A GOOD deal Of home rule nonsense is
being INDUCED in by some Of the Terri
torial newspapers over the appointment Of
Chief Justice from the States. The
people Of the Territory would have been
satisfied with the appointment Of Hon.
Ed. Wells to the position, but they know
that had he received the place 1t would
have been after long delay caused by
these same home rule advocates, and the
experience Of the past few months has
disgusted the majority Of our citizens,
and they are satisfied with the present
appointment and hope that speedy con-
Gruation win be made. Judge H. C.
Gooding is an able lawyer and has been
district Judge in his native state, and is
held to be m upright man, an impartial
Judge, and Of undonbted integrity. The
people of the Territory will have little or
No fault 10 find with the new Chief Just

only ones who now object to his appoint
ment, and they only are to blame for the
loss Of the Office 10 Hon. Ed. Wells, and

hold their peace Tor little vt2s.

THE general result Of the census viii
be made known In short time after il ID
taken. Robert p. Porter, the superin-

to give close estimate Of the totals
twenty days after the census b taken.
The law requires the work TO be done be-
tween June and June 80. The making
up Of the totals will be done with electric
computing machines, which do in five
hours work which formerly required
6fty-Hve hours, With these machines
and the force Of clerks in Washington,

The potato is one of the most important
of cultivated plants, and In universal cul-
tivation in temperate parts of the globe.
1t Is native of mountain districts OF tropi-
cal and sub-tropical America, probably
from Chill to Mexico, but there is some
question as to where it is really indigo
nous Humboldt doubted IL IL had ever
been found truly wild, but subsequent
travellers of high scientific reputation ex-
press themselves thoroughly satisfied.
Maize and potatoes are the two greatest
gifts which America has given to the rest
of the world.
The potato has been cultivated in Amer
lea and its tubers used for food for time
long anterior to the discovery Of America
by Europeans. IL seems to have been
brought first to Europe by the Spaniards
from the neighborhood of Quito ia the
Sixth century. No more important
event Of this kind has ever taken place
than the introduction of potato culture
into Great Britain and other European
countries. IL was long called ''batatas"
or sweet potato, which is the tuber or plant
meant by English writers down TO the mid
die Of the Seventeenth century. 1t appears
to have been brought to "lreland from Vir-
gina by Hawkins in 1866, !" "and to Eng
land by Sir Francis Drake in 1872

Tear out the heart of a human being
quickly and it will continue to beat for
some seconds after 1t has been parted from
the body. A frogs heart will pulsate for
twenty-four hours after 1t has been taken
from the batrachian. Ignorant persons
suppose this to mean that the heart Is
still alive, and their notion is very natural.
But the fact is merely that there are in
the frogs heart certain groups of move
ment nerves, called motor ganglia,"
which keep on agitating the organ until
they are starved out by want of nutrition,
though no actual life is present There
are motor ganglia in the human heart
also, but they are not SO strong in their
action.
When the flesh of turtle is cut up in
pieces for stew the scraps continue to
culver for many hours. The popular no
ton is that the turtle is so tenacious Of ex
istence that it keeps on living, though
chopped up. In reality the fragments Of
the motor nerves in the flesh, stimulated
by cutting, keep up an automatic move
ment. Galvanism was accidentally dis
covered through the chance contact of al
electric wire with frogs leg on Galvinii
table. A human being dead for quite /
while may be affected in like manner b,

Uranus was discovered by Sir William
Herschel in 1881. The other planets then
known had been observed ever since men
began studying the stars. Herschel,
sweeping the heavens with his reflector,
came upon an object that he knew was not
a fixed star. In day or two it had moved,
and he announced the discovery of comet,
for no one dreamed of the existence of an
other planet. 1t was nearly year before
its claim to be a planet was fully estab-
lished.
The excitement c-lused by the unlocked
for event was very great, and honor and
fame were IIerschel's reward. King
George Ill knighted the discoverer. en-
dowed him with a pension and provided
him with means for constructing the
forty foot reflector with which he after
ward discovered the two inner satellites Of
Saturn. II was found by reckoning back
that several other astronomers had made
observations on the star, but had not dis
covered its true character.
Little is known of Uranus, the smallest
of the four giant members of the system
making its slow circuit round the sun In
eighty-four years, at a mean distance OF
eighteen hundred millions of miles. Their,
are indications in its spectrum of dense
atmosphere, its disc is fattened at the
poles and faint bands or belts are visible
on its surface.
The satellites Of Uranus are an unsolved
problem. Herschel discovered two satel
lites in 1887, and announced the discovery
of four more in 1913. No other observer
has ever seen them, although the younger
Herschel made diligent search for them
with a telescope similar to the one used by

Somehow you never realize the great
bigness of this world until you are stretched
out on a steamer chair and look at the vast
expanse of water all about you. It makes
you feel as you never felt before, how little

wonder how many times that great mon
ster, the deep, has taken into its arms
women who are happy and those who are
not, little children who are loved and great,
strong men who had thought nothing
