The placer ground which is causing such a furore belongs to SenOr Gabilonda by virtue of concession, and in order to stimulate ;he rush and do away with the ret tape which attends location, the governor sought to arrange with the owner of the concession for the free dom of lucators from trouble and molssta ion, with the happy result as above stated.

THE ATMOSPHERIC.
It's PRESSURE Enables Flies to Walk o.
PsrpendIcular Surfaces.

It's PRESSURE Enables Flies to WALL On
PsrpendIcular Surfaces. (
The weight OF the atmosphere is near
fifteen pounds on every square ipoh, So
that If we could entirely squeeze out
the air between our hands they would
cling together with force equal to
the pressure OF double this weight
because the air would press upon both
hands, and il we could contriye to
suck or squeeze out the air between
one hand and tho wall. the hand would
stick fast to the wall, being pressed
on 1t by the weight OF about two hun
dred pounds near fifteen pounds on
every square inch of the hand!
Now by late most curious dis
covery by Sir Everard Home says the
Saturday Evening Post, the dlstin-
tinguished anatomist it is found that
this IS the very process by which flies
and other insects OF similar descrip-
ton are enabled to walk upon per-
| pendicular surfaces, however smooth.
as the sides of walls and panes of
| glass in windows, ana to walk as
easily along the ceiling of rooms with
their bodies downward, and their feet
! overhead
Their feet when examined by mi
croscope are found to have fat skins
or flaps, like the feet OF web footed
animals, rs ducks and geese; and they
have, by means of strong folds the
power OF drawing the flaps close down
upon the glass or wall tho fly walks
on, and thus squeezing out tho air
completely, SO us to make u vacuum
between the foot and the glass or
wall. ;ts
The consequence of this is the air
presses the foot on the. wal with a
very considerable force compared to
the weight of theihy; for its fest are
TO its body in the same proportion as
ours are to our bodies Since we
could support by Il siagle hand on the
ceiling of the room (provided it pade
q vacuum) more than our ylole
weight namely, 200pounds tn. lily
can easily move on four feet in the
same manner by the help oil the
vacuum made under its 70 {.
And it has likewise been found that
some of the larger sea animals rre,
by the same construction enabled to
climb the perpendicular aud sm Doth
surfaces of the ice hills among which
they live. Some kinds OF lizards have
the same power of climbing an! of
climbing and OF creeping with ..heir
bodies downwards along the ceiling of
the room. and the means by Vhich
they are enabled to do so are the ..tme.
And in the large feet OF those ami
mails the continuance is easily OBJ.
sersed, OF the toes and muscles by
which the skin OF the foot is pinned
down ana the air excluded in the act
of walking or climbing. but it is the
very same only upon Il larger scale.
with the mechanism of fly or q but
terlly's foot and both operations. the
climbing of the sea-horse upon tho
ice, and the creeping of the fly upon
the window or the ceiling. are per-
formed exactly by the same power

causes the quicksilver to stand in the

! shall always remember the bad
luck our fifcr had at Fort Ripley, Mimi,
some years ago He went on sick re-
port" the day before Christmas and as
the doctor tan old time contract physi-
cianl had no patients in the hospital,
the tifer was admitted in order that the
post chaplain could not use the ward
for divine service on Christmas. The
chaplain and the doctor were not the
hest of friends, and the latter doing all
he could to provoke him by admitting
the tifer as a patient, he per-
formed maneuvcr which completely
overpowered his enemy. Now that
tifer may have been sick, but if he was
it in no way interfercd with his appetite,
and lying on his sick bed, with a must
ard plaster on his manly chest, his
thoughts were on the glorious dinner of
the morrow. Christmas day arrived
and with the first drum tap our fifer
arose, but he ate sparingly of breakfast
for fear of not being able to do justice
to the midday meal. Noon came. the
nurse yelled out "Chuck," our fifcr
vanished into the mess hall with a
Sioux war whoop. The tempting din
ner before him well nigh paralyzed him
with joy, especially as there
were only three to eat it.
beside himself, viz: hospital
steward, nurse and cook. Just as the
tifer got his mouth in good working
order for the turkey which the steward
was about to carve, the doctor came
into the room with a large roll of man
uscrlpt under his arm. Taking chair
within three feet of the table, the man
of medicine unrolled the paper, put on
his spectacles and after couple of dry
coughs remarked; Steward, as this is
Christmas day thought would come
over and read poem wrote in 1869.
II is entitled Lines on Grant After
the reading hope you will enjoy the
excellent dinner before You. The
steward sank back in his chair with a
sigh; the fifer dropped two big tears on
his empty plate. TWAS a few moments
past IL o'clock when the doctor began.
it was 1870 when he finished BY that
time the fire had died i'm the stove, the
dinner was cold and the small audience
nearly frozen. Finishing, the audience
was thanked for its effectiveness, when
the disciple of Esculapius retired for
his own quarters, where warm and
tempting meal awaited him Next day
the fifer was returned to duty" and
although he still exists as musical
''windjammer' in the services of Uncle
sam, he is ready to shoot any one
mentioning poetry TO him.
