him, but beyond that he said 1t would be
impossible to determine, before the letters
of the State were removed, whether the
Church was "the bride of Christ or of the
aristocracy."
| M. Chauvin, the barber and hsirdresser
who has been elected member of the
French chamber of deputies, is seeking to
have law passed forbidding ladies to wear
hats at the theater, since, If such custom
can be introduced, elaborate coiffures,
which mean money for the hairdressers,
will once more be the fashion. At recent
meeting of the hairdressers n. Chauvin ar
ranged the locks of q blonde young woman
on the platform. At the completion of
the ceremony, throwing up his hands, he
| proclaimed, "Coiffure rAlliance. Last
creation of M. Dupuy." The band played
the Russian anthem and the people in the
| hall were crazy with enthusiasm.
1t is now proposed to send joint com
mittee of both houses of congress to
Nicaragua next winter. This committee
ia to 90 over the route OF the proposed
canal, or 30 much of 1t as work has been
done upon, and then report upon the con-
| dition of things as 1t finds it. This visit
| is to be preliminary to consideration by
congress of the relation the United States
| is to assume toward this undertaking, and
! those who favor government ownership of
| the canal or government aid toward build
| ing 1t are in favor of this action by the
house and senate. 1t is urged, too, that
| such report, If favorable, would do much
to rewaken public interest in the canal
| and aid the proposed attempt to get money
to build it by private purchase of its stock
| and bonds.
Game is still plenty in some parts of this
| country. Some idea of the abundance of
game, big and little, in the wildernesses of
the northwestern mountain ranges may be
gathered from the record of a seasons
hunting, for business, In the Cascade
mountains about Mount Hood. by W. G.
Clark, noted trapper, who used one time
to hunt with Buffalo Bill. He pitched his
camp on the south side of Mount Hood
just about snowfall last year, and was in
exile for six or eight months. Part of the
time the snow was twenty feet deep. In
little more than month he killed 100 elk
and over 200 deer, sending the meat down
to Portland by packer. When the snow
got too deep for hunting he took to his
traps, and when summer set In returned to
civilization with $4,000 worth of mink,
lion, sable, msrten, fox and other skins,
including several silver gray fox skins,
which are worth $50 each. Altogether he
cleared about So, 900 by his seasons hunt
ing. He got no bears, for though there
are plenty of them in the mountains, they
are holed up in the winter.
A novelty in electric lighting is being
New York city. Instead of arranging the
incandescent lamps on one circuit and
feeding them continuously from the same
source, they are arranged on number of
separate circuits, say four, and the cur
rent Ia alternately switched from one to
the other in regular succession, the idea
being that the current, having heated each
successive circuit of lamps to incsndes-
cence, will be returned again to that series
before the lamp flaments have time to
cool. The means by which this is accom-
plished is the employment of a special in
terrupter or rotary cylinder, on which the
segments are go arranged that system of
brushes, with which they make contact,
carries the current alternately to each
| series of lampa. The periodicity of the
current in this device is about seventy per
second. Notwithstanding the loss of en-
ergy in the interrupting mechanism, the
| inventor claims that between two and three
times as many lamps can be operated from
| given source of energy by his system as
| by any other system now in use.
An article on the presence of gold in the
| Appalachian region of Maryland which was
recently printed in Baltimore paper re-
called to lawyer of that city the fact that
the United States Supreme court has de-
cided that all deposits of gold and silver in
| Maryland belong to the state and not to
the owner of the land In which they lie
He cites as authority the case of Shoemaker
va. the United States in the last published
volume of Supreme court reports Q40.
The plaintiff had been the owner of the
land in the District of Columbia which was
condemned for park purposes. He alleged
| that there was q deposit of gold on it,
which he contended did not pass to the
government by the condemnation proceed
ings. The land In question was formerly
in Maryland and was included in the grant
by Charles l. to Lord Baltimore. This
grant specifically conveyed to Lord Balti-
more all the mines, minerals, and ores in
the land covered by the grant, he paying
the crown a royalty of one-ffth of the
minerals, gold, silver. etc., that might be
mined and utilized. Lord Baltimore made
many oonveysnces, and the one of the tract
held by Shoemaker among them, reservine
to himself all the minerals that might be
in the lands conveyed. The Supreme court
(opinion by Mr.. Justice Shiras) held that nc
right to the gold and silver and minerals
passed to the purchasers of these tracts
but that they remained in Lord Baltimore
and his successors, subject to the royalty
to the crown, and that such proprietary
right passed to the state of Maryland wher
Lord Baltimores grant was confscated
and subse quently to the United StsteI
when Maryland ceded to them the lsnt
of which Shoemsker's tract was e part.
