Carrlrsg Siockmea.
From the Long Creek Eagle.
Messrs. A. 0- Ballance and D. O.
Browning, of this valley, who were in
Pendleton tew day ago, are quoted in
tbe East Oregonian as follows:
''BbeepmeD, cattlemen and horsemen
are altogether too oarelesa about tbe
manner in which tbey drive tbeir bands
through tbe country. I believe tbere is
law in Oregon wbioh makes it tbe duty
of any one driving a band over a moun
tain road to remove the looee rooks tbe
stook or sheep have rolled down into
the roadway. Immense numbers of live
stock have been driven over both tbe
Pendleton and Heppner roads this
spring and from the indications one
won Id be justified in believing that not
one man bag done his duty as plainly
tnld in tbe law. This is very unjust to
all teamsters and we have a valid cluim
to the right of protest. In some places
rocks as large as a man's body have been
rolled down, and tbe grades beforehand
good for wheeling, are Dearly impassa
ble. I do not know as it will make any
difference if we ntter this protest, but
perhaps it will. If tbese careless driv
ers of bands of sheep would observe our
simple rights, we wonld be very glad,
and hope some measures will be adopted
to enforce tbe plain provisions of tbe
law."
Tbe above is only , one of many pro
mts mnde by tenm-iters on these two
ronds. From patties recently parsing
over tbe Heppner mad, tbe Engle is in
formed tbat that highway is in a fright
ful condition, and all owing tothe pimule
foot tbat stockmen have utterly ignored
the law in regard to tbe driving of stock
on public- highways. Road supervisors
should in all snoh oases look into the
matter and proteot tbeir respective dis
tricts against tbese roving berds. For
tbe benefit of those who are ignorant of
tbe law, the following from Hills' Laws
of Oregon is printed :
Section 1. Any person or persons
driving nr herding, or causing to be
driven or berded, cuttle, horses, sheep,
or any kind of live-stock along or near
a public highway, and csnsing snob
highway to be obstructed thereby with
stones, earth, or otber debris, 8Dd leav
ing the same to so remain for more than
24 hours, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon oonviotion
thereof shall be fined in any sum not
exceeding $200, snoh fines to be enforced
as other fines in oriminal cases, and
justices of tbe peaoe of tbe oounty
where tbe offense is committed shall
have original jurisdiction of all viola

KIPLING'S SNAKE.
Showing the Force of an Ill-Ordered Im
agination. A writer in McClure's Magazine tells
how he edited a paper in India with the
help of Rudyard Kipling, and he men
tions as a side issue a peril from snakes
which Kipling once underwent. The
danger of snakes in Lahore was real
enough, and the ple was rich in scor
pions. The person who tells the story
had been stung by a scorpion in bed one
morning, and Kipling aided him in the
afternoon in a scorpion hunt. They
found 26 under the matting in he ver
anda outside the bedroom door, beside
a few centipedes, and put the lot into
a large tumbler, and filled it up with
whisky.
One day, when we were dressing in
the morning, I heard Kipling shouting,
and went into his room. His face wns
pale with horror, and he was tightly
clasping one leg above the knee.
"There's a snake," he gasped, "inside
my trousers, and I think I've got him by
the head. Put your hand up from be
low and drag him out."
I observed that Kipling only "thought"
he had it by the head, and that really
its head might be at the other end, in
which case but before I had finished,
I saw the horror in his face, relax and
give place to a puzzled look succeeded
by fits of laughter. Endeavoring to as
certain by the sense of touch whether it
was the head he was grasping, he had
discovered that it did not really feel like
any part of a snake at all. In fact it had
a buckle, and he realized that his braces
had been dangling inside the garment,
when he put It on.
SLEPT ON THE "SIDEBOARD."
A Green Countryman's First Experience
with a Folding; Bed.
An old, ray-whiskered man, who
had lived all his life on a small farm
near Batav'a, stopped at the hotel the
other evening, says the Buffalo Express.
He said he wanted a room for one night.
He was sent up to the third floor.
Later iu the evening he went out, and
didn't come back till midnight. He
had evidently been enjoying himself.
His breath smelled of whisky. He
went up to his room, and that was the
last seen of him until early in the morn
ing, when a boy went to call him for his
train. The boy got no answer when he
knocked on the door, and he opened
it and walked in. The folding-bed had
not been let down. The boy had to
look ibout for a moment or two be
fore he dincovsred the old man. Then
he heard a husky voice from up near
the ceiling somewhere. He looked up,
Hnd there was the guest curled up on
lop of the bed, rubbing his eyes. He
was fully dressed, with tbe exception
of his big cowhide boots, which were
standing on the floor.
"Say, mister," inquired the boy, "why
didn't yer get into bed?"
"B'goeh!" shouted the man, angrily,
'rhere ain't no bed. Here I've been
curled up on top of this here side-
board nil night without awinkof sleep.
Ain't this a nice way to treat a man?
Hey?"
LOVE LIGHTENS LABOR

