Strange Discovery of a French Nat uraIist Who Claims Much for
 the MoIlusIks.

A German scientist recently pointed out that snails were able to draw inn mense weights, and now French nat uralist claims that there are few, if any, animals which have a higher ap- preciation of music than snails, 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 ad- dressed to the French Biological so- ciety.
 Place some snails on pane of glass. 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 tumblers in this way, and he expresses the opinion that quite as good results can be obtained by using snails instead of fingers.
 It is curious fact that at least half a dozen scientists are now carefully studying snails. The reason, according to one of them, is because these little animals are extraordinarily sympa- thetic and intelligent. Indeed, so high ly 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 telegraph system"

ITALY's DIsCoNTENT.
Strikes on the Farms Caused by Poor Pay, Poor Food and Socialist
 Agitation.

From the 18th of June to the 18th of July the wheat. rye and barley har- vests are in progress in Italy and the socialists are taking this critical time in the agricultural industry to spread the gospel of discomfort against the conditions of labor, wages and taxa tion. It is feared that large farmers will be ruined by strikes among farm laborers. On an average two strikes q day have occurred in Italy since February, the movement affecting all trades and classes of working men. At any moment it is feared that a spark might kindle confiagratio The socialist leaders plead for peace full means for bettering the conditions of labor, but the Italian people are inf1ammable and they are notorious ly underpaid and underfed. They are so largely in the majority that they hold the remedy in their own hands, if they would but use their power in telligently and toward definite end. But the mass of the people are miser- ably ignorant as well as poor, and feel doubly helpless and i1npotent. They have only brute strength and lives to throw away in fruitless revolution.

SPIDERS WITHOUT EYES.
Yet They Hunt Their Prey with Ac. curncy in the Subterranean
 Depths.

A miner may be superstitious, but he is as plucky as man as breathes. One creature, however, most of them shy at the sight of. This is the great, bloated, white spider, which rustles along the walls of the shaft and dis appears in some cleft in the rock. Nat uralists for a long time would not believe that these spiders were really cave dwe1lers. They declared that they were merely ordinary spiders that had fallen or crept into the mines. But at last one was brought to famous nat uralist, and found by him to be abso- lutely without eyes. This proved be- wound doubt that for centuries the creatures ancestors had lived beyond the reach of sunlight.
 A spider, even if he does live in the depths Of the earth, must eat, and more recently his prey has been dis covered. It IS {. sort of small beetle. Another scorpion-lilke insect, called the blothrus, also takes his blind way over the rocks and stalks by sound and touch he same prey. It is wonder ful thing to watch one of these crea- lures hunting beetle, and almost inn possible to realize its absolute blind ness when one secs how perfectly it's movements correspond with those of its intended victim.

CATCHBAS ON MAPLE STREET
 CAUSES TROUBLE.
Costs the Town Many Dollars in Con tinual Repairs Needs Cobble Gut Citizens Will Lay Curbing- Other Notes.

Residents on Maple street who are always looking ahead and abiding by that old saying. ..In time of peace pre- pare for war;" are having something to say about the condition of the street in that section. A short time ago the town put in 6 catch basin with a grat- ing to prevent debris from clogging the same. Every time it rains this grating becomes filled with various de- posits, which turns the course of the water aside. consequently doing an endless amount of damage to the road way by flowing almost anywhere but the place intended. The only sure preventative for this trouble is for the town to put in cobble gutters along the street. This will save dollars and cents on repairs and washoIts and cause a better feeling in general among the residents of Maple street. If the town will lay the cobble gutters there are several residents who have manifested their willingness to lay the curbing. This should command iTnnie- diate attention

Collecting PapaI Coins.

The pope is not allowing the young king of Italy to pick up all the coin collections in the Italian market, says the New York Tribune. Six thousand pieces, containing many rare papal coins, which were collected by Cardi- na, Randi, have been bought by Pope Leo and added to the fine collection in the vatican. Many fell into the cardinals hands in 1862 for their weight in silver, when Pope Plus in troduced the French monetary sys- tenn and the old coins were retired by the papal government.

Murderers Escnpe Too Frequently.
 The number of deaths from mur- derous violence is much smaller in proportion to population in England than in the United States. But in the older country the taking of hll- man life without warrant of law is adequately punished in most in stances. Tn the newer country the list of homicides every year is ap- palling, while the legal penalty for murder is exacted in so few cases that it does not appear to have an eff feet sufficiently deterrent to those who are inclined to kill-N.

WIRES TELL THE WEATHER.
Strands of the Telegraph Found to Be Accurate Meteorological
 Prophets.

