STRANGE STATE or AFFAIRS

STRANGE STATE Or AffAIRS
The Laramie Republican, has made the
startling discovery that the new land law
would be an admirable thing but for
the fact that it has repealed the pre-
emption and timber culture acts. We viii
agree with the Laramie paper if it will
add the further fact that the desert act Is
Just as good as repealed After this
point has been reached what Is left tor
the poor settlers The other fellows
have doubtless got all they want and
their only desire is 10 be left in undis
turbed and u~ndisputed possession Of what
they " and the thousands Of acres which
they have fenced and used but do not
own.
The new law possesses many adyant-
ages for those interested in corporations, >"
says the Republican. for instance, Tor
the City # Laramie; and for the cattle
men interested in keeping the ranges
open. To the main body Of the people,
in Register Grants estimation, it is detri-
mental and he thinks i: will all be
changed by the next congress. Filings
were coming in every day under the pre-
emption and timber culture act, up to the
time the new law was enacted
1t is all very consoling, of course, to
learn hat the new land law will work to
the advantage Of the corporations. As a
rule tho corporations are crushed to earth
in this happy land Of ours and If our
representatives in congress can help them
out in any way it is perhaps just what
they ought to DO. There are a great many
people, however, who are very vigorously
Of the belief that the corporations do not
need any pampering at the hands Of
congress. They generally take everything
in sight, so that any smoothing Of the way
by congressional action seems TO be
altogether superfuous.
ButIfit is really true that the new land
law will work to the advantage Of cor
porations, as we believe it will, Is il not
significant that o one Republican news
paper in Wyoming has vet raised It's voice
in protest against It's passage or in criu
cism Of the law itself On every hand,
in the Republican press, we see attempted
cxtenuation Of the act, downright knav-
cry in discussing it or hopeful
expressions that the coming congress
will undo the evil which our W
congressional delegation almost broke
their necks in achieving 1t is n
strange condition of affairs indeed when
the state is stabbed in the house Of its
friends and one class Of the community
say nothing but take their medicine and
try to look cheerful

The negro ~Sankurru, who has been
Mai Won Wissmann's companion and
servant for many years, was baptized Il
few days ago Mt the parish church of
Lauserberg. SankuITH was liberated by
Wissmann from the hands of a slave
dealeri in 1884. He visited Lauterberg
in 1887. When the major went to Ma
deira in the same year to recruit his
shattered health Saukurru enlisted rs u
soldier in DIR. Volts expedition to the
TongOland.
In November last he returned a second
time to Germany, with the intention of
joining Wissmann, 10 whom he is de
votedly attached, upon his mex journey
10 Africa. He expressed a wish to be-
come a Christian, and after regular in
struction by Pfarrer Spanuth, of Lauter-
berg. he was baptized in the presence Of
a great congregation in the parish
church, before whom tho negro made
his public confession Of the faith. The
sister of the imperial commissury stood
as one of his sponsors. Three days after
his baptism the ardent negro followed
his master to Africa. Pail Mall Gazette.

There is a good deal of danger in
these gas and electric light fixtures"
said n practical electrician to me the
other day. Il mean in the kind which
are used for gas and electric light in
combination. OF course it is convenient
TO have the gas all ready for use if the
electric apparatus gets out Of order, and
in theatres and public institutions the
joint fixtures are particularly useful, no
doubt. But l think where the double
fixtures are used in hotels or private
houses the taps ought to be made con-
]spicuously distinct; in fact, it would be
well to have the gas tap screwed up
while the electric light is being used.
The other day two actresses came
mighty near being suffocated in a Pitts
burg hotel through the double fixture
trap. When they went to bed one of
them tried to turn out the electric light.
She did turn a tap, but it didn't shut off
the light. Then her companion got up
and turned off the electric light. But
the first girl had turned on the gas when
she thought she was turning off the
electric light. Result, two Young women
in a state of asphyxiation next morning;
would nave been dead had not their
room been very large. 1t is a mistake
likely to occur, and those who have
double fixtures should take are in
time. '-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Tue physicians and o~culists of Find
lay, O., are greatly puzzled over the
case Of Jennie Sutton. From the right
eye of the girl fifty-four pieces of broken
glass were taken by DIR. T. c. Fritch.
These pieces Of glass have been coming
from the eye of this girl for the last
month, and only Friday DR.. Fritch re-
removed every evidence of glass in the
eye and announced that all were taken
out. The next day she came back and
had ifty-four more pieces removed. The
girl is n domestic in the family OF ex-
County Surveyor Stringfellow, whose
wife has been taking the particles of
glass from the girls eye for n month
past. 1t is estimated that over 100 pieces
of glass have been taken from the eye
since the case first attracted attention.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS VALUABLE.
Rev. NJ. J. Savage says Gen. GreeIy's
Torecasts Are Nearly Always KIght.

Kew. NJ. D. savage says ten GreelNs
Forecasts Are Nearly Always Right.
In spite of the fact that l often hear it
said that the prophecies Of the weather
bureau are generally wrong, the records Of
1880 prove that they We're correct more
than 81 per cent. Of the time. And most OF
the misses meant only that the predicted
change Was a little earlier or later than
the time set. Now, considering the ca
pactty Of New England weather TO nutwit
the wisest prophet, l submit that this is a
most remarkable record, In the Office at
Washington examined large map OF the
United States. in which were SpeCk pins or
pegs, indicating all the stations from which
reports arc constantly received. These re
ports cover force and direction Of the
winds, barometric conditions, temperature,

after It has gone a little way il strikes a

meut Of uncertainty not usually taken into
account But II people are going to inter
fere with the matter in this way, Of course
they have no right to complain OF any fail
ures on the part Of the bureau.
But, leaving this one side, a little careful
thinking will show how exceedingly diff
cult IL Is to forecast IA matter so uncertain.

