THE DEER's HORNS.

They Present all the Phenomena of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.
Why and how is the deer so peculiar
y unlike any other Of the bovine race.
the horn differing SO materially from
all the horned cattle In its composition,
growth, maturity and decline? 1t pre-
SCENTS all the phenomena OF animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation Of the
frontal bone. It rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as a vege-
table. 1t Is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
Of the hbrlQe the same as an animal
It IL clothed with skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest Of the body. This covering and
hair possess property unknown in
4Nther animal bodies-that Of being
atypt1c to stanch it's own blood when
wounded 1t carries marks Of the age
On the buck by putting out an extra
bRAnch each year. which shows an ad-
Guonal pRwer each year to produce
chem. And this power does not exist
IN the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class OF animals. Again. the horn
possesses properties unknown In any
other animal matter. 1t Is entirely in
sodorous. capable OF resisting putrefac-
4ion and almost lmpervious to the eft.
fects OF the atmosphere. !,

dissolve these horns readily, even
though they are not soluble in alcohol
and resist the action OF acids and aka
lies. It u the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreatdon.
The male and the female are sustain
ed by the same nutrition and elements,
and the male only produces horns. This
phenomenoh. Is quite as. much OF curl
Osity as the absence Of the horn in the
buck after shedding.

DEPTH OF A. RAINFALL.
The Method by Witch 1t Is Accurate
49,. 1 7xi ,.ed

The Method by Witch 1t Is Accurate
.--. I : so. red.
Prob question that has pu1-
Hled ,ue lay mind is how the depth Of
rainfall may be accurately determined.
The way it Is done is this:
A funnel whose larger aperture rep
resents a surface Of 100 square inches
IS placed in a position where 1t may
catch the direct fall Of the rain, with
the rim Of the funnel extending per-
haps an inch or more beyond the plat
form to which it may be fixed. This
Is for the purpose of preventing any
rain from being washed into the funnel
and increasing the true fall From this
funnel the water runs to tube which
bears an exact and carefully determin-
ed ratio to the area Of the tunnels
mouth, say one-tenth.
If. therefore. the tube shows water to
Ehe depth Of an inch, it Is clear that one
tenth Of an inch Of rain has fallen. The
tube Is provided with carefully grad
nated scale so that the fall may be
readily seen. Three inches of rain
"Oulu Stu" -uCpIA VA ~ AASACO IA q
tube one-tenth the size Of the receiving
aperture, and the decimals of an inch
could be quickly noted by observing the
scale.
If placed on the roof Of a building,
the apparatus should be kept away
from the edges to prevent any peculiar
slant Of the wind carrying into the fun
mel larger proportion Of rain than
would fall into it under normal condi-
lions. The larger the aperture Of the
receiving funnel is made the more &C.
curate will be the results obtained.
A curious fact that has been noted in
connection with rainfalls is that gauges
placed on roofs usually gather less wa
ter than those PLACED on the ground.
This is accounted for on the theory that
the rain in falling absorbs some Of the
moisture Of the air, and the greater dis
tance it falls the larger will be the.
bulk Of the individual drops. - New
York Herald.

ALUM IN FOOD.
How Can the Danger be Avoidedl
SLIM JIM. !"

How Can the Danger be Avoided
The reported cases ofspoisoning
from the use of alum baking powder
have awakened the public to the seri-
GUS danger which menaces the health
of the people of this country in num-
erous alum powders which are urged
upon consumers.
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they
are sold, or from the TACT that they
are accompanied by gift, or are dis
posed Of under some scheme. The
alum powder costs but a few cents
a pound TO make, and is often sold
at twenty or twenty-five cents pound
sometimes as low as ten cents.
1t is impossible to name all the
alum powders in the market, but any
baking pow der sold at a low price, or
as costing much less than
the well-kno7n: high-class powders,
or accompanied by present, or dis
posed of under any scheme. is of this
class, detrimental to health and to be
avoided.
These facts should incline co lsum-
ers to turn deaf ear to all importuni-
ties to buy the inferior powders. The
wise housekeeper will decline in all
cases to take them.

