DEATH VALLEY.
The Exploring Party Making Consider
-f able PROGRESS.

4 KEELER, CAL, Feb. 4.-Letters re-
Geived today from the Death Valley ex-
pedition, under date of January 25th,
report all well and the work progressing
as we'll as could be expected. No ex.
treme heat has been experienced, the
highest being 81 degrees in the shade,
but with hot north wind this was
quite uncomfortable. Professors Bailey,
Nelson, Dikeman and Coville, who were
camped ut Benefits wells at the time OF
Eriting, started south on the 26th. In
1heir march south they stop at Saratoga
springs long enough TO investigate the
peculiar species of small fish reported in
that water. From Saratoga springs they
pass north into the Funeral mountains,
where they will thoroughly investigate
The flora and fauna Of the section.
Prof. Dikeman rs putting iorth his best
lhofta to determine the greatest depres-
Hon in the valley, which has been vali-
.4uBly reported at from few feet to PIP
bet below sea level. He intends running a
Inc through the low area to determine
HE lowest points, If 1t can possibly be
Accomplished. Endeavors to reach some

&S0ved iyitile, and IL was only by alter
nately riding h0feeback and walking
that anything could be done, the ground
in this section being covered with a
white etfioresence of alkali, looking
solid, but man and beast mire in it, rem
dering the work very difficult. Lieuten-
ant Burme, of the Wheeler expedition,
while engaged in similar work, was COM
PEELED to abandon his animals and climb
out as best he could.
After completing the work assigned
them in Death Valley the expedition
will proceed to Mount Whitney and con-
tinue other work in that vicinity during
the spring and summer. They expect
to return here during the latter part of
March.

Custer massacre that Miles and his SOL
diers rushed in upon an Indian village
in Montana. and shot down every man,
woman and child in it, without mercy.
There were between 200 and 800 Indians
killed. The village being far from tele-
graph, information Of the horrible affair
was not received until after the Custer
massacre, and then, of course, the pub
lie mind was occupied with the Custer
massacre, that no attention was paid to
the previous massacre Of Indians"
After speaking Of the breaking Of
treaties, Beaulieu said: 'The Indians
throughout the entire northwest are
collecting facts regarding Miles out

the government everywhere to keep

and presented to the paying teller a
check for $500, signed by Colonel John
S. Mosby. The signature was perfect,
and the teller was about to pay the
amount over to the man who presented
the check, when he happened to remem-
ber that Colonel Mosby's account at the
bank was less than $500. He took the
check and walked back to President
Hellman's Office to see whether he
should pay over the draft. The man
seeing there would probably be difficulty
about the payment Of the check,
promptly left the bank and has not
been seen since. Colonel Mosby was
communicated with, and he informed
the bank officials thas he had drawn no
check on them today. The matter was

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Director General
Davis, of the worlds fair, says if the re-
port of Candler's committee is adopted

no provision for the director generals

local directory. This he will not sub

Told BY Old SOPs Face.

The most pronounced effects orr 6
,olar disturbance are felt as it appears
by the suns rotation cn its axis and as
The disturbance crosses the suns mer-
dian. The six and q half days be-
tween appearance by rotation and mer-
idian passage are marked by storms,
auroras, heat or earthquakes. After
meridian passage the storm influence
Of solar disturbance appears to cease.
In this use of the word storm all the
other phenomena are included. All
are kindred. When solar disturbances
follow each other in rapid success ion
The storm period is prolonged. The
affects of solar disturbances which
break out on the suns hemisphere
aIrned towards us produce sudden and
powerful effects in our atmosphere.
Storms known as cloud bursts have
been most frequently noted in connec-
ton with these sudden outbursts on the
SUMS face. As rule the marks of
solar disturbance cannot be seen until
the storms on the earth cease. The
spots form after the storm-producing
sIuptions.
Tornadoes arc more numerous dur
n g periods Of violent solar agitation.
Tsae number and violence Of tornadoes
nce directly propordoned TO the num-
FER and violence Of solar disturbances.
Observations made during the past
winter and spring show that solar dis
.urbances are in some cases not marked
oy spots until month or two after
:he eruptions begin. Fifty-two days
after the great storm Of Jan. 9 and 10,
1889, spots appeared by the suns rota-
ion. Spots also appeared by rotation
dfty-two days after the great Samoan
aurrican of March Is and 16, 1888,
which wrecked several men-of-war in
the harbor Of Apia. This disturbance
IN the sun was followed upon reap
pearance on May 20 and 80 by the
foods which wrecked Johnstown, Pa,
and drowned Williemsport, Pa.
When solar disturbances become OBJ
,cure, their storm action can be traced
5y counting the twenty-siX day period.
The solar disturbances which caused
severe and widespread storms during
.he first eight months of 1889 are now
obscure, spots being rarely seen. But
here is evidence of some activity at
he seat of the disturbances. When
,ver violent action Is resumed, our
atmosphere will be vexed In proper.
ion to the violence on the sun.

Very Literal Obedience.

"People are always making fun Of
AS Russians for taking things so liter
ally" said a Russian major in whose
company Mr.. David Ker was ascend
ing the Dnieper; sand not without
some reason, must admit. You re-
member that story you told me the
other day about man who had china
cup given to him as the model for q
complete set, ,and finding that it had been
cracked and mended turned out the
whole set cracked and mended in the
very same way? Well, l could find
you half a dozen men in any Russian
town you like who would do tie same
thing themselves"

"though 1 doubt whether they would
carry their literal obedience quite so
far as did the American printer who
was told to follow his copy and when
the copy few out of the window
jumped after 1t and broke his Leg
"Well, 1 can match even that"
laughed the major, much amused.
"Did you ever hear how the telegraph
line between st. Petersburg and Pet
erhof was left unoficered? Well, you
know, before the electric wires were
laid, we used to telegraph In the old
fashion, by signals, and all along the
Peterhof road there were signal Sta
tons, planted just within sight Of each
other, and at each station a clerk, with
strict orders to repeat exactly any sig
nal made by his right-hand or left
hand neighbor. One day the first clerk
on the line, in fit Of despair at having
lost all his money, hanged himself on
the nearest telegraph post. His next
ueighbor, seeing this, took It for Sig
nal, and instantly strung himself up in
like manner, and the end Of it was that
all the clerks on the line hanged them
selves in regular rotation"
"Well," remarked his companion,
''that's no worse than the story of the
order sent from Peking to the authori-
lies Of a great Chinese town, command
ing that q certain native merchant
,hould be 'hung up in his counting
aouse;' and then, after his execution
somebody discovered that the words
sbould have been translated suspended
