- . OCCURRENCES OF INTEREST. ] A Wonderfual Escape. o JouN WILSON, the miner who was buried alive under a snow-slide, which filled the shaft in which he was working, near Chalk Raunch, last Friday, is not dead. Sunday forenvon about eleven o'clock his chilled body was hauled out of the shaft where it had lain for forty-eight hours under twenty-six feep of packed snow, and Wilson will live to tell to ‘wondering listeners u tale as thrilling, terrible ‘and pathetic as any ever told by Dumas or Hugo. John Wilson is a Colorado miner lying in a cabin near Chalk Ranch, thanking God for the brave, true friends who dared ani did so much to restue him from the grave where Qe was buried alive. Mr. John Virgin, an officer of the Citizens’ Mining and Investment Company, of this city, returned last night from the cabin beyond Chalk Ranchgwhere Wilson now lies, and gives a graphic account of the perils which surrounded the expedition going from this city to Wil son’srescue, and also the facts of the rescue itself. Mr. Virgin owns the claim, the Alice Logan, on which Wilson and his partner, W. C. Chapman, wereé working, and when Mr. Chapman brought the news of the snow-slide on Friday night, Mr, Virgin, accompanied by _his three friends, ¢. W. Crews, Leslie Caldwel) and J. M. Downing, all of whom had known Wilson in Illinois, at once started on horseback tor the scene. It was a night of storm and snow, and four men were going out in it, well knowing the peril of the trikbut determined to do all that was possible 'in human nature to rescue the poor fellow lying in the shaft. They believed fully, as ‘all others did, that Wilson was dead, and that the work of rescue would be but thework of disinterring a corpse. The four men traveled all night along a trackless course through snow trom three to five feet decp, blinded by the storm which beat in their faces, at one place strugpling for three hours in the deep, soft snow to make a “distance of bhalf a mile. They gotto Chalk Ranch’'at five o’clock Saturday morning, utterly exhausted, and, after a short rest, went on, leaving their horses behind. From Chalk Ranch to the cabin the snow was from. five to .seven feet deep, and they struggled along through this snow until three o’clock in: the afternoon before they made tihe three miles to the eabin. The storm was whirling the snow in: their faces, agd at times some of the party wouid sink down to sleep, indifferent from exhaustion to the peril of such a course, and others would drag themm up. When they reached the foot of the hill on' which, the cabin stands, Virgin and Downing fell down in the snow and were asleep in an instant. Crews and Caldwell started up the hill to the cabin, and several times the former fell forward asleep, only to be kicked and cuffed into renewed eflorts by Caldwell, and when they reached the cabin Crews was almost in the condition of the poor, pallid object lying in ghastly slumber insthe shaft near by under twenty-six feet of snow. Caldwell made & fire, tnd, returning to the foot of the hill, aroused the sleepers there and guided them to the cabin. It was impossible for men in their condition to do any work that afternoon, and it was not until next morning that the four could make their way to the shaft up the stecp mountain side through seven feet of snow. Chapman dnd another man came up during the night and the six went to work. to get the snow out of the shaft. They fastened a gunny sack to the rope and, filling the sack, cleaned out the shaft. as_ rapidly as possible.. When near the| bottom Chapman’s shovel broke through a crust of snow, and there, crouched in one corner with his head fallen fOrward, resting on the point of a pick, was poor Wilson. ‘“My God, he’s alive!” cried Chapman, as he fell back faint and sick. A low moan issued from the blue “lips of the crouching object. The men worked with frantic energy. and, tying a rope under .Wilson’s arms, drew him out of the shaft, and with ‘great difficulty got him down the hill to the cabin. The body was -chilled and damp, the eyes swollen and closed and theteeth clenched. The limbs were rigid, but not frozen. The faint moan coming through the clenched teeth was the only sign of life, and while one man went for a doctor to Robison’s camp the others worked incessantly for hours, rubbing the body with whisky and camphor to restore circulation, and getting whisky down his throat by prying open’ his mouth. After five or six hours’ work Wilson showed additional signs of life, and in the course of the night consciousness returned. Before Mr. Virgin left, Wilson could converse and give some idea of his experience. He says that when the shaft filled with snow he thought Chapman was buried like himself, and that both would die of suffocation. He went to work with frantic energy, tryving to climb upwards, but in a few moments consciousness grew dim, and he sank down in his tomb to die. Heknew nothing afterthat. The .snow was packed tightly in the shaft, but immediately around his person there was a space of severa! inches, and this turnished enough air to prevent immediate suffocation. Wilson’s escape confirms the theory that air penetrates through a thick covering of snow in quantities sufficient to sustain life. Wilson was buried forty-eight hours, and had no serious bruises on his body. He will soon be entirely restored.—Leadville Democrat.

