perhaps faintly diluted with olive oil, reside in the United States.
 Tho consul at Bombay describes the cultivation of the peanut in India. He says the nut yields clear, straw-eol- ored, non-drying oil which resembles olive oil in taste, and in India Is largely used as substitute for olive oil. It Is also used as lamp oil. The production of oil in India hns fallon on on account of the increased exportation of the nuts. Tho natives use the nuts for food in several ways. Sometimes they are boiled, and seasoned with mustard oil, salt and chilles. Sometimes they are boiled with sweet palm juice to make q sweetheart. They are also roasted as a substitute for coffee, and the meal left after expressing the oil Is fed to ani- mals, and sometimes eaten by the na- times themselves.
 The festive peanut has been rather looked down upon by those who have felt obliged 10 set Il good example for their interiors. But the useful peanut is not to be despised. It may yet be found that circus peanuts have some good In them.

Blood, Spiders and Other Queer Things

Blood, Spiders and Other Queer Things
 Rained Down from Heaven.
 The meteorological phenomenon that dates from "the night of the big wind" and the disastrous downpour that drenched suffering humanity on that occasion is surpassed by the record of other rainstorms.
 The sky has shed tempests of blood, and more than once this phenomenon has produced consternation among men whose startled eyes beheld what they deemed was the visible sign of their impending destruction. Blood" rain is caused by the presence of infinitely little plants, animalcules or minerals in the globules. In one instance of a shower that fell at Bristol and in the Bristol channel the analytical examin- ation showed that the red color was due to ivy-berry seeds. In medieval times blood rain was prodigy; in the east it was connected with the belief that man was produced from blood that fell from heaven. It was a portent as remarkable as the "bloody host, (which, while it fourished, probably caused the death of more Jews in this country than any other individual superstition directed against that people. It is des- cribed as 'an appearance of blood flow ing from bread when bitten;" but it manifested itself in other articles of food besides bread and sometimes seemed to drop from the air. It will be remembered by historical readers that while Alexander was besieging Tyre this prodigy and the other one of "blood rain" occurred in one day, much to the consternation of the soldiers. More curious than blood rain in re- gard to the mere color was the red, vio- let and grass-green shower that fell in the south of France many years ago and made patchwork of the big lake, whereon it's manifestation was the more noticeable. This shower, again, was caused by untold myriads of diff ferently colored animalcules. Spider showers are another curiosity worthy of mention in this connection. The spiders are gossamers: and all those who have read Whites Natural His tory of Selborne will call to mind his description of the showers he ob- served. One of these, he tells us, continued for nearly whole day and the gossa-

were accepted. They were pur- chased at very low price. as the sellers had but little money, and were anxious to dispose of their stock. The animals bought arc of fino class, and especially suited for cavalry purposes. The lowness of tho cost of horses this year may be attributed to the small demand, which Is insigniii- cant when compared with the supply. Never before during the fifteen years or SO that have been inspecting horses for Tho government have I seen times So dull in the stock regions, or the stock dealers SO anxious 10 sell their animals at q small price. The small demand Is, of course, due 10 the supplanting of horse-cars by electric and cable rail- roads, the shutting down of logging camps and lumber interests in Puget Sound, and the general dullness of trade. In Portland, cars which would require 3,6OO horses, nre operated by cable and electricity. Then the freight-cnrs oper- atcd on these steel railroads have shut ont trucks and delivery wagons, on which q large number of horses were used.

Science in Australia.

In a young country such as New South Wales (says MT. Coghlan, the government statistician of that colony), where most of the people are engaged
 in the development of its material re- sources, the existence of a leisured class, or one devoted to the pursuit of science, is hardly to be looked for.
 Nevertheless it is satisfactory to find
 that the higher aims of science are far from being neglected. As far back as the year 1921, scientific society under the title of the Philosophical Society of Australia was founded in Sydney, which, after experiencing many vicis- situdes of fortune, was transformed in 1866 into. and afterwards incorporated under the title of, the Royal Society of New South Wales The society is now in a f1ourishing condition, counting amongst it's members some of the most eminent men in the colony. It's object is to forward the advancement of sci- ence in Australia. and favor original research in all subjects of scientific, artistic and philosophical interest, which may further the development of the resources of Australia, draw atten- tion to its productions, or illustrate its natural history. The proceedings, pub lished every year, include papers of the greatest interest on important scien- tific questions, especially those whose solution is of Australian interest. The study of the botany and natural histo- ry of Australia has attracted many en- thusiastic students, and the Linnaen Society of New South Wales was also established for the special purpose of furthering the advancement of these particular sciences. The society is housed in a commodious building at Elizabeth Bay, one of the most beautit ful spots near the, city, and already poBsssses library end museum The

