Springs, January 18th, give the pereon-
as follows: Professors Palmer, Fisher,
Dikeman and four assistants, eleven in
all, with seventeen animals; Professor
Stevens of San Bernardino being unable
to join the expedition until later in the
season. The party left Lone Willow
Springs on the 18th, intending to sepa-
rate after entering the valley into part
les and camps as follows: Professors
Palmer, Coville, Fisher, and Funston at
Furnace creek, near the north end on
the east side OF the valley. Professors
Bailey Nelson and Dikeman at Benefits
wells, situated about the center Of the
valley and very close to the line of the
greatest depression from the sea level.
After remaining at Benefits wells long
enough to investigate that locality,
Prof. Bailey and party will start south,
skirting the southern end of the valley,
thence up the east side to Armagosa
desert. About the same time Prof.
Palmer and party will push on north
ward, both parties eventually meeting
at the oasis. Each party will be met
at intervals by supply wagon, which
will secure the necessary provisions at
Daggett. each party only carrying enough
to last until the eiwagons can get around
again to avoid overlooking their field
transportation. The party will travel
sixty miles from Lone Willow springs
before reaching water again. Facilities
are at hand for carrying two hundred
gallons, e4ough for three days, which
will enable them to reach water in the
valley. The naturalists expect to ae-
complieh the valley in about six weeks,
after which they will declare war on the
mammals ia the Funeral and Panamint
mountains. Great success is reported
in their undertaking thus far, many
rare specimens having been secured in
Pandmint valley.

Wit and Satire in Wills.

One might suppose that will-making
was anything but a merry occupation,
and yet the drollcry of the wills that
some eccentric old fellows have left be-
hind could hardly be surpassed. Dean
swift could not have concocted a more
bitter joke than that of the testator who,
after rcciting the obligations he was I'M
der to particular friend, bequcathed to
him, at the bottom Of the first page of
his will, ten thousand-dollars, of.
course. thought tie delighted legatee /;
but, on turning the leaf, the bequest
was discovered to be ten thousands

expectations"
Just as odd was the codicil of the
death stricken humorist who left to GER

of land as shall be found equal to the
area enclosed by the track of the center
of the oscillation Of the earth in a revolu-
ton round the sun, supposing the mean
distance of the sun to be twenty-one
thousand six hundred semi diameters OF
the earth from it," This was a century
ago; and as the problem could not be
satisfactorily worked out, the legatees
were kept at mean distance from tn,

table poison was not made, and there
was no evidence on thatpoint presented

State Officials Interested in an AL

The petition of Edward E. Hall. of
Duluth, for the perpetuation of certain
testimony to be used in a suit to be in
stituted against Robert Jamison, of
Minneapolis, and others, for the recov-
cry of valuable mineral lands in st.
Louis county, yesterday came before
Judge Egan on motion to dismiss pro-
ceedingS. The evidence sought to be
perpetuated is that of:
Gov Merriam, State Auditor Biermann,
Robert Jamison, Tams Bixby Henry W.
Childs Andrew Irwin, William Fl. Angel,
Robert c. Elliott EvaId E. Biermann, Au-
gust Anderson, Leonidas Merritt, Kelsey d.
Chase, William O'Muleahy. Richard II. l..

Robert London and Timothy E. Byrnes.
The motion to dismiss proceedings
was made by Judge Koon, of Minneap-
oils, who represented Jamison. Assist
ant Attorney General Childs represent
ed others interested III the case. The
motion was made on three goundS.
One, that the notice to take the testi-
mony was not signed by Judge Egan,
before whom it was taken, and was
therefore defective.
Two, that the petition did not show
the necessity of taking the testimony.
as it was not shown that the witnesses
were liable to die or remove beyond the
jurisdiction of the court.
Three, the petitioner resides in st.
Louis county, where the lands we're To-
Gated, and the court here had, there
fore, no jurisdiction.
Judge Baxter, who appeared for Hall,
argued the necessity of proceeding to
take the testimony whilst the matters
are fresh in the minds of the witnesses
In reply to a statement made by Mr.
ChiIds to the effect that the proceeding
| is not known in practice by the legal
fraternity, although authorized by the
statute, MIR. Baxter said he had awaited
himself of the proceeding before, and
| jocularly remarked that the city law
| yers were behind the times.
Judge Egan took the matter under adj
visement, remarking that the taking Of
| the testimony would be labOrlOuS anC
long-continued. He stated that ques
| ton arises as to the necessity of the ties
| of the judge hearing the testimony
| without having the power TO rule on The
admisslbiiity of testimony. The cour
would be merely an amanuensis, and hi
could see no limit to taking the teSti
mOny.
Quite number of state officials were
present at the argument of the motion
