REPRESENTATIVE CLIFFORD of South
Dakota is reported lately in Washing

locks in the breezes and stating that his
state was for Harrison, Senator Petit
grew to the contrary notwithstanding.
The fact of the matter is, that the chances
of either party securing the delegation
will depend on local matters. Clifford
wants Pettigrew's scalp, and the issue is
likely to be made on the presidential

There is no question that, in common
with deaths, births occur more frequently
by night than by day. This question has
been often disputed, and was authorita-
lively decided by DIR. West, who kept q

with a result that they were found to have
taken place as follows: Seven hundred and

The jaw of an Otter.

You can find an example of natures
adaptation of the jaw to use in the case OF
certain carnivores, like the otter-a big
weasel that has acquired aquatic habits.
The jawsof such beasts are so fixed in the
sockets that dislocation is impossible In
some instances you cannot, even after the
animal is dead, separate the jaw from the
head. This arrangement is evidently de
signed to enable tho beast to bite to the
greatest advantage without danger that
the chewing apparatus will come loose

Violet Eyes and sapphires.

That tint of the eyes usually called
violet, which is blue in the daylight
and black at night, ought really to be
called sapphire, as the sapphire, which
is blue in the day, becomes black in
appearance when night shuts down ON the
world. Apropos of sapphires-among re-
cent discoveries-the Montana sapphires
are found TO be harder than any other of
the same stones and are found in every tint
of color known. In brilliancy they equal
the diamond, and, what is more unusual,
the stones are brilliant ut night, while the
ordinary sapphire becomes black at night.

under laws that gave an individual the
privilege of claiming whole townships,
IL he 80 desired, they took up less than
one fifth as much land as several COM
panies that haye been organized within
the past year. In an oil district prob
ably thirty miles in length, all their land
lies within five miles square. Although
the pioneers in the district, they have
not sought to herald its possibilities TO
the world any more than to join in any
matter of public enterprise. Year after
year they have done the assessment
work upon the different claims, and up
on some claims they have put down
Tdnep holes. All of which cost lots of
money, and not dollar in return, no
effort to make dollar off Of the public
when the opportunities were numerous,
no effort to acquire large tract Of land.
The explanation Well great many
people have been guessing for several
years.
There can be only one exclamation
Some years ago when Mr.. Coyle was
doing some assessment work, the drill
suddenly dropped, there was a roar and
a rush, and oil commenced TO spout
from the hole. Mr.. Coyle's long expert
ence in the Pennsylvania fields was
equal to the occasion, and the we'll was
plugged. But the oil that came isom
that well was pure. crude petroleum
the genuine stuff. He had struck a
"fssure," through which the oil from
the lower strata had forced its way
to within 20) feet Of the top Of the
ground. But why, during all these
years, has not the plug been drawn
Why has the doubt been permitted to
exist Simply and solely because the
eagle Oil Company did not own an acre
Of ground. Because in this district is
the first land ever patented under the
placer laws, and there are many tech
nicalities that must be settled by the
courts. Because the company could not
afford to let the world know oftheir dis
covery until they had secured absolute
title to their land. Now they are ready
to perfect their title. The summer of
1891 will reward them for eleven years
Of hard work, great expense and un-
faltering confidence.-Newcastle Journ-
