SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM
Eminent Authorities Have Gone on
Record, Though, 1t Has Been
Subject Of Dispute.

Arlstotle's history of animals de-
clares that horses, oxen, sheep, goats,
dogs and all viviparous quadrupeds
dream. PIiny, in his natural history
specifies the same animals. Burton
describes the dreams of animals. Mac
nish calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear in their sleep,
and affirms that cows and sheep: es-
peciafly' at the. period OF rearing their
young, dream.

says that "dOgs, CATS horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds, as Is stated on good authority
have vivid Dreams and this is shown
by their movements and voice"
George John Romanes, in his "Men-
tai Evolution in Animals" says that
the fact that dogs dream is proven
bal, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius,
and furnishes proof from DR.. Lauder
Lindsay, an eminent authority, that
horses Dream Bechstein holds that
the bullfinch dreams. and gives case
where the dream took on the char
acter of a nightmare, and the bird fell
from it's perch, and four great author
tiles say that dreaming becomes so
vivid as to lead to, somnambuism.

CAN'T ROCK ThIs RoAr

Hook of Holland-An unusual type Of lifeboat, which operates by sucking water up from the ocean and blowing it back again and so obtaining a speed of nine miles an hour has been adopted by the life saving crew which works in stormy waters along the Dutch coast here.
 The boat has a hole in the bottom through which the water is drawn by an intake pipe which leads to a power ful centrifugal pump operated by a horsepower steam engine. The water is then forced backward Into the sea through two outlet pipes opening Tt the bottom of the craft.
 The boat is contEalled by shutting off either wholly or in part, one or the other of these outlet pipes. If one Is shut off it goes to starboard: if the other 1t goes to port. If both were shut off and the water diverted harmIessly over the sides while the suction goes on at the intake, it IS claimed the boat rests almost still in the storrniest of seas. the suction holding it firmly on the water.
 The Dutch lifesavers have found that this craft keeps steadier than any boat propelled with oars or by screws. It is Is5 feet long, and has capacity for from 40 to 100 passengers depending upon the state of the sea. It has been in use for some time and has saved many lives.-From the New York Her ald

CEILINGS OF NEWSPAPERS

Mukden, China-There is a big de- mand in Manchuria for old newspapers, which are used principally for the first layer Of paper on interior walls and ceilings of houses. Chinese houses in Manchuria invariably include no cell ings when completed, the ceilings being Installed by the tenants or owners after the masons and carpenters have com pleted their part of the contract. The ceilings are made of a framework of millet stalks. which are. as a rule, first covered with old newspapers and then with a layer of Chinese white paper. Partitions made in the same manner are also largely used fin both shops and dwelling houses.
 Previous to the war old newspapers from abroad sold at 4Ia cents United States currency a pound, while the pre- vailing price for Chinese and Japanese paper is now 3k cents a pound. The foreign paper was imported in burlap covered bales, strapped with iron bands and with strips of wood placed at inter vals in the interior of the bales to give them stability. each bale weighing about 400 pounds gross.
 Chinese and Japanese paper is shipped in straw covered bales contain ing strips of wood and bound with straw rope. each bale weighing 200 pounds gross. The foreign Chinese and Japanese papers are all inclosed in oil paper wrappings before being baled.- From the New York Herald

Coalition governments have been formed in European countries where party lines are less dis tinct and more shifting, even there such govern ents are seldom formed except in of national emergencies. There was such government in Great Britain after months of bungling in the great
 In this country there was some advice to Presi- Wilson to form coalition cabinet but recall it was participated by any prominent republicans we doubt very much whether any republican leader of note would have accepted place in the cabinet unless there had been a com plete renovation of it.
 There are well defined democratic and republi- can policies going to the very details they directly opposed. A democrat must essentially sup port democratic policies and republican, republi- policies which oil and water. There is compromise between them and compromise is difficult than ever.
 One of the arguments against civil service was that the party in power should be in position choose it's officials from among those friendly That. of only the argument of to- -the-vctors- beongthe spells politicians. The offices the cas- sified civil service minor whose occupants could not if they would. obstruct in slightest the policies of the party in power And if a classified servant should attempt do so or should become perniciously active in opposition policies way would quickly be found to oust him.
 Attempts have been made though to extend the classified list to include offices importance the heads of various services but they have failed they should have done. for such heads could be, to extent. obstructive the policies of the party in power.
 As it is, the patronage of the dominant party extends every office worth holding to greater extent than it should do. It includes many of the minor offices which ought to be in the civil service but are withheld for the delectation of the political hangers-on.
 There is probability that the republican party will be embarrassed by democrat in the cabinet in any official position in which he could prevent the free operation any republican policy

The Full Responsibility

We have seen the suggestion offered that it would be a graceful thing for MT. Harding to offer place in his cabinet to a democrat of standing In an entirely bipartisan spirit we can no reason for such an appointments It certainly not pected by any of the million or more of democrats who voted for Mr. Harding and the appointment would not be appreciated by any democrats except inc appointee himself and some of his admirers.
 So overwhelming was the vote for Mir. Harding that it was evidently intended be the placing of the fuu responsibility for the conduct of the gov ernment upon the republican party. The votes of democrats for MT. Harding be interpreted only as protests against the democratic conduct of the government We have it from very high author itv. the National Republican" that there will not b even that slight evasion of the full responsibility which has thus been imposed upon the republicans.
 There are we believe two precedents for going outside tho party for cabinet members. the most ,otabIe being the appointment of Judge Waller @. Gresham by Mir. cleveland. Mr. Cleveland, how o,sr was at odds with considerable element of his partv and Judge Gresham was in accord with the president

It is now stated in high official cir cles that General MDowell is not to be retired. General Ords friends are much disgusted at the turn things have taken for they protest that Ord should not have been retired unless MDowell was, the latter being the older man of the two It is probable that the power behind the throne is President elect Garfield, who has a son named after General MDowell. Sherman's friend ship for Ord dates back many years, they having served in the same com mand together in early life.

The Salt River Valley

There is nothing wrong with the Salt River Valley; that Is nothing that cannot be quickly righted. The price and market of cotton not quite what expected when we planted it last spring, and there are going to be losers who cannot well afford lose. But in the of the large majority of cotton rasers their losses sist for the most part of disappointment at not ceving what they had expected. They will make it up in future years.
 There is bright side of the picture. There will be 5000 more in cultivation next year. not in cotton cultivation but crops that will add greatly to the wealth of the valley The foundation is firm; we all know where stand; doubtful of the future; know what to do next and beginning to do it.
 Foresighted men have not lost faith in the cotton growing industry. They know that there is bet ter cotton grown in the world than that produced in the Salt River Valley and they know that when market is relieved of the present burdens on it it will rebound.
 It has also taught that everybody cannot farmers they not good farmers at all A lot of men went in for cotton who knew nothing about it or about any other kind of farming. They will stay out of 1t the next time. They have learned that it is business that requires training experience to say nothing of adaptability
