THE NEW REGION.

Now that through the exertions OF
Messrs. Maginnis and Toole the Black
feet reservation is thrown open, it is OPP
perfume to reprint the opinion which
Hon. Joseph Wheelock of the Pioneer
Prees placed on record regarding that re-
gion after careful observation. Mr.. Vince
lock is we'll qualified to speak on this
subject, for he has made the growth of
the northwest lifelong study. The
opinions which he expressed on the re-
sources Of Minnesota when he was con-
nected with the State government have
been amply verified by the remarkable
progress Of the North Star state, which is
great in railroads, bank deposits, facto-
ries, farms and stock. When he speaks of
the Milk river valley as resembling that
OF Red river he accords it high rank in
fertility and productiveness,fo that large
region has acquired continental fame by
its immense wheat crops and its adapta-
bility for mixed farming. Mr.. Wheelock
wrote as follows: ..-. m... ......

which the road ascends for distance Of
100 miles. A broad, thickly- erased plain
through whose deep black soil the river
cuts sinuous way through like the Red
river, and which to all appearance is as
fertile and as we'll adapted to wheat-rais-
ing as the Red river valley. The same
general aspect of remarkable fertility
characterizes the whole country to Great
Falls, where the Sun river flows into the
Missouri and drains an agricultural valley
which for many years has been the abode
OF prosperous settlement Of stock-rais-
ers and farmers for a distance of 60 miles
west Of Great Falls. The Milk river val
ley and the contiguous districts near
Great Falls are still better adapted to
agricultural settlement. But all this re-
glon, comprising an area as large as that
Of Indiana, and capable perhaps of sup
porting population as large as that of
Indiana is now, has heretofore been shut
against settlement by the fact that it was
an Indian reservation, and it is now occu-
pied by 2,7OO Indians all told.,'

Secretary Walker, author of "The Packet

news, needless of the great arrival. The
ex-governor who at one time perhaps
fondly hoped that he would be taken on
the shoulders Of stalwart men and carried
in triumph through the city, quietly took
hack and proceeded to his elegant west
side residence.
The Tribune was at loss to account
for this change of feeling until the indie
pendent interview shed light on the sub
ject. Instead of having secured the CAPT
tai and organized his company for the
purpose of building reduction works at
or near Helena, the governor comes back
and tells the expectant citizens they will
have to "put up" pretty liberallyto insure
the success Of the enterprise. He also
generously expressed the opinion that the
citizens would make up the additional
amount required. This way of building
a big smelter would dampen the ardor Of
almost any community.
Having disposed of the smelter in this
way, the reporter leads his victim to the
subject of Northern Pacific branches and
succeeded in getting the highly valuable
and important information that the gov
ernor is not at all conversant with the |
plans of the road. This is not the
way the governor used to talk
in times past when he return ed
from New York, fresh from con-
act with railroad magnates of high and
low degree. 1t shows that his relations
with the Northern Pacific are not what
hey used to be and that the rumors about
lis long stay in New York are probably
lot without foundation.

Observation-Disclosures

Il Correspondent of Science says
The Duke of Argyll in his "Reign OF
Law lays it down IN italics that ''no
bird can ever fly backward" He
mentions the hummingblrd as appear
ing to do SO, but maintains that In
reality the bird falls rather than flies,
when, for instance, he comes out of a
tubular flower But this morning,
while watching the motions of a hum
mingbird, it occurred TO me to test this
dictum OF the duke; and, unless my
eyes were altogether at fault, the bird
did actually fly backward. He was
probing one after another the blossoms
of a petunia bed and more than once,
when the flower happened to be low
down, he plainly rose, her than fell,
as he backed out of and away from it.
l stood within yard or two CT him, and
do not beiieve that l was deceived. 1t
may not be amiSs to addthat the Duke Of
Argyll's objections seem to be purely
theoretical, since the Reign of Law
was pub iShed in 1866, and it was not
till 1879 that the author came to
America and saw his first living hum
ming bird.

Full, Yet Room Enough.

"Why, my child, what do you mean
by saying that you cannot love both?"
"'Cause that's what the Sunday
school lesson SAYS; It says that I must
love God with all my heart, and there
isn't but one ALI to 10, so il l love
him with all, there won't be one bit left
for you"
Mamma laughed, and only asked
Fred TO come with her. Going to the
cellar, she quietly asked him to help
her I'LL large pan with potatoes,

mother, as she next took bag OF beans
and commenced to shake them into the

poured and shook until quart or more

4 New Kind of Toast.

One morning this week one of the
new Senate Committee clerks, a brand
new importation from New England
State, seated himself at a table in the
Senate restaurant and ordered some tea
and toast, ami his order was promptly
filed. As soon rs his eNpectant gaze
beheld the toast he declared that il was
not of the quality he desired; that he
wanted toast with holes in it." Be
ing IN doubt what was wanted, the
waiter reported the matter to the pro-
prieter, Mr.. Page, who, anxious to
please everybody, ordered the cook to
prepare another plate of toast. Ano-
ther order Of nice, crisp, buttered toast
was soon placed before the young clerk.
Then his indignation became very
apparent. lie sized the plate of toast
and went with il in person TO the pro-
prietOr and complained bitterly OF his
service, and declared that lie had twice
ordered ''tOaSt with holes in it," and
the waiter had brought common bread
toast both times. When asked 10 ex-
plain what he meant by 'toas. with
holes IN il, - he said. Like that which
Mr.. had for breakfast yester-
day. The waiter remembered that
Mr.. had been served with waf-
Ties on that occasion, and thereupon,
without further unnecessary delay, the
young man got his ''toaSt with holes in
IT.
What's in n name, anyhow?

The Marquis de Ferronay recem-
mends a somewhat novel method of
mixing the hypo and alum bath, his
plan being as follows: One litre OF
warm water is poured on a mixture OF
$50 grains of hyposulphate of soda and
40 grains of alum, the whole being well
stirred; piece of wood being more
convenient for this purpose than glass
rod. a small proportion Of sulphur Is
deposited, but after this has been re-
moved by filtration the solution is
ready for use, and IL is said that such
bath may be used more than hundred
times without being colored. AS the
fixing bath containing alum is more or
less liable 10 deposit sulphur, it is advise
able to filter it Immediately before use,
and In order to guard against the poss
ibility of deposit Of finely divided
sulphur remaining on the surface of
the negative. it is well to pass the
hand lightly over the film while the
plate is in the wash water. The alum
and hypo bath does not appear TO cause
the sulphuration of the image. and we
see no reason to suppose that negatives
fixed in the composite bath are likely
to be less permanent than those
which have been fixed in the simple
hypo bath.

The measurement of temperature l.,
as we all know, of extreme Importance
in various chemical and manufacturing
operations. The ordinary mercurial
thermometer will answer for every
purpose within certain limits but
when il becomes necessary to measure
the melting point OF different metals,
or the heat given out by different forms
of furnaces or lamps, the thermometer
must give place to an instrument of
another form altogether. Hitherto no
really satisfactory instrument has been
produced for the exact measurement
OF high temperatures; but Professor
TAFT, at recent meeting of the Royal
Society of Edinburg, statedthat from
experiments he had made with those
rare metals, Iridium and ruthenium,
he believed that he would be able to
form from them standard thermo-elec-
tric couple which would answer the re-
quired conditions.
