SHOALWATER BAY.
Shoal water Bay, "V. T., most
appropriately named, embraces at
high tide a surface area estimated
at eighty square miles, about one
half of which is laid bare at low
tide. The entrance is five and one
half miles wide from Leadbetter
point on the south to Lewis or Toke
point on the north. There are two
channels, the north andsouVh, with
a large shoal called the middle
Mauds, lying between them. The
bar at the north channel is about a
mile in extent, and has three and a
quarter fathoms at low water; at
the i-outh channel the bar is about
a mile in width with four fathoms
of water upon it. Good channels
arc found throughout the bay, but
pilots are necessary to follow them.
An arm stretches southward for
fourteen or fifteen miles towards
Baker's bay, with an average width
of about three and one-half miles.
There are three islands in the ba3,
known as Long, Pine, and Ttouml
islands the former the largest, be
ing six miles long and one and a
half milos wide. The shoals are
covered with shell-fish, and salmon
and codfish, halibut, sturgeon and
herring abound. It is a great re
sort for wild geese, swan, mallard
and canvas-back duck, and other
water fowl. The "Willopai, Pulu,
Xasel, Nccomanche and North
rivers are the most important
streams flowing into it. There is
a- considerable quantity of unoc
cupied government lands, adapted
to dairying' and fanning, lying
along the latter, now attracting
settlers.
"What the Lord Said to Zachias"
When wasj surveyor gen
eral ol Oregon, a certain surveyor
living not one hundred miles from
Marion county went to tlie said
s. g. and asked for a contract.
He was informed that there was a
contract to be let to some "good
man," whereupon the surveyor
said he would take it. The s. g.
hemmed aud hawed for some time
and said there must be a little
preliminary deposit made. The
surveyor did not understand the
nature of the remark, and asked
the s. g. to be more specific.
The said s. g. asked the unso
phisticated surveyor ordinary, what
the Lord said to Zachias. The
surve3'or had forgotten lire conver
sation, he said, as it took place
before his time. "I'll tell ou"
said the surveyor general quickly
turning his back"upon the aston
ished surveyor and extending his
right hand behind him like a true
disciple of "Boss Tweed. "The
Lord said unto Zachias: "Come
down! Come down!" The honest
surveyor didn't get the contract,
but he lived to tell the tale all the
same.
The Moon and the "Weather.
It is generally harder to kill a
superstition than even to discover
its origin. Nobody pretends to
know why it is that people gener
ally, especially if they live in the
country, lay claim to great weather
wisdom and believes that there is
always a change of weather when
the moon changes, but the fact is !
that it was proved long ago in a J
more certain way than that which
Sir "William Thompson has em
ployed to the same end, that the
notion has no basis in truth. Ac
curate tables of the weather were
kept through several years for the
express purpose of finding out
whether the weather changed with
the changed moon, and it was dis
covered that the weather did not
change a greater number of times
when the moon changed than
when it did not change both
were about alike. Sir W. Thomp
son told the British association at
its-late meeting that "careful ob
servation with the barometer, ther
mometer and anemometer, at the
time of new moon, full moon and
half moon, has iailed to establish
any relation whatever between the
phases of the moon and the weath
er," and that "if there is any de
pendence ol the weather orr the
phases of the moon, it is only to a
degree quite imperceptible to
ordinary observation."' ft is there
fore true that observation has
shown that, as a matter of fact,
the moon ha rro influence upon
and no coincidence with the
changes of the weather, arrd there
is no reason why it should have
anv influence.
At a rvi'.ent meeting of the Britij
ish association irr Southampton,
Prof. Leone Levy, read a paper on j
crime in Great Britain. "Accord
ing to the statistics issued,' the
professor said, "the number of in
dictable offenses within the last
terr years in England, Wales, and
Ireland indicated a slight increase
in crime. In recent years, both
absolutely and relatively to popu
lation, it will be seen that the
number of crimes reported to have
beerr committed was uniformity
smaller in Ireland than irr England
and "Wales." From the figures in
question it appears that during the
five years ended in 1SS0, the ratio
of crime per 1,000 of the popula
tion was 2.00 in England and
Wales, against 1.0 in Ireland. Tn
1880 2S persons were convicted of
murder in England, against ' in
Ireland. Offenses against morals
were in the proportion of O.'il to
the 1,000 irr England, against 0.04 I
in Ireland. Since Prof. Levi deals I
with "crimes reported" as well as
the convictions, his expoe adds to
the suspicion that the howl over
crime in Ireland is too loud.
