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 m their very venomous character. Reiche k Bro. state that for many years they have been trying to get specimens from Ja pan, where the inhabitants speak of them J*uth bated broath and decline absolutely, from supci-stitous fear, either to point out their habitat or assist in their capture. These two were captured in a lake in the crater of Japanese volcano, over 3,000 feet Hoove the sea. It is more than probable that, like the anthropoid apo, which has dis appeared everywhere save an Java, these giant lizards or salamaiulraj are left-over remnants of the zoological crazy-quilt of Eden, and represent an otherwise extinct ■ “Jily of n proceeding era. '* hat Reiche & Bro. will do with them they do not know. There appears to bo an impression that nobody will accept them as a gift. They are not at ail adapted for young ladies' pets, notwitstanding the fact that beside them a pug dog is n sensuous vision of lieauty, rare mid ethereal. They will not do for show purposes until it is set tled whether or not they can poison ull the bread in a bakery by simply squinting nt it. jrom across the street. The present prospect is that they will starve to death, as the large one swims and paddles about with his bal toon-like daws as If he would exchange all ms picturesque anil fire-proof reputation, meal ** ancH!Str > r included, for one square 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* “Vividly. The only difficulty is to find subjects. "By some mysterious correlative actum of the human mind, the mere men tion of the fact that he is from Boston re act* upon the organs of apprehension In such a way as to render it extremely difficult to find subjects willing to staud up before him.” “It is very strange.” “You wouldn’t taink so if you could see his biceps. 1 wish you could lie in Boston during the height of the season.” “When dpes the season open now?” “Just as soon a? tho ground is dry. Well, here comes the train. Good by, dear.” Decline of Man. Mental or organic weakness, nervous de bility and kindred delicate diseases, however induced, tqiredily and permanently cured.
