Sights from Teneriffe.

The great peak of Teneriffe, 12,1S2
feet high, situated in the Canary is
lands, and rising almost directly out of
the ocean, makes a magnificent view
point for certain scientific purposes.
Prof. T.. C. Porter recently gave the
Physical society in London an account
OF his observations and experiments
on the peak. By observing the shadow
of the peak cast upon the sea, and
measuring the time that elapsed be-
tween the moment when the apex of
the shadow touched the sea-horizon,
and the instant when it was eclipsed by
the shadow of night, he was able to de-
duce the diameter of the earth. The
heated air rising from the crater of
the volcano also casts a shadow which
can be seen on the sea, rising obliquely
from the summit of the mountain cone
One of Professor Porter's photographs
from the peak plainly showed the curv-
ature of the horizon. - s-

Animal Food.

A well-known authority writes:
Animal food, being identical in COM
position with the structure of the body,
is, therefore, exceedingly well adapted
to minister to the growth and nutrition
of the body; but little chemical altera-
ton is required for its assimilation,
consequently it is easier of digestion.
Animal food has the advantage Of con-
centration, which frequently renders it
preferable to vegetable food, by reason
of its smaller bulk.It also has more
delicate shade of flavor, for which
many Of the meats are so highly es
teemed 81. u.

would be impossible, from the forma-

ulnarlly by swallowing. Many varie-

A Cattle Feeding Experience

To The Farmers eview:-During
che past winter I have had an expe-
rience which may be of interest to-
your readers. Like many others, was
.e.caught short Of cattle for winter
feeding, and bought in September.
twenty steers, which came from Wis
consin by way Of Chicago. They were
not good bunch in any way, but.
only few of them seemed to show
Jersey blood, and it seemed impossible, !
to get good cattle. They did poorly
during the fall, and went into winter
in poor shape; but 1 hoped that goods
feed and care would put flesh on them. .
and not until March had come and X
had, fed a surprising amount of graina
and hay did I fully realize the utter
folly of trying to make beef cattle of
such. ill-bred steers. AS the season:
went on they seemed to develop more.
and more of the Jersey characteristics
and to show themselves entirely UNI
fitted for beef purposes. They wouldl
neither grow nor take on fat, and II
finally sold them for what they would
bring here instead of taking them to
Buffalo, as I intended. Meanwhile a
few well-hred steers of my own rais
ing grew into fine cattle in the same
yard. The backs of these Wisconsin
cattle were full of grubs, and they
were probably a cross between Jerseys
and scrubs. think farmers in the
West are coming to realize that they
have made a great mistake by intro
ducing the Jersey stock into their
herds to such an extent. In our oranges,
and elsewhere it is emphatically stately
that the farmers of the West will make
a great mistake if they do not keep q,
strong infusion of Shorthorn blood in.
all the farm herds which are not given
over to some special purposes. W.

Poll Tax Law Null and Void.

The Supreme Court handed down
an opinion in the case of Wilson VS..
Stone in which the constitutionality
of the Poll Tax law passed at the
last session of the legislature, was
tested.
The Court declares that said act
is against the express provisions OF
the State Constitution and is of no
effect. That said act is an attempt
to add qualifications to voters against
the doctrine expressed by said Con-
stitution.
That the title of the bill is not
descriptive OF the matter leglsiated
upon and for this reason is null and
void.
The decision sweeps away the
whole act of 1897 and leaves the
payment of poll taxes to the honor
of the citizens at large and the in
genuity of the Assessor to collect the
same.
Other points We're argued against
the validity of the bill but We're not
touched upon in the decision.
Judge Belknap did not participate
in the matter at all, the decision
being by Judge Bonnifield and con-
Cured in by Judge Massey.
The voters of Nevada owe a good
deal to the press of the State for
the killing of this obnoxious law,
especially the Tuscarora Times
Reriew and the Carson appeal.

