Practical Value of science"


While the characterization {" or anks are
protesting against the method Of protect
ing the public from the small -pox, the
process has actually stamped out the
5laeue In localities where it had taken
hold. And while Ruskin and other vivi-
section "cranks" were declaiming In one
part of London against experiments on
i've animals, q man was having his life
saved in London hospital by q
surgical operation that depended upon
vivisection. For Professors Farrier and
Yeo, by experiments upon the brains of
live animals discovered, that certain symp-
toms were the result of pressure upon a
particular part of the brain. So when a
patient betrayed these symptoms they
boldly cut into the right place in his brain
and removed tumor which they found
there. Its growth would inevitably have
killed the man. Its removal saved his
life. 1t was the first operation Of the
kind ever performed, and would never
have been possible but for the experiments
upon the brains of live animals.

Presently the minister went away and a

Bobby's passing a sleepless night on the pit

Rambler.
Charley Backus, the well-known negro
minstrel performer, was in the habit of Wis
iting his mother, in New Bedford, Mass.
While he was there he would go to church
with her regularly Sunday morning, Sunday
afternoon and Sunday evening. On one oc-
casion collection was being taken up in aid
of the missionaries at the Sandwich islands.
The plate was being passed around and the
frugal congregation were putting in their
pennies and their shin-plasters, in the de-
nomination of twenty-five cents. Backus
most munificently dropped in a silver dol
lar.
His mother leaned over in the high-bac
pew and whispered:
''Charley, why will you be so extrava-
CANT? A quarter was plenty to put in that
box"
'TNever mind, mother said the minstrel,
"I play to the Sandwich islanders next
month, and I'll rake in the whole collec-
ton"

troupe to which the dashing Kate
vns the chief and only attraction

weeks ago. Well It appears that
there u good deal Of the rufian
mixed up IN the fellow, for the tele-
Ernph tells Us that he recently
started out on freseolng expedi-
ton IN an eastern town, during
which he managed to spend a large
sum Of money trusted to his care by
his eonfding wife. When Kate
desired some pin money she drew
upon her pemmbulating bank, but
the Institution had suspended pay
ment Kate kicked. Il was a
har5hcr kick than the aesthetic fling
Of her dainty pedal that has so oft
awakened the applause Of the bald
heads IN the front seats Of the
orchestra. The wicked husband did
not bow meekly an expostulature
but raised up In all Of the strength
Of his manhood % and smOte the
little actress with a mighty smote
that extracted her senses for the
time being. COne would suppose she
had but little Of that commodity in
the choice Of men.) The husband
was arrested and lodged In jail over
night, several thousand dollars
worth OF his wife's diamonds being
found on his person. A reeOneilia-
tion took place and the company re-
aumed It's travels, Kate taking the
chances Of a repetition Of the knock

When n business depression exists
the transfers Of property by cash
sales are exceedingly few, and real
estate, sueeumbing to the general
weakness takes a downward course,
During the past several months very
few sales have been reported in our
city. Il Is a fact that valuation has
shown no disposition TO shrink. II
n man desired to purchase he would
have found little or no reduction
from prices ofa yearagO. Yet there
was no demand for real estate and

10 note that such a change is taking

Us that he has made upward Of half
a dozen trinsfers during the last few
days, and that the indications point
toa revival Of the active buying and
selling, that was such an important
feature in this city a year or two
ago. In most Of the cases cited
prices held up well, and in one in.
stance the price paid was in excess
e the figures asked hast spring. We
hail with satisfaction this revival OF
activity IN real estate circles, as It Is

duction IN the prices Of everything

dent deductions from their rentals.
The fact Is tpo plain that one OF the
greatest evils Of the northwest Is
high rents. Il has the effect Of no.
only rrIppling those who through
nscesslty are compelled to pay rents,
but It drives away many good peo-
pie who are not in a condition to
build and who cannot afford TO pay
the prizes asked. Take the present
unheard OF hard times for example.
While money Is scarce and not a
business house In the territory, we
venture 70 say, Is making much
more than running expenses, vet
they are compelled to pay almost tho
s1mo rent as was asked during the
flush days. One never hears growl

handsome thing by easing up on

There has heen a slight reduction in
rents IN this city during the last few
months, but still In many cases the
prices asked are burdensome In the
extreme. This applies to residence
property as well as business houses.
II IS hard 10 make an individual re-
eeiving rents believe that he Is ask

