little sooner, to be sure, and thus have
avoided some unpleasantness. but such
a reasonable proceeding did not occur
to either disputant. The British had
strayed over the line upon territory
claimed and for some months occupied
BY the Russians. and the latter imme-
diately resented the act and stood on
the defensive, with a very decided in
clinatiOn toward the aggressive. Said
General Wogack to General Barrow,
You must apologize. Said General
Barrow to General Wogack: Il won
and, what is more. I stand right here.
Attempt to move me If you dare" Then
the redoubtable Count Won Waldersee
tried his good Offices as a disinterested
intermediary, but soon gave up in dis
gust and referred the whole matter to
the respective governments, who finally
decided upon a mutual condescension
and instructed their representatives to
make UP, proffer regrets and withdraw
the troops. And there the matter ended
temporarily To those who take only
superficial view of the proceeding and
who imagine that the whole fuss was
merely on account of a small strip OF
land occupied by Russians and desired
by the British for railroad siding the
incident is closed. But there are those
who look beneath the surface and see
something sinister in the affair. They
aver that England purposely intended
to annoy her ursine neighbor in order
TO involve Japan. There are others who
declare with equal emphasis that Rus
STA had motive in opposing the Brit
ish design and was on the watch for
just such an occasion to make a casus
beln Of it. Perhaps both parties are
right.
The matter Of the railroad siding was
an indication only of what the Russian
policy Is IN its entirety and at one fell
stroke tore away the mask from Rus
sian designs in Manchuria and Korea
The real significance, then, in Rus
Eta's latest move appears from the fact
that the railroad she seeks to control at
Tien-tsin makes q Iink-and the most

do streets. The shaft is down $50 feet
and the indications for great mine are
very encouraging. The vein on which
the company is sinking is the largest in
Butte. 1t has always been known as
the Mother Lode Of the camp. The
plant consists Of three eighty horse pow
er boilers. five drill air compressor,
which does away with hand drilling, an
engine capable of hosting from a depth
of 1900 feet, powerful pumps, tanks,
cars blacksmith shop, shaft house, lum-
Der yard, etc. A force Of twenty FIVE
experienced miners is putting the shaft
down at the rate of 80 feet per month.
They expect to strike fine ore at a
depth Of $50 feet. You do not find a
copper mine in Butte except with depth.

spent on the mine and it's magnificent
plant. There is now about So, 600 cash
in the treasury.

MUSICAL SNAILS.
Strange Discovery of FreEch NAT
urniist who Claims Mach for
the MolIusks.

A German scientist recently pointed
out that snails were able to draw i'm
mense weights. and now French nat
uralist Claims that there are few, II
any, animals which have higher up
probation of music than snalls, says
the New York Herald.
This naturalist is NJ. S. Jourdain, and
his views on the subject are expressed
at length in paper which he has I'D
dressed to the French Biological So
ciety.
Place some snails on pane ofglass.
he says, and you will find that, as they
move over it, they will make musical
sounds similar to those which per-
son can produce by wetting his finger
and then rubbing it around glass
tumbler. Complete airs, he points out,
have been played on tumbiers in this
way, and he expresses the opinion that
quite as good results can be obtained
by using snails instead of fingers.
II is curious fact that AT least half
a dozen scientists are now carefully
studying suails. The reason, according
70 one of them. is because these little
animals are extraordinarily syinpa-
thetic and intelligent. Indeed, so high
y gifted are they supposed to be that
a writer did not hesitate to ascribe to
them few months ago the honor of
being the precursors of the wireless
