low They Are Used to Follow tao Move
ments of Submarine boats.
Some experiments have been lately
conducted by the French navy, which
will have an important influence on the
future use of the b;.iloon in time of
war. A balloon was constructed, saws
the Chicago Globe, with n capacity of
1880 feet, especially for experimental
purposes 1t was inflated with hydro
gen, which was carried in reservoirs
under pressure of 100 atmosphcrcs.
A tail rope $50 feet long served to con-
meet the balloon with ship of the fleet
when the balloon was required to be
kept captive for accommodating pur-
poses. 1t was found that on clear day
all important objects within radius of
eighteen to twcnty-four miles were
clearly distinguished.
Another very important point was
that the waters of the sea, when OBJ
served from n considerable altitude,
were found to be singularly clear, and
the details of the bottom were in one of
the nscents perfectly distinguishable,
even at 4 depth of eighty feet This Pc
culiarity allowed on observer in the
balloon to follow the movements of tho
submarine boat Gymnotc, during it's re-
cent trials, without losing sight of it for
single moment, whatever its depth of
immersion.
The balloon used on this OCCASION was
very stoutly constructed, having been
short time before towed ut speed of
ten and one-kGf knots an hour for n
distance OF twenty-onc knots, by tor
pedo boat, without being any the worse.
Germany has now adopted balloons for
naval purposes, and during the recent
maneuvcrs ut Wilhclmshaven one of
these was used from n war-ship of the
fleet for accommodating.

The Phoebe Railroad.

News has been received in Salt
Lake City from an Enthusiastically au-
thoritative source that the manage
,nent OF the Union Pacific railway has
finally decided to begin work on the
Milford Phoebe extension on the first
Vt March. The road has been graded
from Milford to Phoebe, distance of
no miles, but the ro9dbed and rails
only extend out from Milford few
miles. The most difficult part of the
work Of construction las been COM
pleted, and il will only require a few
months labor to place the road in
running order. So the good people
of Phoebe Mood not be surprised if
they are awakened from their Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep by the shrill blast
Of locomotive before snow flies next
Winter. The country which the road
will open up to settlement and trade
is OF vast extent, and it will add much
to the welfare Of Southeastern Ne

# is related of horse at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, noted for his intelligence, that
during o recent storm, finding that his
shoes were too smooth for comfort dur.
ing slippery trip, he pushed tho barn
door open and started on q steady trot
for tho blacksmith's. Once in tho shop
he stood back and waited his turn as
dccorously rs though "going-a-shop.
ping" on his own hook was an every
day occurrence. Finally one of tho
mon brought out his tools and began
tapping on tho four-footcd customers
shoes as though putting on new set.
Tho animal showed unmis taxable signs
OF approval, and when the hammering
was finished trottcd out and made his
way home, perfectly contented.

ILLEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

It has been urged against the Dis
trict Judges that in open violation Of
the Act of 1889, providing for a fourth
Judge, which says one Of the Judges
shall reside at Pioohe, Ely or Bel
mont they arranged that none Of
them should reside at any of the
places named. Now it is brought VI
against the Senate that in organizing
that body ignored the plain letter OF
the statutes, which prescrlbes who
the officers and employees Of thu Sem
ate shall be.
The Legislature has passed but ole
Act and that was to create Legisla
tive Fund OF e55,OO0. If the Cover
nor had seen the point and vetoed th'
bill on the ground that one of the
Houses which passed twas not legal
ly organized he would chow that he
was attentive to the duties Of his ~
foe at least, and give the people, VIII

confidence in him.
But how will it affect the election
of United States Senator to-day If the
Legislature was not organized &C
cording to law last weekP The Con-
Rtitution of the United States and
Acts Of Congress prescribe how
United States Senators shall be
elected and il the Legislature was not
legally organized a week ago yester-
day, the election Of Senator will have
to be postponed.-[Reno Journal.
The Journal does not seem to real
ize that laws are made especially for
the common herd, and that the duty
Of the Legislature is to make laws
and the Judges to administer them
for the government of those for whom
they are intended. Are the creations
Of the Legislature greater than their
