All tho light stations of the United
States are grouped in IS inspection
districts, to each of which is assign
ed an army officer rs engineer and
an officer Of the navy as inspector.
Eight of these districts are allotted
to the Atlantic and gulf coasts; the
ninth, tenth and eleventh cover the
great lakes; the twelfth and thir-
teenth extend from southern Call
fornia to Alaska, while the remain
ing three embrace all navigable wa
tiers of the Mississippi valley, on
which are displayed some l, 400 stake
or post lights. There are about 100
light stations on the Pacific coast,
about 265 on, the great lakes and
about $50 in the eastern districts, or
between 2, GOO and 2,700 in all. 1t is
impossible to state the exact num-
Der, as now stations are constantly
being established. OF all these the
Oldest is Boston light, on Little
Brewster island, in Boston hsrbor,
which was established in 1915 and
last rebuilt in 1850. The next Oldest
is on Brant point, at the entrance tc

Ex-President Harrison, in writing
of the interior department and
the distribution of public land in
Ladies' Home Journal, says: "1n 1862
the policy of giving to actual set
tiers thereon quarter section (l6O
acres) of the public land where the
lands were rated at $1.25 per acre,
or so acres where the lands we're
rated at 81. so per acre, was adopted
by congress. The settler is required
to mako affidavit that the land Is en-
tered for his own use as home
stead, and the patent does not issue
to him until he has resided upon
and cultivated the land for I've
years. In the case of soldiers and
sailors the time served in the army
or navy, and In the case of those
discharged for wounds or disability,
the whole term of enlistment may
be deducted from the five years res
idenoe required. but at least one
years residence is required In suoE
cases. 1t was q wise and beneicen1
law, and if it had come 20 years be
fore would probably have settled TIT
question of the extension Of slavery

A Seed Pod That Explodes.

It is a funny little brown pod
about the shape of Cigar and only
an inch long. But if it is dropped In
q pail of water it will explode sud
denly with loud crack, and from
the inside of it a shower of small
seeds will shoot upward into the air.
This pod is the fruit of a semi
tropical plant of the genus justioia,
and nature has given it the power
Of bursting so that it may scatter
it's seeds far and wide. Sometimes
after it falls on the water it will lie
for some minutes quite still and
then burst with sharp explosion.
This explosion occurs because the
outer coat of the pod soaks easily,
und this causes the hard inner coa'
to bend and bend until it bursts
Nor is this all of the wonder abou
the pod. When the seeds strike tn
water, little mucilage flows on
and enables them to stick to tn
first object they reach.-Chioag

tives are very provoking at times.
They are overbearing when they
have an opportunity to thwart you
or humbuP you. In crossing rivers
in their canoes they get pay before

stay in midstream and demand more
pay. The tact and patience exercised
by a white traveller are the only

THE SQUIRRELS ROAD.

It ziezags through the pastures brown Il
And climbs old Pine Hill to Its crown,
With many broken stake and rail
And gaps where beds Of ivy trail.
In hollows Of its messy top
The pine cone and the acorn drop,
While here and there aloft is seen
A timid, waving plume of green,
Where some shy seed has taken hold,
With slender roots In moss and mold.
The squirrel Oh his frequent trips,
With corn and mast between his lips.
Glides In and out from rail to rail,
With ears erect and bushy rail.
Sometimes he stops his spoil laid by,
To frisk and chatter merrily
Or wash hts little elfin face.
With many nod and queer grimace.
Anon he scolds passing crow
That stirs the pine boughs skimning low
Or scurrics like frightened thief
At shadow Of q falling leaf.
All day along his fence top road
He bears his harvest. load by load
The acorn with It's little hat;
The buttcrnut. egg shaped and TAT;
The farmers corn from shock and vain,
Cheek pouches full of lessor grain;

When rosy sunrise stains tho sky
And see him flashing to his toll
While carly frost cncrusts tho soli.

And have sure highway from his tree

London, Feb. l6 The Times, in
it's issue of tomorrow will deprecate
the intention of the opposition to
raise debate in the house of COM
mons on the relations between Great
Britain and the United States. In
the course of it's article it will plead
for moderate delay and that no at
tempt be made to hurry settlement,
and instances the advantage that will
accrue from following its advice.
President Cleveland, it will add, first
called upon congress to appoint a
commission to determine the true
divisional line between British Gui-
ana and Venezuela. Ambassador
Bayard now says the commissions
only function is to collect facts for
the information of the President.
The former pretensions were unani-
mously rejected in this country. 1t
was in response to the latter view Of
the duties of the commission that
Lord Salisbury promised to furnish
the English documents to the COM
mission The Times thinks it would
be an advantage if the British case
were examined by strong independ.

British government, the report of
which would be available for the in
struction of parliament and public
opinion as early as the report of the
