The Kansas CITY Court Not Recognized.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 25.-Private
Secretary Halford said in response to ques-
ton that the decision of the Kansas City
court i'll the Cherokee strip matter would not
in the least effect the determination OF the
president to carry out the executive order to
remove the cattle by the 1st of December.
The order will be executed and the cattle
removed if they have not already been taken
out by the cattemen themselves on The date
indicated. The fact that damage suits may
be pending does not effect the matter in the
least SO far as the executive order and the
purpose of the administration are concerned.

You Can Hear Anything.

NEW YORK, November 21.-It was reported
on what appeared to be good authority that
Sidney Dillon will be the next president of
the Union Pacific railway company.
Mr.. Dillon and his friends are said to con-
troll 100000 shares of the company. This
would seem to indicate that there was more
truth than fiction in the report that Jay
Gould and his friends had obtained complete
control of the road.
The report that Jay Gould has obtained
contlol of he Richmond Terminal is true.
Rumors are also afioat that he has secured
control of the Atchison, but these rumors

Camille Elammarion says: TO what
unexpected discoveries would this
supreme effort of your great nineteenth
century lead? This is a question
which it is impossible to answer, but
we have the right to dwell on the word
unexpected" 1t must not be forgot
ten that it was when searching for the
limits of the colors in the solar spec
trum that Fraunhofer discovered spec
trail analysis, and that it was while
seeking the parallax OF the stars that
Sir William Herschell discovered the
orbits of double stars, and it was when
seeking for Asia that Christopher
Columbus discovered America. In any
event, such telescope will enable us
to see for the first time the seventeenth
magnitude stars. which must be scat
tered over the depth of heaven in a
carpet of 818,0OO,0 900 stars while the
moon will be brought, SO to speak,

OF farm products have suspended
many farm improvements. and have
even caused much greater economy in
keeping up appearances. As result

OZOniZed Milk.

An Italian Investigator. Professor
G. Tolomei, has been studying the
we'll known phenomenon of the sour
ing of milk by thunderstorms, and con-
cludes that it is due to ozone. When
electricity was applied directly to fresh
milk the souring was delayed, sweet
ness being retained from six to nine
days, whereas portion of the same
milking not treated with electricity
was distinctly acid on the third day.
The electrified milk coagulated exactly
like ordinary milk. and not like milk
that has been boiled. Milk exposed
to the ozone of Holtz electrical ma
chine quickly became acid, and coagu-
lation was also produced in few
hours when stream of oxonized oxy-
gen was passed through the milk. 1t
was evident that the ozone caused tho
milk to sour, and Professor Tolomei
supposes that oxygen promotes Tactic
fermentation.

Suryiyals of AAtrOlOgy.

Owing partly, no doubt, to the neceS-
sity for reckoning time by changes in
the appearance and motion of the
celestial bodies, and partly to the in
teresting and extraordinary nature OF
those changes, the phenomena OF tho
heavens have entwined themselves
of mankind in every cline and age;
but it is worthy of note that, though
wonder where man may. the same
heavens remain in view, the supersti-
tions to which their phenomena give
rise are almost infinite in their variety.
Assuming that this variety is due to
difference of climate country and race,
as we'll as to inequalities in the rate of
progress from barbarism to civiliza-
ton, it is reasonable to believe. that a
collection of folk lore with regard to
the heavenly bodies would throw light
on the history and idiosyncrasies OF
nations, for every superstition which
found place in that collection would
be typical of country, race or an
intellectual condition. The persons to
be entrusted with the duty of gather
ing materials for such work should,
whether professed students of folk lore
or not, be at least intelligent and
judicious observers. The WORK itself
should be a record--comprehen
systematic and explanatory as
trological survivals current in all
chimes at certain given epoch. Such
a record would be first step toward
what might not inaptly be termed u
science of human superstitions. 1t
would not only be an aid to historical
and ethnic study. but would materially
advance the work Of general education,
for by dissipating groundless errors
and fears in connection with celestial
phenomena. it would elevate and purify
religious feeling. OF Ameri'

Origin OF Hospitals.

Ceylon, King Pandukabhayo estab-

of his successors; in the second century
b. c., founded eighteen different in
situations of the kind. each with
medical staff and the remedial agents
of the times. The Buddhist king.
Asoka, had, about the year ESQ B, c.,
hospitals for both man and animals.
Many other hospitals-now unknown
were doubtless established at an early
period, but the London Lancet con-
cludes that their work was much less
important than that Of the hospitals
which developed in Rome and else
where as the result of the spread of
Christianity.
