BLAMES THE AMERICANS.
Toronto, Ont, january TO-
Mr.. Percy Ireland, who has just
arrived from South Africa as
the representative here Of a
company which is to hold an
international industrial exbibi-
ton atJohanpesburg next Aiay,
speaking Of the dih alties. in
the irausraal, blames The
Americans for the Jameson
raid iiasco. lie says that when
he left johannesburg, six weeks
ago, the Uitlanders were NOV
ing in expectation Of Jamieson's
invasion, and that all outsiders
except americans were prepar-
ed to welcome him. The immi-
from the United States
stood in the way, however, and
to their efforts was doubtless
due the Doctors "throw-down. "
These American, though they
resented Boer oppression, were.
opposed to any movement that
might end in the Ironsvaal be
coming colonial possession of
Great Britain. The reason hey
gave for this attitude was that
if Great Britain came into pos
session of the country the high
wages obtainable there now
would be reduced before the

LEAP YEAR.

The present year Of grace,
1896, enjoys the distinction Of
being the last leap year of the
nine teeuth century. The year
1900, which ends the century !,
is not n leap year. and conse
quently February will not have
the twenty ninth day until
1904.
Many people are mystifed
by the fact that 1900 Is not a
leap year. This is because the
rule for leap years is not fully
understood. Most people as
sumo that it happens every
fourth year-reasoniug that the
revolution Of the earth around
the sun is accomplished in
365 IA days, and that the frac-
'ion make just a day every
fsurth year.
But the time of the earth's
yearly revolution is not exact
ly 36J days, 6 hours. It's 800
days, 5 hours, AZ minutes and
1862 seconds. The Gregorian
rule is, that every common
year which can be exactly
divided by 4, and every cen
turial year which are to be
leap years. In 400 years, there
is a difference Of only p So
which only amounts
to a day in 3,866 years.
Hence 1900 is not a leap
year, because it is not divisi-
bic exactly by 400, while 1000
will be the next centurial leap
year.-Toledo Blade.

his views as to the length of

press rather decided opinions
relative to the annoyance TO
which Presidents are subjected
from Office seekers. The article
is practical, based upon expert
ence and observation, and is
very timely. General Harrison
believes that the fears express
ed by the trainers of our Con
stituuon) that the power Of the
Office is such as to enable an
ambitious incumbent to secure
an indefinite succession of terms
have never been realized. ~In
practice the popular opinion
has limited the eligibility of
the President to one re elected.
But some of our leading and
most thoughtful public men
have challenged the wisdom
of the four-year term, and have
advocated six years, usually
accompanied with a prohibition
of a second term. And unless
some method can be devised bv
which a less considerable part
of the four-year term must be
given TO hearing applicants
for Office and to making ap
pointments, it would be wise to.
give the President, by extend
ing the time, 4 better chance
to show what be can do for the
country. 1t must be admitted,
also, that ineligibility to n
second term will give to the
Executive action greater indie
peudence. 1t seems unlikely,
however, that any change in
the Presidential term will be
made unless some unexpected
event should stir into action a
thought that is now of n the
oretical rather than practical

The top of the head is brick red, the
back is a metallic blue, shading to an
aluminium color on the belly. The
mesian line is strongly arched and
marked by series of large scales. The
whole fish is covered with pure white
round spots. The fms are strong
spined and extend nearly the whole
length of the fish. The long spine of
the dorsal is ten inches in length. The
tail is Innate. The color of the fins is
bright vermillion. edged with sulphur
yellow. The mouth is small and tooth
less, the lower lip protruding and of a
vermillion color. The eyes are large
and round.
None of the books on fishes in the
libraries of the University of Washing
ton or the Young Naturalists' society
give any description of this new visitor
of the fnny tribes. The nearest de-
scription found in the books are of
two celebrated fishes of the Atlantic
ocean. Ore of these Atlantic forms is
the Opah King fish. which is described
as great delicacy. but is so rare that
not many have had an opportunity of
trying it. But one of the nearest reIa-
tives of this new fish is the Zeus faber
or the John DoTy" of the Atlantic.
This is highly-prized food fish, but it
is never taken in quantity.

PUGET SOUND FISH.


