a story of what happened to a head of
buffaloes a's they were migrating south.
ward. The herd numbered 2,500 head,
s>ad lead been driven out of the lliilk
River country by file Indian hunters
belonging to Bitting Bull's. band.
When they reached the river they ven-
tured upon the ice with their oustom-
r t'y ermadenee, coming upon it with a
solid front, and begiuiog the crossing
t with closed r t11ks. The stream at this
point is verl{y deep. When the front
lila, which Ar as stretched out a quarter
Of a mile in let gth, had nearly reached
the opposite shore, the ice suddenly
gave way under thein. Some trap-
pers who were rye -witnesses of the
score eaitl it seemed as if a trench had
berm opened in the ice the whole length
of the column. Some four or five hun-
dred animals tumbled into the opening
all in a 11 eap. Others fell in on top of
them and sans: ont of sight in a twink-
line. By this time the jos was break•
ing under the still advancing herd. The
trappers say that in a minute the whole
body of btiffaloes were precipitated in-
to the river. 'They wore wedged in ss
t'iicicly that they could do nothing but
struggle for a second and then disap-
pear beneath the cakes of ice of the
swift current. Not a beast in all that
mighty herd tried to escape, but in
a solid phalanx they marched to their
fatal bath in the "Big ,Muddy." In a
Initiate from the time the first ice
bloke Int a buffalo's head or tail was
to be seen.
Possibly occurrences of this sort, iu
ancient tertiary times, helped to form
the remarkable deposits of bone
found ie. the old lake beds of the great
"West and elsewhere. In these daposits
the earth is litearly crowded with bones,
scmetit$es chiefly of one type, some-
times comprising many distinct species.
In the latter case the victims were pro-
bably swept .sway by sudden flood,
their remains mingling confusedly in
quite lttsins.

A day or two ago, says the FreePres,

She was so sorry that his mother

Two days later, the boy called again,
having the same identical rack under
bis arm, and lie looked the lady straight

A well known clergyman was cro s-
sing Lake Erie some years ago upon
one of the Lake steamers, and seeing a
small lad at the wheel steerine; the
vessel, accosted hien as follows:
"fly son, you appear to be a small
boy to steer so large a boat."
"Yes, sir," was the reply; " but you.
see I do it though."
"Do you think you under stand your
business, my BOIL 2"
"Yes, sir, I think I do."
"Can you bcx a cceerass 2"
"Yes, sir."
"Let nee see you."
The boy did RR requot tcd, when the
minister remarked.
"Well, really, you eau do it! Can
you box it backwards?
"Yes, sir."
The boy again diel as requested. and
the person said,
"I declare, my son, you seem to un-
derstand ycur business."
The boy then took his turn at ques-
tion asking, beginning,
"Pray sir, what night your business
be?"
{'jI am a minister of the gosple.":
"DJ you understand your business 2"
" I think I do, my son."
"Can you say the Lord's prayer ?"
"Yes."
"Say it."
Tuo clergyman diel so, repeating the
words in a very solemn manner, ae
though trying to masse au impres-
sion on the boy.
"Well really," said the boy, on its
conclusion, "you really do know it,
don't you 2 Now, let mo hear you say
it backwards."
"Oh, I can't do such a thing as that.
Of course
"You esn't do it eh ?" returnedThe
boy. "Well then, yoti. see, I under•
stand my business much better than
you do yours."
The clergyman acknowledged him.

WHY AND WHEN LA11PS EX-
PLODE.
All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapor of gas which col-
lects above the oil. When full of• oil,
of Course the lamp contains no gas,
but immediately on lighting the lamp,
consumption of oil begins, soon leav-
ing a space for gas, which commences
touform as the lamp warms up, and, af-
after burning a short time, sufficient
gas will accumulate to make an ox
plosion. The gas in a lamp will ex-
plode only when ignited. In this re-
spect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or
inferior oil is always the most danger.
ens, The following shows that many
things may occur to cause the flame to
pass dowii the wick and explode the
lamp :-
1. A lamp may be standing in a
table or mantel, and a slight puff of
air from the open window, or sudden
opening of a door, may cause an explo-
cion.
2. It may be taken up quickly from
a table or mantel and instantly ex-
plode.
3. If taken into an entry where
there is a strong draught from the doors
an explosion is likely to ensue. 4.. if
taken up a flight stairs, orraieed quick-
ly to place it on the mantel, it is like-
ly to explode. Ia all these cases the
mischief is done by the air movement -
either by suddenly checking the draught
or forcing the air down the chimney
against the flame. 5. Blowing down
the chimney to extinuisb the light, is
a frequent cause of explosion. 6.
Lamp explosions have been Caused by
using a chimney broken at the top, or
one that has a piece broken out,
whereby the draught lis variable and
the flume unsteady. 7 Sometimes a
thongletlese person puts a small•sized.
wick in a large burner,. thus leaving a
considerable space along •tile edge of the
wick. B. An old burner, with its air
c'l•.rarrgette clogged up, 'rinieh by right
shoal'd'he thrown away, is sometimes
ontinued in use, and the final result is
xploeion.
