The town board Of supervisors will
meet at the town clerks Office next
Monday for the purpose Of reviewing
and correcting the assessment rolls.
Il any taxpayer thinks he is unjustly
assessed then and there is the place for
him to register his kick, and not year
hence when the taxes are due. From
all we can learn Mr.. Cater has made a
fair assessment.

{, Great SCIENTISTS.

Great men in any department of
human knowledge are like the noun
tain peaks Of the world, CONSPICUOUS by
being so far above the general level,
and are likewise few in number.
Euclid in mathematics, Archimedes in
mechanics, Kepler in astronomy, New
ton in natural philosophy, all were con-
spicous discoveries, and those who
have come after have done little more
than to amplify what the masters
found. On the Goth Of April, 1882,
there died in England one Of these
pioneers and original discoveries in
the field of natural science Charles
Darwin. Not all the details of his
theories have stood the test Of criti-
cism-he himself confessed to a ''mis-
sing link in the origin Of but il
the main his doctrines of s Evolutio ~
Z Natural Selection and the 'sSurvival
of the Fittest, . are subscribed to by
men of science. The logic of events in
every department Of the worlds work
and life demonstrates that the s'Sur.
.vival of the Fittest," is a true theory,
In. the early history of railroads, the
companies were almost innumerable-
now those which were the fttest have
swallowed the others. More than
forty different railroads have been
merged in the great Burlington system
to make the 1000 miles Of railroad
which now link together the more i'm
portant cities and towns in ten Of the
best states of the West. For tickets
over this great line, or any informa,
ton, apply to any agent Of the Bur
lington Route or connecting lines, OF

agent Of the Springfield Fire and
Marine Insurance company, was in
town, Tuesday, and in conjunction
with Judge Keith, the local agent OF
the company, adjusted Mr. c. H.
Pierce's loss. The fire occurred on
the night of the 18th inst, and just
six days from that time the loss was
adjusted to Mr.. Pierce's satisfaction.
Mr.. Hubbell considered that the build
ing and furniture were damaged to the
extent of 1888, and that is the amount
the company will pay Mr.. Pierce.

There are over 1000 species Of
snails and they are found in all
parts Of the world. Some are even
smaller than a pin head, while
others in France and Italy, for in
stance, are cultivated for food and
ARE large enough to make a good
mouthful. Snails are vegetarians
and have jaws and tongues of saw
like edge, the number Of points on
each running into the thousands.
On the approach of cold weather
the snail throws a film over the
mouth Of its shell which tightens
like a drumhead. As it grows
colder, other films are added on
the plan of storm windows. Ex-
tensive drouth will cause the snail
to close its doors in the same way
to prevent the evaporation of its
bodily moisture and dry up. These
little animals are possessed of as
tonishing vitality, regaining actlv-
ity after having been frozen in
solid blocks of ice, and enduring a
degree Of heat which crisps vege-
tation.

The construction Of the extern
sion Of the Pecos Valley railroad
TO Roswell will be commenced just
as soon as the locations can be
made profles prepared and con-
tracts let. In from thirty TO sixty
days construction will be in pro-
gress. The road will reach Ros-
we'll by Christmas. The building
of this much of the extension is in
no way dependent upon the sue
cess Of the larger scheme Of tap
ping the Santa Fe at Bernal or else
where. The cash necessary for
the Roswell extension was obtain
ed some time ago, and there is lit
tie doubt that pending negotia-
tions for completion Of the entire
line will be successfully concluded
by the time work shall be com
menced. The projectors have no
idea of having to halt on the way
north, at Roswell or any other
point this side of the Santa Fe
line, but are not yet able to say
that the arrangements are all con-
cluded for building a through line.

The convention celebrating the
15Oth anniversary Of the American
Philosophical Society opened
May 20 in Philadelphia. The so
ciety was founded by Benjamin
Franklin, according to whom the
sphere of the society was to in
clude investigations IN botany,
in medicine, in mineralogy and
mining, in chemistry, in mechan-
les, in arts, trades and manufac-
lures, in geography and topogra-
ply, in agriculture; to also give
attention to all philosophical ex-
periments that let light into the
nature of things, tend to increase
the power of mind over matter,
and multiply the conveniences and
pleasures of life"

A series of experiments has
demonstrated the relations be-
tween red flannel, monkeys, beer
and rheumatism. Two groups of
Gagged monkeys were abundantly
supplied with beer by the expert
mentors, one group being clad in
red flannel, the other group left
naked. All the naked monkeys
contracted rheumatism and all the
hannel-clad monke US escaped.
Then the experimenters having
thoroughly cured the rheumatic
monkeys, clad them in flannel and
let the other group go bare. The
supply of beer was continued, and
the bare monkeys were attacked
by the rheumatism, while the fan
nel-clad monkeys recovered. The
experimenters declared the beer
made the monkeys all apt sub
jects for rheumatism, but that the
flannel, by keeping off cold air
from the joints, prevented its de-
velopment.

Some threats of mal-treatment
to Mr.. Justice Field have been in
dulged in in San Francisco, pro-
vided he should return to that city,
on account of his dissenting opin-
ion to the decision of the supreme
court holding the Chinese deporta-
ton law constitutional. We are
sure that these threats emanate
from such cattle as Dennis Kear-
ney. Judge Terry once attempted
to chastise Justice Field for a judi
call opinion, and the rash attorney
was gathered unto his fathers. San
Francisco may have reason TO de-
sire the summary expulsion of the
Chinese; but to threaten violence
to an official for giving his honest
convictions upon the constitution
atty of a law which seeks that end,
is quite a different matter, and the
good people of that city should
promptly stop the sentiment

The four countries in the world
which possess the smallest tele-
graphic facilities are Peru, Para
quay, Uruguay and Persia. In
the first named there are only thir-
ty-six telegraph Offices in the
whole country and but 1,6O0 miles
of wire. In the territory of Par
aguay there are only $40 miles of
wire in operation, and the entire
t~elegraphic service of that country
requires the services of but % per-
sons. One line of 800 miles,
owned and operated by the gov
eminent, runs from Asencion to
Paso de Patria, the limit of Para
guayan territory, and the other
$50 miles by the railroad from
Asuncion to Pirape. Owing to
high water and camp fires in that
country the line is often inter-
rupted for days at a time.

Less than fifty years ago there
was really no postal system in
this country. Previous to 1847
the mails we're carried by private
firms, and rates varied according
to distance. Carriers often trav-
eled on foot or horseback and the
progress was slow. In 1916 some
of the post Offices issued stamps
of their own, called provisional
issues" The adhesive stamp was
first used in this country in 1847
and prepayment was made COM
p%ulsory in 1855. In 1868 the
stamp containing the head of An.
drew jackson was issued, and from
then until 1885 the style adopted
contained the proiles of the Pres
idents of the United States.
