WATTS ExoNERArED.
Board of Supervisors Endorses His Admins
tratIon of tho Relief Fund.


tration OF tho Relief Fund.
Colonels Lindt and Daley made their ar
guments yesterday morning before the Board
of Supervisors in the matter Of firing j. ].
Watts, commissioner of the soldiers relief
fund. The board took the matter under ad-
vsement, and just before adjourning passed
a resolution denying the request Of the
members OF Abe Lincoln post that Watts be
turned off. This was foreseen by all who
paid any particular attention to the progress
of the investigation, for, particularly during
it's closing hours it was nothing more or less
than a huge farce, CARRIE on at the eX-
pense of the taxpayers, for the benefit Of the
score or more or persons who attended. 1t
is claimed by Watts friends that the dis
affection commenced among the members Of
Abe Lincoln post when he refused to take
s25 out of the relief fund to be used in
fitting up a soldiers room at one CT the
local hospitals. Upon making investigation
he found that the room was not to be used
exclusively for soldiers, and he consequently
did not feel authorized TO spend the public
money in that way. The Grand Army men
who We're getting up the scheme had 1t in
for him from that time on, and went 80
far as to get together a ponderous pile Of
atiidavits during December 1892, and jan
uary, 1898. For some reason or other the
afhdavits have been sidetracked for the last
twelve months. but last week were dragged
out from their pigeon hole and pressed into
active service.
Besides attending to this matter, the board
+ passed a resolution instructng the county
treasurer to enforce the collection of de-
fnquent liquor taxes, and the county attorney
to close up all saloons which were run with
out the payment of the taxes.
The proposition Of l.. swearingen, jr., to
collect the costs due In civil cases for one
third OF the amount realized was accepted,
The board then adjourned untii February l9.

The High school Site.

The proposition of the school board to grade
down the hill by the High school is arousing
more opposing talk than the Importance Of
the suggestion would on its surface seem to
warrant II means. in fact. a quiet but
certain settlement for all time of the per-
picking question as to where the High school
should be located. 1t is claimed by those
who have measured the proposed excavation
that 1t will cost $4,000. II this amount is
expended in preparing the site there will in
all probability be no further opportunity for
the public to secure the change which many
desire. There seems to be no very en-.
thusastic desire on the part OF taxpayers
to increase their burdens, especially in these
time, and as there is coupled with the proposi-
tion the permanent location OF the High
school on the hill, there seems little prospect
of its meeting the approval OF the voters.
The opposition to the scheme is already
bubbling quite vigorously, and the COM
plants about the present location are being
reiterated with a good deal of vigor.

Ivory Dust.

Ivory dust for jelly is sold in London
at sixpence per pound. It is the waste
which results from the manufacture Of
ivory into various articles, and work
shop will accumulate, according to
amount of output, from five to six
pounds of dust in week. The proper
lions are one pound of dust to a quart
of water, boiled for eight or ten hours.
The product is a clear jelly, which is
strained and favored to taste or diluted
for the purpose of soup.
But the stock of elephant ivory is dy-
ing out; substitutes are used largely in
place of it. There is vegetable ivory,
the seed Of low growing palm i'll
South America, each seed about the size
Of hens egg, and various artificial
worries, compound Of caoutchouc, sui
phur and some white substance, pipe
clay, gypsum or oxide Of zinc, or, more
simple still, mixture of skimmilk
and borax, which, compressed, forms in
to o cream colored block, and may be
used in place Of native African ivory,
which it closely resembles.
Thus even when the elephant becomes
as extinct as the dodo, ivory jelly may
still keep up, if not add to, its reputa-
tion.-London Letter.

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST.

III Method Of Leaving the Seventoon-year-
old Shell Behind II.
Those who love to watch the opera
tions of nature will find much interest
in observing how the locust leaves the
case in which it has lived for IL years
in the earth. One who watched them
thus tells his story:
"Naturalists say they come out only
in the night For almost two weeks /
watched them nightly, and they made
their appearance an hour before sun
down, increasing in numbers until
dark. Crawling by thousands through
the grass and over the bare ground III
their brown casing, which they are
about to throw off, they are often COW
cred with mud. Ascending weeds, posts,
fences and frame work in droves, and
particularly trees, they fix themselves
to the bark and on the leaves. At this
time they encounter many enemies, as
chickens, hogs, squirrels and birds are
very fond Of them. Our cat was seen
every evening watching in the grass,
seeming to relish them as dainty.
Zone evening I secured seven on one
branch and witnessed the operation OF
their new birth by lamplight. They
were some time running up and down
selecting a position. Once fairly fixed
the back part of the head soon becomes
smooth and glossy, as if stretched to it's
utmost tension. In five minutes from
the time of settling in position a longi-
tudinal fissure appeared, showing q
threadlike white line where the split CO.
ours, on the back of the head, extending
finally from the first joint, connecting
the proboscis or forceps to the body
joint, half an inch in length. In three
minutes more the head had pressed its
way out. Gradually the fore legs were
withdrawn from their sockets-say in
one minute.
"Then the whole body swung slowly
backward, head down and feet outward,
suspended with an occasional tremon
as if trying to extricate the hind part
and legs. When it had hung for three
minutes, it then very slowly, like an
acrobat, brought its body up to the orig
inal position, withdrew the hind legs
and body, and in two minutes more
stood outside the pupa skin in full form,
an inch~long, of awhile, waxy appear
ance, with red eyes like rubies- The
wings showed only as mass of cramped
up white film. In minute the wings
had grown to three-quarters of an inch,
by measurement; in three minutes to
one inch and in six and half ninutes
to the full size of one and quarter
inches in length and half an inch in
breadth. In % minutes the whole proc
ess was accomplished. The yearly 10
Gust would be as we'll worth watching. F"
