An Ancient Painting.

An Englishman wants to sell por-
trait of Columbus to the world s
columbian exposition for $4,000.
The portrait, it is claimed, was paint.
ed by Cheyalier Antonio Moro about
1870 from a miniature Of Columbus
painted from life especially for Queen
Isabella, and which is still in the
possession of the royal family of
Spain. The fame of the picture,
which was made at the same period
the portrait was painted, is an intri-
cate mass of carving and gliding,
showing Columbus coat-of- arms and
the implements of maritime warefare
at that time.

Aside from the damage that would
be done to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road and the salt works, we suspect
that could the Colorado desert be-
yond Yuma be filed with water,
making great permanent lake there,
it would be good thing. Indeed,
the proposition has more than once
been seriously considered of opening
a canal from that same desert to the
gulf of California, to make salt wa
ter lake over so much of that region
as is below sea level, the belief being
that it would facilitate transportation
and that great body of water there
would greatly temper the climate oi
Northern and Central Arizona and
Eastern California. The land is ut
terly worthless, and the water would
be an improvement.-Salt Lake Trib

ANIMAL VOICES.

In an Interesting paper on the vol
ces OF animals, Mr.. J. G. Hodgson.
an English elocutionist, stated that in
the mammalia the general structure
OF the larynx is like that of man; the
power and character of the sound de-
pending on the different degrees of
development of the vocal cords. and
the popularity of structure of the vo-
cal organs. The timbre or quality of
voice IS remarkably distinct in the
inherent classes Of animals, and also
varies in those of the same class.
Lions and tigers, with their magni-
tude OF chest, make a roar that fills
the ear with a sense of horror. the
depth OF voice giving to the mind the
idea OF an enormous being. The
horse neighs in a descent on the
chromatc scale without even omit
ting a semltone, being one of the
most musically- y-voiced of animals.
The ass brays in perfect octave, and
one of its CALCULATIONS has been cop
led by Haydn in his seventy sixth
quartette with great success. The
bark of the dog is an instance of a
voice acquired by domestication,
much as the trotting of the horse is
an acquired movement. An ape, one
OF the Gibbons, produces an exact
octave of musical sounds, ascending
and descending the scale by half
tones, SO that perhaps it alone of
brute animals may be said to sing.
The bowling or preacher monkey of
South America has a voice that can
be heard two miles. The giraffe and
the armadillo are voiceless, with no
vocal cords. The chrp of the long
cared bat is said to be the most acute
sound produced by any animal, and
only five out of six persons can hear
it, In reptiles the larynx is in ru-
dimentary condition. The crocodiles
aud caymen make feeble roaring
sound. One kind of frog has a
sound bag, evidently acting as a
resonance chamber, on each side Of
its mouth. The tortoise gives mere
snuffing sound. Snakes have no vo-
cal cords, out produce Kissing by
expulsion of air through the narrow
opening in the glottis. Most fishes
. are mute. Insects, such as crickets
grasshoppers and bees, have beer
, considered more musicians thar
singers, most of their sounds being
caused by friction of their wings o.
legs together or against their body
or by vibrations of their wings. A
t grasshopper of Brazil may be heart
r half a mile, which is "as if a maj
with big voice could be heard owe

Mr.. William Z. Curtis, the head OF

sour commerce with the other Amer

we bought s200,00o,0o0 worth OF the
products of our neighbors In Latin
America, and sold them only $4,000

We taxed , $40 of this s20O,O00,OOo

close of the war we began to reduce

Wandering Jews.

From the time of Abraham TO the
present, the migratory instinct has
been strong among Jews. Mesopo-
tamia. Canaan, Egypt, Canaan once
more. Assvria, Babylonia, Persia Ca
naan a third time, and then the whole
world is the route of migration, the
itinerary of the Hebrew race. The
laws are indeed the "tribe of the
wandering foot" The existence OF
Jews in out-of-the-way corners OF the
earth-the Felashas and Beni- Israel
and the Cochin-Jews-is only ac'
counted for by their wandering IN
stincts. No doubt that instinct has
been strengthened by persecution
hut now when peace prevails the Jew
still retains his fondaess for travel
ing.

A BOISE correspondent of the Salt
Lake Herald says; There seems to
be much uncertainty about the new
liquor license. The law is that re-
tail liquor dealers shall pay s125 per
quarter from July 1st, but it also
says that each saloon keeper must be
under bond to keep an orderly house,
and that the bond must be approved
by the board of county commission
ers. What the sheriff will do from
July l to July IA, or when the board
meets to approve bonds, is hard
question to answer. But who will
test the constitutionality of the high
license bill? The large saloons will
not, because it will be the means OF
closing up the small saloons, and the
small houses can't afford to fight it
The only safe way will be for the
sheritfs to collect the high license
from all until the bond is approved.

SupDiying New Teeth

a dentist of Moscow is reported to
have discovered a method of supply
ing the human mouth with false teeth
which will grow into the gums as
firmly as natural ones. DR.. Zna-
uensky has performed several sue
cessful operations on dogs as we'll as
human beings. The teeth are made
Of gutta-percha, porcelain or metal.
Holes are made at the root OF the
false tooth and also upward into the
jaw. The tooth is then placed into
the cavity. In short time soft
granulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in the
tooth. This growth gradually hard
ems and holds the tooth in position.

RUSSIAN MISSIONARIES IN JAPAN
THEIR WORK AMONG THE JAPANEsE-sUP.
PORTED BY THE SAINT sYNoDE AND
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

II is not yet known whether the japanese who at
tempted the life Of the Czarcwitch is religious or
political fanatic. lie may belong to tho attec class,
for the antforen movement Is strongly developed In
Japan, on account of the agitation created by the pro
posed revision of the European and American treaties
The United states Government was the first 10 con-
clnde treaty with Japan, In 1854 It's example being
followed by various EUROPEAN Powers. In 1896 Japan
proposed revision OF those diplomatic arrangements
In spirit somewhat unfavorable TO Foreigners. The
negotiations were abruptly stopped by the Mikado's
Government, which reopened them In 1885, curtailing
still moro the privileges granted formerly to foreign
residents. STILL 1t is probable that the wouldbe mur
derer Of the Czacewch has obeyed the impulse OF re
gous rather than OF political and patriotic fanatcism
Russian proseytism has been OF late more prominent
and more public in japan than any other, though 1t
must not be forgotten that three American missionaries
have had TO suffer during the last year at the hands Of
Japanese. Christianity was introduced into Japan by
the Portuguese in 1540, and there were soon many
thousands Of converts 10000 OF them being sentenced
70 dih under the petext that they had taken part in
PCucal conspiracy: The teaching OF the Gospel was
i1rDuoen. nevertheless, when the French landed IN
oSPa III iooo tney found there 10000 natives secretly
aa4erhg ACNE to the Christian religion It is only since
Pan as toerated religion. In that year, too, the
Russian missionaries openly pursued their work They
nad peculiar method OF teaching sacred history. They
gaeted tne native pupils In front OF the holy images.
and used the latter explanatory figures, thus aiding
the ,rp pupils IN remembering the lessons.
