City Conservatives.

The modern conservatory is not in
tended for the cultivation of flowers,
bnt merely as place to advantageouslv
display them, says an exchange. Trop-
zeal foliage is preferred, not only be-
cause it is decorative, but because it
comes from the shadowy, sitting jun
giles and can be appropriately housed in
the steam-heated, shaded city house.
For conservatories such as these there
ere mo gardens. They are stocked and
tended by some city florist. When a
rich man wants a conservatory he goes
TO bis florist and tells him the sort OF
effect he wants to produce. The two
talk it over and the florist agrees to
stock and take charge of it for so much
month. His men look after the health
of the plants. The. only responsibility
undertaken by the client is the heating
of the conservatory. If he allows the
plants to be killed by cold he has to poy
for them. They are mainly palms and
ferns, of which there are endless varie-
ties. These are not transplanted, but
stand in tubs and pots that may be hid
den in as costly jars as the rich man can
afford. In their season plants in bloom
are furnished and these are removed and
replaced as circumstances warrant

THE RUSTLERS' WAR.
outgrswth of Trouble Between Cattle
Men and AEricnlturfsts-

Men and Agricnlturfsts-
In Wyoming irrigation struggled for
some years with an obstacle more for
midable than aridity. This was the or
ganized stock interest which flour
ished on the public lands, wastefuIIy
using the public streams TO produce
crops of natural hay and TO water great
herds of cattle. While many of the
leaders of this industry were of liberal
and progressive mind, and freely con-
coded that they had neither a moral
nor legal right to stand in the way OF
progress, an aggressive and trouble
some minority insisted that cattle were
worth more than men to Wyoming.
The final conaict came in the rus
tiers war" of 1892, with its ignomini-
Gus and crushing defeat of the cattle
men and their hired outlaws from Tex
as. With that fiasco the barriers of
opposition fell once and for all, and
the irrigation sentiment has since dom
mated the state. Reclamation and set
tement in Wyoming and similar locah-
ties elsewhere have never really
Aenaced the stock industry, and have
rather vindicated the necessity of its
reorganization upon a more democrat
&c basis. There will be more cattle

Number Of Gallons A, the Ocean.

The mathematicis.ns figure on every
thing nowadays, from the number OF
leaves in a given extent of forest to the
probable number of molecules of mat
ter that it takes to make up the uni
verse. One of the most curious calcu-
lations which we have met with re-
Gently is one in which a German PROBES
sor gives figures to show the number
oil gallons of water in the Pacific ocean.
He first considers the average depth
and then the average length and
breadth, and then throws the whole
into n square and the square into a
globe. He finds that this aqueous
globe would lie exactly 726 miles in di-
ameter. Next he considers ocean water
as weighing 10 pounds TO the gallon,
and finds that this immense sphere,
were it a hollow metal globe, would
hold 100000, 0o0, 100000 of gallons.
Those figures represent the number OF
gallons OF water now in the largest
division of the earth's seas. It would
take that amount of water more than
100000 years to pour over the preci.
pice at Niagara.-St. Louis Republic.