There are no more reliable weather prophets anywhere than the tele- graph wires that are now so common as to be within the reach of every one," as bargain counter hustlers ex- press it. This novel discovery was made by a German physician in the following manner: As he was waiting for train at a country station he heard a shrill sound, which was made by the wind as it passed through network of nearby wires. At once the doctor remembered that he had frequently heard a similar sound either imme- diately before or after storm or heavy fall of rain or snow, and it nat urally occurred to him to try and as- certain whether there was any connec- tion between the sound and such changes in the weather.
 As a heavy shower of rain fell with in 4S hours after he had heard the sound at the railroad station he con- cluded that there was such a connec- ton, and he then determined to inves- tigate the matter thoroughly. As a result he now maintains, first, that any unusual disturbance in the telegraph wires is an infallible indicator of bad weather, and, second, that the nature of the changes in the atmo sphere may be learned from the sound which the wind makes when passing through the wires.
 Thus a deep sound, he says, which is of considerable or medium strength, indicates that there will be slight showers of rain with moderate winds within from 30 to AS hours, and, onthe other hand, a sharp, shrill sound isthe sure token of heavy storm, which will be accompanied by much rain or snow " -t {4 \ 1t < A st M

Conditions of Speed on Railroads.


 Railroading has already been a pro- life source of profit to the inventor. but before speeds materially higher than those now used can be generally adopted he must he called upon to again improve the railroad in it's every member, says Everybody's Magazine The rail joint must either be abol- ished altogether, making the lines con tinuous by welded joints, sas is done in the best street railway practice, or a mechanical joint better than any yet made must be invented. But more important than all will be methods of preventing collisions while dispatc- ing trains at short intervals. Since electricity will be the motive power it is possible that this may be so ap- piled as to make it impossible for two trains to be run into each other even by intent

NEW HAT FROM PORTO RICO.
Summer Headgear Made of Grass and Is Light and Cool But Won't
 stand Wetting.

One of the things our new island pos sessions have brought us is new kind of summer hat. It comes from Porto Rico and is made of woven grass, says the New York Sun.
 The color is bright tan, the shape of the Fedora, and the cost is small. The hat has not become very popular yet, but few are seen in New York streets and many more in the sub urbs.
 In its simplest form the hat has a wide band of the same material and the same color wound around the crown, but some of the bands are dyed red and blue, and the hats ornamented with these are very gay indeed. A variation from the usual form is a sombrero shape with an extra wide brim.
 The advantages of the hats are lightness and coolness. The slightest breeze penetrates the woven grass. The principal disadvantage is that if once wet they shrink, and to counter act this as far as possible each hat contains strong leather sweatband.

HUNTLEY MAKES PROTEST.
Objects to Being Dumping Ground for
Smallpox Suspects.

Huntley, Mont, Dec. 30, 1900
Editor The Gazette: The citizens of
this place are very much alarmed over
an item printed in your paper of this
date regarding the action taken by the
board of health of Yellowstone coun-
ty III regard to preventing smallpox
spreading in Billings.
The citizens of this place want it
understood that should the Burlington
road endeavor to dump those men here
in any number they will organize a
shotgun quarantine and will meet
every Burlington train and will not
allow one of them to get off the train
here.
At a meeting held this afternoon it
was decided that if the board of
health of Yellowstone county did try
such methods, in the future all trade
from Huntley should go to Forsyth,
which business amounts to a great
deal more than you may have any idea
of, and the business men of Billings
would be losers by a considerable sum
at the end of the year. @ +
l think the board of health has
little feeling when they would expose
the people of a place like this, where
there is not even a doctor to look
after their sick, should smallpox
spread III a place like this where there
are some rs people.
Yours truly,
Citizen.

METHODIST SERVICE.
Held in Observance of the Closing of the
Ninteenth Century. If

The last day Of the nineteenth CEN
tnry was very fittingly observed at
the Methodist Episcopal church by the
members and friends of the church.
A service was held in the forenoon
from 1890 until 12, and in the after
Zoe from 3 to 4. Then at 9 O'Clock
last night the service was resumed
and continued until the dawn of the
new year and the twentieth century.
The evening service opened with a
season of song continuing for 30
minutes, followed by the reading of
letters from pastors, who have served
the local church since it's beginning,
some Is years ago. This proved very
interesting and especially so to the
new members of the church. A social
session then ensued and for an hour
those present had a pleasant time in
conversation, i~nterspersed with re-
At II 80 a conservation
service was begun continuing until
the nineteenth century had died and
