One week ago last Monday H. Hawgood, chief of the party, had reached to a point below Urowulie's ferry, and was progress ing rapidly in the location. T. A. Clark, chiet of the locating engineers of the west, under Blickenstaff, chief at Omaha, is now here and started a party this week under R. J. Moscrit chief of the party, to locate from this point hp Snake river for the purpose of meeting the party coming from above. It is the full intention to di vert the course of the Oregon Short Line down on the east side of Snake river to Lewiston. Mr. J. Edwards is the transit man and Mr. Matthews is the levellet of the rarty going from Lewiston up. Another party will soon be here for the company, for other purposes."- Lewiston Teller Jan. 18. On Christmas day the iron was laid on the Oregon Short T ine to a point 11 miles west of Pocalello, and to within 33 miles of Wood River Junction. Track was being laid by 200 men at the rate of one to one and one quarter miles rer day. Jne gradinz was completed to Wood River Junction except three or four days' work. Wood River Junction ia 125 miles from Bo-se, and grading ia going on along the entire distance. The company gives lree transporta tion from all points on their lines west or the Missouri river to per sons who propose to work on the road. Walla Walla' Union. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. Written eiprewlr for the Gazette bj a celebrated E&sUth Scientist. The concealment of some animals ia easily effected on account of the adaptation of their colors to those of surrounding objects in their na tive wilds. This adaptation is the mimicry of animals, and seems to be a wise- provision of nature for the protection of some of her creatures. In the course of "a lesson in com parative loology," Dr. II. W. Mitch-1 ml says that the giraffe has, perhaps the most astonishing mimicry of any animal. Its great size, which en ables it to feed upon lofty tree boughs in its native African forests, makes it also a most conspicuous object to its enemies, of which the most dreaded a.-e the lion and man Such is its mimicry, however, that the most practised eye has failed to distinguish the giraffe from one of the dead and blasted trees which abound in the hauuts of this animal. Reliable evidence assures us that lions have been known to gaze long and earnestly at a motionless giraffe, and, being unable to decide that it was not a tree, to turn and skulk away. ' Messrs. Pasteur, Chamberland Roux and Thuillier have been inves tigating rabies. They find that all forms of it come from the same virus. Death after inoculation with rabid saliva may be either from an organism existing in the saliva,. from formation of much pus, or from rabies. The investigators have now four dogs which cannot take rabies. Whether this is because the animals have had a mild form of it and re covered or because they are. natur ally refractory to the disease is no yet known. A bone of contention is still found IB sun-spots aud the question of their influence upon our weather. It has been asserted that any effect produced upon our planet by an in crease in the activity of the sun must extend over the wholej world and be felt in the same way in all places. To this conclusion Mr. J. A. Westwood Oliver, of Glasgow, replies that the only way in which the sun can affect the meteorological conditions of our globe is by inten sifying phenomena, and so render ing the unlike conditions in differ ent parts of the world more widely aivergent tnan ever, weather re cords prove, to Mr. Oliver's satis faction, these five facts, viz: that in certain localities of the earths sur face a connection between the stale of solar activity and the weather (at least as regards temperature, rain fall and atmospheric disturbance) is apparent; that in other localities a a connection is apparent, but of a precisely opposite character that in yet other localities no connection of any kind is traceable, which may be due to local circumstances, npon which the weather often largely de pends; that the connection is roost obvious in tropical or sub-tropical latitudes; and that, as a consequence f the foregoing, combined records frem ill parts of the globe fail to ex hibit the' eonneetion, the two op posite effects cancelling each other. Archaeological researches have shown that the ancient Egyptians were familiar with dental processes which are commonly regarded as modern innovations. In tombs of this people Belzone and others have found artificial teeth of ivory or wood some of them fastened upon gold plates. Teeth of mummies filled with gold have also been found, it is sta ted. Observations of the solar corona the bright halo which encircles the sun and extends from it to a consid erable distance in snaee have loner been confined to the rare and brief intervals when the sun itself is to tally eclipsed. It is now announced. however, by Wm. Huggins, F. R. S., that the corona has been successfully photographed by him in th-s full glare of the uneclipsed sun. Some twenty plates have thus far been obtained. With such a means of observation within our reach as Mr. Huggins has thus developed, it be comes possible to keep a daily record of the appearance of the corona and to note its chancres as they occur. Mr. E. J. Stone expresses confi dence that the British contact ob servations of the transit of venus were so successful tbat they will re duce the possible error in our esti mate of the sun's distance to 300,000 miles or less. From experiments by Herr J. Moritz, it appears that a temperature of from ten to twenty degrees below zero may be readily produced by mixing equal quantities of alcohol and snow. The absence of any salt or acid it! this freezing mixture may sometimes be a point in its favor. Regular observations of the rain fall in Great Britain are made by1 more than 2,000 persons, the result beinuj forwarded to Mr. G. J. Sym- ons, the eminent meteorologist. A remarkable shooting star was observed on the morninsr of Nov ivm trom a steamer in the ttea sea. It quickly disappeared like ordinary meteors, but left a bright train, some eifrht or ten decrees Ion;; and alf TEMPERANCE COLUMN. Edited bv the Ladles of the W. C. T.

