In nil $f)40, 000 has been cut off tho geological sur vey appropriation. Tlio government was about to begin the testing of mineral fuels of tho West, Including tho coals and lignites of tho Pacific coast. Little work of this character can be done, for the appro priation was only $100,000, when twice that amount hat been annually appro priated lor similar work in tho hast. Instead of 1100,000 to carry on the investigation of mineral resources, In eluding black sand experiments at Port land, tho homo grants but $50,000. This will shut off the black sand work entirely, when tha preeent special fund is expended. Tho appropriation for forest reserve stirvoys is cut from $130,000 to $100, 000 and a cat of $00,000 Is made in tho appropriation for topographic sur veys, which form the basis of all the geological survey work. Congress has been Appropriating $200,000 annually to gange streams preliminary to under taking actual Irrigation work. This Is cut to $100,000 and mesne material In terference with irrigation surveys in lo calities where new projects are contem plated. Another cnt that will bo felt Is in tho appropriation for the Annual report on mineral resources of tho United Mates. This will cut down the sub ject matter of tho valuable government document and will restrict tho Issue to the Inconvenience ol the mining Inter ests of tha country. PACKERS TO THEIR KNEES.

L'tlcn Globe. wl&WR Faluns. A felon or whitlow la an Inflamma tion of tbo bnnd or finger, usually of tho last Joint of tbo finger. Its Import ance varies with tho seat of It; that Is to acy, with tlio portion of tbo finger Involved. It may affect tho skin only, tho tendons or sinews, or tbe fibrous coverings of tbo bone tho periosteum. A superficial whitlow, where tho In flammation Is confined to tho skin, may bo extremely painful, but otherwise It Is not n very serious matter; but this cannot bo said ot tho other two forma. In tho tendinous whitlow pus forms In tho fibrous sheath surrounding tho tendon; nnd unless tho Inflammation quickly subsides, or the matter la let out by tho surgeon's knife, tho pus may burrow down through tho sheath Into tho palm of tho hand, and result lu a pommnent crippling of tbo member. Ttie third varloty called by physicians tho sub-perlostenl Is that In which mat ter forms beneath the membrane which covers tho bone, Aa this membruno Is tough nnd Inelastic, tbo tension duo to tho increasing volumo of matter bo comes very grent, nnd gives rise to a throbbing, mnddcnlng pain. Tho relief afforded by a deep cut Into this In flamed linger, right down to tbo bone, Is mnglcnl, although tho cut hurts. This Is tbo only treatment for this form of felon, nud tho Incision should bo made early, for If It Is too long delayed tho bono will bo killed, nnd a discharging soro will remain which will later neces sitate n surgical operation, even If It does not result lu tha loss of tho last Joint of tho linger. Tho superficial whitlow does not ush- ally call for Buclt radical treatment, A clay poultice ofton affords great ro llof. This may bo mado by making a pasto of clay previously sterilized by bnklng In a very hot oven and adding glycerin to provent too rapid drying; or tho clay may bo obtnluod ready pre pared In tho drug store. This protects tho finger from Injury, keeps It cool, aud If applied early enough, may pro vent tho formation of mattor. When ouce pus has formed, howover, no mat tor what tho variety of tho felon, tho safest plan of treatment Is to cut Into tho Inflamed finger, and glvo exit to tho confined matter nnd rollovo tho tension of tho parts.
