Talking with a prominent engineer, he
said; Scientific invention runs In gro owes.
Electricity has unquestionably been the
great development of the past twenty years.
While nothing is impos lille, l think the
limit Of electrical invention has been reached.
Applications Of the inventions already made
are engrossing attention In that direction
the great problem is power. 1t is a singular
fact that since the discovery of steam and its
application as a motive power there has
been no great invention in steam. Now that
inventors are applying themselves to entend-
ing the electrical inventions, they find
cheaper motors necessary. You will sec that
inventive genius will improve steam making
by revolutions as wonderful as any that have
taken place in other branches of scientific
Investigation. What discoveries will be
male | cannot predict, but ! believe the next
step in scientific progress will be in that
direction.

l0AIANO AAtAAlu 4tuulcIs -
A big man, arrayed in bearskin hat and
coat, walked uneasily up and down the ro-
tunda Of tho Grand Pacific the other evening.
After a little he fell in with two natives, and
when a few commonplace had been ex-
changed, he observel:
"You don't seem to nave no fun in this
town Why, out In Big Coyoteville, where 1
live, there's high stepping on the part Of all
the citizens before this time o. night Here
I've been Looping up and down this hall for an
hour and things ave been getting quieter
every minute. I'm lonesome for Big Coyote
and I'm mourning for the boys. kin see
iem all now, and l know just what they are
doing. Jim Pickitt's place is in full blast.
Arkansas Bill is behind the bar, aud Long
Bidderman is dealing, while old man Perkins
with a gun is on the lookout There's Limpy
Jones, Platte River Bob, Blackshasty Bill,
Tom Turner, Hairy Hank, Niobrara Nett o.
ton, Omaha Jim, Cheyenne, Sitting Bull,
Jennison and Texas Williams, all drinking,
playing and fighting and having fun. Maybe
some tenderfoot strang err is within the gates,
and, IL so, how they are setting 'em up for
him, climbing him and walking all over him
Oh, that's the place whore good old-fashioned

for them, but nobody here takes any interest
IN me. There is such a thing as reciprocity,
do you understand, and sociability, and all
that sort of thing, but Chicago don't seem to
nave any Of it"
The natives took him out after awhile, and
when he arrived at the armory three hours
later in n patrol wagon, his new-found
friends gone, his head bloody. his pockets
wrong side out, and a powerful perfume OF
alcohol on his breath, he said to the sergeant
in charge;

book, boss, that Big Jake Byington is in

ever supposed was to be had here. have

me out just say the word, and in the mean
time don't let 1t escape your memory that
I'm enjoying myself every minute.n

WASHINGTON. Jan l9.-In response to
requests from the committee on rivers and
harbors, Gen. Newton, chief engineer,
submitted a report to-day on Capt Ead's
proposal to improve Galveston harbor.
Gen. Newton says the proposed contract
is entirely one sided; that while it provides
for a depth of thirty feet of water over the
bar no particular width of that channel is
stipulated and that the contract could be
carried out by not making it over two feet
wide. Newton also finds that an undue
proportion of the contract price is payable
for the earlier stages of the work which
might make it desirable for the contractor
to throw up the job before its completion,
and finally that il gives undue power to
the contractor over navigable water.
