AUSTRALIAN MALLEE HEN.
Lays Her Eggs in a Great Mound and
the Heat of the Sun Hatches
Them Out.

The strangest bird known, 80 far as
it's habits are concerned. is the malice
hen of Australia. It lays its eggs in a
huge mound, which is really a coopera-
tive incubator, being built by many
pairs of birds, and serving to hatch the
eggs of all the hens. Each year the
same flocks repair to the same mounds,
some of which measure so yards at the
base and are $50 feet in circumference
The eggs are deposited about six inches
below the surface. While each hen lays
her eggs in the family mound, no hen
drops her egg closer than 20 inches to
that of her neighbor. These eggs are
deposited in cavity made by them in
a vertical position, carefully covered,
and the surface smoothed over by the
hen before she quits the nest, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The eggs of the malice hen are out OF
all proportion to her size. They are as
large as those of goose, and those OF
large hens are very much larger.
The eggs thuslaidsand covered in this
zreat sand oven in the hot districts are
never again disturbed by the hens. The
eggs are Matched by the heat the sun
bakes into the soil where they lay. 1t
has never been known how the young
chicks are excavated from their egg
grave, for the eggs are deposited fully
six inches below the surface, and the
hardening rains do not aid their exit
very much.

A Great Copper Ledge.

The great copper ledge which old
Col. Lewis and his dog Jimmy have
held down for so long is going to be
opened. The colonel and his associates.
who own the three claims located on
this great ore body, have been induced
at last TO bond it to some Baker City
and Des Moines, Iowa, parties. The
controlling interest goes to the North
American Mining company of Des
Moines. Work will begin next Mon
day and day and night shift will
alternate until the monster ledge of
copper ore is crosscut at depth of 10
feet. The ledge varies in width on the
surface from 100 to 200 feet. and when
it is opened it will smash the copper
trust. Captain Evans, who first dis
covered the ledge. said today: ''We
doh't think there is mineral deposit
known equal to this. The ore assays

pERs1ANs LIKE CIGARETTES.
The Shah's Subjects Are Said to Be
Rapidly Acquiring the smok-
ing Habit.

It appears that the smoking of<Sg-
arettes has of late years spread almost
as rapidly in Persia as in this country,
says the London Mail. Cigarette to-
bacco was first introduced as an ag>
ricultural product into the province OF
Ghilan in 1876. The seed was imported
from Samsoun, in Turkey, and the in
PRODUCTION of the plant into the north
ern province of Persia has had the effect
Of introducing the practice of cigarette
smoking throughout the country. It
has become so general that even the
lowest peasant now goes about with
cigarette case and cigarette paper. Un-
til quite recent years only kalians, or
nubble-bubbles, and chibouks, or long
wooden pipes with red clay bowls, were
used-the former generally by the high
sr classes and the latter by the peas
antry, laborers, mule drivers and other
people constantly on the. move and,
therefore, requiring more portable
apparatus. The chibouk has now been
to very large extent replaced by Gig
arettes, the tobacco for this purpose be-
ing cheaper than the Shiraz tumbekeo,
which is required for kalian and chi
bouk.

They rossed the Captain.

At the regular weekly drill last
night the members of the militia COM
pany made Rome howl" in the ar
mory. They had prepared for q
"smoker" and they had it with ven.
gence. After the regular drill was
through and the officers had ceased to
exercise authority over their men,
sandwiches, pipes and tobacco were
supplied and a general good time was
entered into, but the boys Of the COM
pany had something more interesting
to spring on the officers. They had
good, stout blanket, and were experts
in it's use. Captain Bartell was seized
and put through drill that is not des-
ignated in Upton's manuel, but it is
one that is necessary to harden the
"raw recruit" for soldier life. He was
tossed and tossed until the boys man.
ipulating the blanket gave out, then it
came lieutenant Spivey's turn and the
men gave him several tosses skyward.
Others were favored with the drill,
but that part which most amused the
boys was when the captain and lieu
tenant were being sent up. At the
meeting six new members were added
to the company roster, three of them
returned volunteers from the Philip
pine war.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CERTAIN.


