 Skating on Water.

According to Prof. J. Joly of Trinity College. Dublin, a skater really glides about on a narrow finn of water, con> tinually forming under the skate, and resuming the solid form when relieved Of pressure. He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of the skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to liquefy a thin line of ice, and this gives the skate it's bite" When the ice is very cold, the pressure is sometimes inadequate to reduce the melting point sufficient ly, and then, as all skaters know, 1t is difficult to make the skate bite. For very cold ice Prof. Joly recommends hollow ground" skates, because the effective pressure increases with the thinness of the edge.

Cubans and Porto Ricans.

One result of the provisional state of things now existing in Cuba is that Cubans who travel abroad are without any definite government protection. They are no longer subjects of Spain and they are not citizens of the United States. Secretary Hay has issued in- structions under which they will be given the good offices of American rep resentatives abroad, in case of need, but this is by way of friendly inter- vention rather than official protection. Porto Ricans, however, will be given protection in all matters in which American citizens would be entitled to it; but they will be registered at the consulates as native Porto Ricans and uot as citizens of the United States.

Hen and Terrier.

A. ". Giehm of Sioux City, Iowa, re- gently purchased sitting of eggs and placed them under an old hen in his hen-house. In the same hen-heuse lives a terrier. A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup pies, and they were placed in a box in the corner. To the astonishment of the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out great fight. The mother of the pups is on friendly relations with the hen, it would seem, for she lies on the floor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother. In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled.

 New York Tribune: Utah claims a town of $50 inhabitants, not one of whom is a woman. Not only are wom- er not allowed as residents, but they are forbidden to enter the town limits. This unique village is named Sunny side, and is situated in Whitmore Can yon, near Price. II is a coal mining camp and is not, as might be supposed, the property of professed woman ha- ters, hut of sordid business men. The company which owns the coal mines has noe yet secured a perfect title to the lands which form it's property. Until the title is secure any one as- tablishing a home on the land might claim property right and force the company to buy him out. and it vas to prevent any such contingency aris- ing that the company issued the edict against the miners wives living in or even visiting the place.

In Favor Of BeOkham.

The Kentucky Governorship case
was decided Monday by the United
States Supreme Court in the interest
of Beckham, affirming the decision OF
the Kentucky Court Of Appeals. The
opinion was handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller and the case was dis
missed for want Of Jurisdiction.
He said that tho court should be the
last to overstep the bounds limiting ita
own jurisdiction, and that the deter
mination OF cases of this character con.
tests for State Office must necessarily
be settled by the political branch OF
the Government. That branch had
acted in the kentucky case, when the
General Assembly took Jurisdiction.
There was no appeal from tho As
mbly's decision, which was favora.
BILE to Goebel and Beckham, except tc
the tribunal of the people, which tribu'
nal, the Chief Justice said, was alwayl
in session.
He also said the case was purely s
State case; that Kentucky was in the
full possession of it's faculties a. {
member of the Union, end that ther,
was no emergency at that time calling
