The problem with scientists is quite open as to the cause of the red color of the planet Mars. Astronomers, as rule, venture a guess that vegetation on that world is red instead of green. This is not at all absurd as supposition. Our own planet must have decidedly red hue to observers during the brief season of autumn coloring. But this is not all of it. All foliage and all bark are rendered perceptibly redder as winter approaches. The young wood of trees is redder in win ter than ill summer. Is our own world net slowly but surely developing rosier hue? Some punches arc deep crimson all winter, but green all summer. It is evident that cold weather requires the comparative withdrawal of green, and the comparative predominance of red. As the world grows colder is it not growing also redder? Mars is known to have colder climate than our own, and has probably gone farther in it's floral adaptations tc the cold.-Globe- Democrat

Where Are Theebaw's Treasures :?

The name of Theebaw, formerly king of Burmah, has almost passed into oblivion so far as the general public is concerned. It has been revived in England, however, owing to an inquiry as to what has be- come of the treasure once possessed by Theebaw. When Mandalay was captured by Sir Henry Prendergast, in 1885, Thee baw's palace contained booty valued at twenty lakhs. Theebaw was permitted to take away with him a few valuable articles, but the larger part of his fortune was seized by the English. And now, after an interval of three years, certain inquisitive Londoners are wondering what became of the rich spells which fell to the conquerors. York World

A Tale from the North.

A tale comes from the far north, above the Arctic circle, that mammoth carcasses are found frozen in the ice, and that the Indians chop them out and feed the meat to their dogs. These carcasses are as well preserved as if killed but yesterday, although they have lain for who knows how many thousand years in solidly frozen state. Undoubtedly these animals existed'coeval with the glacial period and were indigenous to tropical climate; therefore we must reason that this period came on almost instantaneously, all liv- ing animals were killed by the extreme cold, and before their flesh could putrefy 1t became frozen.-Juneau (AlaskaJ Free Press.

Strike in .:se Golden west.

NIT. August Well, president of the Golden West mining company, whose property is located at Casa Grande, Ar izona, received letter dated August 22, from Superintendent Chris Loss, which contains news of great impor- tance to the stockholders. In his let ter the superintendent says: q have just returned from the mine and found that Johnson has made a very impor- tant strike in the Golden West since leaving here. He ran cross-cut from shaft No. } and cut ten feet of fine ore that I think is richer than anything we saw, and is a fine average ore, run ming pretty well in silver. 1 shall make some assays this evening and send you a sample. l must say that upon second examination l found the ore much richer than I expected l will say now that we have a vertible bonanza. l have let contract to Johnson to continue the cross-cut to the hanging wall, or as far as the ore goes, then to drift cast and west on the ore fifty feet. giving us 100 feet in length and thirty feet to the surface to stope out, and think the orc body will be at least twenty feet wide The cross-cut is in ten feet, and ore on the face. Will write you again in q few days and send samples of the last strike. Johnson furnishes everything and assorts the ore at $9 per foot Will send the contract to the company in few days" ."-St. Louis Globe Dem Ocrat

The Houses of Abyssin

The Abyssinian houses are small and circular with roofs going to point, and are mostly built of bamboo or cane and only rarely of wood. As rule, the peo- pie do not care for living indoors, but prefer to spend their tinie in the open air, sleeping on the ground wrapped in a skin or rug. The men are hardy, warlike, cumulative and rather cruel Their usual arms are a lance, a broad sharp sword, and shield of rhinoceros hide.-St. James Gazette

Total

The total vote in the coming election will not vary much in the aggregate from the foregoing, and while some of the precincts will give far less vote this year the difference will be added to a few of the larger ones. Two or three precincts will be discontinued and not more than one or perhaps two new ones established. The several candidates can figure from this ex- hibit the number of votes they must secure in each precinct and then they can apply themselves to the task of securing that quota, with margin of thirty-three per cent for breakage.

when there is plenty of it, fer use
later in the season, when it is
scarce.
At Deans ranch at Granite Creek,

! WAsliINGrcN, December, 16.-In

Department for necessary appro-
priaiions for the Government the
Item providing for surveys for irri-
lxation IS omitted. Senator Stew
art called at the Office of Major Pow
ell, Director OF the Geological Sur

omission. Major Powell being alb
sent in Colorado investigating in
person tie subject In question, the
chief clerk OF that bureau informed
the Senator that an estimate of $3.50
900 had been made and was sur
pr,sed taat il was not in the books

called ON Mr. Villas, Secretary of the
Interior, aud WAS informed that the

Major Powell and the Secretary are

Great Veins.

storms Follow tho Course Of
| Great Veins.
| On Thursday morning, when
signs of storm were so apparent
that everybody was busy around a
woodpile. an old staxer remarked /:
"This is just what ! said it would
be. 1 have noticed that storms on
this side of the mountain follow the
mineral belts. When . high wind
starts anywhere around Mount
Davidson, it follows the course of
the Cemstock down past Shaw's
Springs and round the hills North
Of Carson to Lake View, and keeps
on until it wears itself ont in the
low valleys OF Washoe. l have
followed a gale of wind all tho way
from Virginia City to the head of
Mill Creek canyon, just to prove
the correctness of my theory-that
the Comstock lode is q continuation
of the big Manton vein at the head
of the canyon, and l can walk on
the Groupings more than hundred
miles. That's why l know that the
Csmstock runs right through here.
No two peas were ever more alike
than these two veins, and there
must be some sort OF connection be-
tween them, for if they have a
storm in Virginia City we never fail
to catch it two or three days after
ward"
The Virginia papers = few days
ago reported high wind, ftful and
gusty, such as usually precedes a
protracted storm in high attitudes.
They were received here on Wsd-
nesday's mail, and bets were made |
that there WOULD BE- q storm in !
forty-eight hours, though no signs
of bad weather were noticed at the |
time. Sure enough, on Thursday
the predicted storm was on
hand-not much of one, however,
but the forerunner OF fercer ones
to como before long. All through
last Winter, without q single ex-
ception that we noticed, every time
hey had STERN in the vicinity of
Mount Davidson we got it here in
rom two to four days, but invariab-
y from the South. There may be
in this worth the atten-
ion of Signal Service officers