Careful investigation has estab
lished the certainty that a 1,000
pound steer rreeds eighteen pounds
of good hay per day merely for his
support. If he improves any he
must have more. A steer, there
fore, which has attained to that
weight, but has rro appetite for any
more food, or power of assirurla
tion if he does eat more, is un
profitable to the owner. lie is
daily consuming valuable food
with no increase. If a steer will
demand atrd assimilate six pounds
more per day, then one-fourth of
his food goes to the profit of the
owrrer. Atrd so on irr proportion
to the amount he profitably con
sumes and eonvei Is irrto meat, fat,
muscle, etc., the more profitable is
such stock. And this what stock
men when they call stock good
feeders. And this is one of the
questions breeders and feeders
must look to.
Quite a sensation was created at
a circus at Marquette, Mich., last
week. In the act where a circirs
rider, disguised as a drunken
tramp, falls into the ritrg and wants
to ride a horse, the ringmaster
threw the drunkard out, and with
much seeming indignation asked
why there were no policemen
around to keep order. A German
policeman, who was standing by,
and who knew the man bclotrged
to the circus, felt indignant at hav
ing the police abused, so he took
the alleged drunken rrratr, and
notwithstanding the circus people
tried to explain the circumstances,
he was hustled off to the lock-up
and the act left out. After the
show the proprietor went to the
jail and got the performer out, and
abused the policeman a little for be
ing so officious. The policeman
said, "Veil, a choke is a cheke, but
ven a man zay vere is de bolice,
and vy don'd dey arrest dat drunk
man, den de Marquette bolice is In
dot vicinity, and don'd you forget
it, Mr. Circus, 1 bet you. '

A Whale Stales a Ship.
"Moby Dick," the name given
by whalers in the Pacific to a
fierce whale which attacks the
largest ships, evidently has left a
descendant to "the manner born."
Art Australian schooner was at
tacked by a whale arrd almost in
stantlv Mink last March. The le
viathan had rro sootrcr been de
scried than he charged the vessel,
arrd the attack was so sudden that
nothing could be done to repel it.
lie delivered a blow on the star
board bow and stove a large hole.
The captairr at orrce ordered the
boat to be prepared for escape,
and water and provisions being
placed irr it, went below for the
log-book and ship's papers, but the
vessel sunk before he could regain
the deck, and he perished.
The receipts of the patent-office
the last month wore ,S7,0 19.U, atr
increase over the corresponding
month of lS81,of W7,700.43. The
receipts for eight months of this
year amouiilculu 085,440.85 an
increase over the same period last
year ol ?iuS,Ubo.bU. Tire large
increase is considerably in excess
of the estimates, arrd Commission
er Marble believes that the ac
counts at the close of the present
year will show that the receipts
In excess of expenditures will
amount to over one million
dollars. The enormous amounts
paid by the inventors of this coun
try, show the remarkable strides
our natron is making in manufac
tures, arts and sciences.
A few weeks ago the largest
blast ever fired on the Oregorr and
California railroad was set off near
Stevens' camp. The charge con
sisted of 2,700 pounds of Judson
and 3,000 pounds of black powder.
It was placed in a sixty-foot drill
in the side of the mountain. The
effect of the blast was simply tre
mendous. It tore down the side
of the mountain, dammed up the
creek for a mile and blocked up the
wagon road for abtnit a mile.
The governors of Massachusetts
cannot claim to have belonged to
the aristocratic classes. Talbot
was a factory lad, Rice a station
er's clerk, Gaston a Connecticut
storekeeper's son, JJoutwell a
village storekeeper, Banks a "bob
bin bo3'," Everett a clergyman's
son, Emory Washburn a country
lawyer, William 13. Washburn a
manufacturer, arrd Andrew a coun
try merchant's son.
Bob Ingersoll is so powerful in
his eloquence that ho can make
arry juryman believe there is rro
hereafter.
"I consider it a great pleasure,"
writes A. J. Doak, Esq., manager
American Douse, Amesbury,Mass.,
"to state that the inflammatory
rheumatism which so severely af
fected my feet, yielded at once
upon a lew applications of the St.
Jacobs Oil, which is woi thy of the
