Our Voting Population.

The enumerators have returned
their lists to County Court Clerk
Hammer from eleven districts in the
county, as follows: LIST, sos; 4th,
124; 9Th, 1870; 9th, $40; 7th, 100; Sth,
259; 9th, 3O5; 10th, 179; 18th, 1875
18th, 1876; 18th, 25l; or a total of
1888 for the eleven districts. 1t is
evident that the enumerators in
several of the districts given have
done their work in very careless
manner, as the enumeration in two
or three of them as shown above is
less than the vote polled last Novem-
Der. 1t will require a close and full
enumeration of the remaining four
districts to bring the total up to 5000.
The enumeration ten years ago was
30l5 for the county. The lst district
shows a gain of III in the ten years.
The enumerators in several of the
districts should be required to add the
omissions to their lists, as otherwise
Warren county may lose her repre-
sentative in the Legislature, and be
tackled on to some other county in Il
floteral district.

Death Of ". L. SteGbIey.

Mr., VIM. l.. Steakley, ST., died at
his home in the 9Th district. of White
county, Tuesday night, Feb. 18th, of
pneumonia, superinduced by la
gippe. Mr.. Steakley was well known
all over this county, having been
sheriff of the county for four years.
The sudden announcement of his
death was shock to his many
friends. He moved from the vicini-
ty of McMinnville to White county
some four or five years ago, and
there, as here, had made farming a
success. He was a useful man in any
community, and his death is much
deplored.

sity OF raising the dress, are these
dust-colored white skirts anything
but beautiful. More than all, they
are conspicuous. A dress raised,

with a deep tlounce of lace, is scarcely

INSIDE THE CRATER.
a visitor to Etna Describes What He
Saw There.

Not long afterwards we stood on a
level and the boiling vapor was seen
seething up from Il great yawning pit
at our feet. behold it," cried Sebas-
tian, with a salute, bareheaded, to the
mountain, and | realized that | was
10, 800 feet above the sea and in as con.
venient situation for sensational
ending AS man may find anywhere
in the world.
ties with II terrific below and an out
throw of ashes and rocks that put me
in much doubt of my ability to live
through it. The stencil of the sulphur.
too, was villainous and though
adopted Sebastian's plan Of binding a
handkerchief over my mouth and nos
trils it was all | could do to draw one
satisfactory breath in ten.
Add to this. that the ground upon
which we stood was composed of burn
ing ashes and hot mud and it will be
apparent that Etna's summit is not
altogether lit for the daintiy- snod
tourists who climb Nesuvius by the
funicolare nor an easy spot for the in
diligence OF poetical rhapsOdies.
Some say the crater of Etna is two
miles round; others are satisfied with
half the estimate. The truth is that
both reckoningS may be justified. AT
one time the crater is two miles in cir
conferences; ut other times more or
less. The volcano is so terribly active
that it is always revising and reshaping
itself. The outcast of ashes one week
most of which fall back into the
crater obliquely, so as to form an in
clinsd bank-may be so prodigious
that the crater itself seems curtailed
of II third of its previous area But,
perhaps. on the eighth day that
part OF the tloor--to speak loose
ly--of the crater which has to support
this growing weight Of material sud-
denly gives way and not only all the
newly formed boundaries but part OF
the original environing rim of the
crater fall in, and so the circuit of the
crater is enlarged.
This process is always going on
with greater or less rapidity. And
the fact that it occurs so constantly
makes the travellers measurements OF
so little permanent value that he may
generally be counseled to spare himsel
all trouble in the matter. Chamber

EXTINCT ANIMAL SPECIES.
1t Ia Very Difficult job to Exterminatl
Them Entirely.

When people set about getting rid
OF an entire species of animals by IL
systematic persecution. they usually
lind Ii IA difficult job. Set price on
the head of the wolf or the woodchuck
and the creature seems to realize the
Importance of its life. A bounty on
crows must be viewed as a pleasant
Joke by those shrewd observers Of
men and things. The case of the
wolf in Europe is an historical one. A
price has been set on the creatures
head for centuries. and yet there is
but small portion of the continent
from which the animal has been ex-
terminated. The Netherlands is free
from wolves from the character of the
country. The whole land furnishes
not single rocky den suitable for the
VOLTS lair; neither is there forest for
the creatures shelter.
1t is true that the wolf has been ex-
terminated from Great Britain and
Ireland. This result has been reached,
however. by indirect means rather
than by direct attack. The clearing
OFT OF the forest left the wolf no place in
which to hide from pursuit. The is
lands were too far from the continent
for their thinned ranks to be recruited
from the main land
In Spain and France the wolf has at
no time been unknown, although a
prlce has been set on its head for hum
dreds OF years. The animal has de-
veloped cunning in proportion as the
pursuit has become closer. Like the
crow. it has learned to take care of
itself.
On the other hand, species receive
very little help toward their continu-
ance from the well-meant efforts of
man to that end, In proof of this we
were told that there is an ancient act
| OF parliament still in force in England
and Wales, prohibiting the taking Of
the eggs OF certain birds. of which six
kinds are expressly named. In spite
OF this protecting law, four of the six
species have ceased to breed in those
| countries
The indirect ways in which such
results are brought about are shown
IN the destruction of the quail in New
Zealand. The birds were once numer-
Gus; no one wished to destroy them
| But the land was burned over for other
| purposes at seasons when the eggs and
young OF the quail were exposed to
destruction and few years brought
| the species to an end.-Youth's Com.

New Standard for Steel Analyses.

The committee appointed by the
American Institute of Mining Engi-
neers to consider the matter of estab-
fishing international standards for
analyses of iron and steel has taken a
step that is OF vital Importance to all
manufacturers of iron and steel in
recommending that the double chloride
OF potassium and copper, containing
not less than 5 per cent of free hydro
chloric acid should be used in deter
mining the amount of carbon in steel.
Professor J: W: Langley Of Pittsburg,
has presented this report as the result
of extended Investigations by DR.. c.
B. Dudley, of Altoona. and Andrew
A. Blair, of this city. A neutralized
double chloride ammonium and copper
Is the agent hitherto used.
