for itself ten times over. What
it may produce in the future no

fields on the Yukon River are
turning out over a million dol

has discovered that the Canadian

az Pluribus Unum."

The circumstances attending the
adoption of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum" as the motto Of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians 1t was probably used
on coins-and some say upon early
colonial flags-long before it was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is a colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1875. The same year it appeared ON
small medal recognized among the col
lectOrs of coins as ''the confederntiO. :"
This medal was a national token, be-
heve, and was coined by authority of
the general government It bore ON one
side ID stars and blazing sun, the lat
ter surrounded by the word "Confeder-
alto, which gives il the name by which
it is known to the numismatists.
The words in the headline are un-
doubtedly from Virgil's "Moretus, a

A THEOLOGICAL WONDER.
The Complicated Time Keeping OdGlfy In
vented by N Russian Pole.


The prize wonder in the shape Of a
clock is the invention of a Russian Pole
named Goldfadon. The inventor is a
clockmaker Of Warsaw and boasts that
he worked over Z. 1000 days ON this tino
keeping oddity. The clock represents "A
railway station, with waiting rooms for
travellers, telegraph and ticket Offices
and very pretty and natural platform,
well lighted and having in its center n
flower garden and a spouting fountain.
There are also signal boxes, lights,
switches, water tanks-in fact, every
thing used in conjunction with n well
regulated railway station There is q
dial in the center tower, which shows
time at New York, Peking, Warsaw and
London Every quarter Of an hour the
station begins to show signs Of life.
First all of the little figures of telegraph
operators begin TO work their machines,
the head hutomaton going through the
form Of sending a dispatch to the effect
that 1.-THE line is clear. Then the door
opens, and upon the platform appear
the station master and his assistants.
Next a long line Of little figures file up
to the miniature ticket Office.
After this the porters appear, carrying
luggage, the bell rings, and instantly
miniature train dashes out of a tunnel
and halts before the platform of the sta
tion house. While the train is waiting
miniature figure tests the wheels and
Axles with a tiny hammer, another
pumps water into the tank Of the en-
gine, while q third busies himself stow

Of the bell, whereupon the door Of the
single coach opens, and the little figures
slide in on an almost invisible wire,
the opening closing after them A sec
ond tap Of the bell is the signal for the
wheel tester, waterman and fuel carrier
TO retire into the station house
After the third signal the whistle
gives two toots, and the train quickly
disappears in a tunnel opposite to the
one from which it emerged i've minutes
before. When the train is out Of sight,
the station master and his assistants
leave the platform, the doors close be-
lind them, and they all retire to the
other side Of the station house, where,
at the expiration Of 10 minutes, the
train again appears, and the passengers
file out and seat themselves in the build

TRIcKING A CRAB.
African Natives Take Advantage OF Hls
Industry In N HeartIess Manner.

African Natives Take Advantage OF Hls
Industry In N HeartIess Manner.
In Africa there exists certain mem
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab This peculiar
shellfish has an offensive trick of
crawling up the cocoanut trees, biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward
The theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall. and the great tree crab
is thus enabled to enjoy hearty meal
Now, the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive, and
they believe that the "bivalve'' was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground,
and when, consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop his
depredations, which often ruin the CO.
cOanut crops. is this: While the crab is
engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or 80
of the nails TO project.
The crab has no knowledge Of disas-
ter, nor yet the fitness of things. As he
descends the sensitive part of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground, he naturally
let's go. Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own shell on the ground

LOPSlpEp HENS.


How @ Cape Elizabeth Man Produced a
Breed Of NOnserAtchers-
Speaking Of hens reminds me of a
worthy townsman Of ours. J. Fairfield
Tuttle. who had a small patch Of straw
berries SO situated that only fence,
and poor one &C that, divided them
from a neighbor's henyard, and these
same hens bothered our friend very
much by getting through the fence and
scratching up the strawberry plants
Our friend tried many WAYS to rid
himself Of them, but failed until one
day he saw his neighbor in the act Of
setting another hen.
Now, it's necessary for you TO know
that the hens above mentioned were of
what is known as the Shanghai breed
and had very long legs. 1t occurred 10
our friend Tuttle that he saw a way out
OF the difficulty. So procuring half a
dozen bantam (short legs) eggs he stole
over during the night, took out six OF
the eggs that were under the hen and
replaced them with the six bantam.
What was the result? When the chicks
were Matched, each one had one short
and one long leg, and when they would
stand ON the short leg and try to scratch
with the long one they would only sue
coed in throwing themselves over
When they would stand ON the long leg,
the short one would not reach the
ground by several inches, and so in the
matter Of scratching they were not in il,

ONE HEAD USHER.
The Ways Wherein He Differed From
Others of His Calling.

