UGLY IP NOT VENOMOUS.
Two Genuine Fire-Proof Salamanders
Taken to New York.
From the New York Times.
The salamander has turned up at last. In
this year 1887, the nineteenth century after
Christ, the far-famed beast, that made itself
so generally disliked in the Jurassic period
that it has constantly been remembered in
history, both sacred and profane, and in
mvth, tradition and fable, through all the
centuries since men used signs for writing,
has at last appeared in New York city.
There is no doubt of his authenticity. The
old original fireproof salamander, two of
him in fact, can now be seen by anybodv,
admission free, at the depot of Charles
Heiche & Bro., dealers in rare animals, y 5
Park row.
The existence of the salamander has long
been disputed. In spite of the stories of
Pliny, Cuvier, and Scheuchzer, the Swiss
naturalist, concerning him, the publje mind
has steadily refused to take Sally into its
confidence. When Prof. Tommaso Ochil
tree, of the leaning tower of Pisa, averred
before the Smithsonian institution that he
had driven two salamanders tandem through
a Texas political campaign, the public still
remained obdurate, despite such emi
nent authority in snake stories. The
surprise of Reiche & Cos. can
therefore be imagined when there ar
rived to them a few days since from Japan,
via Germany, by the steamer Elbe on her
last trip, not one salamander, but two, iu a
healthy and kicking state of life. It has
bom believed by the most credulous that if
a salamander did exist, there wrs only one
of him at the outside. That like the tidal
wave, the sea serpent, the millennium, and
the joker in a euchre pack, his destiny was
that of the singular number. But, in spite
of belief and fables, there were two verita
ble salamanders in a wooden tub. and the
German inan-of-all-work of the firm, Mr.
Reiche being sick, has been scared half to
death ever since.
When a reporter was permitted to inter
view the fabulous beasts yesterday morning,
they were found in a room on the second
floor reposing in a circular tin tub about 4
feet in diameter, in which there was 8 inches
of water. The bottom of the tub was
covered with light colored pebbles. In the
water were two things, both alive, which
are probably the least beautiful living ob
jects in all creation. The larger is II feet in
length, about one-half being tail. It looks
like a centenarian tadpole or an animated
stuffed club. It is a chocolate brown in
color and covered with larges
black warts. It has eyes, for its motions
are intelligent, but the orbs are as invisible
as Owuey Geogbeghaii's chickens after a
fight. Its head is like a sandwich, for it is
afl mouth. When it lifts the cover from its
frog trap the ceremony is exactly like re
moving the upper slice of bread. A cream
colored cavern is displayed, a cream-pink
tongue, and two rows of needle-like teeth
sufficient in number to dispose of a Third
avenue dinner without effort. There is
nothing in the world that is uglier than the
big salamander with its mouth shut except
the same warty toy with its mouth open.
Beside it is another of a dirty black color,
likewise profusely enameled with warts. It
is built on the same model, and the seeker
after ugliness has difficulty in making his
choice. It is about 80 inches in length, and
lies flat on the bottom of the water, now and
then emitting a bubble of highly jioisonous
air. At least the German attendant, thinks
it is poisonous, and he remains in the room
only under protest.
His fear of the two beasts would be ludic
rous if it were not so serious a matter to
him. When the animals arrived word was
sent along with them from the German
house of Reiche & Bro., at Alfeld, in Hano
ver, that the two things had been captured
by one of the house traveling men in Japan;
that they were unknown to the books on
reptilia, ami were beyond doubt veritable
salamanders. Notwithstanding this, the
gentlemen of the firm here tried all the en
elycopedias and zoological records for in
formation and obtained some startling facts
from Pliny, which made a deep impression
on the keeper’s mind. Plinv says that of
all venomous animals the salamander is by
far the most dangerous, for while other rep
tiles attack individuals only, the
salamander is able to destroy ‘ whole
nations unless they take proper precautions
against it; that if it crawls up a tree it fatal
ly infects all the fruit; that if it touches
with its foot the wood upon which bread is
baked it poisons the bread, and thut it turns
into deadly poison ail the water which
touches it. A circular which Reiche &
Bros, have issued questions, in jierfectly
food faith, whether or not salamanders now
living may not be the cause of malignant
epidemics, and all the facts combined have
made the keeper as wary in approaching
them as if they were animated nitro-glyee
rine. When the reporter attempted to'stir
the water yesterday the keeper’s eyes
widened and his liair rose.
