PILLAR MOUNTAIN.
A. Remarkable Freak of Baealtio
Formation in Nevada.
That celebrated mineral ledge, tho
Comstock lodo, is located in a moun
tain region which is not only striking
ly picturesque, but which contains
many mineralogical and geological
curiosities, among them what is local
ly known as Pillar mountain. It is
not a mountain at all, but a curious
basaltic mound, rising from a compara
tively flat elevated tableland on the
west slope of Mount Davidson, the
towering peak which frowns down
' upon Virginia. The mound, which is
oblong in shape, and perhaps three
hundred yards in length by fifty in
width, is composed of massive basalt
pillars, which, generally speaking,
stand perpendicularly on their bases in
a compact, symmetrical body. At tirst
glance it looks all the world like a
gigantic bunch of asparagus.
The Giant's Causeway in Ireland, the
Palisadeavm the Hudson and Fingal's
Cave on tho Island of Staffa, off the
coast of Scotland, arc famous for their
basaltic columns. Pillar mountain
possesses the same geological marvels.
Its ponderous columns are just as won
derful to behold and as striking in tho
inexplicable peculiarity of their forma
tion.
Pillar mountain is only a few miles
from Virginia, but few Comstookers
know of its existence, and fewer still
arc acquainted with its strange char
acteristics. This is probably due to
the fact that it is out of the way some
what, and off the lines of travel to
and from Virginia. A good road leads
ulmost to tho spot where its columns
rear their heads, and a drive of an
hour will bring the curious to it. The
road by which it is reached leaves Vir
ginia at the divide—that quarter of
tho city which joins Gold llill—and
winds southward along the eastern
slopes of the hills abutting against
Mount Davidson.
The irregular cluster of mountuins
within which the mining camps of Vir
ginia and Gold Hill arc situated is com
posed of foothills of tho Sierra Nevada
range, projected at an angle to the
south and then spreading to the east.
On the west and south the cluster is
. encircled by a curving valley which
divides it from the mother range. The
upper half of this is known as Washoo
valley and tho lower as Eagle valley.
On the east the group is scparuted from
the foothills of the Toyabeo range by
the Carson river, which flows eastward
through Eagle valley and winds to the'
north along its eastern base, finally
swinging sharply to the east again
when it gets abreast of Virginia. After
tho river turns to tho east at the
latter point it crosses the southern
nock of a white, flat, gleaming stretch
of sand known as the Twenty-Six-
Mile desert, whose shimmering bosom
extends to tho north till it disappeurs
beyond tho northeast extremity of the
cluster. It will be seen by the foro
going description that these moun
tains aro isolated from .their neighbors
on all sides but the north. High in the
heart of them are Virginia and Gold
llill, tho former clinging to the east
side of Mount Davidson in a cup-shaped
depression and the latter strung along
the upper end of Gold canyon, which
strikes off from the mountain in a
southeasterly direction and twists and
turns until it reaches tho Carson river.
Tho road to Pillar mountain passes
under the brow of a peak, surmounted
by a tower-liko mass of stone. The
* mural monument on the peak is known
locally as Suicide rock, and history at
taches to it a very tragic episode which
occurred in the early days. It was In
the 'COs or tho '7os, perhaps, history is
not exact, that three miners were liv
ing together in a cabin in Gold canyon.
They had a claim among them, so tho
story goes, which yielded very gener
ously of dust, and in time they accumu
lated considerable of the yellow stuff.
One day they played cards for money,
and in a short time one of them had
nearly all of their combined wealth.
Toward the end of the game the other
two discovered that he had been cheat
ing and resented it with an angry pro
test, whereupon he drew his revolver
from his pocket, ruthlessly shot them
both, and fled from tho cabin. One of
them lived long enough to tell the
tale, and the population turned out en
masse to search for tho murderer.
They guarded all the trails from the
locality and searching parties scoured
the hills. lie had taken to the moun
tain side and he found his way to Sui
cide rock. From his eyrie on the rock
ho could hco the Country round, and ho
concluded that escape was impossible,
for, on the third day after the murder,
tho searchers heard a pistol shot and
saw a ring of blue smoke curl upward
from the rock, and upon Investigating
his hiding place they found his dead
body, with a bullet hole in his head.
He had killed himself rather than bo
taken alive, and tho tragedy gavo tho
rock its name.
The gradual ascent of the road as it
trends to the south finally brings it to
a saddleback on tho breastbone of the
mountains, over which it passes to the
wcrL On the west side of the moun
-4 ains the rood bends back on itself and
skirts their flanks till the rear of Mount
Davidson is reached; then it lifts to
the plateau upon which l'illar moun
tain is located. The plateau projects
from the mountain midway between
the base and summit of the latter. Its
surface is irregular, and the big bunch
of basalt shoots its ashen columns fifty
feet into the air from an earthen mound
on its highest spot. The busultic de
posit is in the shape of an ellipse, and
is very regular in its construction. It
has the appearance of having t>eon
thrust up through the earth by an in
ternal convulsion, and its gray pillars
contrast oddly with the surrounding
hills, which are sandy, overgrown with
sagebrush and dotted with an occasion
al scrubby pine. The blackened, gray
stones are radically different in aspect
and formation from the ledges of quartz
and granite which come to the surface
in broken seams hero and there.
In the main the basaltic columns
stand side by side so elosely that at a
distance the mound, from some points,
looks like a mass of solid stone marked
from base to apex with regular paral
lel lines. All the upright pillars, even
where occupying regular perpendicular
postures, are separated into segments
by cracks which traverse them hori
zontally. The segments are from six
to iiftccn feet in length, and the whole
segmented column approximates six
ty feet. As tho compact points
of the mound are approaehed the ex
terior columns are observed to incline
inward at tho top, which gives them
the semblance of strips of stone over
lying each other.
The mound has something of the ap
pearance of a great oblong amphi
theater, with crumbling walls where
the columns have broken away and
fallen outward to its base. At the
places where the columns are broken
they lie in confused masses or rear
their colossal heads singly at various
angles. It is at these places that the
ponderous nature and the symmetrical
proportions of the columns arc dis
played to the greatest advantage. They
nre principally hexagonal in shape, al
though many three-sided, four-sided
and five-sided examples are in evidence.
Some of tho broken and displaced col
umns standing upright, alone or in
groups, have the appcaranco of huge
monuments, and a man standing be
side them is dwarfed into insignifi
cance. Most of them weigh many tons.
The observer is chiefly impressed by
their massiveness and clean-cut sym
metry. They look as if they had been
carved by giants out of tho solid rock,
and it is difficult to conceive how na
ture could have molded them with such
regularity and precision.
It is now a generally accepted theory
of geologists that basalt is of volcanic
origin. It is composed of three dis
tinct elements; iron oxide, pyroxlno
and feldspar or some kindred composi
tion. When feldspar is a component it
is called feldspathic basalt; when that
element is replaced by an affinity it
takes the name of the affinity. Miner
als occur in basalt, as shown by analy
sis, but their presence is due to the per
colation of watfir through the basalt
after its formation. The doubt con
nected with the origin of basalt springs
from the water which analyses have
proven It to contain.
Somo geologists liavo claimed that if
it wero of volcanic origin the water
would have been expelled while it was
in a moltpn state in the course of tho
eruption which brought it to the sur
face. This view has been overruled,
however, by other students of geologic
conditions, who point out that steam
and hot water are often cast up by
volcanoes, and that basalt is sufileieift
ly compact to have resisted the ex
pansive force of the steam imprisoned
within it.
On the top of Pillar mountain there
is a cavity or depression with an earthy
bottom, which several local wiseacres
of a geologic and scientific turn at
mind have pronounced the crater of a
volcano. The shape of tho depression
and the character attributed to the
rocks lend color to tho theory.
Hasalt either occurs in the form of a
dike or in a horizontal sheet. Tho po
sitions of the columns vary according to
the character of tho deposit. When it
is in the form of a bed tho columns aro
erect. In tho dike formation they are
horizontal.
Tho regularity of form displayed by
the columns is accounted for by a
theory resting upon impeded contrac
tion. When mud dries out a network
of cracks appears on its surface. In
vestigation reveals that tho shapes in
tho mild are generally hexagonal, and
show tho operation of a governing
force which determines their form. In
theory this principle controls the for
mation of basaltic columns. The theory
may be correct and simple enough, but
the uniform shapes of the columns
never fail to strangely impress the lay
mind, notwithstanding.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
The Crit.lo Confounded.
A practice to which a large number
of men conform Is not lightly to ho
found fault with, for it is generally
based upon a good reason, of which tho
critic is ignorant. Coleridge, tho poet
and philosopher, was once floored by a
Jew, a peddler of old clothes, whom ho
ventured to crlticiso for abbreviating a
word. Tho Jew had annoyed Colc
ridgo by passing him several times,
crying for old clothes in the most nasal
tone. At last, the philosopher was so
provoked that ho said to tho peddler:
"Pray, why can't you say 'old clothes,'
as plain as I do now?" The Jew
stopped, looked gravely at his critic,
und in a clear, grave accent, answered:
"Sir, I can say 'Old clothes' as well as
you can, but if you had to say so ten
times a minute for hours together, you
would 'Och clo' as I do now." 110
walked away, but Coleridge was so
moved by tho justice of tho man's re
tort that he followed him and gave him
a shilling, the only ono ho had.—

