made for that purpose, They have
authority to employ engineers, experts,
clerks, stenographers, etc, and an
appropriation of $4,000 annually is
made to defray the expenses of the
commission.
In addition to the state highway
commission, the law provides for a
county highway commissioner. The
county board must at its next Novem
Der session elect a competent man for
this Office at salary of not less than
5000 per year. Any county which fails
to elect a county highway commissioner
cannot receive any share of the state
funds The county board may, how
ever, dispense with the county highway
commissioner by adopting a resolution
requesting the state commission to take
charge of the work in the county but
must pay the expense incurred by the
commission in this work.
The county highway commissioner
works under the direction of the state
commission and has charge of all high
ways built or improved by state and
county aid.
The law provides for system of
prospective State Highways That
is highways. for the improvement of
which state and county aid may be
granted and which may eventually be-
come state highways" No other
highway is affected by the law.
At the next November session of the
county board provision for system of
prospective state highways must be
made. This system must at first con-
tain not to exceed fifteen per cent of the
road mileage of the county and must
include the main travelled highways
leading into each town in the county.
1t must begin at the corporate limits of
the county seat and of the various mar
ket towns and railroad stations of the
county. 1t must not be understood
that all the highways belonging to the
system are to be improved at once. 1t
simply means that the highways with
in this system are the only ones, for the
Improvement of which, state and county
aid may be granted and that all peti-
tons for state and county aid must be

1.-THE splendid character of the

W. B. Patten, proprietor of the
Royal Cafe.
II have travelled in 80 states, but
like Idaho the best of them all

here. The climate is healthy, the
summers are nice and the winters

Birds and Fishes and Glass.

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" of a blackbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot continuously. Such an Incl
dent is not uncommon. Birds have
been known to fight for hours at n
time, day after day. with their own
image reflected in a pane or glass,
pecking and luttering against the pane
and quite ~exhausting themselves In
their fury to demoiish the supposed
rival. 1t is another instance of how
the arts of our civilization corrupt
and confuse the birds. 1t is the same
with fishes. Darwin tells a story OF a
pike in an aquarium separated by
plate glass from fish which were its
proper food. In trying to get at the
fish the pike would often dash with
such violence against the glass as to
be completely stunned. 1t did this
for more than three months before 1t
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fish, but would
devour others freshly introduced. 1t
did not at all understand the situa-
ton, but associated the punishment
1t had received not with the glass, but
with a particular kind of fish.

diamonds From SUGAR.

It can be stated with perfect truth
that a lump OF sugar may be turned
into diamonds. Not all the substance
OF the sugar. OF course. will enter into
the composition OF the gem. but only
the carbon that IL contains. Sugar
consists OF carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen. The carbon can be
easily separated out. and in certain ex-
periments for the production Of dia-
monds this sugar carbon has been en-
ployed. The diamonds so produced
were, OF course, very small and des-
titute OF commercial value, but still
they r real diamonds, and the
chemical result achieved would be no
greater intrinsically IL they were as
large as the Kohinoor. The hope has
often been held out that an improve
ment In the process Of manufacturing
diamonds may be effected whereby
the necessity OF dissolving the carbon
in molten iron may be dispensed with,
and the required combination of great
pressure with great heat may be
brought about by some such opera
ton rs squeezing the carbon between
red hot metal plates
