Great Traffic Arrange ment.

Wseacres in Wall street have conclud.
ed that there will he no consolidation of
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
but in their minds have completed all de-
tails OF great traffic agreement between
these properties. That close traffic
agreement will he effective they have no
doubt, though officials of these compan-
les have not been asked their opinion
about it. One Of the leading journals of
Wall street, in commenting on this pro-
posed agreement, says:
"Such an arrangement would simply
be a matter of common sense. and rs the
Great Northern has never shown itself
wanting in this particular respect, all
that is wanting is the co operation on the
part Of the Northern Pacific. The drift
OF events just now appears t. he strongly
in this direction. 1t is needless to say
that while the two roads concerned would
be benefited by this arrangement, there
would be direct gain to the community,
because, while rates would not be adj
vanced, they would he strictly maintained
at tariff, and shippers would know that
no one WAS getting any better rates than
they were. The waste OF money now il
all in directions where only favored
few are benefited at the expense of 9TH
ers, and under new arrangement on the
lines described above, these favored few
would lose the facIi ties to which they
have no right, and everyone else would
be correspondingly benefited, while the
roads would make little money"

A Fortune in the Waste.

Talking about the saving of the
copper held in solution in the water
taken from the copper mines, John D:
Henry, an old Montana miner, said
yesterday: "For a long time the
water from the copper mines at Butte
we're allowed to run off, the owners OF
the mines not seeming to understand
the Importance of treating the water
for the copper in solution. A few
years ago, when the water from the
Anaconda mine was leased to on ola
Lesdville miner, who took out Sl20,-
900 in three years at tritllng ez-
pense, it was borne in on the COM
pany that the loss from that source
had amounted to very handsome
sum, and since then every gallon OF
water that comes from the mine has
been saved and the copper extracted.
"Some years ago I visited the cop
| per districts of East Tennessee, in the
interests of some parties who were
talking OF engaging in the business.
and while there saw copper mlno in
which water was o very important fac
! tor in the saving of values. The mine
was very wet, and the ore was ex-
tremely susceptible to the action Of
water. The operators discovered this
fact very soon by having to replace
their iron pipes ct very short inter-
walls. They then put in wooden pipes
and treated the water with scrap iror
in settling tanks. As soon as thu
water had been exhausted of its metal
| lie value it was pumped to q point
some distance away from the shaft ane
permitted to peroolate slowly through
the crevices of the vein, and by tht
time it reached the pump it was agai1
so heavily charged with copper that
was treated over again. The owner
told mo that the copper received II
this way represented tho profits o
their operations. In the Butte mine
the water is so heavily charged Wit
copper that certain parts of the pump
have to be replaced every forty'elgh
hours" Denver (Col.) Republican.

An enterprising confectioner OF
Helena, Mont, has in his store win
dow mechanical device representing
o little bear, which, by the al OF
clockwork inside, is made to constant
~ move his head from side to side.
The bear is an excellent miniature Of
perfect bruin, and attracts o great
deal Of attention. The drollery OF tho
expression Of his face was caught with
admirable exactness by the designer,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
Men, women and children step to
lock aud are captivated by the little
animal, which hardly ever fails to pro-
woke laugh. Sometimes they remain
in front of the window, captivated by
the expression of his face, until they
uuconsciously fall to following the
movement Of his head from side to
side in an endcavor to note the vary
ing expressions Of his eyes.
At times a crowd will gather and
dozen persons at one time fall into
the side to side movement, until to an
outsider it looks really funny.
The discovery Of the effect Of the
little toy was not made by o man
standing in the window, and probably
never would have been, for those who
see it fall unconsciously into the habit
themselves. A man was standing

Fear in Animals.

A Scandinavian writer cited by the
zoologist has recently described o curl
Gus method OF capturing swans much
employed for centuries past in the
northwest Of Iceland. The swens, at'
ter moulting in autumn, leave the IN
terror in order to reach the coast. The
inhabitants OF the coast and their dogs
are prepared, and when the birds ap-
proach, begin to make as much noise
as they con by shouting, striking
boards with stones and making as
much of racket as possible. This
noise has a powerful effect upon the
young swans, which, terrified and dis
tracted, and not knowing which way
to turn their heads, allow themselves
to fall to the ground, where they are
seized without any difficulty. Fear is
likewise exploited in South America
for the capture of another species of
swan by the Gauchos, who, when they
perceive flock, run toward it in keep
ing themselves leeward to the wind
and in concealing themselves. When
they get close enough to the flock,
they spur up their horses and rush
upon the birds with loud shouts. The
swans, seized with fear, are unable to
take flight, and allow themselves to be
seized and slaughtered upon the spot.
The paralysis OF fear is met with also
in other animals, and in most
marked manner. Mr.. Cancani has
pointed out quite q large number OF
instances in which animals have given
manifest signs Of fear or inquietude
before earthquake shocks. We need
not look for peculiar form OF PRESENT.
ment in these animals, for they are in
all probability Influenced by the very
slight tremors that precede the heavy
shocks. However, as Mr.. Cancani re-
marks, such inquietude OF animals is
| observed only in cases in which the
center whence the shock emanates is
quite distant, and he supposes that the
slight vibrations travel more quickly
than the strong ones, but that it re-
quires distance great enough to al
low the differences to be appreclable'
in order that the vibrations may ar
rive sufficiently in advance OF the
shocks and affect the animals before
the shocks occur.

Hunting the Sea Otter.

are IN luck. III six weeks they have
taken four sea offers, and rs the skins
arc worth at least $1,000 the hunters
must be classed as among those TO-
yored by the gods. The hunters were
among the two most successful men
during the cruise OF the sealing
schooner Herman, and on their return
pooled their issues. They had enough
money to purchase whaleboat and
fit her out. From here they went to
Yaquina bay, and there hired third
man to row the boat. One day Jacobs
would steer and Neidever would do the
cunning, and the next day it would
be vice versa. Latterly it has been
unusually rough on the coast, and the
waves have run mountains high.
Nevertheless the men have COMO out
day after day, and on nearly every &C.
casion the sea otter was shot when the
boat was in the trough OF the soa and
the mammal on the crest OF the wave.
Jacobs and Neidever are now off
Yaquina bay, and they intend staying
in that vicinity for another two
months. Should they do as we'll in
| that time as they have during the last
SIX weeks there will be no necessity for
their making trip to Bering sea next
season. Many schooner hos spent
months in the arctic and never took On
