Very Hard to Kill.

To shoot a human being In the head
causes instant death; but this is not
the case with animals. A headless fowl
will run about for some twenty min
utes. and bear with a bullet In his
brain has still life enough to kill its
murderer IL it can reach him within
a few minutes. The only vulnerable
point in many reptiles is the spine,
and a snake with half an ounce of lead
in its Uranium will live for many years.
The star-fish, jelly-fsh and other crea-
lures OF the protoplasmic genus, II
chopped into many small pieces. do not
die, but each separate particle becomes
living star-fish, etc.
But the most peculiar instance Is
that Of the common English death
moth" as it is called. II you cut its
head, legs and wings or it still lays
its eggs before dying. II you throw 1t
into scalding water, crush 1t under a
hammer until it is a mere pulp, it does
not breathe it's last before it has pro-
duced some twenty eggs. which are In

QUEER VOTE COUNTING.

The Reno Gazette has the follow
ing:
As the complete returns drifts slow
" in. the figures on Governor become
closer and closer. The official car
vass has been made in ten of the four
teen counties, and, with the unofficial
returns Of others. Sad]er's plurality
is whitfield 90 Nn to 20 with the sol
der vote vet TO be counted. 1t will
undoubtedly take a recount of the
whole State to decide who is elected
Governor. A recount of Washoe
should be had by all means, as there
were clements at WORK here to count
as many votes here as possible for
Mccullough in order to win bets.
1t is dise raceful but true that the
g~ubernatorial fight in this country
was on sporty lines, and patriotism
had nothing to do with it, but we
don't give up the contest vet, and
believe that if ceconnt is had and
the Supreme Court allows the soldier
vote to be counted, that Mcmillan
will be declared Governor.
If the above is true it is high time
there was a recount in Washoe.
A citizen of Reno told the writer a
lew days ago that at 2 O'Clock in the
morning he visited the FOLLOWING
places and found the counting going
with not a silver man in sight te
watch the count.
1t sounds mighty queer that the
Silver Party Central Committe OF
Washoe left the count in the hand:
of the Republicans with 10 one t.
watch it.
Now does the Gazette think that
in case of a false count that the stolei
votes with Republican counters
would be wasted on Mccullough?

Among the Republican leaders there
is a general disposition to favor IN
