cart a Russian?" asks the tall, brown
Bashkir, forgetting for moment all
his dignity, as he offers his visitor a
glass of fresh mares milk, to refuse
which would be like refusing to smoke
the pipe of peace with a red Indian,
and. without waiting for reply. he
continues, s.Wilt stay to tea and be our
guest?" An affirmative answer puts
the whole family in the best of spirits.
The old Tartar with arms folded across
his chest, kneels near the curtain door
way, where now and again the rough
head of pretty foal looks in. The
Bashkir and Kirghiz couple take their
guests, the men sitting cross-legged on
the felt-covered floor, while the women
kneel and attentively listen to the con-
versatiOn. OF chairs and tables there
are none. After the ruddy Kirghiz
woman has put the large Russian sam
ovar on the floor, and brought in a
dish of some forty boiled eggs-five
eggs being the portion allotted to each
member of the small communicable
begins to clean the teapot, Tartar fash
ion. That is to say she licks it care
fully (only on the outside), and then
applies the lower part of her flowery
dress as substitute for a dishcloth.
While the baby slumbers peacefully, her
braceleted wrists just peeping out from
under the petticoat serving for cover
let, the mother turns her yelled and tur-
baned head aside, and, reaching n loa
of bread, bites piece out of it without
the formality of a knife.
While conversation was carried on
the younger woman had finished her
preparation, few large lOaves were
rolled into the middle of the tent, the
overlooking cups were passed around;
a glass of mares milk followed. The
bread for the visitors was. in honor of
the occasion, cut by the Bashki's small
pocket knife, butter was then put on
by means of the spoon, which after
each dip, was licked by the Tartar with
much gusto. The hosts dispensed with
both knife and butter spoon, tearing
the bread and scooping out the butter
in the hollow of their hand, then rub
bling into the bread as much Of it as
possible, and smacking their lips over
their savory meal
Here the summons came that it was
time for the mares to be MIXED; the
old Tartar slowly rose from his knees,
the Bashkir shut up his pocket knife
with deprecatory remark on English
pocket-knives generally, the remaining
loaf was rolled into corner. the visit
ors' half-emptied cups and untouched
bread and butter were eagerly con-
sumed by their friendly hosts, and out
we all marched with much shaking of
hands and many invitations to come
again and be their guests.-PuH Mali

Some of the Names Which CaHfoFni

Some of the Names Which California
People wrestle With.
Many of the California names that
are supposed to be Spanish are in
reality Indian The disappearance of
the Calf ornia Indians is little less than
extinction, and offers one of the most
remarkable samples of the way in
which the red man dies out before the
progress Of the white. The tribes are
quite numerous, some of the Moke-
lumne, the Tolumne, Chowchillas,
Costumes, Colusa, Mojave (Arizona),
Tehachpi, Tamals or Tamales, Cuca-
mongas, Inyo, Mono, Modoc. Yolo,
Yuba, Klamath or Klamath, Tshasu or
Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, Cahuilla,
Saticoy, Wynemer or Hueneme, Suscol.
Temecula, Ukiah, Guyana, Myacinas,
Bolbones, Sulicos, Hulchica and Hoo
pah are all Indian and are nearly all
the names of tribes long since disap-
peared, bearing with them the mean
| ing of their names, Fortunately some
of them have been preserved. SonOma
| or ZonOma, for instance, means the
valley of the moon; Temescal is the
| Indian for sweathouse; Yreka is a
| corruption of Wi-e-kah and means
white, being the Indian and most APP
propriate name for Mount Shasta; Napa
Is the Indian for fish; Marin was the
last chief of the Tamales Indians; Mo-
doc means strange or stranger, or hos
tile; Tahoe, the big or deep water;
Yolo, rush land; Yosemite, big grizzly
bear; Siskiyou was an Indian chief;
Stanislaus was the name given to a
Christianized Indian chief; Aptos means
the meeting of the streams; Sequouia
or Sequoyal, was Cherokee, better
known as George Guess, who invented
a tribal alphabet; Klameth was an In
dian chief; so was Sequel, and so was
Suscol; Elembender Uake County, is
the Indian for paradise; Petaluma is
the Indiana for duck-pond; Suisum
means big expanse, and Tamalpais is
a composite word meaning the country
(pais, Spanish, region) of the Tamals.