who rendered their legal services

IT HAS been estimated that the
war with Spain will cost this gov
eminent in the neighborhood of one
million dollars day, and that it
may last year, possibly longer.
To raise the means to carry on this
war Congress has passed law pro-
viding for war tax. This tax is
placed upon most everything that

left off the commodities that belong
to the rich. 1t is estimated that
| this tax will raise about a million
dollars day, or the same amount
that it is calculated it will cost to
carry on the war. Besides raising
this amount of revenue S40O,OOO,
600 of bonds are to be issued; S42,-
100000 of silver coined and Sl5O,-
100000 of greenbacks issued. This
bond issue is termed 'the popular
loan" The denomination of the
bonds run down as low as $50, we
believe. and this, it is thought, will
allow the smaller fry to obtain
them. However, in the long run
the syndicates will own all the
bonds. A man who can only afford
to purchase a $40 bond, or a few of
them, is in no financial condition
to hold them. He might have a
thousand dollars worth of them to-
day and to- morrow be forced to sell
them. They draw but 3 per cent.
interest and are only collateral that
men of means can afford to keep,
But the main question is here. If
it costs but million day to carry
on the war. and the war tax will
raise it, what is the use of this
$4OO. 100000 bond issue? What is
it for, and who is to be benefited by
it? Are we being tiimfamed again
on bond deal wherein the gold
bugs and the head Of the govern
ment are playing in cahoots to
pocket forty or fifty million dollars?
Putting this bond deal together with
the way the war is being conducted
it looks to a man up tree as though
the whole thing was concocted
scheme of the monied men to double
their capital at the expense of the
poor fellows who, in going to war,
think they are fighting for the hon
or of their country. If a great many
people would stop to think about
these things, and not be led by
the noisy pretenders, they would
come to the conclusion that at the
rate the debt of the country is being
piled up for our children to pay it
is now about time to- revolt and turn
the guns they carry upon the man
ipulators who are sapping the life
blood of the country and bankrupt
ing her treasury. How long. Oh,
Lord, will it be before enough of
the people find these facts out to GO
to the polls and elect man to pre-
side over this country who has the
welfare of the people and the conn
try at heart?

Democrats, few Populists and a
sprinkling of Silver Party men,
aided by the Republican press OF
the State, and 1--WE are ashamed to
have to acknowledge it) one or two
Silver Party papers, have started
in to thresh over the old straw this
wear about Home Rule Party"
Nevada has, in her Silver Party,
the best home rule party that the
State ever had, and it is only the
disgruntled malcOntents and pro-
fessional pie hunters who are seek
ing to create disturbance. A GER
tain small element in the State is
advocating fusion with the straight
out Democratic Party on the ground
that that party nominated Bryan
and declared for free coinage, and
they therefore assert that the Silver
Party has accomplished it purpose.
This is not so. The Silver Party
will not have accomplished its pur-
pose until free coinage President
sits in the White House and the
country is on bimetalllc basis.
The Republicans who joined the
Silver Party made it possible for
some Democrats who joined the
Silver Party to obtain office, and
are willing to continue on this line,
but they will not consent to being
absorbed by the Democratic Party,
and if such a thing is attempted
il will result in there being Just
the two old parties in the State,
with the Democratic in the minori-
ty, as it used to he. 1t is easy to
understand why the Republicans
favor such a move. Why Silver
Party men countenance any such
action is hard to understand. A
few of them have failed to secure
office it is true, but it should he re-
mem bered that the offices are few
while the party is large. Republic
cans have a right to oppose the Sill
yer Party and create as much dis
sention in the ranks as possible,
but the Silver Party men and news
papers who assist them in the new
party plan can he classed as naught
but renagades and traitors They
are playing the dog in the manger
game of keeping everybody else
from getting something because, by
their bulldozing actions, they an
tagonize their own friends to such
an extent that they can get nothing
themselves. If the party does not
suit them they should get out of it
and into one that is more congenial
and all events quit trying to fool
the people with the home rule fake.
We are in favor of home rule, but
contend that the Silver Party is the
best home rule party that the State
has ever known. If majority OF
its members think it needs any fix
ing they can do it without ruptur-
ing the party very easily in con-
vention. The main issue with the
party is to keep in position where
we can do the most good towards
helping to remonetize silver, and
to weaken the party by internal
dissentions as to who shall hold the
offices is suicidal. Get in line
now, and drill. Don't go Judging
around the enemy's lines too CLOSE
or you are liable to get prod from
a bayonet that will bring you right
about-face on the double-quick, OF
something like that.