'The trafic in eggs in this country is estimated by competent authorities to equal $150,000,000 per annum. The apple crop of the United States, according to the census report of 1880, in that year was worth SllS, 000,000. An experienced dairyman says that he has by experiment demonstrated that steamed food for milch cows is 25 per cent better than dry food. The relish of food by livestock has much to do with fattening. Only when it is thoroughly relished is it thoroughly digested, and fattening depends on good digestion. The annual harley crop of the United States has gradually increas ed during the past twelve, years from 1871 to 1882, inclusive from 27,7i 8,500 bushels, in 1871 to 83, 000,000 bushels (estimated), in 1882. Farmers who are raising bogs should plant a 'few acres to arti chokes. When once seaded they need no re planting, and will make the most feed for the least monev of any crop that is raised. All who have tried it speak in highest terms of the artichoke. The Minneapolis Tribune says that goats' are the best land cleaners known. It mentions that a herd of 1,600 entirely cleared a piece of brush land, consisting of 600 acres in three years. So complete was the work that not a vestige of undergrowth was left. In 1872 the Elgin (111.) Board of Trade for the sale of butter and cheese was organized. The sales for that year reached $87,000 only. Last year the sales amounted to $2,219, 600. In one day in 1882, December 4, the saies reached $157,775. A Fi ench scientist recently made some experiments which go to show mat most classes or insects, m pro portion to their size, are from fifteen to forty times as strong as a horse. Those who doubt this can have their doubts removed by testing the mat ter, with a bee, or a flsa even. One of the results of the late Com. missioner Le Due's experiment in tea raising at the South, has been the adoption of the tea plant in some localities as a hedge plant, for which it is admirably adapted when soil and climate are congenial to its growth. It grows, low, bushy and wellbranched, with dark, glossy, evergreen leaves, and in autumn is decorated with large, pure white flowers. A PROHIBITION "STRAW." A centleman on his way home from the National Prohibition Con vent ion. at. Chicago, canvassed a , j train on the Illinois Central road. The gentlemen voted nineteen for prohibition and sixteen against; la dies.twenty five forand none against. On the Chicago and Alton road he again canvassed, with result: Gen tlemen, forty-three tor, and twenty six against; ladies, twenty-five for and four against. In the smoking ears of the two trains there were eighteen for, and twenty against. The result shows that hereafter "tit will be safest to allow the women to do the voting, and the men partieu larly the smokers to stay at home. wash the dishes and rock the cradle T03ACC0. Of course every callow schoolboy straining at the end of a cigarette knows more about tobacco than the whole medical faculty. But possibly an excentional smoker may be found t who will "read ponder and digest the reason given by the surgeon gen eral of the United Stales Army fo the prohibition of tobacco in the Na tional Military andNaval Academies. The gentleman declares: "Beyond all other things, the future health and usefulness of the lads education at the military school require the abso lute interdiction of tobaco." The most eminent authorities testify to its evil effects on the digestive organ the nervous system, the voice and the eyesight. A special form of irritabi'. itv of the heart is named "tobacco heart. "In the Ecole Polylechnique in France, the nonsmokers take tin hfiksrank. Even down South, rtr-u ehewers' paradise, the best schoo forbid the use of tobaco.

Carpenter, of England, the subject of its singular effect in rendering its de votees insensible to the discomfort of others is sharply put. There is no doubt that next to dram drinking and licentious habits, the useol tobac co is one of the most dangerous of the national foes to the true develop ment of American manhood a habit to be discouraged by every teacher of youth. Journal of Education. One Secret. Don't live a singh hour of your life without doing exactly what is to be done in it, and going straight through it from beginning to end. Work, play, study, whatever it is, take hold at once and finish it up square and cleanly; then do the next thing without letting any moments drop between. It is wonderful to see how many hours those prompt people contrive to make in a day; it is as it they picked up the moments that the dawdlers lost. And if ycu find.yon have so many things press ing you that you hardly know how to begin, let me tell you a secret: Take hold of the first one that comes to hand, and yon will find the rest afll into file and follow after -like a company of well drilled soldiers; and though work may be hard to meet when it charges in a squad, it is easily vanquished if yon'can bring it into line, x ou may have seen the anec dote of the tnan who was asked how he "accomplished so much in his life."
