The Vital Functions.

It is well understood that the vital
functions are more or less processes of
combustion, and are subject to laws
similar to those which regulate the
burning OF coal in our ireplaces. We
are apt to put on too much coal, or al
low the fire to be smothered in ashes.
The child pokes the Gre from the top
to make it burn faster; but the wise
man pokes 1t from below to rake out
the ashes and allow free access of OK

Of life, only that these being less un-
derstood, many a mar acts in regard to
them as a child does to the fire. The
man thinks that his brain is not acting
because he has not supplied it with
sufficient food. He takes meat three
times a day and beef tea to supply it's
wants, as he thinks, and puts in a polk

Carnot as a Carpenter.

The President of France is a first
class carpenter, and can handle tho
saw and plane as well as any mechanic.
It was at Chabanais, in the Charente,
where his father possessed a chateau,
that he learned the .-srade. Carnot,
senior, insisted that all his children
should learn some occupation; there
is no telling" he used to say; ''you
may want it some day, for we live in
strange times So Carnot, junior,
was put to the bench, and, according
to his professor, one M. Delarge, who
is still living, acquitted himself most
h~onorab1y. In memory of this event
in his career, M. Sardin, who was an
apprentice at that time, but is now q

ROCKETS IN STORMS.
Distributing Oil Over Large Stretches OF
Water.

Distributing Oil Over Largo Stretches OF
Troubled Water.
The patent for an improved method
of distributing Oil on a stormy sea. in~
vented in Germany, has been purchased
by the Norddeutsche Lloyd Steamship
Company. -
A rocket, to which is attached a
cylinder filed with oil, comprise the
main part of the patent.
When a heavy storm arises on the
ocean, and the ship is in danger from
the waves, the rocket, it is said, can
be fired SO that the oil in the cylinder
can be distributed at any point the
navigators wish.
Several very interesting experiments
have been lately made by the captains
of the Nord-deutsche Lloyd steamships
during storms on the Atlantic. They
go to show that the rockets can be 90
fired that the oil can be distributed
over from 1000 to 5000 square feet OF
troubled water.
On one occasion recently o rocket
was fired a distance of over 1900 feet.
Again, when in a nor'wester, another
rocket was fired in the teeth OF a gale
a distance of 900 feet. BY the explosion
| of FIVE rockets at a distance of 1900 to
1900 feet from one of the lord
deutsche feet, a space of 1000 to 5000
square feet of water wasAcovered with
the oil, and the heavy notion of the
sea Gained.
Experiments are being made with ar
eye to the Improvement of even this
patent.
1.-THE Importance of this invention
to ocean Sailors said one of the firm
of Louis Contanseau, of the Bordeaux
Steamship Line, consists in the GER
tainty of explosion of the rocket at
sufficient distance from the ship tx

a gale.

THE EAST AND WEST.
A Very Nice and Delicate Question In
Ethical Geography.

A Very Nice and Delicate Question In
Ethical Geography.
If there is, as legend says there is,
such a thing, seen through Western
eyes,, as an "effete East" what are It's
precise territorial limits? In other
words. where does such an East really
end and the West begin? Or, to state
it still differently, at what point on the
map may one, ifsso disposed, put ones
finger confidently down and say:
s.Here is the spot where the effeteness
of the arrogant East abruptly ends,
and in it's stead is the unexpended
fecundity of g. liberal, untrammeled
West?n While the matter is not one
that will, apparently, in the imme-
date future give rise to serious in
ternational complication, it is. never
theless, of no little domestic moment,
and may, at some distant day, even
call for State interference and adjudl-
cation at the hands of a boundary
commission, to be chosen from the i'm
partial outlying districts in the ex-
IRENE North and South.
In reality, the problem of g~eograph-
ical separation would be one extremely
difficult to solve to the complete satls-
faction of all concerned. 1t is, for in
stance, not merely a broad question
between Maine and Oregon, between
Eastport and Portland, or even, pos
sibly. between New York and San
Francisco. On general grounds, 1t
might be admitted that somewhere in
the Intervening space the line would
certainly fall. On a somewhat closer
examination, however, it will be found
that facts other and more minute than
mere latitude and longitude must De
seriously taken into consideration. II
NAV even be not unfairly assumed tina
the fundamental idea of East and West
itself is only relative, and can not be
thus recklessly applied. Schenectady
where Daisy Miller lived, is west o
JERSEY City; and we all know that Osh
kosb lies far to the westward OF kala
mazoo. If, in the inquiry thus set Oh
foot, the reasons for the necessar,
distinction were still more closely in
ouired into, it might even be show
that they who have thoughtlessly use
the epithet in question themselve
may fall under it's ban.
When the division is finally made
it must be wholly irrespective OF an,
mere sectional prejudice, to which j
, should rise superior. The West, i
may be supposed, will accept the jude
, ment ioyfully; while the East, fror

Interesting Arabic Theories Presented In
the Form of a Legend.
In a series of interviews now being
given out by many of the turf men OF
Kentucky much difference OF opinion
exists as to the effect color has over
speed and bottom. One says n color
and one says another, the dark bays,
however, having the call, with the
dark chestnuts next.
In this connection some interesting
Arabic theories upon the color Of the
horse are given in an anecdote in a
new French book just published in this
country. Ben Dyar, a renowned
chief of the desert, happening to be
pursued one day by Saad-elZenaty,
traned to his son and asked: What
horses are in front of the enemyP
White horAs.' replied the son. Iti is
well; let us make forathe sunny side,
and they will melt away like butter.
Some time after Bepe Dyar again
1 turned to his son and said: tWhasS horses
are in front of the enemyP' Black
horses cried the son. IL is we'll; let
as make for stony ground, and We
! shall have nothing to fear. They are
| the negroes of the Soudan. who can
| not walk with bare feet upon the fints.
| He changed his course, and the black
| horses were speedily distaneed. a
| third time Ben Dyar asked: And now

Dark chestnuts and dark bays. in
that case,' said Ben Dyar, strike out,
nv children, strike out, and give your
horses the heel, for these perchance
might overtake us had we not given

We imagine that the experienced
observes of the civilized turf viii

Fishing Troubles at Florence.

Meyer & Kyle, proprietors of the
Florence cannery, and the Fisher
mans protective union, of Siuslaw
have not been able to agree OH the
price of fish during the fishing season
An informant states that the cannery
proprietors offered so cents for large
fish and 30cents for small fish, while the
union demands 60 and 40 cents
A short time since Meyer &
Kyle imported number OF
Columbia river fishermen and
started them to fishing last week.
Members of the union thereupon
went in boats, compelled the occupants
to desist fishing, took up their nets
and piled them in their boats. Mr..
Kyle one of the proprietors came out
to Eugene, Monday to secure protec-
ton in the matter, but We learn the
authorities would do nothing with
out warrant being issued. Attorney
Geo. A. Doris started down Wednes-
day morning to render legal advice in
the premises.
From J. r. Sloan, who arrived from
Florence Wednesday night, we learn
that everything on the river is quiet
but no fishing is being done. He says
the river is full of splendid large
salmon which can be seen jumping OF
every side. 1t is to be hoped that the
matter will be settled amicably.-E1L