“Don’d; for Gotl’s sake, don’d,” said he.
“Why not!”
“Dot vater is boison. You pe deat in no"
time.”
“Nonsense.”
“Veil, dot’s so. Ye change der vater, put
ye don’d touch it mit our bants. Ve bump
it oud mit a leedle bump.”
“And where do you put it?’
“Trow it in der sewer.”
“But what right have you? You’ll be
poisoning the whole bay.”
“I can’t lielb id,” he said with honest
obstinacy; “Mr. Reiche is sick. He dou’d
tell me noding, uud I do my vork."
The animals have a serious interest for the
scientist from the fact that they are very
rare, and as yet entirely unrecorded. It ts
not known whether the two are male and
female, first cousins, or remotely related.
>or is it likely, until the adventurous inves
tigator appears, that anybody will dare
touch them, so deeply grounded is the lielief

that, like the anthropoid apo, which has dis

A PICTURE OF PANDEMONIUM.
Fighting Fire Nearly 2,000 Feet Under
Ground.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Comstock Lode is of itself one of the
world’s wonders. It is moreover wonderful
B-s a spot in which the greatest marvels of
mining have been performed. When the
jO' .u bonanza was being worked 000,000
leet, ot timber were lowered into the deeps
•bid set in place monthly lor probably forty
months. Well, that muss of timber lias
*>een on lire for two or three years past, and
at lust has become so terrible a feature that
it must bo subdued or that portion of the
great lode abandoned. Sometime ago
It was hoped Hint the lire might lie
urrested by bulkheads, and so
solid walls of masonry were built sixteen
Jeet in thickness to ward off the terrible
to’e. But the walls soon became hot and the
total gas generated by the lire found its way
out mte the open chambers of the mine,
something else luul to be done, and so it was
determined to try to drown the fire with
carbonic acid gas. The trial is now under
way, and Dan He Quille in the Enterprise
givesa decription of it. It reads like the
description of a battle between mortals and
gnomes. From the intensely interesting
statement we condense some naked facts. A
furnace for the manufacture of the gas is
placed m position on the l,i(X) level ot the
Ophir mine. The furnace is iron, like a steam
boiler, lined with brick, and the material
used for the manufacture of the gas is coke
and charcoal. The furnace is fed at one
end and the gas discharged through a
twelve-inch pipe at the other. The account
says: “The draft through the furnace is
very strong, and when the doors are open
the flames within roar like a blast furnace.
Cast iron, or any ordinary metal, would be
melted in a moment in the great heat.” The
furnace makes 40,000 feet of carbonic gas
daily, and it is estimated that fifty days
will be required to subdue the fire.'as it is
believed that it fills 2,000,000 feet of the
mine. The pipe is at white heat when
the gas leaves the furnace. This is
caivied down into a tank or flume 80 feet in
length ovqr which 10 inches of water flows
constantly and tools it. “Then the pipe
enters the main incline, still lying in the
trough, and goes down 70 feet to the 1,750
level. The water dashes down through this
trough and over and around the pipe with
a noise of a small Niagara.” On that level
the pipe enters the bulkhead, which at that
point is 24 feet in thickness. The pipe is
tamped in with clay and which is kept con
stantly wet. The account says:
A tremendous draft inside the bulkhead
sucks in the carbonic-acid gas brought there
through the pipe. When the bulkhead was
cut through for the purpose of inserting the
end of the pipe, all were astonished at the
draft that was disclosed. It was so great
that the workmen were obliged to be on
their guard against being sucked in and car
ried into the regions of interior fire. This
may appear to be an exaggeration, but an
anemometer placed in the current of air
showed it to have a velocity of 500 miles an
hour. On the surface of the earth eighty
miles an hour is thought to be a fearful gale,
but here is a gale of 500 miles. This brings
into one’s mind at once thoughts of the tre
mendous gaseous disturbances to which the
surface of the suu is subject.
