CROFT QUITS HIS JOB.
The Land Commissioner Has a Row With
Noble and Resigns

Ihe Land commissioner Has a Row With
Noble and Resigns.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., March leland
Commissioner Croft will probably retire
before long. He has been dissatisfied
ever since he took the office For one
thing he objected to having his
legal decisions reviewed by Secretary
Noble. Nearly every land commission
er in the last four years has had fric-
tor with the secretary of the interior,
but there is no way of getting round the
fact that the commissioner is a subor-
dinate official, and his decisions are
subject to review by the secretary. 1t
is stated that the controversy between
Commissioner Croft and Secretary
Noble has become q steady one, and on
this account Judge Croft has placed his
resignation in the Presidents hands.

Some interesting observations relating
10 the surgical treatment of wounds by
birds were recently brought by NJ Fatio
before thu Physical Society of Geneva.
He quoted the case of the snipe,
which he had often observed
engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers 1t makes a
very creditable dressing. applying plas-
tiers to bleeding wounds, and even Sc
curing broken limb by means of a
stont ligature. On one occasion he
killed snipe which had on the
chest large dressing composed
of down taken from other parts of the
body and securely fixed to the wound by
the coagulated blood. Twice he had
brought home snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on to the site Of the
fracture Of one or other limb.
The most interesting example was that
of snipe. both OF whose legs he had
unfortunately broken by a misdirected
shot. He recovered the animal only on
the day following. and he then found
that the poor bird had con-
trivea to apply dressings and
il sort of splint TO both limos. In carry
ing out this operation some feathers had
become entanGled around the beak, and
not being hbie to use its claws TO get rid of
them, il was almost dead from hunger
when discovered. In case recorded by N.
Ma1nin, a suipe which was observed to

qnently found 70 hive forced the fraR-

RURAL AND URBAN POPULATION.

In general summary of the eleventh
census two facts must strike the most
careless observer: That, allowing for the
vastly increased immigration, the rate Of
native increase has declined more than one
third, and that the increase in city popula-
ton is beyond all precedent. Great as it
is, the census figures do not show it in full,
because in the bulletins so far issued the
Office has only included cities of 5000 and
upward. Even thus the urban population
has gained from 2257 per cent. in 1880 to
90. IL per cent. in 1890, and if all incorpo-
rated cities were included it would appear
that nearly or quite one-third of all the
people of the United States live in cities of
5000 population and upward
Along with this has gone decline in the
rural population in large sections without
parallel save in rare instances of war or
famine, or such wholesale repatriation AS
that of the Irish in 1850 The following
table shows the growth of city population
from the first:
