mately impinging on the wall. A por-
ton of the dust will be deposited, there
fore, upon the wall and in the rear
Of the radiator, while the remaining
portion will be thrown back into the
room. The purpose of the radiator
shield illustrated here is to prevent the
accumulation of dust upon the ada
cent wall, prevent discoloration of the
wall, and also to filter the air so that
1t will be thrown back into the room
in purified condition. This is accom-
plished by the hood attached to the ra-
diator. This hood collects the dust,
and when necessary can be cleaned and
the dust removed.

ticularly adapted for such a purpose,
although the idea is too common to
warrant mention. A glance at the pic
ture will show a frame, with rods and
centers, similar to those used to teach
the youngest to count. Each rod car
ries an equal number of counters, and
opposite every rod is the name of some
garment that is likely to be sent to the
laundry. In using the device the coun-
tiers would normally be in the center,
and as various articles are given out
to be washed, counters on the rods in
alignment with the name of the article
are to be moved to the side of the
frame. When the clothes are return
ed, reference to the counter will i'm
mediately show if all are in the bundle
or not. Other uses of the device will
be readily apparent.

Witches in EggsheIIs.

When Napoleon III. was approaching
sovereignty he asked a judicious friend
to observe him carefully for a week
and to point out to him anything that
he did which was not according to the
severest code of the manner of a well
bred man. At the end of the week
there was only one practice which his
friend had noticed. The Emperor after
eating a boiled egg invariably thrust
his spoon through it. Whence this
practice has arisen, at one time not
uncommon, it is difficult to say. Some
date 1t from a very early period and
assume that it was done originally in
order to prevent witches sailing in the
eggShellS.

We have as yet no science Of earth
quakes. That is sufficiently evident
from the comments of learned profess
sors upon the suggestion Of Professor
Milne Of London as to the cause Of
these terrestrial disturbances. Profess
sor Milne says it has been demonstrate
ed that the earth does not Swing true"
on it's axis and his suggestion is that
in Swinging back into true position
on its axis" q tremendous strain is put
upon it's Crust" What is meant by
Swinging" seems to be rotation. The
thing that Professor Milne says has
been demonstrated seems to be that
the axis Of the earth's rotation changes
that there is a true axis Of rotation
from which there is departure and to
which there is return. Indeed, the
words attributed to him can not mean
anything else. Some Of the men Of
science who are quoted agree with the
London professor that this fact Of de-
parture and return has been demon
Strated. But not one Of them agrees
with him in other respects. Some of
them say that we do not know that
the earth has a crust; that we do not
know but that it is solid to the center.
Others say that Professor Mines sug-
gestiOn is new and that it deserves re-
spectful treatment because of It's
source, but are evidently very skep-
teal regarding it. The notable thing
about their comments is the admission,
express or implied, that nobody knows
much about the cause Of earthquakes.
They agree that when there is an
earthquake there is more or less dis
turbance Of the rocks, but they evil
IDENTIFY do not know the cause Of the
disturbance. They have their conject-
ures and hypothesis, but no definite
knowledge. AS for Professor Mines
conjecture it is to be said that it is an
attempt to assign a cause and one af-
fecting the entire planet and therefore
adequate to account for the fact that
disturbances occur at nearly the same
time in places far apart-in places
where the disposition Of the rocks rs
such that they are especially liable to
disturbance. But no reason is given
why a return Of the earth to it's true
axis should cause such disturbances,
while a departure from the true axis
does not. Nor is there a hint Of any
reason why a cause adequate to pro-
duce a change either to or from the
true axis should not act upon all parts
OF the earth alike so as in reality not
to cause any disturbance at all. Scien-
tific observers have accumulated many
facts regarding earthquakes and their
attendant tidal waves and the appar-
emily related increase in volcanic activ-
ity. They have learned much about
the direction and the velocity with
which earthquake shocks are propagat-
Ell from centers in which they seem to
originate. They have learned much
about the regions which within the his
toric period have been peculiarly sub
ject to seismic disturbances But the
plain truth is that no true science has
thus far been developed out of these
facts. There is no certain knowledge
Of causes. Nobody can predict the oc-
currence of an earthquake. All the
knowledge we have thus far gained is
OF no practical value at present. The
waste places will be rebuilt as though
we knew nothing at all on the subject.

SHEEP AND CATTLE MEN.

War Has Extended All over the
West, but Is Nearing Settlement.
The situation has been duplicated so
many, many times that one incident
has become typical, says the Pacific
Weekly A settler who has perhaps q
few acres of bottom land in which to
grow a little alfalfa, runs a few dozen
head Of cattle on the bench range back
from the creek. He may have been
there a long time; he may have just
come into the country. At all events,
he came first. He is q resident of the
county and a taxpayer. He may not
own a foot of that range; but it's exist
ence is what brought him to that part
Of the country and made it worth his
while to maintain that little homestead.
There is enough range along the
creek country for all the settlers at
any rate, they do not quarrel for it,
and if the range runs short near at
hand they drive their cattle back into
the hills. One day the settler takes his
family and drives off to some town,
say, fifty or a hundred miles away,
and is gone for several days. When he
comes back he hardly knows his place.
His few acres of Enclosure, perhaps,
have not been touched, but for miles
around the ground is barren and cut
by tiny hoofs. A band Of several thou
sand sheep passing through the coun-
try has stopped in his neighborhood
for a few days. His cattle and horses
have either gone back into the hills
to find something on which to live or
they are standing about the homestead
with doWncast air.
When that settler turns and looks
his family in the face he declares war.
He curses those vermin" sheep. And
If the destruction of range has not been
so complete that he is driven out of the
country the next sheepherder who APP
pears on the crest Of the hill finds
himself met by a stern-looking man
who says, "Git!" and the sheepherder
"gits." Otherwise he is liable to be
surprised in the middle Of the night,
and left bound in the sagebrush, while
his sheep are shot and scattered to be
the prey Of coyotes.
This struggle between the cattle and
sheep men is an economic problem. 1t
will know no settlement until the
whole country is under fence. 1t began
away over in Texas and in the Indian
Territory, and has worked across the
country, until now it is more active in
central Oregan than anywhere else
For twenty years there has been trou-
bic in Colorado. Bands of thousands
of sheep have been shot down and
driven over precipices in that State.
The same thing has happened in Wyo-
ming but that is largely a fenced coun-
try now. The struggle also existed in
Idaho, but was never so very bad, on
account of the topography of the coun-
try. The sheep men largely control the
district south of the Salmon river,
while to the north of the Salmon River
there are practically no sheep, and the
cattle own the country. The noun
tains between the two sections Of the
State form a natural dead line"
