RARE AND VALUABLE.
Some Sea-Otter skins Are Valued at
One Thousand Dollars.

OhC
There'll come time some day when
the sea-otter will be far more valuable
than the seal, if, indeed, he is not to-
day.
A sea-otter, by the way, is not an
otter-he occupies peculiar position,
being the sole species of a distinct
genus, and he is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct, being found at the present time
only on the islands and coasts of the
North Pacific ocean. \ pelt from this
animal will bring $500 at the least, and
if it is of exceptional beauty is it worth
$1,000. y popularity of the sea-otter is
the Iooseness of his skin, which is far
too big for his body and which, when
removed from the carcass, will stretch
to an incredible degree. According to

sometimes measure eight feet. This

drilling a six-foot hole in one minute.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that coal undercut by machinery
does not require as powerful cartridges
for the blasting as coal undercut by
hand and the rapidity with which the
holes are drilled by electric power
effects great saving and largely in
creased output. The weight of the drill
represented, with post for a six-foot
vein, is only 1852 pounds. This can
easily be handled by one man. The
drill works so quickly that it takes the
greater part of one mans time to at
tend to the feed mechanism and augers
together with starting and stopping the
drill, while the other man is arranging
and picking the places for the holes.
By the time he has another place ready
the drill has finished the preceding hole
and is ready to be moved. Two men can
very quickly reset the drill and then get
it started again. This machine has
drilled enough holes in ten hours to
"shoot" or blast down 500 tons of coal
in seven-foot vein. 1t consumes about
three horse power and the one shown
III the cut is Jeffrey machine.

JVpGE TAYLOR OF OUTLETS.

Judge r. S. Taylor, Of Indiana,
whose judgment and experience in all
matters relating 10 the science ofriVer
control and Improvement 10 universal
ly accepted as the most reliable OBJ
tainsbls, has tho following to say
concerning the outlet idea, which has
recently received an undue degree OF
notice from over credulous or accom-
modatiDg papers and people:
1.-THE fundamental objection to it
(the outlst theory 10 that II 10 essen

and convey the food to the sea by
several paths instead of one. The
bed of the Mississippi from Cairo
down lies III . deposit built up by the

and will continue to make Its own

what that channel shall be. Its great

tanned by concentration Of Its volume,
A given volume of water flowing by
two channels, all other things being
equal, has loss snergy to be expended
in erosion and scoHr than the same
volume of water flowing In one chan
mel. And the wafer Of the Missis-
sippi, II It were divided into wo
stteams from Cairo down, would have
less power to maintain the discharge
capacity of its two channels against
deterioration by sedimsntsry deposit,
thal 1t has 10 maintain one channel.
So that the ultimate result Of outlets
would be to increase the flood height
and cOnse suent overflow, instead of
diminishing 1t. The truth Of this pro-
position has been demonstrated by
many careful observations Of the Mis-
sissippi within the last sixteen years.
Iu every instance . crevasse which is
left Enclosed and becomes free

Such an expression, from man
like Judge Taylor, ia a sufficient re-
ply TO theoretical advocacy Of the
Cowdsp sebene. The evident result
e the present universal river sgits-
-ios will be tie control Of be river
by the government. and the primary
object of the government will be TO
make oft ApermAneBt deep water

the accomplishment OF this eud the

will meet with scABt consideration
when opposed TO the suggestions Of