STRANGE FRIENDSHIPS.
A l'et Cat anil a Canary Bird Become In
separable Clio ins.
Cats learn all sorts of antics and some
times form contradictory attachments,
young, birds iuic.fi and puppies being
the peculiar objects of affection. A
sh>ry is told from authentic sources
about a lady who had a pet canary and
an equally well-beloved cat. When
alone she allowed the former to fly
about the room. Chance discovered
that pussy was ns fond of the canary
as herself; for, to her surprise, one
morning sho entered the room to find
that tho bird had escaped and was
perched on the body of the cat, who
was apparently delighted. The bird
seemed to have no fear, and after that
the two pets were devoted companions.
Their mistress had, however, another
fright. Ouo day the cat gave a terri
ble growl, and, seizing the bird in her
mouth, leaped on tho bed for protec
tion. Iler tail was swelled to twice its
natural size, her hair stood on end and
her eyes were as big as four ordinary
eats' eyes. The bird was given up for
lost. The secret was this: A strange
cat had entered the room, and it was
for the preservation of the bird that the
cat had seized him, and as soon as the
intruder was driven away she set the
prisoner at liberty.
Another author tells the story of a
cat and dog friendship. These two
antipathetic creatures by nature grew
so unnaturally fond of each other that
they were never willingly asunder.
Whenever the one had a choice morsel
of food he was sure to divide it with
the other. They ate out of the same
plate, slept in the same bed, and took
walks together. Wishing to put tho
friendship to tho proof, the master
took the eat by herself in one room,
and gave her a sumptuous meal during
which she enjoyed the bones of the
quail and seemed to forget tho dog.
The other half of tho quail, uneaten,
was put in a cupboard, the door of
which was unlocked. Tho cat left the
room, went to tho dog, and mowed
loudly in different tones, being
answered 'with short barks. Presently
tho dog followed his friend, and, going
to tho cupboard, tho cat pushed off the
plate coveriug the quail and laid it be
fore the clog, who devoured it quickly.
A curious circumstance took place
in New Orleans in tho year 1832,
when a bear was lowered into tho

