CALENDAR.

tice of the supreme Court of Oklahoma

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The most sig
nificant event i'll the proceedings of the
house was the report of the Bland free
coinage bill by the committee on coin
age, weights and measures. This action
indicated the intention of the free coin
age men to force the bill with all posi-
BILE haste. Indeed, Messrs. Pierce, Bland
and other leaders of the free silver
movement in the house, assert that the
measure will be pressed to vote and
actually passed by the house within the
next sixty days. In this event there is
no doubt that the senate will have an
opportunity of passing upon the Bland
bill long before the date of either of the
great national conventions.
The minority have given notice they
will file q minority report not later than
Monday next.
The house also ordered an investiga-
ton of the pension bureau as managed

Catchings of Mississippi, from the COM
mittee on rules, reported the resolution
for the appointment of a select commit
tee of five members to investigate the
business methods, etc, in the bureau of
pensions. The debate thereupon par
took of the nature of reiteration of the
charges, etc, familiar throughout the
country.

the naval affairs, reported bill for the
establishment of dry dock on the gov

The New Navy.

Secretary Tracy, in his annual report
states that on March 4, 1889, the fleet of
the United States contained only three
modern steel vessels of an aggregate of
1868 TONS During the present administra-
ton, 10 new steel vessels have been added
to the navy, of an aggregate tonnage of 3d.,
S}2 tons. There are also Is vessels, aggre-
eating 93 497 tons, in process of construc-
ton. Of all the new ships begun during
the present administration, only two will
remain on the stocks March 4th next. At
the beginning of the present administra-
ton, the naval establishment was without
armor, torpedoes, heavy rapid firing
guns, armor piercing shells, smokeless
powder and high explosives. All of these
are now available. Secretary Tracy re-
calls with satisfaction, as result of his
recommendation, that Congress rational
lied the fast ships of the Inman Company,
thus giving the country the services of
the fastest ''merchant cruisers atloat.
H e urges that the same principle be carried
out in all similar cases. The Secretary
favors the construction of fast torpedo
cruisers of from 500 to 900 tons displace-
ment, four small vessels of special design
for river service and 30 torpedo boats.
The United States, he argues, is by no
means III condition OF adequate defence.
Reviewing the working of the new civil
service rules in the navy yards, he declared
that the present Presidential election was
the first in the memory of the present
generation in which the navy yards We're

The Preservation of the Forests.

Hon. George f. Talbot, Of Portland,
whose interest in the preservation of
Names great forests is well known, makes
this propositions:
In nearly every town in the State, more
or less land, stripped of its living growth
by the axe or by fire, and not adapted to
culture or pasturage, is abandoned by the
proprietor and sold at auction for the taxes
and charges upon it. He submits a bill
providing that such land, instead of being
sold for non payment of taxes, shall be for
feited to the town and shall remain per-
manently as municipal land, and be devot-
ed to the growth of timber and wood, I'M
der the management of the principal mu-
nicipal or county officers.
To guard against excessive local taxa
ton, the bill does not permit anything to
be expended in the care of said lands. or
in planting the same in excess of the in
come derived from them, and 10 per cent.
of the value of them raised by taxation in
any one year.

The Ocean Floor.

After four years of sounding, dredging
auspices of the British Government fol
the purpose Of mapping the floor of the
ocean has published its re port and unfold
ed its maps to the curious gaze OF the
'landlubbers.' They show that the
Atlantic if drained would be vast plain
with a mountain range near the middle
running parallal with our coast. Another
range intersects the first almost at right
angles and crosses from Newfoundland
to Ireland.
The Atlantic according to these sound
ings and maps, is thus divided into three
great basins, but they are no longer set
down as ''unfathomed depths. The
tops of most of these sea mountains are
about two miles below the surface,
and the deepest of the basins two and a
half miles deeper. According to Reclus
the tops Of these mountains are as white
as though they were lying in the region OF
perpetual snow, the cause being countless
numbers of species of pure white shell
which literally cover what would other
wise be jagged surfaces. There is a queer
cid legend which comes down to us from
the time of Scion and Plato. according tc
which, in the early ages of the world. d

Concerning Local Industries.

\ visit was recently made by the writer
to the lime kiln at Islesboro This kiln is
on the east side of the Island about one mile
below Turtle Head and about three miles
from Castine. There has been built a nice
wharf with good buildings for storing lime
and Two patent kilns put in which have a
capacity of burning one hundred and sixty
casks per day. The kilns are not much
above high water mark and the lime is
taken from them onto the wharf. The rock
from which the lime is burned makes its APP
pearance at highwater mark and extends
back in a northwesterly direction 1t seems
that if money can be made burning lime any
where it must be here. The rock is said to
be good and at present is taken by a derrick
from the pit and swung direct to the kilns.
There is no hauling of the rock or lime.
Another industry which promises well in
the near future is the granite quarry of Capt.
Eels of Bucks Harbor in the town of Brooks
vile. This quarry is on the east shore of
this beautiful harbor where vessels of a large
size can load in safety. Here the granite
cliffs rise from two to three hundred feet
above the level of the sea, but between the
waters OF the harbor and these granite cliffs
is plateau of several feet Here the cap
tain is making his yard for heavy work,
with wharf, and a track is laid that carries
the stone to all parts Of the yard and on to
wharf. Here stone of the largest size can be
handled very cheapy. The captain has two
more wharveS, one for loading small stone
such as paving. This is sent down from the
top of the mountain in suice into the YES
sells hold He also has an ice pond few
hundred feet away where he can suice ice
from the pond into a vessels hold. While
the captain has ideas peculiarly his own, all
who see his work at Bucks Harbor must
admit that for effectiveness and cheapness
it would be hard to beat. The Capt intends
to start i'll on a large scale the coming year
In this he has our best wishes, rs. d. G
