The Art of Mosaic.

The slab upon which the mosaic is made
Is generally Of travGrtinc, or tiburtine,
stones connected together by iron clamps
Upon the surface Of this q mastic or ce-
menting paste is gradually spread as the
progress of the work requires it, which
forms the adhesive ground or bed upon
which the mosaic is laid. The mastic is
composed of fine lime from burned marble
and finely powdered travertine stone mix
ed to the consistGnce of paste with lin
seed oil. Into this paste are fixed the
"smalts' of which the mosaic picture is
formed
They are a mixed species of Opaque Wit
rifled glass, partaking of the nature of
stone and g. SIS and composed of variety
of minerals and materials, colored, for the
most part, with different metallic oxides
OF these, no fewer than l, 700 different
shades are in use. They are manufactured
In Rome, in the form Of long, slender rods
like wires, OF various degrees of thickness,
and are cut into pieces of the requisite
sizes, from tho smallest pin point to an
inch.
When the picture is completely finished
and the cement thoroughly dried, it is
highly polished. Mosaic, though an an
cient art, is not merely revived but an
improved ono. Chambers Journal

Fisher Tint Cannot Swim.

More than one species OF fish is met with
which cannot swim, the most singular of
which perhaps is the maltha, Brazilian
fish, whose organs of locomotion only en-
able 1t to crawl or walk or hop after the
manner of toad, to which animal this
fish to some extent bears resemblance
and 1t is provided with a long upturned
snout. The anterior (pectoraD fins of the
maltha, which are quite small are not
capable of acting on the water, but can
Ouly move backward and forward, having
truly the form Of thin paws. Both these
and the ventral and anal fins are very diff
ferent from tho similar fins in other fishes
and could not serve for swimming at all.
Other examples Of nonswimming fishes
include the seahorse, another most pecul-
iarly shaped inhabitant of the sea, which
resembles the knight in a set Of chessmen,
and the starflsh, of which there are many
specimens, which mostly walk and crawl
on the shore or rocks, both being unable
to swim.-London Fishing Gazette.

He had left us before could stop him.

At that moment Mr.. Bellweather re-

Determined not to lose Ben at any risk,
l rushed out, my comrades following me,

policemen, who had been watching near
the house. Mr.. Bcllweather alone seemed
able to discern the whereabouts of tho rob-

The pursuit became general in an in

their whistles; my two comrades, swift
runners, went their best pace. 1 found
myself last of all at the Ond of O minute,

We were neither of us good runners, and

THE OLD DREAM.


After April month and May
Love of birds will fly away.
After June light loves grown chilly
Part, though tarry rose and lily.
Oh, alasl such loves should Sunder
They who made the world a wonder,
Raining from their honey Threats
Golden notes and silver notes!
Oh, in April what unrest
Stirs the swallows Seaborn breast.
For some love of old and golden,
Where pale orchards bloom unfoldeni
For some silent heartstring stirred,
Some lost heaven remembered.
And the old dream calls him home,
Home by trackless skies and foam.
Oh, alas! such things should bel
Cold as stone are he and she.
Empty gapes the nest and wide
They two planned with such sweet pride.
The sweet nestlings flown rs far
AS the light winged lost loves are.
Love, whose love endurcs, see then
How sweet love is wrongcd againl
How these birds, from lark to sparrow,
Snap his bow and blunt his arrow!

MOdernizInR Father Time.

A French geographical society proposes
to divide the face of the clock into 10
hours, 10 minutes and 100 seconds EACH
This is to make time uniform with the
decimal system or count by tens. The
count by twelves which now shows on the
face of the clock survives from the earliest
times-probably from long before the in
vention of letters.

Bridge Across Lawyers Canyon to-
Be Built.
FOR A NEW STEAMER LINE
Talk of Narrow Gauge Railroad to Con-
meet With It--Setflers Build
ing Houses.

Denver, Idaho. Dec 2.-Camas prairie
residents and the settlers on the reserve
are strongly agitating the completion OF
the grade and the building of a bridge
across Lawyers canyon. The grading was
started but never completed and until II
Is complete 1t will be a hard matter for
teamsters to haul heavy loads from one
side of the canyon to the other. The grade
is almost impossible.
The new town of Idona now exists only
in the minds of the original promoters,
but Nez Perez City is making good prog
ress considering the time of year and the
weather Ii has been experiencing. There
are about a dozen buildings now being
constructed and few are already Occur
pied. The good farming land which has
not yet been taken up is in remote dis
tricts.
The work of improving is rapidly going
on and now nearly every claim has a
house either started or completed.

the cars for that purpose. If carried out
this will save one transfer of freight

Washington, Dec. AIN the several
cases between the Washington & Idaho
Railroad Company and the Occur d.
Alene Navigation & Railroad Company,
involving the question of right of way at
Wallace, Idaho, the United States SUI
preme court decided in favor of the Occur

cided that the United States circuit court
of Idaho had properly taken jurisdiction
in the case.
Justice Harlan rendered the opinion of
the supreme court today in the case of
Benjamin Healy, involving the price of
lands on alternate sections within rail-
road grants, entered under the desert land
laws. The court held that the laws pro-
viding a price of $3.50 per acre in such
cases had not been repealed by the tim
Der culture act, as was claimed. and that
$2.50 was under the law the correct charge
on entries within land grants.

