Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There Is one curious fact which net everybody notices about the common
 anger-long. green caterpilars of oGr larger moths Their hearts, instead ef being in front, are at the back of the body and extend along the entire length of the animal. One can se" the heart distinctly through the thin skin and can watch Its slow beat, which starts at the tail and moves forward to the head Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncom- mon iii the simpler creatures. The earthwor!n has one. and so have most worms, caterpillars and other era ling things Hearts In the middle of the back also are quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to hc the natural place. Many animals the lob ster for example. and tue craytish and the crab, wtich have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds, neYe"- theless have them placed just undc, the shell Tn what, in ourselves. would be the small of inc back.

It Is curious to see how new word extends our vocabulary For Instance. the discovery of photography has led to 234 words being added to the lan- guage Dr. Murray fixes March 14, 1889, as the birthday of the word "pho- tography." It was on that day that Sir John Herschel used 1t in paper which he read before the Royal so- cIety.

two Mormons. who arrived here yes
terday to preach Mormonism on the
street, were legged" last night, and
drenched with water
from a fire hose. The water was
not turned on the preachers until
the eggs, a band of music and the
preaching of the Salvation Army
corps failed to break up the meet
ing. An egg was broken on the head
of one of the MormOns while he was
praying. The water caused the Nor
mons to take to their heels One of
them made a short address in front
Of the Grant hotel this morning. He
said that no further effort would be
made to conduct services in Rolla,
and that the band would leave here.

The engineers and attaches of the
surveying party at work between
Adrian and Connell say they do not
know in what interest they are max
ing the surveys. 1t is known that
the survey has no connection with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, as
some of the engineers who left the
service of that company to go with
the Hill lines are in the party.
1t is talked in railroad circles that
the move of the Hill lines in getting
into the territory which will be trav-
ersed by the new cutoff is pursuant
to general plan of competing with
the Milwaukee. 1t is known that
the Milwaukee has planned a num-
ber of branches to serve as feeders
to the main line. One of these is
projected into Douglas county AMI
another is to be constructed from
Maiden, in Whitman county, to Spo-
kane.

HILL PLANS
ANOTHER ROAD
SURVEYS WORKING SOUTH FROM
ADRIAN To THE MILWAUKEE
LINE.
Spokesman-RevieW

The Sunday spokesman-Review
says:
To cross the Chicago, Milwaukee,
& St. Paul line and cut Seattle and
Tacoma out as wheat shipping points
for the central Washington wheat
fields, are declared to be objects and
results of the plan of James J. Hill to
build another railroad extension in
eastern Washington.
1t is asserted by people visiting
Spokane from Adams county, and no.
denied by local Northern Pacific Off
cials, that party of surveyors is at
work locating line from Adrian,
Douglas county, the terminus of the
Washington Central branch of the
Northern Pacific, to a connection
with the Spokane, Portland & Seat
tie, either at a point on the Snake
river, in Franklin county, or at Pas
co. The line of survey crosses the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul at
Othello, the division point on the
Milwaukee extension in Adams coun-
ty. The surveyors have staked out
the line from Connell, through 9th
clio and northwesterly to near Moses
lake, where they now have their
camp. Some locating work has been
done out of Adrian, the stakes fol-
lowing line to the west OF Moses
lake, and the direction taken from
Othello to the lake is said to indi-
cate that the surveys will meet on
the west shore.
Local representative of the Hill
,.,&c =
Of the presen. move, say that the
line from Adrian to a connection
with the Northern Pacific in the
southern counties has long been
considered. It's construction, in con-
nection with the Spokane. Portland
& Seattle, will give a haul to tide
water on nearly a water grade, elimi-
mating the costly haul of wheat
across the Cascades by the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railways.
1t will, at the same time, afford
an outlet for the wheat raised along
the line of the Great Northern, the
principal concentration point of which
is now Ephrata, in Douglas county.
This wheat, instead of going over
the Great Northern and across the
Cascades to Seattle will go east to
Adrian, AMI from there to Portland
over the new cut-oF and Spokane,
Portland & Seattle.
The line from Adrian, whether
built 10 Pasco or to the Snake river,
will be about 100 miles long. 1t is
believed that the route by Connell
will be chosen, as that is the junction
of the o. r. & N, Northern Pacific
and North Coast railways. Getting
directly in the field of the o. r. & N.
and North Coast would place the new
extension of the Hill lines in the
most desirable strategic position as a
competitor.
