IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE.

1OuCQ companion.
When ones friend is scientist and given
to experiments, little caution may not be
out Of place before consenting to do him a
favor. That however, did not occur to
certain well-known public man whose expe-
rience Is related in Australian paper. He
went to the laboratory of an old schoolmate.
a Melbourne professor Of chemistry, to make
a friendly CALL The professor was studying
dark-brown substance spread out on sheet
of paper.
Il say he cried, when greetings had been
exchanged, would you kindly let me place
a bit of this your tongue? My taste has
become vitiated by trying all sorts Of things.
Certainly" responded the accommodating
friend, and he promptly opened his mouth.
The professor took up some OF the sub
stance under analysis and put 1t on his
friends tongue The man worked it around
in his mouth for fully a minute, tasting it
much as he might have tasted choice con-
lection.
Note any effect?" asked the professor.
"No, none"
ut doesn't paralyze or prick your tongue?"
"Not that can detect
81 thought not. There are no alkaloids in
It, then. How does 1t taste?''
Bitter gall
"Hem-m-m. All right"
By this time the visitors curiosity was
aroused. But what Is it, anyhow" he in
quired.
IT don't know. That's what I'm trying to
find out Some one has been poisoning horses
with it"

BIG CHICAGO TRADERS BEARIsH
Receipts LiSht-Clearances $4,000
Bu.--Nevys and Gossip of the.
Grain Trade.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Feb. 5.
Wheat fell off again to-day in price ana
Minneapolis May lost &c up to noon This
was, ON the whole, about the dullest day
in the grain market for long time. From
the opening of the session there scarcely
any price variation Of Importance for an
hour. All markets were alike. May wheat
held for nearly an hour in Chicago at 1850
iSAc. Weakness the prevailing sent-
ment, and the local market apparently was
III shape to break on any material pressure,
but the same lack Of bearish aggressiveness
that was feature yesterday was noted again.
The opening here was Ac lower, 743ac for
May, this on little warmer weather in the
west and southwest. Not much wheat was
offered, however, and the market rallied to
14es@I4Ac. The bears afraid to put
out short wheat, fearing rally on any news
OF an encouraging nature. The bulls were
equally afraid to buy much, as the impress
sion had been gained that some of the heavy
operators in Chicago were short good lines,
and that, as soon as the weather moderated,
they would endeavor to put Chicago May to
where they could cover proftably. The mar
ket finally met with sufficient pressure to put
May down to 74Ac.
Liverpool closed 1sd higher. .--.l.
The late weather prediction was for general
snow durries over the west and southwest.
Primary receipts were $685. 900 blu, against
$4,000 blu last year. and shipments 147, 900 blu,
against 22S,000 bu. Wheat and -four clear
ances showed $685. 900 bu Receipts in the local
market were 1877 cars, compared with go last
year, while Duluth had So, against IS.
Broomhall cabled that general dullness and
lack of outside demand caused inactive
opening in Liverpool with prices 7Sd lower.
1t was. he reported, scalp1ng market dur
ing the entire morning session. A further
slight decline Of I'D occurred towards noon.
Corn opened I'd lower on realizing and later
the nearby option lost sd further. A private
cable from Argentine states that some rain
has fallen, but it was not sufficient to meet
requirements. F..
At the close the market turned weaker
again and Minneapolis May sold down to
741sc. Closing prices were: Minneapolis May,
74Ac; July, 75ssc; February, 7S7ac. Chi
cago May, closed at -77Ac.
The cash market showed no special change.
No. northern was again salable at May
price and No. at about lie under. With
receipts very light and good demand, there
was no milling wheat left on sale after the
first round. All grades moved satisfactorily.
No. wheat sold from Tx to 72asc and re-
1ected and no grade from 6S to Tic for good
lots.

"sCAvENGER TAX, PUBLICATION
Payment Contested at Pierre-Appeal
From County Board.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., Feb. 5.-The first round
of battle has been fought to decide the
legality of the action of the board of
county commissioners in allowing a war
rant for the second publication of the
scavenger tax list. The action came I'D in
the way of an application for mandamus
order to compel the county auditor to sign
warrant allowed by the board OF com-
missioners for that purpose but which he
refused to sign because he held that it
was not a legal claim. Before the hear
ing had been finished, an appeal from the
action Of the board ID allowing the war
rant had been perfected, and the court re-
fused to grant the order asked for until
the case could be heard on ita merits On
the. appeal.