cago of an old African lion, suppos
ing it would bo torn to pieces.
As many people were assembled to
see tho barbarous exhibition the
bear placed himself in a fighting pos
ture and flew at tho lion, but to the
amazement of every on* tho lion placed
his paw upon the bear's head as if to
express his pity, and tried to make
friends with him. Taking the bear un
der his protection he suffered no one to
approach tho cage, and did not sleep
until he was exhausted, so closely did
he watch over his new friend. 110 al
lowed the bear lo cat, but refused food
for himself, and guarded the bear with
the jealous affection of a human being.
A clergyman tells tho story of once
walking through a meadow late ono
evening and seeing a great number of
rats migrating from one place to an
other. He stood perfectly still, and
the entire procession passed by him.
Great was his astonishment to seo an
old blind rat holding a piece of stick at
ono end of his mouth, while another rat
had hold of the other end, and thus
conducted his helpless and afflicted
companion.—Esther Singleton, in Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Attacked by a fiuli Mooao.
Two Maine men were out hunting
for deer, when a big bull moose cume
into view, and in a minute tho tables
were turned. Tho old fellow spied
the hunters, and without hesitation
charged them. Ills gait \yas a'tremen
dous lope, and the first bullets sent into
him only increased his speed. The
hunters had time to fire another shot,
and then they had to run for their lives.
Fortunately they got to a place where
the trees grew so close that the prog
ress of their pursuer was retarded.
This gave thcin time to reload and tho
next shot dropped the big animal. It
took eleven bullets in all to finish him.
Iloth hunters beforo had been skeptical
as to the courage and fury of this mon
arch of the woods, but they are now
willing to give him a wide berth.
Another Question Altogether.
Children are too often little spend
thrifts. They use up an entertain
ment for which their fathers and moth
ers would be grateful, and then loolc
about them for something new. It is
said that while Itudyard Kipling was
in England, during the past summer,
he became very fond of Dorothy Drew,
Mr. Gladstone's granddaughter. lie
met her at a country house, and being
very fond of children, took her about
the grounds and told stories. ;
After a time Mrs. Drew, fearing that i
Mr. Kipling must have had enough of
the child's society, called her and said:
"Now, Dorothy, I hope you have been !
a good child and have not been weary- j
ing Mr. Kipling."
"Oh, not a bit, mother," replied tho j
little girl, "but you've no idea how Mr. I
Kipling has been wearyiug uwt"

