Francisco , $5,900 In securities , a diamond ring and a diamond collar button. Harmons found the money hidden under a clump of bushes near Sacramento , where , the robbers who held up the train hat burled It. It Is known that the robbers ob tained over $60,000 from Wells , Fargo S. Co. , but Hfcrmcna did not find all the plunder. He says he obtained only $20,000 but It Is believed that these figures arc rather under the exact amount. This con clusion Is based on the fact that when Drady , one of the bandits , confessed urn took the officers to the place where the money was burled , only $6,000 was found. Harrncns had evidently- taken the rest ol the treasure before the officers arrived. Harmens was arrested In San Francisco Saturday and brought to this city last , night In appearance he isa typical tramp Among Ills' friends "he Is , known as ' 'Dutcl Charley. " After he found the money ho went to San Francises , where he loaned n great deal to responsible business men. Hut he was not miserly , as It Is said that he lived a life of luxury seldom dreamed ol by the average tramp. He bought the most elegant clothes for himself , making a trip to New York for the purpose , and the tramp was transformed Into a regular fashion plate. FIHH ItAGED IX GUAYAQUIL.
