Rapid City Wins Out.

Inspector Green, who was re.
Gently sent to South Dakota to
make an investigation Of the question
Of the removal Of the land Office, from
Rapid City to D9edwood, has reported
to Land Commissioner Hermann, says
Il Washington special. He is opposed
to any change in the location of the
Office and it is probable that the COM
missioner will approve the report and
allow the Office to remain at its present
location. Mr.. Green says that while
Dcadwood is nearer the unsurveyed and
unsettled portions Of the district, al.
though geographically more centrally
located than Rapid City, the latter city
is in a better location than the former
for homesteaders Upon the require
ments Of the law this class Of entrymen
are required to make application in
person, while mineral entrynen can
send their applications by mail lie
submits to show that the removal would
work to the disadvantage Of the home
steader and minated that the change
wonld he almost entirely in the interest
of one mining corporation, the Home
stake Mining company.

The Sntpe as a Surgeon.

1t has just been discovered that the
snipe is able to repair injuries to his
own person. Whenever the snipe is
wounded about the body or his leg
broken he does not necessarily crawl
away to some quiet nook to die. Most
other birds give themselves up as dead
when such q misfortune befalIs them,
but the snipe does not seem 10 mind a
little thing like that. He simply flies
away to some quiet spot T. tears
feather after feather from his side or
wing, or from any other part CT his
body than the wounded place. As
soon as the snipe has obtained three
or four loose feathers he quickly strips
off the downy part and allows the hard
quill to fall 20 the ground. The down
be places over the injured part. and
before an unlocking bird would have
time to say Jack Robinson" the snipe
has stopped the flow of blood. The
crisis being over. the snipe finishes his
surgical operation more ieisureiy. This
ne does by finding some cast-Of feaCh-
ers lying about the grass, and after
tearing Il the quilts ne lays fold after
fold OF the new down over the wound.
The blood acts as a sort of gum to the
down. so that when the Snipe has in
ished his work he is completely out OF
danger. When in a few weeks nature
provides some new Cuticle for the
snipe's wound, the artiicialiy applied
feathers are dropped. little by little.
until finally the snipe's breast looks
every whit as we'll as it was before
he was hurt. The person who discoy-
cred that snipes are their own surgeons
is the famous Ornithologist, Fatio,
who announced his interesting diseov-
cry to the International Physical So
ciety at their recent convention in &C.
neva. NJ. Fatio says snipe do not
merely stop bleeding wounds on their
bodies. He has had evidence showing
that they are also capable OF construct
ing a splint to nurse broken wings and
broken legs.

LENGTH OF MEXICAN WAR.
Continued for Two Years Before Peace
Was Declared,

Was Declared.
The Mexican war is the best exam
pie and instruction in the time it takes
to fight small wars. That took two
years, and the present war is moving at
express speed by its side, as might be
expected after fifty-two years. Hos
~tilities began March Is, 1916. General
Mejia at Matamoras called out the
Mexican troops. a month later, April
26, 1876, General Taylor called for 5000
militia. A fortnight later, May IL,
congress officially recognized the war
and called for volunteers. Mexico de-
clared war May %, 1916. Mexico had
no fleet and no army On the frontier,
except some desultory levies. Mon
terey was not taken until four months
later, Sept. IS, and Buena Vista was
not fought until eight months after the
war began, Feb. %, 1S47. After near
ly one year Of hostilities, in which our
forces had been drilled and disciplined
in camp and by months of campaign
ing, Gen. Scott sailed for Mexico and
captured Vera Cruz, ten months after
hcstilities began-March %, 1847. 1t
took foul and one-half months, to Sept.
IA. 1S47, before the City of Mexico was
taken, sixteen months after hostilities
opened. Peace only came in two years,
in June, 1S48. Yet the Mexican war is
quoted as a great case CT quick work in
MISUNDERSTANDING Press.
