Congress has passed bill prohibit
Ing American citizens from engaging in
pelagic sealing. The bill was strongly
supported on the ground that we
should be in better position to urge
the suspension Of deepssea sealing upon
other governments after we had for
hidden 1t to our own citizens. One Sec
ton of the bill wholly forbids the i'm
portation Of fur-sealskins taken In the
waters mentioned In the act, and di-
rects the proper officers Of the United
States to seize and destroy such skins.

TIMES AND MINING.
A CHANGE IN MINING LAW.

A CHANGE IN MINING LAW.
There has been change in the min
ing law regarding assessment work on
a group of claims. Those desiring to
patent group of claims can no longer
do all the development work on the
claim, but are required to make an ex-
penditure of not less than $500 for
work or labor or improvement on each
lode of a group Of claims
The regulations of the General Land
Office of the United States, which were
approved December Is, 1897, now re-
uuire that not less than $500 worth of
work or labor shall be expended on
improvements made upon each lode of
group of claims before entitled to
patent. Paragraph So of the General
Land Office regulations reads as fol-
lows:
''The claimant either at the time of
filing these papers with the registrar,
or at any time during the sixty days
publication, is required to file a certifi-
cate of the Surveyor-G General that not
less than $500 worth of labor has been
expended or improvements made upon
the claim and if more than one claim
is included in the application, that an
amount equal to $500 for each claim
has been expended by the applicant or
his grantors; that the plat filed by the
claimant is correct; that the field notes
Of the survey, as filed, furnish such an
accurate description of the claim as
will, if incorporated into a patent,
serve to fully identify the premises,
and that such reference is made therein
to natural objects or permanent monu-
ments as will perpetuate and fix the
locus thereof"

games and story telling. The father
tells his sons the tales of the mighty
heroes of past ages, relates Japanese
history, and teaches reverence and
obedience to the Mikado, the ''heaven-
appointed ruler" or the grandmother,
gathering the little ones in circle
around the brazier filled with hot Goals,
tells them the wonderful! fox stories,
the stories of demons and gnomes, and
the clever fables about animals. Their

it requires 360 pieces, instead of "a. 1t

WHY THE OCEAN BULGEs.
How the Action Of the Waters IL In
nuenced by the Moons
Attraction.

If familiarity does not always breed
contempt, yet at least it generally
breeds indifference. This is the case
with most of us in regard to the rise
and fall of the tide by the seashore, and
so the problem as to whether the tide
will serve conveniently to allow the
children to dig in the sand or search for
seaweed looms larger than that pre-
sented by the gigantic forces which
now produce only these somewhat in
significant pulsations of the sea. Yet
the tides should call forth in us deep
Ell Interest," might almost say an emo
tion-for they are the feeble residue of
influences which have probably exer-
cised a predominant control over the
history of the earth and the moon since
an indeterminate but remote epoch in
| the past, and will continue that control
into thedistantfuture According to the
law of universal grayitation, the moon
attracts matter which stands near to
her more strongly than that which is
more remote. 1t follows that the at
| traction on the ocean, at the side of the
earth which is nearest to the moon,
must be greater than that exercised on
| the solid earth itself. Hence there is a
tendency for the sea to depart from its
natural spherical shape, and to bulge
outward toward the moon. So far the
matter'is simple; but It is perplexing to
many that the neon should apparently
repel the water lying on the further
side of the earth, This action, how
ever, Is not due to any ideal repulsion
from the moon, but results from the
fact that on the further side the moon
must attract the solid earth more
strongly than it does the water. On
the nearer side the moon pulls the
water away from the earth, and on the
further side she pulls the earth away
from the water, thus producing an ap-
parent repulsion of the water to the
extent equal to the attraction on the
other side. In this way there arises a
tendency for the ocean to bulge equally
toward and away from the moon, and
to assume an egg-like shape.-Prof.
George H. Darwin, in Atlantic.

but has grown more elegant and. con-

While the skirt worn with it should not
match it, care is taken not to make the
contrast too great. The wash ma
torials, especially pique, silk, linen
lawn and dotted muslin, continue in
vogue, but these are apt either to be
made very simply, or else they are deco
rated with narrow frills of lace. For
the more elaborate bodice for summer
wear, which appears in every womans
wardrobe, the changeable taffetas and
the figured silks are given the prefer
snce; plain satin, Liberty silk and satin,
foulard and fine. soft woods are also

sUBDU1NG THE BICYCLE.
Mental and Physical Struggles ot
the Ambitious Man Who
Learned Late.

Accompanying the otber harbinger
of spring, the robin, the game of mar
bles in the alley, the tan shoe, comes the
learner on the bicycle. The cool, brac-
ing air of an evening and the long
stretches of smooth roadway tempt
him, and in his minds eye he pictures
spins into the country, healthful, in
vigorating exercise and an appetite like
that of plowman. But above all he is
impelled to learn by dread of being
considered a faddist. All OF his friends
ride. Already he imagines they look
upon him askance and speak OF him as
sort of Philip Noland-a man without
wheel For six successive seasons
he has held out against the tempta-
ton, and now he curses himself for his
pains. Why didn't he learn then, when
everybody was learning, instead of post
poning the ordeal until now, when all
are past masters in the art?
So he may be seen every fine evening
upon the level, asphalt paved side
streets struggling to subdue an un-
tanned steed OF the patents of '95, which
costs him 25 cents an hour, with two
dollar indemnity against breakage. All
this is gall and wormwood to the mod
est man. Not that he cares for the
knocks and bruises. He would gladly
double their number could he but es
cape the prying eyes, the derisive guf-
flaws and half-suppressed sniggers of
the men and women who have passed
I through it years, years before.
For these reasons he is creature of
apprehension and agony. After dis
covering the fallacy of the theory that
the art can be acquired in a back
kitchen with the curtains drawn, he re-
members particularly unfrequented
side streets lined with trees that help to
obscure the light of moon and lamps.
He takes off the handle bars of his ma
chine to give the impression that the
machine is out of order and that he is
on his way with it to the repair shop.
This furnishes him with an excuse for
not riding. Then he snllies forth. lead
ing his wheel. The unfrequented by
Stlect Is tiuc uOl III, SO tneecuuiSe lie
goes south, and then tacks back to the
windward side, like yacht, and beats
and maneuvers and hauls down his hal
yards and reeves the pinnacle and so on.
and finally he heaves to in front of
livery stable, which he goes through till
he reaches the alley. and then by sud-
den port movement he energies trem-
bling and demoralized upon the dark
ened thoroughfare. OF course, every
body stops to watch him tangle himself
in his wheel. They gather in little
groups along the driveway, and when
he falls and appears about to slide, BIZ
cycle and all, into the catch-basin of
a sewer, they can between spasms of
ill-timed mirth tender him assistance.
It is well to leave him at such time as
this to settle with the man from whom
he rented the bicycle and with his
Maker-Kansas City Star.

EIectr,c wave. over H,lls.

In describing to the Royal institution
I'M London the latest experiments in
sending electric messages, or signals,
without wires. Mr.. w. H. Preece called
attention to the curious fact that hills
do not obstruct the passage of the elee-
trio waves to which the transmission of
the signals is due, If, for instance, the
circuit from which the signals are sent
is on one side of hill, and the receiver
lis on the other side, the electric waves,
or some of them, form a bridge over the
i Hill and fall upon the receiving appa-
ratus on the opposite side. Signals have
been sent, without wires, distance Of
more than eight miles in Bristol chan
mel, and the limit, Mr.. Preece thinks,