mers descended from a surprising height. for when one gentleman hs- eended hill near at hand some three hundred feet high he found that the spiders were dropping from region Tn the atmosphere that was still beyond
 the reach Of his gaze. Dr, Martin Lister named this aerial spider the bird" from the facility with which it can traverse the air; and upon one oc- oasion when he observed shower or them at York he ascended to the top Of the minister and found that even at that altitude he was still below their level-that they were descending rom some region above that standpoint. Darwin. another observer Of spider showers, describes one he saw in 1892. when on board the Beagle. at the mouth of the La Plata river. when the vessel was some sixty miles from land; and he seems to have been the first to notice that each parachute of gossamer carried q spider aeronaut for he not only observed. them arrive on board the ship, but he also saw them reproduce new parachute, and on this frail bark launch forth again "on the bosom or the paipitating air" These gossamer showers are great mysteries and once seen cannot very readily be forgotten, for the air on these occasions becomes literally crowded with the tiny para chutes mentioned, which are composed of a few threads of almost invisible gossamer with small but lively spider attached. This may be regarded as the most beautiful thing in strange showers

society has been liberaily endowed by the late Hon. Sir William Macleay. who. not content with being one Of it's most munifeent supporters. was also an indefatisable worker in the field Of science. The sooiety's proceedings are published at regular intervals. and contain many valuable papers. togeth- CT with excellent illustrations of obs jeets Of natural history. The various scientific societies depend for support mainly on private contributions. though the government has hitherto allowed their Proceedings and Tran sections" to be printed free of charge at the government printing office in syd- ney. Among the other institutions Of q scientific character which the colony so liberally supports. the Sydney ob- servatory is not the least important. Situated in a commanding position. il is admirably fitted for the purpose 1t Is intended to serve. The present build- ing was erected in 1856. at the instance Of Sir William Denison, then governor of the colony, who took a great interest in scientific pursuits. The government astronomer has under him q complete stan of assistants. and during the year 1891 a sum of f4.9S3 was expended In connection with the institution. Me neurological observations have received special attention. as befts so impor- tant n subject In country whose pros perily depends so much upon climate. When the present astronomer took of- flee in 1870 there were In the colony only six stations. and observations on the climate, rainfall and other meteor ological phenomena were necessarily very limited in character. At the end of 1891 the number of stations had been increased to 1,0SS. Rain gauges have also been established at most of the sheep and cattle stations of the inte- rior, with a result which is highly sat isfactory. The light thrown on the true characteristics of the climate, espe- cially of that part of the colony remote from the sea coast, has tended to mod fly the notion long current as to its un- fitness for agricultural as well as pas torai settlement The Australian mu- scum, which is the oldest institution of the kind in Australia, occupies con spicuous site in the center of Sydney, facing one of the principal parks. The collections contain carefully selected specimens of the principal objects of natural history found in kindred estab- lishments, and also a most complete collection of geological specimens of distinctly Australian character. The popularity of the institution is evinced by the increasing number of persons by whom it is visited. The museum is open to the public every day except Monday. On Sundays the visitors are vety numerous. The number of visi- tors during 1892 was 13O,7O1, the daily average being TIP on Sundays and 265 on week days. The expense in connec- tion with the institution amounted to f8,412, of which portion was expended on account of purchase, collection and carriage of specimens.

