Coinage Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-It is probable
that there will be all interesting strug-
gle between the tariff bills and the
Bland free silver coinage bill for pre-
cedence in the order of consideration in
the house. In fact the struggle has
already begun. The contest is as yet
conducted in very quiet manner and
is merely a matter of argument as to
whether or not party policy requires the
silver bill to precede or to follow one or
more of the tariff bills. The silver men
have urged through Chairman Bland
and others that the way to prevent the
silver question from being made unduly
prominent is to take it up and pass it
promptly.
With the silver bill out of the way
public attention would be concentrated
on the tariff bills, and by keeping that
question before the public steadily its
prominence would be much greater
than if the silver bill was sandWic he'd

Maj. Jones referred to the connecting
streams and lakes of the Red River of
the North. Those from the west were
of no Importance. The Otter Tail river
is Minnesota river, and takes its rise
in system of lakes in the timbered
country adjoining tie Mississippi water
shed upon the west. Lake Traverse is
about thirty miles long, with banks
sloping up to the prairie level from 90
to $50 feet above. In the present low
water stage more than one-half

ponds of water, and lntersected by a
number of slOughs which unite at the
lower end in the Bots de Sioux. The
Bots de Siouxis about fifty miles long.
For about eight miles it is merely a
slough of the lake. In the remaining
distance the banks are tolerably well
defined, and there is supposed to
be fall of about fifty feet. Big
Stone lake is on the bend of
to Minnesota river. 1t is about twenty
five miles long, from one to two miles
wide, and lies in deep cash in the
prairie about $50 feet below the level.
Its low water area is about eighteen
square miles. At the lower end marshes
and meadows fill the valley. A strip of
low land about five miles long separates
it from Lake Traverse, and upon this is
located the small town of Browns Val
ley. The low water of Big Stone lake
is III feet below that of Lake Traverse.
Red lake, i'll Northern Minnesota. is
situated in the midst of magnificent
pine forest, except that from its very

Canadian boundary. The lake is 50

width, covering an area of 4S6 square

into the Red River of the North oppo-
site Grand Forks, and the distance from
the lake is about 325 miles.

ANTICS OF WATCHES,
Broken Springs said &" Follow n Display
of the Aurora Borealis.

Decidedly the watch is very queer
thing. Ii possesses some unacconnt-
able pecuiarities. as the Boston Globe
rises to remark. Some time ago when
there had been a succession of fine dis
plays of the aurora borealis. it was
estimated that in single night i'm
New York the main springs of not less
than 5000 watches broke. The esti-
mate is based on actual inquiries.
Fine, sensitive watches are particu-
iarly liable to be effected by electrical
atmospheric disturbances. During the
months of June. July and August.
wien these phenomena are most fire.
gnent. there are more mainsprings
broken than during all the remaining
months of the year. They break in
variety of ways. sometimes swapping
into as many as twenty-seven pieces.
Ii is fact that since the introduc-
ton of the electric light has become
so general. large number of watches.
some of them very fine ones. have be-
come magnetiZed. While i'm this con-
dition they are useless as time keepers.
This defect used TO be considered in
durable. and because Of ii thousands
of watches have been thrown AWAY
after much money had been spent on
them in vain attempts to persuade
them to keep good time.
Among the methods resorted to
were washing the parts in garlic juice
reiinishing and passing them through
the lire. But all these devices were
entire failures, or only in part effective.
There are occasions when it is Il
very serious matter TO have your waich
magnetized. The captain of an At
lantic steamer. before putting 10 sea
on a recent voyage. was invited to in
spect an electric dynamo machine. and
examined its parts closely.
Soon after getting on board the
steamer he noticed that the compass
became strangely affected when he APP
preached it. Whether he stood on the
right or the left. or Immediately in
front of the compass. the needle would
invariably point TO him. The compass
was worse than useless when he came
near it. 1t was dangerous. and might
wreck the ship.
This phenomenon alarmed aud puz-
zled the captain not little. At length
he recalled his visit 10 the dynamo
machine. and the true solution Of the &C.
centric behavior of the magnetic needle
flashed upon him. His watch had be-
come magnetized. When he removed
il the needle resumed its constancy To
the polar star.
Watches frequently become magne-
tized in iron mines or machine shops.
where they are incautiously brought
near swift-running belts.
1t is well-known fact among hcrol-
ogists that no watch will keep the
same time with two people. The
cause has not yet been definitely ascer-
tanned, but it would seem that in some
mysterious way watch is affected by
the temperament of the wearer. The
mere physical differences in gait and
movement between different people is
not sufficient To account Tor all the
variations hat have been observed

brain was removed for the purpose of
weighing it, the distinguished physi-
clans and surgeons having often re-
marked the extraordinary size of his

balances the brain was found To weigh
exactly 2.Ol2 grammes. The meaning
of this can be better understood when
