TILE FREE HOMES 4GT

The Free Homes act now before con-
gress has an attractive title and its
substance is attractive to many 1t has
supporters all over the West, and is
advocated in the Senate and House by
nearly all the members from the west
ern States. The bin proposes that the
government shall turn over to settlers,
free from all obligations of payment,
all the lands which have been or may
hereafter be coded by the Indians to
the nation from reservations 1t is
conclusively retroactive, and is sup
ported with the greatest zeal, as one
might suppose it would be, by those
landholders OF Oklahoma and some
other recently coded tracts who are
now under obligations not only to con-
form to the Homestead act but to re-
munerate the government, and, through
it, the Indians who sold out to the gov
eminent, which has all along been ar
ranging to deliver over the purchase
price as the settlers paid for their
quarter sections and lots. The actual
sum which the national treasury has
bound itself to pay for reservation
tracts thus acquired since 1889 is $685.
261 ,937 With all the areas which may
be taken up, but which, though coded,
are still in the hands of the Commits
sioner Of the Land Office, the obliga-
tons of the government will swell to
over s90,0oOOoo And for all this land
the deeds have been signed and deliv-
cred and some of the money price has
been paid. Let the law be changed and
the delivery, so far as the land office
and the national treasury are concern
ed, will have marked the loss of the
sum given to the government, and the
country will need to make UP the van
ished millions from outside sources.
Thirty millions isn't much for this
generous government to give away. 1t
can be added to the deficit, and we were
told when there was a surplus that
debts and deficits were blessings.

got into the cave is the problem, and
what sustained them there? The point
is about one hundred feet sbelow the
surface and there is apparently no
opening or means of ingress or exit.
The bats when caught and taken out to
the daylight appeared to be without
eyes and able to fly but a little way; in
fact, their wings were but meagrely de-
veloped. The first thing that attracted
the mems attention upon their return
to the tunnel was the peculiar odor,
which. notwithstanding the amount Of
gas from the exploded powder, was
quite perceptible and disagreeable.
The only solution of the strange oc-
currence that has yet been offered lies
in the fact that the rock is Of metamor-
phic and aqueous origin, and, being in
the Cascade Range, is of recent occur
renee. The rock is closely bedded
shale, and at the time of the geological
disturbance that put 1t into its present
position the bats had their nest there
and then became incased as they were
found. 1t would seem. too, that the
bats must be of that nature that be-
comes dormant and able to retain life
without food. An effort was made to
save some of them alive, but they rap
idly succumbed to the sunlight and
fresh air,--San Francisco Call.

filled the required conditions they We're
accepted by the committee and duly
passed into the service, On the con
cluslon of this official trial, however,
it was decided to carry the experiment
a stage further; and, accordingly an
additional round was fired at the plate,
this, time with a hardened steel Perm
made projectile from an eight-inoh gun
of As calibres in length, On this occa-
sion the plate was completely pierced,
the velocity on impact being 1850 feet
seconds and that after perforation be-
ing seven hundred feet-seconds, as
measured by Boulanger's apparatus,
The significance of these figures con-
sists in the fact that, so far as is
known, neither England nor any other
European power has a gunpowder ca
pable Of giving such initial velocity
under similar circumstances 1t has
been the subject of experiments for
several years and has now been adopt
ed definitely by the Russian military
authorities, who believe that with it
they can pierce armor which would be
invulnerable to the guns of any other
fleet. ......

THE NEW sTArE eoyEENMENr

THE NEW STATE GOTEHNMGNT
The new government of Connecticut
started off yesterday bravely and with
an air of business, The governor read
a practical and not too wordy message
to the General Assembly. The lieuten-
ant governor made very appropriate
and graceful address to the Senate in
which he heartily backed up some of
also made some valuable suggestions.
The Speaker of the house said much in
bers of the house, and nothing that he
said will be more approved by the peo-
pie than this: L think you will agree
with me that the General Assembly Of
the State of Connecticut has of late
years somewhat unduly dragged its
slow length along" The burning rays
of a midsummer sun have bi-ennially
fallen upon languid legislators, who,
beginning their duties in January with
eager zest, have found them in July
WEAKNESS to the flesh. 1t seems to me
that we can avoid the falling upon ug
of the spirit of heaviness without in
the least degree failing to discharge
our obligations to the State. The nee
essary business of our constituents can
be transacted as we'll in four months
as in six. All that is requisite is to
promptly fix a day, not more than a
month hereafter, as the last day for the
reception of new business, and having
so fixed it, rigidly adhere to it.
Next week the legislature will begin
active operations, and it is to be hoped
that its activity will be according to
knowledge, discretion and economy.
There is large opportunity for this
legislature to make itself distinguished
for things that are worth being dis
tinguished for. 1t is to be hoped that
it will take full advantage of it's OPP
portunity and do its work we'll and
promptly.

