Losses from wolves and coyotes have
been greatly reduced and this credit /,

the new bounty law. This law should
be still further strengthened by the
next Legislature,
Altogether the report Of the sheep
commissioner is Il credit TO the industry
and to the commissioner himself. Mr..
Hilger is untiring in his devotion
to the sheep interests of Fergus county
and as long as it is possible should be
continued in his present position.
Owing to the meeting of the national
irrigation congress at Chicago, which
will be attended by Senator Power, the
president of the state board of sheep
commissioners, the annual meeting of
the board has been postponed until
December 10th, when the reports from
all counties will be ready for comparison
and the further needs of the wool inter

A sad ease is that of Congressman
Boutelle, who is now pronounced hope
lcssly insane. For the past year or
more he has been confined in the Nc
Lean insane asylum at Waverly, Mass
achusetts, receiving the best medical
n and constant nursing, as it seems,
to no avail. His constituents reelected
him in the hope that it would aid in re-
storing his reason, but the intellect was
too far gone to be rallied by this gen.
erous act. A pathetic feature is the
constant attendant &c upon the unfor.
tunate man by his daughter Grace, who
seems TO have sacrificed all else in life
to be with her father. Though bereft
of reason he seems to love his child as
fondly as ever.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of MngIc.

No one would suppose that it is pos
sible to hold n glowing coal on piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth. but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
Is a good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form of
heat If n poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end. although it has not been in the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with. the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat. Take
a globe of copper and draw piece of
cloth tightly over it so that there is
not wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can safe
ly put Il glowing coal on top of the
cloth, and. while it burns tiercely. the
cloth will not even be scOrched.
The reason is that the great cOnduc-
tivity of the copper draws the heat of
the coal before it can burn the cloth.
Do not try this experiment with n
good handkerchief first. for If the cloth
is not tightly drawn it may burn. but
take some worthless piece of linen or
muslin, aud after you are certain of
your experience you can astOnish your
friends who do not know the secret

Making a billiard Ball,

1t requires skilled labor to turn out
