Huxley as a teacher can never be for

his lecture room promptly as the clock

his head bent forward ..as if oppressive

He spoke between his lips, but with per-
fectly clear analysis, with thorough in

was far above the average OF his students

THREE BIG Jog RATS.

Portland Oregonian.

Portland Oregonian.
Capt II. X. Robertson and Mr.. w /.
Reed OF san Francisco aredn the city. Their
object is to buy sufficient fine lumber 10
construct three more large rafts, similar
to those built last year, for Shipment To
San Francisco. After visiting Stella and
ascertaining what arrangements could be
made with the lumbermem III that neighbor-
hood, Mr.. Robertson will take 4 trip To the
lumber districts OF the sound before com
plctng his purchases.
The matter of towing the timber to the
sea is subject to which Mr.. Robertson is
giving considerable attention, as lie can
have his RATS towed from sound points to
the mouth Of the Columbia river for $50
each less than he is required to pay for
towing the same from points on the Column
bia river TO the lightship Off Astoria. For
the three RATS this would make n differ
ence OF $3.50. The cost OF towing the RATS
from the mouth of the Columbia To San
Francisco is 81 600 each, which brings
the total cost OF towage TO each raft to
81 $50 and $1,000, according to the place
from which the raft has TO be taken in tow.
1t is probable, howerer,-thatthe lumber
will he purchased and the RATS constructed
at or near Stella, as Mr.. Robertson has
$4,000 plant at that point for this work.
which would cost considerable to transport
to Puget Sound.
Though they intend to arrange for fell
ing the trees at once, the RATS will not be
commenced until some time in March. 1t
Will require Il little over four months to
construct the three.
These RATS viii be of a uniform size.
viz, 521 feet long, 81 feet wide, 80 feet
deep ard drawing 90 feet of water when
fioated, and will contain some 5.o00,000
superficial feet of lumber each, board meas
ure. The lumber shipped, which includes
piling and spar timber, saw logs and long
timber OF every description, will be packed
in cradle constructed for the purpose.
The raft, when ready TO Be towed, will
resemble cigar in shape, flattened ON the
upper side and tapering to d point at each
end. When the legs are placed in the cradle
large tow chain Will be run through the
center of the raft To this will be con-
nected other chains, running herring bone
fashion, every twelve feet fastened TO
other chains, surrounding lind binding the
logs together the same distance apart. The
manner of constructing these RATS Is most
ingenious, and was patented by the in
ventor, Capt. Robertson, some years ago.
Mr.. Robertson will make contracts for
the lumber, which is to be Oregon fir, to
be placed alongside the cradle in the water,

The exports of live stock continue
on large scale. Advices from
Australia say that a scant wheat
crop will be harvested there. This
will keep the price at firm rate.
The directors of the Hebrew col

here from London, are making an
investigation into the subject, and
all those who prove to be idle and
worthless amongIthe colonists, will
be returned to Europe.
AS soon as President Uriburu re.
assumes Office, he will appoint
military officers to command the
zones designated by congress, and
the chiefs of the various depart
ments Of the National guard.
The Herald's correspondent in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, telegraphs
that heavy freshets have caused
great damage In various sections
OF the country.
A new municipal loan has been
negotiated, the money to be applied
for the Hygenic Improvement OF
the capital.
There are twenty deaths daily
from yellow fever within the city
limits.
The Herald's correspondent in
Montevido, Uruguay, telegraphs
that the floods in the republic,
caused by the heavy rains Of the
last few weeks, have caused loss Of
life.
The commercial public is greatly
opposed to the scheme OF the gov
eminent to establish a national
bank. The opinion is freely ex-
pressed that the plan is one de-
signed for the enrichment OF
favored politicians.

NIOARAGUA'S PROGRESS.
A Good Showing Made in the Annual Mes
sage of the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Hon.
Lewis Baker, United States minis
ter to Nicaragua, has supplied
the state department with extracts
from the annual message to con-
gress of President Celaya, which
indicate the excellent financial
standing of Nicaragua and the
material progress made during the
year. The president, who found a
large deficit in the treasury when
he assumed Office, now reports he
has paid of $379,370 of the foreign
debt, which amounts to but $780,
600 now, at AZ, having twenty
years to run, and has also paid
So, l57 ,446 of the domestic debt and
retains $7l3,179 in the treasury.
At this rate the republic could be
free from debt inside OF three years.
1t is not proposed to apply the sur
plus receipts to the eXtinguish-
ment of the debt, however, but in
stead to the building Of a railroad
to connect Lake Nicaragua with
the Atlantic at Rama and there
connect with steamers to the Unit
ed States and Europe, which it is
expected will do much to develop
the commerce of the country. The
only reference to the canal conces-
sion in the presidents message is
the following paragraph:
at has been lamentabl
error to have set aside the
great highway that nature has
given us to connect ourselves with
thelAtlantic Ocean so that now it
is nearly lost, and to mend a part
of this great mistake the railroad
to Rama will bring us into into
Immediate connection with the
world and give us material posses
sion of that rich part Of the Allan
tic coast in which the Nicaraguans
have so many interests. But this
does not mean that we ought to
leave the river San Juan alone. We
are obliged to everything In our
power to construct that principal
artery of commerce and most valu-
able and beautiful possession ma.
ture has given u.s."
The president also takes credit
to himself for having, reopened
and bettered the public schools,
closed by his predecessor.
