DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY.

A number of influential Democratic
papers have tnrned themselves loose over
the idea that President Harrison should
dare appoint a justice to the supreme
bench during the last month of his ad-
ministration. President Adams did that
very thing and with John Marshall, who
held on to the secretary of state port
folio until after lie had been sworn in
for the bench But the most extraordi-
nary precedent have been furnished by
President Cleveland himself. In the
postofiice department alone there were
ninety-eight appointments of presiden-
tial postmasters made by Cleveland in
February Immediately preceding his re-
tirement from office. Yet so scrupulous
was President Harrison in this particular
that all Of Grover Cleveland's appoint
ments during the last days Of February
were permitted to be confirmed by Re-
publican senate, and have been retained
in office to this hour by President Harri-
son, Democrats though they are.

SEAL FOR OKLAHOMA.

The matter of adopting a seal for the
territory of Oklahoma is being discussed
in the territory and will probably be
acted upon by the legislature now in
session. Anticipating such move sew
eral persons have prepared designs
which will be submitted at the proper
time. A print copy of one of these, pre-
pared by r. w. McAdams, editor OF the
Ardmore Chieftain, has been received at
this office. The piece is 14x4t inches.
The central figure is Columbia, rep
resenting justice and statehood. On her
right is the American pioneer farmer;
on her left is the aboriginal American
Indian. These two representatives of
the white and red races are shaking
hands beneath the scales of justice, SYM
bolizing equal justice between the white
and red races in Oklahoma and on the
part of the federal government. Be
meath the trio group is the cornucopia Of
plenty and the olive branch of
peace, and behind is the sun of progress
and civilization. Behind the Indian is
scene depicting the barbarouS, nomadIc
life of the aborigines-tepees, emigrant
train, grazing herds, ETC., representing
Oklahoma in her primeval wildness.
Behind the white man is a scene depict
ing the arts of Observation-Disclosures plow-
ing, rural home, railroad train, COM
press, mills, elevator, manufactures,
churches, schools. caDitol and CITY, The
two scenes are meant to be symbolic of
of the advance of the star of empire
westward, the peaceful conquests of the
Anglo-Saxon, and the decadence Of the
red race.
The makeup of the scene is sugges-
tive enough, but it is too elaborate in de-
tail-there is too much of ito be strik-
ingly attractive when reduced to proper
size. 1t is a combination of features
from several state seals, rather than an
original design.

Power Could Be Transmitted from a Big
Engine If Run Fast Enough.
Science can do some wonderful
things" said Samuel Watson. practi-
cal engineer, who has been devuting
some time to studying the various meth
DDS Of transporting power from the mo
tor to the machine. He read q paper on
his discoveries some time ago before
one of the engineering societies in New
York, says the ST. Louis Globe Demo
crat.
ut would strike you as rather funny
70 see the slender line Of a spiders web
conveying the power from a two hun
dred and fifty horsepower engine,
wouldn't it? But it has been demon
strated that such a thing can be done.
Now let US start with the most common
and general method Of transporting
power, the ordinary leather belt. Sir
Robert Ball, an eminent scientific en-
gineer, has found that the heavy slow
running belt can, when the conditions
are favorable for a change from
weight to speed, be made away with.
and light-running, cotton rope may
take its place with a greater amount Of
than the betting ever gave.
Following up this line Of thought it has
been demonstrated that a rope as light
as sewing cotton going at the same rate
of speed as rife ball would satistac-
torily carry a single horsepower. Now
take the extreme lightest line Known TO
the world. that Of the spiders web. and
the extreme highest-known velocity q
travel, which is that Of light, and we
find that. astounding as It may seem,
if a line OF spiders web could bedrivs3
at the speed of light. II would satisfAo-
ctorily carry something over two nun
dred and fifty hor~e-power. singular.

FLIGHT OF THE CROWS.
Armies OF Birds in the Sky fastening &c

Armies OF Birds in the Sky fastening TO
the South.
''The preliminary gathering oi crows
before they take their fight to the
southland at the approach of winter is
always interesting to me-" said trav-
eler to St. Louis Globe Democrat man.
Il do not think that they take their fight
from this section OF the country, as the
winters here are not severe enough.
But from the Dakotas and the south
ern Canadian provinces they leave in
great numbers after the first severe
frosts. One cold, frosty morning l
arose and looked out of my bedroom
window in Red Eric, Oak, down into
a neighboring cornfeld that was
bounded by rail fence and from which
even the dry shocks had been removed.
Only the stubble, bleak and frost-cov-
cred, remained.
1.-THE village of Red Eric, is To-
cally famous for crows. They gather
ebout there in large numbers and OBJ
tain considerable food from q neighbor-
ing wild rice marsh. | noticed that
the tiers OF rails, rising seven in mum
Der, were thickly sprinkled with crows,
perched about and cawing most vocifer-
ously. I was rather amused at the
spectacle, and stood enjoying It, when
observed a long line of crows ap-
preaching from over q neighboring
patch OF forest. These also settled
down within the inclosure watched
for several hours and continually OBJ
served great Aoclzs Of crows to come
from ell directions and gather in the
field BY noon the fences and ground
fairly swarmed with the birds Il
seemed TO ne that there were hundreds
Of Thousands Then no more came for
awhile. The denouement Of the whole
affair was great Tapping Of wings,
and, division b. division, the great gath
ering left IN harmonious order. Il took
them fully half an hour before all were
under way. When the last flock or d.
vision took wing l looked 70 the south
and saw the line dimly fading away
into space. Then 7 knew they were
migrating, and / fully understood the
beauty Of that harmonious smile.
Like the fi1ht Of BIRDS
