"FEARLESS FRED."
Another Newsy Letter From Fred Funston.
PARAMONT POSTOFFICE }
March 18, 1891.
DEAR ------------I've made the trip. I am trooly grate. Listen to my narrative of how a Brave Man suffered.
Left Ash Meadows (name for a small spot somewhere in the desert) Friday, March 13 and that night reached the edge of Death Valley, forty-eight miles. The next day I played the trombone. Against all common sense and reason, I tried to reach Pasamint by going around the north end of the Pasamint Range, a mountainous desert without water or trails. This was on Saturday. I rode hard all day, passing around the north end of Death Valley and around the end of the Range. When night came I found that I was in a country of which I could make neither head nor tail and couldn't tell where in the desert I was, except that I had half a gallon of water left and was forty miles from the nearest water at Furnace Creek. (The explorer is a little incoherent here, but he is evidently excusable.) Lay down and went to sleep. Coyotes sat around me and howled all night. Got up at six the next morning and saw that if I did not take a back track, was a goner. Horse was so weak from hunger and thirst that it could not carry me, had not had a drop or a mouthful since the morning before. I started back over that stony mesa leading the horse. The sun was awfully hot, water gave out, and I suffered tortures that day and the following night. It would take too long to write it, but to make a long story short my thinker got all bejiggered. Before I knew it Iwas looney, but I tried to keep my mind off it, and kept pounding the mesa. The horse could barely walk. From 6 a. m. Sunday to 3:30 a. m. Monday I did not stop ten minutes all told, then lost my way and waited for daylight two hours and at 7 a. m. reached Furnace Creek.
I had not eaten a bite from Saturday night till Monday morning and was nearly as long without water. I had grab but was so thirsty I could not eat. The pony had not had a drop of water or a mouthful of food from Saturday morning until Monday morning Older
Dayton, took me in, filled me full of Chili sauce and some other hot stuff. I rested and ate and drank all day very assiduously, and the next Tuesday borrowed another horse from Dayton and today reached Paramont by leaving my horse in charge of some Shoshones and coming over snow on foot.
Start back for Ash Meadows tomorrow. By the time I get back shall have been out eight days. I'll get a horned toad this trip, or I resign my position as United States explorer and Scientist. Oh, this is glorious! Come out and spend Arbor Day. Bring an arbor along,
and we will sit under it and Enjoy the Air. Yours Exploringly,

The Pennsylvania company is doing away with all unnecessary telephones to reduce expense. A saving of $15,000 a year will be accomplished in this way.
China up to 1875 had never possessed a single railway track. In 1875 the first line had in that country was along a strip of land with a length between Shanghai and Woosung.

Aline of steamers between Baltimore and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be known as the Maryland line, has been put in service in 1834. It is one of which operates over the Baltimore and Ohio.
The majority of men controlling the traffic and operating departments of American railways are under forty years of age. There are sixty-three presidents of systems, with over 500 miles of road, under forty-five.
In a European museum there is a very rare clock lamp in which the passage of time is shown by the lowering of the oil in graduated glass reservoir as the lamp burns.

CURIOUS TIMEKEEPERS.
A queer clock is a cocoanut shell, pierced with a small hole. This is floated on water and sinks in a stated time, perhaps an hour. This is used by the Malays. In India a copper bowl takes the place of the cocoanut.
IT is better to be a few minutes early than to be one moment too late.
