A DROP or WATER.
The wonders That May BE Seen Therein
Through a Microscope.

AuEDukn - AANttH"+RFN%
To the ordinary mortal drop Of wa
ter IS what the primrose was TO Peter
Bell, drop Of water and nothing more,
but TO the student Of nature, armed
with high power microscope, II lmne-
diately becomes a world teelning with
living creatures, the mcst minute repre-
sentatives of animal life These thoughts
gere suggested by reading Professor
,Srace's description Of battle he once
witnessed while examining collection
Of rotifers, which were amassed IA a
single drop of fresh water. Among 9TH
ers, Mr.. Grace noticed a fine specimen
Of infusorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as II
intent ON mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
ony had lost several of its members, and
that the infusorian's form had rounded
ont until he resembled miniature ST.
Louis bartender. Mr. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusorian's S move
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
of such expert swimmers as the
rotifers are known to be was effected.
A few minlHes' wait sufficed. Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of a rotifer, which
was resting ON the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as a mouse in an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. The infusorian, seeming TO know
his victim was secure, began to goad
the tethered creature and torment 1T in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. lie would jump upon its
back and bite it in several places with
hghtninglike rapidity and then spring
off and seize leg and pull 1t almost
from its socket Mr.. Grace says that he
watched this unequal combat for nearly
a half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion.
Noting the death of his victim, the in
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as
he doubtless had done the others that
were missing.
Mr.. Grace next examined small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
in which there We're several infusorla
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sim
gle drop previously examined. 1t was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured a victim, would almost imme-
diately divide into two or four new ami
mails, each of which would quickly
swim away IN search Of prey, Jast as its
parent had done before. --St. Louis Re-

Bismarck Uranium has capacity OF

These figures become especially sig

A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.
Why should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are Note


Things That Are Note
a philosopher dwelt in house owned
hy Cleon. But one day Cleon came to
the philosopher and said, why have
you not sent me the money for last
months rentg" The philosopher said he
knew of no reason except that he had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have Go move ont, said
CIeon, Ito make room for cordwainer
! know who wants this house and has
money"
"Would you, then, said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when am SO com
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
80 years?"
1T is my comfort, y said Cleon, "and
not yours that consider. "
''Then you prefer a eordwainer, l
conclude, to a philosopher. y
"No, said Cleon; "a landlord has
10 preference except TO prefer rent mon
ey to no rent money.
So the cordwainer moved into the
philosophers S house, and the philosopher
went TO live in the mean hovel of the
cordwainer
But once there, although contented
enough, because he was a philosopher,
vet he could not avoid the obtrusive
facts of the absence of all those things
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
aim-how that which was not could be

are driven out from our bodies because

mands rental we cannot pay.
In time, however, the philosopher
gradually ceased being oppressed by the
obtrusive memories and grew accustom-
ed TO new associations.

Animal. Understand Hygiene.

Enough is now known of the nature
Of animal materia medica to excite in
terest and curiosity. There is abundant
evidence that many species know and
constantly make use of simple remedies
for definite disorders. and at the same
time observe rules of health to which
only the highest civilization or the sane
tion of religious prescription compels
man to conform.
1t has been noted that the general
condition of animal health, especially
in the case of the herbivorous creatures,
corresponds not inexactly with that of
such tribes as the Somalis, men feeding
almost solely on grain, milk, dates and
water, living constantly in the open air,
moderate in all things and cleanly,, be-
cause their religion enjoins constant
ablutions. Like them, wild animals
have no induced diseases. The greater
number do not eat to excess. They take
regular exercise in seeking their food
and drink only at fixed hours. Many OF

Considerable Uneasiness.

1t Is Said to Be Giving Minnesota Bosses
Considerable Uneasiness.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 12.-The special cor
ton says:
If w. M. Campbell fails of confrma-
ton as marshal it by no means follows
that Cardinal O'Connor will be ap-
pointed. Mr.. Doran himself is suspi-
cious of White House double deals
ever since he was promised McCaff-
erty's appointment for district attor-
ney. And Dan LAWYER has never yet
condoned the treachery Of the presi-
dent in violating his solemn promise
to Daniel that he should have the
privilege of naming the district attor-
ney. 1t is true that Doran and Lawler
are willing and eager to forgive Mr..
Cleveland, but as condition precedent
he must agree to appoint O'Connor
marshal. But there is little man not
much over four feet in height who is a
lightweight when compared with the
robust physique Of Dan Lawler and the
ruddy appearance Of NJ. Doran.
In Case Campbell Fails.
Congressman O. NJ Hall has a strong
pull with the president. and he has been
doing great work for Campbell during
the past week. Now, if Campbell does
not land the confirmation, Hall will be
in a position where he may come and
get it for one of his friends, and there is
every probability that he will be able to
name the man.
.. A test of Halls influence with the pres
ident was had when Mr.. Cleveland was
importuned to Withdraw the nomination
of Campbell. j. J. Hill asked it, and
Doran and Lawler both made the same
request. It is said that the president
had about made up his mind to accede
to the demand of the bosses, but finally
sent for Hall. A conference of half an
hour settled the matter.
The president decided that he would
stand by his nomination. He also sent
for Senator Villas and talked over
Campbell's case with him. Since that
time Villas has been one of the marshall S
chief supporters

That Charge Brought Against an Agent OF

HELENA, Mon, Feb. ID. B. Smith
is under arrest at Havre, charged with
defrauding the Great Northern out of
at least $4,000 while acting as claim
agent for stock killed and personal dam
ages. He is charged with forgery and
embezzlement. Smith had been with
the road about three years. He left Mis-
souri, four years ago with officers hot on
his heels, being charged with getting
money under false pretenses. The Mis-
souri, officers caught him at Great
Falls two years ago, but he got them ar
rested for kidnapping, and they left the
state to avoid the penitentiary. He was
known as Lewis o. Smith in Missouri.
His plan Of collecting damages that
never occurred is said to have been by
forging the names of claimants and
witnesses. Great Northern officials
claim to have a sure case against him.

There is lull in affairs here and quiet

work. There are a large number Of
conspiracy cases yet to be tried and the
probabilities are that the court will sit
for two or three weeks at least. Great
interest is attached to the forthcoming
trial Of the ex-queen. The government
claims to have more than sufficient ev
dence to convict her. What her punisl
ment will be in case of conviction
hard to conjecture. Her case will prob
ably come up on next Monday. She is
charged with treason.
Findings In Twenty-four Cases.
The military commission has brought
in findings in "a cases. Of this number
two were acquitted. The others were
all found guilty and sentences were
fixed by the commission subject to re-
view by President Dole. The sentences
vary much, all the way from sentence
of death to imprisonment for five years,
treason by the Hawaiian statutes is i'm
pIsonment for five years and fine of
not less than $1,000. The six leaders
were all sentenced to be hanged. They
are Charles T. Gulick, William H.
