Weather SpeculatiOns.

The weather for seven or eight days
past, has been cloudy and mild, much
resembling the climate of the foothills
OF California in Winter. Some are now
predicting a mild, wet Winter They
argue that there. have been several un-
usually dry seasons, and that in the
Southern part of the county, springs,
which were never known by the whites
to fail, until last Fall, have literally
dried up, ss1rl that in the ordinary
course of events, this ought to be wet
season, to replerish the water sopply.
Those who lived in Humboldt in 1862,
viii remember that the Humboldt was
unusually high that year; that deep
snow fell in the mountains, and for two
years afterwards the mountain streams
we're high. Then. dry seasons followed
up to. 1868, when heavy rains fell
about Christmas time, followed by deep
snow in January, after which there
were series OF dry seasons upt 1885,.
since which time the average annual
rain and snow fell here did net exceed
seven inches. As-some of the springs
dried up and, the streams were as low
last Summer and Fall as they were e, er
known to be, it is believed by those
who study weather indications, that
considerable rain and snow will fall this
Winter, and it will be a good thing for
the country if their expectations are
realized.

The Spectre Dance.

The phantom dance at the Library

by Hewitt's band was excellent, and
everybody seemed to enjoy the scene,
though the spectres,, unlike ordinary

Silk Worms Eggs.

Three carloads of cocoons, brought
BY steamer from China or Japan, passed
through yesterday on the railroad, con-
signed to silk growers in France. These
cocoons are Oval cases in which the silk
worms lie in their chrysalis, state. They
are formed of threads of silk, almost
a. fine as the spiders web, spun by the
worms, and from which the silk of com
merce is made. Ladies who take pride
in their silks should remember that
their rushing dresses once covered a
repulsive looking worm.

THE MALHEUR RESERVATION.
How its Settlement will benefit our North
ern Neighbors.


The Grant county (Oregonl News re-
joices over the news of the proposed
sale of the Malheur Reservation. 1t
says that is what our citizens have
hoped and prayed for for years past, as
stock Ten say it contains good land
enough to make at least one. hundred
good farms, besides plenty of grazing
land for stock men. This will give
Grant county new start and ere many
years she will be spoken of as the lead
ing county Of Eastern Oregon. 1t is
now supposed two, if not three, rail
roads are to enter inside her lines-ons
through the Goose Lake country (the
Winnemucca and Astoria road) one
through the Harvey Valley, and, per-
haps, the road that has been surveyed
down Middle Fork may take turn
from Baker City and go this route. So
our readers. will see thai the future ia
altogether bright for the county. The
Reservation has been d drawback. to
Grant county, and deferred hundreds
from settling therein who would have
made good. homes here only hey feared
the Indians. Now, that that fear is
dispelled, the Malheur country, the
Harney Valley, Long Creek and many
other beautiful and fertile valleys IN
car favored county viii rapidly settle
mp, and where the Reservation brought
81 to our revenue the increase in popu-
laton and wealth will bring more than
an hundred fold to the business Of the
! county This county joins Humboldt
Co., Nevada, and in that county they
have the TRANSIT Continental Railroad,
and, of course, if the other roads that
are spoken Of do go through it VIII lie
only few years ere the valleys out
South, that are now used by very few
men for grazing, will be dotted over
with farms, as people like to be as near
railroad as possible, and while they
are sure of an excellent market on the
Pacific Road at Winnemucca, they will
also be in close connection with the
new road should it go through.
Just what will be done with the i'm
mense and endless quantity of supplies
ROW at the Agency remains to be dis
covered. But in our opinion, as we
have previously stated, some one is
going to make a fortune out of them; of
course it will not be Western man, or
men, but some Eastern jobber. VS.

The First Watch.

At first the watch was about the
size of dessert plate. 1t had
weights, and was used as "a pocket
clock" The earliest known use of
the modern name occurs in the record
of 1852, which mentions that Edward
vi. had zone larum or watch of
iron, the case being likewise of iron
gilt, with two plummets of lead"
The first watch may readily be sup
posed to have been of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement
the substitution of springs for
weights--was 1860. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early
watches had only one hand, and
being wound up twice day they
could not be expected to keep the
time nearer than fifteen or twenty
minutes in twelve hours. The dials
we're Of silver or brass, the cases had
no crystals, but opened at the back

inches in diameter. A plain watch

The Change In the Frog.

Nowhere in the animal kingdom
is there so favorable an opportunity
for peeping into natures work shop
as In the metamorphoses of the frog.
This animal is worm when it
comes from the egg, and remains
such the first four days of its life,
having neither eyes nor ears, nostrils
nor respiratory organs. 1t crawls.
1t breathes through its skin. After
a while a neck is grooved into the
flesh. Its soft lips are hardened
into horny bead. The different
organs, one after another, bud out;
then pair of branching gills, and
last, long and timber tail. The
worm has become fish. Three or
four days more elapse, and the gills
sink back into the body, while in
their place Others come, much more
complex, arranged in vascular tufts,
one hundred and twelve in each.
But they, too, have their day, and
are absorbed, together with their
framework of bone and cartilage,
to be succeeded by an entirely differ
ent breathing apparatus, the initial
of second correlated group of
radical change. Lungs are devel-
oped; the mouth widened; the horny
beak converted into rows of teeth,
the stomach, the abdomen, the intes-
tines, prepared for the reception of
animal food in place of vegetable;
four limbs, fully equipped with hip
and shoulder-bon with nerves and
blood vessels, push out through the
skin, while the tail, being now sup
planted by them as means of loco
motion, is carried away piece-meal
by the absorbents, and the animal
passes the balance of its days as an
air-breathing and feeding ba-
trachian.
