According to q writer in the New York

''uniques" are practically priceless. For eX-

full Papilio This insect, the only
one Of its kind ever captured, was taken on
the island. of Sumbawa, southeast of Java.
Received in a shipment from his collector
at that place, Mr. Neumoegen at once con-
cluded that it was new to science. He sent
IL to Europe, risking its loss, and experts
there decided that he was right. 1t is of a
wonderful metallic green. Special expedi-
tions have been sent to the locality several
times since in the hope Of finding another,
but this one still remains unique. If it were
sold at auction in London, it would bring

Roman and Byzantine styIes-Beautifui
Rlorentlne and Russian Work.
The origin of the art Of producing a. ..D
tic designs by setting small square pieces
of stone or glass Of different colors so as to
give the effect of painting is obscure, but
IL was much practiced by the Romans, es-
pecially for ornamental pavements, speci-
mems of which are almost always found
wherever the remains of an old Roman VII
Ia are discovered Under the Byzantine
empire It was also much used for the orna-
mentation of churches, in which it formed
large portion of the wall decoration.
Christian mosaics admit, says one writ
er, of two general divisions, the later Ro-
man and the Byzantine styles, the material
In use being in general cubes Of colored
glass, inlaid, in the Roman school, on a
ground Of blue and white, although in the
latter the tesser@ are frequently irregular
In size and the workmanship coarse. The
former style hourished in Italy chiefly In
the fifth and six centuries, the most splen-
did specimens being found In the churches
Uf Rome and Ravenna.
The Florentine mosaic dates from the
time of the Medici and is made entirely Of
precious or semiprecious stones, such as
amethyst, agate, jasper, onyx and others,
cut and inlaid in forms or thin veneers best
suited to produce the effects desired. The
objects represented are most frequently
birds, flowers, fruits, vases, sometimes
buildings and more rarely portraits and
landscapes. In reference to the present
Roman mosaics, it may be said that the
smalti, or small cubes Of colored glass,
which compose the pictures are stuck into
the cementing paste or mastic in the same
manner as were the colored glass, stone
and marble sectilia and tesserB Of the an

20 Think They Do Not.
Many careful observers claim that wasps
never touch sound fruit, and that, in fact
their jaws are so constructed that it would
be impossible for them to break the skin Of
a grape or other less delicate fruit by any
force that they could exert.
In recent article on this subject, a writer
in French journal inclines to take this
view from a consideration Of the form of
the jaws of a wasp, and he illustrates his
point by means Of greatly enlarged draw

SPEAKING OF SHEEP.
Successful Rancheros from Eastern
Mora Talk of q Great
Industry.

Messrs. P. L. Pinard and Mateo Lujan,
influential citizens from eastern Mora
county, and among the heaviest flock
owners in the Ute creek country, are visit
ing the capital. They are interested in
the establishment of the new county of
Union, and present many cogent argu-
ments as to why it should be estab-
lished.
Speaking Of the sheep industry, these
gentlemen say they, in common with all
who are engaged in this business in their
section, have been successful to a most
gratifying degree during the past four
years. Prices for wool and sheep have
ruled steady at a figure which has greatly
stimulated wool growing IN Colfax and
Mora counties. They have a flock of
10000, sheep, and during the past year
have sold to outside buyers some 10000
head. Their last years wool clip
amounted to 125,OOO pounds and it was
sold at Clayton, which point, they declare,
is by far the best wool market in the ter
ritory. Thus far this winter their losses
haye been little or nothing, and the out
look for big crop Of lambs and
good range is very flattering.

PRESID ENTAIL COUNT.
Congress Tackles the Electoral Vote
This Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Congress is re
quired to be in joint session to count the
electoral vote at l o'clock this date.
Meanwhile each body will have appointed
two tellers, whose duty it will be to read
the vote. A few moments before o'clock
to-day the senate will proceed in body
to the hall of the house. The president
of the senate will preside over the joint
assembly, with the speaker of the house
sitting at his left. The certificates will
then be opened by the president OF the
senate in the alphabetical order OF the
states and handed to the tellers, who will
read them and note the result. It is pos
sible that OBJ jections may be raised to
some of the votes from the states of Cali
fornia, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, and
Oregon, and in this event the law provides
that the two houses separate, consider the
OBJ jections, and report their findings.
The count can not proceed until each OBJ
lection has been disposed of. After the
certificates have all been read the tellers
will deliver the result to the president,
who, in accordance with the facts, will
make the proper announcement. This
announcement is declared by law, and
will be sufficient and constitutional de-
claration of the election of Grover Cleve-
land and Adlai E. Stevenson. This will