Of course this draft was not long left
open, the inrush of atmospheric air, com
bining with the carboujc-oxide gas within,
lieing liable to form an explosive compound.
The pipe was in readiness, with its lower
end closed, and it wasot once thrust through
the opening, and the work of filling lu
around it begun.
As the gas passes in around the bulkhead
it settles down into the lowest part of the
inclosed space, lieing heavier than the car
bonic oxide gas within, and also heavier
than atmospheric air. It will go down to
the 1,900 level. There it will be stopped off
and prevented sinking farther bv water.
Thus all the inclosed space iu which are the
smoldering timbers will be filled up with
carbonic-acid gas, which will displace the
carbonic-oxide gas, just as water poured
into a bottle displaces the air.
When all the burning section has been
thus filled up the fact will be known by car
bonic acid gas flowing out through the pipe
on the 1,500 level through which the gas
from the fire is now escaping into the old
Consolidated Virginia shafts.
It may lie said that after the inclosed sec
tion shall have been filled to overflowing
with the carbonic acid gas it will be allowed
to so remain a month or two before any of
the bulkheads are opened. The opening will
be very cautiously done, and only after car
bonic acid gas has taken the place of the car
bonic oxide gas at the escape pipe. This
may be known by several tests. Avery sim
ple one is to introduce the gas into lime
water, when a precipitate wall at once be
formed of the contained lime.
The rock in the mines will retain heat a
long time, but this may be overcome by the
use of water thrown on through a hose, once
the fire is out and the gas gone.
The glowing furnace at the 1,760 level of
the Ophir. where the gas is made, presents a
novel and striking scene—a scene almost
startling to an old Comstocker coming sud
denly upon it from a dimly-lighted drift.
It sends a red glare all about the station,
such as one sees in a big foundry where small
rivers of moltou iron are flowing about.
The men, too, look in the red glare like
beings belonging a little lower down
in the subterranean regions, where
old Satan is filing up. It was yesterday
compared with the furnaces in the' hold of a
big ocean steamer, but here the fire is much
fiercer. The coke and charcoal under the
strong—fearfully strong—draft bring all in
side the furnace to a white heat. The heat
and glare are so intense that one feels all
the time as though there were danger of
something giving way or blowing up. Then,
besides the roar of the furnace, there is the
roar of the falling water in the incline, the
:attic of cages and the clank of machinery.
All these signs and sounds taken together
constitute a pandemonium which is worth
while to experience, as it jolts ono out of
the every-day, jog-trot scenes and sensa
-tions of life.
A REMARKABLE DOG.
He Assulte a Locomotive and Immor
talizes a New Jersey Village.
From the New York Evening Sun.
A pleasant little village is the village of
Arlington, on the line of the Greenwood
Lake railroad in New Jersey. It has several
hundred houses filled with pleasant people.
All of them like dogs. It would be hard to
find a man in the village who doe* not own
a dog. Dogs of high degree and low degree,
and of all the intermediate shades of pedi
gree, haunt the highways and byways. The
little railway station where the maids and
matrons assemble nightly to meet their hus
bands, present or prospective, returning
from their business, is a daily aog show of
rare magnitude. Each family is represented
by the family dog, who would consider that
he hail not done ins duty by his protectors if
he failed to be at the station in time to plant
a pair of muddy forepaws on the knees or
shirt front of the head of the house as he
alights from tho train.
