A Wonderful Old Oak Tree,

A wonderful old oak fell the other
day in the royal forest of Alt-Lietzo-
goercke. 1t had flourished for more
than four hundred years, and there
was not in the entire forest another
tree quite as stately or robust. The
head forester, hearing of its fall, or
dered that it be cut into convenient
sections and removed. While this was
being done the workmen noticed that
the base of the trunk was hollow, and
a closer inspection showed that there
was some kind of an animal within
this broad cavity. 1t proved to be a
fox, which had been severely wounded,
and had sought shelter in the retreat.
AS the body has been completely num-
flied, it is supposed that at least a
hundred years had passed since the
poor animal went into the tree to die.
The body. when found, was curled ND,
and so admirably was it preserved that
uue would have said Reynard was
sleeping.

WYOMING WANTS 1T.

1t will be seen from the Leader g
Washington correspondence that tn,
bill providing for government aid to
schools in each state for instruction in
mining. is in a fair way of becoming
a law. Representative MOnde,l has dis
missed his bill in the house for this
purpose and acc pied that of Senator
1IIiman. which passed the senate and
the house committee on mines and
mining, through Mr.. MOndell. has re-
ported fayOrably on the measure. As
il is the policy Of the country to favor
practical instruction. as shown by the
endowment Of agricultural colleges
throughout the United States. it is
quite probable that the bill will be
passed by the house. Possibly there
may not be time to get action on the
measure, as adjournment is near. but
the measure is "A just one and should
not fail. Tho more we have of useful
education the letter is it for the peo-
pie of the country. As to the mining
source Of the country. they are be
yond the most sauguine estimates. but
we have reached a stage where scien-
tific training and scientific methods
are essential. 1t is no longer q mat
ter simply of shaking a pan or throw
Ing gravel into a sluice box. The most
profitable mining today is in districts
where only refractory ores are obtain

quaintance was particularly extensive
in Nebraska, as he had been connected
with Ii" ElkhJrn road. first as ~superin-
tenGsnt Of telegraph. and later as SUI

began his railroad career on the Union
Pacific system in 1875, since which
time he has been consecutively en-
