AT the close of the Revolutionary

AT the close of the Revolutionary
War the Maryland Legislature passed a
law giving to the heirs of officers of the
Maryland line killed in battle fifty acres
of land, without patent, and it was pro
vided that no taxes should be assessed
until the lands were transferred by the
heirs to other parties. Most of the
lands were located in what is now Gar
rett County, and were only valuable for
the timber growing upon them. The
heirs, being unable to sell, took no steps
to secure their titles, and it is alleged
that the present owners hold under
escheats issued upon false assertions
that there were no living heirs. The
rapid advance in the value of property
in Garrett County has called attention
to the titles of the present holders, and
wide field of litigation is in prospect.

"A patent recently granted in Vienna
and Berlin uses bands of steel, which is
tempered and hardened, to transmit
motion from one pulley to the other, the
faces of the pulleys being turned per-
feetly fiat and then faced with varnish

The number of varieties OF insects
is vastly greater than that of all other
living creatures. The oak supports $50
species OF insects, and 260 are found in
the pine. Humboldt, in 1849, calculated
that between 100000 and 10000 speci-
mems were preserved in collections, but
recent estimates place the present num-
Der at about 100000 species.
Among the statements called out by
the recent Tariff Convention at Chicago
was one to the effect that if the planting
of vines in California continues at the
present rate for half century, the grape
and wine supply from this source will be
not less than four times the quantity pro-
duced by France fifty years ago. 1t has
long been predicted that California
would owe her title of Golden " to the
products of her fields rather than her
mines.
