Gilpin’s Scheme “They can talk alxmt my uncle as being visionary aud a mild lunatic, all they please, but the day will come, and is not so far off either, when he will lie recognized as a thoroughly seusible, though bold, engineer." So said William Henry Gilpin, of Fneblo, Colorado, a few days ago in New York. He has been for the last two years with his uncle William Gilpin, ex-gov ernor of Colorada, in a tour of recou- noissance of the Northern Pacific coast. William Gilpin believes there is no serious olietacle in the way of bmldiug a railroad winch shall con nect the United States and Russia by way of Siberia, Behring straits, Alaska and British America. The only appar ent difficulty is in crossing Behriug straits, but this difficulty is only apparent. The straits are only forty miles wide and in the middle lies an island about big enough to hold New York. Brooklyn and Jersey City com bined. The water is nowhere more than forty feet deep aud there will be no trouble in erecting piers on the hard bottom. « onifleie IM of .UMzaets of Title« to lauds In county. Tille»examined.

This will give the Willamette Bridge Company a system of forty miles, reaching the north and south and east and west limits on both sides, of the river, and connected bv electric lines acroes both bridges.

Franz Wimmer, of Vienna; and. after the marriage of his daughter to a Swiss clergyman named Widmann, it became the property of the Widmann family in Berne, its genuineness is proved by dtxtuments, and confirmed by the au thority of Johannes Brahms.

Bancb Grass. “The bunch grass which grows so lux uriantly upon the western plains is a curious plant,” said a ranchman yester day. “It grows everywhere throughout the west wherever there is the slightest rainfall, and in the greatest luxuriance along the river bottoms. It's s godsend to the grazing industry, and although a homely plant, possesses more of the fat tening qualities than the far famed blue ;; ass of old Kentuck. Indeed, much of the fast horseflesh of the mountain dis tricts owes its staying powers to a diet upon this succulent grass. S|xikane. for example, took its full allowance of bunch grass in his coltish days. Bunch grass grows in thick hiinnnucks. or bunches, as the name would indicate.

However, if the snow is covered with n crust, steers are thus cut off from their usual food and die off in large numliers. as it is a pecu liarity of a steer that it never uses its b xifs in removing the snow from the familiar pasturage. Horses, however, break the crust with their hoofs, and thus stand the hard western winters bet ter than cattle. The buffalo always makes use of the luxifs in uncovering the food, and somewhere down in Kan sas there is a stock farm where this fac ulty of using the hoofs is being devel oped by ludicious crossing of buffaloes with the native cattle. — Minneapolis Journal.

Led- iard.of Carlisle, surgeon to the railway companies in the district, has devised an instrument which he thinks will serve all purposes. It consists of a holder, with a revolving disk of color«! glass —purple, mauve, green, yellow (the equivalent of a white signal lamp), blue and red, which, it will be seen, include all the colors used on railways The holder is held in front of a light, and the surgeon examine» the color sight of the candidate by revolving the disk and bringing the separate color«! gkLsse» in front of the orifice through which the flame shine»—thus exactly imitating tlie usual signal lamp, lie suggests that '; •• addition of a piece of smoked gl.i ■> ould make the colors much the same as they would appear in a fog. It is not convenient always to test on an actual line of railway; but a test with this instrument, in which the examiner can change the colors quickly, would at least weed out those who are positively color blind. — English Me- eb.-inic.

ST 22, 1890 A sudden thaw in spring is a common «tough cause of the swelling and over- ttpw of rivers, but few people have ex perience of what might oe called •’magic rivers,” which disappear almost as sud denly as they are born. One such, how ever. is described by W H. .M a Hock in his account of Cyprus, entitled ’in an Enchanted Island.” On a certain evening there was a suc cession of thunder showers, and then, all the night, a heavy and ceaseless downpour. "This," said my host, in the morning, “ought to make a river." I asked what he meant by this, and lie answered that the river below us was rarely anything more than a dry bed of pebbles, just as it was now. But generally once—sometimes three times—in the year it would suddenly fill with water, flow for an hour or two. and again become dry and silent. I felt that the sight must lie curious and wished that I might lie able to witness it. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a servant came to my bedroom and asked me to go into the garden. There I found my host with an opera glass, standing ou the bank. “Look!” exclaimed lie pointing. “It is coming. Listen! You can hear it." 1 listened and looked. I at, last caught a sound, faint and uncertain, as leaves rustling in a dream. Then suddenly, tar away on the plain, I saw something flash, like the head of a pointed sjiear. Grad ually this prolonged itself into a slim shining line, which presently took a curve. For a time its course was straight Then it curved again In ten minutes, over the brown surface of the fields the watei had stretched itself like a long, silvery snake, and the sound 1 had heard, growing every instant more distinct, explained itself to the ear as the voice of the stirred pebbles. The river channel skirted the bottom of the garden, and thus, as the tkxid went by, we had every opportunity of observing it. It pushed itself forward, headed by a mass of bubbles and scum. it split itself into fierce rivulets, which, a moment later, were drowned in the body of the stream, it gurgled against banks, it circled into transitory whirlpools Gradually, as we watched, it» volume »•■emed todiminish, and in an hour's time there was only a trickling rill, over which a child five years old might have stepped —Youth's Companion different styles and differ J.lS.

English View of the Behring Sea IHs)>ute [Londou <li«|i»t< h, Aug. 15.1 In the Commons to-night Alexander Htaveley Hall questioned the govern ment regarding the jxisition of the Behriug sea negotiations.

"Salisbury’s firmness,” says the Timex, “will show the colonists that the home government is not, as they sometimes affect to lielieve, a mere funnel for diplomatic notes." The Standard says: •‘The thun ders in which Blaiue has Jtxx'n dealing are of the most transparent aud ar tificial kind from first to last. The taiut of domestic American politics in fects the negotiations. Even if Ameri ca possessed the exslusive rights elaini«l.

The Chronicle says: “England and America may have differen«je, but they must remain friends.” It hopes that Blame's rejection of Salisbury's pnqx> sals will lxi only transient, as a protest against the apparent breach of faith on Salisbury’s part. 8 •— " living pnce«.
