Rosecrans tract, near Los Angeles, the
workmen discovered a deposit of conch

A NEW motor, driven by the explo-
sion of small cartridges of guncotton,
has been produced in England, and is
said to be applicable wherever small

A PHILADELPHIAN went to a physi-
clan with what he feared was hope

lieved on finding out that the creaking
sound which he had heard ut every
deep breath was caused by little pull

OF 1862, 34S persons returned by the
census OF Germany in 1892 as engaged
in agri ultural work, 1890 $50, or
nearly million and n quarter, were fe-
males. The land of Bismarck still adj
heres to the old fashion of Harvesting
women to the cart and the pillow.
In 1920 two hills of an area of about
800 acres, of almost no agricultural
value, on the property of Lord Cawdor,
in Scotland, were planted with fir and
other trees, and after successive thin
nings, the sale of which real zed large
sums, the remainder of the wood was
sold off for 916,000. The sum real
lied for the wood on this waste land
during the fifty years is stated to be
equal per acre to the return from the
best arabic land in the country.
IT is not a pleasant fact to know, but
yet it is fact, according to Prof. II. A.
Proctor, that this earth is to-day as
likely to quake and overthrow cities
and towns as it has been at any time
since man existed. The conditions
within the globe which cause the dis
turbances are changing but SO slowly
that there is practically no difference
between what they were thousands of
years ago and what they will be thou
sands of years hence. Nobody would
have cause of surprise, therefore, if the
earthquake of Lisbon, in 1855, should
presently be repeated. Indeed, it seems
possible that great disturbances have
recently taken place, not on dry land,
but on land that is under the ocean,
and that the big wave at New Haven
and the shocks in Spain indicate the
limits of their extent.

Bench and Bar.

Stories on Edgar johnson, the law
yer, are collecting. On one occasion
he and another lawyer had consulta-
ton with Judge, and after hearing
part of the case the Judge offered
suggestion.
I'VE are agreed on that" said both
Of them.
The Judge offered another.
I'VE are agreed on that" they sang
out again.
The Judge came up with another.
I'VE are agreed on that"
Then the Judge hit upon a point that
was particularly twisted, and, nfter
puzzling over it. he said:
"Well, 1 don't seem to have any
sense ut all"
ave are agreed on that" blurted ont
Edgar, and paid for the drinks.
The next one is on Mr.. johnson. He
was arguing a case before Judge Storer,
and there arose some Interruptions, and
the talking became general.
There's too much talking in the
courtroom said the Court, warningly
and with irritation.
II haven't been saying anything. your
Honor" replied Edgar, taking the GEMS
ure to himself.
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. johnson.
responded the Judge, politely. ~butI
have peon aware of that fact for The
last hour or'more."
The argument closed shortly after.

The Hog Ate Dynamite.

A gentleman remarked: "Talk about
dynamite: 1 can tell you true story of
what nitro-glycerine once did in our
State. 1t was out near Prairie du
Chem, where they were blasting a cut
on the Prairie du Chem division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Road.
The contractor had several kegs Of the
stuff in an underground place. One
day workman went TO get some and
left the place open; by and by some
hogs came along, and one of them slip
ped into this place where the combusti-
BILE itself was kept. The hog found q
key open, and as glycerine is as sweet
almost as honey the animal filled him.

wandered into stable near by belong

fooling around among the horses hind

and gave Mr.. Hog q good one. Tho

not a vestige was ever discovered of the
hog, or o single horse, or the stable.
And where the stable once stood there
was hole in the earth fifty feet deep
and not more than 200 feet in circum-

