The cdents are not mentioned in the deci- 1on, but the man whom it was claimed stowed the mice to establish a resi- ence in his bed is allowed to retain vossession of his homestead, the rul- ing of the local land office being re- versed and the contest dismissed. A peculiar feature of the case is that when the family cf mice was first men- ioned it was contended that their presence in the bed of the entryman srgued an abandonnrent of the home- tead, and the local land office appar- ently took the same view of the mat- ter. But when the decision was ap- pealed from it was set up that the presence of the mice was an argument u favor of the homesteader. lred O. trutt was the entryman, having taken p a homestead near Davenport three ears ago. Last August John O'Neil usiituted a contest to the homestead ntry, alleging that Grutt had aban- doned the claim, did not keep up a ontinuous residence thereon, and that the only inhabitants of the shanty on he ranch were a family of mice. fter hearing the case the registrar rd receiver decided that Grutt’s en- try should be canceled. From this de- on Grvjt had sixty days in which to file an ipr xt Washington. The a by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt.

Not long ago @ very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been fissures in the rocks. These fissures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow- els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in a large way, the production of it constituting an im- portant indnstrv.

Ballooning at Sea. The French navy is now being fitted out with vessels which are to carry on the science of ballooning at sea. A French cruiser, the Sfax, belonging to the Mediterranean squadron, has been fitted out expressly for experiments with balloons. The balloon itself is kept on deck in a half inflated condi tion. It does not take up much space of itself, but the equipment necessary for proper balloon work demands a good deal of room. Whenever it may be deemed necessary to learn of the presence of vessels in the neighbor- hood of the French squadron, the bal- lon will be inflated and sent up; and its occupants will thus have a view of a far-greater extent of ceean than could be seen from the deck or mast of’ a vessel.—Boston Advertiser. fhe Mountain Parret of New Zealan& The Kea, or mountain parrot of New Zealand, is a very fuuny Vice heast. When he meets tourists on the tramp, he at once falls in solemnly,with his family and chums, all waddlg in Indian file. Here is 2 scene described by a traveler whe recently made the ascent of the Fox glacier: The keas having settled on the ice began to fol- iow iu a iong straggling line, about 15 of them. Then have a preternaturally solemn walk, but when in a hurry they hop alopg on both feet looking very eager and very much in earnest. To seo these fifteen birds hopping along behind in a string as if their very lives depended on keeping me in sight was ridiculously comic. The ice was undu- jJating, with little valleys and hum- mocks, and the birds would now, for a second or two, disappear into a hollow and now show up on a hummock, pause & moment, and then hop down again out of sight into the next shadow. To judge by their expressions and manner, they were in a great state of anxiety on emerging from a hollow on to a bummock, as to whether I was still there. Now and then the one in front would appear, craning his neck, and on seeing me still aliead, wéuld turn round and shriek “K-e-e-a,” as much as to say, “It's all right, beys, come along.” And the others, putting their heads down, would set their teeth and travel “all they kmew,” a fat one in the rear evidently making very heavy weather of it.

The officials consider that it is as necessary to have chaplains at fires as it is to have them accompany troops to the firing line in time of battle.