If the highest civilization is that
which has the most efficient weapons
of war Russia is now apparently at the
head. 1t seems that a Russian chemist
has invented gunpowder called pyro-
collodion which will do things that the
gunpowder of no other nation will do.
The other day test Of its power was
made. The Russian government order
ed from Messrs. Krupp of Essen some
ten-inch Harveyed steel plates for the
protection of the turrets of two IRON
clad vessels, the Petropavlovsk and the
ton. One of these plates was selected
for trial, and the experiments were car
ried out at the polygon at Okhta. TO
test the plate two rounds of steel ar
mor-piercing projectiles, made at the
government arsenal at Perm, were fired
from an eight-inch- gun of So calibres
length, with a striking velocity not ex-
ceeding 1900 feet-seconds. Slight de-
pressions of about five inches in depth
were formed in the exterior surface of
the plate, the bodies of the projectiles
breaking up on impact and leaving the
heads welded into these depressions;
but no cracks were developed in the
plates. These results were deemed
very satisfactory, and as the plates full

The late Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land used to tell his friends this anec-
dote at his own expense: Driving in
his coupe towards his court one morn
ing an accident happened to it at Gros-
venor square. Fearing he would be be
lated, he called a cab from the street
rank, and babe the jehu drive him as
rapidly as possible to the Courts of
Justice. And where are they%'
what, London cabby, and don't
know where the Law Courts are at old

and the collar were of embroidery, and
three bows Of white satin ribbon were
put at the waist line, fourth one
coming at the throat.
Small coin purses of gold wire with
scent bottle top are attached to a long
gold chain and are very much worn
by the swell girls. No woman even a
little stout should wear these chains,
but they emphasize charmingly the
curves of a slender figure. Fancy
leather purses are all gone by. You are
supposed to carry coins, and it Is reg
ular fad just now to handle nothing
but gold.
Time was when one umbrella-to keep
off the rain--sufficed but now a change
must be had For wear with tailor
made rig the umbrella should be of
black, folded closely and be mounted
with wood handle Of unconspicuous
design. 1t is swagger to match the UNI
brella to the lining of the cape coat or
skirt. For a more dressy rig an UNI
brella. with a handsome handle of sill
yer, ivory, enamel or delft, is used, and
must in color harmonic with the gown.
AS soon as warm weather comes these
will be put away and the sunshade will
appear. In view of this, a white silk
umbrella with heavy ivory handle Is
not a bad investment, and may be used
now with an ell black or a black and
white gown. Rain? 1t isn't supposed
to rain on these pretty umbrellas.
When it rains, take cab.

LIVE BATS FOUND DEEP IN THE
EARTH

EARTH.
A nest of live bats were found one
hundred feet underground in Snow
shoe Gulch, near Cottage Grove, In Or
egon, the other day. This is considered
a most remarkable discovery, and
those who have visited the place and
seen the animals are at a loss to ac-
count for it.
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson
have been developing claim in the
gulch by running tunnel to reach the
vein. The tunnel runs obliquely, and q
few days ago, when a depth of one
hundred and fifty feet had been
reached the rock began to assume a
different condition. 1t sounded loose,
or hollow, in that particular spot. and
the partners knew that they were near
ing what in miners parlance is called
"a change" G
Their holes were nearly loaded
when this discovery was made, but
they continued loading and then went
10 the surface ana tOuCHeu oiL tic
charge Upon their return they ex-
pected to find vein uncovered, or at
least a rock of different character from
that through which they were running.
But quite different matter attract
ed their attention when they went back
to the end of the tunnel, and the cir
cumstance has been the wonder of the
entire country ever since. IT has crea-
ted an immense amount of discussion,
scientific and otherwise, but no certain
explanation has yet been adduced.
Instead of finding ore or any particu-
lar change in the rock they found the
tunnel full of bats. The cause of the
peculiar sound that indicated change
of ground was a small cave, and into
this their last shots broke and out OF
which came the bats. How the bats
