Few PACING RECORD.
Dan Patch Lowers The Worlds
Pacing Record.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. % "A mile in
1861 was made by Dan Patch today st
the Memphis Trotting Associations
track in trial against time. The PAGER
clipped three fourths OF second from
the worlds record of 81 held by Prince
Alert, and lowered his own record by
pa seconds. The mile was paced with
out a wind shield and at the finish Dan
Patch seemed fresh and vigorous.
The demonstration that greeted the
new worlds pacing champion as he
flashed under the wire was memorable
one. Horse owners who stood abont
the track before the starters stand had
caught the time with their own watches
and before the official time flashed out
across the track they set mp a shout, and
threw hats and caps high into the al.
The shout was caught up by the people
in the grand stand, the space before it
and on the clubhouse grounds and the
name of the rev pacing idol was pro-
claimed in shouts of applause that reach
ed their climax as Driver McHenry
pulled up before the Judges stand and
doffed his hat IN acknowledgment of the
race.
The trial was made with two runners
TO set the pace, the sulky preceding the
PAGER carving a canvas strip between
the wheels. The quarter was reached
in 20 seconds, the half in 5S and the
threequarter pole in 1:27]4. As the
horses swung into the stretch, Dan Patch
was pushing the forward runner SO close
Iy that scarcely hands breath inter
vened between his nose and the back OF
the driver on the forward sulkY.

ENTRY THAT is VALID,
Intent to Sell after Making Proof
Is no: Unla wful.

Hornbrook, CAL, Oct 22.-When the
publication of an alleged new interpre-
tation by the United States Land Office
of portions of the timber and stone act
was first made by the newspapers there
was considerable excitement and no
little CONSERVATION among the large
number of people IN this section who
are awaiting patents to timber claims as
we'll as those who have made entries
and not yet proved up.
In the latter class was Chas. W.
Strother, a young attorney of Yreka,
who concluded to ascertain beyond
question his status before making final
proof, and to this end he communicated I'd
with the authorities direct. He stated
plainly that he had no intention of liv-
ing on the land or individually making
any personal use of the timber thereon,
but that the entry was made by him for
his own use and benefit. in the sense
that he intended to hold the same until
he could sell to advantage in the future.
He stated that he desired to know
whether there was a prospect of his pat
ent being held up by the department
and his money forfeited in case he
should proceed to prove up. The fol-
lowing reply should effectually dispel
all doubts concerning the rights of in
individuals in the premises:
Washington, D. C.-Mr. Charles w.
Strother, Lawyer, Yreka- Dear Sir:
Referring to your letter of 29th ut.,
relative to the suspension of your tim.
ber and stone entry, you are advised
that if you made a satisfactory show.
ing that your entry was made for your
own use and benefit and there is moth.
ing more to impeach your good faith
than the mere fact that you made the
entry for investment with intent to sell
the land at some future Indefinite time
and in this manner realize a profit on
the money invested, this office holds
that such an entry is not made in vio-
patent.

II is more than 5Oyears since the first

the work since 1851 in reticulating the
ocean beds with 100000 miles OF cable
has been a training for the severer
problems of the Pacific, deeper body
Of water with longer spans, than any
previously encountered. All The other
1850 cables. little and big, have afford

As usually happens. the Pacific no
sooner has one cable stretching from
Asia to North American shores than it
becomes possessed Of two Apparent.

HUMAN AND ANIMAL MIND.

The fact may not be fnttering 60 the
human race. but it is nevertheless true,
asrecentscientihcinyestigation as proves,
that there is very little difference be-
tween the minds OF animals and those
of men. Those variations that exist
are those of degree. rather than Of
quality On the whole the investigator
in question thinks that animals GER
lainly have some glimmeriug Of rea-
son. With regard TO The senses Of hear
ing aud sight he has found that some
animals can hear sounds inaudible to
us and can perceive rays Of light that
arc invisible to the human eye Atmos-
pheric Vibrations varying from 33 TO
10000 per second strike the human ear
and produce the sense Of sound. But
certain animals can hear vibrations
more rapid than ihis--thai is, they can
hear higher notes than we can, says
Nature.
In the same way vibrations Of the
ether impinging on the human retina
/ produce the sense Of color, These,

that animals are sensitive to rays be