City Council Orders Contract Made with
seufert g. Condor Company.
A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held Friday for the purpose
of considering the proposition of es-
tablishing fire alarm system. There
were present Councilmen Stephens,
Keller, Clough, Cunning, Johnston,
Shackelford, Kelley and Wilson. In
the absence of Mayor Kuck, Cou lcil-
man Stephens was elected preai dent
pro tenn.
Three propositions were admitted
for constructing and maintaing the
system, one from the Oregon Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. and two from
the Seufert & Condor Co. The p,opo-
sition from the o. 7. & T. Co. was that
they would erect the system, cha, ging
the city actual cost of construction,
giving the city use of their poles and
eads, and would maintain the system
free, except the cost of repairs and
putting in new boxes. Seufert &
Condon's first proposition was that the
company would construct the system
bearing all expense, and would charge
the city $3.50 per month for maintain
ing seven boxes, and S1.75 per month
for each additional box. The second
proposition was that the company
would allow the use of their poles aud
leads for carrying the wires and would
put in the system at cost of $206.5O
to the city, and thereafter maintain
the same for one dollar per month.
On motion of Councilman Cunning
the second proposition of the Seufert
& Condor Co. was accepted, and the
mayor and recorder were authorized,
on the part of the city, to enter into
contract with Seufert & Condor Co.
of the system.
On recommendation of Councilman
Johnston, of the fire and water COM
mittee, it was ordered that light be
put in front of the South Side Hose
Co. house, and on recommendation of
Councilman Clough, of the streets and
public property committee, it was or
dered that the city pest house be leased
to the present tenant.
An ordinance was introduced by
Councilman Cunning entitled general
ordinance No. 307, amending the ordi-
nance governing the organization of
fire companies, 30 as to allow Colum-
bia Hose Co. No. 2 to take charge of
the chemical engine and changing the
name of the company to Colum bia
Hose & Chemical Engine Co. No. 2.
The ordinance was placed on its final
passage and adopted.
1t was determined to sell the old
hook and ladder truck to ar. Long,
representing the company from which
the new truck was bought, for $50.

vim Put it In Ctrcu,ation,

Through ruling made by Secretary
of State Dunbar and State Treasurer
Moore, in accordance with an opinion
rendered by Attorney Black
burn, money appropriated for the cur.
rent expenses of the. Oregon National
Guard which shall remain unexpended
at the close of the year will not be
available for expenditure next year.
There is in the general fund an unex-
pended balance of about S1S, 900, of the
various amounts appropriated for
National Guard expenses for this year,
including 5000 of the.regular annual
annual appropriation of $4,000, q
special appropriation Of $S,S97.6S made
by the last legislature, and 5000 paid
to the state for expenses incurred in
mobilizing the Second Oregon volun-
teers. Adjutant-General Gantebein
states that the state military
board would buy all of next
years supplies before January 1,
and thus avoid loss of the un-
expended balance. This will leave
the regular annaul appropriation Of
$50, 900 available for use in defraying
encampment and other expenses of the
guard next year.

FRICTION OF RAILWAY TRAINS
A. Large Amount of Air II DRAGGED
Along by the Rapidly Nov
ing Cars.

Prof. F. E. Nipher has recently meas
ured the frictional effect OF moving
trains upon the air near them, reports
the Scientific American. His appar-
atus consisted of hemispherical cup,
which he could fix at distances up to 30
inches from the window of railway
carriage. The mouth of this collector
was turned toward the direction in
which the train was moving at the time
Of observation, and the pressure due to
the motion was conveyed to pressure
puage by means of an India rubber
tube attached to the back of the collect
ing cup. The results obtained showed
that a large amount of air is dragged
along with rapidly moving train, the
motion being also communicated to air
many feet away. The air not only pos
sesses sufficient power to cause one to
topple over, but it also communicates
spinning motion, tending to roll per.
son under the train if the nature of the
ground does not prevent such result
