AntIdnir Axain.t sting.

According TO DR.. Friedlander OF
Wiesbaden. electricity il an antidote
against siiDgs Of insects. His plan IN
such cases is to apply constant cur
rent and to place a negative cathode on
the spot stung by the insect. Galvani-
cation produces q rather strong sensa-
ton Of burning. but at the same time
the pain from the sting disappears, and
il the electricity is applied very soon
after the wound has been inflicted there
is little or no swelling The current,
however, does excellent service even IL
il be not applied until after some time
has elapsed. for it removes the pain and
also quickly reduces the swelling. The
suppusition is that the poison which
the insect has injected through the skin
70 neu,raliZed and rendered innocuous
y the current.
DR.. Friedlander bias repeatedly made
experiments Of this kind OH persons
who have been stung by bees and wasps
and has invariably found them success
ful. He naturally believes that sim
liar result would be obtained in the
cases Of persons stung by other insects.

MONKEY AND BOY.

Among the boys Of the town was
half witted lad who was particularly

tended him rs faithfully as Mary little
lamb One Of his mental weaknesses
was known 10 be a confusion OF the
ideas Of mine and thine, and after one
very considerable theft the local Sher-
lock Holmes found footprints OF Jocko,
the monk. in regions from which the
missing articles bad disappeared. and so
the boy was arrested There was no law
for imprisoning the monkey. 50 he was
not "pinched The boy was model
prisoner for several days. but was sud
denly seized with a desire TO have his
monkey with him. So earnestly did he
beg for this that the good natured Jailer
had Jocko brought to the cell. That
night the lad. who was supposed to be
without intelligence. began clawing out
the mortar around one Of the largest
stones in the outer wall He conld not
do much with his blunt fingers and
weak nails, hut the monkey immediate
ly began initiating him. The long claws
of the animal soon loOsened up enough
mortar TO enable the boy to pull the
stone out Of the wall. and before morn

CATTLE BILLS OF SALE.

Required for Animals to Be Slaughtered
Solicitor General E. l.. Bartlett
has written as follows to Secretary
J. A. La Rue, of the cattle santa
ry board, says the Las Vegas Optic:
"Your favor of the 9th, inclos-
ing a letter from Inspector Hen
bricks. with reference to the neces-
sity of beef contractors furnishing
bills of sale to Indian agents for
cattle furnished them under con
tract for the use of the Indians,
and asking if there is any terrific
rial law requiring such bills of sale
is received, and it has my atten-
ton aud in reply would say: That
sections Is to 78 inclusive, Com
piled Laws, amply cover the
ground, this being an old law
found as sections 64 to 20, Com
piled Laws of 1884, rs amended
by chapter 6, section Is, Session
Laws Of 1895, and section Z, chap
ter SO. Session Laws of 1898. The
first subdivision Of section Is re-
quires the bill of sale where such
stock or any part thereof is to be
shipped from the territory OF
''slaughtcred by the purchaser.
Section 7G provides penalty fol
any violation of section Is by &
fine and imprisonment. 1t will be
observed that this section rs limits
the cases where bill of sale is re
quired to three classes, while see
ton 119 being chapter G, section
Is of this Session Laws of 1895,
makes it applicable to all classe:
of animals and all sales. The
necessity for a bill of sale for ami
mails to be slaughtered is equally
great with that for animals to b'
shipped out of the territory, an(
should be required by the inspecto
in every instance, and ylolators 0
the section should be prompt,
prosecuted" "

THE CENSUS INVESTIGATION
OE IRRIGATION.