Months ago this c anine fraternity seemed
to imagine that the locomotive, with its long
line of cars, was some ill-conditioned mon
ster which swallowed their masters every
morning and disgorged them every night,
and that eventually tho monster might re
fuse to disgorge. The din they created in
expressing their hatred of the locomotive
was tern fie. Not long ago they evidently
decided that something more effectual than
yelps and howls must be tried.
whether they cast lots to decide which
should take the track and dispute the pas
sage. of the train, or whether tne noble brute
resolved of his own accord to sacrifice him
self for the public good will never lie known,
but two weeks ago Jack, a lug black and tan
dog, planted himself Ixddly in front of the
(i p. m. truin. The engineer yanked at the
whistle and a wild shriek rent tho air. The
(iog stood his ground until the train was al
most upon him. Then he dropped into a
hollow between the sleepers and escaped uu
hurt. ilis comrades greeted him enthusias
tically, but he walked homo with the air
of ono who hail only half performed his
duty.
The next night he again faced the train.
Thiß time he (Fid not drop. Theeowcateher
gathered him up and flung ltim into a sand
bank 50 feet away. lie made aliout fourteen
revolutions in trying to reach the spot near
his tail where llie cowcatcher had first in
troduced itself to him, and then trotted
home.
Two nights Inter he returned to the old
place on the railroad. As the train cume in
sight he braced himself and yelped de-
Itnance. The locomotive landed him in the
same old sand bank, with feet straight up in
the air. The shades of night settled down on
what looked like tho corpse of a very tired
dog. His comrades departed sorrowfully, as
if to prepare for a funeral.
For two days Jack's home was silent and
deserted. On the third day the supposed
cor] is walked into the house,’very silent and
subdued, but uumHakablo aii've. Ho is
now as well nnd as noisy as ever. Mr. Manly
who owns him says he would not take SIOU
tor him. He thinks that a dog which can
live through three eucounteiw with a locomo
tive must nave more lives than a cat.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 19. 1887.
THE MYSTERIES OF MORMONISM.
The Sights Seen by a Converted Jewish
Rabbi—Places of Worship.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A recent vistor of prominence to this city
is R. Wad-01-Ward, a converted Jewish
rabbi, from Palestine. He is perhaps fifty
yea re of age, and is a member of the tribe
of Levi. He has more of an Arabic cast of
features than of Hebrew, has a swarthy
complexion and piercing black eyes, while
his figure is slender and wiry.
“Since my conversion to the Christian
faith, sixteen yeoi-s ago,” said ho in perfect
English to a reporter yesterday, “I have
traveled over nearly every portion of the
globe, preaching the cause of Christ and
leammg the traits, customs and languages
of all nations. On ruv way to California I
stopped at Sait Lake City,’where I remained
about six weeks as the guest of some Mor
mon apostles, whom I met iu Jerusalem, mv
native city. I visited all of the important
places in Mormondom, stopped with the
people themselves, and learned all I could. I
must say that I found many thing? which
were obnoxious to me, more especially the
latter day revelations of Joseph Smith, con
cerning the descent of the first apostles
from Joseph. However, the people certainly
acted in a very hospitable and courteous
manner toward me. When I went there I
made up my mind to put aside all prejudice,
and not allow anything I had ever heard
against, them to interfere in any way with
my judgment of their character and cus
toms. I resolved to see and decide for
myself. On two occasions I met President
Taylor and John Q. Cannon, who are still in
hiding from the minions of the law, as you
know, I found them courteous and willing
to give me all the information which I
desired.
“Something about the temples? Oh, yes,
certainly. They are invariably built facing
east and west. ’ln entering one of them you
come into a corridor or outer chamtier,
where you are requested to remove your
shoes. You are then led into another
chamber on the right, called the men’s
department. Directly opposite is the
women’s department. Connected with these
rooms are small bath-rooms, where you are
instructed to bathe yourself, for you are not
allowed to carry the dust and dirt of the
outer world into the sacred precincts of the
temple. You are then taken into the laver
room, which is an oblong square in slmpe.
