the DEPUTIES.
Lieutenant WIN Cave viii Assist Clerk
and Recorder Wilkinson.


Missoula, Nov. 1l-Now that the re-
suit OF the election Is determined the
chief interest centers In the appoint
ment OF deputies in the several county
offices. As far as Is known Clerk and
Recorder Wilkinson Is the only one of
the omcers-elect who has announced
his selection. He has named VIII
Cave as his chief deputy and has not
decided upon the second deputy. For
the position of deputy sheriffs W. w.
Mccormick and Joseph Grenier are
mentioned. but their appointment has
not been confirmed by Sheriff Cur
ran as yet. Frank Longstaff Is cred
tied by rumor as being the prospective
assistant of Assessor Prescott. Dan
Heyfron Is said to be selected for the
deputyship In the treasurer's Office.
None of these announcements are Of
fetal except that regarding Lieutenant
Cave. whose fitness for the position Is
acknowledged by all. IL Is certain that
the county has neve elected a set Of
officers for the court house who were
more competent and efficient than those
who are about to enter upon their du-
ties. The result of the election. as far
as these Offices are concerned. Is sat
isfactory to a large majority OF the
citizens of the county. The county's
business will be we'll cared for. Hall
Garrick and Harry Lambert are men,
toned as probable deputies in some OF
the offices.

Melodies of War.

During the middle ages. when every
man was a soldier. each great family
had Its war cry, generally the name Of

Kings shouted "Montjoye st. Denis
while the crusaders responded to "Dieu

Many of the notices on family crests
today are nothing but these old war

have been the earliest poetical develop

DiYorce by Candles.

When n Burmese husband and wife
decide to separate the woman goes out
and buys two little candles OF equal
length, which are made especially for
this use. She brings them home. She
and her husband sit down on the floor,
placing the candles between them, and
light them simultaneously. One candle
stands for her, the other for him. The
one whose candle goes out first rises
and goes out of the house forever, with
nothing but what he or she may have
on. The m whose candle has survived
the longer time. even by a second, takes
everything. So the divorce and divi.
sion of the property, II one can call that
n division, are settled.-Amrlta Bazaar

The New Paris Telescope.

We gather from an article in La Ma
ture that NJ. Gautier, the well-known
optician, is making good progress with
the construction Of the giant telescope
intended for the great exhibition at
Paris in 1900. The aperture will be
1.25 meters (49.2 inches. and the focal
length sixty meters 198 feet 10 lnches),
while the estimated cost Is 100000
francs. An equatorial mounting and
may well be considered impracticable,
and accordingly the telescope itself will
be rigidly fixed in a horizontal position
on supports of masonry. and viii re-
eeiye the light Of the heavenly bodies
after reflection from a movable plane
mirror two meters in diameter. The
plane mirror Is thirteen inches thick
and weighs 5000 kllogrammes, and 1t
Is curious that of twelve disks cast for
the purpose, the first one turned out to
be the best. This has been In process
of grinding for seven months. and is
not yet finished.
There will be two detectives, one pho
tographic and one visual. which will
be easily interchangeable at will. 1t
Is expected that a magnlfylng power of
6,000 will be usefully employed, and
that occasionally a power Of 10000 may
be used. AS the highest power ayaila-
bic In the largest existing telescope does
not exceed 1000, the new instrument,
IL 1t be the success that everyone will
wish, should have a wide field of use

When Used TO Excess.

Ordinary articles of consumption
have n bad effect upon the body II
used to excess. Not a few men have
had their eyesight permanently affect
ed by smoking too much, and the deaf
ness of a very noted man of letters Is
to be traced to the fact that he had
been for years a tea drunkard. That
snuff may produce paralysis is we'll
known, but 1t seems almost incredible
that a man may go mad through con
Stunning too many eggs. Nevertheless.
there is no doubt that to eat too many
of them produces a kind of ex-
citemeht which may lead even TO muir
der. Too much beef for a weak Drained
boy tends to make him an idiot, and the
number of men whose mental vigor has
been Slapped by constantly drinking
strong coffee is extraordinary.

military Use of Balloons.

During the Napoleonic vars. more
than a century ago, the balloon was
first tried for purposes OF reconnois
sance Since then, great improve
ments have been made In the construc-
ton Of balloons, their material and
equipment, and the methods of man
aging them. France has sought to sup
ply means of horizontal propulsion.
and Germany has so combined the Kite
with the gas-bag that the alrship Will
rise, instead OF falling. under a pun
Of wind when held captive by a rope.
But as the record stands, prior TO the
summer Of 1893 the only practical use
Of balloons for observing an enemy's
position and strength belongs Il the
closing decade decade of the eighteenth
century.
