On our return from camp in Colorado,

Inland town on White river. Is miles
from the nearest railroad. and We were
sgfoeably surprised at the showing
made by the town. It IL - bright and
Wsde-awake town a one could ask for,
With good buildings and excellent stocks
Of ooods. Everything Is freighted into
town by team over very good roads, and
soaDe Of the loads hauled by the six
horse freight wagons are tremendous.
The freighters are paid 50 cents per
huadred from the railway station at
Rt1e to Meeker, IS miles. and they
draw from eight to twslve thousand
pounds per load on their double wagons.
The town hiss . population Of about, 100,

and is looking for electric lights and
wsterworks. There are some hne
ranches around the town but the cattle
industry is about all the farmers can
engage in to advantage.-Fox Lake,

The milk diet 10 Of more value than

New York Herald.
The popular superstition that milk

many misguided people, in addition

for another meal. and complain that
It disagrees with them and increases
their weight. In order to derive
benefit from the milk diet one should
get hold Of few fundamental facts.
In the first place, IN pints Of pure
milk. or three glasses, contain. be-
side water, enough food in concen-
trated form and properly proper
toned to make . meal for an adult
human being. This quantity of milk,
with the addition of q little fruit, is
the regulation breakfast and lunch
of the dieter. For dinner a quarter

rather rigorous treatment.
Milk and meat should never be

tables, like beans and peas, should
be avoided entirely by the Routy, but
II BY reason of iniirmity Of appetite

where the flesh is too weak conces-

That the ranges Of the West are being

has long been self evident. even to ordi-
nary observers not directly interested In
raising beef cattle. What . profound
influence both Of these factors have had
those who have been interested In the
business best realize. Only . few years
ago Colorado and Wyoming were great
range states. Now they are Of relatively
little consequence in this respect. Most
of the cattle must now be raised within
fenced enclosures and fed on hay
through the winter season. Ten years
ago hundreds of square miles Of north
ern Montana we're virgin sil for the
hardy range cattleman. Now even that
is fast disappearing under the influence
of settlers who have overrun the whole
country and cut up tho ranges into
small sub divisions.
At last it is not at all unlikely that
the ranchman who has been land poor
may be able to realize his hopes, for
property adapted to stock raising under
fence. with sufficient water to raise hay,
backed by an open range which can
never be utilized except for an open
range, Is necessarily coming into greater
demand than ever before. The report
of the census bureau will be watched
for with eager Interest. not only in the
West. but throughout the country,
which realizes what an important ole

THE BATTLEsHlp STORY.

The people of Honolulu are not con-
scious of any political scheme to disturb
the peace which would require or sug
gest the presence here of a United
States battleship, but they, neverthe-
less, would welcome a permanent guest
of that sort. One of Uncle Sans big
armor-cIads is worth $4,000 per month
to the port In which she lies, and SO
far as Honolulu is concerned, a feet
of them would not come amiss. But
all the same the danger apprehended
by the Army and Navy Journal, namely,
a fight between political clans, is so
remote that the people at Washington
who direct the movements of the navy
have no need to lie awake nights.
We could wish, however, that the
Government would take a more realiz-
ing view of the moral influences needed
here to impress our nonpolitical popu-
lation. This is an American Territory
in the hands Of an alien proletariat.
That is to say, mi-civilized laborers,
representing four nationalities, Chinese,
japanese, negro and Porto Rican.
greatly outnumber the whites, and are
by no means welded, all of them. to
the arts of peace. Their tendency to
strike and to live an idle and vicious
life thereafter, in Honolulu, is not
without it's portents. While 1t might
be true that in the settlement of do
nestle troubles. the United States
forces would be loath to interfere, the
sight of a modern man-of-war, an
chored at intervals in the harbors and
bays of the group and prowling among
the islands, could not help have a chas-
tening influence on the turbulent fell
lows who have been brought here to do
the labor of the fields.
So we hope that the battleship Will
come and come to stay. If any further
reasons why are needed we might sug-
.gest that the strategic key to the
North Pacific. now unfortifed. ought
not to be left in the guardianship of a
mere tug.

contradictory facts, we should note
that as we have no exact standard to

1.-THE same may be said of the alleged

servations, that the eruption OF vesu-
vius that took place in May last was
due in great part, if not entirely, to
the heavy rains of the preceding winter,
which, filtering slowly through the soil
to great depths, reached molten lava
and caused the explosion. He
supports this idea by stating that after
six months of comparative repose, CO.
inciding with long dry period, the
volcano became all at once threatening
in the latter part of November. after
three weeks of excessive rain. Not
conSsnt with his own observations. he

VOLCANOES AND THE WEATHER.

Volcanic phenomena, says the Liter
airy Digest, have been standing puzzle
to scientific men, and 1t can not be
said that they are yet agreed regard
ing the primary causes of eruptions.
Some recent attempts to connect vol
canic outbreaks with astronomical or
meteorological phenomena are inter-
esting. Two of these are discussed in
Cosmos (Paris, April 30, by M. P.
Goggia, in an article on THE Last
Phase of Activity of Vesuvius." This
phase, the author tells US, although it
has been marked by no great catas-
trophies, has been fertile in observa-
tions and Investigations" which have
been brought to public attention by
papers read before the various learned
societies. He speaks particularly of
attempts to connect the varying phases
of the volcanoes activity with the
phases of the moon on the one hand
and with the amount of rainfall on the
other. Says the writer:
During the last three years of his
life, Professor Palmieri thought that
he had established relationship be-
tween the phases of the moon and the
activity of Vesuvius, analogous to that
existing between the periodic move
ments of the sea (the tides), and the
age of the moon =; he even at
tempted to show that in every twenty
four hours there was a maximum and
minimum of volcanic force CORES
ponding to the passage of the moon ov-
er the meridian. This was a seductive
idea; but it would have a better basis
If the existence of central fire could
be established irrefutably, Probably,
also, M. Palmieri, under the influence
OF a preconceived idea, was led to gem
eralize from facts due simply to chance;
for many scientists have not accepted
his theories, and have even sought
to establish their inexactness by re-
searches of their own. Thus, M. Sem
mola, having observed vesuvius during
the two years succeeding the month of
July, 1895, showed that in this period
of time there were 265 days of particu-
larly intense or feeble activity-a num-
Der which can not be made to CORES
pond with the 103 lunar phases of the
period Of observation. Besides this,
