IDAHO TERRITORY.

IDAHO TERRITORY.
Idaho, since the early days Of min
ing stampedes, has not enjoyed the
reputation Of being in much better
condition than the state Of Nevada,
which has gradually decreased in pop
uIation since its admission as state.
But a small space was assigned to the
commissioner, Col. q. \. Stroupe, to
represent the territory, but he has, in
the most happy manner possible, filled
it with glittering specimens from an
hundred rich mines, with grains Of I'M
excelled beauty, with curious marvels
and a wealth Of furs, paintings Of its
grand scenery, and splendid specimens
Of fruit.
Among his specimens Of minerals
particularly noted for beauty and ex-
cellence, are quartz from the Wood
River and Salmon River district, pia-
ces and quartz specimens from the
Counr d Alene camp which last year
caused the greatest stampede in the
late record OF mining eXcitcments.
The commissioner says his territory
has been but slightly pr0sDectcd, and
he doubts not il an exposition is held
in the nexr ten year. he will be able
to represent the richest mines Of Am
erica with Idaho quartz.

Whaleb0ne.

The market price of baleen is exceed.
iingly variable, depending on the fash
ION OF the day. It is not so valuable
now as used to be the case some wears
ago. steel having superseded It for
many purposes. The price may range
from f5O0 to ESQ per ton, and good
whale ought to produce about two tons.
In 1914 single vessel sold her cargo of
baleen and oil for f9,568, but such
times are not likely to return. Miner
al oils have now supplanted train oils
TOT many purposes, and perpetual hunt
ing has diminished the numbers as we'll
as the size of the whales, no animal
having a chance of attaining its full d.
mansions before it is harpooned. Of
ten, nowadays, a whaling ship returns
'ciean," |. e., without having captured
single whale, so that. what with the
!essened prices and diminished num-
bers and dimensions of the animals,
whaling has become almost lottery
instead of a solid investment of capital,
and few shipowners care to run such q
risk. Furnished with it's wonderful
horny sieve, the Greenland whale has
no difficulty in procuring its food.
With mouth more or less open it swims
backward and forward through the
shoals of the Clio, which mostly are
found near the surface. The water es-
capes freely between the horny plates
and lining fringe, while the animals are
detained within the cage. When it
wishes to swallow the prey which it has
caught it employs its tongue, which is
not less remarkable than the rest of the
whales structure. The tongue is not
free except at the base, as with man.
mails generally, SO that it is impossible
for the animal to protrude its tongue
from its mouth. The tongue is fixed
by nearly the whole of its edge, so that
it can only be protruded upward. I
once had an opportunity of examining
the tongue of small baleen whale
which had been cast ashore. It was of
great size, smooth on the surface, and
l could not help thinking that it was
very like soft. well-stutfed pin cush-
ion. l pressed upon its center with my
fingers, and found that pit was form
cd which rapidly filled with oil. Then
l took hammer and pressed the head
of it on the tongue. The pit formed by
the pressure became deeper and larg-
CT, and filled so fast with oil that not
only was the whole OF the hammer sub
merged in the oil. but my hand and
wrist also. The ignorance which pre-
vailed in former days on this subject is
amusingly excmplified in the old docu-
ment which constituted the whale a
royal ''fish:" 1.-The King himself shall
have the head and body to make oyl
and other things, and the Queen the
tayl to make whalebones for her royal
vestments. VI. q. Wood, IN Long
mans Magazine.
The Dillon tribune., 1885-08-15

A correspondent wants to know why
people pledge each other before drink
ing. We are not sure. but we think
this is the reason: In the good old
days when cutthroats drank together
socially, each one made the rest prom
Use not to attack him while he was
drinking. Otherwise. while the head!
was thrown back in the act of drinking
some enterprising ruffian would be
strongly tempted to draw his weapon
on the exposed and defenseless neck of
the drinker. But even pledge didn't
always protect drinkers, and SO the
custom of blinking glasses and drink
ing together was introduced, in order
that all might be similarly engaged at
the same time and unable to use their
weapons.