10 AND THE STRIPED STOCKINGS.
They Were "Mystlfcd" and So Was the

They Were "Mystihcd" and So Was the
 Untutorcd Child of the Forest,
 The returned Lewistonian fell to talking over revolver that he carried in the arrest of desperado in New Mexico, and then he diverged and told this story:
 "Once when we were going down in the Indian Territory. as we rode out of the village we passed the house where New Brunswick girl had just come to live in the little prairie village. There had been considerable joking about the new arrival, and as we passed she came out to hang up her washing on the line I rode a little red pony-one that I had swapped shotgun for-and when l saw the New Brunswick girl hang up pair of the ever seen. I rode right up the yard and under the clothes line and seized those stockings and pulled 'em off the line and rode away.
 All that trip down across the hot plains and over the rustling buffalo grass the boys plagued me about those stockings. I had rut them into my trunk and kept them. don't know why took them or kept them.
 Well, we got down into the terri tory and among the Indians. They gre great gamblers, you know, and we bet with them everything we had. We raced and won from them all the money and blankets they possessed.
 'The blankets were United States army blankets, but we can use them by cutting out the U. s. At last we came down to foot runners, and the Indians brought out their man. He was tall, broad d. chested,s and long limbed IIe could go like the wind; and our best runner was nothing con- pared with. Why, he was the best physical man ever saw. He looked at our man and his thick lip curled in derision.
 " He no goodA-get man"
 ''The savage was stripped to his skin. I looked at our man.
 " Jake said. you wait minute Then I went and got those stockings. When I brought them out they created the biggest kind of sensation, and the curiosity to touch them was something comical.
 "They just wanted to put their hands on them to see what they were. I did not let them satisfy their curiosity, but carried them through the crowd as if they were holy relics.
 " Jake, put those on and run with them,' said.
 Why. I can't run with those on, he said.
 "Yes, you can. Don't you see that they are mystifed?"
 "He put them on, and though he was large man they came clear to his hips. We pinned them up. and he started with the big Indian. It was plain by the faces of the greasers that they had lost all faith in their man as against the striped stockings. The h. dian ran little distance and then fell behind, with his eyes fixed in ter TOT on those stockings. He was beaten. and, do you know, sold those stock ings to the Indian for five ponies and trifle."

THE PROGRESS OF THE PEANUT,

The friends of the peanut will rejoice in its rapid growth in dignity and re- spectability. The latest is that it has the high honor of being officially mo- ticed by the government of the United
 States. We have no doubt that many
 of the discriminating members of that
 government have long looked with
 secret favor on the peanut, and been
 friendly with it when they thought mo-
 body was looking, but now it is officially and openly noticed. Several consuls
 were ordered to study the peanut, and they have done so with interesting re- suits. The consul at Marseilles has an especially interesting story to tell. If
 appears that Marseilles is great place for the production of peanut oil. The peanuts used there come from India and the remainder from Africa. They cost the manufacturers who turn them into oil from s1. 93 to $2. .s9 per hundred pounds ii shelled, or about One-third less if unshelled. In Marseilles and it's vicinity are seventeen factories in which peanut oil is expressed, though all these factories also express other oils. The peanut oil at Marseilles is chiefly used in making white soap, but some of it is used like olive oil, and some for oleomargarine. The finer quality is said to make good substitute for olive oil. Indeed, says the consul, the people of all other best able to give an expert opinion as to the merit of peanut oil for table purposes, and who annually consume considera- ble, quantities. under the name of, and

SIGNIFICANT DECLARATIONS.

During the Debs outbreak there was another outbreak, and 1t was the most significant and cheering outbreak that has been seen In this country for long time. It was an outbreak of pure pa- triotisr, and it gave needed warning to rash or rascally labor leaders that they had gone too far. This patriotism found forcible and practical expression in the preamble and resolutions adopted by Lafayette Post, of the Grand Army of the Republic, located in New York. The declaration made by this post has been approved by the national commander of the Grand Army, and thus represents the sentiment of the whole organization. It will be remem- bered that part of this declaration was "that the Grand Army of the Re- public earnestly protests against the spirit of anarchy displayed ID these out break; that the right of every man to do as he sees fit so long as he obeys the law is one of the most sacred privileges secured to him by the constitution, and that forcible interference with such right is crime which should be sup pressed at any cost; that we cannot safely tolerate the unlawful interfer- ence of individuals, labor organizations or unions with either personal rights or the rights of property of individuals or corporations who are pursuing their legitimate business.n This was right to the point, and it gained much force from, the added declaration that the Grand Army stands ready to defend the liberties and peace of the country to the extent of it's ability. And this declaration was strongly supplemented by that of General John B. Gordon, who Is president of the organization of con- federate veterans. He declared that if the need should arise he would lead an army greater than ever followed Gen. eral Lee to defend the flag and maintain law and order against all who threatened the peace and safety of the republic.
 Tho meaning of these and certain other declarations that have been made during the last two weeks is that it has been perceived that liberty is in danger from anarchy, and that liberty is still prized in this land of liberty. Such fellows as Debs and his gang have reached their limit in this country, for awhile at least.
