The ocean, too, has its living Ian
terms or phosphorescent animals. and
among these the jelly-iish and sea-
anemone are very numerous. Some
times they look like pillars of fire,
sometimes like stars and sometimes
like fiery serpents, flashing out red,
green, yellow and lilac rays. Many
luminous sea-creatures are very small,
not larger than spark, but these
gather III such masses that in TIE In
dian ocean the water often looks like
great sea of molten metal, and
naturalist who bathed among them in
the Pacific said that he found himself
luminous for hours afterward, while
the sands on which the insects were
stranded at low tide cleaned like
grains OF gold.
The bottom of the ocean is marnifi-
cent with its star-iish and sea-pads,
some in rich purple and shedding Il
soft, golden-green light, while others
send out silver flashes, and the lamp.
fish carries on its head at night
golden light. Another fish seems to
be decorated with pearls and il is eyi-
IDENTIFY the fashion to be brilliant there
in some way. Even crabs in hot clim-,
ates seem TO set themselves on fire and
when captured and teased they blaze
all over with Indignation. A species
of shark, too, is intensely brilliant at
night and one that was drawn up shone
like splendid lamp for some hours
after it was dead.
Naturalists have long been at work
on the curious subject and the source
OF the illuminating power is supposed
to be contained in little sacs or cells in
the body of the animal. - Hayper's

IT is over month now since the
law went into force in regard to de-
porting Cinnamon under the Geary
Act, and still not single China
man has been sent out of the United
States. An appropriation of $780,
600 to send them back to China lies
idle because it is considered to be in
sufficient to carry the heather back
TO where they came from, and we
must wait for Congress to increase
the appropriation before any steps
may be expected to be taken to en-
force the law. Grover Cleveland,
who mismanages affairs in Wash
ington, is not in favor of deporting
the coolies, neither is Carlisle and
other members of the Cabinet.
What a glorious country this is
getting to be, where laws are made
and then every possible obstruction
thrown in the way to'prevent their
enforcement. There is not coun-
try on the globe that does not laugh
at us for conducting affairs in such
n manner. Even China ridicnles
our manner of administering affairs.
and pays no attention to any laws
that are made, even so far as to
command it's couDtrymen not to
comply with them. Remember
this, and give the Peoples Party q
chance to fire out the mongols four
years hence,

THE PRINTING PATRONAGE.

There is a man by the name of
Sayre out in Mason Valley who re-
Gently started a newspaper there,
or, rather he started half paper,
as the other half is printed and
published in San Francisco. Of
course this paper was started to fill
a long felt want and all that sort Of
thing. out the man has been chas-
ing about this State for several
years past with handful of type
and q hand press, and if he could
not get established newspapers in
certain localities to buy him out he
would locate there and systematic
ally proceed to "rat" rates and de-
moralize business. His first effort
was in Reno, and after he made a
failure there he afflicted Candida
ria with his patent outside publ
cation. This was failure number
two, and after being unable to sell
his one-horse plant in this county
he locates here, and true to the in
stincts Of a rodent, begins to cut
advertising rates. But the tricki-
ness of the man is displayed when
he takes advantage of the inexpe-
rience of others in the printing
business and and proposes to the
Commissioners of this county TO do
their job work at Virginia City
rates. Now rates for job work in
Virginia City are higher than in
any other town in the State, for the
simple reason that there is union
there and higher wages are paid
there than in any other town. The
TIMES has been doing job work for
Lyon county and for individuals in
the county at as low, if not trife
lower rates, than the Virginia City
shops have been charging for the
past ten years, and yet the Com
missioners have been led to believe
that they can secure a bargain by
having Mr.. Sayre send their print
ing to Virginia City to be done.
True economy is good thing, but
that practiced by the Mason Valley
Commissioners reminds person of
the Dutchman who stopped up the
spigot hole and left the bunghole
of his beer key open to save the
contents of the key.

KEEP DRILLING.

Last year the Peoples Party, or
Silver Party, gained glorious VIC
tory over the two old rotten organiza-
tions that had for many years been
trying to wipe Nevada off the face OF
the earth. 1t will not now do to
drop the fight for the new party and
take the promises of the old parties
that they will reform and give us
assistance. It is some time until
another election, but Peoples Party
men should not lie on their oars.
Keep the matter agitated. We have
had enough of the old parties. The
new one is growing rapidly in
Oregon and other Pacific Coast
States. Next year let Nevada be
the banner State. There is no
chance with either of the old parties
Of ever getting out of the rut thu
State is in. A new deal from top to
bottom is what the country requires,
and the way to get it is to keep up
the organization. Remember who
were our friends last year also re-
member the enemies.
