 When we buy Japan tea in these days we are more than probably buying the output of corporation. But qf q cor poration with difference. As its organ ization is described In the news columns. the tea corporation of Japan has more than 100000 members. It insists on tea being up to certain standard. and its inspectors. travelling from plantation to plantation. reject the leaves that do not come up to the mark. When Standard oil sends it's inspectors to empty into the sewers such refiners' output as barely ''scratches through" tho iHw-required tests.

 British. records show that one person in every 5S6 was insane in iS59 and that the average has steadily risen until now one person in every 299 Is mentally unsound. Prof. H. W. White finds numerous causes for this alarming increase of lunacy. An important one is the lessening of the in- fusion of fresh blood into the race, im- migrants being fewer than formerly, and the foreigners who do arrive arc of less hardy stock than formerly. beinp mostly town dwellers of poor physique Late marriages and marriages of weak and neurotic persons have their effect. Other leading causes are the increased use of alcohol. the survival of weaklings that once would have died in infancy, the in- crease of town dwelling, unnatural ex- citements over-education, late hours, bad ly selected and badly cooked food and overcrowding.

 The theory of evolution Is itself under going evolution. It was Darwln's view that species result from slow variations through long periods of time, but Hugo de Vries, Dutch naturalist. has proven that new species may develop suddenly. almost explosively. With many failures, he has succeeded in observing the phe- nomenon in the onagre biennial. This plant was studied; in the botanical garden of Amsterdam from 1886 to 1900, and it yielded one new species in 1887. two in lSsS while in l90o not less than 800 individuals Of seven new species were produced in 50.000 plants from seeds. We may well suppose that variations in plants and an imals have been both sudden and gradual, evolution being a very complex process.
 
 Among the creatures that have passed as sea serpents Is probably the Regalicus, or ribbon fish. This is deep-sea form with rjbbon-like body. long and oblong head and a series of red dorsal spines that rise from the head like mane and give 1t a very singular appearance. In- dividuais have been reported from vari- ous places on the European coast, and from South Africa, Hindostan and New Zealand.

IS
NOW CLOSED.
wool MARKET ENDED OFFICIAL
. " LAST SATURDAY..
FEW SALES STILL MAKING
Season Has Been Good for Sellers
and Prices Better Than
Last Year.

Officially the local wool market
closed last Saturday, although some
sales were made today and probably
others will be recorded during the
balance of this week, for some OF the
buyers are still here, closing up their
affairs and will continue to make bids
on any lots that may be offered.
AS predicted the seasons receipts
will be Short of what they were last
year, but not to SO great an extent as
was anticipated. The shortage is
due to several causes, principal
among which is the establishment OF
the Burlington's warehouse at Cody.
Another cause is the removal OF large
flocks from this county into Custer
and Dawson, and clips that in former
years were sold here found markets at
Miles City and Glendiye. Between
the two causes given something like
1900, 900 to 2. 500, 900 pounds of wool
that under or linary conditions Would
have been sold here was disposed of
elsewhere.
While there were some complaints
from sellers at the prices, and there
are every season, the market, on the
whole, was satisfactory and the prices
paid ranged considerably in excess OF
last years. Great Falls records prices
ranging from one-half to n cent
better than those paid here, but that
is the case every year, as the woods
of the northern part of the state
are conceded to be more desirable on
account of better ranges. They
weigh less, being freer from dirt, and
consequently are worth more.
Up to noon today the total sales
have been about 9,5OO,OO pounds.
The lowest price for the season
has been II cents and the highest
II. There is a story atloat that a
clip brought 17A cents, at private
sale, but this is disputed and some
doubt exists as to whether thatngure
was actually paid.
Since last report the following sales
have been made:
Friday.
J.. F. Ashley, $1,000 pounds; to
jeremiah Williams & Co.; 1875 cents
C. w. McLane, $4,000 pounds, dip