There is a secret desire in every Amer

prietor of a gun which will shoot real
powder and bullets. As he reads of the
heroes of the French and Indian wars
he wishes that these stirring times were
of the present day. Then ho thinks of
how, with a trusty rifle, he would liavo
gone forth against the savage red men.
It is no idle day dream, lie is only
showing the true American spirt and
pluck which is strong in every boy born
in this great country of ours.

his flint-lock rifle before ho had out
grown his teens.
Col. William Codj', familiarly known
as Buffalo Bill, had achieved fame as a

twenty-first birthday.
There are few boys who have an op
portunity to develop skill with firearms
nowadays. Those who do usually live
in the west or in the rural districts.
Every now and then one of these lads
comes to the front to prove that America
leads the world in tho handling of this
favorite weapon of the frontier.
We recently learned of a youth whose
record is so good that every boy will
wish to learn more of him. This young
rifleman is Master Willie Douglass, of
Lafayette, Ind. lie has been shooting
but a short time, but has shown a won
derful proficiency already. Tho illus

shots made at a range of 45 feet. It

Willie Douglass, this youthful disciple
of Leather Stocking, says tho New
York Recorder, is about 10 years of
age. lie weighs 51 pounds—just a trifle
over five times as much as his rifle.
This handsome model of the gun
maker's skill he handles as correctly
as does a veteran marksman. Ho is

KILLING JACK HARES.

