Scientific Views Of its Formation and

common presence of the hydro-carbon oils
and water, and this without limit OF
quantity or prospective exhsusiion. The
whole body of this carboniferous strata
abounds in free olls, and in hydro carbons,
which constantly change their forms by
further refrigeration or oxygenation, or
both. The dense liquid form becomes
thinner and il exposed to the air II chang.

presence Of water the resulting gas is the

by the boring and extracting of petrole-

Chinese EdIiOrs.

The life OF Chinese journalist is n
happy one. He is free from care and
thought, and allows all the work of the
establishment TO be done by the pressmen
The Chinese compopitor has not yet arriv-
ed. The Chinese editor, like the rest of
His countrymen, is initiative. He does
not depend upon his brain for editorials,
but translates them from all the contem-
poraneous American papers he can get.
There il no humorous department in the
Chinese newspaper. The newspaper Office
has no exchanges scattered over the floor,
and in nearly all other things it differs
from the American establishment. The
editorial room is connected by ladder
with hunks on loft above, where the
managing editor sleeps, and next to il is
invariably, room fitted with an opium
bunk and layout. Evidence of domes-
tic life are about the place-pots, kettles
and dishes taking up about az much room

Visitors at the Office of the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs are usually
attracted by a unique portiere which
hides a recess in General Atkins re-
ception room. 1t is, in fact, gor-
geous Indian blanket, which was spun
and woven from wool raised on the
Navajo reservation. 1t was forward
ed to General Atkins by the Indian
agent at that point. The letter which
accompanied the blanket begged the
Commissioners acceptance OF the pres
ent as an evidence of the writer's per-
sonalregard. Ina postscript the agent
expressed the hope that, although q
republican, he might be permitted to
continue his present duties, as the
place was very congenial one. Il
may be doubted il General Atkins up
to that time had given the mans re-
moval serious thought, but this at
tempt to bribe him was too obvious
for the grim old Roman who controls
the destinies Of the Indian Bureau to
overlook He accordingly directed
that letter couched in these words
should be sent to the gentleman -
SIR-The blanket you sent me I
shall accept on behalf Of the govern.
ment. l shall all soaccept your resig-
nation, to take effect within one week

Judiciary Committee was only an
attempt TO stave off decision till
the close of the session. The sit
ting member for Puma was a fraud
on his own evidence, who had got
into this house by deliberate viola
tion of the law. If the house was
willing to allow a man who was an
acknowledged fraud to hold his seat,
then he wanted to 60 on record as
opposed to it.
Rep. Dole claimed the two resolu-
tions were distinct. The first one
was grounded on communication
from one of the judges of the Su-
preme Court to the house. This one
was based on decision Of the full
bench of that Court, confirming
judgments of two lower courts, and
on petition from electors Of Puma.
The effort to shut out the resolution
looked as If some members desired
to retain member in his seat in
violation of the law. On the first
occasion the excuse was that it was
premature, because there was no
petition from electors Of the Dis
trict. Now members were appar-
emily bound to fight the matter off
in any way. 1t was like game of
thimblerig; no one knew under which
cup the pea would be found.
Rep. Brown argued against the
point of order, the two resolutions
being dissimilar.
Rep. Keau spoke at length on the
main question, with an allusion to
the point of order, but his remarks
were not Interpreted. He was called
to order several times, but held the
floor and was given an extension of
time.
Rep. Palohau supported the point
of order. If they sent Mr.. Kekoa
home, he had drawn his $500, and
the new member would draw another
$500, so that the District of Puma
would have 1000, twice as much
as any other District.
Rep. Kaunamano asked for the
ruling of the chair.
The President read the two reso-
lutions, and decided that as the
intent of both was to declare the
seat vacant, and the former one had
been indefinitely postponed, the
present resolution could not he
entertained.
Rep. Dickey moved suspension
of the rules for the purpose of con-
sidering the resolution.

of the day, which carried.
The President announced that,
according to the resolution of this
morning, the act to extend the term
of commissioners of boundaries
should be taken from the table.
The bill was accordingly read a
second time, passed to engrossment
and ordered for third reading on
Saturday.

for recess till 1:15, which carried.
