Fish From the Earth.

From the New York Journal.
Within a days ride OF New York city
lies the strangest hsherman's paradise in
the world. Choice specimens Of mountain
trout and other fish of equal delicacy APP
pear in plenteous numbers, coming APP
parently from the bowels of the earth.
There is nothing about these Ash to
mark them from others Of their own sort,
unless it be that their flavor is superior.
They make their debut in the waters of
the famous rock spring, near Belefonte.
Both the spring and its inhabitants are
solve.
Most springs bubble from the ground
and are always supposed to have a sandy
bed. This one, however, is a contradic-
ton to the accepted rule. 1t gushes from
cave ten feet high and twenty feet
wide. and the water is of marvellous
clearness. No rain ever fell so hercely
as TO even disturb its crystalline APP
pearance.
Years OF investigation have failed to
disclose the facts regarding the source of
the fish supply. No one has ever seen a
single FISH swim into the cave. Hundreds
have been observed swimming out. There
Is nothing about them that indica ties
their being bred In a subterranean
stream.
So far as the inhabitants OF that Sec
ton and visitors have been able to learn,
the spring Is by no means the reappear-
ance of a stream that flows out OF doors
somewhere else. Its source seems 10 be
from some point far beneath the earth's
surface. All this forms a natural prob
lem, and one that Is likely TO remain a
mystery for as many years as II has al
ready, and no one knows how long
that is.
There Is another spring at Bellefonte
called the Beautiful Fount. It's magni-
tude can best be understood by consider
Ing the fact that II pours forth $50, 900
gallons of the purest sort OF water. Just
beyond the town limits Is spring that
Is almost unknown. although fully as
much water comes from IL.
Three hundred and sixty-fve days
every year there steadily flows from II a
stream Of water two feet deep and ten
feet wide. When the mercury climbs the
highest there is only a difference OF two
degrees I'm the temperature of this
steadily flowing food.

In a sense, Senator Hill is right. YET

result would be deplorable on many
accounts; at the same time, the party
and the country are rapidly reaching
what William II. Seward would call
another irrepressible conflict.

AN EXPERIMENT.

Whether or not X rays have any
power to kill the bacilli of consumption,
as claimed by Drs. Wright and Wight
man, of Chicago. is question
which is just now being put to a
practical test in that city. A patient
has been selected and the first test was
made last week. 1t will take three
weeks before the condition of the pa
tient will show the effect Of the Roent-
gen rays. IL is said. The patient will be
submitted to the operation of this new
force three times a week for six weeks.
The progress of the operations will be
reported from week to week, and the
final result will be reported fully and
fairly.
The two Chicago physicians have
tried the rays on cultures of the disease
germs kept in gellatine and claim that
the rays annihilated these cultures.
They believe the rays will similarly kin
the germs in the lungs OF living man.
They are now trying to prove il. II

Six hundred delegates are attending

thoroughly acquainted with the amen
corner.
There are several questions coming
before the conference that are certain
to provoke sharp debate and more or
less lively demonstrations. One of the
most important of them is the aboli-
ton of the time limit Of pastorates. We
hope those favoring the abolition will
prevail. Influential and conservative

South Carolina has incorporated an
anti-lynching provision, something like
the governors recommendation, in its
new constitution, and the telegraphic
news only the other day recounted an
instance where the fine to be paid by
the county was urged with success
against a disposition to lynch a prison
er. Ohio also has passed an anti-lynch-
ing law. When a sheriff or peace Off
Ger knows that his official head will
roll into the basket for failure to prop
erly protect a prisoner from violence,
and when citizens of a county contemp-
late increased taxes to pay a heavy
fine, there will be less lynching, and in
its stead will come a stronger demand
for the prompt and vigorous enforce
ment Of the criminal laws. Fortunate
ly, lynchings are not so common in this
part of the country as to require any
legislation upon the subject.

The ID, mocracy Protests.

From the Billings Times.
Much wonder has been expressed at the
apparent dilatoriness which has been ex-
hibited by the chairman of the state
democratic central committee in calling
a state convention to select delegates TO
Chicago. BY some IL has been taken as
sign that the rock-ribbed Montana
democracy had weakened, and that they
were unable to make a race this year,
and were going to allow the republicans
a walk-over.
The Anaconda Standard has by it's corr
respondents interviewed leading DEMO
Gratis throughout the state. and the opfn-
ion appears to prevail. with a few excep-
tions. that the Montana democracy
should get together at as early date as
possible. and show their colors Some
few would wait Ito take advantage of
the blunders which the ST. Louis conven-
ton will be sure to make" But this is
nonsense. There is no certainty that
they will make any serious blunders. and
even should they there is no certainty
that the Chicago convention will take
advantage OF them. The opinion OF the
Montana democracy is practically unan-
imous on the silver question and there is
nothing TO be gained by hiding that opln-
ion. Let the Montana democracy come

THE FACTS IN THE CASE.

Some eastern papers are chuckling
over what they call the neat way in
which Mr.. Rosewater, the editor of the
Omaha Bee, has called Mr.. Harvey
down. In speech at Omaha the other
evening Harvey said that silver was
secretly demonetized on Feb. IL, 1873,
and offered 500 reward to any man or
woman who could find a word about
it in any newspaper published in the
month of February in that year.
Mr.. Rosewater claimed the 800 on the
strength of certain references to the
bill he found in the files of the Bee but
come to find out these references SIM
ply go TO prove Mr.. Harveys case. In
the Bee of Saturday. Jan. is, 1873, the
action of the senate on the demonetiza-
ton bill is reported as follows: MIR.
Sherman called up the bill to revise
and amend the law relating to minis,
assay offices and coinage of the United
States, which was amended and pass
ed" In its issue OF Feb. Z. 1873, further
reference to this bill, which had mean
time gone to a conference committee,
is made in the report of congressional
proceedings. as fellows: "Senate-The
report of the committee on conference
on the mint and assay Office bill was
also concurred in"
That's all there is of 1t. That the
decentralization of silver was accom-
plished secretly, without a word of dis
cussion upon the subject in the public
press, is a fact in history.
