and struck a fellow workman IN the
left eye. The man afterward averred
that his eve was blinded by the blow,
although n careful examination failed
20 reveal any injury. there being not a
scratch visible.
He brought a suit I'm the courts for
compensation for the loss OF half OF
his eycsight. and refused all offers OF
compromise. Under the law the owner
OF the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident OF
this kind.
The day OF the trial arrived. and in
open court an eminent oculist. retained
by the defense. examined the alleged
injured member and gave II as his
opinion that it was as good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest OF
his inability TO see with his left eye
the oculist proved him a perjurer and
satisfied the court and jury OF the fal-
sity Of his claim. He did IL simply by
knowing that the colors green and red
combined make black.
He prepared n black card. or which
n few words were written in green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered TO put

being red. and the one for the left eye
consisting Of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed TO him, and he was
ordered TO read the writing on IL

This he did without hesitation. and
the cheat was at once exposed. Owing
TO the effect which the colored glass
must have had upon the green writing
the sound right eye fitted with the rcd

card. while the left eye. which he pre-

First Thermometer.

The first thermometer was made IL
1621 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted OF
n tube filed with air. closed at its up
per end and dipping at its other ex.
tremity, which was open, in n bottle Of
nitric acid diluted with water. As the
temperature rose or fell the air in the
tube increased or grew less in volume
and consequently the liquid descended
or rose. This instrument Is now known
as an air thermometer, but rs its meas.
urements were based on no fixed prln-
ciple it was of little use.

future guidance. A specific in
stance was taken, where an APP
plication had been made for a
permit to construct a stock
dam; the question was referred
to the attorney generals office
and the following reply,in part,
was made:
III understand that the use of
the water desired is domestic,
that is particularly for the use
of cattle, ETC., and not to be
used for irrigation or power
purposes. If such is the pur-
pose it would seem that it would
not becontrolled by the Irriga-
ton Act and that a settler would
have a right to build the same
and secure a water hole for
such purpose without being
compelled to get a permit un-
der the irrigation act. I"
Under this ruling the con-
struction of a stock dam does
not conflict with the Irrigation
Code and a permit therefor is
not necessary.

COWBOYS DON'T KILL
INDIANS
General Denial is Made
of the Sensation.

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 26.-Sev
eral sensationalists are attempt
ing to show that the cattle rust
ling element of fthe western part
of the state is engaged in kill
ing railroad graders as a mark
Of their disapproval of the in
yasion of their domain by this
evidence of progress, which is
supposed to interfere with their
mode of living. While the rail
road may cut down the rustling
sphere, the people who are at
tempting to show such drastic
method of disapproval on the
part Of the rustlers, imagine
what does not exist. Up to the
present the railroad extensions
west have resulted in but three
killings, and two Of these, it was
in rows among the graders
themselves, and in the other
where a ranchman was killed
by grader IN a drunken row.
In neither case had cattle rust
ling the remotest connection
with the trouble. AS a matter
Of fact there are likely to be
more killing before the work is
completed, for the reason that
such work always attracts cer-
tain per cent of ruffians, who
care practically nothing for their
own lives, nor that Of any one
else, and when such men gather
killings are certain to follow.
The cattle rustler may not like
the railway extension, but as a
rule they are a retiring class
Of citizens, who do not desire to
call particular attention to
themselves by attempts at kill
ing those engaged in railroad
work and getting into the lime
lightof publicity. They prefer
to remain as much in obscurity
as possible.-Pioneer-Times.

Stock Dams.

Since the Inauguration of the
present Irrigation Code many
inquiries have come to the state
engineers Office concerning the
application Of the irrigation law
OF 1905 to the construction of
dams across dry channels for
collecting storm water for do
mestic use.
In most instances such dams
are built for watering live stock
and for domestic use; they are
not Of sufficient capacity for ir-
rigation purposes and are not
intended therefor. In such
cases rigid Interpretation OF
the irrigation law, requiring the
preparatie n Of maps and plans
and the issuance Of a permit fol
each such construction would
be unnecessary.
In view Of the above the
State Engineer, before taking
action in any case Of this kind
submitted the matter to the at
torney general with the reques
that his opinion be given TO
