excessive than any other time during the
summer, and it rained nearly every day in
the month. On more than one occasion
iva OF six inches of rain fell in few hours.
Saturday it began turning cold. Sunday
fires and heavy coats were comfortable, but
since then it has been getting warmer.

Use OF Pussy's wb.skers.

The long hairs on the side of cats
face are organs of touch. They are at
tached to a bed of fine glands under
the skin. and each OF these long hairs
is connected with the nerves of the lip.
The slightest contact of these whiskers
with any surrounding object is thus
felt most distinctly by the animal. al
though the hairs themselves are insen-
sible. They stand out on each side of
the lion as well as on the common cat.
From point to point they are equal to
the width of the animals body. II we
imagine, therefore, a lion stealing
through covert of wood in an imper-
feet light we shall at once see the use
Of these long hairs. They indicate to
him through the incest feeling any
obstacle which may present itself to
the passage of his body; they prevent
the rustling of boughs and leaves which
would give warning to his prey II he
we're to attempt to pass too close to q
bush, and thus in conjunction with the
soft cushions Of his feet and the fur up
on which he treads--the claws never
coming In contact with the ground--
they enable him to move toward his

evident desire to get through with as
much work rs possible. Satn~'ay both
houses spent busy day. The house
passed mum ber of I'm mportant senate
bills, among them Mclville's township ir-
rigation bill, which met the approval Of
all the mem bsrs directly interested and
received unanimous vote; providing that
counties shall bear the expenses of the re-
turn of fugitives from justice from other
states; also making the fiscal year to end
June 80; also the house bill making Fall
River and Custer counties ono senatorial
district aud placing Stanley county in the
same district with Hughes
1he appropriation bill occupied the at
tention Of the senate Saturday afternoon.
The original bill was raised 81, 600. A hard
fight was made for larger appropriations
for the deaf mute school and penitentiary,
but only $l,0JO was added, and this for
subordinate employees at the penitentiary.
The appropriation for the insane asylum
was raised $7400 on account OF fuel and
the wages of a subordinate employe. No
appropriations were made for the commits
sipner OF immi grafton or for the salaries
or The com mis- sioners of the soldiers'

The telephone is about to have a new
application-thati If foretelling storms,
A new discovery has been made as to
one of the properties OF this means OF
transmitting sound. BY placing two
iron bars at seven or eight meters dis
tance from each other, and then putting
them in communication on one side by
a copper wire covered with rubber, and
on the other side with o telephone, a
storm can be predicted at least twelve
hours ahead through a dead sound
heard In tho receiver. According as
the storm advances the sound resem-
bles the beating of hailstones against
the windows. Every fash Of lightning
and, OF course, every clap Of thunder
that accompanies the storm, produces
shock similar to that OF a stroke OF a
stone cast between the diaphragm Of

Judge ogden Hoffman, of the United

tells St. Louis Globe Democrat inter
viewer OF foolish lawsuit that once
occurred in Fresno county. Two broth
ers lived on a ranch near Fresno. One
was greatly given to going into the
woods and listening to the birds. The
other and older brother resented this,
which he called loafing, and one day
finding tho younger man sitting on a
tree trunk, rapt in contemplation, he
asked him what he was doing. "Oh,
I'm listening to tho birds that sing for
me-" The - you are" was the an
swer. "I'll let you know that those
birds sang before you showed up on the
ranch, and that they are singing espe'
Cially for me-" Words ended in blows,
and an arrest followed. In the court
the Judge, after getting the story OF
each brother, said dryly: "Now, I'll
fine you fellows $50 each for disturbing
the peace, and, mind you, those birds
sing for me-"

suddenly disappeared. and rs we