One Of the incidents of a hard and
long continued frost is the ~suffocation Of
fish and cells in small ponds where no
thoughtful person has broken holes in
the ice to permit the aeration of he
water which is necessary for the con-
tinuance of fish life. When ponds are
thus Theoretically sealed, cells appear to
suffer more than any other fish. On a
hole being broken they come to the sur
face il a half dying condition and are
easily caught. At Diglis, near Worces-
ter. "A number of cells have been caught
in this way, the instrument Of capture
being n pair of blacksmith's tongs.
In the pond at Dulwich an enormous
eel has been killed. The water was en-
tirely covered with ice, and a hole being
made a great eel came TO the surface.
It appeared to be in a comatose con-
ditiOn, and was taken out without much
difficulty. It measured 3 feet 0 inches
in length, was II inches round the
thickest part and weighed 0 pounds.
But. though cells, along with other fish,
suffer from insufficient aeratiOn of the
water in small ice covered ponds, there
is no doubt that they are peculiarly
susceptible to cold as well.
There are several instances Of cOnger
ecls being washed ashore in great num-
bers during the continuance of severe
frosts, their air bladders being tightly
distended. In 1871 great quantities of
cells were killed in the River Lagan by
the frost and loated down to the quays
at Belfast. There are, however, in
stances Of cells which had been literally
frozen and quite brittle reviving after
an hour or so spent in a tub of water

1T SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

- NN
In the Sun of yesterday we find the fol
lowing:
THE LEADERS, outburst against the
new land law would have had more dam
aging effect if the paper had not pub
lished the text Of the statute. Every
vexed settler who read the law rejoIced to
know that there was now a prospect of Sc
curing a patent to his timber culture or
desert land claim.
The LEADER published the text of the
new land Law SO that the people OF Wyo-
ming mzkht know exactly what their rep
r~esentatives have done and what the West
may expect from the present ~administra-
ton. 1t was published so that a parallel
might be drawn between the pretense and
performance Of the Republican party in
Wyoming. 1t was published as news
in the full knowledge that the
Republican papers would not have
the manhood to give it to their readers,
knowing that 1t must necessarily reflect
either upon the public character or com
mon sense ofthe men who so outrageously
misrepresented the sentiments of their
constituency 10 congress. THE LEADER
seeks no condemnation of these men
beyond what their public acts justify. As
part OF their work this paper submitted
in black and white the land law. 1t is a
matter which no longer needs any argu.
ment. 1t carries with it on It's face Its
own condemnation and it is very doubtful
it newspaper or personal palayer will ever
suRar-coat it sufficiently to make the desc
palateable to the settlers stomachs.

FOODS OF THE FUTURE.
Nuts One of the Most Naluable-Large Re-
 turn, from Their Culture.

Q Learned men or the present day are much exercised about the kind of food nbcf;saiy to ptoduee the greatest amopet6 6f muscular health and strength, says Yiekis Maggslzine, and nuts of all kinds have been pronounced by them par. excellence as an article of diet. Resides the beauty If nut trees and the gaStrpy homie utility of their fruits, nut planta- tiops seem to be rapidly making for tunes for those who have been sage enough to invest in them.
 Chief Van Dieman, of the department of agriculture, predicts that the culti- vation of nuts will soon be one of the greatest and most profitable industries in the United States. The large returns from individual trees and immense profits from established orchards have stimulated the interest, and our fores most contemplating fruit growers are planting nut trees largely for market purposes; others who enjoy nuts during the winter are realizing that they may be had in abundlnee for the mere trouble of planting
 The pecan is the nut of the future, Mr. Van Dieman thinks, but he fore casts large returns from walnnts, chest nuts, pine and hazelnuts, almonds, H. berts, etc. "A grower in Florida has now grove of four thousand pecan trees six years old; whom they begin to bear their product will be worth, one hundred thousand dollars yearly at wholesale" But this is counting chick ems too soon. 'C. H. Daniels, of Georgia, has pecan tree which bears annually from ten to fifteen bushels of nuts, which sell readily at wholesale for four and five dollars per bushel." Col. Stuart, of Ocean Springs, Miss, who has made wide reputation as a successful cultivator, says: @
 'I planted those large paper-shell pecan nuts when was fifty-scveny years old, and now, at sixty-nine, I tell you they help me to live. got one hundred and seventy pounds from one tree last fall, sold one hundred and five pounds for one hundred and five dollars, and planted the remainder of thcni, and have raised 8 fine lot of young trees, which are for sale. Pecan culture, planting the very large nuts, consider one of the safest and best-paying in. duStries man can engage in" This combined cloud of witnesses and figures certainly does make orange growing and tobacco growing seem much less tempting,
 The pecan forests In Texas furnish large quantities of oceans to the markets of New Orleans, whence they are shipped to Europe, where they are said to bring higher price than any other nut.
