A Pessimistic Benedict.

Another disgruntled Benedict writes:
"Men think they marry angels and
they find mortals; they think they
have got prizes and they have got
blanks. Marriage is madness. Every
man contemplating marriage should
be run into an asylum. There is moth
ing in it but worry and expenses. Men
put their best foot forward when they
go courting, and the girls naturally do
the same when courted. Courtship is
a game of mutual deception. A man
wants q home, some one to love, chill
dren; a woman wants to be emanci-
pated from her family's control and
be at liberty; she wants position,
money, shrinks from being an old
maid, and, incidentally, wants affec-
tion, if possible. The laws haveeman-
cipated women, SO that they are no
longer dependent, shrinking, desirous
of protection; they think if heaven
had sent them into the world as males
they would have set the river on FIRE
Not content with the positions of their
husbands, they endeavor to make DO.
sitions for themselves. Some do
Many do no more than to fret Their
husbands with praises of their friends
husbands. Marriage is a failure, and
| polygamy is failure multiplied"

The New Land Law.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Many in
quiries are received at the land office
regarding the.effect of the repeal of the
land laws, just when it went into effect
and what action the officers should
take. OF course, only meager and gen.
eral instructions can be made now.
Several registers and receivers have
written for instructions, and the land
commissioners reply is as follows, be-
ing general for all land offices:
The act repeating the timber-culture
and pre-emption laws was enacted
March 4, 1891, but all bona fide
claims lawfully initiated under the said
laws prior to that date are protected
thereby and may be perfected accord
ing TO law. Whether any claim comes
within this protecting provision or not
is primarily a question for you to act
upon, subject to review in the regular
course. l may state, however, that
timber culture applications pending
before the date OF approval of the re-
pealing acts should be passed upon
with reference to the special provis-
ions therein with reference to bona
fide claims lawfully initiated, and so
also should pre-emption claims when
settlement is alleged prior to the pass
ing OF the repeating act and the declar-
atory statement is offered for filing
within the legally prescribed period
from date OF settlement.

Queer Facts About Beavers.

Cathlamet Gazette: James Sherman
of Clifton, who is trapping beaver at
Knappa, was telling recently some
queer things about beaver and beaver
trapping. The animal, he says, has
the most acute sense of smell of any
animal that exists. In setting the
traps you must wait till low water, in
order to have the tide when it comes
in to obliterate all traces of your pres
ence When beaver is caught in q
trap the other beavers at once enable
him to make good his escape by seiz-
ing him by the tail and hauling him
away until they release him, often
leaving the limb in the trap as an evil
dence OF the struggle that ensued. He
caught a beaver last winter on Puget
island, and said that it had only two
toes on a hind foot, the other three
legs being amputated as close to the
body as if the limbs had never existed.
Mr.. Sherman says there is one fac
ulty the beaver possesses that would
be a profitable and interesting study
for scientific men, and that is the
power of making objects adhere to the
bottom of q stream without any ap.
parent means of securing them. The
| beaver lives mostly on wood, which it
cuts and deposits on the bottom
where it remains, contrary to the nat.
ural laws, which would in ordinary
cases cause the wood to rise to the
surface. How this is accomplished ii
is difficult to decide, but it is neverthe
less fact, as Mr.. Sherman assures US
that he tried it time and again. Beaver
trapping pays well where any consid
erable number can be caught, the av
erage price of the furs being from SO. sc
to So per pound.

Edison's Explanation Of the Ampere and the
Volt

During a recent examination a law
yer put the following question to
Thomas A Edison:
Explain what is meant by the num-
Der of volts in an electric current?"
To which he replied:
81 will have to use the anology of q
waterfall to explain. Say we have a
current of water and a turbine wheel
If have a turbine wheel and allow a
thousand gallons per second to fall
from a height of one foot on the tur-
bine, get a certain power, we will say
one horse power. Now the one foot OF
fall will represent one volt of pressure
in electricity, and the thousand gallons
will represent the ampere or the
amount of current. We will call that
one ampere. Thus we have a thous-
and gallons of water or one ampere
falling one foot or one volt, or under
one volt OF pressure, and the water
working ths turbine gives one horse
power. LII, now, we go a thousand feet
high, and take one gallon of water and
let it fall on the turbine wheel, we will
get the same power as we had before,
namely one horse power. We have a
Thousand times less current or less
water, and we will have a thousandth
of an ampere in place of one ampere,
and we will have thousand volts in
place OF one volt, and we will have a
fall of water a thousand feet in place
of one foot. Now the fall of water OF
the height from which it falls is the
pressure of volts in electricity, and the
amount OF water is the amperes. II
will be seen that thousand gallons q
minute falling on a man from a height
of only one foot would be no danger to
the man, and that if we took one gal
lon up thousand feet and let it fall
down it would crush him. So it is not
the quantity or current of water that
does the damage, but it is the velocity
or the pressure that produces the
effect"
