Oregon Has the Honor Of Having the
Roughest Tract Known to Man.
Assistant Chief Goode of tho United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the wild
est region Of the entire United States is
an area Of 1000 square miles lying in
the mountains between Roseburg and
Coquille in Douglas and Coos counties.
He describes 1t as mysterious undis-
covered country, in which roams undis-
turbed wild game, and whose brooks
and rivers are filled with wild fowl. II
is nearly all covered with q dense
growth of pine, fir, hemlock and other
trees Many Of the trees are Of enor-
nous size and stand so closely that it is
difficult for men to make their way be-
tween them. Where the trees are not SC
thick the heavy growth of bushes of va.
rious kinds takes their place.
1t Is country that is filled with all
kinds of wild game, including, as re-
ported to him, elk, different kinds OF
bear, mountain lions, deer and other
animals, including lynx and others.
There are also the varied kinds of fowl.
The streams all have an abundance Of
trout and other kinds Of fish. He pene-
trated into the wilds a dozen miles and
saw things that filled him with wonder
at the vastness Of tho forest, and that
any one should attempt to live in it. -

Prize Fighting Among Fish.

One of the popular amusements Of
Siam is fish fighting, just as horse rae
ing holds high place in England.
The two fighting fish are placed in o
huge bottle together, and they proceed
to take each others measure, shoulder
up to each other in schoolboy fashion
and back and push around the ''ring, I"
the small fins vibrating rapidly all the
time, and each little being quivering
with excitement and wrath. This goes
on for some minutes, until, as the speo-
tators are growing impatient, one fish
suddenly makes dart and bite at his
adversary's tail. Henceforth there is no
hesitation until one or other gives in.
The Siamese back their fish just as
money is staked ON horses here, and
then the battle is continued until one
fish is chased around the bottle by the
other. But this is usually an affair Of
an hour and frequently three or four.
The fish are reared specially for fight
ing and display wonderful pluck and
discrimination.
The tail is the part which shows most
damage. although It is very easily torn,
but a good grip ON the side fin is very
effective. They display considerable
agility in evading their opponent,

RAIN INDICATIONS.

why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Ab-
solute Certainty Of Coming Storms.
In order to better understand the role
placed by cirrus clouds as rain indica.
tors, we must first discuss tho causes Of
these occurrences. A study of the wealth
or Indications and barometrical read
ings, as they appear in our daily papers
from the report Of our Weather Bu-
reau," shows that areas Of high or low
air pressure are constantly passing over
the earth's surface in irregular success
sion. The areas Of high atmospheric
pressure-or barometric maxima, me-
teorologically expressed-stay longer in
one locality than the areas of low pres
sure = the depression or barometrical
minima. These last are more or less de.
fined currents Of air, which circle in
the form of wind around the region of
the lowest atmospheric pressure, NOV
ing always from north to west or from
south to east-the reverse Of the hands
of clock. It must not be imagined,
however, that the air simply moves
around this area of depression, but rather
that it is constantly being drawn into
its center and is carried upward in great
whirls or spirals. As the air rises, it ex-
pands and becomes colder. The vapors 1t
contains condense into clouds and final
ly are transformed into rain. Tho cen.
ter of the barometrical depression is
therefore marked by cloudy, rainy
weather. The wind which encircles tho
depression becomes more active as the
difference of the atmospheric pressure
becomes more marked, or, in other
words, as the barometer falls.
In brief, therefore, barometrical de-
pressions are caused by huge ascending
spirals, or whirls of air, which are car
ried upward to extreme heights, and
from there are waited in any direction.
In these heights tho humidity of the at
mosphere is frozen and is waited away
in closed forms which are composed of
ice crystals. These are none other than
cirrus clouds. and they may float sew
eral hundred miles from the seat of the
depression. 1t will now be seen why
cirrus clouds may be justly regarded as
forerunners of rain, even when they
make their appearance in clear weather.
They tell with absolute certainty of an
approaching atmospheric depression,
and this is substantiated by gradual
falling Of the barometer soon after they
make their appearance. Home and

The Way Ingenious Tradesmen Make Re-

1t is not every one who knows how to

wholesale and retail prices. All up and

mont Positively no goods at retail. -"
Inquiry at these places will only bring
out the assurance that everything is

the retail price is neither q very COM