Deep-sea Fellow Of Brilliant Hue, Not
Known by Scientists.
Scientists are startled when they find
new fish weighing 20 pounds. Here
on Puget sound, says the Seattle Post
lntelligencer, where all the natural
history is so new and attractive to sci
entists, it has been quite common to
find from FIVE to ten new species of fish
during summers dredging, but it has
been many years since so rare fish was
caught as the one calling forth this
article.
On September IS, 1896, while fishing
on the banks some % miles south-south-
west of Cape Flattery in the schooner
Wenoma, Capt. Jacobson caught a
strange and uncommonly beautiful fish
in IS fathoms of water. The fish Il
26h inches long, II inches deep, and
about four inches thick. It weighs 20
pounds, and in high coloring surpasses
nearly every other fish Of the ocean.

FOSSILS IN THE BAD LANDS.

Discoveries Recently Made in South Da.
kots by Prof. Todd.
There was brought to this place a
few days ago the strangest collection OF
bones and petrifcations that one could
wish to see, says Hermosa Is. d. let
ter to the New York Sun. It was sent
by the party of scientists under Prof
Todd, state geologist, who have been Mt
work in the Bad Lands for some weeks
and last week found hin of tufa and
volcanic ash which at intervals quakes
and shakes. They have been for some
time In the section between Wounded
Knee creek and Battle creek. near the
scene of the Pine Ridge affairs with
the Sioux some years ago.
They have found quantities of the
fossiliZed remains of turtles, with shells
from two 10 three feet in diameter. and
OF the brontotherium, hoglike animal
from IL to IA feet in length. as we'll as
the oredon, prehistoric animal whose
appearance was that of sheep.
The water in the region is saturated
with clay, held in solution. and it re-
mains indefinitely without settling,
giving the water the color and consis-
tency of cream. This has been the
cause of great suffering among the geo.
logists, as it has been almost impos-
sible to get water fit to drink. The light
colored clay buttes composing the en-
tire face of the country are nearly all
wet. and are so slippery that it is like
walking up an incline of smooth ice to
climb them.

The REGISTER will publish special
and exhaustive write up of lola and
its resources about two weeks from
date. The time is OppOrtune for such
q venture, and a large edition of this
character sent abroad ought to be of
great benefit to our people. Arrange
ments have been made with Capt. s.

movement is worthy of liberal support

ing details are too fresh i'm the minds
OF our readers TO require their repeti-
tion now. The betrayal of an innO-
cent girl, followed by an attempt to
conceal that wrong by another which
rusulted in the death of both mother
and child by means so violent that
the bare thought of it makes one sick
aud faint, constitute the blacklist
crime ever committed in Allen county.
The murder of Pearl Bryan near
CINCINNATI year ago set the whole
country talking; but the manner and
method of that crime was mercy itself
compared with the awful death that
WAS inflicted upon poor Della Hutch
insOn.
The evidence upon which Rogers
was convicted was all circumstsntiaI,
but it was so conclusive and over
whelming that the verdict of the jury
met with universal approval. County
Attorney Bennett conducted the pros
ecution without any assistance what
ever, and the skilful presentation of
the evidence and the two strong argu-
ments that he made elected the most
unstinted praise from all who attend
ed the trial FOust & Son, Amos &
Amos and ChOguill appeared for the
defence and every point was strongly
contested.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

AS foreshadOwed In last week g
REGISTER the result of the trial OF
Jacob Rogers for the murder last July
of Della Hutchinson and her unborn
child resulted in q verdict against the
defendent, the jury after being out all
night bringing in a verdict of guilty
Ofmuder in the second degree. When
brought in to hear the verdict the
prisoner showed plainly enough by
the worn and bsggsrd look on his
face that he had slept little if any, but
when the verdict was read instead of
breaking down he seemed relieved
rather than otherwise, as if it were
lighter than he had anticipated.
On Saturday morning he was
brought into court to receive his SEN
tence. When asked by the court if
he had any legal reason to offer why
Judgment should not be pronounced
upon him according 10 law, he said:
81 think the verdict is as light as the
jury could have given with the evil
dence that was before them. But I
don't think l had a fair shake. /
would like to have a new trail for l
believe l could produce more and
better evidence. / am not guilty, and
want a new trial" 1.-The iury have
found you guilty." said the Judge.
"aDd the motion made by your at
torneys for a new trial has been de-
MED. II is the Judgment of the court
that you be confined in the State
penitentisry at hard labar for twenty
one years" The sentence was re-
eeived without any apparent emotion
on the part of the prisoner.
The crime for which Jacob Rogers
is to give twenty years out of the
middle Of his life was reported fully
in the REGISTER at the time of its
last JHly, and the shock