ILLEGAL FENCING OF THE PUBLIC LANDS.
In my last annual report called attention
the illegal fencing of the public land. and
urged some legislation by which such Illegal
fences might be summary removed without
regret to say that Congress has so far failed
to take action on this subject. A number of
suits have been instituted by the Department
to compel the parties to remove such fences.
but such proceedings involve much time and
delay, and if the parties defendants desire to
continue in possession of such fenced lands
appeals will be taken TO the Supreme Court
of the United States, and the Government
put to the great expense and the land with
held from occupation under the settlement
laws. / trust that some legislation may be
had that will enable tho Department in a
summary way to destroy these fences where
the builders refuse to take them down. 1t
has been claimed by some that the power
exists in the Department to destroy these
fences as Instructions on the public lands
If this is so the Department has no means at
its disposal to pay the expenses of such re-
moval, neither has the Department of JUS
tice.. Authority should be given to remove
such distractions. and provisions made for
the payment of the persons employed to do
such work.
LAPSED GRANTS.
In reference to lapsed grants the Secretary
says he hopes that Congress may speedily do
something. He says that owing to the decis-
iOh of Schulenber vs. Hartman the Depart
ment cannot treat grants as public property
and they remain to all intcnts private prop
erty and beyond the control of the Depart
ment. "'

COMPRESSED WATER"
Is There Such . Thing, and II So, How
Does 1t Work?

Is Thero Such . Thing, and II 3d. HOW
Does 1t Work?
About the year 1910 Francis Bacon
experimental in the question as to
whether liquids are compressible or no.
He filed small leaden sphere with
water, Theoretically sealed, and exposed
it to very high pressure; and the re-
suit of his experiment was such as to
satisfy him that. water (and other,
liquids, he added were non-compressi-
ble-a view on the subject that was
adopted and adhered to by the whole
scientific world for some centuries. In
modern times, and by means OF most
careful research and very elaborate ap-
paratus, it has been found that Bacon's
law is not strictly correct, though not
very far from the mark. 1t is now
established that liquids are susceptible
of a certain amount of compression,
the statement of affairs, in the case Of
water, being that for pressure equal
to that of the atmosphere water expe-
riences a. compression of 0OOO5 part OF
its original volume. In other words
and the fact is of Importance as being
the one on which the laws of hydraulics
are based-and for all practical pur-
poses water may be said to be nom
compressible.
The above being borne in mind, it is
with some mental perplexity that one
turns to q paragraph, that has been
going the rounds of the scientific and
mechanical journals lately, descrip-
tive of an alleged French invention
in the way of machine for bor-
ing with compressed water" The
Iron Age takes notice of the mat
ter, and says that a MIR. Brandt, in the
piercing of the St. Gothard, invented .
special apparatus in which compressed
water was substituted for compressed
air. A variety of figures as to the
construction of the machine are given,
together with some account of the
work that it was applied to in the St..
Gothard undertaking, an opportunity
being taken to commend French inge-
nuity as exemplified in this particular.
We could understand the whole
affair and find Ineligible, if, in the
paragraphs we have alluded to-, a
typographical or other literary error
has been committed, and for COM
pressed water compressed air should
be read; and we could understand it on
the hypothesis that the idea spoken of =
is one of those extravagant and wild
things that one hears of the Patent
Office being from time to time aston
ished with.
But we can not comprehend it in any
other wayl
Will some of our readers, who have
made a special study of the laws of
hydraulics and the properties of water.
favor us with some expressions of
opinion as to what compressed
water engine would be.-Midland In