A special effort will be made by
the Division of Agriculture of the
Twelfth Census of the United
States to collect and 1stabulate i'm
portant data relating to irrigation
in the arid aud semi humid regions
of the United States. A prelimi
nary schedule has been prepared
and will soon be sent out to obtain
the names of Corporations and in
dividuaIs owning canals or bitches.
This is one of the essential steps
for securing desired information
regarding the extent and value of
the canals and bitches used for If
rigation, and their resources of
water supply.
In the preliminary schedule a
request is made for the names of
the principal canals or bitches in
their order down stream, the ditch
es to the right docking down
strcam) being arranged on the first
page of the list, and those heading
to the left on the last page. Re
quest is also made for the name
and post Office address of some per
son who can give detailed inform
alton concerning each ditch.
The principal schedule now in
course of preparation will be mail
ed to the addresses thus obtained
calling for further data, which will
be supplemented by detailed stats
tics gathered by the Census Emu
merators.
1t should be noted by all inter
ested in the subject that these
various inquiries of the Census OF
flee in no way coflict with, or du
plicate the work, with reference t.
irrigation which is being conduct
ed by any other department o
state. The most nearly related
; inquiry is that of the Geological
Survey, which, like that of tn
Census, is under the more i'm
mediate direction of Mr.. F. II
: Newell, the Special Agent for Ii
!, rigation in the Eleventh Census
and photographer of the Geologl
: cal Survey. The fact that Mr.
Newell has supervision of thi
work in the Twelfth Census guar
= antces its efficiency and its valu
| to the arid and semi humid regions
1t will be readily apparent tha
the volume and value of thes
statistics will depend very large!
= upon the attention and intere:
shown therin by those engaged j
irrigation and it is earnestly hope
that all to whom the schedules al
addressed will appreciate the in
portance of the request and max
prompt and carefulreply. In tn
way only will it he possible
. make the information concernir
irrigation full and complete.
In order to obtain a full under
c standing and an intelligent appr

of the West, a general knowledi

cYANlpING THE TRANsvAAL

One point in relation to the eff
fects which the war in South
Africa may have on the Transvaal
gold mines has been but little
noted. The great importance Of
the cyanide process, by which
from 80 to 40 per cent, of the
rransvaal gold is recovered, is
well known. The courts of the
South African Republic held the
MackArthur Forrest patents to be
be valid, and there has been
consequently no restriction on the
use of the process aud no royalties
to be paid. Should the war result
in making the TrnnsvaaI an En-
glish colony, it is quite possible
that the patents may be brought
forward again, and their validity
established, as the English court,
and those of several British colonie.
have already accepted them. Ii
that case the royalties woulc
certainly be exactcd. The point
isnot one Of immediate importance
but it is worth consideration. E

Curious Beliefs.

AS soit Of corclary to General
Merritt's testimony as to the condi-
tions existing in the American army in
and around Manila, the subjoined COM
ment of the New York Tribune on ar
other phase of public opinion of in
dividuals and affairs in the Philippines
is both interesting and wholesome. 1t
is good medicine for Mr.. Hoar and the
people who constitute the disciples of
the very absurd Senator and who ac-
cept his opinions and judgments:
1t is an interesting fact that there are
Americans OF high position who find 1t
easier to believe the widest vaporings OF
Aguinaldo than the statements of General
Otis. Perhaps nobody can explain that
state OF mind. Whatever the reason may
be, there are Americans whose mental fac
ulties are 80 distorted that they listen with
profound belief to everything Aguinaldo
has to say, and instinctively put down
everything that is said by the general com
manding the American forces as an I'M
truth.
Perhaps the United States will get along
best if it expects its own officers in COM
mand at distant points to report the facts.
There is nothing entirely abhorrent in the
suggestion. 1t is not known that General
Otis has ever been guilty of a falsehood.
He has the highest respect OF all regular
army officers who have known him. His
course since he has been at Manila has
exactll corresponded with his statements.
1t appears that he has commanded the
approval of the majority OF foreign residents
at that point. Even in some matters OF
difficulty he has been able to sweep away
all objections by clear statements OF facts
which none venture to dispute. Yet, in the
estimation Of some critics he is less worthy
OF belief than Aguinaldo
1t is really curious how the minds OF
some men predispose them to believe I'M
truths, and so strongly that no accumu'
lation of evidence, no appeal to common
sense, has any effect whatever. Yet some
men are built ON that plan. One may adj
init that they are to be pitied, but it cannot
be denied that they have the comfort OF
being befooled, as they obviously like to be