The countryman has, if he be wise
enough to perceive it, good reason to
count himself a luckier person alto
gether than he whose work is done in
town. Forf the "latter, says Dlack and
White, unless he be exceeding well off,
there are few pleasures easily obtain
able in the intervals of toil. Food and
sleep are excellent in their way, but
they are necessities, and they are usual
ly taken under such circumstances a
to have nothing of the character of
luxuries. The countrymnn is luckier
than this. It may be that his toil la
tiring and that his wage is a small one,
but he labors in such a way that he al
ways gets the fullest enjoyment out ot
his rest, and when he pauses to take
his midday meal it is under conditions
that would make a perfect holiday for
the city, and to whoRe charm even the
man accustomed to them cannot grow
callous. He lies at ease among the
sheaves that hs has cut, and the sun.

RESTORATION OF OIL WELLS.
An Electric Heater Deelgned to Canae the
Renewed Flow.
The general theory concerning the
exhaustion of so many oil wells is that
the oil, in passing through the stone,
has clogged the porous stones with par
affine in such quantities that the fur
ther flow is stopped and the well ceases
to produce. In many cases, says the
Age of Steel, the supply in the earth has
not given out, but only ceases to flow
when the exit is stopped. The stone
through which the oil passes is of a very
porous nature, and, as the liquM is in
a crude state, the thick matter become
as dreg-s, settling in the rock ncaT the
edges of the bottom of the well. Tor
pedoes have been used to shatter the
stone at the bottom of the well, ihur
breakingup the clogged malter.but this
method is expensive. A new method
consists in lowering a pecuTarly-con-structed
electric heater into the well.
The machine, which is eigfat feet long
and resembles on iron cartridge. Is
placed in the bottom of the well and th"
current regulated so that the heater
receives just enough to produce an enor
mous heat without melting the metal.
By this peculiar construction of the
carbon-packed chambers the intense
heat is radiated about into the rock in
all directions. Thus the parafflne aw1
other refuse are softened and melter1
up so that they run, and when the well
is started a fresh flow takes place, juxt
as strong as it did when the well was
just sunk.
Blessing the Fish.
Thousands of spectators witnessed
the unique spectacle of the annual bless
ing of the fisheries, which took place at
Folkestone, England, recently. A pro
cession, consisting of surpliced choirs
and clergy, with cross and banners, left
St. Peter's church, and after it had made
a detour of the fishing quarter of the
town chanting the litany a position was
taken up overlooking the sea. The
vicar of the parish gave an appropriate
address, and prayers were offered ask
ing a Divine blessing on the fisherman's
calling.
Florida Truck Farmers.
There are indications of cooperation
among the truck farmers of Florida.
As a means of encouraging truck grow
ing along their lines in that state the
Plant system' has called a meeting to
consult those who wish to cultivate
vegetables, to the end that the people
and the railroads may mutually benefit
each .other in producing and marketing
vegetable crops. The proposition is
made by the Plant system that the grow
ers shall meet and form themselves into
an association In order that they may
be effectually benefited, and it offers to
furnish the best seeds that can be se
cured of various crops that can be
grown successfully in that section at
cost, without any charges for transpor-
"ation.

MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY
Two Sciences That Are Closely Belated
and necessary to Each Other.
Probably in none of the sciences, ap
plied or pure, is a knowledge of higher
mathematics so essential as astron
omy. Certainly none involves so much
mathematical labor. The method of
the least squares is one in almost con
stant use by those engaged in astro
nomical calculation, and the amount of
labor often entailed by this process is
enough to make the head of an ordi
nary citizen swim even to think of.
One of the most extensive least square
solutions ever made, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, has recently been pub
lished by Prof. Schur, of Goettingen.
The helionietric trhingulations of the
stars in the cluster Praesepe (the Bee
hive) gave rise to a series of 74 normal
equations, Involving 74 unknown quan
tities. The solution of this set of
quantities was effected by Prof. Schur
in ten weeks by means of the usual
Gaussian method of elimination. Prof.
Schur comes to the conclusion that no
other method by successive approxi
mations is to be compared to tbe
Gaussian method, even though it might
seem to promise a saving of labor in
advance. Prof. Schur mentions as the
longest least square solution he has
been able to find in astronomical liter
ature a geodetic adjustment made by
Baeyer, in which a set of normal equa
tions with 68 unknowns was success
fully solved by the famous computer,

QUEER SETTLEMENT.
Hornets and Birds Become Friends and the
Former Guard the tatter's Nests.
On the broad, brown salt meadows
that skirt the Housatonic river, just
above its mouth, is a vast colony of
marsh wrens, relates the St. Paul Di8
patch. In the acres of tangled tules
and cat-tails the nests, which are as
large as one's head, are so compactly
constructed and so thoroughly thatched
as to be entirely weather-tight. As
a rule the thrifty little chattering
wrens prefer not to occupy a last year's
nest, so there are every season hun
dreds of empty ones. They are not al
lowed to remain vacant long, for there
are too many creatures seeking just
such snug quarters. One specimen of
field or meadow mice take possession
of a great many of them. Big spiders,
too, love to nest in the abandoned basket-like
abodes and live for many sea
sons in them. The most desirable ten
ants of all are the big black and white
hornets. By far the greater number of
the old nests are inhabited by tbese
fiery fellows, and, odd to relate, they
are the best of friends with the land
lords. As if by agreement with the wrens,
they keep a perpetual guard over the
new nests, as well as those where they
live. Let a dog, an unconscious rail or
snipe-shooter, a bird-egging boy or any
creature whatever approach the nests
without warning, a cohort of winged
warriors will fall on the intruder, ana
flight is the only safe course. The
wrens seem full conscious of the value
of such sentinels, for they take care
to build their nests always very near
to the old. The birds are themselves
entirely defenseless, and, their nests
being easily located on account of size
and the noise made by the wrens, they
have been in some localities entirely
wiped out by egg Collectors. The boys
have learned to give this colony a wide
berth.
OF POLITICAL IMPORTANCE.
Rapid Increase of Population In Germany
Meed of an Outlet.
The rapid increase of population in
Germany, due, it is believed, to the in
crease of manufactures, is becoming of
political importance, says the Specta
tor. According to the corrected return
of the census, taken on December Z,
1895, the empire now contains 52,244,
503 inhabitants, while France contains
only 39,000,000. The Germans, more
over, add at least 5,000,000 to their
number every ten years, while the
French may be said not to increase a t
all. As both countries train every
available man, the German army must
always be greater than the French, and
in another generation will be greater
by more than a third. Again, it is
doubtful whether Germany, which is
naturally a far poorer country than
France, can long sustain it3 population,
which must, therefore, either emigrate
in increasing numbers or burst out in
some direction into lands less over
full. It is believed to be a clenr per
ception o( these facts which makes seme
ruling men in Germany so eager for a
dependency into which Germans
might swarm. They would not swarm
even if they got one. The idea of the
German emigrant is to escspe official
dom, not to replace himself under it in
a country beyond the seas.
King Humbert and Bis Soldiers.
King Humbert, in the name of him-'
self, of Queen Margherita, and of the
princes of the royal family of Italy, has
given to the government for the fam
ilies of the dead and wounded soldiers
In Africa the sum of 4,000,000 francs.
This sum is to be" distributed without
distinction between the Italian and the
native soldiers, who fought Bide by side
against the Abyssinians. King Hum
bert has also expressed his Intention of
furnishing, if necessary, another sum of
1,000,000 francs, in his name and that of
the queen, to be divided among the
wounded. ,