HELENA THINKS II A BAD JOB
Prayers for Conversion of Bob Iugersoll
Mouid lie Wasted.

Helena, Dec. A local paper interview
ed all the preachers in town and some lay
men on the subject of having a special
day for prayer i'm this city for the con-
version Of Robert Ingerson Most OF the
preachers thought he was past praying
for. from the fact that he wouldn't pray
for himself. and besides, as one of them
said. ut looks like firing mighty big gun
at mighty little game" Another thought
IL would be time lost.
The laymen grew facetious. One thought
IT good idea to have the old Nick keep
his eye on Bob, as some of the rest of
them might get past him and go the 9TH
er way. There was still another who
had a settled conviction where he would
probably be in the next world, and thought
a genial soul like the pagan high priest
would be an entertaining addition to the
company, and therefore didn't want him
converted. and besides, being OF unusual
proportions. the colonel would make a
good fire screen.

Fresno, Cal, Dec. Especial Agent
Brockenborough and Deputy United

from Mariposa county, where they raided
a number of government timber thieves.
They report cordwood cut on govern

Buttes Mining Company, which is said
to be operating mine. The wood was

the Sierras. Many seizures and arrests
have been made by officers from Fresno
within the past few months.

Attorney Forney the cases of Walter
Daugherty. charged with robbing the
United States mails. and o. 1. Glenn,

ty was indicted and tried, the jury dis
agreeing. Since that time the case has

Republican Caucus Developed a
Strong Organization Feeling.
DEFINITE ACTION POSTPONED
No Combination or Compromise With
Any Element Outside the Re-
publican Party.

Washington, Dec. AT a caucus of
the republicans of the senate today
Senator Sherman was elected chairman
of the caucus and Senator Dubois sec
rotary. The discussion was informal
and centered on the question whether
the republican senator's, having a plu-
rality but not the majority of the sem
ate, should attempt reorganization
with republican officers and republican
chairmen Of committees. 1t was evil
dent that the prevailing feeling favored
republican organization and some
strong speeches were made. notably
by Senator Davis of Minnesota and
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, urg-
ing that there should be no combination
or compromise with any element out
side the republican ranks. This APP
peared to voice the general view of the
senators, and no opposition speeches
were made. The question arose, how
ever, as to whether the test Of strength
should be made by securing the COM
mittees or on the choice of president
pro tenn. In order to present this issue
Senator Hoar moved the appointment
charge of a movement to secure COM
mittee reorganization on republican
lines.
Senator Hale offered an amendment
for a test vote on the choice of a pres
ident pro tenn.
In the informal discussion following
Senator Frye was named as the prob
able candidate for president pro tenn.
ratc
ever. that the president pro tenn could
not be elected while the presiding officer
was present and acting under the same
rules. 1t was finally decided that no
vote should be taken at present, and
Messrs. Hoar and Hale withdrew their
motions. The understanding was that
a definite line of action would be agreed
on at the meeting Wednesday following
the session of that day.
The principal reason for the with
drawal OF resolutions for the appoint
ment OF a caucus committee by the
chair was the discovery of the fact
that there was large element in the
caucus opposed to the selection Of the
committee by appointment. 1t is now
understood that when the reason Is re-
newed 1t will be antagonized by a sub
stitute providing for the selection Of q
committee by the caucus.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The silver con
ference called for today was a disap-
pointment to its projectors. The only
senators who attended were Allen
Kyle, PETER and Stewart, populists
Tillman, democrat and Pritchard, Man
tie and Teller, republicans. The small
attendance showed that nothing could
be done. Senator PETER was of the
opinion that party ties were too strong
to hope to organize a silver party in the
senate.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator Faux
ner of West Virginia said today, con
corning the organization Of the senate
1--WE can not turn the senate over t
the republicans until they have thu
votes. Even with the two senators
from Utah they will not have a major
ity unless Jones OF Nevada votes will
them, which is expected. Until tina

The Pacific Mail has been charging but $50

TO Organize.

Have Not Yet Decided With What Party
TO Organize.
Washington, Dec. I'm an interview
Senator PETER says the populists will
vote as a unit on all party questions.
With regard to the reorganization of
the senate, they will not decide their
policy until the matter is presented by
the republicans. In currency questions
the populists will take no steps until
the presidents recommendations on
the retirement of greenbacks are pre-
scented. In taxation and revenue meas
ures, the program of the populists in
the house will be to not present any
measures, but to propose amendments.
On foreign questions the populists
will stand for the consonance of the
governments on the western hemi-
sphere, and while not advocating an
aggressive policy OF interference will
insist on the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine. They will express SYM
pathy for Cuba, and in regard to the
Hawaiian question will decide what
stand to take when the subject is pre-
scented in the senate. Senator PETER
said that personally he favored a pro-
tectorate rather than annexation. The
senator said he had prepared q bills for
introduction in the senate. The first
will be the bill curtailing the cost of
congressional funerals.
