The sz,zrasion of yvh5ies.

For the lase six weeks or So whales have been coming out of the Arctic ice, and have been msk- ing their way south. h the winter season there are nc whales in the Arctic Ocean for the good reason that they cannot live there wien the water is frozen over so that there ste no breathing sr6ces. A considerable number are supposed to die every year by being caught under ice so thick that when they come up to breathe they cannot break the ice. Frequently dozen or more whales may be seen in small areas of open water sur rounded by ice where no ship can go, or not without greater perils than ought 10 te encountered. Just where all tie Arctic whales winter has long tseE a mooted question. They are found all along tho coast of California dur ing some of the winter months. But their breeding grounds are the lower ia;i.udes, as at Magda- lena Bay and in the shallow bays of the lower Mexican coast. It Is probable that some go down as far as the Central American coast. All the right whales seen along the coast do not et:ter the Arctic, al- though it would seem that the greater number do. Many are found in the s0n'mer season in the Okhotsk Sea and along the coast of Siberia. The right whale seeks out his summer feeding grounds in high latitudes and seeks out breeding grounds in low attitudes. This annual migration and rettfn is counted on with the s5aeit certainty. As many whales come out of the Arctic inautumn as enter in the spring. These facts govern the operations of the whaling fleets Hence, after the Arctic whaling season is over, many ships discharge and reft at once and go down the coast preparatory to a later cruise in high attitudes. 1t several points along the. coast, m this State, there are shore stat ions, where a considerable number of whales are caught as they go up and down the coast.-San Francis co Bulletin.

John D. Miles of Lawrence, Kas. formerly Indian Agent of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, the Sd instant consummated in St Louis the purchase of tract of land iH Mexico 160 miles long and six miles wide. He bought 1t for Il syndicate, and the price IS said to be SS00,000. The Rio Bravo Land < Cattle Company are the settlers The company consists of five St, Louis men and three residents of Ell Paso, Tex. They secured 8 ninety nine years lease to tract of land 160 miles long, beginning at point fifty miles from Paso del Norte on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande and extending down the river parallel with its course.
 This lease was held by Ignatius Macmands, a Mexican, as without a concession from the Government and previous to the putting in force of recent legislation no foreigner could own property ID fee or otherwise in Mexico. It IS now permitted foreigners to hold the absolute title to land in the Republic within limit of twenty leagues of the boundary-in what is known as the free zone. On this law going into effect Judge Charles Davis of Fl Pasn, Texas, a stockholder of the Rio Bravo Land & Cattle Company, went to Mexico and q month ago secured from President Diaz concession which gave tho company an abso- lute title 10 the tract The stock holders, with the exception of Mr. Rankin, then went to Fl Paso to see the property, and hare it was discovered by several of them that others were negotiating to sell tho whole tract to Miles. The conces- sion permits tho damming of t!s Rio Grande to irrigate tho proper fv

Mercury.

There are only four localities where mercury or quicksilver can be found in abundance. These are California, Austria, Almaden, Tn Spain, and Peru. The mines in the last mentioned place were dis covered IF curious manner. Gin nabsr, the soft red rock Of which quicksilver forms a part, when ground very fine, makes beauti- ful red paint. The Indians used this to ornament their bodies on great occasions. This caused the country where they lived to be ex- amined, and the cinnabar was found. The Romans used this hundreds of years ago in decora- ting their images. It IS of great value now, in our times we call it vermillion. The other part of the rock, of which we have spoken above, is composed of sulphur. The cinnabar is crushed and ex- posed to heat, when the quicksil- yer, in form o: vapor, passes into a vessel suitable for the purpose, where it is cooled. Then, being reduced to it's liquid state, it is pure and fit for use. It is then very largely employed in separat- ing metals from the rocks to which they cling. The rocks are crush ed fine, sifted, and washed until as much of the gold and silver is removed as possible. Then it is placed in a bottle with the quick silver, which seems to absorb it at once, separating it entirely from every particle of sand or rock. If the metal to be cleaned is gold, you will see yellowish mass of a sort of paste or amalgam. This IS heated, and the mercury or quick silver, flies away. leaving behind it pure gold. Although mercury is so useful in many ways, it is al so deadly poison. and its vapor so dangerous that, in the search for it, many persons have lost their lives. Not many years ago the mines of Austria took fire, and l. 300 workmen were poisoned, many of them dying in consequence; and the water used to quench the flames, pumped into the river near by, caused all the fish to die. Mer- cury is carrled abous in sheepskin bags and cast-iron bottles. It is so heavy that an iron stopper is screwed into each bottle.
 The people need no protection from the officeholders 80 far as the control of public opinion is con- cerned. Several times in the his tory of our politics all the power and patronage of the Federal ma chine have been applied for the purpose of securing renewed lease of power, and the people have decided against the machine and tho party which controlled it. The voters outnumber the office holders 100 to one, and they are fully as intelligent and as inde- pendent as the officeholders. Why should the majority of 100 fear the minority ot one.Dsnver