The jack hare group contains five

coyotes may cause a great disturbance.
In many portions of the southwest tho
jack hares are already a perfect pest.
In central and southern California
tho destruction of the carnivorous ani
mals that usually keep rabbits In check
has led to such an alarming increase in
"jack rabbits" that now they constitute
a genuine plague. In Fresno and Kern
counties they are so destructive to
young fruit trees that the fruit-growers
have bqen compelled to adopt heroic
measures for their wholesale destruc
tion. In tho winter of 18*92 Mr. C. 11.
Townscnd reported to Forest and
Stream that in the great drivo which
took place near Fresno about tho
middle of February, a tract of country
containing about 20 square miles was
surrounded and swept over by nearly
2,000 horsemen, who closed in from all
sides, driving the game beforo them.
About 15,000 jack hares were thus forced
into a central corral of wire, where
they were killed with clubs. During
the previous winter more than 50,000
jacks were killed in a series of drives
which were made near Bakersfleld,
Kern county; and tlio worst of it was

WELL-TRAINED BEES.
An ICii};llHhtii:tn Oucc Educated a Swarm
Of 11(49 ISllhy lIIHCCtH.
In the education of animals It is more
remarkable to see tlie smaller onci
tn-Aned to exercises that Ruem Absurd
ly out of place by the patient care of
the human brain that devotes itself in
this educational process. Mice, canary
birds and lleasi They have all been
upon the boards. The idea of teach
ing the vivacious flea to perform cer
tain specific antics! How was it in
stilled into its small imperceptible fac
ulties that in obedience to certain sig
nals from the master, man, It should do
things which would never enter into
the mind of the simple, natural fiea!
Among the smaller animals there is
none that seems so intelligent, so prac
tical and sober-minded as "the little
busy bee." lie will mount in the air,
and fly in a straight line for hfs hive.
It has passed into a proverb, and
when a man wishes to say that he has
gone by the shortest line from one
point to another (and that, as mathe
mathics teaches, is the straight line),
he says ho "made a bee-line" for the
place. So in the structure of their
cells they apply by instinct the form
and proportions which reason proves to
be most effective and economical of
space. They are fine subjects and
obey implicitly their queen, and they
take good care of the drones as leng as
they are useful to the well being of the
community, and kill them as soon as
they cease to be so.
It would appear, therefore, a very
simple thing to teach bees tricks and
introduce them to a professional life as
performers on the amusement stage.
Yet probably very few have ever seen
them trained, In 1831, however, a man
named Wikleman, of Plymouth, did
train a troup and exhibit them for the
recreation of the curious public. lie
got swarms of bees so well trained that
he could make them epact maneuvers
with As much precision and unity as
troups of soldiers go through field tac
tics. This man used to exhibit the
bees in a large hall, outside of which
was a garden. When the bees got
through working as trick performers
they could have a good time playing
among tho flowers. Wildeman would
appear before the audience with the
be2B swarming all over him. They
were on his face, on his hands, crawling
over his clothes, aud his pockets were
full of them. It looked as if lie wcro

a great flower full of material from
which honey could be made, from the
assiduous attention which theso busy
little bees paid to him. Whether they
had been despoiled of their stings or
not is not said. But he must have felt
uncomfortable if he knew that many
scores of bees, were they so minded,
could have stung him at will. Such a
quantity of bee stings as that could
easily sottlc a man and leave him stung
to death. Anybody who has ever been
unlucky enough to receive tho sting of
even one healthy, vigorous bee will not
find it dillioult to believe this.
The hives of the bees were in a cer
tain part of the large hall quite re
moved from the. stage where Wildeman
stood with them thickly clustered on
him. All at once he would give a
whistle and presto! The bees started
off and flew straight to their hives.
When they had got well settled there
lie would whistle again, and back they
flew and settled on his face and hands
and clothes once more. This was done
with the greatest promptness and reg
ularity. It must have boon with some
solicitude that the spectators assisted
in this performance. But it is due to
the bees, and perhaps to Wildeman, to
say that no one was ever stung by
them.
Virgil, the great Latin poet, who
wrote four poems on different ag
ricultural themes, devotes one of
these Ucorgics, as they are called, en
tirely to Lees. But lie nowhere says
they can be taught to do the things
which this man of Plymouth trained
them to perform. Virgil's bees know a
great deal, but they have learned it all
from nature.—St. Louis Republio.

The signs were all about in the fair
grounds that, at a certain tent, Tom, a

gravely got up on the stool and placed
his fore paws on the keyboard. The