Tire you see a huge liranze font, weighing
nearly four tons, and measuring about 15
feet long by 7 feet wide. It is supported on
twelve bronze oxen in life size, and alto
gether is a magnificent work of art. In this
room you are baptized, either for, yourself
or for some dead relative or friend. A
Mormon, you know, can be baptized every
day, if he likes, for the good of some dear
dne in the spirit world. In the marriage
scenes, however, the baptism is for the con
tracting parties only. Adjoining the laver
room is a second bath-room of small pro
portions, where the anointing ceremony
takes place. Your clothing, of course, is
removed, and, commencing with the crown
of your head, every part and member of
your body is anointed with sacred oil. I
must admit that this was not after the
usual Hebrew manner, and was naturally
very distasteful to me.
“After the candidate has been anointed
the endowment robes are put on him. These
consist of a copibination suit of undershirt
and drawers, made in one piece, which are
to be worn by the candidate day and night,
and are never to lie taken off except to lie
replaced immediately by a fresh suit of the
same kind. White caps are also furnished
for the male candidates, which make them
look more like French pastry cooks than
anything else. In addition to these, a big
apron of white linen, silk or woolen mate
rial, with a green fig leaf in front. The
women wear the same kind of robes, with
plain white overdresses and aprons of
smaller size, but of the same shape, design
and material as those worn by the men.
When the candidates have been completely
costumed, after the manner I have described,
they are led into still another room, whion
is called paradise, and I frankly confess that
I have never been in any room or garden
that so nearly resembled my ideas of a real
paradise as that one did. Magnificent oil
paintings of flowers, birds, trees and every
form of animal and vegetable life were to
be seen everywhere. They were works of
art, too, that would not disgrace the walls
of any academy or salon. Here the ceremony
of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden
occurs, alter which the candidates are con
ducted to another room, called the world,
which is also handsomely decorated and fur
nished. I have not the time, and I doubt if
you have the space, to give a full description
of all these ceremonies, which may bo
characterized as very solemn rigmaroles.
When all that I have told you has boen gone
through with, the party begins to ascend,
and is taken to the room of the dead—a
perfect gem of architecture—and finer and
more elaborate than any of the chapels in
the Tag Mahal or the Alhambra. In this
room occurs the ceremony of the endowment
for eternity, or for the dead. When this is
over you are led to the last room, the holy
of hones, whore you are given tho grips and
signs of the Aaronic and Melchisedec priest
hoods. This rite to me was most distaste
ful.”
Boston and Omaha.
From the Omaha World.
Omaha Girl—l suppose Boston has
changed greatly since I was there?
Boston Girl—-Oh, Boston never changes;
it broadens somewhat, evolutes possibly, but
practically it is as changeless as the laws
of the national base bail association.
“I thought perhaps theosophy was having
an effect.”
“Theosophy, dear, is nothing new in Bos
ton, though I confess the theories wero un
til recently unforrnulated. Everybody now
reads the Occult World and some of the
ladies are such enthusiasts that they take a
copy of the book with them to the base ball
games aud pound it against a volume of
Emerson when a player makes a good
point.”
“Emersonis still popular, then?’
“Indeed, yes; no othc r thinker has yet been
able to project a theoretical sphere which
Emerson’s philosophy could not hit aud
knock clear out of the field.”
“I did not know Emerson was a theoso
phist.”
“He did not call himself one, but Prof.
Mike Kelly does not call himself an artist,
yet we all know he is.”
“I thought at one time that the Swerlon
borgian doctrines would take a last root in
Boston, but—”
“You wore mistaken. Swedenborg mere
ly toyed with great truths with soft gloves.
Bostonians preter straight from the shoulder,
bare knuckled realism in their groupings
after the infinite. Dreams are but dreams
after all, nnd they should no more be con
founded with ascertained facto than night
mares with actual contests, Marquis of
(Jueensberrv rules. I trust 1 make myself
understood.”
“Pardon my lack of comprehension, but
you know we have not the advantages here
in Omaha which Bostoniaus enjoy.”
“1 presume not, but you will revel in all
these intellectual delights in tho course of
times. Prof. Hullivan s arm is getting well.
He is a great traveler.”
“Are liis lectures illustratedr*

to find subjects willing to staud up before

“It is very strange.”
“You wouldn’t taink so if you could see

“When dpes the season open now?”
“Just as soon a? tho ground is dry. Well,
