great work that is soon to take
place over the entire state.
Through the efforts of u. S. Sem
ator Thomas H. Carter an appro-
priation of $10O, 900 was secured
from the government for this work
which, togather with the amount
set aside by the state will enable
the surveyors to survey nearly
all of the land that still remains
unsurveyed within the borders
of the state. In the southern
part of Custer county, that is south
of the Montana base line, there

best farming land in the county
is included in this strip of unser-
veyed land and when thrown op-

to see many newcomers here

VbSZk0 Afraid
to Risk Record
With Giant Boer

Prof James Atlas, who has arranged
to have Peter Nogert. the South At
rican Boer. and Zbyszko wrestle here
on Wednesday. Jan. II. at Eagles hall,
has received letter from J. III. Her.
man. manager of the husky Pole. stat
ing that it would be losing PROPOSE
ton for his man TO come to this city.
Herman contends that in view of the
many victories of his man and for
fear of having his record blemisheds
there is not enough money obtainable
in this city to warrant bringing him
here. He adds that a mach with
Nogert. who enjoys international fame.
would command thousands in other
cities to Bridgeport's hundreds. Her
man says that he, is willing that
Zbyszko should meet Nogert. but
wants the match transferred to an
other city. where there would be some
thing more than the honor. of winning
to work for.
As the match has been so arranged
seen why Herman is putting up his
present howl. Zbyszko outweighed
Lundin by 60 pounds in their recent
match here. yet the husky Pole was
so afraid of the willy Swede that he
insisted on taking advantage of every
little opportunity. even to violating
the articles Of agreement by appearing
in his bare feet, thus preventing Lun-
din from using any toe-holdS to ad-
vantage. .Zbyszo is making his dol
lars while the sun shines. but the
husky fellow is. only going up against
opponents whom he feels sure of beat
ing by sheer strength. and is afraid to
tackle any of the big guns.

DISLIKES INNOVATIONS.
Hence the Rhino BIindly Attacks Any
thing New to Him.

Hence the Rhino BIindIy Attacks Any
thing New to Him.
Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguish
ed British surgeon, in his book ''Ugan-
da For a Holiday" has a word or two
to say about the rhinoceros.
1.-The rhinoceros is the embodiment
Of blind conservatism" he writes. "Its
hide is impenetrable. its vision is weak.
while it's intellect is weaker. 1t has,
however, two marked qualities-com-
bativeness and sense of smell. 1t is
aroused to its maximum energy by the
presence of anything that is new. This
object need not be thing that is ag-
gressive or inconvenient. Its offensive
ness depends upon the fact that 1t is
unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar
the object is the worse the rhinoceros
acts.
'When a rhinoceros smells man he
will charge him with maniacal VIC
lence, although the man may be mere
ly sitting on a stool reading Milton.
The massive beast will dash at him
like torpedo or a runaway locomo-
tive simply because the smell OF him
is novel. Actuated by this insane hate
Of whatever savors of an innovation,
the rhinoceros has charged an iron wa
ter tank on the outskirts Of camp
and has crumpled it up as blacksmith
would an empty meat tin.
"a conservative rhinoceros with
senile dislike Of anything new once
charged train on the Uganda railway,
but with no more serious results than
the tearing away of the footboard of
carriage. AS regards the rhinoceros in
this case, it appeared surprised that
thing composed, as it had imagined, OF
flesh and blood could be SO hard. 1t
went off with an additional grievance
and an increased swelling of the head"

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac.

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac.
It may safely be said that no one
outside the publishing Office has read
the entire Nautical Almanac from be-
ginning to end, but each figure of the
printed almanac is in the Office ex-
amined twice and read three times.
The total number of figures exceeds
q million; but, great as that number is,
1t is trifing compared with the num-
Der of figures employed in the calcula-
lions, as the almanac figures repre-
sent "bare' results only. The moon,
for instance, requires for its calcu-
iation more than a million and half
of figures, and similarly with other
branches of the work, such as the
sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the
general opinion, practically every fig
ure in the book is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work is calculated have been original
~ constructed from the labOrs Of the
astronomical observer and to a large
extent from the observations Of the
sun, moon and planets made at the
Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele-
scopes and other astronomical appli-
ances are conspicuously absent, as the
work of the staff is purely mathemati-
cal and, not observation-disclosures

Holiday Decorations

Nf1#EE decorations arc the orna3
SdHRH ments Of glass and tinsel
10y which arc used not only to
W" adorn trees, but to lend gay
ETY. to the aspect of dinner
tables and house interiors at Yuletide,
and immense quantities of them are
sold each season
They all come from one place-thc
village of Lausha, in the Thuringian
Mountains, in Germany. That region
is the veritable Toyland-the real
home Of Santa Claus. Vast quantities
of Christmas playthings, mostly of
wood or Papier-mache. are made there
by the peasants, who do the work in
their homes; and rather curious
feature of the industry is the way in
which it is split up and specialized,
one village turning out nothing but
hobby-horses, another producing only
Noah's Arks, and so on.
Thus it comes about that the popu-l
lation of Lausha devotes its attention
p-ainly to the production of ornaments
for Christmas trees-though it also
manufactures enormous numbers of
glass eyes. This little town turns out
not only great numbers of such eyes
or human beings, but also glass eyes
Tor taxidermists' use, for dolls, and
for toy animals. It is the worlds prin.
,eipal center for this industry.
The chief object sought in the max.
ing of tree ornaments, OF course, is
glitter. Most of them are of glass,
blown into fantastic and often beauti.
sul shapes-various pigments and
metals being employed to lend addt
tional brilliancy.
The people of Lausha are all glass,
blowers. They do the work in their
homes, but the rough glass Is provided
by big dealers who contract for the
purchase of the wares thus produced
