Here's an Ancient Horn.

rams horn that was imbedded in
tree 1873 years ago is a curiosity
that Jason Elder, a forester ranger
living at Paisley, Oregon, has discov-
cred, says the Philadelphia Record.
While rambling in the woods in 1888
Elder came across yellow pine tree in
the base Of which was imbedded the
horn OF a mountain sheep. He did not
then have time to make a thorough in
vestigation, but since he became a
forest ranger he had occasion to cut
down the tree. He took a section Of
the trunk containing the horn to Lake
view.
The horn was little to one side Of
the center Of the tree. 1t was not
curled as are the horns of mountain
sheep nowadays, but was almost
straight. Counting the rings of growth,
the tree was shown to be 213 years old.
Outside Of the horn were 1873 rings, in
dicating the number of years that had
elapsed since the mountain sheep was
caught and held fast by the yellow
pine. The horn was soaked with pitch.
1t is ten inches in diameter at the base
and thirty inches long.

The Fahrenheit thermometer Is the
one in general use in this country, ex-
cept among some of the scientists, who
use the Centigrade. 1t would be well
for all the boys and girls to know
wherein the difference between them
consists. In the Centigrade, the space
between the freezing point and the
boiling point is divided into 100 de-
grees, while in the Fahrenheit it is
divided into 1870 degrees. A degree of
the Centigrade, therefore, is higher
than degree Fahrenheit in the pro-
portion Of 8 to 8, but as zero in the
Centigrade is at the freezing point and
in the Fahrenheit at 80 degrees above
that, this must be considered in COM
pairing them. To express 10 degrees
Centigrade in the Fahrenheit scale,
multiply 10 by 9 and divide by 5, which
will give 49,; then add the 80 degrees
not reckoned in Centigrade, and you
will have so, which is the exact equiv
alent Of 10 Centigrade.

TREE-DESTROYING RIVER.

Western Stream that Chews Up the
Growth Along tho Banks.
The ella river enters the Colorado
just west Of Yuma, and we crossed its
angry waters through a maze of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities Of driftwood were whirling
in a mad race, says a writer in Har-
per's Magazine Escaping the worst OF
the turmoil, we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing with half our journey accom-.
plished.
At most places along shore the river
had reached the line of older growths
and was leveling the larger trees by
hundreds wherever a bend of the river
directed the force of the current against
the far shore. Trees ten inches in diam
eter and twenty to thirty feet high were
constantly topping into the Unsuitable
river.
The fall Of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
Of 1t was distinct SILVER that ran

marked in the upper branches: a mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as If bowling to its
enemy. An instant's pause and 1t
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reached to the loosened
and inshore roots.
Tree after tree Of this large growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current. Slowly at first 1t would
roll over and over, tangling its branches
into great skeleton Wheel rolling fast
er and faster as the branches became
more impacted and presented fewer
projecting points to catch and hold q
moment in the shallower reaches.
Eventually the branches would be worn
off In such progress. leaving only the
tougher roots to retard 1t. Then the de
nuded tree would give up the struggle
and whirling into the line of least re-
sistance, would float head on down
stream until caught by the spreading
roots In some shallow.

Lizard Head ON Mount Wilson Has
Dehed Mountain Climbers.
The mountains and peaks of the San
Juan in southwestern Colorado pre-
sent a different aspect from any of the
northern Rockies, says the New York
Post.
They are grander, more precipitous,
with sharper pinnacles and more Jag
ged in outline. In height, Mounts
Massive, Ebert and Blanca slightly
outrank those of the San Juan, but
nowhere else can be found whole
groups of mountains rearing their
heads to and above $4,000 feet.
Mount Wilson-14,2 $50 feet-the dom
inant peak, is one of the most massive
in the entire Rocky mountain range.
Just east of this mountain is the re-
markable trachyte obelisk called Liz
ard Head" The vivid imagination or
an early pioneer who had been see
ing things" is said to be responsible for
the name.
The summit is 14,16O feet above the

nacle rises 300 feet with a diameter
at the foot of only about GO feet, grad
ually tapering to less than half that

WOMEN IN OFFICIAL LIFE,

Results Of Elections in Bohemia and
Norway-Swedish POlicewomen.
The progress Of women in official
life in Europe is slow, but it cannot be
doubted that progress is being made.
Within the last few weeks women ap-
peared for the first time as candidates
for election to the Bohemian Diet. It
had been demonstrated as logical
proposition that if they fulfilled the
other requirements their sex was no
bar to their election.
So far their candidacy stands merely
as a demonstration. Two women re-
ceived votes of some Importance One,
Marie Jumore, who ran in the district
of Hopenmouth, had IA votes, while
the man who won had 592. In Prague
the social democrats made a woman,
Miss Macheva, their candidate. She
polled about 20 per cent Of the total
vote.
The woman suffragists Of Norway
were disappointed at the outcome Of
the local election in Christiana. In all
the other parts of the country they
elected important delegations to the
commercial councils. In the capital
only five women were chosen in a total
Of eighty-four city councillors. There
Is an active agitation going on all over
the country to bring the wonderland
men-voters of Christiana to a differ
emit frame of mind.
OF advances made where the suffrage
was not involved, the appointment OF
three women policemen in Stockholm
is an instance. The authorities have
determined to experiment with them
They are to have salaries of 1,5OC
kronen, or about $500 year, to begin
with.
England also has just named her
first woman school physician. She is
Miss Sophy B. Jackson, NJ. D., and she
has been appointed in the borough Of

Purchased Territory,

Few persons, perhaps, whether old
or young, could tell offhand how much
territory the United States government
has purchased. In the old times, when
ambitious, grasping rulers wanted ad.
joining territory they generally got 1t
by force of arms. Nowadays it is
bought and paid for; so, at least, things
are done here. Following Is list of
our purchases:
