The Concort.

Decidedly the best musical entertain
ment ever given in Medicine Lodge
was the concert Tuesday evening.
for the benefit of Prof. Wager's band.
There were sixteen exercises and not
one, even, was commonplace or poorly
executed. The audience was not large.
owing to the inclemency of the weather:
but what it lacked in numbers was
more than made up in the matter of
intelligence and appreciation. Through
out, there was the best of attention, and
not even one sound of disorder. 1t was
in pleasant contrast to the two last en-
tertaiDments in the Opera House. Fol-
lowing is the programme, as rendered:
Overture. ."Silver BelI'-Prof. wagar's band

Why there are no WATERWAYS in
Ireland.

In an interesting article on the water
rat, by Mr.. Grant Allen, in the EnqhSh
Country Gentleman, the writer discusses
the question why certain animals, such
as snakes, vipers, WATERWAYS, ETC., are not
found In Ireland. For the real solution
of the problem, he says, we must go back
to the time when England, Ireland, and
the Continent were united by broad
belt OF land across the beds of the Eng
lish Channel, st Georges Channel, and
the North Sea. 1t is now an ascertained
fact that in the very latest geological
period, known as the glacial epoch, the
whole surface of the British Islands lex.
cept an insignificant strip of the south
coast) was covered from end to end with
a deep coating of glaciers, like that which
now envelopes all polar lands, and while
this condition of things prevailed there
were, OF course, no animals of any sort in
all Britain, or, at any rate, none but a
few Arctic types After the ice melted
however, the existing British fauna, such
as 1t Is, began to occupy the land, and
the fact that it did so is one proof, though
by no means the only proof, that com
munication with the Continent then
existed across the bed of the North Sea.
Now, the animals only pushed their way
very slowly into the newly-ceared re-
gion as the ice melted away, and the con-
sequence is that only some forty kinds OF
mammals out of the whole European
fauna had penetrated as far as England
before the gradual submergence of the
lowland belt separated it from the Con-
tinent by forming the inclosing arms of
the sea-
But Ireland lies even further west than
England, and there is reason to believe
that st. Georges Channel had all been
flooded some time before the waves of
| the Atlantic broke down the last link be-
tween Dover and Calais. Accordingly,
Ireland never got her fair share of land
animals at all, for though the wolf and
fox and the Irish hare and many other
quickly migrating creatures had time to
cross the intervening belt before the sub
mergence, several smaller or slower crea-
lures, including the vipers, did not get
over the ground fast enough, and were
thus shut out forever from the Isle of
Saints. And that is the reason why Ire.
land to this dav has no water-rats.

Bell Not the Inventor.

Mr.. A. e. Dolbear writes to the .Scten-
tyjo american from College Hill, Mass.
There is phase of the telephone con-
troversy which I do not remember to
have seen referred to, namely, that Prof
Bells title to his telephone patent of
1876 is at best only legal, which so in
terpreted has been sufficient 80 far for his
purpose. 1t is not true historically that
he was the inventor of the first speaking
telephone. Leaving out ali that Refs did
and said about his telephone it is nc
where denied, and is everywhere be-
heved, that Yates, of Dublin, did make
and use telephone, which for substance
was identical with the caveat of Gray,
and which Bell himself used for his first
success in speech Transmission. Yates
experiments did not happen to be pub
lished, though there were and still are,
several witnesses TO their success, and the
instruments have been produced in a
London court. Therefore, if it be al
lowed for the arguments sake that Refs
did not transmit speech, it cannot be al
lowed that Yates did not and hence, if
Refs was not the inventor of the first
speaking telephone, Yates was. This is
simple history, and is not subject to legal
bubbles. Happily, there are no legal
prioritles in matters Of history.
Admitting the necessity for q law as
to priorities in invention, and even adj
hitting It's applicability in this special
case on account of the lack of publica-
tion Of Yates work at the time, it still
does not in truth follow that Prof. Bell
was the inventor Of the first speaking
telephone and though he holds legal
patent, it is only upon technical grounds,
and officially it is neither Just nor hon
orable that he should be considered the
inventor Of the fret speaking telephone. "

Of time, stationary. Heis either advanc-
