W J. Clough, attorney for the North
ern Pacific railroad, expresses the op-
inion that, Notwithstanding the recent
supreme court decision, purchasers of
laud from the road are under obliga-
tions to pay the taxes upon the land.
He says he has always entertained that
view, and has acted Herewith in his
own case. He further says:
might say in addition that in accord
ance with my advice the company began
the payment of surveying fees upon it's
sold lands two or three years ago. Pay.
ments have already been made upon
large quantities of such lands. There
would be no use in any of the holders OF
these lands trying to escape taxes levied
upon such lands while in their hands in
any event, because the payments of the
surveying fees upon all the sold lands
will be completed within the next ninety
days. The decision in the Trail county
case will hurt none but the speculators

OUR NATURAL LANGUAGE.-Af few years
ago a society of eminent men in Paris dis
cussed the question: "What language would
child naturally speak if never taught q
The devout Catholics were of the opinion
that the Hebrew language would be spoken
in these circumstances.
One scientist was of the opinion that some
form of the Chinese language would be
the natural tongue. Twenty different re-
suits were predicted.
At last it was decided to test the matter
and committee was appointed to carry ou'
the experiment.
Two infants were procured and put in the
charge of a deaf and dumb woman who
lived in the Alps, and made living by
rearing chickens and tending sheep.
The woman was given strict injunctions
to allow no one to speak to these children,
and AS her cottage was some miles distant
from any neighbor, the circumstances sur
rounding the experiment were very favor
able.
Years rolled on, and many ofthe members
of the society had lost sight of the interest
ing experiment. Some members of the
committee died, and there was great danger
of the results of this wonderful test being
lost to the world.
Fortunately, two Of the members of the
committee kept faithful watch on the case,
and when the children were six years old
brought them, with their nurse, into a meet.
ing Of the 'savants." Every member was
on the tiptoe of expectation as to the result.
Not one word could either of the children
utter; their only form of language was a
wonderfully good imitation of the growing
of cock or cackling of hen, or the bleat-
ing of sheep. The predictions of science
were totally upset by practical expert
ment.-Chicag0 Tribune.

THE WONDERS OF COAL TAR.

It was not until 1857 that the great value
of coal tar as a raw material was demon
strated. In that year Perkins discovered
its analine properties, discovery which
has almost revolutionized the trade in dye
stuffs. Perkins took coal tar naphtha, and
boiling it in retort, obtained a chemical ac-
ton which resulted in benZole and nitre-
benzole. Adding water to this, the nitre-
benzole wasdepositedin in the form ofa thick,
oily mass. This he experimental with in
various ways, and finally by the addition OF
acetic acid and iron filings, he produced a COL
orless fluid which is analine. This liquid ne
treated with different chemical salts, and
the result was green crystals with metallic
lustre. These he found were capable OF
producing under different chemical reac-
tiOns, the most brilliant gorgeous dyes-the
analne hues of the paint and dye trades OF
to-day. =,
"This discovery made the long-detested
coal tar a desirable product of the gas re-
torts, but it held still greater surprises.
From the light oil of the tar valuable nap
tha solvent for India-rubber was obtained,
and then the invaluable discovery OF car
bolic acid was made. How many people in
ordinary life know that this great disinfec-
tant is one of the products Of common gas
tar? After these properties were extracted
residuum, for which chemistry was puzzled
to find practical use. 1t was not until
1869 that any satisfactory result was obtain,
ed by experimenting with this refuse, and
then the great discovery of alizarlne was
made. This product was first obtained by
the German chemists GrRbe and Llbernann,
but Professor Perkins, who had developed
the analine colors from tar, was the first to
give practical application to the German
work. The importance OF this discovery
may be understood when it is known that
in the first ten years following the introduc-
ton of the artificial alizarine in the dyestuff
trade, it exceeded the total amount of natu-
raj alizarine, or madden root, that had been
handled in the trade previous to its intro
ducton. 1t was, if anything, superior to
madder, and so much cheaper that the saw
ing by it's use up to 1880 had amounted to
over $40, 900, 900. The discovery of alizarine
in coal tar converted 100000 acres of land
that had been used for growing madder
root into fertile fields of corn and other
cereals. With vegetable madder it required
nine weeks to perfect the dyeing of a mate
rial Turkey red. The artificial madder ac-
complshed the result in as many hours
Three years ago the chemist produced an
artificial indigo from the residuum of gas tar,
and, in connection with the analine dyes
and alizarine of the same base, it is rapidly
taking the place ofvegetable indigo. Later,
the naphthalene yellows and reds, with
which entirely new effects in colOrs were
made possible, were derived from coal tar
residuum. Chemists are stillexperimenting
with the tar products, and other important
developments will no doubt be made"

HOW SAVAGES COUNT.

It is very amusing to see the people OF
Kamtschatka attempt to reckon above ten,
for, having reckoned the fingers of both
hands, they clasp them together, which sig
nifes ten; they then begin at their toes and
count to twenty, after which they are quite
confounded, and cry "Matcha," that is,
"Where shall 1 take more?"
A Moravian missionary relates OF the
Greenlanders that they in counting pro-
ceed beyond twenty with great reluctance,
and generally apply to all numbers above
twenty name which means "innumera-
ble."
Parry, the great Arctic explorer, says OF
some tribes of EsquimauX that they require
to use their fingers to count as high as three,
and generally make some mistake before
they reach seven.
Many South American tribes are said to
have no more than four distinct numerals
and the consequent difficulty in understand
ing high numbers is we'll illustrated by a
statement of Humboldt, that he never met
an Indian who would not, ii asked his age,
say indifferently sixteen or sixty, not con-
scious that there was much difference be-
tween the two.
The following anecdote of South Amer
lean traveller, when out with party OF
ten or dozen Indians, asked one of them,
care we many?" eyes, we are many"
care we innumerable ?" "Yes, we are innu-
merable." 'That tribe" he says, "When
they wished to tell how many captiVes
they had taken were unable to state the
number, but would mark out space OF
ground and say there were as many as could
stand in it,"
The inhabitants of some West Indian Is
lands are said to eXclaim whenever num-
ber exceeds ten, GAS many as hairs of my
head" or GAS the sands of the sea-"
The Yancos, tribe dwelling near the
Amazon, have no name for any number be-
yond three, land lucky it is for those who
have to do with them," says the traveller
who records the fact, ''for their name for
three is Po-et-tar-ra-ro-rin-co-a a
word of ten syllables. Who can wonder
that arithmetic has not tlourished in these
lands?