I am doomed forever to be Miss
Archer?"
Orette only looked her surprise.
"Dear Miss Harrington, will you keep
a secret for me? am not lady. My
name is Fred Archer. My home is in
Washington. Becoming quite an expert
upon roller skates, 1 adopted these
tlashy costumes to make moro of SEN
sation, and if you do not reveal
my secret, am anticipating quite q
Irritation with our mutual friend and
lover, Mr.. ALI Whitman"
Orette colored little, but she smiled
also, and promised to keep Mr.. Arch
er's secret for him.
From that moment his time was d.
vided impartially between Miss Har-
rington and Mr.. Whitman.
ALI became very loverlike, and de-
clared his affection to be excessive. He
also oasted to some of the fellows that
he had "cut out" Ben Lands from
Camden.
This was too much for Mr.. Lands.
He nearly exploded with laughter,
and in his merriment the whole joke
came out.
ALI was nearly paralyzed, but he
managed to get away from the rink
someway, the shouts OF laughter sting
ing him like the cut of whip.
Next day he called on Orette Har-
rington and astonished her by making
her an offer of his hand.
He was refused decidedly.
He lost his temper and exclaimed
"That Archer is nothing but a poor
low scamp, who has crowded himself
upon society 10y his fancy skating"
"You did not think of that when you
thought he was lady, retorted
Orette.
That was enough; he left her. But
after a time that speech gave ALI hope
She was surely jealous or she never
would have said that He was prepar-
ing to offer himself again when he
heard some news. Orette was engaged
to Mr.. Archer, who had turned out to
be the son of wealthy Washington
gentleman. He had been visiting. his
cousin, Ben Lands, where, together
with the other young men of Camden
they had planned the joke which had
resulted 50 disastrously for Alf.-Chi
ca9o Ledger.

Soorsc Department.
Special Announcement.

THE REGISTER has been for many
years the recognized organ of the Nlerino
Sheep interest. rs it will continue to be.
Recently Horse Department has been
added which has been received with
great favor by our patrons. We now
propose to give special attention to this
new feature and to make this paper as
fully the organ Of the Morgan Horse in
terest as it has hitherto been of that of the
Merino Sheep. This department will be
under the supervision of Il gentleman who
has for some time been engaged in col
Letting and tabulating pedigrees and des-
criptions of stations that trace in direct
male line to Justin Morgan. This work
is being thoroughly done with view to
making it accurate, reliable and com
plete and when finished it will be pub
ished in book form. Many of these ped
igrees are now ready and they will be
published i'm the Horse Department of the
REGISTER. This will give opportunity
for full criticism and correction before
the final publication.
The Morgan family embraces the great
sub famlies of Black Hawks, Golddusts,
Morrils. Ethan Aliens. Lamberts, Knox
es and FcarnaughtS. They are dilluSed
throughout the whole country. and
wherever rOadStcrS swift and sure and
long-euduring are in demand. the "bcau-
ty. strength and activity" to which JUS
tin Morgan called attention almost a
hundred years ago spring up to meet
the call. The family have been brought
up by scientific breeding within the last
thirty years to much larger size and
higher rate of speed, with no sacrifice of
their surprising beauty and unrivallcd
strength and substance. For the ordina-
ry uses TO which horses are put in bust
ness life. it is generally conceded that
the Morgan is without an equal And
while it is admitted that III extreme
flights of speed in light harness for short
distances the MorganS have often been
surpassed by the descendants of MeSsen-
ger, it is we'll to recOleCt that the great
est living sire of trotters measured by the
number of his get in the } 80 list and by
far the greatest measured by the number
that have stood the more crucial test of
fifty races. is a Morgan. Also that the
two horses bearing the fastest records
ever won by trotting in harness, are
MOrgans.
We intend to furnish in this department
articles of interest and all current news
and information respecting horses of this
great family and to make il an object for
every person. interested in Morgan
horse. to have this paper. et!this de
partment will not be confined exclusively
to this family, but will give the leading
news respecting horses in general rs
we'll and will be conducted in a fair and
bipartisan spirit.

gated trotters which need nei-
thcr boots nor weights. They
are also free, cheerful drivers,
willing at all times to do their
best without stimulation from
the clash.
The services of Daniel Lam
bert's sons and daughters are
much sought for by intelligent
breeders. and will continue to
be so long as horses combiu-

in demand. From dams of
Black Hawk descent he gen.
orally produces animals com
biuing size with speed, beauty
and endurance. Nearly all his
sons and daughters from the
noted brood mare, Fanny Jack

plain and Lambertus each being
sixteen hands in height.
Lambert is now twenty-seven
years of age. but very vigorous
for Il horse of his years. and
bred to robust young mares
possessing the right strains of
trotting blood, may still pro
duce trotters that will eclipse
the performances of the best OF
those got in his early years.
The increasing demand for his
daughters for brood mares is
alone sufficient to make his ser.
vices in good request.