—lt has just been discovered that one of the many subterranean passages with which Rome is burrowed, leading from a lonely spot beyond the Porta Angelica, and passing beneath the walls, has for some time been utilized by smugglers as a route for introducing into an old stable in the Borgo bales of sugar g,nd various ‘comestibles. . —The books of the Paris Morgue show that during the year 1880 a total of 806 bodies, the results of erime, suicide, and accident, were deposited in that grim establishment. These figures show an increase of 96 over those refecving to the year 1870. :

How a Philadelphia Reporter Came - West, Got Married and Grew Rich. Two years ago, says a Philadelphia paper, the Western fever took possession ‘of the soul of William E. Jones, ,a Philadelphia = newspapér reporter. While his mind seemed filled with the idea of .styrting out for a wilderness where he . could pitch his lodge and grow up with the country, his fellowscribes, knowing that his bank account was not as big as Jav Gould's, and that the walking was bad and the Indians at that time were searching {or the topknots of dove-eyed voung men; took turns at him to dissuade him from his purpose. But their eloquence was wasted. Jones had broken out bad with the.fever, and go he would if his shoes held together. Finding him fixed in his purpose, he was referred to Lou Donnelly, then a Fifth Ward statesman in Common Council—for’ Donnelly had been West looking-after his silver mine, and was regarded as just. the right sort of . person to advise a tender young man as to how he should conduet himself in Western scciety. - Donnelly looked at Jones and saw a. good head of hair, a pale face over which a fragile whisker was struggl'ng, and 'a. form that indicated he was in no way related to the Carditt giant. - L w e “If you go West, Jones, and want to make your mark, you will-have to have your ‘scratch’ and lick your man. = As long as you are’ in it, lick him good, and your fortune is made.”” He didn’t look it, but there was not a square inch of cowardice in the whole anatomy of Jones, who, thanking Donnelly for his consideration, seized his grip sack and started for the railway depot ‘and! let out. The next time Mr. Joncs was heard from ‘he was doing service as city editor of the Denver 77ibune. Time passed on,; and nothing further was learned of the adventurous and ambitious reporter until yesterday, when Donnelly returned from the land of silver mines and bowie-knives. When questioned about Jonesthe miner smiled all over, and remarked: ‘“He struck a big deal in ‘that advice 1 gave him, sure. He "had beenin Denver, but a short time when a long-haired "knifeswallower tackled him. It was the talk of the town. Jones went for that chunk of humanity and chawed him right up. The next day he was made managing editor of a Leadville paper. He's a popular man out that way. Now he owns a paper.of his own. - And what does he d» but marry a Miss O’Brien of Leadville, a daughter of one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of the place.”” 3 - Indications point to a hegira of Philadelphia reporters to the enterprising West. - e e

Dusty Fogs and' Clouds. : Mr. John. Aitken has been experimenting on the artificial produection of fogs and clouds; and an abstract of his paper before the Royal Edinburgh Society is given in Nature, - The conclusions he has arrived at are these: 1. That whenever water vapor condenses in the atmosphere it always does so on some solid nucleus; 2. That dust-parti-cles in the air form the nucleion which the vapor contlenses; 3. That if there was no dust there would be no fogs, no clouds, no mists. and probably no rain, and that the supersaturated air would convert every-objeet on the surface of the earth into a condenser on. which it would deposit; 4,:Our breath when it becomes visible on a cold morning, and every pufl of steam as it escapes into the air, show the impure and dusty condition of our atmosphere. . It is not the dust motes revealed by a beam of sunlight when shining into a darkened room that form the nuclei of fog and cloud-particles, since these may be entirely removed by heat, and yet the air remain active as a cloud-pro-ducer. The heat would seem to break up the larger motes which reflect the light into smaller and invisible . ones. By atmospheric dust is meant these infinitesimally small and invisible particles. . The larger motes which reflect the light are no doubt active nuclei, but their number is too small to have any important effect. All forms of combustion produce..large quantities of this dust, and Mr. Aitkin does not therefore anticipate any diminution bf the fogs of large towns like London, by improved fire-grates and the like. They would be whiter and purer if there was no smoke, but Mr. Aitken is not aitogether certain that the removal of smoke and sulphur would not cause greater evils than their presence. = : el @t —One pound of glue boiled in two quarts of skimmed milk will resist the action of water. - e :