"'There could be no question as tc
the nature of the gas, as an excep
tioually brilliant yellow fame, with:
out any blue shade, showed whenever
the gas was ignited. The gas when
lighted also gives out large amount
of heat.
"'At all points visited and examin-
ed there is large amount of oil float
ing on the water. 1t is my belief that
somewhere beneath the surface in the
cretaceous rock gas or oil or both
exist in comme4 cial quantities. This
is not known for certainty, but it is
logically inferred from the facts. I
haye myself not known such strong
indications of gas and oil elsewhere
I, to result in failure, if prospecting was
properly done with drill"
To show the immenseA profits de-
rived from the oil fields in California,
we clip the following from an ex-
change:
''SURvEY OF THE OIL FIELDS In a
recent issue of the San Francisco
Chronicle special correspondent,
who is Investigating the development
in the various oil districts of Cali
fcrnia, has an interesting article on the
new Kern river field. Two years ago
this district was practically barren
and neglected waste. It furnished
meager pasturage for sheep during
a small part of the year, but was un-
attractive and unin viting to any one
until an experienced Pennsylvania
Oil miner visited it. His trained eye
and intelligence detected the petro-
leum indications in the district, and
he proceeded to ppspect for the
precious fluid. The discovery which
he made at comparatively small
depth revolutionized the status of the
district and awakened new ideas con-
corning the mineral resources of Cal
fornia.
JUMP IN LAND PRICES.
Gland which the Southern Pacific.
company and the federal government
were glad enough to part with at.
$1.25 and $3.50 per acre became sud-
denly immensely valuable when it,
was known that in the underlying
qualification was reservoir of petro-
leum of untold area and depth, and
productive wells were opened yield
ing daily from rs to 300 barrels. Now
the land, which was gladly disposed
of two years ago by the then owners
at 50 80 per acre, is selling at from
500 to 5000 per acre, while within an
area five miles in length and three in
breadth $40 wells are drawing crude
petroleum from the oil-bearing sands
from so to 400 feet in thickness,
which lie at aD average depth of 500
feet below the surface. Still the
actual extent of the field is unknown.
Systemic prospecting is steadily en-
larging the, ia, and the unexplored
territory is a. promising as that which
is already Yielding"
Fortunes have been made in the
past year or two in California and in
the past four months in Texas by the
investment of a few dollars, and from
all reports obtailaole are liable to be
made IN Eastern Washington within
the next twelve months. We again
call attention to the advertisement in
another column.

The P>cific Coal, Oil aDd Gas
Company Of Spokane, Wash.

i We invite the attention of our read
ers to an advertisement of this com
pany in another column. The officers
of the company are we'll known bust
ness men of Spokane, Washington
and refer to any banker or business
man in Spokane. Immense fortunes
have recently been made in the oil
fields of California and Texas, and
the history of the Pennsylvania, Ohio
Virginia and Indiana fields are known
to every one. The new fields in East
ern Washington give every promise
of productiyeness. The Pacific Coal,
Oil & Gas Company hold under 70
year lease go acres of land. They
recently employed Prof. Samnel
Aughey to visit the company's hold
ings. In this connection it may be
we'll to state that Prof. Augbey has
given years of his time to the study
of oil and gas lands, and is recog-
nized authority upon these subjects.
A synopsis of his report can be OBJ
tanned from the company by any one
sending their name and postofhce adj
dress written plainly on postal card.
We clip the following comments
concerning Prof. Aughey's visit to the
company's lands from the Spokane
Chronicle of April 25th:
"a new oil district has been found
at PaIouse City, and it gives splendid
showings of gas and oil. Spokane
parties have taken up the project OF
sinking on land leased by them in
that section. The Pacific Coal, Oil &
Gas Company Of Spokane has leased
large tract of land in that viniclty'
and will do the customary exploring
work.
"The discovery of gas there was
made in most peculiar manner.
During the high water in the Palouse
river this spring the water rose and
o7erhowed the land on it's banks. At
one place near the bridge the water
backed up over a piece OF ground.
Some railroad men we're going to work
of morning, and as they came to
the place mentioned they heard roar
ing and bubbling. After a time they
noticed that it came from the aaita-
ton of the waters under the bridge,
which was being tossed about, and
large bubbles appeared n the sur
face. The men Immediately thought
that it must come from gas, and 60
ing down and applying match,. the
gas over the water exploded with con-
siderable force and good blaze re-
suited. The men continued the fire.
works that day, and the Spokane
parties were told of the facts and
have leased large tract of land.
THE REPORT.
Professor Aughey has prepared a
report upon the district anc praises
it in n.os. hattering terms. 10 says:
There are y number of sma. springs
on JohA Calvert's place. In the laTg-
9 It spring large quantity of gas is
set free and comes to the surface.
en- lighting a match TO the gas ae it
comes to the surface the flashes of
