"A. j. Bigney, formerly of Moore's HiIl
college, and now instructor in Johns Hop
kins university, for analysis. Mr.. Bigney
has not yet attempted TO find the chemical
elements in the water, but after hasty
,eXaminatiou he says: Il find traces of
lcarbon." This would lead 10 the belief
that the clouds were formed over some city
or in the vicinity of great banks of smoke,
and that the unconsUmed carbon in the
atmosphere was carried along with the
Fmist and precipitated in RAIN. This is
only Il theory. II fiud, also" " says Pro
lfessor Bigney, although I have not made
,an analysis as yet, that there are evident

THE STATE RAILWAY BOARD.


Topeka, June 29-The state board of
railroad assessors, comprising the lieuten-
sat Cover nor and the six officers Of the
state, has almost completed its work of
,sisting the property of the corporations.
lhe board intends TO make known its
assessment this week, probably Oh Satur-
Gay.
Last week il was said that the iDforma-
zion would be given out on the following
Monday. but the members Of the board
are having trouble in getting together.
While the sessions of the assessors are as
secret as futurfJy itself. it is stated by a
close friend of one of them that they are
as far apart as thse poles.
The best opinion among popullsts Is that
the assessment of railroad property will be
raised, but the majority of the assessors
do not believe this would be right. Some
of them have said. however, that to raise
the rate of taxation Oh railroad property
Is necessity of popullst politics They
think that their party desires the change
and they will act accordingly, no matter
what their Judgment says. However, two
or three members. Of the board think it
would be in Justice TO increase the railroad
tax and they want 60 stand by their CON
victions The work of bringing these
objec,ors to time is what has delayed the
report of the board.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
The Birds Have Dance Very Much or
the Indian Order.

At this season of the year North
American birds are buSily engaged at
love making. preparatory to mating
and nest building. In an article on
the Lives and Loves of North Amer
iosn Birds in the Nineteenth Century,
| John Worth gives the following de-
seription of the preliminary courtship
of the prairie chickens" After the
disappearance of the snow he says,
''and the coming Of warmer weather.
the prairie chickens (sharp-tailed
grouse) meet every morning at gray
dawn, in companies from six to TWEEN
ty, on some selected hiilocl1 or knoll,
and indulge in the dance At first
the birds stand about in ordinary atti-
tudes, resembling people at ball be-
fore the music begins, when suddenly
one of the cocks lowers his head.
spreads out his wings nearly horizontal
ly and his tail perpendicularly distends
his air sacs and erects his feathers.
then rushes across the floor. taking
the shortest Of steps, but stamping his
feet SO hard and so rapidly that the
sound is like that of the kettle drum;
at the same time he utters sort OF
bubbling crow, which seems to come
from his air sacs. beats the air with his
wings, and vibrates his tail 50 that he
produces loud, rustling noise, and
thus becomes Il really astonishing
spectacle. Soon after one commences
all the cocks join in, rattling, stamp
ing drumming, Growing and dancing
together furiously; louder and louder
the noise. faster and faster the dance
becomes. until d last they madly whirl
about. leaping over each other in ex-
element After brief spell the en-
ergy of the dancers begins to abate.
and shortly afterward they erase, and
stand or move about very quietly. until
they are again started By one II their
number leading off as human dancers
are observed 20 do during the intervals
Of rest between their performances
The whole operation reminds the
looker-on 50 strongly Of a Cree dance
as TO suggest the possibility Of is being
the prototype Of the Indian exercise.
The space occupied b. the dancers
is from fifty 10 one hundred feet
across. and as il is returned to year after
year the grass Is usually worn off, and
the ground trqmpled down hard ard
smooth. Dancing is indulged in at
any time Of the morning Or evening ia