Others of His Calling.
It is as old as the Proverbs that the
cohbler's children are always poorly
shod
The restaurant man goes home for
dinner. and the bartender is a total abb
stainer.
The druggist may patronize the faith
cure and the railway man knows of no
greater luxury than a ride in a buggy.
The street car conductor is glad to get a
day off, so he can take long walk
A more remarkable case than any Of
these is that of the head usher at the
theater. and one theater in particular
Probably every playgoer in Chicago
knows him. The title Of "head usher"
does him an injustice. He is more like q
host or the chief of a reception commit
tee
There are head ushers who pouce
upon you, grab the coupons, thrust them
back into your fumbled hands and shout,
First aisle to the right I"
There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry up or step lively. They
give loud warming that all coupons must
be ready.
They shout, Hey, therep' and are
constantly distracted because Of the i'm
mense responsibility which they imagine
is resting upon them.
As soon as a snippy young man gets
into a box Office or is engaged as an
usher, he begins to imagine that he
owns the house. the company and good
part of the frontage in the block
But the exceptional head usher is
calm, polite, attentive and solicitous.
No matter how rapidly the crowd may
pour in, it seems that every one who
comes receives some courtesy at his
hands.
He doesn't shout or grab and the
small children are not afraid of him.
The most remarkable thing about this
model master Of ceremonies, however,
is that he knows very little about actors
or plays.
The other evening, when the house
was crowded and the performance was
being received with noisy approval, a
man who came into the foyer between
acts remarked to him, We'll, it's a
funny show. "

rhs oascade Reserva,ion.

A correspondent writes from Bake
Oven desiring information as to the con-
dition of the Cascades reservation, and
as to whether stockmen are forbidden to
pasture their stock thereon.
The language used by the president in
his proclamation is: THAT there is
hereby reserved from entry or settlement
and set apart as public reservation, all
those certain tracts, etc."
1t will be seen from this that the lands
are only withheld from entry or settle
ment. There is nothing mentioned
concerning the use of the land for graz
ing or other purposes, and no intimation
that citizens are to keep off the grass.
There is no penalty provided for tres
passing upon the reservation, and in
fact the only object in the law was to
prevent the title to the lands passing
from the government. There is no
reason why stockmen should not utilize
the grass, and herd their hocks at will
anywhere they please on the reservation.
Keep off the grass only applied to Coxey.

the town being dull and times being

The rain of which we got only a

of Us. In valley quite shower
fell, and commencing few miles south
of The Dalles the rain was heavy enough
to be of substantial benefit. Out at
Tygh and Bake Oven there was balf an
inch, and at other points one of the
showers dropped that much. 1t will
prove of great benefit to the crops, and
especially to the range grass.

The Bear Gone.

Floyd Harmon's bear, which has
heretofore furnished THE CHRONICLE
several interesting items, will leave this
city forever today. He was sold Satur-
day to the o. R. & NJ, and goes to Mea-
cham to be placed on exhibition at the
company's eating station at that point.
Saturday Mr.. Fish, Nick Sinnott, and
two or three others went down into the
basement to put collar and chain on
him, preparatory to turning him over to
his new owners. He showed fight, and
it was only after getting chain around
his neck and choking him into submis-
sion that the collar was placed on him.
Yesterday evening he was taken to the
freight depot, and another circus was
had getting him ''crated'' for shipment.
In the melee he broke his chain, and
then the fun began and lasted three
hours before he was conquered. He was
finally driven into corner, one end of
the crate was opened, and it was pushed
around him. He was dead game, and
was only whipped by superior numbers
and q variety of clubs.
