A Supplementary Decision.

A Boise dispatch, May 16, says:
The supreme court today handed
down an opinion in the celebrated
Marble creek case, denying a motion
made by Attorney General c. d. Nc
Dougall for a modification of Its
former decree, but holding that the
court has never held that the state
did not have right to assign co.
surveyed sections 16 and SO as base
for lieu selections 10 other parts Of
the state.
The opinion serves as a sort Of a
supplemental expression regarding
the courts position on the issue In
yolyed and turns upon the declaration
that the question as to whether the
school lands have been "lost" is one
to be determined by the. federal
government. when the state makes
an application for indemnity.

PASSING Of THE COMET
Halley's Celestial Wanderer Nov
in Evening Sky.

IA Gveuln& OKy.
Halley's comet disappeared in
the eastern dawn May IS. rising an
hour and half before the sun.
On May.i8, the comet made its
transit across the face Of the sun
from west to east. May Io the
comet was visible in strong twi-
light in the northwest, Immediately
after sunset. From May 20 to %,
the comet will be in the northwest
after sunset, and will shine at its
brightest, though tail of great
length is not probable. 1t will at
that time set two hours after the
sun. May FL; three hours, May 23;
four hours. May ~. A fortnight
later the comet will disappear from
human view, rushing away from
the sun in its weary flight of more
than 8, 900, 600, 900 miles.
After July, Halley's comet will
have shrunk to faint telescope
object again, and at the end Of
that month it will be journeying
rapidly southwark at a distance
already more remote from the sun
than the planet Mars. At the end
of 1910, the comet will be inacces.
sible to all telescopes save the
most powerful, as it travels on
ward and outward beyond the
orbit OF Jupiter. With the aid Of
photography the comet will be
followed readily. although excess
lively faint, into the autumn OF
1917, with an unprecedented visi-
biliry Of two full years. During
the apparition of 1885 it was visi
BILE nine and half months, but
photography and the greater
power of modern telescopes have
already broken that record.
By the middle Of the twentieth
century Halley's comet will have
rounded its remotest stake, 3.a76,
900, 900 miles distant, and will
once more have begun the long
journey toward the sun, which il
will not reach again till 1886.

A Day. Of Blood.

In his frail skinboat it is difficult
and dangerous task for the Eskimo
to go out to sea forty to sixty miles
and intercept the Walrus, as he
passes on his migration into the
Arctic.
One carcass will fill his boat, for it
weighs from l 900 to 5000 pounds.
He hunts the walrus when they are
lying asleep on the ice-focs. in herds
from ten to several hundred. Death
must be instantaneous, else with
few rolls Of the peculiar numbering,
humping movement (seen of the
seal when ashore), he makes the few
feet to the water and then is lost, for
he has not sufficient blubber and air
to float. He has much natural Curl
osity, and If not scared by shots will
come up close to your boat or the
ice-aoe on which you are sitting,
squirting, snorting and rolling his
eyes, with his cleaning tusks and
bristled snout he has an uncanny,
goblin-monster-like appearance. A
herd of fifty or sixty Of them will
come up en- masse, raise high out of
the water to stare at you, then snort,
squirt and disappear again, only to
come up on the same spot and
repeat the Vancouver indefinitely.
Taking advantage Of this, the
Eskimos hide behind ice hummocks
and throw harpoon into one, then
snub the tough rawhide line around
an ice cake. He must perlorce come
up to blow and he is then killed with
the rifle. The thick skin and the
mass Of blubber and meat beneath
render him almost invulnerable. -
