| saw these two boats loading at Pitts
pufg Wlthiron and glass wares TO 90 ia
foft Benton. Imagine that journey
ooWn the Ohio to the Mississippi, up the
mississippi to St. Louis, up the Missouri
eight hundred miles to Sioux CITY.
thence one thousand miles more to the
mouth of the Yellowstone. There they
have the choice of two routes. They
can go four hundred miles or more up
the Yellowstone to the very foot Of the
Big Horn Mountains, or, keeping OF the
main river above its great tributary, fol-
low it up for eight hundred miles or
more to Fort Benton, just below the
great Falls OF the Missouri, a town of
present importance and untold possible
ties, the port of entry Of Montana and of
the British northwestern territories. LII
all this country there are no railroads,
nor are any now being built along the
line OF the river. Therefore the great
activity Of the steamboat interest, which.
driven by railroads from the river below
Sioux City, does the entire business,
Government and private, above. And
here is where the money is needed for
their benefit.
The gentleman from Ohio Mr.. Town
send gives us an argument why this APP
preparation should be made that the
Government saves money OF its freight.
This is true. One year the Government
spent $4,000 to remove ~obstructions
above the mouth Of the Yellowstone and
0 n its own freights in that year it saved
S1O6, 900, as figures from the Quarter
master-General OH file in the Commerce
Committee show. That fact Is now adj
duced in support OF this vast appropria-
ton, while the particular portion of the
river to which the credit for this annual
saving belongs, that part Of the Missouri
above the Yellowstone, indeed that part
Immediately below Benton, is subordi-
mated to the lower river, w which the
Government does no pretend to ship by
water. The Government and other
freights go by rail to Yankton, Pierre,
and Bismarck, and thence by the upper
river to its destination. In this particu-
lar Mr.. Holman cannot accuse the gem
tleman from California Mr.. Page] of
being too favorable to his own section,
the Pacific coast and Territories. When
he was appointed chairman of the Com
mittee on Commerce thought he would
look somewhat to our section of country,
and / went before the Committee on
Commerce on this matter and explained
why an appropriation Of 100000 or
more should be in the bill for the inn
provement of the river above the Vel
lowstone, and / think it only right now
that of the money appropriated for the
improvement of the Missouri river at
least 100000 should be given to that
port Of the river above the mouth Of the
Yellowstone where it will do the most
good.

Mr.. i. G. Power, from which we take
the following, Of special interest to Ben
tOnites
BOATING BUSINESS.
Mr.. Power says the boating, business
has been better this season than at any
time during the past two years. He
thinks that other boats this season have
transported about as much freight as his
ovn line, not estimating the through
boats from St. Louis. For instance
said Mr.. Power, "the Wyoming arrived
yesterday at Benton from st. Louis with
600 tons Of through freight, costing only
S1.40 per hundred pounds
Mr.. Power estimates that 5000 tons OF
freight have already been delivered at
Benton and other upper river points this
season. and believes that before the Sc a
son is over thir amount will be sWelled
to a grand total Of i, ZOO tons, or 10000
600 pounds. All this freight, too, is for
private parties, except about 1000, 900
pounds Of government freight. Last
year the government freight amounted
to about 5000 900 pounds, SO that the to-
tai Of freight for private parties will, in
the opinion Of Mr.. Power, be greater in
1882 than III 1881, Notwithstanding the
rapid advance OF tile railroad. One Tea-
son Of the boom in river freight this sea-
son Mr.. Power considers to be the SPLEEN
did condition Of the river. The spring
has been backward, thus creating an
even flow Of water and making a uni-
tornly good river throughout the sea
son.
70 the question as to what points cTea-
ted this heavy demand for river freight,
Mr.. Power explained that it was very
largely due to the great
INCREASE IN POPULATION
lin those points Immediately tributary
to the river. Helena and other points
in the Territory have, during the past
year, drifted away from the river and
were shipping chiefly by rail, but the
loss had not been felt owing to the rapid
increase Of population in points directly
tributary to the river.
Mr.. Power thinks that the completion
Of the railroad will benefit rather than
iniure the boating business. ''There
are said he, "numberless points tribu-
tary to the river that will never be
reached by railroads. Railroads cannot
go everywhere, but they will greatly in
crease the population of the Territory,
and boating, like all other business,
will feel the benefit OF the railroad
boom. Men will continue to follow the

Mr. HAEDIcKE has been making exper-

that this spontaneous combustion is

The pyrites are oxidized in the presence

place the coal splits; the surface exposed
to the air becoming greater, the ferrous
salt changes into q ferric salt, which
gives its oxygen to the coal. In order to

Density of the Earth.

Herr Won Jolly, of Munich, has been
applying the balance to ascertain the
density of the earth. The balance used
was placed in the upper part of tower,
and from each of the scales depended a
wire, through a zinc tube, having a sec
ond scale at the lower end, q, COS metres
below. These lower scales were OF m.
from the ground, so that a lead ball one
metre in diameter might be brought I'M
der one of them. A body brought from
an upper scale into a lower one has an
increase of weight corresponding to its
degree of approach to the earth S center
and to the increase of acceleration When
the lead ball is brought under the same
lower scale its pull Is added. The differ
ence of the implements of weight, with
and without the lead ball, indicates the
amount of pull of the latter, and the
duotient of this pull and that of the
earth alone furnishes a means with
the law of gravitation) of comparing
the density of the earth with that of the
lead, and, the latter being known, of de-
termining the mean density of the earth.
The author finds the mean density to be
1892, with probable error Of not more
than DOGS either way. This agrees more
or less with other determinations but
from the mean of those with the torsion
balance it DIVORCES about ten per cent.

Justice Late Int Sure.

Socrates was a stone-cutter BIZ trade,
| but too lazy to follow SO honest calling.
He loved to talk too well, and spent his
time lounging on street corners and
gathering young men as idle as himself
around him. His personal appearance
was disgusting in the extreme, and one
has but to gaze upon the Louvre cast IN
the gallery of which we are so justly
proud, to straightway sympathize with
poor, abused Xantippe. He had fiat
nose, thick lips, prominent eyes, bald
head, low, broad figure, and awkward
gait, went barefooted and half-clad, was
a bitter enemy to cleanliness, and a
mountebank In manners. He married
a woman to whom he was attracted by
her singular conversational powers, and
although he believed he himself excelled
all his contemporaries IN that respect, yet
he found that she far excelled him IN
the command of language. He cared
nothing for the welfare of his wife or
children, left them to support themselves
as best they might, while he spent the
time he could spare from the cJirbs on
seances, and wasted the treasures of his
thought at the feet of Aspasia and Theo-
dote, whom he pretended to desire to
convert, that he might thereby add lustre
to his own name-sly old dog-and IN
addition TO all this, he would invite the
| lazy creatures who surrounded HIM to
dine with him when there was nothing