During the last week we witnessed an
unusual phenomenon at this season Of
the year A long procession Of icebergs
has been passing our shores, slowly pur-
suing their southern march on the bo-
SON Of the arctic current, and we have
not yet seen the last OF these glittering
wanderers Of the deep Frequently
sixty or seventy were visible at the same
time from the top Of Signal hill. They
are Of all shapes and siEes-some lofty
and turreted, some dome-shaped or fat,
some having q series Of beautiful crags
and pinnacles A few were Of immense
siEe-low, fat islands Of ice. saw one
at the entrance Of Conception bay, near
Baccalien island, which was not less
than two miles in length. Another in
the same neighborhood was estimated 10
be over three-quarters Of a mile.
I One popularity Of them Wa That
they appeared to follow each other as
if arranged in a single line Of march,
but at irregular di5tanceA This is
accounted for by the supposition that
the bulk Of them are fragments OF an
enormous ice-mass which was seen on
tho Labrador coast some time ago. II
tho accounts Of two captains, who were
close to it can be relied on, this was the
largest iceberg ever seen in northern
latitudes. One Of the captains estimated
it 10 be fifteen miles in length and three
or four in breadth; the other made it
twenty miloA Allowing a margin for
tho excited imagination Of these worthy
skippers, this must have been an
astonishing island of ice.
As it did not make its appearance OF
our shores in its full dimensions tho
great probability is that it grounded on
some rocky ledge. By the action Of the
summer sun its joints had become loos-
ened, and by the rising and falling tides
and the force Of the waves, as it hung
on the ledge, great fragments were snap
ped of, and falling, one by one, with
sullen plunge into the waves, foated of
as ieebergs, thus in part creating the
lghostly procession which has been filing
along our shores for the past ten days.
All Of the immense group, however,
could not have had the same origin.
The oldest inhabitant' does not re-
member anything approaching to the ice
phenomena Of this year.
In ordinary years few icebergs are
seen after the list Of August But now
We have a huge feet Of them sailing past
in the middle Of September and chilling
our atmosphere. Since the beginning Of
February stream Of icebergs and does
has been passing at intervals. Some
great Ice movement must have occurred
in the arctic regions Of an unusual char
acteT to cause such an abnormal dis
gorgcment and call into existence the
vast ice argosies Of tho last seven
months. As a consequence, the supply
Of the NEXT few years may be compare
lively small, and we may have but fow
Of these mighty wanderers of the deep,
the arctic warehouses being temporarily
exhausted.

works are certain to be located. II
would be folly IN construct them
elsewhere. The cheapest and very
best Of power exists in this city, and
the case in which the quartz can be
conveyed to mills here favors such
projects. As soon as men Of capital
are convinced that the mines will
justify such an investment these re.
tiners will spring into existence. We
feel satisfied that few years hence,
among its many other manufactur-
ing Industries, that Of reducing crude
ores to shining bricks of precious
metals will be pre-eminently the
leading interest. Recently new
process by electricity for the refining
Of ores has been discovered which
promises to work a revolution in the
handling Of quarts. The system is
new and very little is known Of 1t in
the west. From descriptions Of the
process published In scientific Jour
nails, the electric refinery is just what
Is needed In a country where a num-
Der Of minerals exist in the ore ex-
tracted from the mines, and the
introduction Of refinery Of that de-
scription at Spokane Falls would give
